The Tenth Prince stared intensely at the hatching of the Golden, but it seems that it was somewhat a slow process. For someone who only read the history books about this magical moment, the Tenth Prince was starting to lose his enthusiasm and interest in the Golden Egg.  Just when he was about to change his position from sitting to lying on his side, there were loud marching of a hundred soldier towards his courtyard. The Tenth Prince's bored expression harbored killing intent deep inside of his eyes, in his mind he was preparing a thousand ways to torture that no-good 'elder brother' of his. 

He slowly stood up from the floor and looked at his side to observe his sword, it seems that this sword will now break after a hundred swings. The Tenth Prince dusted off his white pristine robe before he went outside the courtyard to greet his elder brother the Crown Prince and his hundred soldiers. 

His Elder brother was the exact carbon copy of his concubine mother, with dark long hair, pale complexion, and five facial features that could lure both butterflies and flies at the same time. This guy is now wearing a golden threaded robe with the gold crown on his head. 

"Youngest Brother, This Elder brother of yours has been calling for you for a long time, why have you not come to my palace yet, Tenth Prince? Now I've already arrived to retrieve you, come now, we have a long chat to have," The Crown Prince told him with a smile. The Tenth prince only looked at his smiling face before looking down at his hand offered for him to take. 

If someone were to see the Crown Prince like this, the Tenth prince is pretty sure that it will a tale of a thousand flattery. Where the story will be entailed with jewels and precious things as if he ascended as a god for showing his goodwill in this lowly realm. 

'Tsk, just looking at his face makes me want to use my Qi to take off his mask, in simple terms, his skin,' The Tenth Prince thought and he folded his arms across his chest. This action made the Crown prince frown but he immediately put his mask back and his smile turned into an indulging one that almost made the Tenth Prince vomit, and his to bulge out of his eye sockets. 

The soldiers and a few servants in the scene saw his expression and immediately have a favorability towards the Crown Prince, as for the Tenth Prince, their faces say it all, they dislike him for being complicated and letting the Crown Prince hang his hand there in front of him. 

"Youngest brother, why are you being like this? Did someone upset you? Hurry and tell me, I will punish them for you," The Crown Prince said in an amiable tone while looking at him with a doting look. The Tenth Prince's face scrunched up in disgust and his eyes conveyed the message directly to the Crown Prince.

' Can you not show such a facade in front of me while the others are looking? In what way and what time did it help you to go closer to this prince?!'  

However, his message seems to be misunderstood because the light on the Crown Prince's eyes suddenly brightened up and he looked at the Tenth Prince with an excited look,

'Are you finally joining forces with me to be the King of this country? Hurry and tell me! I need to know!' 

With these two misunderstandings their actions and supplying themselves with their own opinions, nothing went through. The Tenth Prince scoff before he put his hands on his hips and looked down at the Crown Prince. The expression on his face was unhappy, hostile, and the bloodlust on his eyes could be seen by anyone. 

The soldiers that were escorting the Crown Prince saw the expression of the Tenth Prince and cannot help but shudder inside of their own skins. Right, who was in the right mind followed the Crown Prince to arrest this infamous Tenth Prince of this land? They must be still sound asleep right now. Someone should wake them up from this nightmare!

"Your agenda when going here, in this Prince's palace is for what, Crown Prince?" The Tenth Prince asked the Crown Prince before moving his gaze to stare at the hundred soldiers at the back of the Crown Prince. Seriously, sometimes he just cannot understand how the King and the other princes didn't even fully utilize their brains and wits to get an upper hand in certain situations, however, it doesn't really concern at all, since them being a lower being than him, the Tenth Prince, was already a stepping stone for him. 

"Tenth Prince, are you not listening to my words earlier? It's because I called for you and yet you didn't go to this prince's palace that is why I am here to get you," The Crown Prince said showing a bit of impatience. 

"Ah... Is that so? How come I didn't get any message from my servants and instead, you just run like a wild horse from your palace to mine. Crown Prince, are you that eager to see this youngest brother of yours?" The Tenth Prince asked with a raised brow. The crown Prince pursed his lips and gave a glare towards his way. 

'This guy, why is he so idle and not asking for my intentions? This is so frustrating! Talking back and forth, then what? He doesn't even invite me inside of his palace to have a cup of tea, this brat! And how dare you compare me, the Crown Prince' to a wild horse! The audacity!'  The Crown Prince thought as he started to lose his cool for the Tenth Prince's words. 

"Anyways, I don't want to waste any more of my time to entertain you, see yourselves back, You are not welcome in this palace," The Tenth Prince waved his hand and turn around towards the direction of his courtyard. 

"T-Tenth Prince! How could you show poor manners to the Crown Prince! and even chase him away! How audacious!" One of the servants who were spectating gave a hand to the Crown Prince and shouted those words. They saw him pause on midstep but he didn't look back at them. A few lower maids also joined the campaign and shouted wrongfully towards the Tenth Prince. 

After all the noises they made, the Tenth Prince looked back in their direction, his white and seemingly harmless sword was unsheathed and pointed at the direction of the Crown Prince. 

"You vermin, choose right here and right now: Life... or death?" As he said those words his tone gone deep and murderous as his eyes fully displayed his hostility towards him. Just when he thought that vermin will cower and run away, he unexpectedly dug a pit of his own grave!
