Beatrix did not go to the place where Prince Andrew indicated to secretly meet... Contrary to his thought that she chose to ignore his letter because she wants to marry his imperial brother, the letter did not even reach her! It was accidentally destroyed when his secret messenger met another powerful person who wants his life for a personal vendetta!

The secret messenger successfully killed his opponent but the letter was turned into ash during their fight! This messenger feared for his life so he purposely lied to his master that Lady Beatrix received the letter. After that, he ran away to a faraway place praying that his lovesick master will not find out about his deception in the future or else, he is dead!

Prince Andrew patiently waited for her in the meeting place but she did not show up. It broke his heart even more as the trusted people of his Father Emperor found him and told him that it is time to go.

The emperor assigned five trusted high-ranking people (one general, one imperial advisor, one minister, one imperial scribe, and the head eunuch) and one hundred trusted shadow guards to accompany Prince Andrew to Solaris Empire or more specifically, this is Prince Anders' suggestion to their Imperial Father to safely guard and assist his beloved Imperial Brother in his newly assigned task and ensure his success for the benefit of Sky Empire!

Others will feel assurance but Prince Andrew knew better... This is another interwoven trap!

First, it is to ensure that he will actually go to Solaris Empire and diligently do the almost impossible task under the strict scrutiny of both the Solaris and Sky Empire's factions! Any strange and wrong movement can be considered as high treason and punishable by death!

Second, it is a strategy to easily assassinate him while he is traveling and away from the capital of Sky Empire thereby securing the throne!

And last but not the least, it is an effective method to make him stay away from his Imperial Brother and Beatrix!

In the end, Prince Andrew was forced to go to Solaris Empire without the opportunity to say goodbye to his beloved Beatrix. He suffered while he was away but he managed to avoid all the dangerous traps and several assassination attempts!

During his stay in Solaris Empire, he accomplished several things:

First, the completion of the Imperial Treaty between Solaris Empire and Sky Empire.

Second, he received important reports about his Imperial Brother's strange behaviors and actions all these years confirming his suspicions.

Third, he finally got a hold of a very significant poison antidote that only a certain poison genius in Solaris Empire could successfully make.

Lastly, he saw Master Omega again! He told his master about his Imperial Brother's strange behaviors and Beatrix's sudden change. His master told him a very strange story and then came up with a very disturbing theory in the end...

"I will only tell you this story once and I won't blame you if you would not want to believe it but this is a true story that no mortal beings knew..." Master Omega sighed and continued.

"Long ago, I and my brother, Alpha, were chosen to serve under the same powerful celestial being named Psi, the Goddess of Fate and Destiny..." He started sharing his experience with Prince Andrew, trying to recall things that happened several millennia ago.

"Our Mistress, Her Celestial Greatness Psi, was blessed with everything by the Celestial Great Creator. Her rank, authority, power, and abilities were just below the Celestial Great Creator..." He simplified to make sure that his human disciple will be able to understand.

"She taught us... Both me and my brother of everything that we knew... She wrote the two books called Forbidden Arts and Dark Arts and entrusted the book of Forbidden Arts to me while she entrusted the book of Dark Arts to my brother..." Master Omega recalled the beautiful and powerful goddess and the times that he and his brother spent with her.

"All the things that I taught you were originally taught by her and the two books are very dangerous just like her... Other celestial beings called her 'The Bringer of Fortune and Misfortune', 'The Catalyst of Creation and Destruction', and her most known title was 'The Captivating Face of Death." Master Omega stared at his disciple blankly like he is in some form of trance.

"I told you long ago, you need to find my brother's disciple... That person is equally dangerous as you! He could be your greatest friend or your worst enemy! Based on what you told me, your Imperial Brother is exhibiting the behaviors of a dark art practitioner! Hopefully, I am wrong and your Imperial Brother is not what I thought..." Master Omega said seriously to Prince Andrew warning him of impending danger and disaster if their suspicion is correct.
