Rise of the Legendary Emperor

Chapter 232: Arwen’s true strength

When King Edward and Queen Sienna had a relieved expression when they saw Don. As for Don, he recognized Prince Timothy of Vreston from the gathering as well as Amber, and Yvonne.

Amber was weeping and buried her head into Sienna's bosom as Yvonne seemed extremely angry with her bloodshot eyes. But even she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Don as a small grin appeared on her face.

Unlike the royal family, Prince Timothy and the people who were standing behind him looked shocked and troubled when they noticed him walking towards them.

"King Don"

Queen Sienna and King Edward shouted at the same time as Amber wiped away her tears.

"What is happening here?"

Don didn't even look at Timothy or anyone with him as he directly asked King Edward.

"It doesn't concern you, King Don"

Don heard Timothy's voice from behind but he didnt tub back to mind him.

"They are here to make Amber marry Olivia's brother, King Don "

He had no idea of who's Olvia's brother and why Yvonne seemed so outraged about this but looking at the royal family's faces, he guessed that Olivia's brother might not be a good match for Amber, hence, Queen Sienna's shout he heard before.

Seeing he not even turn to look at him, Timothy's anger rose in his heart as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.

"Every rank four kingdoms and even some upper-rank kingdom knows about that sick bastard, he's not only a womanizer and an alcoholic, but he also enjoys abusing girls"

"Watch your tongue, Yvonne, you are talking about the Prince of Vreston"

Don knitted his brows and looked at Amber and then King Edward and SIenna as he sighed.

"I say it again, King Don, It doesn't concern you, this is between Sigalla and Vreston"

The way he said Vreston sounded like he was threatening him and Don didn't like to be threatened.

"This wouldn't have concerned me if Amber isn't working for me, Prince Timothy, since she is, this does concern me, Princess"

He turned back and said and then he looked at Amber

"Princess, do you like to get married to him?"

Amber immediately shook her head 

"There you have her answer, she doesn't want to get married to him, King Edward, do you have anything else to talk to Prince Timothy here?

"No, King Don, we have nothing else to discuss, guards show them the way out"

"Are you sure, King Edward? Because last I've heard, the only water source you still has is coming from Vreston"

Queen Sienna and King Edward were startled to hear Timothy as he let out an evil grin.

"I'm a reasonable man, King Edward, after the Crown prince marry princess Amber, Sigalla and Vreston will be more than neighbors and you'll get constant water supply from Vreston"

According to the Vreston Kingdom, the crown prince must marry first before his siblings, so Timothy could only marry Olivia if her brother married someone first.

The reason they chose amber was for a simple reason, Vreston could force King Edward with the water source that they control and no other princesses or nobles would choose to marry a maniac like Olivia's brother.

"You son of a bitch, how dare you to blackmail them?"

Yvonne stepped forward with a clenched fist while the two people behind Timothy quickly placed their hands on their swords as Don slightly raised his hand and stopped Yvonne.

Queen Sienna was shivering in anger and helplessness as she was stuck between the well being of her kingdom and her daughter.

"Queen Sienna, you can open a portal to Agoria, right?"

"Good choice, King Don"

Timothy grinned as he thought that Don had decided to leave Sigalla.

"Can you or can you not?"

Don asked again looking at Sienna who seemed perplexed hearing his question.

"I...I can" 

"Good, then you'll get a constant supply of water from Agoria until the dam is built," he said to King Edward and Sienna as he turned his gaze towards TImothy

"I don't care what you do with your water supply, but from now on, Sigalla will get water from Agoria without any charges, they have my word"

Yvonne smirked and showed Timothy her middle finger as Timothy couldn't hold his anger anymore and started to shiver.

"You think you can barge in and put your nose into Vreston's business?"

"By forcing princess Amber to marry someone she dont like, you made it my business, now that you have no more cards to play, you can see yourself out"

Don calmly said and fanned the anger in Timothy's heart.

"You three, show these fools their place"

Don had already noticed the two men standing in silence behind were mid-level grandmasters and the others in the group were peak level great masters.

Two mid-level grandmasters and four peak level great masters gave Timothy the confidence to beat Don who was a peak level grandmaster.

He too was a peak-level great master so he thought that he could stop the man behind Don, Arwen.

"Splash"

However, the moment the two men took a step forward at Don, a hot liquid splashed at TImothy's face.

"AH!"

Queen Sienna and Amber screamed as a head flew in the air and blood sprayed out from the man's neck who tried to touch Don.

"Grandmaster"

Yvonne stepped back in shock looking at Arwen as blood dripped down from the dagger he was holding in his hand.

Arwen might be a low-level grandmaster but he was cultivating bound energy and that made him as powerful as a mid-level grandmaster. Plus he also studied the Asura archer book under Knight's guidance and that made his movements lightning-fast and improved his close combat abilities.

"HOW DARE YOU!"

Timothy's scream echoed through the hall but Arwen leaped into the air and raised arrows on the group.

The remaining grandmaster quickly cast a protective shield around him and Timothy but the others were not as quick as him.

The headless body was keeping spraying blood all around the place and Reghys had to form an invisible shield around them to keep the blood from spraying on them.

The gory continued as Arwen's arrows penetrated the bodies of the peak great masters. Arwen didnt use any fancy spells but coated his arrows with bound energy as the energy was so powerful and each arrow that hit the shield around Timothy weakened the shield.

"Guards!"

"What's happening?"

Just as Timothy yelled, Harris and the guards of Vreston rushed into the throne hall. The timing between Arwen beheaded the man and rained arrows on the others was so short and because of that, when the guards entered the throne hall, they could only see a bunch of dead bodies that had arrows sticking out of their heads and Timothy crouching under a blue shield with his bodyguard.

"Void Arrow"

Arwen didn't care about the guards coming as he fired a black arrow at the shield around Timothy aiming at his grandmaster guard.

"STOP!"

Harris shouted at Arwen before even the guards of Vreston could but he was too late as the black arrow penetrated the shield and went right through the chest of Timothy's guard.

Yvonne couldn't believe how easily he took down two grandmasters but only Arwen knew that Reghys blocked the last grandmaster's energy somehow and prevented him from casting any more spells.

"Shit"

The grandmaster growled and tried to heal himself using the life energy but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't. Because of Reghys behind of everyone and she only her power for fraction of a second, no one noticed the magical fluctuations around Reghys.

"No, don't!"

The grandmaster cried when he saw Arwen preparing to fire another arrow but Don glanced at him as Arwen didn't release the arrow from his bow.

"Prince Timothy, tsk tsk tsk"

Don said and slowly walked towards Timothy through the puddle of blood.

Harris tried to stop him but his mouth refused to speak anything as he stood there without being able to move. Sienna's face turned green and she looked like she was about to vomit and Amber had already started to throw up looking at the headless body.

"You should have left while you had the chance"

"No, no, no you can't kill me, King Otello would not leave you alive if you touch me"

"Kill that bastard, King Don"

Yvonne shouted at Don as Timothy crawled back in fear.

"I don't care about the history between you and King Edward, but from today, you leave them be, do you understand?"

Don asked Timothy as he saw a dark-colored blade slowly coming out of his sleeve end.

"Wait! Wait, i...i"

Timothy stuttered in fear as Don drove his blade through the head of the guard beside him. Timothy's anger faded away in a flash and overwhelming fear clutched his heart and mind when he saw the light in his guard's eyes dim.

"Do you understand, Prince Timothy?"

Don unsheathed his shadow blade and looked at Timothy.

All the main guards and lieutenants he brought with him had lost their lives and the remaining soldiers of Vreston were just normal foot soldiers, so they had no courage to stop Don from harming their prince. Besides, the black-armored guards of Don seemed like they would massacre them the moment they move their muscle against their king.

"King Don, please don't kill him"

King Edward stepped forward and said but Don didn't turn back to look at him as his gaze was still locked on Timothy.

"I understand, just don't kill me"

Timothy was not a fool as he clearly understood the position he's in and acting high and mighty would only get himself killed, so he decided to change his colors and plead to him.

"Take your men and leave Sigalla, is that clear?"

Timothy quickly nodded and sighed in relief.

"Yes, I will leave Sigalla now"

Good"

Don said as Timothy quickly stood up and rushed out of the throne hall without even taking the dead bodies of his men.

"Sorry about the mess, King Edward"
