Chapter 146: Destruction of the Heart of Lethusia
Alexandra started to float above the floor and rose to the top. Holding out her hand, she looked around. The pillars that were there since the formation of the Lethusian Empire still had the markings from when she cut through them with the light from her sword.
"All these resplendence... Do you think I value gold? Did you think that’s why I let this stand?" she smirked.
Maximus was looking at her, with his eyes filled with pride. But she was not looking at him. Her eyes ended up at the men running in and surrounding her. She laughed.
"This resplendence is nothing to me!" she laughed. "Why would I value these...Ah! A golden throne... Adonis Lukyan’s pride!" she snorted. "That gem... I forgot the name..."
With her back to the soldiers standing there, her attention turned towards the throne. "To show my power... What does that mean? Do you want a demonstration of my power, Maximus? Like a jester in your court, or a street magician... should I humor you? Isn’t that want you to want?" her sharp eyes fixed on Maximus.
The soldiers stood there not knowing what to do or if they should attack her. That woman – Princess Alexandra—as she is called, is standing tall in front of them, glowing like a moon in the halls of their rulers. And their Emperor is not giving any orders against that woman. What should they do? They looked at Julius and he let out a sigh.
He didn’t think things would end up here. One day, all the monsters in the forest disappeared and from then on, Maximus became more and more focused on wars and destruction. Even more vehemently than before.
Julius had a feeling that things are not well, but he didn’t predict it would be this serious. He has sent Elrich to the gates as his spies gave information that Arioch is headed towards the city. Maximus hinted to him to secure the Temple and the security there is fortified.
But the Priests all said about the disturbance in their prayers as if something dark is about to cover up the world. And now, this woman is acting this way?
Julius did not find that this is a coincidence. Something is going on. His eyes ended up at the mysterious woman who is loved by his wife, smirking.
But even in that smirk, he couldn’t see evil. He might be biased because she has helped their family extraordinarily. His wife is pregnant thanks to her. He cannot doubt her anymore. And he did have a feeling that she won’t hurt Maximus or the others. He just did.
He urged the confused soldiers to not try and attack the Princess and focus on sending away the ones who are here to watch a show. With swords drawn, the Ministers were asked to leave much to the protest of the Minsters.
