Alexi Ethren calmly posed a look towards Iona Ethren before he glanced at his father, who still seed to be screaming and begging for rcy.
At this point, he figured that his father was going to die within a few minutes if he kept this up, so he used the core of the array to stop producing flas and instead sealed his father inside.
Kaiser Ethren groaned in pain. His entire body was burnt, scorched so much that even good facial features weren’t visible. He beca charred black while possessing no dark blue hair, revealing himself to be bald.
Not to ntion that he was completely naked, his display akin to being publicly shad and humiliated. However, right now it was least of his concerns as he was still groaning in pain.
"Good..." Iona Ethren narrowed her eyes as she uttered a word of content.
She cast her eyes to Kaiser Ethren, her husband, and yet there was no trace of worry or care.
"First Mother, you’ve misunderstood again. I’ll execute him after I and my master publically announce his cris. There’s no need for First Mother to step in these muddled waters."
Iona Ethren glanced at Alexi Ethren as she knitted her brows. Just when she was about to reply, she was interrupted
"First Mother, why do you think that your son, Hadre Ethren, the newly crowned Emperor hasn’t appeared yet?"
Iona Ethren narrowed her eyes that it beca two tiny slits.
"It’s because the Emperor and I reached a consensus. I swore to the heavens in front of him that I would not target the throne of this Empire before the coronation ceremony if he didn’t appear in this scene."
"And from the looks of it, the new Emperor seems to have turned a blind eye to my actions..."
Alexi Ethren chuckled.
Iona Ethren looked stunned on hearing this revelation.
"I see..." She closed her eyes before opening with a determined glint, "If that is my son’s will, then so be it!"
Then even without turning to give a final look at her husband, Iona Ethren left the scene as she took to the direction of her new palace, living as the Empress Dowager.
Alexi Ethren beca stunned for a mont before he shook his head.
’Sigh, a power-hungry woman indeed... She decisively chose to follow her son’s footsteps since he is now in power...’
’But for Hadre to not reveal his intentions to his mother...’
’Could it be that first mother knew about this all along and only ca to make a fake impression on all of us!?’
Alexi Ethren gulped thinking like this as he felt that there was a fifty percent chance for this to be plausible.
Fortunately, he wanted nothing to do with this woman or this Empire after he had got his vengeance.
He looked at his master and his heart palpitated with excitent that he never possessed before!
Contrary to what Alexi Ethren mused about the Empress Dowager, the others more or less believed that the Empress Dowager chose her son before her husband.
They could understand her, thinking that Kaiser Ethren was already a lost cause and there was no use, fighting over a broken and almost dead shell. They felt that all she could do was rely on her son to make her ends et.
Looking at the miserable figure of his father, Alexi Ethren knew that his vengeance was a done deal, so he didn’t ponder on it too much, ready to take the brunt of being a father-killer in a few minutes.
All that was left for him and his master to announce his father’s cris.
Without delaying a beat, he started by announcing the cris, one by one, each in a detailed manner.
About how his father killed without restraint and violated nurous won... About how his father caused female infanticide, killing his own daughters in order to change his luck to father sons instead of daughters.
Lastly, it was about his mother and the things he did.
This speech alone went for five minutes and would’ve caused many to frown, the cris that were listed even caused the Royal Protectors who were equally in the know to frown in displeasure.
They seed to be thinking that even if they did it, they wouldn’t do this openly or even reveal it to the public so as to maintain the image and aura of a wizened expert.
On the other hand, Kaiser Ethren was a tyrant who loved to bully people until they groveled in front of him, begging for forgiveness.
Such acts were only allowed in this Empire since he was the Emperor.
"Montarily, my master who had trained
will continue to add to this Scum Emperor’s list of cris!"
Alexi Ethren yelled ferociously.
His aning was clear, that no one can object to this sentencing of his or even question his authority at this point.
His master trembled and took to the front, passing by the sides of the array where one can clearly bypass the seal or the fla attack through a specific route.
Clearly, the woman seed to know the ins and outs of the fiery array despite her ager cultivation. She almost reached inside the cloud formation and spoke as her voice thundered!
"Kaiser Ethren you womanizing scum! You will pay for your cris!"
Five minutes were enough to ti for Kaiser Ethren to at least save his face by literally keeping up and restoring his appearance. Yes, with so kind of dicinal pill, he had begun to heal his burn injuries, mainly over his face before he moved on to his privates.
He already wore new clothes, taken from his spatial ring but even then, his new clothes were stained by the pus that ca out when his skin regenerated
He looked like a bloodied man who had jumped out of a heavily contaminated sewer.
However, when he heard the voice of this woman, he shuddered. It was that sa voice that enraptured him into scheming for that woman when he was a madman, killing his own daughters so that he could father sons by relying on evil rituals and techniques of dubious origins.
Alexi Ethren blinked and wondered why his master changed her voice.
The answer was revealed the next mont.
"Arianna..." Kaiser Ethren seed to mutter in a trance as his lips moved. However, it ca off as inaudible to the others.
"Pfftt!!" But then he suddenly laughed as he sprayed a mouthful of blood, his injuries becoming even worse in the process.
"Hehehe!"
Alexi Ethren’s master who was called Arianna laughed with him. Their peals of laughter were equally crazy as if they weren’t expecting it would co to this stage at all.
Alexi Ethren frowned for a mont before he bellowed at his father, "Old fart! Stop laughing at my master!"
Kaiser Ethren looked at Alexi Ethren with a dumbfounded expression on his face.
"Hahaha!" He couldn’t help but laugh again, further aggravating his injuries in the process.
"I understand... I understand now! I understand why my life would fall into this ss!"
"How long have you been calculating this!? Hahaha!"
Kaiser Ethren couldn’t hold his crazed laughter. It was as if he realized whose fault that he was going to die and no longer cared about his life and death.
"Hehehe... Laugh all you want... For this day, I’ve been calculating for two hundred and fifty years, the day I can personally behead you myself!" Arianna coldly chuckled.
"Hahaha! Behead
yourself!!?"
"Look at you! You haven’t even grown in cultivation since the ti I made you my woman and had you birth my child!" Kaiser Ethren mockingly laughed.
