.... .

The old fellow who appeared abruptly between the duo of Aunt and niece kept staring in the direction of the departing carriage. His gaze was filled with reverence, fear and a tinge of excitement.

"What a terrifying fellow! " The old man whispered under his breath as he broke down in cold sweat thinking about his previous encounter.

Looking at the overbearing way in which Leylin was acting, He felt that Leylin was being too arrogant and decided to show him a bit of his prowess but in return he was overwhelmed by the gigantic force like wave which swept him silly.

The encounter was one of the most dreadful situation he has ever been in. The unbridled fear of death which he thought to have suppressed long ago resurfaced and he understood the true terror of his strength.

"Father, Did you get injured by that guy? " Crista asked in concern, as she felt a bad premonition that something is not right. Her being the queen, she obviously had someone capable to protect her, but since she has partaken in a private matter her father volunteer himself to accompany her and take a look at Leylin's ability.

The old geezer didn't answer her but turned his gaze towards Lita, " Little Lu, You sure have found an amazing son-in-law for our family! "

Listening to him, Lita face turned red in embarrassment as she bowed her head and muttered, "It's not like that."

Crista was also surprised at her father's exclamation and she began to feel a strange excitement, She looked at her father while shuttering a little, " Dad, Do you think what he said about helping us win was... "

"Yes dear, I am sure he has the ability to do that and quite easily too if your ask me. His strength was just unfathomable, I have never felt anything like this before. Even your husband isn't capable of making me feel this much desperation. This guy is at a whole another level. We should count our lucky stars that he is helping us. My Raiz Family still have a future! " The old man almost cried while speaking, He is reaching the end of his life span and has been functioning only thanks to the herbal potion and mixture but even that has a limit. He knows very well what outcome would befall his family if he dies and her Daughter loses but now there was a ray of hope left.

Crista was shocked listening to her father, Her husband the Emperor Austin Felineca is the strongest and most fearsome existence in all of the Empire and his strength is awe inspiring. The only selected few who could even go head to head against him is her father and some others, and even amongst them her father is considered to be the strongest. For Leylin to be so strong and suppress her father to such an extent that her father announced his strength greater than her husband is not a light matter.

"Let's see what miracles are going to take place in our Empire! " The old man spoke as he looked toward the horizon, Crista was still in a shocked state processing all of the information.

Lita bowed her head a bit and a small streak of tear flowed down her flawless face, but she also felt a little sweet in her heart.

She looked at her left hand and pressed the ring in her fingers. This ring was a gift given to her by Leylin, At that time she was so happy to receive this, that she didn't even consider them parting ways.

'I know that someone like you can't be bounded and you have to reach greater heights and I won't ever think of pulling you down. You may not be the most romantic and loyal man but I know I have a place in your heart and as long as I have that I am content.' Lita wiped her tears and tried to calm down gazing at the setting sun with a slightly pained expression.

...

The following week in the Felineca empire, an historic event took place. The most anticipated and awaited, Crowning of the new emperor, since the flames of war has been going out of control there was an outcry to settle this dispute as soon as possible and thankful that day has come.

Many nobles were waiting with great anticipation to see the obvious results but the shocking and unsettling news for many was that the Fourth Prince actually lost.

'Erwin Felineca' the crown prince of the empire was crowned the new emperor taking his rightful place on the throne.

As for his brother he was found be 'sick' due to an old war injury and passed away soon after.

To the common masses it was a huge piece gossip but to be truthful, it doesn't matter to them who is the emperor or whatnot. To common people it is just a juicy piece of gossip talked about during meal time. Although various emperor had various ways to govern the empire, in total there hasn't been much instances of a drastic change and amazing revolutionary amendments to the establishment decorum so overall, every reign was the same to people at the bottom.

But the same couldn't be said for the Nobles, each switch of throne brings a gigantic change to their position. All the supporters receive great benefit and favourable position, something extremely important in these troubled times, meanwhile all the opposition are crushed, suppressed and made an example off. This particular victory for the new emperor was the most bloodiest and brutal switch in recent memory.

In a small span of one week, Multiple opposition leaders constituting various families head and organization presidents were killed brutally, the amount of casualties were beyond belief. Various families seized to exists, various Princes and their supporters were killed, assassinated and abducted.

In this difficult times and genocide, everyone uninvolved ignored the matter, even the previous Emperor Austin Felineca was sitting on the sidelines while this massacre ensued.

Just when everyone thought that, enough is enough and the Emperor must intertwine to supress the situation, The emperor announced his support in Erwin, inaugurating him as the new emperor.

This particular instance and drastic change in political situation along with it's brutality was famously known as 'The Blood Successor Incident' in the noble circle.

All the existing noble families immediately lined up to serve the new Emperor and swear allegiance to him.

This incident shook the whole dynamic of the empire, although there were many who questioned the brutality and also condemned the murdering of their own powerhouse during wartime, no one had the guts do anything about this. Because the new emperor had the support of a very fearsome existence.

In this time, there was also another rumor spreading throughout the noble circle and that new emperor was just a figurehead and there was talks about the existence of the most important person and someone who now ruled the Empire behind the scene. Someone who had a very intimate relationship with the fearsome expert backing Erwin. Even through it wasn't clear who this person exactly was, there were many who narrowed it down but no one was insane enough to test their theory.

Away from all this drama and small stuff Leylin continued his long awaited journey.
