Chapter 124: Trump card of the Golden orb kingdom

Evan did as her aunt instructed. He climbed the steps and reached the place near her throne. Brianna was looking at him with an angry glare.

There was an important discussion going on in the throne room but the discussion stopped due to the abrupt arrival of Evan.

Evan felt some scrutinizing gazes on him but he didn't mind any of the gazes at all. He raised his head and looked at the angry face of his aunt.

"Aunt, I am sorry", he spoke lightly as he looked at his aunt with clear eyes. He knew he didn't do anything wrong but it was still his fault to make her worry for him. "You are apologizing now! You think your wings become big enough that you can even act on your own", Brianna shouted with an angry and exasperated tone.

"Have you ever thought about the consequences? What would have happen to us if something would have gone wrong? I know you don't care about me. But have you ever thought your mother while acting recklessly", Brianna continued to chide Evan. There were ever two drops tear came out from her phoenix like eyes.

"Aunt, please don't cry", Evan felt flustered after seeing the teary eyes of Brianna. The last thing he wanted to see was his aunt or mother crying.

"Aunt, please. I am sorry. I admit I am rash this time. I will not act again before consulting you", he tried to coax her. 

It didn't take long for Brianna to calm down. She ordered for two chairs and Evan and Alice ended up sitting beside her in the throne room. 

The discussion resumed after Brianna calmed down. Evan silently listened to the affairs of the royal court. Most of them was about the sudden appearance of twelve Nascent soul realm experts in the Clear wind city. Evan observed the faces of everyone and found everyone trustworthy. 

Most of them had worried appearance but Brianna was clearly not anxious like them. Evan knew why was she not worried. It was because of the Law sea stage ancestor of the royal family but she couldn't leak it to anyone. So, she could only feign ignorance for the time being.

"Excuse me", suddenly the voice of Aaron came from the side. He was silent untill now but suddenly his words disturbed the ongoing discussion. He took out a a golden coloured paper and a panicked voice came from it. "General, there is a problem in our side. There are monsters coming out from the Golden orb kingdom side. From their look, we can confirm that they are lion man tribe from the west."

"Lion man tribe, monsters!", a surprised look appeared on the calm face of Evan. He was no stranger to the word 'monster'.

Monster was a vast term which was generally used by human race to degrade other races. Some even called their devil race as the leader of monsters.

Their Eternal moon empire was not only host to the devil race, there were other races living freely in the Eternal moon empire. There were centaurs, harpys, wolf man, Draconians, stone man and many other types of races who lived in the Eternal moon empire.

The human population looked at other races with scorn. No one knew how the mix type monsters came into being as they were the mixture of animals and humans.

Generally, it was impossible to have a offspring between animals and humans as their body structures were completely different to each other. It was impossible even after a magical beast attained a supreme realm and changed into human form.

But Evan had heard about an ancient myth. When an magical beast attained the legendary immortal realm, it could produce offsprings with human female. Their offsprings were the mixed monsters like lion man, wolf man and Draconians. Such races had human body structure but they had beastly appearance and abnormal physical strength of magical beasts.

"What is going on? Is not there a pact between those monsters and the Northpeak empire?", a official lost his calm after listening to the voice. "Minister Ryo, calm down. It is not necessarily a bad thing to us", Aaron Jadestar spoke with a smile.

"General Aaron, what are you talking about? How can those draided monsters are not a bad thing for our Thousand swords kingdom", the middle aged official named Ryo looked at Aaron Jadestar with a confusing look.

Aaron Jadestar didn't reply him immediately. He looked at an old man who was sitting just below the stairs that lead to throne. His position was even higher compared to general Aaron.

"Royal advisor, we want to hear your valuable opinion on this matter", he spoke with a respectful voice. The other officials who were rather confused by the statement of Aaron Jadestar looked at the calmly sitting old man for answer.

Evan could see interest and respect even in the eyes of his aunt. "Who is this royal advisor old man?", he thought to himself.

"Aaron brat is telling the truth. The monsters of the west are not necessarily a bad thing for us. Allowing them to battle with us means Golden orb kingdom is no longer wary of North peak kingdom. If any of you think deeply, you can say that their main target is never our Thousand swords kingdom. They are aiming for the position of the ruler of the north this time", the old man spoke slowly but he had a magical voice and calm demeanor which made everyone believes in his words.

Evan also felt convinced by the words of this wise old man. Taking the help of outsiders, it was clearly a blatant threat to the existence of the Northpeak empire. Evan could feel the wild ambition of Golden orb kingdom which they were preparing for centuries.

"One thing is certain. Another turmoil is coming to the peaceful northern territories. After analysing the yesterday report, one can tell that there are many parties involved in this conspiracy. I don't believe their only aim is to topple our kingdom. Twelve Nascent soul stage experts of different powers wouldn't unite if it is only our small kingdom. The addition of monsters of West is the proof of my claim. The Golden orb kingdom is planning something major this time", the old royal advisor explained in a slow yet steady manner.

"Then, what is your suggestion for this war?", Aaron Jadestar asked the royal advisor.

"Well, just continue to stall them. I don't believe they will waste their military strength on us", the old advisor replied immediately. The pupils of Aaron Jadestar glowed after he listened the planning of old royal advisor.

"Royal advisor is wise", he could only praise the old man after listening to such a good idea.
