A rosy color dyed the sky as the sun's rays peeked through the horizon. Gideon and his aide walked in a long corridor. Huge and tall white marble pillars lined both sides of the corridors.

They were on their way to the Supreme Blink Sphere's room, however, both of them halted their steps. A white-haired man wearing luxurious clothes walked along with his knight and aide towards them.

"I greet the Emperor of the Chrono Empire."

The white-haired man nodded.

"I heard you are going back to your fief."

"I am."

"Mind having a little chat before your departure?"

The Emperor pointed at the garden on the side with his head.

"Of course not."

With that, they walked down the stairs to the garden. Various kinds of flowers bloomed beautifully, which testified to the gardeners' efforts.

They stopped in front of a giant water fountain in the middle of the garden. The Emperor's magenta eyes stared at their reflections in the water below.

"Is there any movement of Yovanny's soldiers near the border?"

"As of now, there isn't any movement on the land. But, I heard their ships continued to roam the Northwest of the Chrono sea."

"I know it's nearly impossible to cross the Forest of Téras, but it never hurts to be extra vigilant. Especially, in a situation that might escalate to war."

"I agree."

It started when the Yovanny Kingdom sent a letter of complaint to stop illegal fishing inside their sea territory. The Empire sent a reply, explaining that the Northwest sea was Chronos to begin with, so there was no illegal fishing since it was exactly inside the Empire's territory.

Ignoring the complaints, the Emperor ordered the fisherman to continue fishing without worry. In response to the Empire's action, the Yovanny Kingdom sent ships to patrol near the Northwest of Chrono's sea and the Empire took the same action. The Emperor exhaled a deep sigh.

"I know our relationship with the Yovanny Kingdom has never been good because we were in the Cold War for hundreds of years but to think they are blatantly showing hostility towards us now--"

The Emperor paused, he turned to the side and met Gideon's cyan eyes. He smiled gleefully.

"--I guess, it's time to clean up my ancestor's mess."

The Duke laughed heartily upon hearing his son-in-law's words.

"It is. Hahaha!"

Many people said that the Yovanny Kingdom had the same land size as the Chrono Empire but in fact, the Chrono Empire was bigger than Yovanny.

Therefore, Yovanny envied Chrono which held the title 'Empire' despite having the same land size. With this, the two of them wage war for hundreds of years. The Yovanny wanted to take the Empire's title, while the Chrono Empire wanted to seize its kingdom.

Maybe Yovanny could create its own Empire but, how about de facto and de jure? Especially, when Yovanny and Chrono were on the same continent and Chrono had been spreading their influence on the continent for the past hundreds of years.

"By the way... how is he?"

Gideon stopped laughing and glanced at the Emperor.

"He? Ah, you mean that puny bunny."

"Pardon?"

The Emperor was dumbfounded. For more chapters, please visit

"He's doing good. He's shown a lot of improvement. Yesterday I had a sparring session with him and surprisingly, he was able to land a few scratches on me."

The Duke proudly showed the scratches under his gloves to the Emperor. The white-haired man was sweat-dropping when he saw the blemishes. It looked as if they were made by a cat.

"However, he is very different from children his age. He lacked emotion and words. You should meet him once."

The blonde man said as he put his gloves back on. The Emperor stared back at the water below.

"I really wanted to meet him but, as for now, I will refrain from any action to meet my son or the first wife's son. Because that could lead to a misunderstanding that I adored one of them and caused a rift in the Imperial Court."

"Guess that's the best for now."

Gideon eventually nodded, he fully understands how difficult it was to harmonize the Imperial Court.

"Your Highness, it's time for you to wake up."

I blinked to adjust the lights entering my eyes before sitting up on the bed. I stretched my body and somehow I felt so refreshed today. Thanks to the Super Potion, my wounds had healed. My bruises were nowhere to be found as if they never existed in the first place.

There are 3 kinds of medicines: Potion, Super Potion, and Elixir. Potion treated minor wounds such as cuts, scrapes, scratches, and punctured skin.

Actually, just using the Potion could heal my bruises. But, since I had a privileged life as a Prince they gave me a Super Potion instead, and I like it. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

Super Potion treated light internal injuries and minor wounds. Created by Alchemists and Herbalists. It was said that the Super Potion was quite pricey. One bottle of Super Potion was equal to 5 bottles of Potion. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

Were you heavily injured and had your limbs chopped off? No need to worry! The Elixir existed to treat heavy internal injuries and wounds, for example losing a limb.

I didn't say it could grow back your limbs like axolotl. But it could reattach a severed limb's back, as long as your cut limb wasn't crushed, and wasn't a head. Amazing, right?

If Super Potion was called pricey, a bottle of Elixir cost a fortune. Just like Super Potion, Elixir was also made from mixed herbs and Alchemy. What made it expensive was the herbs were imported from the Elven Kingdom.

Not only that, but Elixir was also a handmade product. They couldn't be mass-produced like Potion and Super Potion due to the high failure rate. Only high-ranking Alchemists and Herbalists were allowed to make Elixirs.

Unlike Potion and Super Potion which could be purchased anywhere, Elixir was not freely available; they were only sold in the official Arcanist Tower, be it the main or the branches Tower. However, upon using these medicines, please note that you would not instantly heal, it would still take time.

Getting down on my feet, I headed to the basin that was on the table. Washed my face there, then a maid gave me a towel. I received it and my eyes caught a table full of dishes.

Ah, being born with a diamond spoon was really something else. I didn't need to work my ass out for the sake of food. I just need to follow the schedule and I could enjoy the luxurious life of a Prince.

I walked to the table where my breakfast had been prepared. Just look at it, the food on the table was enough to feed 10 people. Sitting my butt down, the butler took each dish and ate them. He always did that to make sure that the meals were not poisoned.

"You may eat them now, Your Highness."

I picked up my cutlery and started eating them solemnly.

Fedel--my head butler's name, he was a man in his late sixties but somehow he looked younger than his age even his hair still had black-haired in a few parts.

His greyish eyes were kinda scary in my opinion, they were cold and reminiscent of wolf's eyes. His body was well-built but not that kind of bulky one, but it fitted him well.

I was pretty sure that he was one of the Empress' people. I glanced at my surroundings. Not only him, I believed everyone here was. Well, it did secure my security but somehow being watched wasn't nice at all.
