Chapter 562 559:A Glimpse Of Future And Past 2
?
A bluish light flickered and the boy appeared in a darkish underground space devoid of any light.Looking around the desolate space,he stood up glancing at the grand mausoleum.
It was filled with graves and erect monuments beside it with few key notes on it.This was a place of internal rest for the Imperials.
He had been here during the founding ceremony when he was fifth.After,he was not called for any receptions or ceremonies except for the funeral of his mother.
Looking around, he stood before his mother's grave.Joining his hand, he kneeled down bowing to her mother and praying for her peace in the afterlife.
"Mother, I hope you forgive this worthless son of yours who is the reason behind your doom."
Even if his relationship with his mother was not great, he can't blame her for all this.He was just a nuisance which took away everything from his mother.
Sometimes, he even thought of killing himself to stop himself from suffering any further but he was too gutless to do this.His courage falters, everytime he held a knife.
Finding his way, he looked for the founding Emperor grave which was at the far end of the mausoleum.
Standing before a huge erect statue and small housed structure, he pondered for a moment.
''Charsi said about the portal but how will I make it appear?"The boy muttered to himself.
Walking to and fro, he walked nearer and admired the statute.
The expression of the statue was calm and filled with kindness but it can't hide the fierceness in his eyes.
"What a marvellous sculpture?How did one make this?"
"It looks like it was crafted by a godly artist."
He muttered, touching the statue.
Swisssshhh!
Strong winds blew suddenly, taking him by surprise.
A swirling vortex appeared before him emitting a dense cold mana.
"Is this the porta Charis referred tol?"The boy murmured with a surprised expression.
He glanced at it cautiously, wondering if he encountered any trouble inside.
Before entering, he took a peek around cautiously.Feeling no one, he stepped inside..
His vision suddenly became dim and his senses dwindled causing him to stumble and fall on the ground as if he had lost his strength.
He felt as if he had been whacked by something on his head.
Laying there for an unknown period of time, he blinked and rubbed his eyes.
A grand structure appeared in his eyes.
A huge castle, probably as big as the Imperial Castle, stood before him.Behind him a vast land extended for an indefinite period of time.
Looking up, his eyes met vast purple sky.Gentle winds caressed his cheek as he got up.
Dusting his robes, he walked forward with a lonely gaze.Various thoughts overlapped in his mind.
Clenching his teeth, he promised himself to make use of the opportunity bestowed to him at the cost of his servant's life.
"I should first look around and familiarise myself with the area."
Planning about his next move, he toured the place.
He strolled inside the castle.
The garden was unkempt and the lower part of the castle was filled with overgrown weeds and vines.
Searching every nook and cranny, he arrived at the end of the castle which emitted a suffocating pressure.
"What is in here?"
His curiosity was piqued as even as unawakened he could feel a dense amount of mana clashing against him.
Entering the place, his body felt heavy and his steps slowed down.
At the inner courtyard, which seemed to be decorated with several runes, he found a coffin in the middle of the place.
Several flags were erected around it.
"Is this the founding Emperor?"
His eyes glistened for a moment, and as he made his way, his heart thumped and started to bead wildly.
GULP!
Swallowing his saliva, he looked at the coffin which did not have a lid.
A woman frozen in a block of ice and seemed to be slumbering in it.
She had exquisite and delicate features.Coupled with her snow white skin and voluptuous body, she looked like something coming straight out of the fairytail.
Even those who had seen a large number of beauties in the palace were flabbergasted by seeing her.
He felt a lump struck in his throat.
Unable to suppress his emotions, he extended his hand to touch the block of ice.
A chilly current coursed through his body making his mind numb but that wasn't enough to shake his head.
"Who is she and why is her corpse preserved here?"
"And just what technique is this?Her corpse is preserved in such a way that she doesn't look dead."
CRACK!
"Ahhhhh!"
He took back his hand on hearing a stifling sound.
The eyes inside the coffin opened wide, scaring the shit out of him , making him jump back in shock and panic.
The crack that appeared at the point where he touched expanded rapidly to the other part.Soon cracks appeared all over the metal slab.
CRACKLE!
With a cracking sound, the lady in the coffin stood up breaking through the layer of ice.
She turned her head and locked her eyes on the boy.
The boy almost wet his plants seeing the pair of dark crimson eyes glaring at him.There were no emotions in those gazes.
Her face was blank and she looked totally inhumane.
"Boyyyy!"
He jolted awake as he heard a soft tender voice filled with warmth in contrast to her eyes.
"Did you wake me up?"
"No...I mean yes..Probably...I am sorry."He apologised for his misconduct.
"What is your name?"
"Ke...Kevin...My name is Kevin."
"Kevin...Hmmmm.."
She pursed her lips and asked"How did you enter here?"
"I...I sneaked here to hide."
"Hide...why?"Her brows furrowed.
A suffocating pressure pressed him down.
Kevin did not know whether she was displeased or angered by his answer, and hit his head on the floor in fear.
A lady sleeping in an ice slab suddenly is not someone he can mess with.
"Please forgive me for the offence.Forgive, this ignorant one for waking you up."
"I don't have any option and I don't have a place I can return.My own parents are searching for a way to get rid of me.My servants sacrificed his life to send me here."
"If you forgive me and allow me to stay in the portal.I will not disturb.I will just live quietly and train and then leave."
Seemingly irked by something, her eyes changed.
Various emotions flashed in those emotions.
From anger, to surprise and shock followed by pity.
"It has been so long since I have been here.Since, I have disturbed, it would not be bad if there is someone to entertain me."
"You have piqued my interest, kid, why don't you tell me your story to clear away my boredom."
Kevin swallowed his saliva and followed the lady's will ,starting his narration.
...….
"Your Highness, we searched through the capital but we could not find the Sixth Prince."
"Your Highness, we find dead bodies of assassins and servants of the Sixth Prince.From the investigation, we can only make a guess.Either the assassins kidnapped him, clearing away the traces or his Highness escaped."
"Hmmm!"
A harsh voice echoed as the man heard the information from the night.
"Search for the assassins.Make a squad and place posters for the missing Prince.Try to find him no matter what."He spoke with a stern voice.
"Yes Your Highness!"
The knights bowed down and left.
After the knights departed, The Emperor waved his hand and a few shadows appeared.
"Search for him.I don't want that menace to return.Divert the Knight's attention.Also keep track of his each and every movements."
"As his father I can't kill himself with my own hands but at least borrow other hands to kill.It's good if that menace died."
The Emperor spoke emotionlessly.The Shadow guards just nodded and left.
...…..
In the Inner Palace.
CRACK!SHATTER!SHATTER!
Things were broken and scattered.
The servants tried to calm her down but in doing so all of them were hit by things thrown by her.
"Empress, please calm down.."
"Empress, anger is not good for your health.You will injure yourself."
"Shut up bitch!"She shouted and slapped the maid who came near her.
The maid spurting blood fell on the ground with a swollen cheek.
"How dare you?"
"Imprudent!"
"You dare to advise me.I am the Empress…"
"Guards take away these maids and throw them in the prison.Cut their tongues and gouge their eyes."
"Mercy!"
"Mercy!"
The girl pleaded but everything fell on deaf ears in the Empress.
After the maids were taken away by guards.
Deathly silent lingerie for a moment as the Empress stood accompanied by the Head maid.
She bit her lips and chewed her lips.
"I should have killed him.I should have taken harsh measures.If he returns and becomes stronger, he will surely become stronger."
"Empress, you need nor to worry about this."The Head spoke fearfully.
"Did you forget he had been crippled by poison.Moreover, his vessel was destroyed by the Imperial physician when he was young."
"I know still I have a bad feeling about this."The Empress spoke with a frown.
