"Now that was quite distasteful."
Azrail spoke, looking at the knocked-out Ruibo on the ground, his words making Huifen flinch. The act of Ruibo trying to stand back again after Azrail placed him down, giving such a light punishment for his actions, was a slap to Azrail's face. Not many would object if Azrail took any drastic actions, thus, Huifen flinched, the fear of taking his wrong side being heavily present all around.
"If you didn't care for him, I might have done more."
Azrail replied, looking at Huifen, who blushed lightly at the words. Though her concerned gaze kept traveling towards the knocked-out Ruibo.
"Go help him, we can see ourselves out for the moment."
Azrail's words made Huifen flinch. She looked between Azrail and Ruibo, hesitation passing through her eyes as she finally spoke with a shake of her head.
"You asked me to lead you, Lord Azrail, and it's my responsibility to make sure you are well-kept within the palace."
A subtle smile came to Azrail's face at Ruibo's words, thus leading him to lightly ruffle Huifen's hair, making her eyes widen.
"Don't worry about it, just go and help your brother. I am sure my sister would do the same. Also, I would like to have you visit my home at times if you are ever free."The subtle hints at the last of his words to show his interest in strengthening the connection between the two of them, this making a shy smile come to Huifen's face. A touched expression crossed across her face for being understood, the help, gentleness, and understanding all being small killer things to this struggling little girl.
"Um... thank you."
With those last whispers and her face being filled with a blush, Huifen ran towards her brother, trying to help him up and take care of him. In retrospect, all of this can be solved by calling a servant, but then the truth of how Ruibo ended up like this must be spoken of. Because even if Ruibo is useless, he is still a prince of the Rexion Empire.
And if the truth comes out about how Ruibo acted, then his already struggling life within the Imperial family would get exponentially worse. It's taking all of this into account that Azrail spoke, at least that's how Huifen would feel, because no matter what Azrail does now, the situation has already spread to the ears of the Emperor from Meng Yao with explicit details.
'He is gone anyways.'
Musing at this thought, Azrail spoke.
"Let's head out."
Saying so, Azrail started to move with Valencia and Xuanyin in tow. Valencia, now the idiot down, went back to normal, which means crazy, as her hands fully took Azrail's hand, latching herself to it as she started to walk with him. While Xuanyin, one who learned to see and understand the world due to her not having strength, saw much more than anyone else as she questioned.
Her feelings of question and understanding made Azrail smile, a proud one as he responded with his mouth out loud.
"You are right, he was the target. I wanted him down, hence I took Huifen and had Valencia make a move."
Xuanyin: "....."
"Well, I did it because that prince will be of some use to me, he has some things that will be useful to me, isn't it, Valencia?"
Azrail's words made Valencia's eyes flash cold for a moment, the words of Adria pushing to show forth that the clutches of the Heavenly Rulers had fallen to the boy she had seen.
"His fate is very interesting; he should have awakened with great talents blessed from his lineage, but thanks to the controlled programs to hurt and crush of the Heavenly Rulers, he became like this."
And they can't go around the entire cosmos searching and deleting each child which raises suspicion. Now that would be impossible, hence they found a loophole for them to use, a way to use the system they control to get their desires down. And hence, they created a certain AI-like control function to mess with the fate of those whose talent shows great growth.
The end of Valencia's words was stone-cold and filled with killing desire, one strong enough to cause goosebumps within Xuanyin. After all, Valencia too is one of the ones affected by the target that Heavenly Rulers had placed. For you see, the Heavenly Rulers themselves can't see the chosen ones of this Era to replace them.
And they can't go around the entire cosmos searching and deleting each child which raises suspicion. Now that would be impossible, hence they found a loophole for them to use, a way to use the system they control to get their desires down. And hence, they created a certain AI-like control function to mess with the fate of those whose talent shows great growth.
Of course, the fate-twisting AI-like control stuff only works to target those from backward realms, places, or powers. After all, it's only from there that powerful ones will grow to take over the position of becoming the Heavenly Rulers. Thus, this newly created control will monitor, using the Heaven's system, to target newly born extremely talented ones from lower powers, places, or positions.
And then it would twist fate around to make their lives miserable and lead them to their death. But what the Heavenly Rulers didn't know is the fact of how many blessed powers will be born within this Era due to the presence of the danger heading to the Heavenly Tree itself. Thus, a whole load of problems descends.
Not to mention the fact that the Heavens itself had manipulated a bit the program of fate the Heavenly Rulers created. The Heavenly Tree placed talents upon talents to be born. And normally, for the presence of the chosen ones to take over the position of Heavenly Rulers, the chosen ones would go through several trials to rise from being poor to power. So they can respect and use power in a very controlled manner.
Thus, the Heaven itself liked the idea and instead of fully deleting the fate-twisting AI-like control stuff that was created, the Heavens tweaked it. Keeping the fate twist to make the first part of their lives bad, keeping their talents locked such that they would face powerlessness a bit later into their life, their suffering would calculate towards their stopped Karma to give birth to an extreme amount of luck for them to use. A way to balance the scale and blessings to the several chosen blesses that the Heavens created, their darling warriors.
The Heavens made it to push the fate in many ways, arranging things such that several of them would come together to support and help the truly chosen 11 ones to replace the Heavenly opposers. The Heavens itself went out of its way to make truly powerful, overpowered, and heavily blessed ones for the 11 chosen replace values.
The whole of this Era is a feast, with the Heavens itself going to do some more tweaks to the system. Cause the chosen ones aren't just being born into lower families but also powerful ones, and it thus raised it to affect such places, going forth to mess with some families that wouldn't hesitate to challenge the heavens themselves.
While Valencia wouldn't see the ends of everything, she can still tell the subtle layers playing around. And while in her mind, it would be better to use them, she is more than willing to kill them all or use them if her hubby wants to. Thus, with suppressed feelings, Valencia asked.
"What's the full picture here?"
"I will tell you what it is when your fate line is strong enough to handle it."
Azrail's reply made Valencia's eyes flash, her words now being questions from Adria.
"Why not use him, why make him an enemy? My master is asking that."
To this, Azrai, still walking with the duo with Xuanyin listens intently, cause she too is one affected like this by the heavens, though she still doesn't know deeply about anything yet.
"Tell me, Lady Adria, you can see more, so what do you think will happen if I take someone with his chosen legacy into any team I make?"
No reply came from Valencia, the words that Azrail stressed being something that both Valencia and Adria understood. The way he will be increasing his powers, and the legacy that chose Ruibo is one of the lustful paths and it would certainly not match with Azrail's group.
"For me, I think it would be better to use him and how, why, and all. Why don't you all just watch the games that I play?"
Azrail threw the subtle hint with a smirk, his words causing an extraneous pull of pink energy to rile within Valencia due to how cool he looked. Okay, perhaps that only looks within the eyes of the completely love-sick and mentally obsessed girl, whose soul is still being twisted.
