Chapter 1752 Shocking Decision

Chapter 1752 Shocking Decision

Not a single person could remain unperturbed.

Not a single person could remain calm.

Not a single one of them could maintain their composure at the revelation that had just unfolded.

Yet the ritual did not lie.

A light identical to that of the other princes and princesses had shone from Rui.

Rui himself had been frozen in shock at the realization of what had just happened.

"Come forth..." The Emperor beckoned him forth with a knowing smile. "Come forth, Prince Rui Quarrier Kandria."

For a moment, nobody moved.

Everybody was shocked.

His acquaintances around him were stunned and speechless.

Master Ceeran, Vericita, Aroanian, Minister Varay, and several others simply stared at him like he was from another world.

The royals stared at him in shock.

The entirety of the throne hall was stunned to its very core.

Yet, none of them were more shocked than Rui himself.

"...What?" He whispered with horror. "This has to be some kind of a mistake."

Time slowed down to a crawl as his Martial fight-or-flight instincts took over. His mind, normally ordered and organized in its thought, had fallen into absolute chaos. Countless thoughts flashed through it as it collapsed into disarray.

He didn't understand.

He didn't understand what was happening.

How could he possibly have royal blood in his veins?

How could he possibly be a descendant of the Kandrian Royal Family?!

Could it be a mistake? New novel chapters are published on

Could the orb be malfunctioning?

No, the probability of that was far too low. This was a matter centered around the Royal Family; there was no room for error.

...Could it truly be that he was a royal?

He didn't know who his father was and had never given it much thought. As far as he was concerned, it didn't matter. It was irrelevant to him.

Gone was the powerful and domineering persona of the Emperor of Harmony. All Rui saw was paternal pride.

He didn't understand.

He didn't understand what he was seeing.

"You are a son of Kandria." The Emperor's declaration was firm.

"You are a son of the Royal Family."

Not even the slightest hint of hesitation rang in his voice.

"You are...a son of mine." His words spread through the Kandrian Throne Hall.

Rui stared at him.

His eyes brimmed with intense emotion.

Uncertainty.

Apprehension.

Fear.

The Emperor met his gaze with clear eyes.

A glint of affection lingered in them.

"Be not afraid."

His tone was warm.

"Fear does not befit a son of mine."

His words were sharp, yet his tone did not barb Rui.

It coaxed him.

"...And son of mine, you are," The Emperor reaffirmed once more.

This time, his tone was more firmer.

Fiercer.

"As Emperor, I declare you, Rui Quarrier Kandria, Son of Rael Di Kandria and Miriam Nephi Silas of the Silas Clan..." The Emperor's voice grew grave. "...as my chosen heir."

Rui's widened his eyes, stunned at the Emperor's solemn declaration.

The entirety of the throne hall shook once more as yet another wave of shock washed over each of them. The Emperor had not only unveiled a new son who had been unknown before but had also declared him his chosen heir immediately after disclosing his identity!

The air grew tumultuous as the weight of the Emperor's declaration struck everybody.
