Chapter 1559: Chapter 902: Two Princes and Another Prince_1 Chapter 1559: Chapter 902: Two Princes and Another Prince_1 At a distant corner of the magnificent and majestic Coldflame Royal City.
Inside a spacious and bright castle hall, an atmosphere of nobility and luxury still filled the air.
Under the illumination of numerous dazzling crystal tassel chandeliers, the white walls were embedded with a large number of exquisite patterns like golden hollow swirls, leaves, and scalloped flowers, emitting a dazzling, eye-catching glow.
Two rows of huge stone pillars carved with delicate paintings led to the towering glazed ceiling, adding to the grandeur of the entire hall.
However, in stark contrast to this luxurious scene, the atmosphere within the hall was incredibly gloomy, with oppressive and heavy air, almost suffocating some.
At the lower end of the hall stood dozens of nobles in opulent attire, heads bowed in silence.
At the upper end of the hall, a fortyish man with wavy long hair, dressed in a red noble outfit and wearing a golden crown, sat on a golden throne at the center.
His veins bulged on his clenched hands as he gripped the armrests of the throne, and his burly body leaned forward. On his sullen face seething with anger, he glared condescendingly at the nobles below.
Needless to say, this man was the Great Prince.
Not far from the Great Prince, there was a slightly smaller temporary throne, on which sat a tall, slim man dressed in a golden, extravagant noble robe.
About thirty-seven or eight years old, his face was pale, with prominent cheekbones and a glint of cunning and gloominess in his brown eyes. Both his figure and appearance differed greatly from the Great Prince.
However, his curly black hair, the shiny golden crown on top of his head, and the arrogance and disdain that permeated his being were strikingly similar to the Great Prince.
This man was the Second Prince, who had gained the support of the New Aristocracy.
The introverted Second Prince, though not as overtly furious, still bore a sullen expression on his face, his teeth grinding relentlessly, producing a creaking sound.
For a moment, even the shimmering crowns couldnât alleviate the heaviness in the air.
âHow could an army of 300,000 with such a strong presence be completely wiped out in such a short time? Even if they lined up for 30 Tier 5 Powerhouses to ravage one by one, the defeat wouldnât have come so swiftly!â
The Great Princeâs furious roar reverberated in the lavish hall, âYou bunch of useless incompetents! You canât even defeat a single lowly Otherworlder!â
âBrother, calm your anger. The situation is far more complex than we anticipated.â
The Second Prince stroked his chin, his tone grimly revealing a touch of surprise, âAside from that despicable Otherworlder, there were four Tier 5 Powerhouses who joined consecutively, including not only the White Knight, who had been missing for some time, but also that sinister old Unknown Character!â
âThat damned White Knight must have been deceived by that despicable Otherworlder. Itâs not too big a deal. But I never expected that old Unknown Character to actually help the despicable Otherworlder!â
The Great Prince spat angrily, his handsome face flushed from rage, and bellowed hysterically, âThat old scoundrel who bends his elbow outward!â
âIt cannot be entirely said that way. After all, the despicable Otherworlder is assisting that loathsome Youngest Prince.â
The Second Prince snorted coldly, his words filled with disdain and contempt, âThat spoiled, willful, naive Youngest Prince really latched onto the right leg this time.â
âI regret not getting rid of that source of trouble back then!â
The Great Prince gripped the armrests of the throne, his face severely contorted with unwillingness, âWhatâs even more unexpected is that a mysterious Dragon Knight would stand with that despicable Otherworlder!â
Upon hearing the Great Princeâs words, the nobles at the lower end of the hall couldnât help but swallow nervously.
Dragon Knights, the noble existence that had disappeared from the Human various countries for over a century, why would they help a despicable Otherworlder? It was simply baffling!
âIndeed. But no matter how I think about it, the mysterious Dragon Knightâs appearance is too abrupt. That despicable Otherworlder hasnât been here long. How could he have the assistance of a top-tier power like a Dragon Knight?â
The Second Princeâs turbid eyes rolled around as he propped his chin and pondered, âThere must be something fishy going on behind this, perhaps related to the recent appearance of the three Red Dragons in my Coldflame Domain.â
âNow is not the time to investigate the identity of the Dragon Knight.â
The Great Prince seemed to have calmed down somewhat and furrowed his brows, âThe key issue is that both my Black Duke and your Number 3 have lost their lives. That despicable Otherworlder will undoubtedly take advantage and strike quickly toward our main base. How should we respond?â
âYour Highness, itâs not just that. All four Kingdom Generals have fallen as wellâŠâ
A corpulent, traditional noble stepped forward and cautiously relayed, âThe latest intel shows that the despicable Otherworlder is still on the counterattack, having already captured several of our cities.â
Needless to say, this man was the Chief Judge of the Royal Capital Supreme Court, Sebel, the top sycophant under the Great Prince.
âMy Chief Judge, thank you for the reminder. I almost forgot about those four hollow, ostentatious wretches. Even if they hadnât died, I would have personally killed them for tarnishing my honor. There will always be people coveting the position of a Kingdom General.â
