"Your Majesty." A male attendant walked forward and bowed in front of the desk.

The Emperor hummed in response as he kept his head among the jade books.

"This servant has some news about the incident during your Majesty's birthday banquet."

This caused the diligent Emperor to finally raise his head and stare seriously at the man in front of him.

"Is that so, Flash?"

"Yes, your Majesty." Flash nodded.

"After further investigation, we have found two new servants missing since your Majesty's birthday banquet. What's more is that both of them had some proficiency in the arts of Fire."

Flash dared a quick sneak peek at his master and saw the Celestial Emperor slightly narrowing his eyes.

"The manager of newly appointed servants claimed that he granted them hundred years leave, since one of them had a newborn child at home and the other had suffered a heavy wound during work."

Flash took a short break, but when he noticed the lack of response, he continued.

"However they have failed to report for work after their permitted break. The manager sent someone to inquire about them, but found their houses abandoned. The neighbors also couldn't report anything useful about their disappearance, since they vanished so suddenly without them noticing."

"Someone has been cleaning up the tracks." The Emperor dropped the report in his hand.

"What's their background?"

"The information that was stored about them was that they came from a minor declining clan in the Celestial Realm. The only remaining members consists of them two, so we haven't been able to gather much more information about the clan."

Silence filled the room for a while as the Emperor contemplated.

"Continue the investigation. Furthermore, give the staff involved in the recruitment of the servants half the salary for the next 100 000 years." A tiny bit of fury could be detected in his voice, but disappeared as soon as he had a small cough.

Seeing this, Flash immediately appeared by the Emperor's side and patted his back.

"Please calm down, your Majesty. Don't hurt your body."

"I am fine." The Emperor raised his hand to sign for Flash to retreat.

"Your Majesty have had these coughs for a while now. How about calling for an Imperial Physician to take a look?" Flash tried to convince as he backed down, but stayed by his master's side.
