Country H…

Six-years-old prince Seiji and his beautiful and elegant mother were leisurely resting inside a luxurious villa after roaming around the lively city of Gyoza for days. They spent two weeks visiting the tourist spots happily and even though little Sei was a bit uninterested, he was happy because his mother was enjoying despite the absence of his cold father.

Sei was young but his way of thinking was far ahead from his age. That was why, he could already tell the absence of love and care in his father's eyes. There was nothing in his eyes but greed and thirst for power. Causing Sei to swear within him to protect his dear mother at all cost because he somehow felt that his own father will never show any love or care for her.

"You… sigh… what kind of book are you reading again? I told you, try reading these fairytales. Those books are for old men and not for a cute little boy like you, you understand? Here, read this… since you don't like it if I read them to you, I'll just play a piano to boost your appetite to read them. Okay?" Princess Fei gently said as she took the book entitled 'The future of technological advancement' and change it to a book entitled, 'beauty and the beast'. However, the little prince just stared at the book's cover with blank uninterested eyes before he innocently looked at his mother.

"Mom, do you dislike that I'm very different from everyone?" he asked, causing his mother to just ruffle his hair gently as she leaned over.

"Listen little Sei… to me, you are different and nobody in the world is better than you. You are amazing and exceptional, and I'm really proud that my lovely son is such an intelligent person but… I just wanted you to experience the essence of being a child the normal way, do you understand?" she lovingly explained and Sei just nodded.

He never wanted to displease his mother so he obediently opened the book. However, upon reading the words 'once upon a time', he immediately breathed a deep breath of boredom and he raised his head. And the moment his mother started playing the piano, he closed his eyes and leaned his head at his chair's arm. Until eventually, the only words in the book that he actually read were 'once upon a time', before he fell asleep as he listens to his lullaby.

The day of Sei's birth day finally arrived but no Zhao Meng came. Fei couldn't describe how hurt she felt, she knew there's no love between them at all but she couldn't believe that he actually doesn't even care about their son as well. Rage and hate started forming in the good princess' heart.

She's been tolerating everything that her husband was doing all those years for the sake of Sei but that moment, she felt as though she finally reached her limit.

She wanted to cry and curse him but because Sei was beside her, she could only swallow her intense heartbreak.

Fei then decided to do the celebration as planned even without that good-for-nothing husband-by-name husband of hers.

However, that same day, chaos suddenly started to unfold one after another as though they were suddenly teleported from a peaceful world to a chaotic one.

Fei received a call from her husband but the word he said instantly froze her in fear.

Zhao Meng told them to go back home immediately. Telling her that Country H was already in a state of chaos.

The city of Gyoza was far from the capital and they felt no unrest and danger, however, scared that the unrest will spread, Fei could only move in haste.

Fei then immediately left their villa praying that they could still leave the country before everything is too late. But on their way to the airport, a deafening loud sound halted everything. And when a huge dark smoke ascended to the clear blue sky, everything went as though, all hell broke loose.
