"Kneel!!" Garrick uttered in a soft tone. "I beg your pardon!!" Eldric felt that he had misheard. "I said, Kneel before your future King!!"

"Garrick, don't go too far!!" Eldric roared. Seeing this, everyone was surprised, including his own family. Eldric has always been very calm, but this was the first time they had seen Him look this angry. "It seems you don't understand your situation." Garrick made eye contact with one of his Peak 5th-order bodyguards. "Do it!!" Eldric remained stunned as he and everyone witnessed one of his family members's head being severed with a dagger.

The whole thing took place within a few seconds. Eldric was frozen in shock. It looked like he could not believe what he was seeing. His wife, Maria, was crying. Since her mouth was sealed, she couldn't say anything. Other members of her family were also sobbing.

Since their bodies were tied to a chair and their mouths were sealed, no one was able to speak or save their family member. Garrick was watching everything with an amused smile. He loved seeing the mighty and proud Prime Minister looking helpless and defeated. "Good job!! Noah!!!" Garrick casually appraised his bodyguard. He was very satisfied with his bodyguard's action. Noah responded with a small bow. But if one looked at Noah, then one would notice that his expression looked complicated. On one hand, this was very wrong. He felt that his master was playing a very dangerous game. Even if he won right now, once the Emperor learns what he has done today, the consequences are something that his Master won't be able to handle.

But he could not go against the wishes of his master. He was bound to Garrick with a soul contract. If he refused the orders of the Crown Prince, then he was going to die. He did not want to die. So, he had no choice but to do what he was told. The sole reason why he decided to serve the Dune Sovereignty Emperor was because of all the cultivation resources that he was promised. Without these cultivation resources, he wouldn't have been able to reach Peak 5th-order in his whole life. But just because he was going to serve didn't mean he was eager to die for them. He valued his life. If not for the soul contract, then he would have gone to the Main Continent. Garrick did not interrupt Eldric.

There was silence in the living room. He was giving Eldric the time to think properly. Eldric is a very smart man. He should realize it by now that Garrick is very serious about this. This is why he did not hesitate to kill one of his family members. Around a few minutes later, with a look of struggle and defeat, Eldric, the proud Prime Minister of the Dune Sovereignty, kneeled in front of the Crown Prince. "I apologize for my rude behavior."

Hearing this, Eldric felt very helpless. He could have helped Garrick with anything. But the only thing that he couldn't help Garrick with ended up being the one thing Garrick asked of him.

"Your Royal Highness, I really apologize but I cannot help you," Eldric said in a low tone. He also looked defeated. "I can't do anything against His Majesty. I have signed a soul-binding contract. The only thing that I can do is gently pursue His Majesty."

Soul-Binding Contract is a like curse. It is used to make sure that the Emperor's subordinates never betray him. Hearing this, Garrick felt disappointed. "I see.....!!"

"It looks like I was wasting my time." Hearing this, The Prime Minister could not help but feel that there was a chance for everything to end peacefully.

Maybe, Garrick will let go of their family and end this matter here. However, things weren't going to end as Eldric hoped. Garrick's dislike towards Eldric was very deep. "If you can't help me, then you will stand against me." Hearing this sentence, Eldric's face turned pale. He felt he knew where all of this was going. "If you're going to stand against me, then this is the perfect opportunity to eliminate you. That way, I will have one less enemy to fight." At this point, Garrick considered everyone who stood in his path to become the Next Emperor as his enemy. Garrick took out his golden sword and was about to end Eldric's life. But just as Garrick was about to end his life, Emma stopped him. "Your Royal Highness, please wait." "What is it, Emma?" Garrick asked in an impatient tone. "Your Royal Highness, it would be a huge waste if you kill someone with 15000+ years of being the Prime Minister." "But we can't keep him alive. He is a threat." Garrick said while pointing his sword at Eldric. "Your Majesty, instead of killing him, why don't we capture him and hide him somewhere until we kill His Majesty? Once His Majesty dies, the Soul-binding contract will also disappear. At that time, you can make him sign another Soul-Binding Contract and make him your subordinate."

Hearing Emma's plan, Eldric felt a chill running down his spine. "Emma, I like your idea." Garrick looked at her and gave her a smile. "Let's do that!!" "Wait...!! Wait....!!" Eldric shouted in a desperate tone. "What is it?" Garrick asked. He sounded very displeased and impatient. Eldric took a deep breath to calm himself. "Your Royal Highness, if I went missing, then His Majesty will definitely become suspicious. At that time, your actions will be discovered by His Majesty." "Hmph!! His Majesty won't have time to look for you. By tomorrow morning, the Dune Sovereignty will have a New Emperor." Emma said in an arrogant tone. Garrick had a smile on his face, which indicated that he agreed with her. 'This woman!! Just who is she?' He was beginning to feel that the reason why the Crown Prince changed so much was because of this woman. "Your Royal Highness, to keep his Majesty busy for a while, we can also make it appear that Prime Minister Eldric's family was involved with the Istarin Empire." Emma looked at Maria and then Prime Minister Eldric. "We can make it look as if Maria has been secretly sending information to the Dragon Monarch. That way, we can take more time to prepare if needed." "That way, the Prime Minister's missing will be associated with the Istarin Empire."

"We can keep ourselves hidden for much longer." Eldric's face turned pale as he stared at the woman. At this moment, Emma appeared as the source of all evil. 'She is definitely the one who corrupted Garrick.' But Eldric knew that there was no hope. He cannot talk Garrick out of it. She has manipulated Garrick without him even knowing about it. "That's an excellent idea, Emma!! Let's proceed with this plan." This way, Garrick will be able to reignite the Emperor's hatred towards the Istarin Empire.
