Chapter 30
The vile one has arrived.
Execute him immediately!
As the gods began clamoring, Liv’s face turned deathly pale upon unexpectedly encountering the one person she must not face. Even Emmett, who had said the Emperor wouldn’t attend today, was equally flustered.
“Why is His Majesty here...”
As they stood at a loss, the Emperor, having entered the ballroom, addressed the surrounding nobles with a smile:
“I’ve come to urgently consult with my aid Duke Lartman. Pay it no mind.”
However, Emmett could spare the Emperor no attention.
He defies my authority!
Liv, obtain our power in the sacred grounds and kill this man!
Liv was trembling uncontrollably, her face contorted as she held back tears.
‘Another mark has been etched.’
Liv had grown somewhat accustomed to the gods raging whenever the Emperor appeared. But her current anguish stemmed not solely from the gods’ oppressive presence. Her skin burned feverishly, a sensation akin to needles piercing deep into her bones.
