Advertisement
The shining yellow sun started to rise from the ground. It filled the sky with its mighty brilliance. It was bright and mesmerizing as though it was inviting people to stare, to look at its brilliance.
Under this magnificent yellow sun, The west gate of the Mulan kingdom capital city was wide open, with more than five hundred soldiers gathered there to maintain order.
The streets have been washed clean and cleared up, aside from that, all the homeless and beggars that used to hang out at the gate at this time were either sent away or apprehended.
Currently, the Royal family cavalry was arrayed in perfect formation and wore their best armor as they gathered outside. At the leading position, the Crown prince Roman accompanied by a bunch of high officials were standing at the gate, personally waiting to receive the incoming distinguished guest.
Today the Crown prince was dressed in official clothing as usual, but they were his finest. He had a slight smile on his face as he stood there waiting for the guest.
Behind the soldiers, there was a gathering of Mulan citizens who were watching in curiosity. They did not know who was coming that made the royal family have such a parade, but one thing was certain, that person must be very powerful because not even the 3rd prince of the Mighty Nicholas empire received such a welcome when he first came three years ago.
Time passed, minute after minute. By the time the sun rose high above the sky, The welcome party had waited for quite some time but there was still no sign of the distinguished guest.
" I have a report crown prince, your highness." A scout from the royal family cavalry rushed towards the crown prince, kneeling down in front of him.
" Speak," Roman said with a commanding tone. Right now, he was showing his noble demeanor of a crown prince from a huge kingdom.

" Your Highness, The Djage Empire Emissary is about to arrive. Later, should we allow their troops to enter the city as well?"`
" Yes, of course, they can enter with their troops. The Mulan Kingdom is an affiliated kingdom of the Djage empire, they are the ones who truly control the Mulan Kingdom. Our rise and fall depending on them, so how can we leave them at the door." Answered Roman as he waved his hand.
" Yes."
Unlike most people, the Crown prince knew who the emissary of the Djage Empire was. The emissary was none other than the legendary 4th prince. These few days, he had been collecting news and information about the 4th prince, his habits, his attitude and his strength. Each of the news described how peculiar and impressive the 4th prince was.
He had no experience when it comes to politic, military, and diplomacy. From what he had heard, he was a battle maniac who loves to train and did not give a rat ass about the throne. Aside from that, he was very loved by the common people of the Imperial capital. He built an Orphanage and took care of many kids. Even though he did not publicly claim it and run it, most people knew that he was the one who built it and funded it secretly.
Right now, the 4th prince was his sure ticket to the throne. If he could gain the support of the 4th prince, becoming the new king of the Mulan kingdom would be as easy as taking a walk. Currently, he has one goal and is to please and gain the acceptance of the 4th prince before his other siblings do.
Right at this moment, a huge flag can be seen in the distance. it was truly a massive flag with the insignia of the Djage Empire. Almost after seeing the Flag did the envoy of the Djage Empire started coming into vision. In front, was a huge luxurious gold carriage protected by four imperial knights wearing a set of gold armor and a fine red robes. Behind them was at least a hundred soldiers wearing silver armors and armed to the teeth.

Very quickly, under the leadership of the Four imperial knights, the entire troops reached the front gate of the Mulan kingdom capital city, stopping approximately a hundred meters from the city gate.
Suddenly, a group of well-dressed soldiers from the Mulan kingdom came to the gate and stood orderly on two sides. After that, the troops from the Djage Empire advanced out in the middle of the two lines of soldiers. After a few minutes, the soldiers stooped.
A youth in blue robe astonishingly got out from the carriage accompanied by a young beautiful woman. He had dark purple hair and deep black eyes that seemed like a bottomless pit of darkness. He looked very handsome and gave off the feeling that he wasn't from this world. It was as though he was overlooking the world rather just being a part of it. Behind him were Four imperial Knights standing vigilant with light flashing in their gazes. their hands were on the hilts of their swords, covering and protecting the the prince in all directions. Which such formations, Even if a 7th rank warrior attacked, they could still keep the 4th prince safe and sound.
As soon as this youth got out the carriage, the Crown prince of the Mulan Kingdom quickly walked over with a bright smile on his face.
" 4th imperial prince your highness had a long and rough journey, I, Roman Lorence, welcome you to the Mulan Kingdom," said Roman as he bowed deeply to Shad.
His voice was cool and bright with a degree of calmness. Moreover, In front of the 4th prince, he did not dare to use his commanding tone or show off his power. He addressed Shad as though he was talking to his After the King of the Mulan Kingdom as Shad's power was almost on par with the King.
" His royal prince is too kind. You can just call Shad as we will be seeing each other a lot in the future," Answered Shad with an amiable smile on his face. Before coming here, he had never met the crown prince of the Mulan Kingdom not to mention the King.
It was Shad's first time to see the Crown prince. He was about twenties years old. His eyes were sharp and he had a square face. Despite doing his best to hide, his body was still emitting a noble aura and haughtiness as though he was above the common people.
Despite being raised and educated by the Imperial family, Shad could never emit such a noble aura or haughtiness because he doesn't think that he was above the mass just because he was a prince.
" Well if you insist, you can just call me Roman as well." Answered Roman. he was beaming with joy deep inside because the 4th prince allowed him to call him by his name which means he has a chance to get close to him and even become friends.
" You must be very tired after such a long journey, please follow me inside the capital. Everything has already been prepared for your stay."
Then Shad turned around and heading towards his carriage along with roman amidst the cheers of the people at the city gate who had finally known about his identity. Roman was so happy that he even forgot to introduce some of the high officials that were waiting with him at the city gate and left them hanging outside as he entered the capital with the 4th prince.
