The Blood Prince 4 Chapter 3

"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, THE DEMONS TOOK HIM" a handsome middle aged man yelled while throwing the gla.s.s in his hand towards a knight wearing golden armor, the knight hastily replied "im sorry your majesty, but the Empress ordered to remove the royal guards for the fourth prince" on hearing the knights respose the middle aged man became more angry and yelled "AM I THE EMPEROR OR HER, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GUARD HIM NOT LET HIM GET HURT" the man was exremely angry but someow he controlled himself and said "whats the response from the demon realm" to this question the knight became a bit fl.u.s.tered and said "IM SORRY YOUR MANJESTY , but it seems that the demon emperor knew about our spies and the last report we got was that the demon knigt of demon ream was on the move" .

The Emperor sighed and said "send a party of elite knights and apologise to Demon king for letting Ariel in danger and tell him it will never happen again and escort Ariel back safely" the knight got on his knee and replied "YES your majesty"

just as the knight was going to walk away the Emperor said "also ask the Empress to come to the throne room" after replying yes and bowing again the knight made his exit.

*Inside the Empress's chambers*

An extremely beautiful looking woman wearing a white gown mumbled angrily "Those fools could not even dispose of a scrawny brat, how am I going to deal with this now " she looked to her side and ordered "deal with those four morons and don't let anyone find out" a soft voice said, "yes, your highness".

A woman entered the chambers and bowed, the Empress asked "What is it" the woman replied "His majesty has ordered for your majesty's appearance in the throne room" the empress without saying anything got up and left the chambers.

*In the Throne room*

The empress arrived in the throne room and ignoring the Guardian knight walked to the Emperor and after slightly bowing his head said in a seductively charming voice "greetings to Your Majesty".

The Emperor frowned and asked "Evelyn Why did you order Ariels guard to be put off", she laughed and replied, "your majesty we all know that you hate him and always ignore him, that's why to save the extra manpower for something important i told the guards to go away".

The Emperor banged the throne and said "EVEN if i don't talk to him he's still a part of the royal family you can't just ignore his security like that, because of your acts his life was in danger and more importantly he's now in the demon territory with unknown status"

When the empress heard it she smiled in her heart but kept a straight face looked at the emperor lovingly and said "I am really sorry for my acts Harold but do you think I would try to harm him, even though i don't like him I won't stoop so low and try to kill him as it doesn't even benefit me in any way" The emperor's gaze softened and then he said "well leave it, for now, we need to escort him back from the demon realm and I hope that he's alright"

He then looked towards the knight and asked "Robin are the Knights tasked to escort Ariel ready" Robin looked up and replied"They shoul-" before he could finish his sentence 2 men ran into the court huffing and said "Sorry for the intrusion your majesty But a demon knight is flying towards the palace he's extremely powerful, the barrier could not stop him" The emperor looked up and before he could say anything the ceiling of the throne room was blasted and a man clad in a mixture of black and red armor with a sword landed in the center of the hall.

At the same time 2 old men appeared on the side of the Emperor, the emperor looked at them and said "Greetings esteemed imperial protectors" the two old men nodded then he looked towards the Demon knight and said "How dare you barge into my palace without permission, even if you are the Demon general i can kill you".

The Knight looked at him and said, "Little Harold even if you can kill me with the help of those old fogeys by your side it would result in the destruction of your capital and still it may not be certain that you can win, today I am here to pa.s.s on a message from My Master".

The Emperor replied "What is it that you want to say" the demon knight said in a loud voice "Listen well the emperor of Kai from now on young master Ariel will not be the 4th prince of kai, he will be the Crown prince of Azael, from today on he will no longer be a part of the kai royal family and you will not have a claim on him from now on. henceforth if you try to ever hurt him or send someone to hurt him it will be akin to declaring war on the Demon realm "

Yhe Emperor's temper flared up "INSOLENT" he yelled angrily and then he stood up and released his Saint aura but that did not even faze the demon knight, he said "Are you telling me that I THE HOLY EMPEROR OF KAI should leave my son in your hands, HOW DARE YOU"

The demon Knight said "It was an order from my master and seeing the young masters condition, you should be happy that he did not declare war against you, remember the last time he was attacked. You said you would take care of him, but he still got attacked and nearly lost his life. What do have to say for it"

The emperor said "He's my son and I have the full right to decide what he does and where he stays, return him or I will-" before the emperor could say anything the demon knight started floating in the air he then looked down at him said in a chilly voice "You seem to forget that the only reason the war ended was because our young lady was in love with you, now she's not here and the only reason master did not kill you was because young master Ariel was with you, but now he's with us where he righfully belongs and if you try to do anything, even if the other 3 holy emperors come to the rescue n.o.body will be able to save you and -" and then he released his aura, everyone's face went pale and everyone except the king and the 2 old men went on their knees, the emperor stuttered "De-de-deDEMIG.o.d leved" then the Demon continued "- your emipre will be gone like a speck of dust with the wind, so forget that you had a son named Ariel" and then he dissapeared.

as soon as he disappeared color came back to everyone's face, the Emperor screamed"AAAGHH ILL KILL YOU OLD b.a.s.t.a.r.d" the two old men to his side sighed and said, "Little Harold i think you should forget about that demon sp.a.w.n" the empress chimed in and said, "Yes your majesty I agree with the imperial protectors". The emperor then looked to the old man and said "Bu-" the other old man cut him off and said "We cannot go to war with them, leave it Harold" after saying that both of the disappeared.

The emperor looked frustrated but calmed himself down and said "Pa.s.s MY IMPERIAL DECREE TO EVERYONE THAT FROM TODAY ONWARD ARIEL IS EXPELLED FROM THE ROYAL FAMILY AND WILL BE SENT BACK TO THE DEMON REALM" the attendants bowed and left the hall. The emperor again ordered, "AND GET SOMEONE TO FIX THE ROOF".
