Return to the Capital

One month, then two months passed, but the Necropolis Sovereign was nowhere to be seen. All the High Princes had already gathered in the capital as per Zian Yi’s command, but he himself was not present. Still, the emperor was a figure to be feared. This fear had long ago entered the hearts of all the people on the continent, and even the High Princes were no exception. They did not dare leave the capital without orders from the emperor. Since he had summoned them, only he could allow them to leave this place.

Even the Bright Jade High Prince had arrived after holding the celebrations in his city.

He had been forced to kill his family, but he understood that even this would not be a good enough excuse for him to miss the gathering.

He was the only High Prince who knew where Zian Yi was, but he said nothing. Even when the High Princess speculated about the issue, the Bright Jade High Prince did not dare tell them what he knew.
