Chapter 2213: 25.103 Lone Black Star - Situation at the Empire
After getting stabbed in his chest, the Crown Prince, Ye Qinya suddenly woke up in reality and puked blood which shocked everyone, especially the doctors when they saw his highness suddenly waking up in such a state. Him being injured as soon as he woke up, meant that he was injured by something in the Crown Princess’s soul domain. Most soul injuries also affect the physical body. That’s why when the soul is injured, most healers would treat the soul first before the body. Because as long as the soul is injured the physical body would be greatly affected.
Cough!
"Your highness!!!"
Everyone had panicked when they saw the Crown Prince puked blood as soon as he woke up. This situation had suggested that he had indeed suffered some injuries after entering the Crown Princess’s soul domain. The doctors and healers scramble to treat the crown prince. After all, if his soul is truly injured the only person who can cure him is none other than the crown princess. The power level of the highest grade sentinels is not something an ordinary guide can heal. This time not even the duchess or the imperial empress can treat his soul injuries or mental contamination for him.
The Crown Prince looking around the room and realizing that he had come back in reality immediately tore off his robe to check on his chest. He just remembered how his crown princess had stabbed him on his chest with an expressionless face. It was completely different to when he first met him. At least at that time when they had met, he never had that proud and aloof demeanor as if he was a god overlooking the mortal world looking down on everything. Ye Qinya hated that version of Ye Caoyun. To that version of his crown princess, he is nothing but a strange not worthy of looking at. That’s how he felt at that moment.
The way the crown princess was stabbed was instant and deadly on point. It was an attack that didn’t have any murderous intent. He simply killed him because Ye Caoyun feels like it. The same feeling when killing a bug for passing by. That’s how Ye Qinya felt when he had met the eyes of his Crown Princess in that soul domain.
Cough. Cough.
"I want to try again! Let me go back and enter Yun’er’s soul domain!" Ye Qinya demanded with blood tainting his lips and his eyes bloodshot in unknown sadness and anger.
However, the doctors and healers didn’t agree to his request right away and tried to calm him down instead. They tried to talk him into it after all, but his state is not right for him to enter someone’s soul domain. It would be better if stabilized himself first before reentering that other world.
"Your highness, please be rational. Your mental state right now is not stable. You might not be able to enter the crown princess’s soul domain at this moment."
"Please think twice, your highness! You are the supreme commander right now! Waking the Crown Princess is not impossible but your highness we cannot lose you! Who would lead the people in this place if something happens to you?"
"The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are both important. But no one will survive in this place if both of you are down. Please think twice before doing something!"
"Here drink this and calm down for now. The Crown Princess is sleeping beside you. No worries about him disappearing."
Sigh~
After taking a cup of cold water to calm his mind a little, this royal highness speaks, "Alright! I understand. I will take a short rest and try again later," the Crown Prince, Ye Qinya said as he leaned back on the head of the bed and closed his eyes for a short rest.
However, even with his eyes closed that expressionless face and emotionless eyes staring at him was something he can hardly forget. It was the face of the person he loves the most in this world suddenly staring at him like he is a stranger. The uncomfortable feeling in his heart made him anxious, that even though he is supposed to be resting, his eyebrows were frowned as if he was suffering some kind of nightmare.
By the time he had opened his eyes once again from that nightmare, Ye Qinya was covered in cold sweat and his whole being was tense. He wipes his sweat and reaches out to drink water, then finally realizes that more than a few hours have already passed after checking the current time with his terminal.
"I’ve been asleep for this long?" The Crown Prince mumbles as he stood up and noticed another empty cup beside the cup he had just from just now and thought of something.
Ye Qinya picked up the cup and smelled it. The lingering scent tells him that this cup had some sedative medicine added to it. No wonder he had fallen asleep right after drinking that water. It seems that to force him to calm down, the doctors had drugged the water which instantly put him to sleep after drinking. He was a bit annoyed that he schemed at. However, thinking that it was all for his sake. He decided to forget about scolding the doctors.
A few while later, as if someone had noticed that he was awake, the doctors had all come to check on him. Seeing that the crown prince was staring at them, most of the doctors had frozen under Ye Qinya’s gaze. They knew that the crown prince must have realized what they had just done and was waiting to be scolded by their crown prince. He also chose not to blame them for this offense that nap had indeed freshened up his mind.
"Prepare it again. I will enter the crown princess’s soul domain." The crown prince said. This time no one stops Ye Qinya from trying to wake up his own crown princess.

At the Empire, in the Imperial Royal Academy...
After hiding with the imperial empress in the premises of the royal academy, the Imperial Emperor, Ye Wang, had been given enough time to contact his people in the empire. They were warned beforehand that the unique ability of the Third Prince, Ye Di, was something capable of manipulating the minds of those who had fallen under his control. He had longed to stop holding back when the Imperial couple had escaped from the underground.
At the moment, the Imperial Emperor and the Imperial Empress had gathered all of their people and summoned them in batches. Only those whom they had trusted the most were called. They are still hiding in the academy while the Third Prince tries to enter the military headquarters. Ye Di still thought that the emperor and the empress were under the protection of the military itself and hadn’t stopped attacking them.
The Imperial Couple had taken their time and once again took over the Imperial Palace while the Third Prince had gone to target the Military. By the time, Ye Di realized that Emperor Ye Wang had indeed taken back the throne that his situation at the empire had gotten dangerous. Emperor Ye Wang had told the whole empire about the third prince’s special ability. How it can control anyone as his puppets and how he had used this ability to force the royal family to the corner.
The fact that the third prince, Ye Di, had been imprisoning the third prince before the Imperial Couple successfully escaped from him had spread in the whole empire as well. It didn’t take long for the current third prince to become the most hated person in the whole empire. The imperial couple’s plan to capture the third prince had failed many times. Because of his ability to control others, it makes the third prince, Ye Di, harder to capture. Most of those who had chased after him were either killed or were commanded to kill themselves.
It was only when everyone realized that the control effects of the Third Prince’s ability was only useful when one had heard his voice. It took many sacrifices before they decipher the weakness of such a strange ability. When the third prince learned that his ability’s weakness had been found, he had chosen to escape from the empire. Even hijacking a civilian ship that had brought him out of the empire’s control. Eventually he had chosen to join the space pirates fleets and took over the largest fleet planning to attack the empire in the future.
But after the Third Prince had left, the empire had once again become peaceful. Eventually, those who were controlled by him over the time had all slowly returned to normal. They were thankful to learn that the control effect of the third prince’s unique ability wouldn’t last long as long as he the controller is not around. However, before the empire can enjoy this short piece another bad news was reported to the empire’s royal family.
With the messenger looking terrified, he finally reported, "Reporting to the royal family, the scouts had found a small planet approaching their empire. It was invisible at first and only when it had gotten a bit closer did they realize what it was."
"What is it!?" The Imperial Emperor asked.
The messenger asked, "The small planet is a small insect nest from the Zerg Clan!"
