Chapter 979 - The Inner Kingdom: Queen Of The Shadows



Chapter 979

(Unedited)

For some unknown reason, Shin Jiao did not know why this 1st prince is very hostile towards him. The only reason for this is simple; it is because of Gulliver Astride. Ever since he left the 1st prince\'s side, he began to align himself with the king and the 5th prince.

For someone who dislikes being taken advantage of, the 1st prince, Prince Vorn Grav treated this as someone stealing his things. Ever since young, he truly dislikes people taking his stuff. And those who did so suffered grave consequences.

This is how he was raised by his mother, the queen, who looks amicable in front of others, but in truth, she is a true poisonous snake.

And because of this, Vorn Grav decided to do everything in his power to take down the Mystique Shop and even wanted to kill his own father, the king.

But the king is very cautious nowadays, and with Gulliver by his side, it is more impossible for him to make a move.

Gulliver Astride has the ability to sense things around him. He could sense danger and is a better tactician on the battlefield. Though he is not that strong as a warrior, yet as a general, he is something else.

And this is what makes the 1st prince really angry at this time.

As the soldiers encircle the people inside the hall, chaotic discussion amongst the crowd began. From what everyone can see, it seems that the 1st prince could not wait to devour the huge merchant business right in front of him.

All the leaders of the Mystique Shop group are in this place right now, so if they are gone, then the merchant group will be ripe for the taking. It was a very underhanded move, but a brilliant one.

But of course, the people also could not forget that the leader of this group is a Grand Magus being, one of the powerful beings that is supposed to be revered in the kingdom.

Seeing that the soldiers have already surrounded them, the people behind Shin Jiao did not panic. Instead, they are looking at the soldiers as if looking at some fools who did not know what they are about to be involved with.

When the confrontation is about to start, an old man suddenly walks out from beside the emperor.

"Prince Vorn Grav!" the middle-aged-looking man full of white hair called out.

This man is General Xun Simo, Lin Simo\'s father and the future father-in-law of the 1st prince. Although he is already in his 50s, General Xun Simo at this time exudes a powerful aura and demeanor of a great general.

"The king invited these people not to humiliate them, but to thank them for what they have done for the people. And yet his son would have such anger towards those who helped the kingdom? What is the meaning of this?"

Upon hearing this, the expression of the 1st prince turned ugly. He knew this, he knew that he should not be doing such a thing right now, but because of his anger upon seeing the guy who tricked him before and also lied to him and his father about his identity, he was angered. This is the guy who caused his right-hand man Gulliver to leave his side. So how could he just let this go?

However, with the general\'s words, his muddleheaded mind seems to have woken up.

"Alright, let the guards leave… We are not here to convict anyone… It was just a trifling matter." King Grav said while waving his hands.

Upon seeing this, the guards turn to the 1st prince, before the 1st prince nodded his head and they all left.

These small actions made the king frown. Gulliver has already warned him about his 1st and 2nd son, but he did not believe it to be. He thought that his sons are just muddled and would not hurt him, their father who in spite of their weakness and folly would always forgive them.

But it seems that what Gulliver told him was the truth. The thing that would happen tonight would not be that simple.

As the guards left, the hall began to bustle once again.

This sort of intermission did not deter the nobles in the hall to begin associating with each other, especially the young men and women in the crowd.

In these kinds of environments, business cooperation is being formed, alliances are being strengthened, and power is being distributed.

This is the reason why nobles like to be in these kinds of celebrations.

On one corner, the 1st prince, 2nd prince, and those amongst their peers are grouped together.

Meanwhile, the king and those who are close to him just sit in their seats while looking at the bustling crowd around them.

Suddenly, a letter was passed towards the king secretly, as he reads it, his expression changes.

"Damn those children! They are even willing to poison me, their father!" he thought.

However, he did not lash out.

Right at this moment, he secretly crumpled the paper and with a slight move, it was burned into dust.

Those watching the king frown but did not react as they did not see anything weird.

After a while, the king stood up and clink on his goblet.

With this, the entire hall turned silent once again.

"Nobles, gentlemen, and ladies of the court... I, your king welcome everyone in this celebration for the success of our annual beast clearing hunt…" King Grav said in a loud voice.

Everyone lifted their cups and cheered.

"I wanted to give thanks to my sons, who helped with the preparation, and especially my 5th sons who cooperated in the hunting process! Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Hooray!"

The people began to cheer happily.

"And also… I would like to thank the…" the king said then suddenly he staggered.

Ack!

The king suddenly grabbed his throat and with teary eyes, he looks at his 1st and 2nd sons along with their mothers and siblings. What he saw made his heart ached.

They are all looking at him with sinister expressions as if they could not wait for him to die. As a king and as a father, King Grav might not have been perfect. Yet he did not neglect his sons, he would always show them his impartial judgment and did not punish them too harshly. But it seems that they all see this as weakness, and even though he did all his best to be a father to his children, some of them are not satisfied.

Seeing the king struggling and fell to the ground, the people began to feel worried.

The first one to move was the 5th prince, Ginlong Grav. He did not know what just happened and was thoroughly worried.

Gwendolyn also runs to his father\'s side with her teary eyes as she suddenly kneels on the ground.

"Father! Father!" she cried.

"This… How dare you!" an angry voice shouted.

"Our father has already forgiven your folly and your brazenness and yet you still did not spare him? Do you really want to take over our kingdom?" the 2nd prince, Xuanhai Grav, shouted in anger.

It was as if indignation and resentment are in his eyes. In actual fact, this is his true feeling. He is just directing this to Shin Jiao and his people instead.

As someone who is not valued because of his folly and misdemeanor, the 2nd prince has been considered as a fool of a prince. And this he knew by heart and is angry at every one of his brothers and sisters, and even the king.

And his resentment is now directed to Shin Jiao and his people due to the machination of the 1st prince.

As the hall began to be chaotic once again, the guards from outside marched forward to block all of the exits. They pointed their weapons to Shin Jiao and his group who has already gathered in the middle.

Looking at this fiasco, Shin Jiao just shows a smile on his face.

Suddenly, the large doors of the main entrance of the hall opened. A few figures could be seen walking casually inside of the hall. These figures are wearing dark hooded cloaks with an air of mystery in them.

Leading the group is a tall and slender woman wearing a long gothic gown. She has blonde hair and green eyes, and as she removes her hood, a beautiful enchanting face was shown to everyone in the crowd.

Her enchanting beauty almost matches that of Hua Xiao. But the dark and cold aura around her made all of those who are near her cower in fright.

As she walks ahead of her group, many nobles began to whisper amongst themselves. This is because many of them recognize who this young woman is.

When General Simo and the rest saw her, their expression turned ugly.. This is because this young woman is none other than the famous daughter of the previous king of the Xinglo kingdom, Princess Tamei Ro, also known as the Queen of the Shadows.
