"The Empery of the Kim is at your disposal, your Highness.", I bowed down to the Queen Moon Erene, the daughter of the Orients, the respected leader of the Dynasty of the Moon.

She nodded at us, her strict and cold aura giving us chills. "I only need one thing from the Empery of the Byul. The Empery of the Kim will be on another note", her dark eyes then pierced through me, as if getting into my soul, "I want you to protect the one thing that will change Inferós from the day I die."

The day you die? "Anything, your Highness..."

"Protect my children, especially my youngest and currently heiress, Jung Yerin, for she still has a lot to learn.", she raised a brow at us, testing us if we were nerved from her presence but we did not waver, "There will be a day that I will be no longer there to protect her. So I will assign this specific Empery to do it on my behalf."

"Of course, anything, as you wish, your Highness..."

"And for her brother... after my eldest's treason, I would assign the Empery of the Kim on behalf of my name..."

"Where is she?", the mighty Cronus asked me, his harsh voice colder than usual.

I bowed with respect. "She was with the great Athena before her death, your Highness."

I saw how he closed his eyes shut in pain and sorrow and took a deep breath. "How is my granddaughter?", his voice became softer and more worried.

"She... well⎯⎯she had her episodes, your Highness...", I cleared my throat, "Sh-She distanced herself from living her own life and buried herself in her studies and training. Her father insisted she go out and make friends but she was stubborn. He also asked her to go see a Psychiatrist but she was hard on her ground. A lot of them were worried, your Highness..."

"And her missions?"

I looked away. "She insisted to go on different missions thrice a week. Emotionless and strict. Very well respected. As she said, by the age of 18, her plans in joining the FBI was firm and final. I did my very best to convince her, your Highness... but she quite⎯⎯stubborn. And brutal, very brutal, indeed."

I heard him sigh. "That stubborn girl... just like her mother.", he whispered the last part but I didn't intend to hesr any of it. "Being part of the FBI will bring her more harm than she already has. Why must she follow on about her father's legacy? That man is no longer worthy in my eyes!"

"Appaji!", a harsh and cold voice echoed in the empty space. I recignized that voice immediately.

My body ran cold, my heart started racing and my palms were sweaty. I immediately bowed down hurriedly. "Your H-Highness...", I addressed in a low tone. A tone where he could not hear me at all. Cronus nodded at me and gestured me to go along.

I composed myself and tried not to get affected at all. I immediately walked quickly with my head down low, letting my hair cover my face. I sense his stare on me but I did not waver. I took a turn and stayed there, knowing that Cronus would call for me once his grandson was gone.

I almost sighed in audible relief. Stop.

"Yes, my grandson?"

"You called, remember?", he coldly asked.
