Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Eira’s Punishment, Others’ Thoughts
“Your Majesty, please let me take Alex. I must avenge Logan!” Henry said, his eyes red with emotion.
Felix, Luke, James, Atlas, and Aiden all quickly looked at Empress Eira.
Aiden felt a bit worried in his heart. If Eira really agreed to Henry’s request, it wouldn’t be good for him at all.
Henry would definitely target him, and that would cause a big problem.
“Today is the first time you entered the palace. I know you were too angry because of Logan, and you lost your temper for a moment.”
“But now, you’ve broken my order and left your mansion on your own. Do you think I, the Empress of the Great Shaw Empire, won’t punish you?”
Eira’s face was as cold as ice. She suddenly hit the imperial scepter on the ground.
Immediately, a terrifying pressure appeared.
In the sky over the Sovereign City, a shadowy giant dragon quickly formed.
Then, the dragon’s image flew straight down from the sky and landed behind Eira.
The golden eyes of the giant dragon looked coldly at Henry. Just one look, and Henry’s legs started to shake. He seemed to lose all his strength and fell to his knees.
“The Golden Dragon of National Destiny, your Majesty, I am your brother!” Henry looked shocked, his face showing both fear and great surprise.
In this world of Reclassers, a ruler needed strong power to make others obey.
Besides the army, the greatest strength that Empress Eira controlled was the Golden Dragon of National Destiny, the embodiment of the Great Shaw Empire’s national fortune.
It could be said that as long as the Great Shaw Empire wasn’t destroyed and its power remained strong, even a divine powerhouse would find it hard to kill Eira.
Of course, if Eira made too many wrong decisions, and the people of the Great Shaw Empire no longer supported her, the country’s power would decline, and the strength of the Golden Dragon of National Destiny would also weaken, maybe even become very weak.
Now, by calling the fake Golden Dragon of National Destiny, it already showed that Eira was extremely angry at this moment, and she didn’t care about any feelings at all!
Henry felt a bit angry in his heart. Logan was his son, and also Princess Kelsey’s cousin. But now, Eira not only didn’t support him, but also acted like this.
He gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but the strength of the Golden Dragon of National Destiny was something he could never fight against.
No matter how hard Henry struggled, he could not get up from his knees.
His eyes were full of bloodshot veins, and the tiny blood vessels on his exposed skin burst open, letting out small drops of blood. He looked very pitiful.
At this moment, Felix suddenly spoke up, trying to stop him. “Your Majesty, Henry was just too eager to find out the truth. He…”
Before he could finish his words, Eira’s cold gaze immediately fell on him.
“Felix, you have gone too far. Do you think the orders of the Empress of the Great Shaw Empire can be broken so easily by anyone?”
Eira’s voice was very calm, but everyone in the room had a sudden change in expression.
Felix immediately dropped to his knees without hesitation, saying nothing in defense or trying to change the subject. He just nervously replied.
“Your Majesty, I dare not.”
Eira calmly looked at the two men kneeling on the ground, Felix and Henry, with no expression on her face. She exuded the powerful aura of an emperor.
She was the ruler of the Great Shaw Empire. Not only did she have a large army, but she could also control the powerful Golden Dragon of National Destiny.
At this moment, the pressure of the emperor suddenly appeared in the hearts of everyone present.
Eira looked around, and most people instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to meet her eyes.
She slowly opened her mouth and said.”Aiden is a hero of the Empire, the top scorer in the National College Testing, and he is also going to lead other Reclassers from the Empire to participate in the Global Reclasser Exchange Competition.”
“This kind of person could never be connected to the Evil Demons Guild!”
“Luke, Alex is in your hands. Question him, investigate him. Unless I give the order, no one can interfere.”
Luke quickly let out a breath, glanced at Henry who was still kneeling on the ground, and replied.”Understood!”
Henry looked like a deflated balloon, his body lost all strength, and his face turned pale.
He clearly knew that when the Empress Eira said that, it meant she had completely taken Aiden’s side.
“Why? Why? Logan was the royal’s genius, Kelsey’s cousin. Wasn’t he more important than Aiden?”
“Your Majesty, I did nothing wrong!” Henry said through clenched teeth.
He suddenly turned his head, glaring at Aiden with endless killing intent.
If there wasn’t the Golden Dragon of National Destiny holding him back, and if there were no other strong people around, he would have attacked Aiden without hesitation.
His son, Logan, had made a bet with Aiden, and during the final test, Logan had an accident.
If there was no connection to Aiden, he would never believe it.
Aiden had to die!
Henry, completely focused on killing Aiden, didn’t notice that Empress Eira’s eyes had turned even colder.
She lifted her imperial scepter slightly, and the shadow of the Golden Dragon of National Destiny behind her quickly opened its huge mouth, spitting out a stream of golden light. It quickly formed golden chains that fell onto Henry’s body.
Henry tried to struggle, but he could only watch as the golden chains completely locked him up.
When the golden chains touched his skin, spikes immediately grew on their surface and pierced into his flesh.
Henry’s face instantly showed pain and distortion. His body kept shaking, and even the slightest movement caused more pain.
Eira said coldly.”This is your punishment for the second time you made a mistake. The pain will go away in seven days.”
“If you do it again, even if you are the imperial prince, you won’t escape death!”
“Bring him back to his mansion!”
Soon, several high-level Reclassers ran over to Henry’s side and were ready to take him away.
The nobles of the Sovereign City and the young Reclassers around them watched the scene and couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.
“It’s over. Aiden has really made a big enemy of Henry now.”
“The Empress is really angry. She punished Henry like this. You know, even if he doesn’t move, those spikes will slowly grow!”
“What do you think? After the punishment is over, will Henry let Aiden go?”
“Of course not. The only way now is for Aiden to ask for mercy on Henry’s behalf. That might calm his anger a little.”
“You’re smart. Making another enemy is never good. Especially since Henry is an imperial prince, and he has many strong Reclassers under him.”
“Yeah, now it all depends on what Aiden does. At least, Henry is the Empress’s brother.”
Aiden, standing in the crowd, heard the whispers around him, but he didn’t show much change in his expression.
Just as those high-level Reclassers were about to take Henry away, Aiden thought for a moment, then said.
“Wait.”
He turned to look at Empress Eira of the Great Shaw Empire and said slowly.
“Your Majesty, may I ask for a little more time?”
Eira waved her hand, and the high-level Reclassers stopped immediately.
The nobles of the Sovereign City, seeing this, looked surprised and whispered to each other.
“Aiden is really good at bending and straightening. He’s definitely going to ask for mercy. Only that way can he avoid being Henry’s enemy.”
“You’re right. For many young people, face is the most important thing. I didn’t expect Aiden to think about the pros and cons first.”
“By doing that, Henry’s anger should ease a lot.”
Felix, who had been kneeling on the ground without moving, finally looked up a little and glanced at Aiden.
He was a bit worried. If things really went the way people were talking about, it wouldn’t be a good thing for him.
But after thinking carefully, Felix knew Henry well. Even if Aiden did that, it wouldn’t stop Henry from seeking revenge.
“Hmph, the anger of the Great Shaw Empire’s prince isn’t easy to calm. Aiden, by acting weak now, you’re just showing your weakness to Henry!” Felix thought to himself.
His eyes flashed with coldness. Today’s actions of the Empress Eira had already made him feel the coming danger.
If Aiden stayed alive for much longer, the conservative faction of the empire would lose all support. And his own power would be greatly limited.
So, Aiden had to be eliminated as soon as possible.
He needed to find a way to give Henry the right chance!
Felix’s mind was racing, thinking of all kinds of plans.
At that moment, Henry, still in great pain, looked at Aiden with deadly eyes and said, gritting his teeth.
“It’s all because of you, Logan became like this. Aiden, don’t think…”
He didn’t finish his words. Aiden frowned and waved his hand, then said calmly.
“I already said, Logan got what he deserved.”
“Besides, I’m not here to beg for you. Don’t get too full of yourself.”
After saying that, Aiden looked at Empress Eira and continued.
“Your Majesty, according to the bet between me and Logan, I have now won the national College Testing. I am the top scorer.”
“According to our agreement, Logan should give 10 billion to the families of the victims in The White City.”
“When will this money arrive?”
At the moment he said this, everyone in the room suddenly stared at Aiden in shock.
