Zander King is tall but two inches shorter than Emperor Andrew and Prince Anders. His body looks weak as expected of a normal scholarly gentleman. He has reddish hair, an oval face, soft angled eyebrows, long eyelashes, calm amber eyes, a straight and pointed nose, and thin lips.

Emperor Andrew immediately realized that this person called Zander King is also a certified eye candy!

This Zander King's physical appearance is not bad... Does she like this type of man?!! Is she interested in him?!!

He could not help the anger and jealousy inside his heart. His hands are fiercely clenching and unclenching while he looks coldly and seems indifferent towards this Zander King... For some reason that he could not fully understand, he sees him as an eyesore and his blood always boils every time he sees this person! As much as possible, he does not want to see him but he does not have a choice before but to behave in front of his Imperial Father and court officials...

Two months after Emperor Andrew successfully ascended to the throne, he also successfully eliminated all the threats to his throne!

General Ardor is maintaining the peace and security of the empire, especially the capital while Minister Aaron and Minister Zander are really useful in stabilizing the court, especially now that he plans to go out to get her back and conquer other empires!

Emperor Andrew does not like Minister Zander King but he needs him in cooperation with Prime Minister Aaron Marvel to monitor and control the other officials, just as he needs General Ardor Lamoreaux to make sure that his empire is safe and protected while he is away!

Zander King, as long as you do not put your hands and thoughts on someone or something that belongs to me, I am never an unreasonable person!!!

Emperor Andrew expressed to the officials his ambition to invade the other two empires and unite them under his absolute rule! Most officials immediately agreed especially those officials who could see the bright side of having only one empire and they belong to the upper class! As Emperor Andrew expected, they will be blinded by greed and personal gains but for those who tested his patience and did not immediately agree, they suddenly disappeared and were never seen again! Expanding the territory is his stated reason but contrary to what they know, his main reason and true purpose are personal! He will personally venture outside the capital because he wants to search for his beloved Beatrix and good-for-nothing Imperial Brother who crossed the line and took his Beatrix away from him!!!

Beatrix belongs only to me! Anyone who blocks my way will surely pay!

Prime Minister Aaron, General Ardor, and Minister Zander are his vital aids in securing and holding the fort while he is gone! He was able to successfully and easily got their support using one common goal! And that is to bring Beatrix Lamoreaux back safely to the capital of Sky Empire!

"Your Majesty, I know it is too much to ask but please bring my daughter back!" General Ardor sincerely said like a reminder to him and continued: "Do not worry in your journey, Your Majesty, because I will guard Sky Empire with my life!" The General swore.

"Your Majesty, leave the court issues to us! We are just begging for my granddaughter's safe return." Prime Minister Aaron politely said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please bring Sister Beatrix back to us..." Minister Zander said with a hopeful expression.

Emperor Andrew nodded to General Ardor and Prime Minister Aaron but he controlled himself not to unsheath his sword and decapitate Minister Zander because he could see that familiar expression again! It is a very familiar expression because he always sees that type of expression on his Imperial Brother's face every time he is together with Beatrix! In the end, he chose to ignore Minister Zander and motioned for his troops to start their campaign!

You do not have to tell me. My main goal for this campaign is to get her back soonest!!! If all the events will go according to my calculation, the expansion of territory will just follow...

Emperor Andrew thought as he and his troops marched towards the path where Beatrix and Prince Anders used to leave the capital!
