Chapter 92: Seeking Heirs
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"The prince is missing," the attendants hurriedly informed the Emperor.
"What do you mean by ’the prince is missing’? Have you all lost your minds? You can’t even control a single person?" the Emperor shouted in frustration.
"We did our best, my lord. He went to meet Her Majesty, but after that, he’s nowhere to be found. The Duke has also gone missing. His room is filled with empty booze bottles, and it smells like he’s been drinking for a long time," the guards explained.
"A drunk person can’t disappear on his own. Find my son immediately, or I will not spare a single person here. Do you understand?" the Emperor threatened, placing his sword at their necks.
"Yes, Your Majesty," they said, then quickly left the room.
Meanwhile, the dark shadow of the almighty god appeared once again.
"My lord, don’t tell me you have a hand in this," the Emperor inquired with a hint of anger.
"Haha, now you’re showing your fangs, Zudicus? Is this what I’ve been waiting to see? I doubt it. Keep those fangs sheathed. If I see them, I’ll remove them and leave you to rot in a corner," the voice responded coldly.
"I apologize, my lord. I let my anger get the better of me. But I hope you haven’t done anything to Maximus. He’s a good child. He’s so obedient that if I ask him anything, he’ll take it to heart immediately," the Emperor pleaded.
"As I said, I had no role in this. I didn’t do anything to your son. But he got in my way. He’s been investigating the truth behind the Duchess’s disappearance, and he’s on the right track. If he doesn’t stop, I can’t guarantee what I’ll do to him. Then there will be no heir to the throne, and your dynasty will come to an end," the almighty god replied.
