Chapter 961

(Unedited)



Shin Jiao left the Hong estate after turning a part of it into ruins. Many of their guards have fallen by his hands and this has caused the Hong noble house to start feeling the pressure from him. The destruction he caused in the Hong noble house estate would surely cause a huge commotion once again in the capital city.

Inside a particular building in the Hong estate, a beautiful middle-aged woman is looking at the ruins and the burning buildings.

"Hong Fao… This is what you get for being too arrogant. You want to drag our noble house down because of your useless son and your useless pride? You're just a fool. Once father finished his meditation, then you will surely suffer… Hihi…" the middle-aged woman said with a sinister gaze in her eyes.

"If that happens, then my husband could have a chance to get the position of the patriarch, and me… I will be the madam of the Hong noble house… Madam Gi Yaolan… That has a good ring to it…"

The whole estate is in chaos as the Hong family servants began to put off the fire and rescue the survivors.

This scene has truly made those onlookers feel fear in their hearts. And true to Shin Jiao's conjecture, this has already caused the noble houses to stop pestering Shin Jiao.

The palace

"You have truly caused much chaos… I never would have expected that the noble houses would suffer such an event… But I guess, this would teach them a lesson on humility and what excessive power and haughtiness could end up to." The king said with a slight smirk on his face.

"Anyway, I would like you to meet someone." The king said as he waves his hand.

Shin Jiao who is standing on the side has already known this and that he has already know that the king is going to introduce him to someone.

Outside the door stood a tall and handsome man with red hair and green eyes. His regal appearance almost looks exactly like the king.

The king himself has deep auburn hair and green eyes which are almost like that of the 1st prince. If the king is in his younger years, he would probably look exactly like this son of his.

As the young man enters the hall, Shin Jiao turns to look at him. With a slight nod of his head, he greeted.

"Greetings, 1st prince…"

However, the casual greeting from Shin Jiao made the first prince frown. His face is plastered with dissatisfaction while he scrutinizes the young man in front of him. The first prince heard from his father that he is going to introduce someone who is very important and is very powerful. But seeing the young man in front of him, he felt that the expectation in his heart turned cold.

"Did father become senile that he is easily conned by such a young man?" the 1st prince thought.

"Son, this is Si Ji… Si Ji, this is my first son, the 1st prince, Vorn Grav…" the king introduces with a big smile on his face.

Out of all his sons, he favors only three of them in his heart. His first son, Vorn Grav, his 5th son, Ginlong Grav, and the last is the 12th prince, Gulliver Astride, which he has already considered as his own.

These three sons of his which he favored in his heart have different personalities, but as a father, he grew fond of those three as they always show outstanding performance for the kingdom. Even though his son, Ginlong was considered ordinary by the people, he knew that he is someone who works in the background.

Those very helpful advanced potions he made were not known to many, but he knew that it was his son who made them.

And his son Ginlong made another contribution by being a friend to this guy here, Si Ji.

He thought that Si Ji approached him because of his son as they are schoolmates in the Alto Magus Academy.

"Father… I still have something to do. I will let my 12th brother entertain your guest." The 1st prince, Vorn Grav, showed a hint of dissatisfaction in his face as he turns around and left.

At this time, the person behind him appears and it's Gulliver Astride.

Shin Jiao could vaguely remember this prince, as he has no interaction with him. But upon seeing him right now, he thought that this person is a bit more similar to the king's cousin, Lamier Grav.

"Your majesty…" Gulliver Astride kneels on one knee and greeted the king.

"Hmm… Your brother still has his temper. I hope that he could overcome that… He should be someone like you who is always calm and collected." King Grav said while waving his hand.

"I missed you… my son." The king said as he opened his arms to hug the 12th prince.

With a slight smile on his face, Gulliver came closer to the king and hugs him like his own father.

The king has thoroughly treated him kindly and he has always looked up to the king ever since he was a young boy entering the palace.

If not for the succession right being chaotic, he would rather stay in the palace and be with the king to be his helper. But Gulliver could not do that, he instead thought that by helping the kingdom solve its issues, he can be of much use to the king. Hence he decided to travel all over the place.

"Father…"

After the king's seemingly teary eye looks at the handsome and valiant young man in front of him, he patted his shoulders and then turn to Shin Jiao.

"This is Si Ji…" the king introduced.

When Gulliver Astride heard that name his figure seems to have frozen a bit. How could he not know that name?

However, since the noble houses cause a commotion his tranquil life was disturbed and he was once again thrown into this mess.

And all of that is because of this young man named Si Ji.

Because he killed a few of those young masters from the noble houses he offended them and they are trying to retaliate. However, even after using the power of the court and the army, they are still unable to capture this guy.

Now that he is seeing this guy inside the palace, it seems that his foster father is involved in this mess somehow.

"12th prince…" Shin Jiao nodded his head.

The king did not bother with the attitude of the 1st prince as the three enters the palace grounds to the gardens.

At this time, in the gardens, Gwendolyn Grav is currently sitting with her sisters while having tea. The lively atmosphere caught the attention of the three as they walk closer.

"I never would have expected my daughters to be in this place…" King Grav said while greeting everyone.

"Father!"

"Father!"

"Father!"

All of the princesses greeted the king as they excitedly curtsied in front of him. 

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao would nod his head accordingly along with Gulliver.

After all the princesses greeted the king, King Grav showed a pleased look in his eyes. All of his daughters are very beautiful and gentle looking, so he is pleased.

But one of his daughters has a look of indifference in her eyes which made him feel a bit guilty. Out of all his daughters, he would say that he has been a bad father towards her.

He has been forcing her to work for the kingdom in the war. She has seen too much bloodshed and horror that would make a normal girl have nightmares their entire life. He has made her into a weapon for his people.

As a father, he is really sorry towards her and wanted to console her. But as a king, he knew that he did the right thing. To win the war, he made a lot of sacrifices, and part of those sacrifices is his heart towards his daughter as he neglected his duty as her father.

The king, Shin Jiao, and Gulliver walk to the other side of the garden and began to have a discussion.

While this is happening, Shin Jiao could feel someone looking at him. So he suddenly turns in that direction. From where he sits, he caught Gwendolyn looking at him with a hint of deep thinking.

She was thinking that the young man looks familiar somehow but she could not put her mind to it. So she began observing his face which looks very handsome, so she was a bit distracted. However, somehow she could vaguely feel that she knew this guy from somewhere.

When she saw him looking at her, she was a bit startled. Then suddenly he smiled which made Gwendolyn feel the resemblance of such smile to someone she knew. That's why she suddenly froze on the spot.
