Chapter 9
I picked up the habit of early-rising since I’ve been spending the majority of my time in the army . Therefore I was wandering in the garden of emptiness before everyone else was asleep .

I was fond of morning sunshine for its lack of dazzle and the additional fresh air .
The air, yes, sweet air, tempting me . I sniffed greedily . The freshness swirled in my lungs then pa.s.sed onto my brain and limbs . I could feel my body turned lighter . What a perfect morning .
If only I didn’t sleep in the study last night, it would’ve been a brilliant start of the day . What was I thinking?
“Cohen!”
I discovered the king who I devoted my ligeance to . He was aglow .
“Good morning to you, my king . ” I greeted Fischer faintly, and found myself a stair to sit .
“Are you alright?” Fischer let his guards secure the perimeter and sat beside me, “Are you angry at someone?”
“For G.o.d sake, Fischer, this is not my angry face . This viceroy is concerning the empire and its people . Am I great?” I rolled my eyes at him, joked, “And what brought you up this early?”
“Me?” Fischer smiled weakly, “Because I felt the happiness . ”
“Ewwww! Gooseb.u.mps!” I used my arms to hug myself, pretending to be jealous .
“Come on, don’t blame me for you sleeping in the study, nor did I ask you to walk in the garden with your armor on . Blame yourself . ”
“Is it too late to say I was jealous?”
“You have every right to be . ” Fischer praised, “If you’re jealous, that means I’m happy . ”

Fischer laughed 3 times to the sky, then hugged my shoulders, “Cohen, thank you . ”
“For what?”
“Anything, can’t you let me say thank you?” Fischer tightened his arm, “Thank you for everything you’ve done . If it weren’t for you, I don’t even know what my life would’ve become . ”
“Mark it in your brain . ” I nodded, “Well, I prefer cash if you ever wanna return the favor . ”
“p.i.s.s off . ” Fischer kicked my b.u.t.t, “Walk with me . Quit sitting there . It’s freaking early in the morning . ”
Therefore the two of us started strolling, shoulder to shoulder, talking about the war .
“If, I said if, the rebels were defeated . What’s your plan?” Fischer asked faintly .
“I…” I thought, “I’m gonna let the 3 cardinals pay, I wanna…”
“Cohen, I mean if the rebels were exterminated . Every single enemy was destroyed . ” Fischer interrupted, “What would you do next?”
“What should I do? How could I know?” I continued thinking, “Or first I should fight for my right to sleep in the bedroom with my wives . ”
“Count as one, what else?”
“Then leave all that Dark City s.h.i.t to my father . ” I replied thoughtfully, “Take my girls out, anywhere they wanna go . I’ll be mad if I am a viceroy forever . ”
“Huh, you be mad immediately if your old man heard what you said . ” Fischer chuckled, “Well, care to hear my plan?”

I nodded .
Fischer gazed at me with his sincere eyes, “Okay, when you and your wives skipped your duties and travel, would you mind bringing 2 extra pa.s.sengers?”
I gazed back, also with my sincere eyes, “Like… who?”
“You know, Cohen, I admire you for being a smart a.s.s . ” Fischer hesitated, “These 2 being me and another lady . ”
“That is not a problem . ” I said mysteriously, “But the money’s on you . ”
Fischer nodded, “okay, Cohen, I think I’m gonna talk to your father about one of your dreams . ”
“Never mind . We’ll split the expenses, half and half . ” I quickly put on an obsequious face, “That works for you?”
“Nope, I’m not paying a penny . ” Fischer grew intoxicated, “Because I’m your king . ”
“Oh! Roger that, Your Majesty . I’ll solve the money problem . ” I humph-ed, “So my king, how did you feel the happiness this early in the morning?”
“What?” Fischer smiled, “I have a date with a lady in this garden . I think she wants to make a lei for me . ”
Next Fischer was confused with the shaking of my head .
“I’m afraid you might expect the lei a while later because you’ll have to audience a group of ladies you invited . ” I saw the officer who was in charge of guarding the fleet carrying the n.o.bility ladies, he was coming for me .
“Why does it have to be me?”
“Haha, why not . ” Now I was intoxicated, “Because you’re my king . ”

The officer came by my side, telling me the fleet was waiting by the gate . Although Fischer was reluctant to go, he had to .
I was beyond joyful . Laughed, I turned my body, only to find 5 angry ladies with flowers in their hands .
“Good morning, princess, my ladies!” I put away the laughter, “I know I’m particularly handsome today, but don’t look at me like that . ”
Carey approached and she was not friendly .
“Carey, that was only a joke . ”
“A few days earlier, Winterhard sabotaged the king’s alone time with Bernie, now you! Why did you have to do it!?” Carey wouldn’t want to let me get away .
“Come on, Carey, it’s just a little while, then he’ll be back . ” I was so wronged, “It’s the king’s job to see the n.o.bility ladies first . I can’t help him with that . ”
Having said that, I began striding to the gate, thinking I’d give back Fischer’s time with the princess . Striding as I thought about the war .
However, a shrilling alert from the gate pierces my ears, then several earth-shattering bangs .
(My gosh, Fischer is at the gate NOW!)
Without hesitation, I quickened my steps .
“Sir, weapon!” Malphite picked up his pace and tossed my black blade .
“Seal the city gate!” Unknown to what happened, I shouted orders to a guard near me, “Guards, protect the mansion . IGT a.s.semble at the front door!”
“Yes, sir!
(Fischer, don’t!)
When I rushed to the front square of my mansion, I was stunned to see the destruction of the front door of my home . I was left with a gigantic mess: dark gas and smoke filled the air . Dozens of guards’ bodies scattered in blood . The n.o.bility ladies’ carriages had only frames left .
A giant white light ball was moving quickly not far from me as several fragmentary guards were tossed from it .
I roared, eyes reddened .
“FISCHER! WHERE’S FISCHER!!?”
Blade out, howled, I charged forward . However, like crashing into an invisible wall, my body was forced back to the ground . The wall paralyzed my limbs at the same time .
The giant ball began spinning . It moved along the main road as it speeded up, more soldiers were grinded into a mista of blood .
I slowly regained control of my body before my father’s voice came from behind, “What happened?”
“I don’t know . ” I was in a state of utter stupefaction, “Fischer’s missing . ”
“Sir, 6 masked men have kidnapped His Majesty, heading south!” A guard came running to me from a distance .
I dazed then tried to talk to my father before Malphite, who stood beside, roared . The next moment, he threw his dagger at me .
Nearly instinctively, I dodged the dagger . It brushed against my ears and stuck into the earlier guard’s head .
Blood splashed, he fell and died .
A sharp blade was firmly holding in his hand .
