The main gate of the Huang residence is wide open waiting for the arrival of invited guests. One by one the guests began to arrive by carrying gift parcels that were carried by their respective servants.
The butler checks all the party preparations, from the decorations to the food menu that will be served to the guests.
Prime Minister Huang was still busy examining the reports piled on the work desk. Seriously he read one by one the reports he received from his aide.
He is indeed a figure who is very concerned about work, Even on his birthday he still had time to think of a job that might be for some people will be left aside first.
Ye Yuan met the butler to make sure all the party necessities had been prepared perfectly without any mistakes. After he was sure everything was safe and in control, Ye Yuan headed to his father's study.
"Honorable Prime Minister, it's time for you to host the invited guests." teased Ye Yuan who had just walked into Prime Minister Huang's study.
"It turns out it's time, right? It seems I'm too serious to work until I forget the time" said the Prime Minister who began to clear the documents.
"Let's go together!" take Ye Yuan with you after Prime Minister Huang finishes putting the table back together.
"Has your sister come?" asked Prime Minister Huang while walking to the party room.
"Yet, I haven't seen Se Se yet, maybe he's a little late" Ye Yuan replied.
"Father misses him a lot." muttered Prime Minister Huang.
"Dad, I also miss meimei a lot" Ye Yuan said after thinking for a moment.
"Somehow is it now, it feels like we haven't seen each other in a long time."
The room filled with invited guests was suddenly silent when the Prime Minister arrived there. Without much ado, the party is simply started by the host.
The dishes are served warm on the table, dancers and singers take turns showcasing their talents. Meanwhile, the most awaited guest is still not visible there.
"Ye Yuan, are you sure Se Se will come?" ask the Prime Minister with a look of disappointment.
"Yes, meimei has already sent out a reply letter if he will come to this event" Ye Yuan replied.
Ye Yuan's feeling suddenly became anxious, it was not usual for Se Se to come late without prior notice.
"I hope this is just my feeling." muttered Ye Yuan.
Prime Minister Huang and Ye Yuan continued to wait for their little girl's presence, but the girl was still unseen even though the event was over.
Feeling anxious and agitated, without a second thought Ye Yuan picked up a horse from the stable. He quickly drove his horse towards the residence of King Wei.
Upon arriving at his sister's residence, Ye Yuan was informed that Se Se left for the party in a horse carriage with two bodyguards and one coachman.
"What about King Wei?" asked Ye Yuan with a worried face.
"When it's about to depart, there's a call from the palace for His Majesty to see the Crown Prince immediately. So the Empress left unaccompanied by Her Majesty." replied one of the bodyguards who served at the gate.
Hearing the news, Ye Yuan's anxiety grew even more. "Could something happen while on the road?" muttered Ye Yuan.
While Ye Yuan was busy with his mind in a state of turmoil, there was the sound of horse footsteps approaching his direction. The horse stopped right in front of him.
"What brought you to this place?" asked King Wei who had just jumped down from his horse.
Ye Yuan immediately looked at King Wei, a sense of anxiety and fear was visible on Ye Yuan's face. The hand that was pulling the horse's reins had already started to look trembling.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" asked King Wei again after seeing Ye Yuan's reaction being judged troubled in his eyes.
"Se Se...!" ye Yuan was beheaded.
King Wei's eyeballs grew as soon as he heard Se Se's name coming out of his mouth. He subconsciously held onto both shoulders Ye Yuan then asked in an agitated tone.
"What's wrong with Se Se?"
"My little girl... He didn't attend father's birthday party" Ye Yuan said brickly with a bewildered look.
King Wei retreated his steps backwards, "A...What do you mean? Se Se has not arrived at Huang's residence?"
Could he have suffered a disaster?
Could he have met a street bandit?
Could he have been kidnapped by someone?
Could it...
Could it...
King Wei shook strongly on Ye Yuan's shoulders, the man immediately regained his senses to see the reality he now had to face.
"Calm Down! We need to find Se Se as soon as possible!" said King Wei.
"Yes, I'll look for him now!" answer Ye Yuan.
King Wei divided the members of the Eagle Army into three groups. Each group will search for Se Se in a different location.
"Reply report quickly if you find the slightest clue!" king Wei's Order.
Yu stood silently staring at his superior who was giving orders. Inwardly he asked, "Is it possible for something to happen to the Empress as the two most powerful Eagle armies escort her?"
"Yu, you will lead group two!" king Wei's Order.
"I refuse!" yu replied firmly.
King Wei looked at Yu.
"I will be by His Majesty's side no matter what!" said Yu.
Yu's gaze looked confident in his decision, he would not obey King Wei's order to part with him in the search.
King Wei sighed, he then said, "Yu, this is not a game where you are allowed to choose, don't be stubborn and just follow what I've ordered!"
"I know this is not a game, therefore I will always be a protector to you Your Majesty." replied Yu with a serious face.
"Yes!" snapped King Wei who was getting annoyed.
"I'm sorry Your Majesty, I've promised the Empress to always be by His Majesty's side. The empress had awakened me during the last incident. So, I will not let Your Majesty fight alone without me beside you!" yu was without fear.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Dark, where is this? Am I dead again?
"Sir...!"
"Sir...!"
"Sir...!"
Water droplets?
Wasn't I on my way to Dad's? Right, that horse carriage was stopped by a killer.
I didn't know what they wanted, but seeing their attacks always centered on where I was, it seemed like I was their target.
Then... Who exactly is the one who wants to kill me?
Why would he want to kill me?
It's too dark, I can't see anything here. My head hurts, my right hand hurts too. I don't even have the energy left to move a finger. Am I going to die here?
