"Your Grace!" Thirteen senior officers of the Orlis Empire military, all with a respectful expression, gathered in the conference room and greeted the man at the entrance with the highest etiquette of the empire.
"No need for pleasantries, I just want to know the result!" The man, known as Your Grace, sat solemnly at the head of the meeting.
One tall person among the thirteen stepped forward and placed the blue light card in his hand on the center of the conference table, instantly displaying all the information on the table.
With a formal tone, the person spoke, "The cause of the black night that engulfed the entire Azure Blue City three days ago has been confirmed!"
"It was caused by the War of the Divine Fire, right?"
"Yes, indeed. The epicenter was Azure Blue Sky Academy. Although the school tried to conceal it, the impact of the entire incident was too great to be completely covered up."
"What was the reason?"
"Because of love turned to hate!"
"Hmph! Such a boring reason."
"However, the main focus of the whole incident is not what has been mentioned above. It's the emergence of the least recorded Divine Fire in history, the Crimson Black Demon Fire. Based on past experiences and records, anyone who possesses the Crimson Black Demon Fire is an extremely dangerous individual at the level of a Demon King. According to the first line of the 'Prophecy of Sotus' - 'When the sun is high in the sky, the sky will be blackened by flames, surpassing the Demon King, the one who will bring chaos to the world will descend again.'"
Sotus, the most outstanding prophet a thousand years ago, his prophecies have never been wrong! However, his remarkable abilities always drew the envy of heaven and earth. At the age of 30, Sotus died at his own birthday party. Before his death, Sotus made his final prophecy, known as the "Prophecy of Sotus' Demise," which encompassed his life's energy to predict the world a thousand years later, which is now. Under the influence of the "Prophecy of Sotus' Demise," every child born with the Divine Fire is highly valued.
The problem is, a person born with the Crimson Black Demon Fire has gone unnoticed.
"What do you mean?"
"That person is definitely the future leader of the demons!"
"Do we have any information on that person?" The man slowly flipped through the documents.
"No!"
"Huh? None?"
"Everyone present had their memories wiped, and it was done with great skill and thoroughness. No one remembers anything about that person, except for everything else related to that person being perfectly intact and under a prohibition. Until that prohibition is lifted, it is impossible to attempt to restore their memories."
"..." The man suddenly looked at the personnel information in the documents, his eyes filled with strange and incomprehensible emotions.
"Put aside the task of breaking the prohibition for now! First, completely seal off this matter. Use all the power of the empire if necessary to suppress any news related to the Crimson Black Demon Fire."
"Yes." The tall man immediately left the meeting.
"Ah Long, arrest Situ Ming immediately and find out where he got the forbidden medicine."
"Yes." Ah Long, who was named, also quickly left.
"Is there anything else to add?"
"Yes, news of the disappearance of the Third Princess two years ago has been received, but I believe we should not take action for now."
...
The meeting continued for another half an hour before it ended. Your Grace returned to his mansion, where the powerful and vigorous character "Qin" stood in front of it.
Qin Fengyu, that's his name. A demi-god-like existence at the level of a prime god, and also a recognized pure and innocent beauty. There were no traces of age on his appearance.
Stepping inside the gate, the vast and beautiful garden was both solemn and elegant. Qin Fengyu looked at the little girl on the swing in the center of the garden, who appeared to be around ten years old. She had an innocent and angelic face, with flawless, snow-white skin and captivating big eyes, making her irresistible.
"Nina," Qin Fengyu went over to hug the girl without hesitation. "I'm back."
"Why did you come back so late today?"
"Of course! That kid's matters are quite troublesome."
"He is after all our child. Why do you always call him 'kid'?"
"Hehe! Does it matter? I just want him to live a peaceful life, but he doesn't want to stay quiet. I wonder if he's feeling itchy!" In front of the little girl, Qin Fengyu had no air of authority like in the meeting. All that remained was a gentle expression and light teasing words.
"Has he, at least, not turned bad? Ah!"
"Even worse than that, he's simply incorrigible. He actually used the Divine Fire in public. Doesn't he understand how serious of a problem that is? If we don't handle it properly, he might lose his life.""This... This is so difficult, wahhh!" Nia started crying without realizing it.
"Okay, okay! Stop crying. If it were me, don't you trust me? With me around, that guy won't die, absolutely!"
"Really? You're not lying?" Nia clenched her little fist in front of her chest, looking so adorable that Qin Fanyu couldn't help but pat Nia's head.
"Yeah! But during this time, he better not cause any more trouble."
"Ah!" Nia yawned.
"Take a rest! You're still young."
Nia slowly fell asleep in Qin Fanyu's embrace, her breathing soft and even.
Looking at Nia's cute face, waves of black fire surged in Qin Fanyu's hand as he solemnly declared, "Don't worry, even if it's a god, anyone who harms my family will die!"
Half an hour ago, "What you all need to do now is keep a close watch on Princess Li Liu—Zi!"
