Chapter 454: The Fate Of The Two Princes Of The Hellan Kingdom

Prince Lionel and Prince Rufus arrived at the capital of the Anaesha Dynasty, Veritas.

Both of them were dressed according to their rank because Conner didn’t want to give Empress Sidonie a bad impression. The young warriors of the Kraetor Empire escorted the two Princes to the throne room to meet with the young Empress who had full command of their army.

Prince Lionel walked the wide hallways of the Palace with anticipation. At first, he thought that The Organization finally decided to dispose of him, but was relieved when he was told that he would be sent as a hostage to the current ruler of the Anaesha Dynasty, Princess Sidonie.

‘I knew that the Princess cared for me,’ Prince Lionel thought as he walked with a spring in his steps. ‘Perhaps she finally understands that I am the only man that can match her intellect and beauty.’

Walking behind him was Prince Rufus who had a solemn expression on his face. Unlike his older brother that was infatuated with the Princess, the Second Prince of the Hellan Dynasty only felt dread.

He felt much safer staying inside a cell in one of Deus’ Prisons, rather than having an audience with the most beautiful young lady in the continent. Prince Rufus already knew about the power of Empress Sidonie’s Charm.

Since she was the one that his older brother adored, the Second Prince had also gathered information about her. The two of them were rivals who fought for the throne. It was only natural to know your opponent’s weaknesses.

For Prince Rufus, meeting Empress Sidonie was similar to walking to the gallows for an execution. Once he was Charmed, he would no longer have a will of his own and would only follow Empress Sidonie’s every order.

‘No matter what happens, I will not make eye contact.’ Prince Rufus vowed in his heart. ‘I don’t care if this stupid brother of mine becomes a mindless puppet. I still want to see Rebecca. I refuse to be Charmed!’

When the two massive doors of the Throne Room were opened, Prince Lionel immediately saw the lady of his dreams.

Empress Sidonie sat on a golden throne and looked at the Crown Prince with a sweet smile on her face. She even made a gesture for the Prince to walk forward, so that she could get a better look at him.

Prince Lionel didn’t need someone to tell him what to do. He walked towards the Empress with confidence and returned her smile with a smile of his own.

Prince Rufus, on the other hand, kept his head bowed and stared at the floor as if his life depended on it. One of the guards that had escorted the two Princes gave Prince Rufus a push on his back to make him walk forward.

Knowing that he had no choice but to obey, Rufus walked forward with even steps. He only stopped when the guard told him to stop, where he, and Prince Lionel were forced to kneel in front of their Empress.

“It has been a while, Prince Lionel,” Empress Sidonie said in a tone that was as smooth as silk. “I pray that you have been well since the last time we saw each other.”

Prince Lionel’s smile widened. “I’m afraid that not everything went well after the two of us parted, Princess Sidonie.”

“That’s Empress Sidonie to you!” Prince Jason commented from the side.

Prince Jason didn’t like the fawning expression on Prince Lionel’s face because he was blatantly showing his adoration to the Empress whom he had already claimed as his own in his heart.

“Of course,” Prince Lionel nodded apologetically. “Forgive me for my rudeness, Empress Sidonie. It was wrong of me to address you improperly.”

“You are forgiven, Prince Lionel,” Empress Sidonie replied as her eyes glowed with power. “Do you remember the order that you gave the members of Deus back at the Ravenlord Citadel?”

“How could I possibly forget?” Prince Lionel eyed the young Empress with a loving gaze. “I asked them to capture you and bring you to my room, so that I can shower you with my love.”

The Crown Prince of the Hellan Kingdom had been completely Charmed and he couldn’t lie even if he wanted to.

“Bastard!” Prince Jason exclaimed in anger as he drew his sword from his scabbard. “I’ll end your filthy life!”

Prince Jason was about to cut off Prince Lionel’s head when a single word stopped him in his tracks.

“Wait.”

Empress Sidonie’s order contained a hint of her Divinity, which made Prince Jason’s heart shudder, forcing him to stop his attack.

“You wish to shower me with your love?” Empress Sidonie asked.

Prince Lionel nodded as he felt his heart strings being plucked one by one by her sensuous voice. “I’ve always wanted you to be my wife. For so many years, I have waited. Ever since I saved you during that hunting expedition, my heart has belonged to you, and only to you.”

Prince Lionel’s voice was so filled with his overflowing feelings and passion that the people inside the
