章節 99: Imperial Secrets

The once-proud haughty emperor, ruler of the continent of Hyesong was reduced to a pitiful lifeless being as his quivering eyes stared into space. It seemed Ji Yao's words had touched on the man's worst experience and he was forced to speak.

What was it about his mother's palace that had this man trembling in pain with an ashen face? It was the dark history of how his family maintained this throne for the past fifty years.

Before the incident happened five decades ago his father's already frail body weakened further as he lost the support of his prime ministers. A power overthrow was imminent with rumours that the officials were pushing support for a powerful general whose family helped unify this continent.

Fortunately for his father, the incident happened and none cared about who was on the throne as they focused on saving themselves and their families. The man who was meant to replace him charged into battle fighting the powerful invaders.
