The Story of the Prince, Leiva
Chapter 26
“Don't worry about me. That's not very important.” Leiva asked with a slight smile, “Mother will also appear in the Year End Rating, right?”
"Sure, he's coming. But, she had no idea that you would attend the Year-End Assessment,” Syifa said, “If Empress Ruby knew that the Ninth Prince was already a warrior, she would be very happy."
“Your Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, please allow me to wear the royal robe on you. Now, you can go to Valor Arena under Mount Dom,” Syifa said.
Later, Leiva discovered that Syifa was holding a bronze box, inside which was a fire-red robe depicting a phoenix, a hat, a jade belt, and a pair of golden shoes.
At the Stardom Altar, different social classes wore different clothes, and everyone had to adhere to the dress code strictly. Only the prince could wear the royal robe while the princess could wear a bare robe.
After training and repairing her body for three months, Leiva had already changed greatly, An incredible change happened to her person and temperament. He was no longer what he used to be, now he exuded the spirit of youth heroism.
He was filled with health and spirit as soon as he put on the royal robe and hat. His face was too difficult to describe.
“Your Highness the Ninth Prince, you really look more like a prince than any other prince!" Syifa looked at Leiva with her heart beating continuously. With two red hues appearing on her cheeks, she couldn't help but be attracted by her good looks.
Leiva smiled and said, "Sir Syifa, let's go to Valor Arena!”
Syifa nodded slightly and said, “The Empress Ruby left early to pay her respects to His Majesty. We must hurry to avoid the disgusting utterances of concubines and princes.”
The Valor Arena is built in the area of Mount Dom. The Year-End Assessment was a meeting for the Royal Family that only ranked second after the Worship Ceremony. Even the Prince of Stardom Altar secluded himself for refining to attend the Year-End Assessment.
—
Before sunrise, the prince, princess, and concubine rushed to the Valor Arena early enough to wait for the presence of the Prince of Stardom Altar.
With a solemn face, the Stardom Altar Prince sat at the highest position of the arena. He glanced at the princes and princesses, then said with a smile, “Seventh Prince is not back, is he?”
The Queen, who was sitting next to the Prince of Stardom's Altar, replied, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince sent a letter half a month ago to tell us that he will not return, he said, because he has to deal with important issues. Then, given his cultivation, it made no sense for him to attend the Year-End Assessment!”
“The Seventh Prince's absence lowers my expectations of this Year's End Assessment.” The Prince of Stardom Altar was a little disappointed.
Empress Miya, the Eighth Prince's birth mother, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, even though the Seventh Prince is absent, the Ninth Prince will be present this year.”
“Oh, Is that true? Ninth Prince?" Prince Stardom's Altar turned his gaze to Empress Ruby.
Empress Miya said with a smile, "The Ninth Prince opened the Mythical Mark three months ago."
"Thul? Hahaha... Empress Ruby, why didn't you tell me about this in the first place?" Prince Altar Stardom looked at Empress Ruby, her mood improving.
After all, the Ninth Prince was his own son and the only prince who had yet to open the Mythical Mark. The Prince of Stardom Altar was quite happy that his nine princes had opened the Mythical Mark.
Empress Ruby bit her lips and whispered, “I dare not surprise you, Your Majesty, because she just got it.”
"In my eyes, the opening of his Mythical Sign is certainly a thing worthy of our celebration. Even if his future achievements were limited, he was still a warrior stronger than ordinary people. Where's she? Ask him to come see me!" Prince Stardom Altar replied.
Right now, looking as if someone was wearing a royal robe, Leiva stepped along the tall stone steps and said, “Eighth brother, my brother, is it really a good thing to say something bad behind my back?” his tone sounded condescending.
With an imposing appearance, Leiva walked towards the Eighth Prince, giving him a sharp look. Clenching his fists, the Eighth Prince looked extremely angry, "How dare Leiva speak in such a tone to me? I'll teach him a lesson!" The eighth Prince.
Leiva shook his sleeves and moved forward. When he saw the Stardom Altar Prince sitting on top, he bowed to him and said, “Please allow me to pay my respects to His Majesty!”
Hearing what Leiva referred to as the Prince of Stardom Altar, everyone present was startled by his bravery. There was a cold atmosphere at the meeting. Everyone held their breaths and did not dare to make a sound.
"What did you call me? Your Honor?" The Altar Prince Stardom looked at Leiva.
The queen snorted and said, “Ninth Prince, how dare you speak like that? Do you want to deny your father?”
Bugh!
Empress Ruby knelt on the ground trembling and hurriedly explained that Leiva was too negligent to say the proper mention.
“I didn't say anything wrong!” With sparkling eyes and a straight body, Leiva stands out from the crowd. He added, “Being a father is an obligation to educate his son. I was raised in bad circumstances. Please ask yourself. As my father, have you ever taught me? Have you ever helped me? Or have you ever cared about me?"
“Being a husband must be competent, gratitude, compassion, and morality. But, Your Majesty, when my mother was beaten with a mace commanded by the queen, did you have any affection for her? My mother has suffered a lot in the last three years. Do you have any gratitude for him? On a cold winter night, we were kicked out of Crystal Palace, we went to the South Altar as if we were banished. Do you have morality for us?"
“Because you can't be a good father or a good husband, am I wrong to call you His Majesty?”
This was the first time someone had spoken to the Stardom Altar Prince in such a tone. Shaking with fear, the people present, servants and eunuchs even knelt on the ground one after another.
The Stardom Altar Prince changed his expression and looked at the queen beside him. He asked in a deep voice, “Who gave the order? Who drove them to the South Altar?”
The queen just sat quietly, glaring at the Eighth Prince and Empress Miya.
Brak!
The Eighth Prince and Empress Miya instantly knelt down. They became limp with the cold sweat that came out endlessly from their foreheads.
"That's me!" Empress Miya's voice shook.
Although it was actually ordered by the queen, how could Empress Miya dare to reveal the ringleader behind it?
Prince Altar Stardom snorted in disdain and asked, “You don't want me to find out and so you went back alone to find out what happened first?”
Empress Miya glanced at the Eighth Prince beside her, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, no one is involved other than me.”
"Well, since you want to shoulder the responsibility alone, I will meet your needs. Listen carefully! From now on, you guys move to the South Altar!" Prince Stardom Altar replied.
Upon hearing this, Empress Miya understood that she was completely banished to the cold palace and it would be difficult to change her status. Then he became weak and fainted.
