However, the Emperor wasn't finished and continued, "At the end of her life, she placed me in an illusion to talk to me. She thanked me because I was able to free her. She told me that after she recovered her memories, she returned back to the Clan. After her mother died, she was forced to be the Guardian of her clan and accept the crown which had been passed down from one generation to another."
"The Crown had an incredibly strong spirit within it, as soon as someone from the Moonlight Demon Fox Clan wears it. Their body shall be controlled by that spirit and the person wouldn't be able to oppose it at all. Only at the end of her life was she free from that spirit."
"However, this wasn't all she told me. She also informed me that 2 years ago, when she was traveling with me. She had been pregnant with my child. I was shocked to know that and I was scared. My hands trembled since I didn't even know if I had accidentally killed my child or not. However, she told me that she had a daughter and she was about just 1 month old. The Spirit was planning on taking control of her body since the talent within her was much greater than my wife's body. That is my daughter Rita Vermillion."
"On her deathbed, my wife asked me to take care of her. And I vowed at that moment, nobody was going to make my daughter unhappy. I will destroy all the 7 generations of the person who will hurt her, no matter the background, no matter the consequences." There was a cold intent accompanied by a strong killing intent.
Saito couldn't match the king at this moment at all. He also didn't doubt the king's words. Forget 7 generations, the person's whole family tree would be uprooted.
At this moment, Saito felt fear for the first time. He started to shiver uncontrollably and tried hard to keep his prideful Dragon's Aura under control.
However, he was sure, even if he used all his aura, this killing intent, and cold aura wasn't something he could go up against.
This also made Saito understand why he hadn't acted against him. If he acted against Saito then his daughter would be undeniably sad no matter how much he explained his reasons.
Unless it was a large matter which threatened a lot of lives. The Emperor wouldn't take action against Saito.
This caused him to be relieved since it meant that he was somewhat safe in the Palace. Even though due to his ambitions, he was going to go up against the Emperor eventually, it looked like there wouldn't be any immediate actions against him.
The Emperor stared at Saito who was thinking deeply about something and asked him, "Is there something troubling you?"
Saito gave a nod and asked him seriously, "Your majesty, I am indeed puzzled about some things. If Rita is indeed the daughter of the Guardian of Moonlight Fox Demon Clan then why can I not sense any beast aura around her? I believe that even she herself is not aware of that. And I want to ask about this Crown… Where is it? Is it safe to assume that the spirit cannot leave the Crown? Will it be able to harm Rita or not?"
He was incredibly worried about this matter. Now that he had come to know that there was a spirit out there that would be able to possess Rita, it made him a bit anxious on how to deal with it.
The Emperor though revealed a calm smile and answered him, "She is indeed the daughter of the Guardian of Moonlight Fox Demon Clan however I have suppressed that bloodline with my technique. It will suppress this bloodline until she reaches 24 years of age. After that, it will activate. There will be no harm to her and she will get stronger very swiftly. Though since she is still half-human, her body will remain human while her spirit will have a qualitative change. As for the Crown, I have sealed it in a secret location. I won't tell you the place and you should understand the reason why."
"I have no doubt that the Spirit cannot leave the Crown as long as it's sealed within that secret location. Before my death, I shall make sure to destroy the spirit residing within that Crown." His words were gentle but Saito could feel that strong killing intent radiated from his words.
This wasn't surprising since it was because of that Spirit that his wife had suffered. Perhaps, this whole attack against the Northern Region of the kingdom wouldn't have occurred if it wasn't for the spirit.
The King had unconsciously blamed the Spirit for all that happened even though he was the one who made that choice. And Saito didn't blame him for that. If Saito was in that place, he would have done the same.
The King then stared at Saito and gave him a small smile, "I have only told this to you because if you are going to marry my daughter in the future, you need to know the truth. I wanted to know what were your thoughts about my daughter who is a demi-human by blood."
For Saito, it was like the easiest question he had to answer, "I have nothing against the demons or any other races. I wouldn't even care if she was a complete demon with whom I am in love. You can rest assured that I bring down my sword against anyone who dares to hurt her."
The King laughed out loud and nodded with a satisfied expression, "Good… I cannot sense any lies from your mouth. I am satisfied with your response. However, there is still the matter of killing my son Rai. I believe you should know that it won't be so easy to let you off for that matter."
"Indeed. I would be incredibly surprised if it was that simple." Saito spoke seriously and wondered what the King wanted from him.
"Good. Then you should be prepared to compensate me. My second eldest son and my third eldest daughter have been kidnapped by this mysterious clan. I know what they want but it's impossible to hand it over to them. Every single person in the Vermillion Kingdom and the Dwarf kingdom will be killed without any mercy. Even though I know their location, I cannot make a move against them since they could kill two of my children. And further, if I make a move, 3-4 Demon Lords who are been waiting for me to leave the Vermillion Kingdom will strike the palace and destroy everything. Especially every person with the Royal Bloodline." There was a hint of anger on the Emperor's face as he couldn't make the move against this clan.
"I did make arrangements with the personal guards of all my children that they are to kill anyone who appears around them suddenly. But, fortunately, you managed to understand their method of teleportation within the palace and asked Rita to place all of the Symbols within the Inner Prison. I was able to deal with all of them at once." There was a hint of a smile of gratitude on his face.
"I have a mission for you now. Since you already know their location. I want you to go to that location and rescue my children. If you are able to successfully do that then I shall ignore the fact that you killed my son and treat you as my son-in-law in the future." As the Emperor said that, Saito stayed silent for a period of time.
He stared at the Emperor and asked him, "Why does the Emperor want me to go? I am sure that there are other experts who can be assigned to this mission."
There was a trace of a smile on the Emperor's face as he said, "Indeed. The reason I am choosing you is that your Bloodline is incredibly similar to the one those 14 had. No… I can feel that the Bloodline within you is even stronger than their bloodline. I shall not inquire how you acquired this Bloodline but if you go there, there will be a lesser chance of you being discovered and you could easily mix up with them."
What the Emperor didn't say was that, even if Saito got killed. The Emperor would be able to use his death as a reason to storm the whole Sea Dragon Race.
Saito now understood why the Emperor chose him. He didn't think that the Emperor was even able to sense the Bloodlines. He finally nodded his head and replied, "Very well, your majesty. I need 3 days to prepare myself for this long journey."
"That shall not be an issue." With that, the Emperor stared at the chess again and said, "I hope you will be able to complete this mission. Let's have another match after you return."
"Yes, your majesty.." Saito respectfully replied. He then said, "Then I shall take my leave…"
