Chapter 12: Oh my, Such an Adorable Emperor.
"Imperial Uncle!"
Snow turned around when he heard the familiar call of the one who most matter the most in the original Xen life and the main point of his mission in this world.
A young boy, still a child, with long black hair woven up with a crown on his head along with a face still retain the baby fat, making his large red eyes looking far more adorable.
The Young Emperor looking entirely like a beautiful and delicate but adorable doll.
Ah, so of course with that kind of innocent and naive appearance, it will be hard thing to get his servants specially the people on the official courts, have their loyalty and trust over his abilities to govern the people.
But Snow can work with that, it can also be a weapon that the young child could use to let the people lower their guard down more and make it easier to deceive and manipulate with the right mind set and skill.
Being underestimated has always been useful toward over confident enemies, specially someone in the winning side.
Snow then wave his hand ordering all the servants to leave them alone, before turning to the older eunuch that has stayed behind.
"Leave, I want to speak alone with my nephew."
Snow just watched as one of the trusted people of Xen leave after getting over his surprise and shock for a split second, fully showing his ability to adapt and handle anything new that come his way, making Snow to nod his head appreciatively.
Ren, the servant that has been with Xen when he was still young, and became the Regent King has always stayed by Xen side no matter what happened.
Too bad, Snow doesn't fully trust anyone at the moment aside from the two people that he can trust for now.
He need more allies to use while removing enemies at the same time.
Fortunately, along side his Appraisal skill that can let him know who can be trusted, who was still acting neutral in their fighting, who he can use on his plan and throw away, Snow has certain families and persons on his mind, thanks to the supposed future that happened when Xen has died.
But for now, as a body suddenly ram over his, thin arms wrapped around his waist and a face press over his shoulder, Snow can only sighed before wrapping his own arm around the young Emperor.
"Alright, Imperial Uncle is still here with you."
The original Xen has taken care of the young Emperor really well but it was too much from what Snow can see at the moment.
Rong Nie need to be more independent, and Snow has seen a glimpse of Nie capabilities in the supposed future after Xen has died.
This child who is currently acting a child his age should be and showing affection can be a ruthless, callous and cruel person despite his young ages.
After Xen has died, the Young Emperor was able to live more than a year without the original Xen help after all and that take skill and ability to do it.
Little Nie was cruel and ruthless enough that he was able to leave a deep damage in the Dynasty as his last attempt before he totally lost the fight and has gotten himself killed.
A Carnage and Massacre, that was what the young Rong Nie has done after Xen has died. He knew that he didn't have any chance to win the battle anymore, knowing that he will die and the Dynasty that his family has been protecting will be given to others was enough for him to truly has loosen his restraint.
The Last Rong Royalty was called and remember as the Mad Emperor throughout the years that he has been dead by the people in the Dynasty.
The skills and abilities that he has in governing the land, he has use it to cause more damage to his enemies even at the cost of the despair of his people.
He has been sad, lonely and trap with the one family he has only left trying to kill him that all he can think of was taking along his enemies with him while he was still alive, causing enough damage and destruction in order to leave them numerous problem when they finally got the throne after killing him.
It was completely a disaster but Rong Nie has been still young after all despite how talented he was that he was finally been struck to kill by one of his servant which has been bought over by the Wang Family.
"Imperial Uncle... I'm glad that you came back safe..." whisper the Young Emperor causing Snow to inwardly sigh again, the kid is adorable and all but Snow will have to break this child and mold him to what he is supposed to be destined with.
Xen overprotective tendency has protected Nie really well but it also has been Nie restrained from what he was capable of doing, being a young age is no longer enough a reason for Snow to treat him the same way like Xen has did, because let face it, Nie is still the Emperor no matter what his age is and being overprotective isn't helping him at all.
It was Xen that has place that restrained unconsciously and now that Snow is the current Xen, it was time for him to release Nie full capability and using it in a right way is what he needed to do at the moment.
There is a reason why the World Rule see Rong Nie as a special being, because Nie is born and destined with greatness into this world, a destined Ruler of the land.
And Snow is going to make sure that in this timeline, Nie will be what he is meant to be.
Amber eyes then swiftly stare at the Young Emperor on his arms, mind flashing ideas about what the best effective way to mold the child in his arms into the best thing he could think of that won't fully damage him.
"Little Nie... Imperial Uncle has something to tell you."
Snow said in a serious voice, face grim as he face the now attentive Emperor which is looking at him with that wide red eyes of his, looking so innocent that he felt like stopping but didn't, it was needed to happen after all.
"I'll finally tell you everything I know."
Now then, let release the potential of our Young Emperor and this time, it will be use in the right way.
And as Snow watch the disappearing back of the Young Emperor, looking exactly the same as he has always been when they met a few hours ago, but with an entirely different air around him, then Snow can only sigh again because here is a child that remind himself of his past experience before.
There are always those who's age may be young but has to grow up far more faster than anyone else because of certain circumstances that happen in their life.
Somehow, this event just lead Snow to be really determined completely to finish this mission of his.
"Flake is cheering for you Snow!"
Snow smiled at the comforting words of Flake, finger poking the twirling Flake in the air, smiling wider when he heard Flake squeal.
At least, Flake will be with him throughout this adventure of his, in every world that he will be travelling and he will not be alone.
.
"Cough... cough..."
Snow could only blink as he cover his mouth with his long sleeves, his body felt so heavy while feeling weary at the same time.
Staying all night long, working hard and studying different type of mystic Arts passes in their Royal families which the Original Xen didn't have the enough time to study before because of his responsibilities.
Oh, Snow still govern the courts matter but he has given most of the worked to the Young Emperor, believing his abilities while letting Flake monitor what Nie was doing and letting him know if something was wrong.
Snow is grooming the Young Emperor more faster than what the original Xen has done, he can no longer be doing all the work and has to give the Young Emperor more responsibilities at the moment because all of this are their fight and not only his, something that the original Xen has completely forgotten.
"Cough... cough..." Snow sighed before reaching out and taking a sip of his currently cold tea, ignoring the snacks at the same time since he has been not having enough appetite to even eat his foods this past few days, although he really miss Li Chen food, the man knew how to cook.
The poison he has taken really has make his body far more weaker, but Snow knew that he needed to drink that poison even if it makes him feel vulnerable.
Sometimes sacrifice has to be made, and at the moment Snow needed all the time he could get and if by drinking that poison is enough to not give any indication to his enemies that Snow was really losing their fight then Snow will take that poison without hesitation.
Right now, in their fight, Snow needed more time and when he make his move, it has to be a strong one.
And even if he has to make a move, he has to do it well enough that his enemies will not get suspicious and make them think that he has nothing to do with it.
"Your highness, its time."
Snow turned around and glance at the currently kneeling person before him, it was one of his hidden shadow, someone who was trained and brainwash to be loyal and devoted toward him and the Young Emperor.
The most loyal servants of the Royal families which the Queen Mother doesn't have any handle of, at least the late Emperor was not smitten enough toward the Queen Mother to has given her access on it.
But the people that he has is not enough, the other enemy side at least has slightly more people, specially with the military power in their hands.
"Leave."
Snow wave his hand, dismissing the shadow person, before taking a break from reading the book on his hand, before lowering his head to cover his mouth as another cough wracked his body.
After coughing, Snow place the book on his desk before standing up and fixing his entirely black robe and extinguishing the candles in the entire room with a swish of his sleeves completely making the room entirely dark.
"Your highness?" an older man voice suddenly asked after seeing the entire room light off from the outside.
Snow glance, sensing the presence outside his room before walking entirely on the inner hall of his room, to where his bed was, "I am going to rest. You may leave now Ren and Do not disturb me."
"Yes, your highness! This humble servant will follow your order."
After sensing Ren is truly gone, "Come." Snow quietly said and another Shadow appear before him.
Then, Snow has taken out a peace of paper with mystic rune written on it, before reaching out to the other person robe and opening it enough that his chest is out in the open, his hand placing the now glowing paper on the man chest which immediately seemed to have enter the man body.
Amber eyes remaining calm and indifferent with all the thing he just did, specially when a real man has just shown his naked chest, it was so completely different from how he react regarding Li Chen.contemporary romance
Only those people that Snow let on can only affect him entirely, others are something that he will never care about.
A second later, the man appearance entirely change and after a minute as Snow face the man before him, it was like he was now entirely looking into a mirror image of his.
Snow has use one of the complicated of the mystic arts that belong into the secret arts of their Royal family, which was to change a person appearance, which made it a hard thing to detect the person was a fake one even if another mystic art user was facing him.
"From now on, follow all of my instructions."
"Yes, your highness." the Shadow person bow, before immediately laying down on the bed and taking a rest.
This will make it more easier to hide, the original Xen has been so busy handling the responsibilities that he has been given and making sure that the his life and the Young Emperor are safe while watching the enemies that has been eyeing the throne that Xen was not able to truly practice more of the harder and complicated mystic arts in their Royal family as he focus more in surviving and a chance to defeat the people that want them dead.
Stretching his weary body, Snow left the Palace to handle a few more important and secret affairs for his plan in order to win the fight over their enemies.
.
.
A silver mask covering the entire face along with coat covering the person entire body could be seen standing on top of roof of a building in the afternoon and entirely hidden from everyone else.
"Flake learn that person will be staying in that mansion for a few days Snow." a childish but calm voice speak.
'Thanks Flake, you are the best." Snow reply in his mind, smiling at the currently happy Flake before him, despite it only being a duplicate of the original Flake which was still currently watching over the Young Emperor.
Yes, Snow has gotten more items and abilities in the Black Trade Shops from the past few days, after figuring out which is the convenient to have that he needed the most when traveling around the world.
Snow already decided to get more skills, the one in permanent, while he still has the unlimited amount and time in this first world of his.
It was better to be prepared and be ready than finding himself, needing a skill and items to help him get over a dangerous situation suddenly.
There is a high chance of having the repeat of being his life in danger when the first time that he came into this world again, facing an immediate danger and forcing him to buy an item which he could have just bought so easily in the world he was sent into rather than using the limited amount in shopping in the trade shop for the most important one for his missions.
And right now, Snow is currently using one of the item that he has bought which was a skill for Flake to use, a splitting copy or clone of his.
Flake already has the ability to spy without any worry of the people finding him out since it is one of his basic capabilities, and from what Snow has gotten for Flake was the ability to clone or make a copy of himself in order to follow different people around or get information in different locations since Flake can only have one body, and doesn't have the ability to split himself and spy to different places.
Snow isn't the only one that able to have the skills, he also can use it for Flakes.
And as he glance at the floating Flake before him, amber eyes couldn't help but narrow dangerously since the person that this Flake has to follow around is one of the person that has cause unconsciously and consciously to make Rong Xen and Rong Nie life disastrous.
The person who affected the Original Xen emotionally than anyone else.
The catalyst in the supposed Future that has broken what was supposed to happen.
And as Snow arrive his destination and watching as a white hair and blue eyes mesmerizing person gently play with a 3 year old male child, he couldn't help but conjure about one of the important detail about relating the existence that he might meet during the time that he is in a mission world.
There are special existence which was able to change a person and entire world future and destiny, either for good or for bad and as Snow stare at the person with a red flower mark on his forehead this person is one of them.
Base on the information that he receives in the suppose future, this person came from another world, a planet called Earth which is the same Earth but an entirely different world that Li Chen has came from.
Wei Zhou, an ordinary young man that died but transmigrate in the body of Xiao Feiyu which is the youngest child of one of the four most influential family in the Rong Dynasty.
