"You are even more good-looking than the rumors around you."
Liang spoke to Azrail, his eyes seemingly lighting up as he gazed at him, which kind of felt creepy to Azrail, but he kept his calm face, his hand still wrapped around Valencia's, feeling her heat and love for him as he spoke.
"And you are as amazing as you are told about, Emperor Liang."
Azrail's nonchalance, his high demeanor, the eye contact all being one that seems to speak to people that stand on the same range of standing, and as always, a lot of people, ones running for the bootlicking, didn't like it at all, but before they could even open their mouths, Liang did.
"Well, that makes me happy, hearing such things from a genius of such level is always welcome."
With the Emperor speaking, the rest of the chicks could only shut their mouths.
"I find it quite sad that I don't seem to meet your eyes first, Emperor Liang."
Yun spoke, her voice calm, yet the power within it seemed to have exceeded Azrail's range, this time true rage starting to bubble all around, some could take Azrail's if what was said about his strength was true, then he had all the might backing him up to do so, but for a woman that couldn't stand in front of the Emperor a few days ago to look high and say this?
Now, that's the scene for many brain-dead idiots to jump into the scene, but once again, Liang didn't give them any chance at all as he spoke with a light smile on his face, his eyes leveling with Azrail's mother.
"I have heard a lot about your beauty and mind before, I am glad to see all of them were true."
"You have no idea..."
Yun replied with a smirk, Raena standing beside her looking the emperor up and down with a nonchalant gaze, seemingly not putting him in her eyes. Thus, Liang turned to Raena as he spoke.
"And this must be your charming company, you don't seem to have a full name. You are Miss Raena...?"
Raena smirked at the words of the Emperor, the approach being a bit too direct, but that only seemed to be liked by Raena as she responded.
Valencia replied, her hand still coiled around Azrail, sticking to him. But the moment her words came out of her mouth, they flowed smooth as silk, soft as a baby's whisper yet very charming. Several of the people hearing her voice went into a daze, them being especially young, no doubt their hearts were already closed. Not just that, the small speech from Valencia even caused several hurt members to slowly get themselves healed!
And Liang wasn't one to miss all of this as he spoke back, helping the Empress to her stands.
"No, I think you are very special. It would seem that the mood is spoiled here a bit, why don't we change all that?"
As Liang spoke, he lightly tapped his fingers. The moment he did, several people burst in, all of them dressed in certain alluring clothing and all of them being women. They were accompanied by several musicians holding their instruments. Not just that, the rest of the soldiers outside moved in, quickly starting to treat the unrest around, making sure to bring everyone back to normal.
'Guess he was already prepared.'
Azrail mused as Liang guided his entire group directly to a much more well-centered part of the room, it was stacked with powerful and luxurious seating, rising to the top of the ceiling. The seating was perfectly arranged to give his members a good sense of power within the place, thus everyone soon took a seat in the place.
Liang took one side of the arrangement, and the Empress sat next to him, she being a beauty as always, her eyes cold yet calculating as she looked at his group, but Azrail could see through her inner block. He could see the same greed in her that was rising within Liang, all of it being pointed towards Valencia. He is there in the picture, but their gazes moved towards their one way ticket to a future that many living in this realm dream of.
Side by side towards the Imperial family, sat the rest of the princes. Not everyone can take seats because Liang has lots of kids, only the most important ones, who already have distinguished themselves from the norm, take a seat. The now contending princes plus princess took a seat, their normal arrogance reined in, but unlike the controlled greed of the rulers, Azrail could see the burning greed in the stupidity boiling in them.
Just like the rest, all of the princes and princesses look beautiful and graceful, their presence is a bit overwhelming to anyone else. But Azrail's mother took it in strides, her aura too bursting out. After the teaching by Adria, she has changed, the presence of someone higher up flowing out of her. Thus, her aura didn't lose out to Liang at all as she took the lead to speak.
"The ball is nicely arranged."
Her words made Liang smile while making the rest twitch in distaste.
"Haha... indeed, I am happy you like this."
Liang spoke with his smooth tone, that flash of his eyes along with the emotions blooming within his soul didn't take long for Azrail to understand the play happening within that man's heart.
'Huh... that's never gonna happen.'
