Illarion was really shocked to see the figure in front of him until his embrace of Amanda loosened.Amanda immediately took advantage of the opportunity. She freed herself from Illarion's trap and ran towards the little boy sitting there."MAX! Are you okay?!" Amanda asked worriedly but immediately blocked Illarion's sword towards Max with her body. "Don't touch my child!" she hissed angrily.Illarion swallowed his saliva. "Ah, what am I doing?" he asked, completely confused by the strange surprise of the day.The Black Emperor even threw the sword with the symbol of Anarka's golden lion above the split bamboo sword. "I didn't mean to hurt him," Illarion intervened softly, now looking worried about the child behind his mother."Oh, my God!" Princess Hera exclaimed as soon as she saw Max's figure.Meanwhile, Queen Zaina could not hide her surprise in her eyes and immediately covered her mouth."Are you okay, Amanda? Max?" Peter asked, who was now helping Max and Amanda to stand up. Ill

Illarion suddenly remembered a story from some time ago when they stopped at Viscountess Mandela's residence. At that time, the Black Legion easily achieved a small victory, and the Black Emperor - then still known as the Prince - and General Andreas didn't even have to leave their post to oversee it. "What are you doing?" Illarion asked coldly when he saw General Andreas being fed by Viscountess Mandela. General Andreas immediately choked, and Viscountess Mandela laughed awkwardly while inviting the Black Prince to sit in the living room. "I thought you wanted to eat in the dining room," General Andreas said casually after drinking the water offered by Madam Mandela. "Are you hurt?" Illarion asked again, furrowing his brow, looking doubtful at the bandages covering both General Andreas's arms. "Didn't you fight some soldiers in a fistfight before coming here? That wasn't even long ago." General Andreas cleared his throat and didn't answer what Illarion asked. "Madam -cough- my

“Huh? What?” Peter was confused, still processing some rumors he had heard that turned out to be nothing but lies until the Black Emperor uttered his last sentence. 'Since when do I have a wife?'“Do you love Amanda? For how long?” Illarion asked again, starting his interrogation. Actually, he didn't want to take anyone's wife, but if it were Amanda, the story would be different.The cramped room put a lot of pressure on Peter, especially with the dominating aura of the man on the bed.Trying to calm himself down, the skinny man sat on the wooden chair by the wall. “I've loved Amanda for a long time, about two years ago,” Peter said. 'Amanda is not the right girl for the Black Emperor, she is a good girl, and I will make her happy. Two concubines of the Black Emperor and thousands of women behind him will make Amanda suffer from competing for this man's love.'“When I saw her for the first time at my parent's house, I immediately fell in love.”“Enough!” Illarion roared, feeling like

"Are you my father?" Max asked without any preamble. He walked beside Illarion. For a seven-year-old child, Max was quite tall. "Do you wish I was?" Illarion asked back. Max stuck out his tongue. "Of course not. I hate my father, and if you were my father, then I'd hate you twice as much," he said while holding up his middle finger and index finger to show the number two. "You're becoming more like me. I hate my father even a thousand times more," Illarion said."I hate you two thousand times!" Max exclaimed. "Well, that's up to you," Illarion said indifferently. "I hate you, you know," Max repeated while stopping in his tracks. "I'm sorry," Illarion also stopped beside the little boy. He did not easily apologize, but he knew that was what Illarion had hoped to hear from his father years ago."You made my mother suffer. She was insulted as a woman of ill repute because of my birth, because of your absence beside her," Max said, looking down and kicking the ground where he stood.

"What is it like?" Jean exclaimed, suddenly fangirling over Illarion Black and defending the black-haired man, not wanting his idol to be compared to anyone else. "His face, like that of the Black Emperor, is very exclusive. Even among the famous handsome Anarka nobles, his is the most handsome face."Suddenly, one of the villagers ran with a pale face and went straight to the Fang Chief. "Chief! Please help. My brother's carriage fell off the west cliff, the Helena ravine! I'm afraid a landslide might bury them. Please, they're on their way, taking my family and my heavily pregnant sister-in-law to the Kingdom of Eden," the panicked man explained.Chief Fang patted the man's shoulder gently, trying to calm him. "Show me the way to the scene while explaining what happened to me." Chief Fang noticed Illarion was also listening to what the man said. "I'm sorry, Black Emperor, an unexpected event has occurred to my people.""I and my escorts will help you, Chief Fang," Illarion offered h
