Nate had wanted to take over the army again but had lost it when both the red and blue haven emperors were teleported in front of the army because of Felix. It had taken a while but luckily, they had not taken Purple Haven yet at that time and so the army was then sent back to their respective homes. At the time Felix had been the only one able to teleport and with his spiritual essence not as good as Sahara’s, Felix took a while to get to the point of having both Emperor’s there, and even then, the Red Haven King was questioned by the army, because no one knew who he was!
It had been a real problem back then and Felix was exhausted a lot.
After that, Nate had gone back into the shadows. He couldn’t believe that he had lost both Red Haven and Blue Haven’s support!
Nate, while hiding in Green Haven, had been trying to come up with yet another plan! His time was not done yet!
There were other Haven’s out there that needed approval, so he could always go to the other Haven’s…But did that mean he was finished in Green Haven?
No…He hadn’t finished…
After Nate had indeed gone through with one of his plans for Green Haven, he was then on his way towards another Haven…There was a problem though with Nate’s plan of going to the other Haven’s.
Word was getting out about the True Golden Heirs and so Nate was having more and more trouble as the time went on! The years of his planning was somewhat stilled and with so much traveling that needed to be done, Nate was in need of some desperate attempt at slowing down his adversary!
The worst thing about True Golden Heirs, for Nate, was that he had no idea upon where they were. The link between him and others seemed to be only based upon Golden Heirs like him, nothing else…So, not only did he want to track down the True Golden Heirs and perhaps attempt to kill them, he had to still come up with a sure plan to overcome the chance that the True Golden Heirs at taking what was his!
…Golden Haven was his and his alone!
Matthew, going from one Haven, to another, and checking the wild open space between, had too many things to do and too many thoughts to keep out!
Even though, ultimately, he was looking for his beloved, he did try to keep his thoughts away by helping others and bringing up his son.
Every now and again, while in a Haven, he would put his son in an academy, while he looked around and helped people. But it became more and more apparent to people on who he was. You can blame the Blue Haven Emperor and Red Haven Emperor for this as the fake emperor had let slip about Matthew’s true heritage. To a degree he had shot himself in the foot! They were probably better off not telling anyone about Matthew’s being a true golden heir!
Even Green Haven, through being told upon the truth, was becoming more and more sure that Matthew was destined for something greater and so ‘understood’ upon why he had never become the heir to be the next Green Haven Emperor. Mind you, at first, they had been upset that such a lie had been kept hidden from them…But, over time, they came to remember what Matthew had been like.
Actually, before Sahara’s birth, the ‘Golden Emperor’ and ‘Golden Haven’ was more like a story, one that wasn’t much thought of anymore. Some people had not even heard about it! But now, after the meeting that happened between four emperor’s, there was a lot more travelling between Haven’s and a lot more talk about a possible future of the golden bridge! It was almost like a building that had been closed down for a long time, with white sheets covering furniture, always closed windows and dust everywhere…Then, too slowly open this building up so that it would be liveable once again…It was like that with knowledge of the Golden Bridge.
The Green Haven Emperor had tried to keep his ‘second son’ in Green Haven but that had not worked. It had indeed been one reason why he had gone as far as killing that daughter in law of his but once again, even through death, that woman had caused him troubles!
Felix had secretly, yet obviously, helped Matthew leave Green Haven and so Felix had been punished severally for it. But Matthew caught up with Steven, Nether and Band One, and they went out as a group to find Sahara…Even Christian and his family tagged along, who then was followed by Hector…
And so, it became an interesting family as Christian continued to act like a kid, along with Hector and Naruto became more of an adult, as he protected Kin the most!
Kin was Naruto’s lifeline, but Naruto’s was also Kin’s. Kin had trouble speaking with his dad…About anything. Steven actually talked more to him about his mother then his own father did!
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Nether and Steven were more like Kin’s parents, to the point that Kin questioned it many times. Nether did not birth a child for ten years, as the ‘normal’ situation of a True Golden Heir being conceived was rare had became real to them. It was almost something to be envious about, how Christian was able to bare four True Golden Heirs with his beloved, yet Steven and Nether were not able to conceive one at all.
It does help that Lavender was from a True Golden Heir lineage, being related to the princess that got away all those years ago…Whereas Steven was not. Steven was from Christian’s linage, where Golden Heirs had been the only child born to them, and all of them had been done on purpose to leave a child in each Haven…The mother had absolutely no line at all to the Golden Heirs and so, if Nether wanted a child, Steven would have to use his Golden Heir ‘power’.
After being together for ten years, Nether didn’t care anymore how it was done, as she was indeed told by Steven.
A son was then conceived and so Kin was almost like an elder brother for a change. All the other children, who where his father’s siblings, had been older than him, except one…But they weren’t like ‘Daxton’, Daxton was someone he wanted to look after more! Of course, at the time that Daxton was born Kin was still young, at the age of eleven. He would have said that he was a man but there was still so much that he needed to learn!
There are a lot more details, as in the death of Hector and how Christian handled his best buddy dying, that too of what Kin had been learning in his cultivation, but I will not go further into details. A past is there, a past without Sahara, to which she missed out on and will never have that time return to share some bonding time with her family and friends. There may now even be a gap between them, as twenty years is a long time! Time can change people, time can change how the think and feel…How they act…
What we will find out is the kind of people that they are after all these years…

Matilda and Katherine went into hiding on their first day!
They didn’t want to, but they had too!
Not only had the dead bodies been found pretty quickly, but Matilda just didn’t want so much drama, while she figured out what she was going to do…And how!
They had sort of made a plan before coming here, but it had been a basic plan of three steps.
Obtain the Golden heirs and True Golden Heirs, obtain all the Haven’s Emperor’s and then get them to agree on someone!
That was the basic plan! Through that, the golden bridge would be made, and Golden Haven would become the main Haven throughout, so then Matilda could do her job…It was why she was here after all.
She had lived her life, it was done…Now she just wanted to do her job and go home…Wherever that was…
She had every intention now to let the least amount of people know who she really was, even if they had a good idea and were certain…
Deniability all the way!
Well, that was her feelings as of right this moment anyway…
It’ll be a lot better if she didn’t have to ‘show’ her powers. If she could ‘leave’ notes somewhere, where they didn’t know how they got there, that would be good…Oh, and if she could give them enough time to get to Golden Haven themselves, that would also be great! The less she uses her powers, the less people who would find out who she really was!
Katherine would look outside many times and Matilda was trying to find a suitable place to have this ‘vote’? ‘Dipliomatic procedure’? ‘Bridge needed meeting’?
Whatever it was that the gathering was going to be called, Matilda was scanning Golden Haven for it. It seemed that the Amphitheatre was still a good place but…Was it big enough?
So, after that, Matilda had to find numbers. How many of them were there out there anyway!?
Back when Matilda was Sahara, probably when she was about thirteen, the Golden heirs hit a low of about five or six, then, there was about six or so that had not yet come to age yet. Well, that wasn’t including the rare True Golden Heirs, which was only one of age at that specific time…
Now…
Well, it wasn’t too hard to find them, since she had the spiritual essence on her side. She was able to either go straight to those who she knew of, like Christian, and go from there in his memories, or if she were to concentrate, she could see the golden links of spiritual essence hanging around randomly. It did indeed take time, which would have probably been better done in ‘space’? the ‘Nether’? Instead of here…Nonetheless, it was now time to ‘inspect’ all of them! Even that of…Her son and her…And the son of Christian…
Before she went to those two people, she procrastinated…
It wasn’t complete procrastination, just partly, just a little bit…Because they now had to worry about eating and making sure that they stayed clean! That was like a healthy thing right! It wasn’t procrastinating if you are doing things that are better for your health…Right!? It was survivability! It was for the greater good of mankind!
The delivery service, meaning her teleportation of stealing food, worked just like before and Matilda sighed to having to have to worry about this type of nonsense once again…There were indeed some pluses to being…Well ‘not being’ is better to state it right?
…Right…
After they were both clean and feed though, what was Matilda to do besides that of trying to get her ‘job’ done? Well, she didn’t have to start with…Them…She could start elsewhere! You know…Like the other ones that are Golden Heirs and stuff…
But it was through this type of ‘screening’ that Matilda did remember what it was like to being angry once again.
That thing that Nate had done before leaving Green Haven all those years ago when he had attacked…He had indeed spent the wedding night with the Crowned Princess of Felix.
Because Felix had been knocked out by Nate, and Nate had just left the chambers in the dark, he had indeed gotten away with it.
When Cordelia found out that it wasn’t her prince, but instead someone else, she had been mortified.
They did not tell anyone, but Felix had not been able to be with her sexually since.
…Nate had indeed purposefully gone there and found it a glorious moment to put his golden seed inside the ‘to be’ empress! His son will then be the future Emperor of Green Haven! It was a perfect plan!
…Well, for him it was a perfect plan…For others though, it was most certainly the opposite!
