Chapter 35

'In every person there are two types of qualities, the one that takes you up and the one that takes you down, and the quality that wins between these two, the person lives that kind of life.'

"Even me?" Emperor Dean asked her, running his other free hand on her loosen hair.
Kira laughed slowly. "I wasn't referring to you Dean. I can't fight you to test my strength, hell, you are my teacher. I am this strong because of you so you are not among those who I was referring to."
"Better, I would hate myself for fighting you," Dean said in a serious tone.
"I know, me too, good night Dean."
"Oh before I forget. I want you to visit Adaoh tomorrow morning. There is something she needs to work on you, okay?"
"Okay Dean, goodnight."
"Good night my fire."
Soon enough, they were fast asleep entangled in each other's arm.

Ashland Kingdom:
Emperor Ariadne Palace:
Storm was seen laying on the cold ground in the palace compound. His two hands were at the back of his head. Staring at the stars above him, Storm sighed softly.
When he had returned from Warlord Emera place and saw that his brothers had been well fed and their rooms arranged. He left Gwen with them and went to the dinning area where he saw Empress Rose and her children eating.
They had paused when they saw him and held identical frowns on their faces.
Reca was the first one to get up. "Thank you mother, I have to start going home now. I didn't inform my husband I would be spending the night here," she said. "I left my child in the care of my handmaid. I will see you soon, mother, Morgan and Fred."
She left the dining room without looking at Storm once.
"I was enjoying my meal before someone who smelled like wasted maggots walked in and made me lose my appetite,'' Prince Morgan said, standing up and leaving. Fred didn't say anything. He just followed his brother's footsteps, glaring at Storm all the way until he was out of sight.
"So it is just you and me or are you going to walk out on me childishly like your children did?" Storm said and then continued "You know, no amount of make-up can hide her bruised face. You could have stopped her from going back to her abusive husband," Storm said, getting up from his seat and going to sit on Morgan's seat, slowly eating the remaining food on the plate.
"Mind your own damn fucking business. She is my daughter and not yours."
"But she is my sister too, shouldn't I show concern over her?" He asked once he finished eating Morgan's food and diverted to Fred's own.
"Enjoy your meal." Empress Rose left.
Storm sighed once again and he continued to look at the stars. He had told Gwen he wanted to be left alone and probably she saw the look on his face and didn't argue with him.
He slept off.
One hour later, six assassin's dressed in blacks were seen moving in the shadows and killing the guards on duty that night. They hadn't made a noise. They had made sure none of the guards made a noise as they were killed. Soon all guards guarding the front Palace lay dead and the six assassin's suddenly made their way towards Storm, circling him.
They all raised their blood stained swords together and brought it down. Their swords were almost touching Storm's body when he said.
"I haven't had a decent sleep for the past few days and I am trying to have my sleep peacefully and you are interrupting me. HOW DARE YOU?" he growled out the last three words.
That startled them a little but they were quick to regain composure and strikes again.
Suddenly their swords flew out of their hands and were dangling in the air. And just like that, the assassin's held their heads and their mouths opened wide to scream out in pain but to their utter dismay, no sound was coming out. They were in pain. All their bodies were in serious pain.
All these while Storm didn't open his eyes.
