Chapter 794 I Will Be Taking Everything You Have Right In Front Of Your Eyes
An Alluring smile appeared on Allura's face as well.
"Do you get it now, Ricardus?" be𝚍𝚗𝚘ve𝚕.c𝚘𝚖
Allura chuckled playfully as she glanced at Ricardus.
Ricardus, however, was too shocked to give an answer,
His son…
When did he become a King Stage Cultivator!?
Also, w-why was he holding Allura like that? When did the two of them get so close?
Allura pushed him away every time he tried to get close to her, to the point where she even slapped his hand away one time he touched her.
It seemed like she felt disgusted every time a man touched her, but…
How…
How was she allowing Raguel to… touch her like that?
Ricardus then noticed Allura's expression.
Those eyes… that look of mockery in Allura's eyes as she looked at him…
This bitch… she planned it all!!
From the start!
She was planning everything!
And not only that, she even enticed his son to join her.
"You bitch!
You think you can win against me just because you have that fool by your side!? So what if I cannot use the Shadow Unit or the Army!? Don't forget, I am a King Stage Cultivator as well.
The two of you,
I will destroy both of you at the same time!"
Ricardus shouted, his rage was apparent from his expression.
From the looks of it, it looked like he was ready to fight with his life on the line.
Allura, however, just chuckled.
"You don't get it, do you?"
"I don't need to get anything!
I just need to kill the two of you!"
Ricardus roared in rage and at the same time, his sword appeared in his hand and he rushed towards Allura and Raguel.
"Heh, do you really think you would have the chance to do that?"
Allura, however, simply dodged his attack and questioned.
"Think about it, Ricardus,
Who is your biggest enemy in the Royal Palace?
An Enemy who would do whatever it takes to get the opportunity to kill you?
An Enemy who is filled with rage and immense hatred, however, cannot move since she was tied by her responsibility.
An Enemy who is not only strong but also has the power to break all rules there are, without needing to care about the consequences."
Allura commented and Ricardus finally realized.
Ricardus froze in a spot,
Seeing this, Allura's smile widened,
"It seems that you understand it now.
Ricardus, the only reason you were alive was that there was no heir to the Throne, however, now that Raguel has become a King Stage Cultivator, and that too, at such a young age, proving his talent and potential he carries,
You now have a perfect heir who is more than capable of succeeding you,
Do you think she will just let you live now?"
Allura questioned.
"N-No, a-an Emperor c-cannot involve herself in matters r-related to Kingdom… that was the Treaty…"
"Do you think she would care?
You killed her son, Ricardus.
You think a mother would let that hatred go?
I know her more than anyone else, Ricardus.
She clearly remembers that day as if it was yesterday.
She has not forgotten and she wouldn't let you forget it either.
She is the strongest being in the entire world, Ricardus, did you really think that that stupid Treaty can save you?"
Ricardus didn't answer, he just stood there, frozen stiff.
He knew it,
In front of that woman, all sort of resistance was futile.
Even his trump card, the Shadow Unit, even these bastards would bow their heads in front of that woman and openly support Raguel, who will be projected as the new King.
"That expression, I have to say, father.
I like that.
That look of despair on that annoying face, I always wished to see something like that."
Suddenly, Raguel spoke up as well.
Then, he started walking towards Ricardus, and his expression distorted,
"I was fed up, Father.
Seeing that idiotic face of yours as the only thing you did was fuck those stupid bitches without caring about anyone.
You ignored me all my life, treating me like I am air, always thinking you are better than everyone else.
But as they say,
The higher you fly, the harder you fall."
Raguel's distorted expression started turning into a smile, he placed his hand on his father's shoulder, and with his face close to Ricardus's, he continued,
"I have to thank you, Father.
From now on,
I will be taking everything you have,
Your Throne,
Your Power,
Your Subordinates,
Your Wives,
The Woman you love but could never have,
I will be taking everything you have right in front of your eyes, and there will be absolutely nothing you can do about it."
Raguel laughed, and hearing all these words, Ricardus could see his world falling apart.
His expression turned blank.
Raguel's words echoed in his ears,
He knew it…
His time had come…
He was surrounded…
And that too, by his very own people…
The Royal Palace, the safest heaven there was, had now turned into an inescapable prison where he had been trapped and wouldn't be released no matter how hard he tried.
"Raguel…"
In the end, in a hoarse voice, Ricardus called out.
Without showing any ounce of resistance, Ricardus fell on his knees and bowed his head.
"Please… let me live…
Just do this one favor for this useless father of yours…
Let me live…"
The fear of death.
A King Stage Cultivator like Ricardus, he feared death even more than normal mortals would…
He wanted to live…
His pride as the King… his ego… none of that mattered…
Here he was… kneeling on the ground, in front of his son, begging for his life.
Seeing this scene, however, his son didn't care,
With a big smile on his face, he unsheathed his sword, and just as he was about to behead his father for good,
*Clank*
His sword was blocked.
"I knew things would go out of hand, but this…
This far outside of my expectations."
