Chapter: 836

“Father! Father! PLEASEE!!!”

Zhu Taiyoon’s happy dream of getting everything he wanted, had in a very short space of time, turned into a hellish nightmare.

It was even more shocking, that even after being dragged out, his father, the Emperor, wasn’t responding to him.

‘Your Majesty took a step ahead, so the plot of the Crown Prince has ended in failure’

A cold-hearted Emperor, who didn’t let injustice happen, even when committed by his beloved son.

When the crown prince’s voice could no longer be heard in the underground hall, the Emperor moved in steady steps from the entrance to the middle of the hall.

“Now that my beloved son’s business has been taken care of, I need to take care of the other matters.”

“Ah!”

Following the Emperor, the two Admirals, their attendants, the Supreme Commander and the Northern Commander moved, but that wasn’t the end. Eunuchs of the West Spear and Cardinal Spear rushed in and formed two lines, encircling the outer perimeter of the hall.

‘He brought everyone?’

Zhu Taikhan couldn’t hide his shock.

He’d thought that everything had been resolved, but that didn’t seem to be the case.

There were around 400 people within the hall at the moment.

Unlike the Emperor, who was still full of dignity, the expressions of the two Admirals, and the Supreme Commander, were distorted.

The reason was simple.

“How rude! How dare you stand tall when His Majesty, the Great Emperor of the Empire, has arrived!”

The Supreme Commander yelled furiously.

Previously, when the Emperor had arrived in the underground hall of the Royal Shrine, Zhu Taikhan and the others had immediately fallen to their knees.

However, there were a few people who simply hadn’t done so.

They were Chun Yeowun, a man with long black hair, and 4 people who were wearing Guards uniforms.

The Emperor had kept his mouth shut because he’d decided to deal with his son and the East Spear first. but now that they had been removed, the actions of these 4 people were simply unacceptable to him.

‘That unit is a mess. They seem to belong to the Southern unit, but how could these people commit such blasphemy in His Majesty’s presence? !’

In the eyes of the Supreme Commander, Baek Jagi, the men in the Guards uniform had to kneel and greet the emperor.

Of course, it wasn’t just the guards, anyone in the Empire had to kneel in front of His Majesty.

“Well, you see, I can’t get down on my knee right now...”

Swoosh!

“Y-Your Majesty!”

It was the emperor who had stopped the Supreme Commander from charging ahead.

When the emperor raised his hand and signalled him to stop, the Supreme Commander who wanted to say something went silent.

To disobey the emperor’s orders meant to betray his authority.
