Chapter 914: The Child that lived
The forgotten prince... It was the title given to a newborn child by the Archangels. It was a child that was born to die, yet survived. It was a child who wasn't supposed to live. The Archangels were beings that could destroy worlds with a wave of their hand. They were the beings that had long surpassed the realm of gods. They were primordial beings, whose origins were unknown. Yet, there was someone that the Archangels had failed to kill. And that person was the forgotten prince. The Empress didn't know why the Archangels called that child the Forgotten Prince. She didn't even know why they wanted to kill him so badly. All she knew was that they were obsessed with the death of the child. To kill him, the Archangels had destroyed multiple higher worlds, only to discover that the child was brought to the world known as the Celestial World, ruled by the Celestial Dynasty. Even though the Archangels were supreme beings, they still sent an envoy to ask for the child to be returned. However, the foolish Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty refused to hand over the child. The arrogant Emperor thought that he could survive, just because the Archangels couldn't personally descend to this world. His arrogance soon became his downfall as the invasion of the world began. The Archangels didn't come down. They didn't need to in the first place. They simply sent a species that was their slave... A species whose world the Archangels had destroyed. "Is it because we destroyed your world that you have intentionally been making mistakes to become an obstruction for us?' the statue asked. Even though it was just the voice of an Archangel who hadn't descended, the Empress still felt a chill. Her legs turned weak as she dropped to her knees. "We would never dare!" she screamed in fear, worried that they might be misunderstood. "Becoming your slave has been our biggest blessing! You destroyed our world and killed those who opposed it, but you also blessed those who surrendered!"
"We have always been loyal to you! We can never dare to betray our lord!" the Empress stated. She truly didn't care about the destruction of their world. In fact, she didn't even remember something that happened thousands of years ago. She wasn't born at that time. She had only heard about stories of that time, and in all those stories, the Archangels were glorified!
Even her ancestors knew that the Archangels were beings that they could never afford to offend again. They weren't even worth being called insects before those great beings. That's why they had been trying their hardest to please the Archangels. Unfortunately, until now, they hadn't been able to do that.
The statue closed its eyes and the room returned to silence once again. The conversation had ended. The Elzeiran Empress blankly stared at the statue. Had they really lost the favor? Did she become the biggest sinner in the history of her clan?
She didn't know who was going to be sent here. But she did know that it was going to take time!
"I will capture him before someone arrives!"
She knew she had only one way to regain the favor. Before someone was sent here to take the lead, she had to catch the Forgotten Prince!
"I will bring him to your feet!" she stated as she bowed before the statue. "Even if I have to sacrifice everyone!"
