Monarch of Darkness

"What? You managed to find Stacey? Are you telling the truth?", Brianna looked at Evan. From her voice, Evan could see how much agitated she was. She was not that agitated when he learned about the Black family that night.

"Where is she?", Brianna asked with anticipation in her eyes. "Aunt, I am sorry. I can't disclose the location of that place. It will alert the enemy", Evan replied with a calm voice.

"Evan, how can you say it? She is your cousin sister", Brianna shouted at Evan. "Why

should I care?", Evan thought inside his mind.

He looked at Brianna with a firm gaze. He had determined that he wouldn't disclose the location of that place because it would surely alert the enemies.

Brianna frowned after seeing the look in Evan's eyes. "We can't hide such a thing from your uncle. Come with me to meet him", Brianna spoke after a while.

"It has been months since I see him", Brianna murmured to herself. They left the Moon palace and moved towards a corner. A ordinary looking palace came to their view.

When they reached the palace, Evan felt a different atmosphere all over. There were beautiful plants everywhere. Beautiful flowers were swaying in the wind and birds were singing songs. Evan didn't see any guards outside the palace. "What is going on?", he thought to himself.

Compared to the other palaces where there were always a large group of people and the cacophany of their voices, this palace was completely different. There was a cerene atmosphere which could only be found in mountains.

Evan followed behind Brianna and they entered the gate quickly. "Go back, master will not see anyone", a sharp voice came from a distance.

"I am here to see big brother. Can you inform him?", Brianna asked without showing any displeasure. Evan's eyes narrow after seeing the behaviour of his aunt. "Who is it?", Evan thought to himself.

No sound came from otherside for a while. Evan frowned after waiting for sometime. "No matter who he is, aunt is the ruler. There is someone still dare to disrespect her in the area of royal palace!", he thought to himself.

"Brianna, why are you here personally?", a voice came from a distant. A figure came over and his figure gradually became clear in the eyes of Evan. 

The approaching figure had a slightly mature face and broad shoulders. His eye brows were sharp and he was exuding a strange sense of power from him. "Big brother", Brianna called out with a little bit excitement.

"Is it Evan?", the approaching figure asked with surprise in his eyes. A majestic will fell upon Evan and Evan felt like a tidal wave approaching him.

"It is use of will!", Evan exclaimed. He had not seen anyone using this kind of power in this life. He felt as if a mountain was pressing on him. He greeted his face and stubbornly resist the attack.

"What a good kid?", the mature looking man spoke with surprise in his voice.

"Evan, what are you waiting for? Pay respect to your uncle Lawrence", Brianna gave a sideglance to Evan.

"Good afternoon uncle", Evan bowed slightly. He could now confirm the identity of the person infront of him. He was the Divine general, Lawrence Jackson of royal family.

He hadn't heard much about this person. He had only heard that there was someone who was more powerful than the twelve generals. He was hailed as the divine general of this generation.

Brianna frowned after seeing the lackluster attitude of Evan. General Lawrence laughed slightly without minding Evan's attitude. "Where is grandfather Mason? I have not seen him since a long time ago", Brianna asked.

"Father has not come out since you and Olivia left. He is training quitely without caring about the outside incidents", Lawrence replied. Brianna nodded his head.

"I will see him later. I am here to see you for an urgent matter", Brianna replied.

"Is there anything troubling you?", Lawrence asked with a smile. There was something flashed past in his eyes before Brianna could realize.

But he couldn't hide his emotion Infront of Evan. Evan had one of the most powerful soul in the universe and one of its ability was to perceive the other's emotion. Although he couldn't particularly point out what one was feeling but he could tell if someone was hiding something. He threw a look at divine general Lawrence.

Lawrence noticed the gaze of Evan on him. He looked away and his gaze turned towards the distant mountain. "Brianna, tell me what do you need from me?", there was a fluctuation in his words. Even Brianna could perceive his emotional change.

"Big brother, I have news of Stacey", Brianna looked at Lawrence. "Oh, did you manage to find anything?", he asked with a troubled look.

Brianna nodded. She looked at Lawrence with a confused expression as she noticed the havyood of Lawrence. "What is troubling you, big brother?", she asked with confusion.L Lawrence shook his head but didn't say anything.

"Sigh!"

"Lawrence is there a need to lie to her. There is no coward in our Martin family. All of them have gone already. If our clan will end with us, then so be it", an aged voice came from a distance.

"Uncle Mason", Brianna cried out. She could understand something from his aged voice. "Little girl, I am seeking your forgiveness for my family. We are eating your salt yet have the heart to betray you. This old man will personally kneel before you", an one eyed old man came towards them.

"Father", general Lawrence cried out. "Uncle, don't do it", Brianna shed a drop of tear.

"Uncle, I have heard what happened. Please don't do it. Olivia will be sad if she has to see this", Brianna spoke with a pleading tone in her voice. A glistening tear drop came out from her eyes.

"What is going on?", Evan felt confused. Before coming here he didn't have thought that the divine general had such a deep relationship with his family. Moreover it seemed like his mother also had a deep relationship with the old man Infront of him.

"There should be atonement for the sin I have committed. My brother has left me with a duty to protect his family but I failed his trust", a drop of blood came out from his eyes.

Evan's expression changed after seeing the eyes of old man. "How much pain was he bearing?", Evan murmured to himself.

Brianna sobbed as she kneeled down infront of the old man. "Uncle, I will kneel with you as long as you kneel", she said while sobbing.contemporary romance

"Little girl, you and Olivia both were good to me. Yet, what have I done?", tears came out from the old man's eyes.

Brianna went over and pulled the old man up. "Uncle, you have already sacrificed an eye to atone. Now, there is no need for further thinking. I should have come earlier. I didn't know you would do something so extreme", Brianna said while sobbing.
