Chapter 803:- Disappointment

Chapter 803:- Disappointment

Just a few hours later, Garrick, along with others, returned to the Royal Palace. As soon as he returned, he requested an audience with the Emperor through his butler. Shortly after, his butler returned to let Garrick know that the Emperor was waiting for him in his study room. "Your Royal Highness, are you sure you want to do this?" Alfred was worried. As a servant, he did not want his Master to go down this path. After all, Charles was his father. Not only this whole situation would ruin the reputation of the Royal Family but it would also change Garrick. Besides, before serving Garrick, Alfred served Charles. Alfred still had deep respect and admiration for this current Emperor. Alfred felt that because Garrick was too rushed with his judgment, he wasn't ready for the Emperor. So, he supported the Emperor's decision not to make Garrick the Next Emperor. Unfortunately, Garrick saw things in a twisted way. But as his butler, Alfred couldn't even complain. Garrick stopped walking and looked at Alfred, who was behind him. "Alfred, do you think what I am doing is wrong?"

Hearing this, Alfred became nervous. This kind of question put him in a very difficult spot. If he said yes, then this would displease his Master. If he said no, then his initial question would have no meaning to it. "Your Royal Highness, I do think that His Majesty has been unfair to you, but I also feel that you're rushing things." Alfred tried his best to remain neutral. "Alfred, I am not rushing things."

"Now that Prime Minister Eldric is under my control, it's a matter of time before the Emperor learns of my act. I need to act before that happens. I need to strike while the Emperor has lowered his guard against me." Fortunately, there was no other servant in the hallway to hear their conversation. "Understood!! I guess my thinking was wrong. Please forgive me!!!!" Seeing that he cannot change Garrick's mind, Alfred apologizes to end this matter here. 'If His Royal Highness were to fail, then not only him but also I would be severely punished. There is over 80% chance that I will be publicly executed.' But there was nothing that he could do about it. Despite knowing that his master was wrong and was walking on a very dangerous path, Alfred continued to be loyal to his master. A butler must always remain loyal to his master no matter what happens. He has been by Garrick's side for over 500 years. Even if his decision would lead him to die, he was still determined to follow Garrick. "By the way, is Lady Emma not coming with us?" Alfred asked as they began walking again. "His Majesty forbade her from even coming to the Royal Palace. But I still brought her with me." The truth was that Garrick had become reliant on Emma. He loved having her around him. Whenever he found himself in some complex situation, she was there to help him. "For now, she is going to stay in my Bedroom." Alfred nodded and said nothing else. As they were walking down the hallway, they saw Soraya entering from the other side, the same direction Garrick and Alfred were headed.

Before Garrick or Aflred could react, they found two leather collars around their necks. "Your Majesty, I expect a satisfactory payment for this extra job." It was Robert who did that. "Who are you?"

"How dare you put this collar on my neck?" Garrick glared at Robert, but he just ignored the former Crown Prince. But Alfred, who was calmer, instantly understood that the Emperor had known their plan. Realizing this, he got to his knees and lowered his head. Silence!!!!

Now that Garrick's cultivation is suppressed, he cannot bear Charles's aura and falls from the chair. He was also on his knees. Charles walked up to Garrick and then slapped his face. Garrick held his burning cheek and looked at Charles in a mix of anger and shock. This was the first time that Charles had actually hit Garrick. "I did not expect this from you."

"To think that you would not only harm Eldric's family but also try to kill me so that you can become the Emperor........you truly disappoint me, Garrick."
