Except for Alex's footsteps everything seemed to cease for a moment.

Before Alex was the man who made the whole world tremble in fear with an overwhelming force and charisma.

However, his overbearingness never affected Alex.

Alex stood before Kevin who sat on the throne chair.

A throne made of rocks appeared behind Alex on which he sat down.

Kevin stared at Alex intently.

The moment he looked at Alex's eyes, the dark aura of death descended all around him.

Kevin felt as if his son's personality had totally taken a detour.

If he was asked to describe Alex.

He would say one line.

An ambitionless man having great potential.

Even though he had grown rapidly much to his surprise, he lacked greatly in terms of charisma.

He lacked the will.

Although it may not look like it, his eyes were mostly bored and he felt everything was bothersome.

It was only when he was with his wife, you could find a hint of life and desire in him however now..

You can sense it.

That indomitable will to conquer and destroy everything in the path.

He had finally gained what he lacked the most.

The charisma of an Emperor.

"Why did you create such a ruckus?"

"Is this only to punish Shen?"

"Just for a simple thing you cut down a great number of people."

Alex couldn't feel any displeasure from his tone so he spoke nonchalantly.

"I just cut some leeches who had been sucking blood and doing nothing."

"Moreover, they were the ones who attacked first."

"Whether it was in front of gates of those Supremes.I was attacked first so everything had been self defence."

Kevin's lips twitched as he wondered what kind of self defence tactics is this.

"So, what do you want now?"

Alex studied Kevin's expression and spoke.

"You know very well what I want?"

"Open the path to the darkness realm."

"I will bring her back with my own hand."

"I don't need your help to fight the other side so just open the realm."

Alex, whose voice had been cold till now, started to quiver a bit.

The Darkness realm can be said to be a separate world which is outside the Goddess jurisdiction.

Since it was a world with its own laws, you cannot just enter it as you wish.

To open the door, a great amount of resources is needed along with the combined effort of the Goddess and all the peak power of each species.

Kevin tapped the armrest while pondering carefully.

"Since you knew about the darkness realm, you might already know about the price to open it."

"It was opened recently and opening it again is not plausible."

A frosty aura emitted from Alex.

No matter what he was not going to back down today.If they didn't open it willingly, he just had to force them to open it.

"But it's not entirely impossible."Kevin spoke with a solemn expression.

"I don't have the right to decide this."

"Since you have proven your worth, I will give you a chance.Whether you can force them to open it or not depends entirely on you."

"What do you mean?"

"Treaty Of Valeris."

"It's going to be held soon."

"Representatives of each species would be present there.You need to convince them."

Alex's eyes narrowed and he closed his eyes feeling that he had taken a step closer to free Riya.

"However.."

Kevin's next words startled Alex.

"You need to get the position to represent Kinley there."

"I see."

A smirk crept across Alex's lips.

"Harold and Arkham crown Princes had been determined so they would surely be there leaving only Kinley whose Crown Prince is still undecided."

"As far as I know, the Emperor can bring one of his guards along with the Crown Prince."

"Martial Saint might be going with you so either I need to defeat him or become Crown Prince."

Kevin was startled a bit seeing Alex arriving at the conclusion quickly.

Seeing Kevin keeping his lips shut,Alex felt that his inference was correct.

Taking a different approach, he had gotten strong quite fast.If he did to have any experience of this kind of strength he might really be in a bad state.

He did not know how much stronger he had become but he was sure about one thing.

He cannot defeat Martial Saint and get the position.

And he did not know how long it would take to get there so his only option was the Crown Prince position.

Alex raised his head and looked at his father's solemn gaze.

"How do you want me to do it?"

"Do you want me to become Crown Prince after making a bloodbath or do you want me to take a different approach?"

"I am not even a Prince now.The only way for me to get the Throne is to go against the entire Empire and throw it into chaos.'

"No matter which option you take there will be a blood path."

"However, I can help you a bit by making your path less thorny."Kevin spoke with a sigh.

"Wait for a bit in your mansion."

"My mansion in Leonhart."Alex asked with a confused expression.

"No,the one here."

"The Fifth Prince mansion, the place where you stayed before being thrown out."

"Hmm!'

Kevin did not speak anymore so Alex got up and walked away.

The conversation was short but at least it showed him the way to his goal.

He did not know how he would help nor did he have much expectations.He just needed to do what he had been doing till now.

That is to get stronger and destroy everything in the path.

Who knows his father might be setting another trap for him after all he did not get any punishment for causing all this mess?

However he cannot run away anymore.

The moment Riya was taken for her, his path had already been formed.

That is to conquer everything cause there is a slim possibility that he may have to go against the whole world.

As Alex walked out, Kevin stared at his back and sighed.

"Kids nowadays grow up really fast."

......

Alex walked out from the Emperor Mansion and saw the soldiers taking care of the aftermath.

The battle had destroyed the front and many buildings of the entrance.

On top of that, many were injured in the aftermath who needed to be treated.

Alex decided to look for Athena first.

"Your Highness."

"Hmmh!"Alex saw a bunch of Knights standing in an orderly manner.

"What do you want?"

Alex's cold tone made them flinch back a bit.

"Your Highness, we are the Knights who have accompanied you since your birth and now we have been asked to take care of you again."

"We have prepared the carriage for you."

Alex was bit a sceptical about their respectful behaviour however pondering for a moment, he thought to see what was going on.

Alex did not refuse them and decided to observe them first then to arrive at the conclusion whether they are worthwhile or not.

"Okay but first I need to look for Athena."

"Lady Athena had already been escorted to the Fifth Prince Mansion."

"Hmm!"Alex nodded and got up into the carriage with a complicated feeling.

The carriage started to move and the Knights strode on their horses around the carriage.

And the carriage moved towards the place which can be said to be his home before.

Home where he and Riya spend their childhood together.
