Chapter 4 - Revealing the truth

Xifeng's point of view :

As I was taken inside the palace, I saw that the walls of the palace were of purple colour and every curtain or decorative item here had some carving done in silver white colour. The purple color of the palace looked good but the silver white color and its decorations were making the palace even more beautiful.

Looking at all these things I soon reached the Emperor's court. After this those soldiers informed the Emperor about the whole incident. Hearing about the whole incident, there was anger and a little frown on his face. And remaining silent for a while, the emperor ordered his soldiers to keep me in prison for a few days and when the festival is over, he will decide what punishment to give me.

Following his orders, the soldiers immediately started taking me to the underground prison. I was also walking with them quietly because I also needed to rest. The dagger that had hit me had injured me a little.

I was being taken through a cave like passage where there were many other prisoners locked in captivity.

Now I had been walking with these guards for a long time and I had gone deeper and deeper into the dungeon or cave like place and finally I was stopped outside a room that looked like a prison. After reaching there the guards opened the door of that room and pushed me inside, Although his push did not affect me, I still pretended to be scared and then the two guards who had come with me left from there.I had it in my mind that I will definitely take revenge from him for this unnecessary push.

Authors POV :

The guard who was guarding that room was already curious to know what he had done that he was arrested after seeing such a strong and tall man in the prison. He looked like a beggar but as soon as his fellow guards started leaving from there, he noticed that the man was looking at them with scary and dark eyes while they were leaving.

Hey why are you still standing here go inside..

That guard was not very strong, he just used to guard the prisoners here, but then somehow he gathered courage and said this.

At his words, Xifeng glared at him and walked inside. And the guard was sweating profusely out of fear.

As the prison was underground, there was not much lighting. Xifeng only saw a candle burning inside and there was a stone bed on each side of the room .But what Xifeng did not expect was that there was someone else in the prison room besides him, sitting on the bed.

But Xifeng decided not to pay much attention to him and went and sat on another bed because he also had to treat his wounds. After this, Xifeng started treating his wounds with his spiritual energy. These wounds were not very deep, but they still required a special kind of medicine to heal them. But Xifeng didn't have the medicine right now.

Xifeng still remembers the time his grandfather visited him when he was 20 years old and he learned many secrets about his life. Xifeng was told since childhood that his mother and father were no longer in this world and so his grandfather was still managing the Beast Kingdom and Xifeng was the next heir and future king.

Since Xifeng was now 20 years old and would soon become king, his grandfather decided to tell him the whole truth. Because if he knows the whole truth then he will be more alert of his enemies and only after knowing the whole truth he will be able to learn to control all her powers.

Xifeng was shocked to know that his mother and father were still alive. At first, Xifeng did not believe what his grandfather said, but later when his grandfather assured him, he became very angry with him. Without listening to his grandfather's full story, he bombarded him with questions as to why he was not told about this earlier. He did not get the love of his parents since childhood just because of them. Why are his parents away from him for so long and why don't they live with him and what is the reason that this thing was hidden from him for so long and why is he being told this now?

But grandfather soon took care of Xifeng and explained everything to him.

Xifeng's mother was not from the Beast Kingdom and did not have an animal form. She looked like a normal girl, she was very nice and she was also very playful, she knew every daily chore and she won people's heart easily, apart from this she was also a warrior.

And one thing that the people of the Beast Kingdom and Xifeng did not know was that Xifeng's mother " Wang LingYi"belonged to the underworld. She was very powerful and possessed dark powers. She was the only child of the king of the underworld and was also its future queen.

But LingYi refused the throne of the underworld and went against her parents to marry Xifeng's father " Wang Guan ".

Guan and LingYi loved each other very much. They met by chance. LingYi helped Guan because he was injured and kept him hidden in her kingdom. LingYi also took great care of his wounds and when Guan finally recovered, he left for his own kingdom. But by now both of them had fallen in love with each other and slowly Guan started secretly going to the underworld to meet LingYi . Both of them knew each other's truth that Guan is a Dragon Beast and LingYi is the only child of the King of the Underworld. But as soon as LingYi's parents found out about Guan, they tried hard to keep their daughter away from him but eventually LingYi and Guan both ran away and got married to each other. Guan's parents knew about LingYi because Guan had told them before about how she saved his life and because of this, Guan's parents accepted both of them.

And after marriage, they started living in the Beast Kingdom. No one knew about the real identity of Guan's wife. The people of the Kingdom only knew that their king was now married. LingYi won the hearts of Guan's parents because of her good behavior and she performed her duties as a queen very well. Therefore, the people of the kingdom also liked and respected their new queen.

LingYi's parents loved their daughter very much, so they did not attack the Beast Kingdom and accepted their daughter's decisions Besides, Guan loved there daughter very much and they would hardly have found a good son-in-law as Guan . Guan was the king of his own kingdom and respected elders a lot. Now he is proud of his daughter's decision that she has chosen a very good life partner.

Like this, one year passed since their marriage and both the kingdoms were very happy. LingYi's father was still managing his kingdom because he did not want to give the responsibility of it to anyone else other than his daughter. He had many enemies and they were all looking for Mackay. He could not trust anyone and neither was he close enough to anyone to give them the responsibility of the throne.

The underworld is known for its dark powers and the people there are very powerful but no one can defeat their king. And if by mistake the throne falls into the wrong hands, then they can use these powers to destroy the whole world. As long as the throne is in the right hands, this world will have no need to fear the underworld.

And soon the underworld king's worries are over when his daughter LingYi tells him that she is pregnant. Even before the child was born, LingYi's father had decided that his future grandson would become the next king of the underworld.

LingYi's father was convinced that his decision was correct because whenever LingYi's father went close to her during her pregnancy, he could sense the immense powers of the baby growing in the womb. He knew why it was because his daughter is very powerful and Guan is also the most powerful and king of the Beast Kingdom. Besides, even though LingYi was the princess of the underworld, her heart was very pure and kind.

And that is why God soon blessed them with the birth of a little child who was an Alpha and was born half beast and half human. He also had the power of his father inside him and he was the king of dark powers with a pure heart because any common people and people with good powers could easily feel the powers of that child And people with good powers couldn't stand before him for long because they felt suffocated by the dark powers of the child.

But there was someone who could not tolerate all their happiness. A grand ceremony was held on Xifeng's 1st birthday and during the ceremony someone poisoned LingYi, the queen of the Beast Kingdom. LingYi belonged to the underworld and used black power, so ordinary poison could not harm her But the poison she was given was not any ordinary poison, this poison was brought from the underworld which caused great harm to LingYi. The thing to think about is that no one in the Beast Kingdom knew that she was the princess of the underworld and whoever poisoned her could not be from the Beast Kingdom at all. Whoever poisoned him must be a special person in the underworld because even in the underworld, very few people know about this poison. Even the royal people of underworld have a special power that can neutralize any poison but this special kind of poison can harm the royal people and even kill them.

LingYi was poisoned by her own maidservant. Before anyone could question the maidservant about who forced her to do so, LingYi lost control due to the poison and killed the maidservant instantly.

Till now no one has been able to find out who poisoned the queen of the Beast Kingdom and immediately after killing that maid, the queen went into a deep sleep and since then she has not woken up till today. The queen had immense powers and she tried to counter the effect of the poison and she was successful but still the poison put her into a deep sleep. The queen and the king had promised to live and die with each other and as soon as the queen went into deep sleep, the king also slept with her and he too has not woken up till today. Everyone believed that the Queen and the King were dead, so LingYi and Guan's parents decided to propagate this rumor. So that they can protect their children from the enemy's sight until they come to their senses. The old king and queen, i.e. Guan's parents, had once again started managing the Beast Kingdom like before. Guan's parents never made it clear to their people whether their king and queen were alive or in deep sleep, They never even announced that their king and queen had died, due to which the people made up their own story that perhaps the king and queen had died.This news quickly spread throughout the world and the king or the queen never woke up from their sleep to prove the world wrong.

And Xifeng also knew the same thing that her mother and father were no longer in this world, but now after knowing the whole truth, tears were continuously flowing from his eyes. No matter how much training he has received to run the Best Kingdom and the Underworld, No matter how tough he is, he was unable to hold back his tears after learning about his parents. Tears of joy and sadness were flowing from his eyes simultaneously. He was happy that his parents were still alive. But he was sad because something very bad happened to his parents, his entire family and him. After all, he was only 20 years old and after knowing everything, a terrible anger could be seen in his eyes. He hated those who dared to do something like this to his parents, He wanted to take revenge from them and wanted to kill by torturing them. He wanted to take revenge from them for every single second when he used to feel sad remembering his parents.

It's been 81 years since that incident and now I am 101 years old I still haven't found the person who gave my Mather that poison. At the age of 20, I took over the throne of the Beast Kingdom and became the king. At the age of 25, I would have been made the king of the underworld, but after my coronation in the Beast Kingdom, someone poisoned my maternal grandfather and grandmother, which caused their death. And at the young age of 22 I started handling two big and powerful kingdoms. Some of my special people also helped me a lot in this work, my grandfather and grandmother were also with me, they took care of the Beast Kingdom in my absence.

Meanwhile, I met many fraudsters but they could not do any harm to me. I became very cruel due to not being able to find the culprits of my parents and grandparents and now people are scared of even my name. People avoid talking to me except my grandparents and cousin, By now I have become used to my work and manage both the kingdoms alone. I live equally in both kingdoms and recently I came to know that some human's were also behind the poisoning of my parents. And he belongs to this state. If I wanted, I could have come and caught him directly, but I decided to come here like a common man. Because if someone gets a hint of my arrival, then humans would get caught but the rest of the enemies of the Beast Kingdom and the Underworld would get alerted. As soon as I left my kingdom, my dark guard brought me the news that someone has attacked our Beast Kingdom. I couldn't go back to the Kingdom for such a small matter because the attack was done by some traitors of our own Kingdom so my cousin would handle this matter easily. Right now I am in the prison of this kingdom but I can easily get out of here and no one will know. I have already collected all the information about this kingdom, And I am getting a bit suspicious after knowing about the royal family. I could have my dark guards find out all the information if I wanted to, but right now my special guards are helping my cousin in thr war. He is only 15 years old and doesn't have much combat skills but he is extremely intelligent. My cousin is not born, he came to this world in a very wonderful way and is very special to me.

If my cousin was here right now, he would definitely be very worried about my wounds and he would have every medicine for my wounds, he is an important part of my body and he is the only thing that makes me smile sometimes.

My maternal grandfather before dying gave me all the details about the poison that was given to my mother. And the dagger with which that man had stabbed me earlier had the same poison in it. That poison is not an ordinary poison that can be found with anyone in the human world, At that time I could not control my anger and instantly killed him with my poison at the same spot. The reason for killing him was not the gold coins but the poison in the dagger.

But now we have medicines of that poison which was made by my cousin. But there are some special conditions for poison like the poisoned person has to take the medicine while he is conscious only then the medicine will work, And so I still haven't been able to bring my mother back to consciousness but I am still searching for the cure for that poison so that my mother can regain consciousness as soon as possible.
