Chapter 685: 683 Intention_1

"You don't want to be an emperor anymore?"

Descending from the Holy Mountain, Colin stared in astonishment at Prince Harrison beside him.

"Yes, Master."

"If you are concerned about public opinion, or those jesters in Dragon City, I can help you smooth things out…"

"No thanks, Master, I'm serious." Prince Harrison faced Colin's gaze with a frank expression, "Let Judy ascend the throne; it'll save a lot of troubles. Besides... you might find it hard to believe, but when I resolved to assassinate Gregory, I suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of relief."

"Relief?"

"Yes. Only then did I realise that I never really wanted to be emperor, I didn't want to bear such a heavy burden."

Colin studied Prince Harrison beside him seriously, noting that his face held no hint of regret or worry, but instead seemed to be filled with a sense of liberation, as if reborn.
