Desert King

Overview
The Desert King is Xiaxi's fourth target. He is the first-born son of the previous king of The Great Desert. "My father married the daughter of the great priest of god Inuse, then the Daliu City became a place of troubles. If I hadn’t stopped human sacrifice, more people would have died in vain." The daughter of the great priest persuaded the previous king to sacrifice King’s mother, the most noble woman in the desert, to the eye of The Fatal Sandstorm.

The Seven Concubines
According to the Code of the Saint, the King of the Desert is only allowed to have seven concubines at any given time. This way it can be easier to assure the purity of the royal bloodline. If the King decides to marry a new concubine, he must kill his least favorite of the current seven to stay within the limit.

Other Characters of Note
Concubine Fang Na talks about how her sister died: "The former king arranged my sister, Ayu Guli, as the queen of his majesty. She refused and jumped off the building. For that, our father was convicted. Later, he was exempt from death by sending me to the palace." Eventually, we learn that the second prince was in love with Ayu Guli and wanted to marry her, so when the king offered her to the first prince instead, she committed suicide. Fang Na always had love for the second prince, even though he chose her sister over her.
