When I growup
*Excerpt* "I am thinking of taking out a loan," I rolled my eyes, and thought to myself secretly, 'what an idiot but I can help this idiot!' I began with my lecture, educating a dedicated 'servant' is the duty of the 'master'. "A loan from a bank takes around 30 years to pay off, but if you rob a bank you are out in 10," "Ah...erm...Di'ordi what's with your head?" I felt puzzled by this, I mean my logic is sound! you don't have to worry about food and shelter in prison. I mean my 'servant' is decent enough to become a big boss while in prison. "Nothing, I robbed a bank a while back but my accomplice got caught the fool spent 10 years in prison but now she's out and living well." Ah, my last life but she will never know. "f*ck!" "No need to spout such filthy words, I haven't beaten you to a pulp or anything," -- Di'ordi had lived a fulfilling life and died beside the man she loved and surrounded by the men who secretly loved her. Of course, those men had been repeatedly suppressed for the past hundred years but because they are in fact his shattered soul made flesh weakening him, he had granted them a boon to stay by her side as her friends. Upon her death, his fracture souls were then bonded to her wandering soul and followed her to the thousands of light-years away planet to be reborn and join her once again. The issue is, it became a bit complicated due to her siblings and other circumstances. --- *Disclaimer notice: the cover is not mines, credit to the original owner* original novel~ please vote, thank you~ WPC February event~

The other princes made their own moves while the emperor who should be facing a crisis sat extremely calm. In the secret room, he scanned his surroundings with a calm face thinking that it is about time he stepped in. A ruler in charge of such a large empire the emperor had a huge burden on his shoulders. He knew that very well. After preparing for the exchange between kingdoms and deciding on choosing a female from among them for one of the sons who showed promise he now was reduced to this present predicament.
It was troublesome.
As a man who had lived so long, things like this would not cause his heart to waver. Even when he had strangled his offspring who had tried to kill him while he had been alone. From that time, he became all too aware that his offspring had a problem.
