Monarch of Darkness

"Levi, how can you say such things?", Evan glared at Levi.

"I have already taken an oath. It is a vow to myself. My Sylvia clan is always loyal to your family. Now, if you manage to rescue uncle Jules, then why can't I offer my life to your family?", Levi spoke with a firm gaze.

"Fine, no need to take such a vow. Come with me to see my aunt. Sister Emilia and Ben, you can come with us", Evan spoke as he looked helplessly at Levi.

Levi had a determined appearance as he looked at Evan. He knew he was imposing on his relationship with Evan as it was normally impossible to request Nascent soul cultivators for assistance.

So, he was serious when he took this vow Infront of Evan. For him, uncle Jules and Belle was like a family. When he was on the verge death, they saw affection and care for him. Now that he knew their predicament, he could only ask Evan for help. In his opinion, his vow was a very small thing he could do in return.

Evan was helpless Infront of the stubbornness of Levi. He knew Levi's character very well. He was a boy who had his own pride and stubbornness despite his young age. So, he could only bring him to see his aunt as he knew he couldn't rebuke the words of Levi.

It was a short distance from the guest palace to the moon palace. Evan led the way and Levi, Emilia and Ben followed after Evan towards the moon palace.

Emilia and Ben both were from powerful families but they were still feeling nervous to see the queen of the Thousand swords kingdom. After walking along the whitestone pathway, Evan reached near the moon palace.

"Your highness", the palace guards who were guarding the vicinity of Moon palace, bowed immediately after seeing Evan coming their way. Evan didn't mind them and walked towards the palace.

Levi and the pair of Emilia and Ben followed after him but they were stopped by the palace guards. "No outsiders are allowed to enter the Moon palace", a palace guard said with an expressionless face.

"We will wait here", Levi spoke after being stopped. Emilia and Ben nodded their head and stood silently near Levi.

"Levi, wait there. I will ask aunt to come outside", Evan spoke after seeing Levi being stopped by the palace guards. Lei nodded his head in return.

Evan entered inside the moon palace and saw the familiar palace maids. They were chatting happily about something. After seeing Evan, they stopped what they were doing and bowed towards Evan.

"Have you seen aunt?", Evan asked the bowing maids. 

"Her majesty is accompanying her highness, second queen. They both are inside the room of your highness now", a maid promptly replied Evan's question.

Evan nodded his head and walked towards his room. Before reaching his room, he heard giggling sound of his mother and the soft laughter of his aunt. "What are they doing?", Evan thought inside his mind.

There were palace maids Infront of his door and they immediately bowed after seeing Evan. He didn't mind them and directly entered his room.

Upon entering he saw his mother giggling and there was a teasing expression on the face of his aunt. His big sister Sophie was sitting in between them and both of her cheeks red as she wore an embarrassed expression on her beautiful face.

"Child, come and sit here", Olivia beckoned his hand towards Evan. Sophie's face reddened further after she noticed Evan.

"Where is little Alice?", Brianna asked casually after not seeing the lively little girl behind Evan.

"She is gone. She has left for her homeland", Evan replied with a slightly dejected expression.

"Oh, that little girl has finally decided to return home", Brianna said in with a slightly surprised expression. 

"She should have told goodbye to us", Olivia spoke as a saddened expression appeared on her face. She had a soft spot for the mischievous Alice.

"Olivia, that girl has sneaked out from her home. It is given that she can't run away forever", Brianna spoke after seeing the expression of Olivia.

"Mother, no need to worry. She will come back soon", Evan spoke. Olivia nodded her head.contemporary romance

She looked at Sophie as a thought flashed past in her head. "It is as big sis has said. Sophie should give us a little child soon after their marriage", she murmured in a very soft voice. But her voice was still heard by everyone present. Sophie's cheeks looked like two red apples as she couldn't gaze at anyone present. Evan looked at his mother with slight surprise. Then he turned his gaze towards Sophie and watched her flushed expression.

A strange expression appeared on his face as he smiled lightly.

"Little brat, what are you being happy for? You are only twelve this year", Brianna chided from smile.

Evan's face reddened slightly as he heard her aunt's words. "I am not being happy", he lightly protested as a smiling expression appeared on everyone present.

The current banter washed away the little sadness in Olivia and Brianna's heart. Sophie sneaked a glance at Evan and then lowered her head again. Olivia and Brianna observed her little antics with smiling expression on their faces.

"Aunt, can you come with me outside? Levi has an important request to make. It is not something I can promise him. So, I have come to talk to you", Evan looked at Brianna.

"Where is he?", Brianna asked after she heard the words of Evan. 

"He is waiting outside the moon palace", Evan replied. 

What happened to Levi?", Sophie looked at Evan with a questioning gaze. Olivia also looked at Evan with a curious look on her face.

"A pair of young boy and girl has come to ask for help. Levi has a deep relationship with them. So, he asks for help", Evan explained.

"Ok, let's see what is it he wants. As long as it is nothing much, there is no problem in helping", Brianna spoke.

"It is going to be problematic", Evan thought inside his mind. He led the way for his aunt. His mother and Sophie also accompanied his aunt to see Levi.

The guards immediately bowed down after seeing the two queens and the crown prince of the kingdom. Brianna looked toward and saw Levi who was waiting outside the moon palace.

Levi bowed towards Brianna and Olivia after seeing them. He had a worried expression on his face as he was not sure whether queen Brianna would agree to his request.

Nascent soul stage experts were the supreme powerhouses in the Northpeak empire and he was not sure about the number of Nascence soul stage experts of Thousand swords kingdom.

Moreover, the battle between Golden orb kingdom and Northpeak empire was ongoing. So, he was not sure whether royal family will take the risk even if they have required number of Nascent soul stage experts.
