Overlord Empress - Chapter 57 ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL CLAN MEMBERS PART 3

Everyone who received the news and are in or near the city, gathered close to the city centre. The number of people gathered, easily surpassed the entire city population. But still, they maintained proper discipline, not giving trouble to the city guards and officials.

Just then, the teleportation portal lit up, revealing 2 people Yang Ye and Kuro. Yang Ye is a middle aged looking person, with a fierce bloodthirsty aura, complementing his status as a Great General of the Empire. He is 7 ft tall and dressed in traditional white cheongsam.

As soon as they appeared, all the officials and citizens did a proper customary greeting by bending their torso’s. Kuro was surprised at the massive attention he gathered. He was supposed to stay low key.

‘well, looks like I can’t stay low key anymore. Change of plans then.’

“Brother Yang, I never expected to receive this kind of response. I remembered you only informed your clan members. But, here the entire city is present before us.”- Kuro

Yang Ye was also shocked by the number of people present. As a Great General of the Empire, he and Kuro participated in a lot of war meetings and are on good terms with each other. He met Kuro accidentally at the teleportation portal, where he learnt, that Kuro is moving towards Greenwood City, which was also his initial destination in the first place. So he invited Kuro to go together, as Greenwood City is one of the cities under his control. He quickly sent a message to the Elders in the Greenwood city about their arrival. Only, when he questioned Yang Qi, did he learn that, the news was released by one of the official’s wife and created a chain reaction.

“Sorry for the unnecessary trouble brother Kuro , this was clearly not my intention”- Yang Ye

“Well it’s ok, the news regarding me is gonna leak anyway, as I am planning to stay here for more than a week. You see today’s media is so scary, you can’t hide any news from them”- Kuro

Yang Ye was glad, that Kuro took this matter in a positive note and his respect towards him increased even more. He also decided to stay in the city and accompany Kuro during his time here and play a good host to him.

After that all the Officials, Mayor, Yang Ye and Kuro started to move towards the City Lord palace in a leisurely manner, while Kuro started to greet back to all the citizens, who greeted him. There were even some crazy ladies, who proposed to him openly, while few hot blooded youths requested him to take them under his wing. Overall it was an embarrassing moment to both Kuro and Yang Ye. Just as they were in sight of the City Lord Palace, they met a familiar face, Clark Moor.

Clark Moor was famous in the Empire, as he is the only known friend of Prince Zetsu and Princess Astarte. Despite that, he never exploited these connections and remained true to his job as a reporter. Those, who know about him, has to give him some kind of face, just based on his character only.

“I thought, you were in the capital covering the event news, Clark”- Kuro

“He he, yes. I was there until 2 hours ago, when I heard Lord Kuro is coming to this city. So I came to a few conclusions of my own of your visit, to this city and wanted to confirm them on my own”- Clark

Kuro had a bad premonition regarding this matter, as this Clark had a unique gift at finding news.

“What do you want to know?”- Kuro

“Maybe it is not the right place to discuss, as you are here for a very good reason.”- Clark

‘Sigh, he clearly knows about my goal to some extent by now’.

Then he turned towards Yang Ye and requested him, to take them towards the Mayor office room, while the remaining officials are to be excused for now.

Yang Ye did as he was requested, while all the officials moved towards the dining hall, as they will be waiting for Yang Ye and Kuro there. Yang Ye, Yang Qi, Clark, Yang Xian and Kuro moved towards the Mayor’s office.

Once they reached the office, the chairs were arranged in a circular manner on the request of Kuro. The office was also completely sealed away.

“Before we begin, Clark tell me, what do you know first?”- Kuro

“Lord Kuro, I think you are here to receive hidden Royal family members of the Uchiha clan, I don’t know their numbers, but I am at least sure, they are second generation members”- Clark

*BOOM * except Clark, almost everyone’s mind exploded at this news. Even Kuro didn’t expect this. A war veteran like Yang Ye was also shocked to his core. All of them turned towards Kuro, as if expecting his confirmation.

“You are right Clark. So I expect all of you to keep quiet about this, until the Empress herself reveals this news to the world.

As for you Clark, you can be on my side, to record the news, but only allowed to broadcast the news after Empress permission.

This is a very serious matter, as you can expect it by my presence here. If anything were to happen because of your mishap, then I can guarantee, the very next day, this whole world will cease to exist. You people, don’t want to happen that do you?”- Kuro

All of them, nearly fainted at this information. Finally the other royal members are going to make an appearance and from Kuro’s serious tone, they can guess, that these members are extremely close to the Empress.

As for Clark, his fate was to be a prisoner by Kuro’s side until all of this is settled. But he was also happy, as he can get a close shot at all these royal family members.

“Brother Kuro, if it’s ok, can you reveal a bit of information about these members?”- Yang Ye

Suddenly the whole office room went silent, as Kuro went into thinking mode for a long time. Only after almost 30 minutes, did he started to speak.

“There are total 3 members, they are arriving through Greenwood forest as we speak.

The Eldest of them is Shisui Uchiha, cousin and also, once the leader of Empress special guard.

Second is Itachi Uchiha, twin elder brother of Empress by 4 minutes.

Third is Kin Uchiha, son of the Empress, Possibly Crown Prince and the future Emperor of the Empire”- Kuro

This time Yang Qi and Yang Xian really fainted, as their hearts can’t take the shock anymore. While Yang Ye and Clark, were barely able to hold on with their willpower. From the beginning, they expected the members to be core members of the royal family, but this surpassed their expectations.

One is a cousin and ex leader of the Empress guard, Second is the Empress, own blood elder brother. But they were shocked at the identity of the third person. Son of the Empress and future ruler of the Empire? This news alone, will shake the entire Empire, if it is revealed to the outsiders now.

Yang Ye and Clark took deep breaths to calm their nerves and woke up Yang Xian and Yang Qi.

“Brother Kuro, Isn’t Prince Zetsu the likely candidate for the throne, as he is the 2nd influential person in the Empire and is by the Empress side for a long time.”- Yang Ye

“Nope. Prince Zetsu will never accept to become the next Emperor. The only reason for his existence is Empress.  He would prefer to walk by the side of Empress through heaven and hell, rather than enjoying the riches in the Royal Palace. Same goes for Empress cousin and her elder brother.”- Kuro

For the first time, both Yang Ye and Clark felt complete respect towards Zetsu. Afterall, who in their right minds would decline their claim to one of the strongest and wealthiest Empires in the world.

“Yang Qi, I will be acting as the Mayor, when those 3 arrive in this city. You just need to play the part of being my secretary at that time. You wouldn’t mind this would you?”- Kuro

What do you mean by that Lord Kuro? Look at my brother’s eyes, he will kill me for sure, if I decline your offer.

“My Lord, I will be happy to assist you at that time”- Yang Qi

“Hmm, Lord Kuro, why do you need to act as a mayor, when you can just receive them at the gates and move towards the capital?”- Clark

“Because, the news about Master being the Empress is only known to the elders of the Royal family only. Those 3 didn’t know about this. This time, the Empress wants to play a prank on them, by enjoying their actions. You don’t want to spoil the Empress fun, right?”- Kuro

Kuro completely made up a story about the elders. While the remaining 4 were also interested in this game. Also for the first time, they learnt about the Empress funny side, Who always maintains a poker face.

“Brother Kuro, you don’t mind if I join this game right?”- Yang Ye

“Well as long as you don’t reveal their identity”- Kuro

“Thanks brother Kuro, now I can also test the fate of my Yang family.

Yang Qi, summon the Blood Guardians, Eldest Miss and the young masters to this city. You know, what to tell them right?”- Yang Ye

Yang Qi was also surprised at his brother’s move. Blood Guardians are the Elite soldiers of the Yang family, who went through countless battles. These days, they only interfere during emergencies only.

Yang Yeung, is the eldest daughter of the Yang Ye. She is a complete tomboy, as she is born in a military family. She is extremely gifted in the martial arts field, while abysmal poor in etiquettes.

As for the Young masters, they are also completely gifted and hard working.

“Brother. Leave this to me, I will make sure, they will be in this city by tomorrow morning”- Yang Qi

“Lord Yang, I never knew, you will be the first to make a move on Prince Kin.”- Clark

“I spoiled her too much in her young age, that it became difficult to find a husband to her. So let’s see how this will go on. If I am lucky, I will get good husband for my daughter and enough bragging rights in the imperial court, against the other clans.”- Yang Ye

After that, they chatted for 2 more hours, before heading to the dining hall.
