Chapter 1793: The True Ruler

?

Because if Death Monarch really wanted to give her the ultimate power, he would not have told Sina and the others.

Which means, the will of Death Monarch is uncertain.

If Death Monarch wanted him to give all the secrets of the Palace to Sina, Death Monarch would have told him

That would be unconditional trust.

There is many things in the Palace that is quite magical.

There is the Anywhere Room.

And that is just an open secret.

There is many secret passage and even portals to another world that is in the Palace that most people would not know and have no way of knowing.,

And the only one that knows all of this secret is Lukas.

Since Death Monarch did not tell him to surrender to Sasha, he knows Death Monarch is still his lord and there is no need in placing bets.

In the end, Sasha is like Loki. A regent. And this did not change Lukas allegiance at all so from the beginning, he treated Sasha with respect but not complete obedience.

This is why he is still a force to reckon with inside the Palace.

Lukas knows more than others that he should not easily gauge the intention of their lord. Not because he didn't want to but because it isn't just possible.

These people, these beings are people who walk through time, speaks through mind, communicate through dreams and goes to another world as easily as breathing, uses their eyes to see the past, present and future like it is some kind of movie

To understand the thoughts of these people you at least have to stand on the same peak that they are standing on.

If you do not, you would not understand their line of thought and the reason why they do certain things.

Since Lukas did not stand on that same peak, he did not overestimate himself and he did not try to understand too much about their lord or gauge his intention

And it is this quality that made him endearing to the lord

Azief did not know what Lukas is thinking. He simply waves his hand and conjure up a chai made of energy.

He sat down and look at the window nearby. He blows some air from his mouth and the window burst open.

"The wind from this height is not that strong. A stabilizer installed on the side?" "Yes, my lord"

Lukas did not dare to sit down as he is just standing there.

Azief on the other hand, look at the clouds and the birds that flies outside the window

His eyes seems to be looking further away than just looking at the clouds.

Instead, he is looking through past the barrier of the Turbulent Sea and tries to look further but then he sighed.

He then look back at Lukas.

Lukas did not know what Death Monarch is trying to do or what he is looking at, but knowing Death Monarch what he sees might be something he could never imagine

Gods and deities, he thought in his heart.

He could not understand these beings. So, there is silence. And Lukas dare not break this silence. He waited for a question

"What do you think of Sasha?" Azief suddenly ask.

The question he ask seems very casual.

But Lukas knows even though there is no indication of anger or joy, who knows what Death Monarch is thinking right now

Is he satisfied with Sasha doing her job for these past twenty years or is he dissatisfied? Is he angry, or is he proud?

The tone seems so casual but the question is a heavy question.

Even though twenty years had passed, new heroes appears, new villains appears, the world power situation changes, the world still has the awe toward Death Monarch

Twenty years had passed by and since then only a few people is about to break through to Divine Comprehension level.

These new people could not hold a candle to Death Monarch strength. Twenty years should have changed many things

But for Lukas who has spent twenty more years in Pandemonium, twenty more years in the Palace, nothing has changed for him

Death Monarch is still the strongest person in the world and Pandemonium is still the number one world power.

Hence, even after twenty years, even if he did not do anything wrong, just a simple question from Death Monarch make him think intensively whether Death Monarch has some different meaning that he does not understand or whether there is some meaning he should understood.

He decided to be conservative with his answer.

"My lord, I am just the Head Keeper of the Palace. There is many more qualified person to answer this question. There is many officials that deals with Lady Sasha. Certainly, many of them would have more detailed description and understanding of the work that Lady Sasha has done for the sake of Pandemonium"

Azief only smiles listening at this.

"Maybe.....but I want to listen to your thoughts about her. What are the thoughts of the head Keeper of this palace about her? Is she good to the people? Did she maintain the peace? Is she greedy for wealth, fame and power? What do you think of her?"

If the question before is quite general, this time, Death Monarch question become even more obvious and more terrifying than before

He touches the specific. And Lukas could hear a tint of annoyance in the response. And it should be his turn to recommend people to ask.

He ask, and he should answer. His plan of staying out of this muddied water instead put him into hot water.

Lukas quickly prostrate before Death Monarch, his head smash toward the marble tile.

BOOM!

The marble tile broke. But his head is not broken or bleeding but there is a bit of dent on his

forehead.

But Azief did not even look at Lukas. He is simply looking at the clouds outside the window

like the sound of the marble tile breaking could not be heard.

"I do not know anything my lord" Lukas knows this is a lose-lose situation for him.

Death Monarch did not understand. But he himself understood himself.

And what he would position he would be putting himself afterwards if news spread that Death

Monarch ask him this question

And dare answer

Azief however did not seem to see this.

He did not hear a thing, did not see a thing

Instead, he seems to be looking occasionally at the windows and looking at the moving clouds

outside the window

"There is no need for such dramatic kneeling"

"And there is no need to smash your expensive tiles with your head"

Azief make a swirling motion with his index finger and a force push Lukas back to standing

position.

Lukas look at Death Monarch and knows that Death Monarch would not let him go until he answers his question

'Lady Sasha is conscientious in her duty. She managed the palace well, the law are in order, the world is peaceful, the business is prosperous"

"Hahaha!" hearing this Azief could not help but laugh and then he look at Lukas with a smile

"You really know how to flatter people, don't you? It is almost like you are a eunuch!"

Even though Azief said it with a laugh, a smile on his face how could he not know that Death Monarch is not happy at all listening to his answer?

"Then why are my generals are camping out in the capital?"

"There is no need to test my attitude. Just say it. I am not protecting Sasha this time" Azief

seems to know what Lukas is worried about and simply pierce through the situation with that

word.

Lukas was silent for a second before he said

"The people that she protects is the people of the Capital"

"She did not change much and that alone is a virtue. She knows that the people of

Pandemonium has their own rules and their own way"

"Unless thing reach to a point of no return, the government would not interfere. Pandemonium is large even before the expansion of the world"

"Now, it is even larger. The Three Great Generals guard the regions and have military power.

It is independent and does not listen the central authority. When my lord are here, all the

people of the world listen to my lord words and their deeds follows my lord hearts. "Now, that my lord are not here, there is sign of Pandemonium splitting apart. The orthodoxy of the world would be lost and so Lady Sasha tries to regain the authority of the central

government"

"Will they rebel if I am not here?" Lukas thinks for a moment and then shakes his head

"They will not" However, Lukas added

"But just because they would not rebel, does not mean the people below them would not rebel. Just because the people below them would not rebel, does not mean that their descendant would not rebel. Lady Sasha simply wanted to nip the bud. Since she has the power, and the authority and even the means, she wanted to solve this problem for my lord"

"So, you're saying that she dirtied her hands, so that I would not?"

"I believe that is her intention"

He sighed and shakes her head
