Your Highness, The Mad Emperor Is Acting Up Again!

“I promise to protect you with all my might. They will have to kill me before they can even try to take your life away.” In a bamboo forest, a young man dressed in majestic golden robes with the left side of his face covered with a mask solemnly faced another man who was dressed in elegant blue robes, sitting on a comfortable wooden wheelchair with a severe ailing appearance. “Everything I have will become yours.” The power, the authority, and influence you have always desire, I will give all of them to you. “You will live for a long time. ” I will eliminate the problem that has caused you to become a Short-lived Prince in the previous life. “So Wang Ling, let us sign a contract to change our destiny.” Su Yunsheng has always carried the responsibility and duty he received for being born in the Imperial Family, always being humble, kind, and benevolent. But in the end, he was betrayed by the people he trusted, and even easily disregarded by those he had always protected and cared for. "Since you betrayed me, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" The System floating in the air can only lament his choice after witnessing the deaths of innumerable people. "Ah, my Host, you were so kind before..." As soon as the blood spilled on the magnificent jade floor, the servants around shook in fear while secretly hoping for his Royal Highness to once again calm down their murderous Emperor. The short-lived Prince, Wang Ling, who had just arrived can only sigh at the scene of the Young Emperor killing people again. "Your Majesty, I'm hungry." The dreadful murderous intention in Su Yunsheng's purple eyes swiftly resides as soon as a certain person’s voice reaches his ears causing the sword in his hands to lower down before he put it back into its scabbard. "... I'll accompany you." … For the rest of my life. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yusheng remembers his previous life as the Imperial Prince of the Su Empire after dying as a modern person in another world. Along with the overwhelming resentment and hatred buried deep in his soul. And then he met the System Called Sun who has its own mission to fulfill, which gave him another chance to start all over again. "What do you mean that not only do I need to greatly take care of a short-lived person, but I also need to keep him alive for as long as I could?" The Short Live Prince Wang Ling gently smiled with a wicked light flashing in his beautiful green eyes.

Truth And Honesty

"Are you hungry?"

After arriving at the nearest town, Yusheng carefully puts down Wang Ling who was in his arms before taking a step back in order to maintain a proper distance between them.

At the same time, he pats the beautiful black stallion for doing a good while pondering what to eat for lunch since he needed to be careful about what to feed Wang Ling.

As for the three guards, only one remains in Wang Ling's side while the other two have disappeared after being given an order, which Yusheng doesn't have any idea about and isn't forceful to learn what the man is up to.

In their future association, Yusheng understands that they need to have a certain degree of trust between each other in order to have a calmer and comfortable situation in the future. 

Being doubtful, suspicious and plain paranoid isn't a good state of mind, as any enemy will be able to use it as a loophole to threaten their relationship with each other.

Especially when he can't use forceful methods when treating Wang Ling because of a certain System's condition.

"As you can see, and already know, I don't have much appetite, so plain porridge is alright."

"I know, but don't forget that I am able to treat you back to normal health and even go beyond that if you train yourself in a proper way. You felt it, right? If it was before, your body would have given up, but you are able to ride a horse for a long time."

"... To be honest, I couldn't believe that you can take care of my unusual illness."

While witnessing how the young man has paid a person with silver ingots, Wang Ling directly reveals his real thoughts with a gentle smile on his face.

At the same time, he hides his hands in his long sleeves as they tightly grips each other, showing how chaotic his mind is.

Throughout the entire ride, Wang Ling didn't feel the usual pain in his chest that usually happened whenever he moved around for a long time, even the constant coughs didn't appear as the oppressive feelings in his lungs were lighter than ever.

Right now, there is only the normal tiredness for riding a horse because of not being used to it and the problem of having low endurance because of the lack of exercise.

"Well, I also wouldn't have believed it if I were you."

Instead of being angry, Yusheng only smiles before walking closer and once again taking Wang Ling's hand without asking for permission. 

And when their gazes meet, he can't help but playfully shake their hands with an amused glint in his purple right eye.

"Just as you have no control over what causes your illness. I also don't have complete control on how my ability can treat you."

Why is it an intimate act?

Before they get deeper into the mystery of their own circumstances, Yusheng gently pulls Wang Ling over to one of the largest residences he is able to easily rent for a few days after paying the owner with silver ingots.

The entire time, Yusheng has been using his Qi to secretly speak about these important matters to Wang Ling. He especially made sure that the dark guard, who hasn't yet lowered his guard down, won't be able to hear what he is saying.

"I'll be frank and will tell you what I wanted from you."

Opening the door into a simple guest hall and letting Wang Ling sit on the most comfortable chair, Yusheng quickly walks over to grab another chair, pulling it in front of the man before sitting on it.

At the same time, he calmly grabs Wang Ling's hands and wraps his own hands around them.

I'm sure Wang Ling has already figured out what I am getting at. There is no way he can miss the way I always try to hold his hands without letting go of it, along with the unusual difference that happens in his body at that time.

"There is a list of people whom I wish to kill."

Rather than the unusual evil fire, the entire atmosphere around Yusheng has swiftly turned dangerous and brimming with overwhelming killing intent, causing Wang Ling to tense up while the dark guard's body freezes over.

If it was usual, the dark guard would instantly spring out to deal with the sudden danger, and yet the murderous purple right eye that glanced at him over for only a split of second is enough reason to make his body unable to move.

The extremely fearsome and oppressive murderous intent in the purple eye makes the dark guard's mind turn blank, and enough to cause him to become paralyzed from unimaginable fear.

"And they are all over the Four Great Empires."

Yusheng continues on, tightly grasping the pair of hands of Wang Ling after feeling him tense up. 

And yet, the silent wrath and overwhelming murderous intention around Yusheng continues to overflow in his heart.

"Among them, there is a woman I desperately want to make miserable, and get in the way of what she desires. Wang Ling, I want to kill that woman with my own hands… I'm desperate enough to give up everything in order to be able to do it."

My own happiness… and my own life… as long as I complete my goal, I can do almost anything for it.

There are only a few situations that are keeping Yusheng from descending into complete darkness, thus having almost no moral bottom line, even though they're already sketchy enough, but he can still stop if required.

There is still a bit of control and restraint, yet, Yusheng doesn't know if it will remain the same way the longer he continues living because anything could happen.

"... What is my role in all of this?"

When Yusheng is about to get into the point of his mind descending further down inside his dark emotions, the extremely calm voice of Wang Ling manages to pull him back to reality.

At the same time, Yusheng slowly blinks his eyes after finally registering that Wang Ling's question has straightly got to the main point of the entire situation causing his murderous intention to decrease and being slowly replaced with a hint of positive emotions.

"There is a presence in your soul. Although you are born with special power, it wasn't supposed to cause a danger to your life. And that presence is the one causing problems within you, which belongs to that woman."

It's the cheat that accidentally landed in your soul or it might have been meant to be the cause of your specialness.

After learning about a few deeper information from Sun while riding the horse, Yusheng doesn't know if its fate or not, because if the woman had the cheat from the start, then there would have been no stopping her from easily conquering the entire Empires.

Host… do you really want to reveal it?

Suddenly, the quiet system watching the entire situation can't help but finally speak up after understanding how his host wants to reveal the important information to Wang Ling.

We have to do it because sooner or later, Wang Ling will eventually learn about this.

It's better to reveal such a situation earlier than keeping quiet about it, especially when that woman can use it to put a wedge between them in the future.

"Wang Ling, you can't die because the moment it will happen, that powerful presence will leave and return back to that woman. And then, I won't be able to kill her anymore since I will die before I can even get close to her."

Just like in the previous life, I was only able to catch a glimpse of her existence for once in my life.

"... The reason you want me to live and to treat my illness is because if I die, you will not get what you desire?"

For some reason Yusheng feels uncomfortable after hearing Wang Ling speak those words out with an extremely calm voice along with an expression he couldn't read.

Nonetheless, he still doesn't hesitate and answers truthfully because the least he can do is be honest.

"Yes."

You can hate me all you want. 

"... I see… I get it..."

After a minute of Wang Ling turning quiet with Yusheng patiently waiting for the next question, he finally hears the man ask another question.

"What is that presence I have been sensing but unable to clearly see?"

"It's a presence where she can get unimaginable items and power that will be able to help her conquer the entire Continent."

"Conquer? You mean to say, the Ancient Rule between the Four Great Empires will come to an end? And my death will start the war?"

If the Ancient Rule is gone, nothing will be able to stop the Empires from completely starting a war until they conquer each other.

Yusheng instantly shakes his head after remembering that the Ancient Rule had slowly disappeared before Wang Ling was dealt with in the previous life. Meaning that the bug still has certain power without the complete cheat in her hands.

"Just as you are born with special power, and I also have an unusual ability, that woman is also the same."

So, your death isn't the cause of the war.

Yusheng can't help but squeeze the hands in his grasp as a sort of comfort, before tensing up in surprise about what he had just done without thinking about it.

And Wang Ling is able to notice the young man's reactions, which is enough to slowly soothe the uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

"... Are you able to see the future?"

"No, but I like what I have."

"Why?"

Yusheng's smile widens when Wang Ling doesn't ask what his special ability is, after all, he has already revealed about knowing the man's special power.

"I can easily tell which person I need to completely remove."

"..."

A bit bloodthirsty and violent huh…but unexpectedly, it suits my taste...

Honesty is the best for a healthy relationship~
