"Everything within the Great Xia Empire is controlled with extreme severity, allowing no room for even the slightest mistake."
Lai Yu Yao lifted her head slightly.
A hint of wistful memory and resentment in her eyes, she began to speak slowly. "My father's family... a family that has always yearned to secure a higher status and greater power on the political stage.
During that special time when Evil Spirits began to plague the world,
the importance of the Defense Team skyrocketed.
It surpassed that of any other department during times of peace and prosperity.
Perhaps it was the power of love that gave him courage.
My father had always been mediocre, unremarkable within the family.
But spurred on by love, he was like a newly lit fire and began to shine brightly,
charging bravely forward on the path to the position of minister of the Defense Team.
It's just a shame his ambition went unfulfilled. Before he could reach the top, that woman made her move."
