Mike and Lansi were then led by Sunders to a luxurious room.
“Ninth Princess, Prince Consort, you may rest here for the night!”
After Sunders said that, he immediately left.
After Sunders had left, Lansi said to Mike, “I really didn’t know that so many things had happened during the years that I was away.”
Mike saw the sadness on Lansi’s face, so he hugged her and said, “It’s okay. Don’t you see that the palace is safe and sound now?
“Wait until tomorrow, all the traitors from the Fierce Beast Hunting Union will be liquidated! Don’t worry!”
Lansi looked at Mike and said,”My dear, although you’ve said that, I’m still curious. Why do you think that Third Brother wanted to launch a coup today?
“Wasn’t their original plan seven days later?”
Mike shook his head in reply.
“I’m also very confused about this. I’ve been thinking about this on the way, but I feel that everything will be revealed tomorrow!”
The two of them leaned against each other and finally fell asleep slowly.
…
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
In the imperial court, countless ministers entered.
At this time, they were sitting in their respective seats and talking animatedly.
The joy on their faces was indescribable.
“Wasn’t it Lord Zakaithus’ plan to make a move seven days later? Why did he suddenly move it forward?”
“Ah, who cares about him? The old king would have died one day anyway!”
“Although the first prince, Luo Hao, is on the throne now, it won’t be long before…”
Mike was standing behind a high wall, listening to the discussions of these people.
“The king is here!” Sunders said loudly as he entered the hall.
“The king is here!”
At the entrance of the court, King Roscolin III led Flendor, Brad, and a group of hatchet men into the court.
At this time, the ministers who had not figured out the situation yet, thought it was the first prince, Luo Hao.
One of them quickly stood up and raised his wine glass to welcome him with a smile.
However, when he saw King Roscolin III who seemed to have come back from the dead, the wine glass in his hand immediately fell down.
“You! How did you… not die?”
A minister with an exaggerated expression said.
“It seems that you all wish me to die!”
King Roscolin III said fiercely.
At this time, he had already come to the throne in the imperial court and sat down.
When the other ministers saw Flendor and Brad, their expressions became even more distorted.
Finally, before everyone could react, King Roscolin III spoke up.
“Bring the three princes here!”
Roscolin III’s hatchet men carried the three princes into the hall.
The three tied up as they were carried into the hall.
Their expressions were full of fear, especially the second prince, who looked crazy.
The other ministers did not dare to say anything when they saw this scene.
Time seemed to have stopped.
Seeing that everyone was silent, King Roscolin III spoke.
“The traitors of the Fierce Beast Hunting Union, you should step forward now. I can still spare your lives!”
Hearing such a majestic voice, some of the ministers stepped forward one after another.
Seeing that only four or five people had walked out, King Roscolin III said furiously.
“Only so few people? Then, what about the rest of you? Hmm?”
The other ministers were obviously shocked by this.
Some of them were so scared that they even wet their pants.
“Sunders!”
Roscolin III said.
“I’m here!”
Sunders also had a terrified look on his face as he spoke in a low voice.
“Take a look at the people in the imperial court who are traitors of the Fierce Beast Hunting Union.”
Sunders did not hesitate to walk towards the group of ministers.
Soon, Sunders pointed at one of the ministers and said.
“Your Majesty, this man is involved!”
“Bring him out!”
Roscolin III said.
The two hachet men heard him and immediately dragged the minister out.
“Your Majesty, your Majesty, I was wrong, your Majesty. Please spare me, your Majesty!”
The minister was wailing as he was dragged to the center of the court.
One of the swordsmen pulled out a sharp blade from his waist.
The minister’s head was chopped off as soon as he raised the blade.
All the ministers were stunned. They stood in the distance, not daring to move.
Seeing that these people had no reaction, Roscolin III said to Sunders.
“Sunders! Keep looking!”
Sunders then continued to move among the ministers.
At this time, a few more ministers suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground, kowtowing as they spoke.
“Me! I also participated in it. Please spare me, your Majesty! Please spare me!”
Roscolin III looked at the ministers who had suddenly appeared and begged for mercy and said.
“Hatchet men!”
The hatchet men answered in unison.
“Present!”
King Roscolin III looked coldly at the ministers and gave his order.
“Kill them all!”
The ministers were held down by the hatchet men beside them.
They cried and cried as they struggled.
The hatchet men behind them had already drawn their sharp blades out of their sheaths.
Between the flashes of the blades and the shadows of the swords, blood splattered all over the imperial court.
When the ministers who were still alive saw the violent actions of King Roscolin III, they were so frightened that their legs and legs went soft.
They spoke one after another.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It was the first prince and them who did it! It has nothing to do with me!”
Meanwhile, some of the ministers directly pointed out the others on the spot.
They looked at the people who were fighting among themselves in the imperial court.
King Roscolin III sneered and said.
“If any of you can redeem yourselves, I will spare your lives!”
After hearing this, everyone knelt down and kowtowed to show their loyalty.
“Good! Men! Take all these people away! Release them only after they have been interrogated!”
A group of hatchet men stepped forward and took these ministers away.
The entire court was empty at this time.
Only King Roscolin III, Flendor, Brad, and his three sons were left.
King Roscolin III pulled out the treasured sword that was at his waist.
He slowly walked down the throne.
“You three unfilial sons caused me to fall into such a desperate situation. You even killed countless loyal people, colluded with the Fierce Beasts to kill the Union, and betrayed the royal authority of the Lieluo Empire!
“You even dismembered my prime minister, Reg, and killed his family members!”
Hearing this, the three princes were no longer as arrogant as they were yesterday. Their voices trembled as they spoke.
“Father, father… Don’t kill your son… Don’t kill your son!”
“So you still know that I’m your father?”
King Roscolin III said angrily.
Suddenly, the sword in his hand slashed towards the first prince, Luo Hao.
A deep cut was made on Luo Hao’s throat and his blood flowed out.
Luo Hao fell down with his eyes wide open.
His body twitched as he made some sounds.
Finally, after a while, he breathed his last.
