Realms In The Firmament

The men who stood in rows seemed to be used to this. They didn’t even blink when the colorful lights dazzled in the main hall. They all bowed and said, ”Saint Queen, your majesty.”

The man who was sitting in the highest position and wearing a purple robe frowned. He looked at the lady and spoke in annoyance, ”Saint Queen, we are in the middle of an important meeting. Why did you suddenly barge in? Can’t you talk later after the meeting?”

The lady looked pretty anxious. She said, ”Guys, stand up. This is an emergency. I have to talk to the king right now. I apologize for my recklessness.”

While she was talking, she walked fast over that man in a purple robe. Apparently, she completely ignored the man’s questions.

Nobody dared to take the apology from the Saint Queen. They were all surprised though. [What is going on? Saint Queen is always calm and steady. What is it that made our queen anxious like this?]

The man in purple robe frowned and blandly asked, ”What is so urgent?”

Saint Queen didn’t hesitate. She just walked to the man in the purple robe and spoke in a low voice, ”Unrest of bloodline. The fire has risen. I feel distracted… It seems… Yue-er has awaken in advance…”

”What? What did you say?”

The face of the man in purple robe suddenly turned dark as he stood up from his throne.

He was about two meters tall with a big muscular waist. Although he just casually stood there, it seemed he was stepping on the entire universe under his feet!

It was the natural dignified manner of a king!

This king looked solemn at the moment. ”Are you sure? Are you really sure?”

He sounded anxious, stunned, and worried.

Saint Queen nodded and said, ”Why do you think I would come to the court like this? Just open the Nirvana Hall and let’s see what is happening there. This is so important. We can’t be careless.”

The man answered, ”Fine… Ok…”

The king who was ruling a world in this universe was apparently lost. He had no idea what to do anymore.

He walked down the throne to the door and said, ”Guys, you should go on the discussion… Think about how we could defeat that man and that man… I am afraid I have to go for now… No need for formality now, guys…”

Before he finished, he had already left the hall. Saint Queen had also become a cloud of colorful lights following the king out.

The men in the court looked at each other and didn’t know what was going on.

[What is it? What on earth happened? Why would the Saint King and Saint Queen leave so hastily?]

[Neither Saint King nor Saint Queen is here! How do we go on the discussion without them? That man and that man… Those are two figures that we can’t easily take down! We need Saint King’s order and a bunch of capable men!]

However, their king and queen were leaving so urgently. Nobody dared to stop them.

Whoever dared to stop them might get themselves burned into ashes.

That would be suicide!

”According to what the Saint Queen said… It seems... something went wrong… about our little princess...” Under the throne on the left side, an old man whose hair and beard were all white still looked energetic. He confusedly said, ”It doesn’t make sense… It has only been a few years… It is still too early now, isn’t it?”

The faces of the men in the hall had turned sullen.

[If it is about the princess, it is reasonable for the king and the queen to be anxious like that!]

”But… She has the Nirvana Fortune. As long as she stays away from human affection, nothing could possibly distract her mind! That is weird. Could it be…” The old man was lost in thoughts.

Another old man who was on the right side suddenly said in a deep voice, ”Prime Minister Wen, you are not having that thought, are you? That is not what you should have in mind.”

Prime Minister Wen raised his one meter long white eyebrows and said blandly, ”General Wu, what I should have in mind is not your decision to make. Even if I shouldn’t think of that, should you?”

General Wu coldly said, ”The princess was engaged with my son. The king made a promise. It certainly is something I should consider about.”

Prime Minister Wen sneered, ”Nonsense! When the king and I became sworn brothers, we made a promise. Our sons will be brothers, daughters will be sisters, and son and daughter will be husband and wife… General Wu, I think you should stop that stupid idea. Don’t you believe the story you made up…”

General Wu’s face turned purple because of anger. He said, ”What you said, it happened centuries ago! How could you still talk about something that should be rotten in the history!”

Prime Minister Wen blandly said, ”Well, the promise you said, isn’t it something rotten in the history? Do you think it is going to happen tomorrow or something?”

The two of them were having a conflict. It seemed things were going more and more dangerous. The others hurriedly stepped ahead to talk them off. After a while, they both humphed and sat back on their own seats.

The others all felt that it was quite embarrassing.

The princess wasn’t back from the lower realm yet, and the two young men weren’t in the court. The two old men actually nearly started a fight because of something among the three youngsters…

However, the king was the person to be blamed. The king always wanted a daughter. Thousands of years earlier before he had one, he always made the same promises to his people…

”Look, if I have a daughter, I will let her marry your child…”

”Brother, if I have a daughter…”

”Brother, your kid is so smart and lovely. I like him. If I have a daughter…”

People knew that he didn’t have a daughter at that time, so nobody took it seriously… How many people did the king make the same promise to?

When the king finally had a daughter, people started to take it seriously.

Prime Minister Wen and General Wu were not the only two. However, the others didn’t dare to act against these two.

What was troubling these men now was the same question. [What is happening to our little princess? Why are the king and the queen so hurried?]

…

On the other side, in a place where there was full of colorful flames.

The king and the queen rushed over and barged into the place. When the two of them walked into that place, the colorful flames automatically moved aside and made a path for them.

It was a palace that was made by glazed tiles. It was shining with splendid and marvelous lights.

The two of them reached the entrance, but they didn’t stop. They directly rushed into the palace.
