During the next few days even before the investigation of assassinating the monarch could be finished Prince Liason committed suicide by drinking poison. Thus there was a cover of false serenity over the empire of Daxtros. The sinner to slaughter King Qiza was dead and the new emperor Rial was decided.

"Her highness princess killed the emperor...why?" It was impudent of a commander to step inside a princess's chamber at night yet Sub Commander Liex could not have an ounce of sleep thus, at last, he sneaked to Lilith to know what she wished for.

"General Liex is Consort Jeansen's uncle yet you still let this princess frame the consort some months ago infront of King Kyzm why? Don't you see commander we both are the same.....fighting for the place that was rightfully ours yet snatched away by people who did not deserve it."

"General Garx is my brother.." those words were spoken as if Liex wished to wash the malice that existed in his heart, he could not harm his brother despite how much he was stepped on yet there existed a hatred that could not be sidelined. General Garx took away all his honor and even his pride but he did not wish to kill him.

"King Kyzm and Prince Ragel were my imperial father's brothers." That one sentence meant that if they did not let him live peacefully and even contributed to his death why would Garx be any different?

"Do you know commander... I did not kill emperor Qiza. It was his wife, Empress Caronisia." When Lilith smiled and told such secrets to Liex, in reality, she was giving him one last chance...an opportunity to deflect to her side but also a warning, if he tried to expose her secrets he would not even realize how he died.

It was a chance to not become like Duke Waran and Prime Minister Artim...people that had swords lined at their heads.

Shock, amazement and astonishment all the colors reflected on Commander Liex's face before he smiled bitterly.

"Tomorrow is the coronation of Emperor Rial...can you achieve what you want princess? There are many obstacles in your way and King Kyzm is not easy to defeat." Lilith furrowed her brows as if watching some child that did not understand her yet.

"This princess will leave Daxtros a day after tomorrow with gold carriages and thousands under my command..and this one wants you to escort me."
