Chapter 253: Planned Abduction (2)
"Fuck! Seize that brat!" Duke Merphen shouted in anger.
As Arren’s arms were grabbed by the men, he was already shutting his eyes. The impact of what he did was still significant, even though it was a considerable distance from them.
Some pieces from the shattered window flew and hit some of the black-clothed men as their curses and groans resounded simultaneously. When he opened his eyes, he immediately checked on the empress; fortunately, he was unharmed, but Arren felt a pain in his cheek and blood dripped from his wounds.
"Arren..." The empress turned to him, and his alarmed and worried voice rang. He was about to touch Arren, but his hand was so harshly grabbed that he almost stumbled.
Arrenn’s eyes constricted and exclaimed, "Your Majesty!"
His eyes roamed and landed on Duke Merphen; instantly, a furious expression appeared in his face. "What is this disrespect, Duke Merphen? Release His Majesty!"
Duke Merphen turned to him after ordering their men and stared at him. He wasn’t as calm as earlier, but he still smiled—a kind smile that made Arren want to tear his face off in anger.
"You should worry about yourself, Arren." Duke Merphen reminded him as though he were a concerned elder, yet there was a hidden meaning underlying his words.
Arren gritted his teeth; he wanted to wriggle and escape from the men’s hold, but his actions were futile.
"Let’s go and bring that brat," Duke Merphen ordered.
Before Arren could say something, one of the men forcefully wanted to put something in his face. Arren’s anxiety grew deeper as he knew what it was.
