Fletcher’s face became red as he faced Princess Evergreen’s questioning. “Princess Evergreen, you have misunderstood. I was not going to hit this eunuch; I’m just joking with him,” he responded, smiling but inside, he was confused. It was funny that Princess Evergreen, who always mistreated her servants, was protecting the eunuch. What a rare sight!Princess Evergreen furrowed her brows as she said coldly, “Joke? I don’t think so. I saw you attacking him.”Princess Evergreen had seen what happened clearly. Although Fletcher had retreated his hand just in time, his deadly aura was still perceivable.“Your Highness, you must have misunderstood.” Fletcher smiled bitterly, putting on an innocent look. “I was really joking with this eunuch. He had earlier helped to uphold the South Cloud World’s reputation. Why would I attack him? If you don’t believe me, you can ask the rest of the officials.”As he said, all the officials nodded in agreement immediately.“That’s right, Princess,
When Darryl entered the garden, he saw the Empress sitting on the chair with a few maids serving her gingerly.A few officials sat at a tea table on the side, reciting poems. The Empress loved art, chess, music, poetry, and songs, so she would always invite some civil officials for a poem recital.All the officials stared at Darryl as he walked in. Darryl walked straight in and bowed to the Empress. “Greetings, Your Majesty.”The Empress was smiling as she looked at Darryl and said gently, “You used the ant to tie the red thread at the main hall. Well done. I promised before that you would be rewarded if you succeeded.”The Empress took a sip of her tea elegantly and smiled. “Tell me, what do you want as a reward?”Darryl was overjoyed. Without a second thought, he said, “Your Majesty, can I ask for anything?”Darryl’s eyes were full of desperation, but he could not help but size the Empress up. The Empress was undeniably attractive. Her grace and sexiness with the aura of th
The New World Emperor looked around and spoke slowly, “I have captured a child. This child is related to the traitor—Grandmaster Heaven Cult. What do you all recommend we do with the child?”He lifted his hand towards Sawyer. “Sawyer, bring him here.”“Yes, Your Majesty!” Sawyer replied and walked out of the main hall quickly. Soon, Sawyer returned with a few royal guards holding a tiny body behind him and made the kid kneel in the main hall.It was Ambrose Darby.Ambrose’s body was tied up tightly, his face was pale, and his breathing was weak. His tiny face no longer held the innocence and joy of a young child. “Ambrose!” a voice roared as a figure walked from amongst the civil and military officials. It was Lord Kenny Bred.Ever since Monica left the Guang Ping Palace, Lord Kenny had forgotten the meaning of life. He spent the whole day not doing anything as if he had lost his soul.He was also not in the mood when the New World Emperor gathered all the officials for a m
Ambrose sobbed and replied, “Mother is with a weird man. The weird man is crazy. I’m scared of him. Father, I miss mother…”The crazy man that Ambrose mentioned was the Cult Master of the Grandmaster Heaven Cult. He was insane, so Ambrose called him a weird man.‘Weird man?’ when Lord Kenny heard that, he furrowed his brows in confusion. ‘Didn’t my dear go back to the World Universe to look for Darryl? Why is she with a crazy man?’Bang!At that moment, the New World Emperor could not take it anymore. He slammed his hand hard on the armrest of the chair and stared at Lord Kenny as he shouted, “Lord Kenny, what the hell is going on?”Lord Kenny collected his thoughts and kneeled in fear immediately. “Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding; this child is not related to the traitor.”“Really? Explain,” the New world Emperor said coldly as his eyes shone while his expression became gloomy. When Ambrose called Lord Kenny ‘father’, the Emperor already knew that the boy was Mo
All the officials were shocked when they heard the New World Emperor was going to execute Lord Kenny.It was well-known that Lord Kenny was the right-hand man of the New World Emperor. He contributed greatly to the New World Royal Family!However, now, he was sentenced to death because of Monica and her son. Everyone was upset by the news. However, the New World Emperor was furious at that moment; no one dared to speak to him!The main hall was in pin drop silence. Lord Kenny looked sad as he raised his head and looked at the New World Emperor. “Your Majesty! I am guilty of deceiving Your Majesty, so I accept your death penalty. However, I hope Your Majesty would grant me a request.”Lord Kenny was determined. Without Monica by his side, he had lost all will to stay alive. Living did not matter to him anymore.“Out with it!” The New World Emperor commanded with a cold voice. His face was void of emotions. He took a deep breath and said slowly, “Your Majesty, you are a kind p
At that moment, Sawyer smiled and walked over to Yvette. “Your Highness, a friend of mine gave me an interesting gadget called a glider yesterday. It was said it could fly. Do you want to take a look at it at my place?”To Sawyer, whether Lord Kenny lived or died had nothing to do with him. The most important thing to him was to nurture his relationship with the Princess. There was no doubt that the Emperor would allow him to marry Yvette. “Stay away!” she scolded as she turned and left immediately without even a second glance at Sawyer. Sawyer was left stunned as he stared blankly at Yvette’s retreating figure. He could not collect his thoughts for a long time.Late in the night in the palace prison, two Royal Guards stood by the dark dungeon entrance, falling asleep. At that moment, a slim figure appeared and landed lightly like a creature of the night. She wore a tight, long black dress and was extremely beautiful. This mysterious figure was Yvette.She had planned to break
The next second, Yvette was carrying Ambrose in her arms. Seeing Ambrose’s tiny body, she felt extremely sorry for him. Her heart ached as she held him even tighter. “Ambrose, you are such a good boy. I’m here to rescue you.”Yvette scanned the prison cells. Before arriving, Yvette had decided that she would rescue Lord Kenny, too.During the day at the main hall, the Emperor ordered Lord Kenny and Ambrose to be locked up separately. She could only see Ambrose. She sighed as she carried him and walked out quickly. “Your Highness!”Seeing that, the two royal guards outside were extremely anxious, but they dared not stop her.Yvette remained silent as she carried Ambrose in her arms and leaped forward. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the darkness.“What shall we do now?” the two Royal Guards looked at each other as they watched Yvette run away. They were both terrified. The Emperor had sentenced the child to death, and now he was missing. They could not escape bein
“This is really unexpected that Lord Kenny’s life is going to end this way.”“Did you hear that Lord Kenny was convicted for deceiving the Emperor because he released that loose woman, Monica? That’s why he’s going to be decapitated.”“Tut-tut, no wonder. Losing his life for such a woman. He was really asking for it.”Lord Kenny looked up, pretending he did not hear the gossip, and let the cold rain wash over him. It was a rainy day again. It was also raining when his wife was framed and sent to the parade. Images of Monica popped up in Lord Kenny’s mind. The memories caused him to smile. ‘Dear, are you doing alright? I was not able to protect Ambrose, and I’m too ashamed to meet you again.’Lord Kenny did not know Yvette had rescued Ambrose and escaped with him.“Time’s up. Prepare for the execution!” the executioner coldly said as the beheader raised his big blade. At that moment, Lord Kenny had completely lost hope and shut his eyes, feeling devastated. The room was silen
