Chapter 164: A Rightful Punishment
The house Sebe gifted to Yale and his family was near the palace like all the other houses the royalty had, so Sebe managed to lead everyone into there in a short time.
“Listen. I will go to speak with father right now; I won’t let those two to do anything to you. Shirk, you help them to anything they ask, I will come to pick you later after having talked with my father.”
Sebe didn’t wait even one second and ran towards the palace because he knew that those twins should have gone directly to meet with the king. He was with such a rush that he forgot to take out the Bloodline Fruit Tree.
Sebe reached the throne room where his father was and entered after the king gave permission to him.
“Father…”
Sebe was about to start explaining when the king smiled warmly; his expression was the opposite he had when he met the twins.
“Well done Sebe! You fulfilled your mission perfectly.”
Sebe was shocked, he hadn’t said anything about the mission, but his father already congratulated him for fulfilling it.
“Don’t be surprised. The expert behind your friends already come to visit me and told me the situation. Those two who attacked your friends are really a disgrace for the royal family; I already punished them.”
The words from the king were something Sebe hadn’t considered, he forgot that the expert could have gone to speak directly to the king and was easy to know who will the king believe; one was an expert of unknown power while the others were two members of the royal family who only tarnished the name of the royalty.
“I am sorry, father. I was too annoyed after that situation, and I rushed here without thinking about that possibility.”
The king laughed at Sebe’s apologize.
“There is nothing to apologize, that shows that your friendship with them is real and that is the most important. Listen well, that expert just appeared before me with an incarnation, and I was unable to discover anything about the other party, not even the true power of the other party. Although hiding everything from me in an incarnation is easier than in person, to be able to remain hidden from me even in that state means that the expert behind your friends is at least near to me in strength.”
Sebe had already estimated that Yale’s background was powerful, but hearing his father’s words, that expert was more mysterious than he had thought.
Sebe thought that probably the expert would be someone who had advanced to the Rank 9 a short time before, but the king was far more powerful than someone who had just advanced. That could only mean that the expert was a hidden expert who had been living isolated from the world for a long time.
“Father, was that expert the one who asked you to punish those two?”
Sebe knew that someone with a level of power near to the king wouldn’t forgive such offenses without any consequence.
“That person was good enough to tell me to just punish them instead of killing them. Well, they always acted like beasts in heat, so killing them wasn’t a bad option either.”
The king knew very well that those two sons of him were trash, but they were still his sons, and he had difficulties to get rid of them although he knew that they deserved death for their continuous wicked acts. The king was strict with his words, but he didn’t like harming his family.
Of course, when someone had provoked an expert with a similar level to himself, that family love disappeared completely, he was a king before than a father, he wouldn’t let a war happen due to two incompetent and perverted sons.
“Father, may I ask what was the punishment for them?”
Sebe was curious about that, and his friends were the ones offended by them, so he felt that wanting to know that wasn’t wrong.
“Oh, right. Since they were acting like beasts in heat, I treated them like we always treat beasts in heat when we don’t want them to reproduce. At least they won’t be able to have children nor continue with their usual acts, maybe that will be worse than death for them.”
Sebe hated those two, but he couldn’t help but shudder when he heard the punishment, that was extremely cruel for a man and more for people like those two.
However, Sebe felt that the punishment was perfect for them, they did a lot of wicked acts in the past, but they wouldn’t be able to continue after such punishment.
The chances of having children with half-beasts of different bloodlines were extremely low for the members of the royal family, even when both parties had lion bloodlines the nativity rate was still low.
Thanks to that, those twins didn’t have any children before they lost the possibilities of having them. After all, they didn’t dare to touch other members of the royalty, and with others, their chances were too low.
“I also revoked their status as princes and burnt their hair; they lost the right to succeed me. Instead, I gave them the title of Twin Eunuchs and set a new rule that will force everyone to call them by that name.”
Every son of the king had chances to succeed him unless the king personally revoked that right. The Twin Eunuchs would still be part of the royalty, but they would never have the chance to rule the Anpaes Kingdom, and that title would remind them of their status forever.
Burning the hair was just a method to leave them bald forever, for those with a bloodline related to lions, having long hair was important, but those two would never have hair again. After all, the king used natural healing to ensure that the punishments couldn’t be undone.
Moreover, after losing their status as princes, their social position would be lower than Sebe and the other princes, even inside the royalty everyone didn’t have the same status.
If two princes fought over something they were in equal conditions, but if a member of the royalty without a prince status try to fight with a prince over something, the winner is the prince disregarding anything else.
The Twin Eunuchs couldn’t speak without respect to Sebe or go against his orders if they were in front of him, disobeying would be an act of treason to the crown.
“Thank you father; I am sure my friends would be happy to hear that the Twin Eunuchs had received those punishments.”
Sebe bowed to his father and left the throne room in a good mood as in the end he didn’t run out of luck, that incident only ended with repercussion for the two trashiest members of the royal family who deserved those punishments.
Moreover, those two would be seeking death if they try anything against him or people under his protection, Sebe had to admit that his father had thought very well about the punishment.
Sebe returned to the new house of Yale and his family. He had spent only a little time with his father, but the previously empty house was already filled with the belongings of Aiwai’s previous house.
“You are really quick. Oh, I still had your Bloodline Fruit Tree, just tell me where do you want to put it. No one would dare to steal anything from this area.”
The new house and the others in that area were in the highest part of the city only under the palace; it was well-known that everyone who lived there had some kind of connection with the royalty and that stealing anything form that area was the same as angering the royalty.
“Just put in the inner garden, it is too big, and there is too much free space. More important, what happened with that topic, you seem to be in a very good mood.”
The house was far bigger than Aiwai’s previous house and was also fully equipped with training camps, different kinds of hot springs, a pool, and an enormous inner garden; it was more like a mansion than a house. Sebe was sure that the new house didn’t lack anything they had in the previous one.
“My father is a wise man; he punished those two. It seems that your background went to speak with him even before I went, I was worried for nothing.”
Yale was relieved that the king wouldn’t become his enemy, but he was worried by another thing.
“Who is that expert who is acting as our background? We don’t have someone like that!”
Yale shouted those words in his mind, he knew that their background was a fake one created by misunderstanding the Bear Overlord’s death, but Yale also knew that Sebe wasn’t lying. Yale was starting to consider that the king was the one who lied to Sebe, but he felt that it was also wrong.
At that moment, Yale remembered that a mysterious fortune teller was the reason for Aiwai being able to find him and Wyba, Yale couldn’t discard that the same person acted again on his behalf. Believing the existence of that fortune teller was easier than believe that the king was lying to create a fake expert supporting Yale’s group.
