Overlord Empress - Chapter 62 ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL CLAN MEMBERS PART 8

Now it was Shisui and the others turn to be shocked. They are clearly new to this world. As far as they remembered, they never used their eye techniques here. Also they are meeting these people for the first time. So, how could they know about Uchiha clan’s ocular powers? Unless they came across one or experienced it themselves. But it is absolutely impossible, unless they came across the only ascender of the Uchiha family Ichika Uchiha.

Shisui and Itachi are still thinking the probabilities of these people meeting with Ichika, but Kin was clearly impatient to know more about his mother whereabouts. He was definitely sure, that these guys know something about his mother, based on the looks, they gave towards their clan symbol. Otherwise, it is rare for someone like paragon’s to lose their calm. At the same time, he was also happy, that they arrived in the same world as their mother’s. He Immediately reached for his storage pouch and took out 4 Photo copies of Ichika and handed it to Luke and the others.

“Lord Luke, did you come across the Lady with white hair on your journeys?”- Kin

As soon as they received the photos from Kin and went through them, it was like lightning struck all 4 of them from the 9th heaven.

First Photo is a family Photo of Ichika, Itachi, Shisui, Sasuke, Fugaku and Mikoto, with baby Kin in Mikoto’s arms.

Second photo is of Ichika and Kin as a 9yr old celebrating Ichika’s birthday.

Third Photo is of Ichika and an adult Kin, when he became the chancellor of University of Fire.

Fourth photo is of entire Uchiha main family before Ichika left Kaguya world. Ichika, Itachi, Sasuke, Fugaku, Mikoto, Shisui, Zetsu, Kanna, Izumi, Kin and Sakura can be seen huddled together while the clan symbol is also visible on a flag, flying proudly in the background.

It was like a long silence descended on the entire camp, while Shisui, Itachi and Kin can clearly tell from Lord Luke and others expressions, that they not only knew Ichika, but are also familiar with her. Only thing they need to make sure is whether, they are friends or enemies. All of them silently took out few escape talismans, incase they turned out to be enemies. They are not fools to engage against 4 paragon level cultivators.

As for Luke and others, they can clearly recognize Ichika in the picture, even without her veil. Prince Zetsu can also be seen in these pictures. It seems like, these 3 are not only from Uchiha clan, but are on extremely close terms with Empress Ichika.

Slowly all of them peeled their eyes of the photos forcefully and took a clear look at all 3 of them once again. They can clearly match few of the features of Ichika with Itachi.

“Hmm. We definitely know about her, also I swear on my honour that we are not her or your enemies. You can relax your guard”- Luke

How can a paragon like Luke not notice their movements. They are clearly on guard against all 4 of them.

As for Shisui and the others, they are very happy at finding some news about Ichika Uchiha. As if trusting them, Shisui and Itachi completely released their Eternal Mangekyo Sharingans.

After witnessing those strange tomoe shaped rings, Luke and the others are totally convinced of their lineage as Uchiha Clan members. All of them took their previous seats, for a second round meeting.

“The lady in the Picture is Ichika Uchiha. So what is your relationship with her?”- Luke

The whole world is blind to any personal information related to Empress Ichika. So how can Luke let go of this opportunity, when he can get first hand information from her family itself.

As for Shisui and others, they totally let their guard down after hearing the name Ichika Uchiha. They only showed the photos, but never gave out her name.

“I am her elder Cousin”- Shisui

“She is my twin younger sister”- Itachi

“She is my mother”- Kin

When Shisui mentioned cousin, it didn’t garnered much response from them, apart from few ‘ohh’s’. But when Itachi and Kin mentioned Sister and Mother, all of their minds blanked for few seconds. Lilly even almost slid down her chair.

They are not only members of Royal clan, just based on their relation with Empress Ichika, they are clearly the Princes of this Empire. What surprised all of them is, that these 3 don’t know their own identities.

“Let me re introduce myself again. I am Luke Lionheart, the 73rd Emperor of the Beastmen race and this is my daughter Gia Lionheart.”- Luke

Now, it was Shisui and the others turned to be shocked. They knew Luke was an important person based on this camp full of elite soldiers. But they never expected him to be the Emperor of Beastmen Itself.

“Sorry for addressing your majesty on first name basis.”- Shisui

“It’s ok. We also hid our identity from you guys. So what do you want to know about Lady Ichika?”- Luke

Gia, Wolfgang and Lilly looked weirdly at Luke for addressing Ichika as Lady instead of Empress. But they remained calm, as they can get their answer from him later.

“Your majesty, can you tell us the whereabouts of my mother and how she is doing in this world?”- Kin

“Hmm, she is definitely in this Empire and you can find her in the Royal Palace at the capital city Eden.

As for how she is doing, she is a well known and respected figure in this world. She is a powerful Cultivator and has many allies like me, so no one looks to cause any trouble with her.”- Luke

Gia was looking at her father, as she is looking at him for the first time. Her father is always a straightforward man and never spoke in circles. But today, he is strangely acting out of his character. Also who in this world is brave and foolish enough to find trouble with the Empress?

Kin was happy as his mother is in the same Empire as them and is in the capital city. But he don’t know, what she is doing in the Royal palace?

“Your majesty, could it be my mother is a minister in the Empress court?”- Kin

That’s the only reason he can think of at the moment, as he heard nothing but good positive things regarding the Empress.

All of them turned towards the expectant look of kin and could only sigh. What do you mean minister in the Empress court? she is the Empress herself. Luke found trouble on answering Kin’s question.

“Hmm, she is not a minister in the court. But with her status, she is clearly above the ministers.”- Luke

He clearly implied to them in an indirect way that she is the Empress, as she is the only one above the ministers. But Kin and the others clearly don’t know the hierarchy of this Empire. So they are only happy, at knowing that Ichika is doing well.

Just then Luke received information from his soldiers, who detached from them and went towards Greenwood city. From them, he came to know that almost all the major clans arrived in Greenwood city, including Lord Kuro.

He immediately disclosed this news to Gia, Lilly and Wolfgang. After listening to the information, all of them turned towards the 3 Uchiha members.

“Your majesty, could the formations around the city have anything to do with the appearance of the Royal clan and Lord Kuro?”- Lilly

The 3 Uchiha members were also clearly interested in this topic, as it is related to the Royal clan and Ichika is associated with the Royal clan.

“Yes. It is definitely related. If we can figure out the movements in Greenwood city, the enemies of the Empress can also come to the same conclusion”- Luke

Then he turned towards Shisui, Itachi and Kin. He was really in a dilemma, on how to proceed from here. It is clearly an ambush to kill these 3 members.

“Your majesty, what is this about Royal clan and who is this Lord Kuro?”- Kin

“Sigh. You see, during the Empress reign, she clearly offended a lot of organisations, sects and clans by destroying them. But because of her monstrous strength, no one want to take chances with her.

So they want to divert their fury by killing her family members, who are going to arrive in Greenwood city. As part of their plans, they prepared for an ambush by sealing all soul sense around the parts of Greenwood city, with powerful formations.

As for Lord Kuro, he is the Supreme Commander of the Imperial guards. He is stationed along with other clan leaders at Greenwood city to welcome the Royal family members.”- Luke

Kin started cursing all these cowards for their underhanded means.

“Your majesty, if we can find news on these cowards, do you think we can turn the situation around?”- Kin

‘Well it concerns your safety in the first place’,

“Do you have any idea on figuring out their positions and numbers?”- Lilly

Kin didn’t answer her, but instead summoned his 24 spirit mouses and ordered them to search every nook and cranny around the Greenwood city. All the spirit mouses disappeared from the tent in a flash.

Luke and others were clearly shocked at seeing all 24 spirit mouses. From their experiences, they can clearly tell that all these spirit mouses are Type 12 growth type treasures.

It is considered as a fortune to own something of type 12 or above treasure, but here Kin summoned 24 of them at the same time and is using them for mere scouting purpose.

If the other cultivators were to know of this, they would kill themselves or Kin for sure.

“Hmm these spirit mouses are…?”- Gia

Gia was clearly interested in the cute little spirit mouses.

“Oh, they are specially created by mother for me, incase of situations like this. They are very good at spying and collecting information”- Kin

When the 4 heard his answer, all of them started cursing Ichika in their minds.’Empress, we know you are rich. But to create a whole 2 dozen type 12 treasures just for scouting, our hearts can’t take this type of shock’

“Shisui, Itachi and Kin. You all should change from your current clothes. It is better, if your clothes does not have the war fan symbol on them”- Wolfgang

Wolfgang rarely speaks, but when he speaks it is always on point. But the 3 were clearly surprised at his suggestion.

“The war fan symbol is famous in this Empire, as Ichika sama is from the palace. The enemies will never let go of this chance to kill anyone related with the Royal family”- Wolfgang

Luke gave a quick thumbs up to Wolfgang. If he didn’t point it out, then their clothes are like a huge beacon to all the enemies, inviting to come and kill them. Shisui, Itachi and Kin, immediately went to soldiers camp to change their clothes.

“Father, why didn’t you reveal that Ichika sama is the Empress?”- Gia

“Sigh. I was about to reveal it. But I received spiritual information from her, not to reveal that she is the Empress. She want to surprise them.

Hehe, she also promised to create any treasure between type 12 to type 15, based on our choice. You see, I can’t say no to that offer.”- Luke

All of their eyes sparkled with dollar signs at this new info. It’s one thing to get a treasure weapon and another thing to get that suits their fighting style. They are clearly looking forward to their meeting with the Empress.
