    <span><span>I picked up the habit of early-rising since I''ve been spending the majority of my time in the army. Therefore I was wandering in the garden of emptiness before everyone else was asleep.


    <span>I was fond of morning sunshine for itsck of dazzle and the additional fresh air.


    <span>The air, yes, sweet air, tempting me. I sniffed greedily. The freshness swirled in my lungs then passed onto my brain and limbs. I could feel my body turned lighter. What a perfect morning.


    <span>If only I didn''t sleep in the studyst night, it would''ve been a brilliant start of the day. What was I thinking?


    <span>"Cohen!"


    <span>I discovered the king who I devoted my ligeance to. He was aglow.


    <span>"Good morning to you, my king." I greeted Fischer faintly, and found myself a stair to sit.


    <span>"Are you alright?" Fischer let his guards secure the perimeter and sat beside me, "Are you angry at someone?"


    <span>"For god sake, Fischer, this is not my angry face. This viceroy is concerning the empire and its people. Am I great?" I rolled my eyes at him, joked, "And what brought you up this early?"


    <span>"Me?" Fischer smiled weakly, "Because I felt the happiness."


    <span>"Ew! Goosebumps!" I used my arms to hug myself, pretending to be jealous.


    <span>"Come on, don''t me me for you sleeping in the study, nor did I ask you to walk in the garden with your armor on. me yourself."


    <span>"Is it toote to say I was jealous?"


    <span>"You have every right to be." Fischer praised, "If you''re jealous, that means I''m happy."


    <span>"Okay, okay, you win!" I pped.


    <span>Fischerughed 3 times to the sky, then hugged my shoulders, "Cohen, thank you."


    <span>"For what?"


    <span>"Anything, can''t you let me say thank you?" Fischer tightened his arm, "Thank you for everything you''ve done. If it weren''t for you, I don''t even know what my life would''ve be."


    <span>"Mark it in your brain." I nodded, "Well, I prefer cash if you ever wanna return the favor."


    <span>"Piss off." Fischer kicked my butt, "Walk with me. Quit sitting there. It''s freaking early in the morning."


    <span>Therefore the two of us started strolling, shoulder to shoulder, talking about the war.


    <span>"If, I said if, the rebels were defeated. What''s your n?" Fischer asked faintly.


    <span>"I…" I thought, "I''m gonna let the 3 cardinals pay, I wanna…"


    <span>"Cohen, I mean if the rebels were exterminated. Every single enemy was destroyed." Fischer interrupted, "What would you do next?"


    <span>"What should I do? How could I know?" I continued thinking, "Or first I should fight for my right to sleep in the bedroom with my wives."


    <span>"Count as one, what else?"


    <span>"Then leave all that Dark City shit to my father." I replied thoughtfully, "Take my girls out, anywhere they wanna go. I''ll be mad if I am a viceroy forever."


    <span>"Huh, you be mad immediately if your old man heard what you said." Fischer chuckled, "Well, care to hear my n?"


    <span>I nodded.


    <span>Fischer gazed at me with his sincere eyes, "Okay, when you and your wives skipped your duties and travel, would you mind bringing 2 extra passengers?"


    <span>I gazed back, also with my sincere eyes, "Like… who?"


    <span>"You know, Cohen, I admire you for being a smart ass." Fischer hesitated, "These 2 being me and anotherdy."


    <span>"That is not a problem." I said mysteriously, "But the money''s on you."


    <span>Fischer nodded, "okay, Cohen, I think I''m gonna talk to your father about one of your dreams."


    <span>"Never mind. We''ll split the expenses, half and half." I quickly put on an obsequious face, "That works for you?"


    <span>"Nope, I''m not paying a penny." Fischer grew intoxicated, "Because I''m your king."


    <span>"Oh! Roger that, Your Majesty. I''ll solve the money problem." I humph-ed, "So my king, how did you feel the happiness this early in the morning?"


    <span>"What?" Fischer smiled, "I have a date with ady in this garden. I think she wants to make a lei for me."


    <span>Next Fischer was confused with the shaking of my head.


    <span>"I''m afraid you might expect the lei a whileter because you''ll have to audience a group ofdies <i><span>you </i><span>invited." I saw the officer who was in charge of guarding the fleet carrying the nobilitydies, he wasing for me.


    <span>"Why does it have to be me?"


    <span>"Haha, why not." Now I was intoxicated, "Because you''re my king."


    <span>The officer came by my side, telling me the fleet was waiting by the gate. Although Fischer was reluctant to go, he had to.


    <span>I was beyond joyful. Laughed, I turned my body, only to find 5 angrydies with flowers in their hands.


    <span>"Good morning, princess, mydies!" I put away theughter, "I know I''m particrly handsome today, but don''t look at me like that."


    <span>Carey approached and she was not friendly.


    <span>"Carey, that was only a joke."


    <span>"A few days earlier, Winterhard sabotaged the king''s alone time with Bernie, now you! Why did you have to do it!?" Carey wouldn''t want to let me get away.


    <span>"Come on, Carey, it''s just a little while, then he''ll be back." I was so wronged, "It''s the king''s job to see the nobilitydies first. I can''t help him with that."


    <span>Having said that, I began striding to the gate, thinking I''d give back Fischer''s time with the princess. Striding as I thought about the war.


    <span>However, a shrilling alert from the gate pierces my ears, then several earth-shattering bangs.


    <span>(My gosh, Fischer is at the gate NOW!)


    <span>Without hesitation, I quickened my steps.


    <span>"Sir, weapon!" Malphite picked up his pace and tossed my ck de.


    <span>"Seal the city gate!" Unknown to what happened, I shouted orders to a guard near me, "Guards, protect the mansion. IGT assemble at the front door!"


    <span>"Yes, sir!


    <span>(Fischer, don''t!)


    <span>When I rushed to the front square of my mansion, I was stunned to see the destruction of the front door of my home. I was left with a gigantic mess: dark gas and smoke filled the air. Dozens of guards'' bodies scattered in blood. The nobilitydies'' carriages had only frames left.


    <span>A giant white light ball was moving quickly not far from me as several fragmentary guards were tossed from it.


    <span>I roared, eyes reddened.


    <span>"FISCHER! WHERE''S FISCHER!!?"


    <span>de out, howled, I charged forward. However, like crashing into an invisible wall, my body was forced back to the ground. The wall paralyzed my limbs at the same time.


    <span>The giant ball began spinning. It moved along the main road as it speeded up, more soldiers were grinded into a mista of blood.


    <span>I slowly regained control of my body before my father''s voice came from behind, "What happened?"


    <span>"I don''t know." I was in a state of utter stupefaction, "Fischer''s missing."


    <span>"Sir, 6 masked men have kidnapped His Majesty, heading south!" A guard came running to me from a distance.


    <span>I dazed then tried to talk to my father before Malphite, who stood beside, roared. The next moment, he threw his dagger at me.


    <span>Nearly instinctively, I dodged the dagger. It brushed against my ears and stuck into the earlier guard''s head.


    <span>Blood sshed, he fell and died.


    <span>A sharp de was firmly holding in his hand.<hr>
