Raffaelo's POV. It felt like needles prickly on my skin when I noticed the King's gaze on me. A tight nut formed around my abdomen and the hair on my skin stood on end. It wasn't just danger I felt, the urge to quickly grab a weapon and aim it at the King's neck was what overwhelmed me the most. I simply wanted to be on guard. My dad's right arm slowly tapped my back and the thoughts that roamed through my mind came to an immediate halt. I quickly regained my posture and looked away from the King as a small sigh escaped my lips. The King, a man with black hair and brown eyes continued his entrance nonchalantly as a fair blonde woman slowly walked after him. Her beauty always captured the eyes of many men even when I was 20 in my past life. I always wondered if she had some sort of power that continued to make her look younger. Their kids walked right After, the first Prince first and the second daughter last. There were four of them. The first Prince, Prince Thylan....who is going to be the future Tyrant King after his father. The first princess, Manita. Her beauty was just as eye-catching as her Mothers but couldn't hold a candle no matter how much she tried. She had a habit of using her body to get what she wants from people. I would know, since I lost my virginity to her in my past life. The 3rd Prince, Prince Julian. Well, the bastard that ordered my elimination in my past life, though things will be different now. The 4th daughter and second princess, Meadow. She died far too early for me to have enough information on her but what I do know for sure, is that she didn't die a natural death. After what seemed like forever, the Royal families took their seats on the Thrones presented for each of them. The King's was placed in the middle while the Queen's was right of his. Four smaller thrones were placed to the left of the King. Silence filled the courtyard as the King slowly raised his right hand. " You may go back to your seats...". In response, every one slowly went back to their seating position all the while noticing the number of guards that had suddenly increased after the entrance of the King. Some few seconds later, maids walked into the courtyard with covered trays of food. "The King didn't seem to pay attention to us" Thalia murmured into my ear as I slowly turned my gaze to her. "Hmmm..it seems so". "It's only right he attends to us last....just put your fingers crossed for whatever event he intends on playing for us today" Morganna said, fiddling with her hair as she stared at the maids coming their way. Her impression was right but not something you would expect from an eleven year old. 'Maybe she experienced her growth sprout too early ?' A small sigh escaped my lips when I noticed my father's worried expression as he stared at me. I gave him a weak smile and he nodded softly. After a few minutes, Everyone seemed to be engrossed in their meal while chattering with one another. The King had an attendant next to him, Nexulus Bon, the life line butler of the Imperial family. He whispered words into his ears after every few minutes while taking a glance at the courtyard. My father and mother had noticed this strange behaviour as well but they insisted on ignoring it unless Something provocable occured. "Firstly !" The King said with a loud voice that made everyone present silent. The thought of disobeying his orders was unfathomable. The imperial family are known for having an unnecessary bias with the goddess of casualties and the abilities they possessed were unique and difficult to deal with. They would have been a force to be reckoned with if not for the presence of the Jun family. My mother suddenly turned towards him staring daggers into his expression and the King seemed to have noticed. "You do not want your son to serve the nation, cousin ?" "Of...of course my king but he is young and knows not of the world" "Then do you propose I take in one of your daughters then". He asked and my mother seemed to have been put in a stand still as she pondered on his words 'This m*therf*cker.....why take any of us in the first place? What are we, some kind of cattle ?!'. I thought while hearing the giggles of the 2nd daughter again. Our attention slowly fixed on her and the Queen had this worried expression as she stared at her. She slowly turned away ignoring our stares and continued her poker face. "My King!" It was my turn to pitch in now. In this time and age, the thoughts of children hardly ever mattered to adults but in the presence of my father. Who dares to touch me ?!. The King slowly looked at me with a baffled tone. "Did your son just speak before adults ?" "Hah...my King....it must have been a mistake...I will surely correct-" I slowly tapped my father and he slowly looked at me. His soft eyes exuded a worried expression as he sighed. "My King ! There are still things for me to do at the Jun household ! All my father asks is that you wait 5 years for when I officially graduate from the Academy". The King didnt seem pleased at the thought. "Why would I agree to such a condition". 'Oh wow...son of a b*tch can't even hold his true intentions now' Once again, the 2nd daughter giggled holding her hand over her mouth this time to stop herself from increasing the intensity. I ignored, I didn't know what was going through her mind but this was more important. "I don't agree to such an absurd demand ? Do you realize how important Phillip Jun was to the military ?! I have techniques in the Castle that will benefit you" 'Why is he being so stubborn'. "My King...the only son of the Jun family has to learn everything from his household if not the family will not thrive until another son has been born". My mother retoriated. It seemed they have stopped at a standstill. If the King says any thing more, it would only imply he has other intentions other than "training me". "Tsk....I do not care....from now on, by the power invested in me...Raffaelo Jun is now- *THUD* The King froze in his statement as our attention was slowly drawn to the crowd behind us. It seemed like something, a black mass had suddenly fell from the Sky. "Hmm.." my father chuckled and Yes so did the rest of our family. The black mass suddenly began to twirl and mutate as small bulges began to pop out of its skin. It suddenly increased in size slowly and persistently as it formed what looked like a two legged creature. Its arms were muscular to a fault and it had a long lion tail. It's head grew into a mass of round balls forming the mane and the head of a mighty lion as two long red horns protruded out of its head. All this while, the crowd had begun to panic due to the unknown uncertainty. Most began to rush towards the exit before it even completed its transformation. The black mass had transformed into a mighty lion-demon like creature as it stumped on the ground causing a super sonic scream and letting out a mighty cry. "ARGHHhhhhhh !!!!"
