Hail the King Chapter 628: Shocking Departure

Except for Emperor Yassin who established this empire, no one dared to say such a thing in the sky above St. Petersburg.
It was a threat! A blatant threat to the entire empire!
However, at this moment in time, no one felt like there was anything wrong with this. As they looked at that demonic figure in the sky who was standing amongst the stars, no one felt like this young king lost his mind.
As soon as everyone heard what Fei said, they all sensed a chill in their spines.
Some of the officials of the Imperial Military Headquarters thought back to what happened in this year, and they wondered if they did anything against Chambord and King Alexander. All the noble families who sided with Crown Prince Arshavin felt like there was a terrifying blade above their heads, and it was going to fall at any moment.
Right now, they already threw Crown Prince Arshavin to the back of their heads. They were thinking about how they could fix the relationship between them and Chambord.
To everyone here, the weight of King Alexander far surpassed the importance of Crown Prince Arshavin. On this continent that was ruled by the law of the jungle, people sought after power. Therefore, the weaker ones automatically felt reliant on the more powerful ones. Once the weak people spotted someone more powerful than their current leader, they would ditch this leader mercilessly and go under the protection of the more powerful.
It was the law of the survival of the fittest.
Crown Prince Arshavin clearly sensed the invisible change that was happening around him, and his fists clenched even tighter. His nails pierced into his palms, and drips of blood stained his fingers silently.
Only a few people could force themselves to stay level-headed in this situation.
Right now, they all had to wait for that person in the royal palace to speak.
It was chilly tonight, but it wasn’t as cold as some people’s hearts. At this moment, the people in the area all felt like the time was passing by too slow.
Five to six minutes passed by, and no one dared to respond to the King of Chambord.
That magnificent structure at the center of St. Petersburg represented the supreme power of the empire, but its gate was tightly closed. The royal guards who were in golden armors patrolled along the inner defense walls of the royal palace emotionlessly as if they were blind and deaf. It felt like they didn’t see and hear the threat that was not far away.
This rare silence shocked many people.
“Could it be that Emperor Yassin is so weak that he couldn’t even handle the King of Chambord? Or……”
“Arshavin, all of the grudges and resentment between us will end after this punch! After this, don’t come and bother me! Otherwise……” The King of Chambord’s voice sounded in the sky, and a powerful and pressing energy dashed down at Crown Prince Arshavin as Fei punched down. The air in the area tensed up, and the pressure was suffocating.
“How dare you?!”
“Stop!”
At this moment, the elite soldiers of the [Iron Blood Legion] all became the most loyal and bravest warriors. As they shouted, they surrounded Crown Prince Arshavin tightly and unleashed all their strength. All kinds of warrior energies flashed, and everyone gave it all, wanting to protect their commander.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
As the powerful wind blew by, hundreds of black-armored soldiers of the [Iron Blood Legion] were forced to bend down. Under Fei’s supreme power, these soldiers were forced to kneel on the ground. With their arms propping up their upper bodies, they struggled and tried their best not to completely collapse.
Golden warrior energy flames enveloped Crown Prince Arshavin who was standing in the middle.
He unleashed all his peak Six-Star warrior energy and tried to fight back. His teeth gritted against each other forcefully, and his lips were bitten so hard that blood dripped down his mouth. His spear-like straight body started to bend uncontrollably, and his feet sunk into the cracked ground.
Then, his knees started to bend.
Arshavin was giving it the last fight. He knew that the King of Chambord was trying to destroy his dignity and shame him. If he couldn’t resist against this pressure and kneeled, his honor as the Crown Prince and Zenit’s God of War would be all gone.
However, when that pressure came down from the sky, he realized that it was so powerful, making it almost indefensible.
His back started to bend, and his knees also trembled uncontrollably.
“Even if I die, I won’t kneel!”
Arshavin’s eyes opened wide as he roared, and he pulled out the sword that was hanging by his waist. The blade was chilling, and the body of the sword was smooth like the surface of calm water. Then, he turned the sword around and stabbed it toward his heart.
A prince should have his dignity, and Zenit’s God of War should have his pride.
Even if he had to commit suicide, Arshavin wasn’t willing to kneel in front of his enemy.
At this moment, the God of War of the northern bear, Zenit, showed his respectable side.
The people around Arshavin were stunned, and the soldiers of [Iron Blood Legion] were all infuriated. Blood flowed out of their eyes, and they tried their best to fight against the pressure the King of Chambord was putting on them. However, they couldn’t do anything to stop Crown Prince Arshavin, and they could only watch the tragedy occur in front of them.
Just as the blood of the prince was about to be spilled in the Capital, a voice sounded.
“Enough!” a majestic and noble voice sounded from the silent royal palace, and everyone heard it clearly.
A dash of golden warrior energy flashed by and shattered the sharp sword that was stabbing at Arshavin.
Emperor Yassin finally made his move, and he broke this dangerous situation at the most critical moment.
As the golden light shone in the sky, the insane amount of pressure that was being emitted by Fei got melted like the snow on a hot summer day. Crown Prince Arshavin was able to stand straight again, and the soldiers of the [Iron Blood Legion] who were fighting against the pressure even leaped into the air when that pressure disappeared.
The most intense moment was here……
The majesty of the royal family couldn’t be violated, and the laws and the orders of the empire couldn’t be breached. Under the gazes of numerous citizens of Zenit, would Emperor Yassin get mad and kill the King of Chambord who had been acting recklessly?
Everyone got nervous over this, and their hearts were in their throats.
Even Crown Prince Arshavin had a faint joyous and expectant emotion deep in his eyes.
However, silence took over.
Five to six minutes after the appearance of that golden sword energy, nothing else happened; the royal palace resumed its former quietness. After Emperor Yassin who rarely showed himself in public said that one word, nothing else happened. It felt like saying that one word used up all his stamina.
Everyone was surprised to see this.
“Whose side is the emperor on?” they thought.
Soon, the more intelligent people started pondering.
On the other hand, Crown Prince Arshavin clenched his fists again. He slowly closed his eyes and locked all his emotions inside. Beside him, his loyal soldiers of the [Iron Blood Legion] all looked angry and sad, and they held onto their weapons tightly.
It was the darkest moment in the night.
Fei looked at the shiny and fancy royal palace that wasn’t too far away.
He already sensed the will of the terrifying emperor, and he knew that this was the furthest he could push. This was the silent tactic understanding between him and the emperor.
“After this incident, what I want to achieve is already done. I taught Arshavin a big lesson, shocked all kinds of people, and showcased my strength. Who else dares to target Chambord and the people around me? There shouldn’t be people daring enough to disrupt my wedding 12 days from now.”
It was impossible for Fei to kill the most powerful and the most influential prince of the empire.
After all, that person in the royal palace wouldn’t let that happen, and the king didn’t want to become the enemy of that legendary emperor.
In addition, the empire wasn’t in a peaceful time; there were many undercurrents within the region. Although the king didn’t like Arshavin, he had to admit that this prince was a great military commander. In the chaos era that was about to come, this prince could use his talent to fend off the potential enemies and protect this land that Martial Saint Krasic died for.
After Fei looked around, [The Throne of Chaos] flashed and created a series of ripples. Then, they disappeared in the sky completely as if they never came here.
Everyone let go of the breaths that they were holding in, and they felt like the pressure on them was gone.
“Why didn’t you show up? What? You don’t think you can face me? This is disappointing!” Fei’s voice resonated in the sky.
This was what he said before he left, and most people didn’t know who it was for.
TL NOTE: Well, this is a little anti-climactic since the prince isn’t killed, but I assure you that it is for something bigger later on.
