The Golden Throne

Chapter 191: Meeting his father

“Why, big brother? That is not correct. You would miss all the little good things in the process. Problems are eventually going to become a part of life, and we will face a lot of them. But the little good things will come in scarcity, and we cannot give them away just for a little less pressure.”, Hu Long said.

Liu Feng looked at him with shock. “And you tell me that I speak like an old man? Listen to yourself.”, he said.

Hu Long remained silent.

“Alright. I have a more important thing to do now. I have to see my father, and explain to him why I took so long to arrive.”, Liu Feng sighed,

“Why big brother? I mean, everyone must have his reasons.”, Hu Long asked.

“Not everyone in the world is as understanding. And, you know how important the current situation is. In a precarious time like this, I am supposed to be there, supporting my father as the crown prince.”, Liu Feng said.

“Sounds like being a crown prince is a big pain.”, Hu Long said.

“You don’t even know the start of it.”, Liu Feng laughed. He turned around to leave. He took a glance at everyone around him. The civilians were still in a line, and they were slowly tricking out of the mansion. Liu Feng guessed that by now, most of the civilians would be out of the place.

“That place is literally a death mine waiting to happen.”, Liu Feng thought to himself as he walked away. He was going to leave the city and go back to the camp, where the kings were actually waiting.

He did not look at anyone on his way back, and no one stopped him either. The soldiers clearly had a little more discretion with Liu Feng on his way back. They knew that if he was coming back from the front lines, then there was a clear reason that he was alive, and he shouldn’t be stopped.

Liu Feng reached the city gates of the city after some time. He looked at the camps, which were clearly visible from where he was right now.

“Well, if these demons had any common sense, they would have attacked the kings who are defenseless. Of course, they would not know that Arad was there. But it would have been dangerous if he wasn’t. I need to make sure that it doesn’t happen again.”, Liu Feng thought to himself as he left the city. 

In front of him, there was a large and empty ground, and a road that was laid out. Liu Feng walked on the road straight to the camps.

He got to the tents, and walked across them to the main tent where the kings were at. They were obviously discussing the next steps to be taken. By now, they would have gotten the information that the siege was a success.

Liu Feng saw a lot of recruits moving around the tents. Clearly, they had something other than just sitting around to do. Liu Feng was a little surprised, but he did not care too much. He also saw a few children, who were wearing the mage tower robes, walking around. 

“Well, why would they risk any mage’s lives for a siege like this?”, Liu Feng thought to himself as he kept walking. 

Finally, he was stopped by a guard in front of the king’s tent.

“Who are you? A mere recruit wished to disturb His Majesty? The audacity!”, the guard shouted.

“Oh right. This badge is still on me.”, Liu Feng realized. He ripped the badge out of his shirt and tossed it away. 

“Looks like this one won’t let me in. Well, I can’t blame him for doing his job.”, Liu Feng thought to himself as he started fishing for something from his spatial ring.

He then got a shiny medallion from his ring.

“I am from Dilheim, representing the city. His Majesty is expecting me.”, Liu Feng said.

“You should have said this before. What is your name? I shall report to His Majesty.”, the guard said.

“My name is Liu Feng.”, Liu Feng said.

“Like the prince?”, the guard asked.

“The prince. Just tell the king that I am here.”, Liu Feng told him.

The guard looked at Liu Feng suspiciously but he went into the tent nonetheless.

“Your Majesty, Someone with a medallion from Dilheim claims to be called Liu Feng. He wishes to meet you.”, the guard asked Liu Man, who was talking to Damascus and Balor.

“Liu Feng? Let him in, fast.”, Liu Man said hastily.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”, the guard nodded as he ran out and conveyed the same to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng nodded and walked in. He saw Liu Man.

“Father.”, he nodded.

“How long does it take for you to come? It took us just two days to walk to that city, but it took you so much longer to come. What is wrong with you.”, Liu Man grumbled.

“I was held back by a few unfortunate circumstances. But why did you want me to be here so urgently?”, Liu Feng asked as he looked at the other two kings. He bowed to them customarily, and they nodded at him.

“Why? Because this is a war that you started, and you have the most information about. What do you mean, why? You are the only person who faced these demons so fiercely.”, Liu Man said.

Liu Feng nodded. “Well, the first thing that I did was make sure that everything went according to plan. So then, I heard that while I was gone, a very interesting thing happened with the mage tower disciples. Thank You, Your Majesty. It is comforting to know that you are on the right side of morality.”, Liu Feng looked at Damascus.

“Looks like you are quite the chatter. To hear of this almost immediately after you come in.”, Damascus winked at Liu Feng.

“You must be joking, Your Majesty.”, Liu Feng said. He was thankful that Damascus did not reveal Liu Feng’s whereabouts over these few days. What Liu Feng was doing could potentially destabilize the whole country!

“So then. What were you working on for so long that made you so late? You said that you were done with a project.”, Liu Man asked Liu Feng.

“Me? A project? That was just tweaking the guns, nothing too special about that. Forget it. I shouldn’t have dallied so much. But now that I am here, I will take command and make sure that causalities are low and morale is high.”, Liu Feng said.

“If you want to fix morale, then you have to take care of those arrogant classmates of yours. The students of the magic academy might be a little more powerful than the rest, but they certainly are showing it in their arrogance. The number of problems they caused us are numerous. Even though I tried to restrict them by giving that order, it only deterred them for a little. They need a powerful figure, and who else than the feared Liu Feng?”, Damascus looked at Liu Feng.

“The feared Liu Feng? Please don’t kid. I am just a normal everyday student who happened to get into a few problems. By the way, if you don’t mind me asking, where is Amelia? I have not seen her in the last few weeks.”, Liu Feng smiled sheepishly.

“Ah, Young ones. Just can’t keep their blood from falling down there. But I can. You have more work to do. First fix the students of all four magic academies, and you might find her in the process.”, Damascus said.

Liu Feng nodded.

“Is there anything that you want me to do, Royal Father?”, Liu Feng asked Liu Man.

“Nothing. I just needed you beside me for counsel. You are here now. The next battle is a week away, so you can focus on getting all those children in line. Not just the magic academy but the mage tower as well. They are kids and they lack true discipline.”, Liu Man said.

“Yes, Father. I will take care of it.”, Liu Feng nodded. “Did Arad hand you the royal token? I will need to now for my identity.”, he smiled sheepishly.

“It’s with him. Take it yourself.”, Liu Man swatted him away.

Liu Feng nodded as he left the tent. He looked around once more and went to the guard.

“Where are all the mages from the mage tower and the students staying?”, he asked the guard.

“My Lord, they are in the north east wing. They have their own section, and no one but them is allowed within, as per the orders of the kings.”, the guard said.

“Don’t worry. If I am not allowed in there, then no one can be.”, Liu Feng smiled as he walked towards the direction that the guard pointed him towards.
