Chapter: 834

“Speak up.”

Zhu Taiyoon’s face hardened.

Shockingly, all five eunuchs were Cardinal Spear members.

‘Why were they in here?’

Zhu Taiyoon was too shocked to understand.

He’d never expected something like this to happen, he’d thought that they were East Spear eunuchs who’d been working along with him.

Even the group leader of the East Spear, the eunuch who had been promised the deputy Admiral post, was perplexed.

‘Damn it! We did our best to find the spies, and they were right next to us the entire time!’

The so-called East Spear didn’t even know that it still had spies of West Spear and Cardinal Spear within it.

To prevent the three eunuchs’ organizations from growing addicted to power and to keep everyone in check, each one had its own spies within the two other organisations.

However, the East Spear had thought that they’d removed all the spies, thus it was totally unexpected to see 5 spies suddenly pop out.

Well, identifying a spy was the toughest task when an organization was made up of numerous people.

“Report.”

“We have received the order.”

The leader of the group, who had completed the inspection at the order of his Admiral Seo Tae-sik, told everything he knew about Zhu Taiyoon’s and Admiral Lim’s scheme.

“It was about half a year ago when I began my duties as an East Spear guard. Three months ago, we noticed that the Crown prince would frequently visit the East House, the headquarters of the East Spear. And...”

Since he wasn’t a high-ranked member, he wasn’t able to gather full details on what happened, but he’d realized that Zhu Taiyoon had joined hands with the members of the Blade God Six Martial clan.

The mouths of the Cardinal Spear attendants went wide whilst Zhu Taiyoon’s face turned as white as a ghost’s.

After the entire report was given, the Emperor spoke in a cold voice.

“Did you just attack the Royal Shrine and annihilate the Guardians, just to ascend the throne?”

“Y-your Majesty...”

“I am extremely disappointed. It is my fault that you turned out like this. You should have been raised strictly just like the other princes.”

Rather than blaming the culprit, the emperor blamed himself for not disciplining his son.

Zhu Taiyoon, who was already drowning in deep despair, blanked out as the world turned pitch black in his eyes.

Knowing the stubborn nature of the Emperor, it was meaningless to make excuses, especially since the report had already been given.

“Supreme Commander. Arrest them immediately and take everyone into custody.”

At the Emperor’s orders, a smile of satisfaction appeared on the Supreme Commander’s face.

He had felt humiliated when the East Spear had tried to arrest the guards, but since the situation had been reversed, he couldn’t hide his smile.

The world is truly unpredictable.

“Receive the orders from Your Majesty. Northern Commander!”
