Chapter 1681 - Admonishing?
"You brazen fool!"
The Frigid World Spirit Emperor looked completely disappointed and enraged.
"How could you do this to your Empire? I thought you had become an obedient child when you agreed to fulfill your role as one of the princesses but to think that you were trying to escape punishment from a vile deed that was going to be found out sooner or later."
"Imperial father...! No, you’re wro-"
"Silence!"
Princess Iesha tried to speak when she was instantly suppressed by her father’s tremendous pressure that almost made her feel faint at heart. Her lips quivered, unable to release her voice.
"Revered Frigid World Spirit Emperor. What is the meaning of this? Is this some kind of farfetched farce intended to humiliate us?"
.
A black-robed spirit with a purplish arrow-like mark on his forehead spoke with narrowed eyes. He was amidst a group of people having a similar bearing as him, but his cultivation base was alone at Peak-Level Spirit Ancestor Stage, causing many people to be respectful while looking at him.
But on the other hand, the Frigid Spirit World Emperor merely cast a look at him upon hearing as he indifferently clasped his hands.
"Entourage from the Seeker Spirit Empire, this unfilial daughter of mine hid a human inside her sacred spirit sea and let him escape yesterday by acting all obedient yesterday. I feel embarrassed on her behalf. Such immoral conduct and treachery won’t be forgiven, and she will be publically executed!"
The entourage of the Seeker Spirit Empire became shocked.
They thought this was a scheme to humiliate them, but if this was a public execution of the bride, they couldn’t interfere. Until the bride reaches the Seeker Spirit Empire, the Frigid World Spirit Empire remained responsible for the safety of their bride!
Although they might lose some of their Empire’s reputation, it is only when the bride gets kidnapped and not if the bride’s Empire took her back on account of immortality and treachery.
Honestly, this was a special case that they had no idea what to do.
On the other hand, Princess Iesha was genuinely shocked, her expression crestfallen as she looked at her imperial father.
She wasn’t even given a chance to explain?
"Pia Noel, a person who was my foolish daughter’s palace maid once, now, a loyal imperial guard, will explain the details of how my senseless daughter betrayed the Empire!"
"I know, more than you ever could, but I still deem that my Pia’s life is more precious."
Pia Noel’s eyes shook as she turned her head away.
"Hmph! Two women are still unable to see what they’ve done! Pia, you will undergo execution together with her for aiding that human to escape. As for the six others who played ignorant until asked, they will have severe punishments as well."
"I understand, my Emperor."
Pia Noel went on one knee and lowered her head. Her figure didn’t tremble at all, as if she knew that this was the fate that awaited her this day.
Princess Iesha’s white pupils trembled. She realized that this loyal girl knew that she was going to die even if she, an imperial princess, would have received a pardon. After all, there was a wide difference of status between them.
"Imperial father, you can’t do this...! I was the one who made the call to-"
"Silence, impudent girl. You are no longer my daughter. If I don’t punish you now, no one will heed my words after this day. Hmph"
Hearing her imperial father harrumph, Iesha felt downtrodden and depressed as her expression twisted into one of sorrow.
She understood that her imperial father needed to be high-handed in order to preserve order after he left, but...
Why won’t anyone understand that her actions spared the Frigid World Spirit Empire from bloodshed? Was she wrong to have acted this way?
She was willing to accept punishment but to die; she was unwilling!
"Imperial father, I..."
"Silen-"
"You shut up and listen to what I have to say!"
"You...!?" The Frigid World Spirit Emperor appeared shook that he pointed at her as his arm trembled.
"You unfilial child! You dare to disrespect me, your Emperor?"
He appeared extremely angered while Princess Iesha knew that she severely screwed up out of frustration and resentment, her face becoming paler than ice.
"Well said, Iesha!"
"...!?"
Abruptly, the expressions of everyone changed as they turned to look at a purple-robed human holding Pia Noel’s nape under his hand’s grasp.
