Chapter 591: Emperor's Decision

The grand hall fell into a hushed silence as Emperor Galen, ruler of the Orion Empire, made his way to the centre of the court. 

His imposing figure exuded an air of authority that commanded respect. His gaze settled upon the shattered remnants of the plasma sword and Keron, who stood with shame on his face.

"Enough," Emperor Galen spoke with a voice that echoed through the hall. "This duel was meant to settle grievances with honour and integrity. Keron, you defiled the sanctity of the spar by resorting to a weapon. Explain yourself before I kill you myself."

Keron's eyes darted between Emperor Galen and Reaper, his lips trembling with fear as he immediately went to his knees. He knew the Emperor's legendary rage well and did not want to face it, even if it meant betraying his so-called lord.
