Chapter 847

Chapter 847

Most of the players knew who Ardo Empires Emperor Consteinus was. He was the one who ruled the strongest empire in the continent, before the appearance of the Luvien Empire.

There were mixed reactions among the people when they saw the empire led by such a man charge forward and try to bring the Beyond the Heavens Empire to collapse. Some felt that it was a pity while some, who were driven by their inferiority complex, were very delighted.

However, what was happening right in front of everyones eyes was something that defied all expectations. Emperor Consteinus was prostrating to the Beyond the Heavens Empire. To be exact, it was not the Beyond the Heavens Empire that he was bowing to, but Lord Amacar.

An emperor was a figure who never bowed down to others. Perhaps they might if they were in front of a God, or an enemy that had destroyed their empire and pointed a sword to their necks. However, if one looked through the history of Athenae, one would never find an instance when an emperor bowed to their subject.

Emperor Consteinus, who bowed deeply and lowly, shed tears. With a trembling voice, he said, I have always received help from you. Each and every time.

Amacar had betrayed the Ardo Empire to become a part of the Beyond the Heavens Empire.

But why is he saying that he received help?

Minhyuk turned to look at the man standing beside him. Amacars fists were clenched tightly. He was crying silently as he looked at the humble back of the man who he once served.

Now that they had lost Amacar, the Ardo Empires growth rate would infinitely weaken. Instead of thinking of growing, the Ardo Empire would now have to think of protecting themselves. If that was the case, why was Emperor Consteinus grateful to Amacar?

Thanks to you, I was able to see it.

Emperor Consteinus was left reeling in shock when he returned to his empire, Amacars words kept ringing in his mind.

None of your people hoped to have an empire that was only filled with the strong. Please open your eyes. Look at the world around you. See how your people look at you now and compare it with how they looked at you in the past. What is the difference?!

While pondering over that question in order to seek the answer, Consteinus began to look at his people carefully. When he looked at their eyes, the first thing that he saw was fear. Then, it was immediately followed by surrender.

Emperor Consteinus had become the emperor after the death of the previous Imperial Majesty. It had been three years since he started to rule his empire. Back then, when the people looked at him, they would smile happily at him and look at him with respect and trust.

Perhaps it was truly like what Amacar said. Nobody wanted an empire filled with only the strong. Consteinus just wanted an unshakeable empire so that everyone would live without experiencing much pain and sorrow. However, the only ones who wanted a strong empire to defeat the Luvien Empire were Consteinus and the nobles.

My eyes and ears that had been closed through the years had now been finally opened. I can finally see again what kind of empire I hoped for, and what kind of emperor I aspire to be.

The emperor, who had his head pressed to the ground, raised his head and looked up at Amacar, whose words had awakened and enlightened him.

Amacar murmured softly, so soft that Consteinus could not hear his words, Your Majesty, please do not change. I hope that your heart will never change.

Only then did Minhyuk realize what happened. It was true, Amacar had a favorable impression of him and the Beyond the Heavens Empire. However, the real reason why he left Ardo Empire for the Beyond the Heavens Empire was because he knew Consteinus more than anybody else. After all, he had shared a deep bond with the Ardo Empires emperor for a very long time now.

Consteinus must have been feeling very urgent because of the Luvien Empire.

The once steadfast and sturdy empire had been shaken to its core. Along the way, Consteinus had forgotten the kind of empire he truly wanted. However, even though he had forgotten the essence and nature of the empire that he wanted, Amacar was still there. And Amacar knew him more than anybody else. He knew Consteinus' true character and nature. And that was the reason why he left. His departure served as both punishment for Consteinus actions and a lesson.

A commotion rang out amidst the eight million troops standing behind Consteinus. All of them knew that Amacar had betrayed them. In fact, all of them thought Emperor Consteinus would destroy the Beyond the Heavens Empire. They had also been angry at first. After all, they believed that Commander Amacar would remain by their side for the rest of their lives. However, he left them.

Why?

Did the Beyond the Heavens Empire promise you a lot of money?

Or did they promise you something else?

There was undeniable anger from every single one of them. After all, the more one looked at another with good feelings, the greater the sense of betrayal if that person left them. However, the soldiers soon realized the reason why. They all knew that Amacar cared for the Ardo Empire deeply. He was someone who lived solely for the sake of the empire.

Among them, the ones who were most shocked were the members of the Hound Knight Order. The Hound Knight Orders Deputy Commander bowed deeply beside Consteinus. Then, the members of the knight order began to bow to Amacar one after another.

[What a spectacular sight.]

Emperor Consteinus body trembled fiercely as he continued to cry. None of his men could come close to him. They did not even think about lifting him up from the ground. The soldiers of the Ardo Empire knew how much Consteinus cherished and loved Amacar. No one among them could console their crying emperor. Only one person could do that.

Creaaaaaaaaaaaaak

The sobbing Consteinus heard the gates in front of him creak open. He slowly looked up at the direction of the sound.

Minhyuk, who watched everything from above, triggered the Battle Gods Voice. In the sky above them, the image of a young emperor smiling kindly as the scruffy child looked up at him with a bright and wide smile on his face appeared.

[When they first met, the boy made up his mind.]

[I will live for his sake.]

Swoosh

The image disappeared, revealing another image. The image showed Amacar winning the swordsmanship competition. The boy had now turned into a young man. This young man bowed to the man sitting on the throne as he pledged his loyalty.

[The emperor looked at him and thought that his relationship with this young man would prove to be meaningful.]

Swoosh

The image scattered once again.

Consteinus looked toward the gates. There he saw someone in a hurry, gasping for breath as he ran toward Consteinus.

At the same time, a new image appeared in the sky. It was the image of the emperor running toward the young man who was besieged by monsters and was in danger of dying.

[The emperor ran with all his might to save him.]

The man who was approaching Consteinus was none other than Amacar. He looked just like the emperor who was portrayed in the sky above them. He ran with all his might for the sake of the emperor who he loved and cherished. Right now, he looked more afraid to see his emperor wallow in sorrow and despair than dying on his own.

Then, another image appeared in the sky above the running Amacar. It showed the image of the young man, who survived the ordeal, and the emperor who saved him. There were knights and soldiers sat around them, eating soup and bread while chatting happily.

[The young knight, who had just escaped from death, sat beside his emperor and looked at him as he told a joke while eating soup with them. At that time, the young knight made another vow to himself.]

[I will revive this empire to protect him.]

Consteinus stood up when Amacar appeared in front of him. Amacar knelt down and shouted, Your Majesty!!!

Amacar breathed roughly, gasping as he said, Please do not worry about those things.

...

Whenever Your Majesty wants to drink tea, whenever Your Majesty needs someone to chat with and whenever Your Majesty is sad, I will always be here to greet you with a smile.

Consteinus laughed, tears dripping down his cheeks as he knelt by Amacars side. Amacar finally barked a laugh through his tears. He said, Whenever I want to have tea with Your Majesty, whenever theres something sad going on, whenever I want to have a chat with Your Majesty

Amacar hid his feet underneath his legs as he continued to kneel on the ground.

Please allow me to go and see you, Your Majesty.

With those words, another image appeared in the sky. The image was so huge that it almost engulfed the entire Beyond the Heavens Empire. The image showed the figure of an emperor looking at the millions of people in front of him while a young man stood guarding by his side.

[The meeting between the scruffy young boy and the young emperor became the legend of an era.]

Consteinus, with a bright and wide smile on his face, replied, I give you my permission.
