The residence the imperial Li family had a quiet tranquil, yet cool pristine ambiance. It was located in a cloud-capped mountain overseeing the capital. It is commonly known as, "The country that kissed the clouds."
Wang Kai, a few minutes from the Imperial palace, witnessed with his own two eyes two children robbing a fruit stand.
"Stop!" He called out and ran after the children. it didn't take long to corner then.
"Why are you stealing? Where are your parents?" He asked the two children. Their clothes were torn up and filthy.
"Please let us go..." One of them pleaded.
"I'll ask once more. Where are your parents." Wang Kai asked gently.
The other child was on the brink of tears when they shouted, "We're orphans! Is that what you wanted to hear? We have to steal in order to live! Our lives were ruin because of that foul emperor sitting happily on his throne of lies!"
Wang Kai was speechless. What did the child mean but that? Lies? Orphans...
While he was thinking the children swept past him and escaped.

One year later ~
In the middle of the palace grounds corpses littered the ground. One of the bodies that laid on the cold stone floor was Kai's.
"Why didn't I listen and chase after those kids?" He asked aloud and breathed his last breath.

The kids were fast. But the training Wang Kai had to undergo as an imperial trainee made this seem like a piece of cake. He easily caught up and trapped the kids once again.
"What did you mean by, "Our lives were ruined because of that foul emperor sitting happily on his throne of lies?" Kai asked, confused.
"You're an imperial guard! You live a luxurious life blinded by the richness of it. Of course you wouldn't understand!" The child insulted the emperor, shouted.
Wang Kai sternly asked. "What do you mean by that?"
"Haven't you've ever wondered how the emperor lives such a rich life filled with gold, jewels, food, and other expensive things?" The other child spoke up.
"Well he's the emperor. Of course he lives such a vast life." Wang Kai replied.
"Look around you." The other child said.
Wang Kai did as the child commanded. His eyes widened as he finally understood what the children meant.
"The emperor enjoys massacring families and taking all that they have. All of the survivors live here. They continue their worthless and meaningless lives by stealing." The child said.
Wang Kai was a twenty year old adult. Walking around everyday without a care in the world. Continuing to work under the emperor as his loyal dog. After all growing up he trained tirelessly for that one purpose. Over the course of his life he never once stopped and thought about the people

living in the slums and how they got there. Now two children who looked to be only eight years old opened his eyes to the harsh truth.

While Kai is walking on his way back to the palace, he thinks about those children and people who were starving he came across.
In his head, he thought to himself, "I genuinely want to help those people, and I am positive that there are other individuals, families, and children that are starving and using everything they have in order to survive this world.

Once Kai reaches the palace, he greets his junior, "Good Afternoon." They greeted him with a bow. He walks straight in and heads up the stairs to meet the emperor and work his nightshift.
Kai reaches the emperor's throne and respectfully greets him, "Greetings Emperor Li Qing."
The emperor stands up out of his throne, and yells on the top of his lungs, " YOU'RE LATE!"
Kai apologizes, "I am sincerely sorry Emperor... it won't happen again."
Emperor Li Qing replies angrily, "It BETTER not happen. What were you up to that caused you to be late?"
"Sir, I witnessed children from the slums stealing food from the market stands sir."

Emperor Li slaps his hand onto the dining table and yells, "WANG KAI! DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THOSE CHILDREN HAVE WORTH TO THEM? Don't EVER bother to care about those children. The villagers will manage with those poor rodents."
Kai bows down to the Emperor and says, "I am sorry sir."
"You better be, you would be one of them if I didn't have you as my PERSONAL imperial guard. remember that you have a higher rank than your comrades. Now go fetch me more of this delicious pork! Hurry!"
"You better be, you would be one of them if I didn't have you as my PERSONAL imperial guard. remember that you have a higher rank than your comrades. Now go fetch me more of this delicious pork! Hurry!"
As Kai is walking to the Emperor's personal chef for more pork, he thinks about how much suffering those children are in. He feels bad that he yelled at them for stealing. He starts to understand their minds were not working correctly because of starvation.
Kai Is thinking about all the possibilities he has to kill the emperor.
"How will I do this? Am I sure I even want to. Yes I have to. I have to save the villagers".
Kai starts to plot out his rebellious action to kill the emperor and save the country. Kai has to make sure that his plan is gonna work 100% with no flaws in it. Kai has 3 days to make sure everything is ready and planned well. He has started to take measurements on how long this will take and how the easy way will be. He then realizes he is gonna have to slaughter all 48 imperial princes he thought "it won't be hard but to kill 48 imperial princes I must hide the bodies really well."
Kai is making sure that the time of the attack is a good time. "I must do this in a good time while he's distracted. I must do it while he is eating because he likes food a lot and once he starts eating he doesn't stop until you pull him away".
