    Kylo looked at Rosalyn who was sleeping peacefully besides him, while thinking about how it all started.


    And the reason he is now on bed with Rosalyn is because.


    [Everything was nned] Kylo thought with an evil grin on his face.


    Evian, the man who bid against him was the king of the biggest kingdom in the continent.


    The kingdom was big enough to bepared with few declined empires or poprly known as the fallen empires. These fallen empires are the ones who are no longer at the peak and cannot threaten any peak or stable empire by themselves.


    And one of the major reason was because of Empire Armament. An empire armament alone is enough to topple a small kingdom... as long as that kingdom does not have support of some real powerhouse.


    There are many reasons why an empire would decline. One being decrease in poption. Empire armament, no any armament works based on the poption.


    (Author Note:- Armaments will be exinedter.)


    Second reason being arge efflux of talents. Talents does not just mean genius cultivators but also those intelligent in politics.


    Then the fall of Empire can also be rted to an ''injured'' armament. And many more reasons.


    But they are by no means weak. No ordinary kingdom would dare to offend an empire, even if it is a fallen one.


    But even these empires had to tread carefully in front of Evian. Of course, even Evian had to respect them.


    Many might see this as peak of a kingdom. Most of the kings would be happy being a king of such arge force.


    But Evian was not. Deep inside in his heart he wanted to be an emperor. He wanted the power of the empires.


    [And that is where we took advantage of...] Kylo thought about the n he made with his friends.


    It took him more than a year but he finally took something important from him.


    [His wife.] Kylo''s eyes shone with hatred. Hatred towards Evian remembering the humiliation.


    None of the hatred was directed towards the sleeping beauty beside him. Because though she is the man''s wife he hates, she is also the reason he wasn''tpletely humiliated and exposed.


    He might have started a fight with him. And with help of Bai Yishan and Nichs Dumas maybe he would have escaped, but he had to pay a price!


    A price which he would not like to offer.


    Evian, in all honesty, never was a suitable candidate to be the king. In fact he never was the crowned prince of this kingdom.


    The reason he became the king despite there being more suitable contenders was because he had married Rosalyn.


    Her family was not a big one in this kingdom. But they had influence over the entire continent. The wealth they had, even if they could not bepared with the Auction House''s, they were at least in top 5 in the continent.


    Initially Kylo send Nichs Dumas to Evian sneakily and made Nichs give him an offer.


    An offer to be an emperor.


    [Of couse, there is no way that bastard would have believed so easily.]


    But he did. There were two reasons.


    First he made sure to demonstrate Nichs'' power. Indeed Nichs was strongest in the group.


    And even if that wasmon power in front of the real elites of the kingdom, the second act Nichs did made Evian believe in them a little.


    Nichs had himself act subservient to Evian. Acting to be someone''s subservient is not easy. Every person has an aura rted to their personality.


    An emperor has his regal bearing, an assassin will have a lonely aura, a psychopath will give of a crazed vibe, a mass murderer will have heavy killing atmosphere around him.


    Of course not anyone can discern these auras. But only people of high position can. They had seen every kind of person and to be at the top you need to atleast have discerning eyes so as not to fall to traps easily.


    [But that is where Uncle Dumas is exceptional.]


    Nichs Dumas was already an evil cultivator before he joined Kylo and was wanted by the world. He had to be flexible to every kind of atmosphere to mix in so as to not get caught.


    It was different from Kylo. Kylo was used to loneliness so be could always flee whenever he was alone. That was the reason it was difficult to catch him.


    But Nichs Dumas was someone who could not bear loneliness due to his past trauma. That was why he needed someone to talk and be friendly with.


    But with his status as evil cultivator it was impossible. That was why he would mingle with people and adapt to their auras.


    [And that was why even Evian was not able to see through him.] Kylo thought with a smile... a mocking smile.


    And if that was not enought, Nichs Dumas'' acting made it impossible to make him some suspect. Then they carried out an act.


    He carried out an act of he was just a lowly member belonging to an evil organization who are not from this continent trying to slowly take over it.


    Needless to say that was a bluff. The organisation was just made up.


    [But Uncle Dumas, even though he is a good person, there is a reason why he is known as Evil Cultivator.]


    Indeed, it was his cultivation technique that was evil. But then again no one can me people, since they believe mostly what they see at first sight.


    [After all ''first impression is thest impression''] Kylo thought with a sigh.


    And he won Evian''s heart with the cultivation technique.


    Evian himself was not that powerful. It was his kingdom''s elites that were really feared.


    But to practice that technique, there were two methods. One that can produce results in short term and another long term.


    [And we all knew that greedy bastard would choose the short term.] Kylo stood and walked towards window of the room in the lodge they were currently at.


    And that short term method needed dual cultivation. But that was not it. Even if it is dual cultivation, there is a limit to how much it can increase your power.


    [But that is where Uncle Dumas'' technique is unique.] Rays of sunlight shone on Kylo''s handsome face as he looked towards the sky.


    As long as a person continues to dual cultivate with differentdies his power would increase.


    [And that was the reason why he started having manydies.] But of course, bringingdies to his own house was Kylo''s idea.


    That was why Kylo''s lips twitched when he heard Rosalyn saying to himst night about the sentence ''I will be an emperor gradually, so you better be ready for a harem''.


    (Author Note: Mentioned at chapter 45 when Kylo suppressed hisugh.)


    This was exactly what Kylo suggested, no he made his suggestion through Nichs Dumas about not abandoning any woman and enjoying life as an emperor.


    Of course there were also many more things Kylo did. But every step he took was the fall of Evian.


    [And this is just the beginning...] Kylo thought while looking at the sky with a slight wicked smirk.


    But with the early morning sunlight shining on Kylo''s face that smirk looked made Kylo look exceptionally handsome.


    And Rosalyn who just woke up from Kylo''s footsteps, was watching Kylo in a daze from the bed.


    Kylo turned when he felt movements from the bed.


    Rosalyn was slightly embarassed as if she was a child caught cheating in exams. And even more after rememberingst night''s events.


    Not only did she spill all her grief and secrets to a stranger she also cried like a baby on that man''s shoulder. And if that was not enough she also spent a night full of passion with him.


    "Good morning, mdy." Kylo said in a slightly teasing tone.


    And this made her more embarassed.
