Ambrose [ZH] and Duke Garrick had reached the Mireraweth palace seeing that they were in the throne room where the emperor awaited them. 'It seems as though he may be up to something.' Ambrose knew for sure that something was surely going to happen since it did not seem like any ordinary meeting in the throne room. Looking around, many of the higher officials were all further away from the center as if there was something planned for them.

"Greetings, your majesty." Duke Reynard was the only one who said it since Ambrose had to hide once again behind his mask and hide his voice.

"Do you know why I have summoned you both here?" The Mireraweth emperor looked down to the two who had no clue from the start but kept their guards up knowing their situation.

"No, does your majesty have any concerns?" Duke Garrick did not know what he was planning or what madness the Mireraweth emperor was going through. At the same time, they did not care if he was losing his mind as long as they did not try anything funny to them and their family.

"I've gotten this evidence that a servant had gone into one of my concubine's quarters and killed her." The Mireraweth emperor told them both in a calm tone.

"What does that have to do with us?" Duke Garrick could see that there was something fishy going on. There was no doubt in his mind now that they were being summoned to the palace. Along with being the center of the attention whereas the other officials were all taking a step further back as if they knew something big was going to happen. "The servant had the Graves household emblem that they dropped." The Mireraweth emperor looked to one of the guards who tossed a handkerchief that had the Graves's emblem on it. 'You have no way out now, Duke Garrick.' The emperor had been waiting a long time to get rid of him, and he felt as though it was a good time to do so. 'You've taken away the woman who I should've taken as my empress, but you had to steal her away from me!' The emperor had been in love with Duke Garriack's first wife, but he could never have her.

"Your majesty, we've been-"

"Nonsense! Have them all arrested and executed for assassinating the royal concubine who was carrying a child of royal blood! We cannot afford to let the curse take place upon this kingdom!" The Mireraweth Emperor had no intention of listening to their explanation. He had planned to get rid of the Graves Household sooner or later. The guards had gone forth towards Ambrose and Duke Garrick who took out their swords in defense.

Both had their backs against one another looking at the guards who surrounded them from every side. "Hey, would you be so kind as to fulfill this old man of yours with a single promise?" Ambrose didn't know what his father was planning, but he was hoping he wasn't planning anything stupid while they were in this situation. Ambrose nodded and glanced at his father who smiled grabbing him by one of his shoulders. "It's about time that you claim your throne."

Without expecting it, Ambrose heard his father call out his beasts silently that appeared out taking a hold of him. Ambrose was dragged and tossed out hitting the ground outside the throne room. The doors had been kept wide open with the guard coming into the throne room to arrest them, but neither of them expected one to be thrown outside.

'What is this old man thinking?!' Ambrose thought his body was kind of sore from the impact. 'He isn't thinking about taking them all on, is he!?' Ambrose did not know what his father was thinking by taking action on his own without telling him his plan.

"Fulfill my promise!!!" Hearing his father shout out to him, Ambrose did not think that his father would want him to make that promise.

Ambrose could only watch as the door to the throne room had been forced closed by his father's beasts who were willing to die by their master's side till the end. 'Is this old man crazy?!' Ambrose couldn't believe how stupid his father was, but the doors to the throne room were sealed shut with the guards trying to get out. 'You old man! You better be alive no matter what!!!' Ambrose knew that they were all now in great danger in Mireraweth's kingdom if they stayed any longer. Making it back to his father's mansion, he had summoned Lucia to take him back seeing that their mansion was completely raided by the soldiers. Gladly, his brother and sister-in-law along with his niece had been taken away before it all happened. 'Good thing that they will not be taken hostage.' Sensing something come in his direction, Lucia had formed a crystal shield to cover them both from the incoming fire arrows aimed at them. Dodging the few attacks coming at him, Ambrose turned to look at the Mana Hunters who were working alongside the Mireraweth emperor since their master was working with the emperor. Lucia flew dodging the arrows with Ambrose trying to attack them back. Hitting each one of them, he then came face to face with their master, the sorcerer. 'So, this is who I am up against.' Ambrose was finally able to meet the man who was behind everything and all the trouble.
