Chapter 754 Secret Lover
Hearing his father's words, High Prince Kael remained silent.
Witnessing this scene, High King Eldric's anger surged to its peak. "It's alright if you don't want to speak," he said, shifting his attention towards the guard nearby.
"Bring her in," he ordered.
Two of the guards nodded and swiftly exited the room.
High Prince Kael's eyes widened in disbelief as if he realized his father's intentions. "Please, Father, stop! She hasn't done anything wrong. I was the one who went to meet her," he pleaded.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
However, High King Eldric ignored his words, refusing to acknowledge them.
The door swung open once more, revealing a young woman in her mid-twenties, her hands bound in chains, flanked by two guards who ushered her towards the throne. Arriving at a designated distance, they forced her to kneel and step backwards, awaiting the High King's next commands.
High King Eldric rose from his throne and approached Cerelia.
Cerelia trembled, her head bowed low as she sensed the heavy tension in the air.
"Father, I beg you, Cerelia has done nothing wrong! I was the one who went to her, I swear!" High Prince Kael's voice echoed through the chamber, his plea resonating at the top of his lungs.
He attempted to rise and rush towards them; however, the nearby guards swiftly restrained him, pressing him back to the ground.
"ITCH!" High Prince Kael gritted his teeth angrily and watched with worry as High King Eldric finally approached Cerelia.
High King Eldric's expression instantly morphed into anger, his eyes becoming fierce before he immediately calmed himself down.
"It's alright if you choose not to ascend to the throne. You can renounce your crown and identity right now and leave this Palace unharmed. However, I must warn you if you choose this path, Celeria will stay here as punishment."
"She'll become a personal servant, serving the next king's every wish and desire as punishment for being the reason for the former future king's abandonment of his responsibilities, causing the royal Pixie's long-standing lineage to go through a humiliating experience that had never been seen before," he responded.
"If she ever chooses to leave this Palace, she will be immediately put to death for defying the High King's orders. The same punishment awaits her if you decide to ever step foot into this Palace again," he added.
"WHAT IS THIS? THIS IS UNREASONABLE!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS ––" High Prince Kael roared in fury.
However, High King Eldric immediately interjected, "Who says it is unreasonable? I am the High King. I am the one who determines whether it is unreasonable or not. The only ones capable of opposing my words are the High Elders; however, they have a limit on how much authority they possess."
"So if you are unsatisfied with my words and consider them unreasonable, then you can ascend to the throne by getting engaged to your sixth junior sister and continuing the royal bloodline," he responded, his calm gaze fixed on High Prince Kael before he shifted his attention back towards Celeria, awaiting her response.
Upon hearing his father's response, High Prince Kael cursed heavily under his breath. It was obvious that his father had planned everything from the outset.
He was determined to separate him and Celeria, regardless of their choices.
"Kael, I've made my decision," Celeria said, redirecting her attention to High Prince Kael. "I am sorry about this, Kael, but this wealth will help me grow stronger and support my family," she smiled faintly before shifting her focus to High King Eldric.
"High King Eldric, I appreciate the choice you've given me. Therefore, from this day forth, I sever all ties with High Prince Kael and swear upon god Aerendir's name never to see him again," she added, lifting the two sacks from the ground and bowing her head towards High King Eldric.
The entire hall was abruptly submerged in an eerie stillness.
