Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

Chapter 217: Struggle for Dominance (Part-1)

Waking up in the morning, Kai was yawning and feeling sleepy as he walked outside the room while rubbing his eyes to welcome the new day.

The bright light of the dawn falls on his old face and white hair, robbing his sleepiness away and feeling his body with new energy to carry out his long day works.

Walking around he found that the night shift hours are about to end and day shift servants are getting ready as they move around.

Kai also went to the bathroom and did his morning ritual like brush and bathing.

Coming out of the public bath of man section. Kai was about to wear his old white robe, he saw the man in charge appearing out of nowhere who stopped him from wearing them and handed him a new set of robe with a gentle smile.

Knowing and unknowingly Kai had already heard the name of this man. Carlos strange.

It seems he has quite a high status among the servants and is greatly trusted by the king.

Meaning he is not a simple young man as he looks.

A person who is trusted by the king only means either he has been serving him for a long time or he has special skill and has gained the acknowledgement as well as proven his loyalty.

Kai already suspects that he is a hidden powerhouses who keep a watch upon the activities of the royal servants and is not young as he looks.

Yet, he has no way to confirm it nor able to sense any magic power in his current state.

He gladly accepted the hospitality of Carlos without trying to dig deep into the matter.

"Prince and princess have been invited, sir, to the royal palace and are expecting mister to arrive by 8am after completing your break. So, please don't go anywhere and wait at the entrance of the housing residence."

"What..? Crown prince Altonio what to meet this old man but why?"asked Evaron(Kai) with astonishment.

He cannot think of any reason for the crown prince to be interested in meeting him aside from his friendship with his elder sister.

'Is he still suspecting me of being involved with the terrorist activities.'thought Kai with doubtful feeling and looked at Carlos.

"I can't reply to mister questions. I have only been told to deliver the message and led mister to the royal palace."

Kai nodded. He didn't suspect that Carlos was trying to hide something from him.

Although he had lost his cultivation and other abilities temporarily, he had not lost his natural ability to judge the character of a person.

After wearing his new clothes, Kai went to cafetaria to eat his breakfast and pick up his tray to get his food, when suddenly he started feeling dizzy as his breath quickened and fell unconscious on the ground.

The tray in his hand is full of food as it hits the ground and makes a loud sound attract very one's attention.

Tang Tang Hhhnnnggg

Everyone was surprised on seeing the old man who some of them have never seen. While some recognise the old man.

As they ran and surrounded his body in panic, nobody knew what to do.

"Who is this old man? Is he a new worker? Has anybody seen him before?"shouted the middle aged servant.

Most of them shocked but some of them recognised.

"Yes, he is the old man who was brought by Sir Carlos and he was very respectful to him also?"

"Yes, Sir told us that the old man will be staying with them for a night and not to disturb him. Aside from that we don't do anything."said the maid with a red cheek.

While an experienced and calm elderly servant knew what to do and first checked the pulse of Evaron and found it was ok. but very weak his body was also heating up causing the servant to conclude that he has high fever and is in a very weak condition.

"Somebody go and inform sir Carlos and others help me carry him to his room and bring some wet clothes and ice."

Hearing that everyone quickly left and others carried Evaron to his room and put him slowly on his bed but his body temperature continued to increase with no sign of stopping.

Sometime later, Carlos entered the room followed by a group of servants who were all anxious.

Carlos looked at Evaron laying on the bed and touched his forehead to feel the temperature and was shocked.

'How is this man still alive and how did it happen? I just saw him ten minutes ago and he was looking healthy and fine."

Carlos turned to look at the servant with keen eyes.

"Can anybody explain to me in detail. How did this old man ended up in this stage?"

Everyone nodded as one of them explained to him what had occurred before.

Listening to the story, Carlos looked at Evaron again with confusion.

'I need to inform, princess about it. This old man was brought by her and given me the responsibility to take care of him.'

He turned and looked at the maids.

"You two stay here and take care of him. Others go and get ready for your work, I am going to the royal palace to meet with the princess.She would decide what to do next."

Hearing that, the crowd quickly dispersed leaving only two maids to take care of Evaron.

Carlos on the other hand, hurried to the royal palace.

[Inside the Royal Palace]

King Danlit Theothia, Queen Elizabeth Theothia and their two children.

Crown prince Antonio and Princess Ava were eating their dinner on a long table full of a variety of food and fruit with servants moving around serving them.

King Danlit was a middle aged man whose appearance resembles his son but instead had evergreen hair like his daughter with join eyebrows and fine moustache and the golden crown on top of his head wearing a fancy red coat with a side cape.

Queen Elizabeth also resembled her daughter with long curly golden hair and light makeup.

When suddenly they hurried the knock on the dinner hall door.

King Danlit was displeased but heard the hurried voice of Carlos from the other side.

"Your highness, please let me in. I need to deliver an urgent message to the princess."

King Danlit looked at his daughter whose face was hidden by her hood but judging from her body reaction was able to judge that she also was confused.

"Come in."

Coming inside, Carlos hurriedly bows to Danlit.

"Forgive me. Your highness for disturbing your breakfast."

"Don't worry about that. Why are you seeking Princess Ava and look so anxious? What had happened?"

Ava also looked at him with a curious expression.

"Princess, the old man who you took me to take care of had sudden fallen ill and his body temperature is increasing at a fast rate."

"What?"

Ava stood up in surprise, Antonio also raised his eyebrows.

Danlit and Elizabeth looked at their children with doubt.
