Chapter 229: Calm before Storm
"We have to kill him, making him feel as much terror and pain as our families felt. Only then could our loved ones’ souls be able to rest in peace." One of the men shouted as he threw kerosene oil on the prince.
Hundreds of people looked at the prince with bloodshot eyes, holding all sorts of weapons, ready to give him a death worthy of his crimes.
...
Right after hearing about the youngest prince’s departure, the king left the castle.
He was shaken and had a really bad feeling about this. He regretted not just tying him down and keeping the youngest prince close, but why would he leave the castle with no guards whatsoever?
The prince was still wearing his rings, and Henry could vaguely sense his presence through one of those rings. With all his might he flew towards his son, each passing second making him feel as if the youngest prince was going farther away from him.
He came close to the dark alley and was shocked to see the large group of people gathered there, and then he heard the screaming sound.
Although it sounded completely different from his son, for some reason Henry felt his heart stop for a moment.
Gritting his teeth, he flew towards the altar at full speed and landed with a resounding explosion, throwing off the people that were busy torturing the young prince.
"F- Fath..." The person tied to the bamboo, who had countless injuries all over his body and was barely alive, called out before falling unconscious.
All the people that had been busy throwing all sorts of things at the prince and cutting his body suddenly froze. They wondered if the king wanted to take away the demon lord Vritra, but they couldn’t speak in front of him.
"..." Without saying anything, Henry approached his son, feeling the weight of each step. With trembling hands, he touched his shoulder and examined him.
