Chapter 169 - Path Of Destruction Part Four
"Ignore her. We should get going." Sei interrupted Yuthia as she tapped the air in front of her with her finger, all the while Yuthia was looking at her as if she had just been betrayed. "Although we do not need to worry about the girls who have been captured thanks to Yuthia, we still should be careful. There is no telling what will happen. So I only opened a portal right outside the city."
"Then let\'s get going." Creige said as he took Kana\'s hand, pulling her through the portal.

The capital of the Botus Empire. Sitting high up on his throne was a middle aged man using his hand to support his head as he lazily looked down at the two men in priest robes. "You came rather quick. But that is fine as well."
"Your Majesty, jests. We came because we wanted to warn you. Although I detest saying this, It would be best to just give up the beastkin this time around." High Priest Randles replied, the corner of his lips twitching the entire time.
"Oh? Now, why would the Church of Yuthia suddenly give a warning about such a thing when your doctrine has always been about enslaving beastkin because they were nothing but mongrels who were the spawn of demons and devils. You take my empire too lightly!" Emperor Botus yelled, causing the power inside him to surge. The two priests began to sweat as a huge pressure slammed down onto them. It was a fact that the emperor of Botus was stronger than the pope!
"Your Majesty, we only came to give a warning because our Pope did not want to see a human nation fall. Do you not find it weird that our Pope is not taking advantage of this situation?" High Priest Randles asked.
Emperor Botus got fell into thought for a moment before things seemed to click in his head. "I will trust your pope this one time. You may leave."
Emperor Botus watched as the two priests left and sneered: "Matthews go tell that useless son of mine to release all the beastkin he has captured. And that the one named Kiliffia should not be hurt or touched in any way. If he has already done something to her, bring him before me. I will use his head as a method of apology."
"Your Majesty, are you really giving in to the demand of those filthy beasts?" One of the emperor\'s officials asked.
"Do you think I want to? I have no choice if even the Pope is afraid to move in this situation. That pope of theirs doesn\'t like me too much as it is, but yet he still sent a warning. This means that the Rural Kingdom is not as weak as it seems. They did fend off three a massive army of aligned nations plus attacks from the church\'s high priests. Although my empire is not weak, that massive area magic attack is not something simple. From what I know, a dragon has appeared in the Rural Kingdom. If I am not wrong with the way the Rural king was acting, the little girl who I spoke to was said dragon." Emperor Botus explained. Once he did, the officials understood why their mighty emperor, who would not back down for anyone, was willing to concede this time around.

In the back palace in a large courtyard, a fat young man with three chins was rubbing his hands together as he went to open the door to the room Kiliffia was in. "Hehe, to think I would find such a gem. I can\'t wait to hear the sounds she makes as I am… What the hell! Why can\'t I open the door!?"
"Your Highness, there is a message from his Majesty the Emperor." A eunuch and a long group of imperial guards came walking into the fat three chinned young man\'s courtyard.
"My Royal Father… What does he want!? I am kind of busy right now. Why won\'t this damn door open!?" The fat three chinned young man continued pulling on the door as hard as he could, but no matter how hard he pulled, he couldn\'t open it!
"Your highness, you are to let all of the filthy… Ahem, beastkin you have captured go, and out of all of them, the one named Kiliffia, a young fox girl is not to be touched in any way." The eunuch paid no mind to the angered look on the fat three chinned young man\'s face. He turned and began giving orders. "Gather up all the beastkin in this courtyard. His majesty said no matter how many there are, what condition they are in, they must all be set free. The one locked in this toom there is to be healed and taken care of with the utmost respect. If anyone is found to have handled the filthy… Ahem, the fox girl in any way that would harm her, you will be cut at the waist."
"What is the meaning of this! You dare take my prized possessions! You even dare to take the one I deemed suitable to be my wife!?" The fat three chinned young man yelled out. He ran over to the imperial guards trying to open the door to the room Kiliffia was in and pushed them aside. "You are not to touch my future wife!"
"Your highness, if you keep acting like this, you will be arrested for going against the emperor\'s decree." The eunuch said without a single thread of emotion or respect in his voice. He could care less for a useless prince who did nothing but eat all day.
"Humph! I will go speak with Father Emperor!" The fat three chinned young man quickly waddled off towards the emperor\'s palace. The imperial guards and the eunuch ignored him as they continued their work. The fat three chinned young man did not care about the other girls, but he must keep the fox girl. He had never seen such a beautiful fluffy girl before. He wanted her more than anything. She was to be his wife!
As the fat three chinned young man left, an imperial guard ran over to the eunuch: "Eunuch Ming, we have a problem. The doors… The doors are locked, and we can not enter them no matter what we do! we can\'t even enter through the walls nor the windows!"
