Chapter: 1211

‘If my brother didn’t make him the prince!’

This situation would have never happened.

They had entered the cave by breaking down the ice while trying to recover the hidden treasure.

At that time, an elder of the council Sol Am-baek, gave the royal order.

“Catch Dan Jucheon, the instigator of treason, and everyone beside him, detain them right away.”

“Yes!”

The council had been waiting for this very moment.

This was the right moment to subdue the injured Dan Jucheon and the other elders.

Seol Young-gwi, shouted at the sight of guards approaching them.

“On whose orders are you moving right now? Didn’t you people break the rules of the palace and set up an unqualified prince, creating this kind of chaos!”

“Huh! Who was the one who brought in outsiders and drove the king to death! These kinds of words are often heard from people like you, Elder Seol!”

Sol Am-baek responded to those words.

At that 8th elder, Baek Hak asked with a puzzled expression.

“I don’t get this at all. Why bring in the outsiders? Wasn’t it that the prince, whom you supported, brought in the wicked people of the Demonic Cult and caused this situation?”

“Ha! Are you actually blaming the prince for the situation you caused! Stop with your bullshit! Catch them now!”

“What!”

When they tried to subdue them, the elders who supported Dan Jucheon tried to fight back.

This would normally lead to a civil war.

At that time, Dan Jucheon, who had been silent till then, spoke in a voice full of anger while watching the prince, Dan Baekhyun.

“Baekhyun. If you, who isn’t qualified to become the crown prince, were handed the title, do you really think that the council will actually understand and follow you?”

He tried very hard not to hate his nephew.

But he no longer wanted to.

As a response, Baekhyun brought out the words he always kept inside.

“Uncle Dan! If you really thought that I didn’t deserve the title, you should have officially requested it from the royal council. I don’t want to hear this from you, who for your own ambition, brought in outsiders who harmed your own family!”

Baekhyun had been upset too. All the emotions he had kept buried inside him for all this time rose to the surface.

Dan Jucheon, the deputy king, spoke with a twisted expression.

“Elder Seol was right. I should have taken care of you right then. At least now, I will correct it.”

Goo!

With those words, cold qi rushed towards Baekhyun’s body.

No matter how frightened he was of Chun Yeowun, Dan Jucheon was still one of the top warriors in the North.
