The second prince's banquet had a gloomy atmosphere compared to a normal banquet. First, the nobles who were called over had no choice but to co to this party. After all, their families and clans sided with the faction of the second prince and the first princess.
The dinner was so heavy that the guests could hardly eat properly. However, in the eyes of the second prince, the careful actions and silence of the guests reflected a submissive deanor toward himself, and he liked it a lot. He is quite a narcissistic person who likes to look down on those under him.
"It's good that everyone has arrived today. There is sothing I need you to do."
"Find a way to summon the little rmaid king. I need to et him myself. You should be able to think of a way, right?"
"You won't be so useless that you don't even know how to do such a thing? At least I believe that I don't have soone stupid as a subordinate."
So of these noble young masters were there with him during that auction that night. They saw the appearance of the rmaid king and heard the warning in his words. Thus, it won't be hard for them to understand what the second prince is trying to say.
However, most of them love and respect their little rmaid. There are even so who treat their rmaids as family. But they can't openly revoke the evil plan the second prince is indirectly commanding them to do. So, they can only shut their mouth and pretend to listen when in reality all the words of the second prince enter their right ears only for them to co out on their left ears.
The thoughts of the guests in the area
'Did the second prince go insane? Why is he indirectly commanding us to harm our own little rmaids!?'
'Can't he do it on his own? Ah, right. How can he do it? The rmaid king threatened them with their lives if they ignored his warnings.'
'Of course, there is no way that the second prince will do anything against the threat of the rmaid king. After all, it was he who wanted to et him.'
'This prince not only sees the little rmaids as tools but also us, descendants of the families that served the second queen.'
'Is he insane!? How can he ask us to torture our own rmaids just so he can forcibly summon the missing rmaid king.'
But it cannot deny the fact that there are so people among the group who are indeed loyal to the second prince. The type that is loyal to this evil man and is voluntary to follow all his evil plans.
"Your Highness, leave it to ! My clan has received the little rmaids from your side and will definitely do as you command."
"Hmm? Did I give you a command?" said the second prince. This is obviously a warning for the young master to take back his words about him giving commands to the little rmaids.
The young master caught up imdiately and took back his words, "Oh, of course not. Your Highness hasn't given a command. I am just annoyed by how useless the stupid fish at ho is and how it needs to be punished for his foolishness."
A aningful smile appeared on the second prince's face, which was imdiately covered up by an intentional frown and worry on his face.
He said to the young master, "This young master should know about the warnings from the rmaid king. His words don't seem like a joke."
Snorts~
The young master declares, "Who the hell is afraid of a talking fish!? Those little rmaids should know their place and just serve their masters. Singing a whole day must be a must! Or else what's the point of buying such a tool?"
Upon achieving his goal, the second prince pretended to be angered by the young master's words and instantly sent the guests away, pretending that he was annoyed by the young master's arrogance.
"Alright. My mood had worsened. Everyone can now take their leave and go to their own businesses," said the Second Prince.
Everyone left the second prince's banquet after what Prince Rion wanted to do had been achieved. Though not every one of them did as he requested, at least there are so fools who are willing to sacrifice for his sake alone.
No one responded, and all took off after being permitted to leave. However, most of these young masters looked at the foolish young master who was chosen to sacrifice himself just so he could summon the rmaid king.
After most of the guests had left, the first princess approached her brother and asked, "Brother, will that young master be able to summon the rmaid king?"
"He should be. The question is whether the rmaid king will appear or not," said the second prince.

anwhile at the General's mansion...
The chief warden and Lieutenant Shaka had returned from work. The clean-up after the intruder had taken a while as there were many injured soldiers during the escape of the intruder, who killed the puppet of the general.
"Greetings to the General and the rmaid King!" said Lieutenant Shaka.
Hei Anjing said, "Welco back. Shaka, you can go ahead and check on your little rmaid. He should be able to speak a few words now."
"Please excuse !"
Lieutenant Shaka showed a delighted look when he heard about this good news. He imdiately saluted the couple for the second ti and took his leave.
After Lieutenant Shaka had left, the Chief Warden started his report for the day.
"My Lord, Lord Hei, the intruder at the headquarters might be an outsider like us. He was using a teleportation scroll that can only be exchanged with points through the system mall."
"The teleportation scroll had left traces of the Hei Clan's imprint as a maker. He is definitely an outsider," the Chief Warden reported.
Ye Xiajie asked, "Did you know where he had co from?"
The Chief Warden showed the imprint on the uniform he grabbed from the intruder before he completely disappeared. It was a royal imprint only a royal guard was allowed to wear.
Colonel Lou showed the imprint. "This is sothing I took from him at the last mont. It's a royal family insignia."
"Whose insignia was it?" asked Ye Xiajie.
The Chief Warden responded as he had investigated everything before returning to the general's mansion.
He said, "It's the Crown Prince's bearing."
The God of Destruction comnted while holding a banquet invitation from the crown prince himself. The insignia on the invitation is completely similar to the insignia the Chief Warden had shown to them.
"Oh~ this is quite interesting," said Hei Anjing.
Ye Xiajie asked, "Is Baby interested in eting the Crown Prince? I can bring him over for you."
"No need. Let's go et him together instead," said Hei Anjing. "There is already an invitation. It's a waste not to co."
"Well, I will go with you," said the God of Void.
With that, the couple decided to accept the invitation from the Crown Prince and attend his banquet as per the invitation shown.
The God of Destruction said, "Let's forget sothing that had been decided. How is the situation in the headquarters? Have you cleaned up all the pests (spy)?"
"Yes, Lord Hei. It's not that hard to find them among the crowd. That intruder was the last of them. However, he was only pointed out when he tried to touch the puppet of the general, and the staff thought the general was hard, which led to the situation of him escaping," said the Chief Warden.
The God of Void said, "Are those fools trying to check whether I am truly awake or not? Maybe I should make a declaration and appear before them."
"That can wait, my love. We must check the crown prince first. After all, I had a feeling that he might not be the only world hopper in this world. It would be alright if it's only an ordinary world hopper; it would be annoying to have world destroyers in this kind of world where remnant resentnt souls of Ancient Gods exist," said Hei Anjing.
Ye Xiajie frowned when he heard that the resentnt soul of an ancient god was ntioned. According to the mories returned to him by the Ancient God of Chaos, those kinds of souls are deadly even for high-ranked gods like themselves.
After all, the primordial souls of ancient gods are the hardest to defeat. Those things cannot be easily defeated by divinity alone. You need a fire that can purify one's soul until there is nothing left behind, especially for evil souls from the origin of chaos itself.

This is also the reason why the World Eater had stolen the God of Void's vessel. He cannot fight those things without a vessel, or he will be devoured by them. Those things target anything born from the chaos, especially those connected to the Ancient God of Chaos himself. Only by eating sothing from the chaos they can regain their previous mories and strength before their deaths.
With a frown on the God of Void's face, he asked, "Doesn't that make you a target as well, Baby? After all, you have connections to Hunluan."
"I do not need to worry. After all, you will protect , won't you, my love?" said the God of Destruction.
Ye Xiajie hugs his wife and declares, "As long as I exist, nothing can harm you ever again, Jing'er."
