The man was a personal guard of Princess Rita. He obviously wouldn't disregard information handed from this guard even if the source was Saito.

After this task was over, Saito sat beside Rita and touched her lovely face. Her skin was very smooth. He started to make circles on her face with his finger.

He lightly gave an order to another guard, "Bring me some food. I want lots of food." His stomach was grumbling like crazy and his body was feeling rather weak right now.

One of the guards left the shadow and went to the Royal Kitchen. A few maids followed back the main as they brought a lot of food for Saito.

As Saito stared at the food, he couldn't help but dig in. There was no gracefulness while he was eating. He was too hungry to care about that.

After eating, he fell down on the bed next to Rita and sleep soundly. The personal guards remained silent and continued to monitor the two of them.

Rita woke up around an hour later and noticed a comfortable aura near her. She was delighted to see that Saito was sleeping next to her.

She opened his arms and placed her head on his chest while her arms went around his body. She snuggled into his chest but Saito didn't seem to notice and was still in his deep sleep.

They both stayed in that posture for 2 hours before Saito slowly opened his eyes. His hands were on Rita's back and he slowly moved them up and down while caressing her.

Rita mumbled something to herself and also woke up. She had a bright smile on her face, "I was so worried for you these days. What happened? Did you also fight against someone?"

Saito slowly caressed her back and calmly answered, "Don't be so excited. Yes, I did fight someone. The two were very strong. I had to use all my strength to kill them."

There was a small smile on Rita's face as she stated, "My husband really is strong~ I heard from his father that the people who appeared in the Underground Prison were very strong. At most, I would have been able to defeat only 3 of them before my magic exhausts."

Saito thought about Raul's power and indeed, Rita had sufficient power to defeat 3 people of similar strength as Raul. Though he couldn't say the result if someone like Lyle joined the fight.

Rita could win against Lyle if it was a one vs one. He wasn't sure about it since it would mainly depend on how the two of them used their powers.

He gave her a smile and replied, "Of course I am strong. I already sent the information about their location to the King. Now, his majesty shall decide what will be our next move."

His words relieved Rita and she snuggled together with him, "Great! This would be for the best. I am sure that Father can act now that he has the information about their location."

He gave her a nod since he thought the same, "Yes, that is right. I also extracted the information from one of their men that your siblings are okay. They aren't treated too badly… The reason your Second Brother's wives and children were killed, it was to threaten the king that they could kill princes or princesses at any time."

There was a hint of rage on Rita's face as she spoke, "They will pay for acting against us!" Saito kissed her cheeks and calmed her.

There was a short smile on Saito's face, "Remain calm. We may have to prepare to go out and fight against these people. Don't show too many emotions in front of those people. They would be able to make use of your emotions and control you."

"I have you to protect me." She said like a spoiled princess she was. She rubbed her head on his chest while Saito remained speechless.

He let out a sigh a while later and says, "Well, it can't be helped. Who told you to be so adorable?"

He started to tickle under her arms which caused her to start laughing. They spent their time together for half an hour before someone knocked on the door.

Saito wrinkled his brows as he heard the knock and wanted to bring Rita's attention to it but Rita didn't seem to care. She seemed to be ignoring it…

Once again, the door was knocked. This time, Rita spoke in a threatening voice, "Who is it? I am busy right now. If you don't have a good reason to disturb me then scam before I cut you into pieces."

Even though the person outside had come here due to the Emperor's orders. He couldn't help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva in fear. He knew that if the Princess wanted to kill him then nobody in the palace could preserve his life.

Saito flicks on her forehead and said, "No threatening someone. Let's hear him out…" Rita let out a painful whimper, "ow… Ok, since you say so."

She spoke with a clear-cut voice, "Speak… What is it that you want?"

The man wiped the sweat running down his face as he spoke out, "Princess Rita, the King has called out for Sir Axel to come to his chambers. He wants to talk to Sir Axel about something very important."

He wasn't surprised when he heard that the Emperor wanted to talk to him. Saito was waiting for this. He looked at Rita's face and noticed that she was glaring at the door.

Saito though pats her head and speaks, "I will return as quickly as possible. Don't worry, I am sure its just about the information I gave him."

Rita nodded her head. She had a frown on her face as she stared at Saito leaving her room. She wondered why her father only called out for Saito and couldn't help but be worried for him.

The Emperor's chamber was quite some distance away from Rita's room. He continued to walk for half an hour before they finally reached it.

The man knocked on the door and loudly said, "I have brought Sir Axel, your majesty." He seemed a little nervous as he was outside Emperor's Chamber.

A very calm yet voice wielding authority was heard, "Come inside. The door is open." Though the words were simple, Saito felt as if they gave him enormous pressure.

It was unlike their first meeting. It seemed as though the Emperor wasn't really concealing his strength right now. Internally, even he was a little anxious about meeting with the Emperor but he remained calm.

Both of them entered the Emperor's chamber. The servant gave a bow to the Emperor before he was dismissed by the Emperor's signal.

The servant quickly left the chamber, leaving the two of them alone.

Saito remained quiet as he stared at the Emperor seated in front of him. He looked like he was around 43 or so years. There was a trace of elderly aura around him which made him look even more respectful than before.

The man's grey hair was very long and reached down his back. His sharp silver eyes contained incredible power and Saito felt as if there was nothing he could hide from this man.

Yet, at that same moment, he unconsciously released his own aura which had been evolved after getting the Golden Dragon's Bloodline. The intimidating aura from the Emperor dispersed as he noticed a weak smile on the Emperor's face.

"As I thought." The Emperor slowly muttered as he stared at Saito with a soft expression. Saito didn't understand what the Emperor meant and asked, "I apologize your majesty however I do not understand what you mean."

The Emperor's smile remained on his face as he spoke, "Come sit here and have a game of chess with me, Axel. We have a lot to talk about."

These words made Saito cautious of the Emperor. He wanted to refuse but he couldn't. The only thing he could do was be ready for any situation.

He sat in front of the Emperor and both of them started playing chess. The Emperor didn't say anything regarding why he called out to him.

They were completely engrossed in their game. On the surface, the Emperor seemed to be on the losing end but if someone looked closely. They would realize that the Emperor had arranged his pieces in some very particular positions which had formed a formation.

Saito had to think about the consequences of each one of the pieces before he could make a move. He wasn't the best in chess but he could still manage to give a great match to the top chess players.

However, right now he understood the difference between him and the Emperor. The Emperor was someone who would actively participate in the strategies to fight a war.

He was very proficient in the art to attack and defend. There was no hesitation when he chose to sacrifice his pieces to make his plan move forward.

This was indeed something that Saito lacked. The decisive nature. Saito was someone who had fought a lot since coming to this world but he had not led troops nor had to create any strategies to fight against an army.

He was good in tactics that required him to fight alone or with a small group only.. Soon, the Emperor managed to corner Saito's king and won the game.
