Did you think it was already over?
No.
It had not even begun!
Seeing that the Star Luo Emperor remained silent, the Netherworld Grand Duke made another shocking declaration:
"Not just now, but from this day forward, my Netherworld Clan will no longer be buried alongside those who fight for the Star Luo Empire's throne. Whoever becomes the empire's crown prince and is certain to become its ruler will marry the bearer of our clan's Hell Spirit Cat!"
Shocking!
He actually dared to utter such treasonous words? The imperial marshal's gaze flickered constantly. He almost thought the Netherworld Grand Duke was about to rebel.
Is he trying to overturn the rules the Star Luo Empire has followed since its founding? The Netherworld Grand Duke is so fearless today. Does he have something to rely on?
Anger ignited in the Star Luo Emperor's heart, but as the empire's ruler, he considered far more in that instant.
He decided to stall the Netherworld Grand Duke first.
"Dai Mubai's virtue does not befit his position. He is indeed unworthy of Zhu Zhuqing. I approve the dissolution of their engagement." His voice carried tremendous authority, allowing no room for doubt.
"Your Majesty, you..."
The imperial marshal opened his mouth, but the words on his tongue would not come out. He had never expected the Star Luo Emperor to compromise so readily.
"I will say it again. I approve the dissolution of their engagement."
The Star Luo Emperor waved a hand, walked over to a long table, and wrote out the document dissolving the engagement.
Yet once the document was in his hands, the Netherworld Grand Duke abruptly came to his senses.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
But the next moment, the course of events resurfaced in his mind...
*Heavens!
