The civil and military officials watched silently as the Empress and Quincy were briskly taken away from the hall.
The next second, a civil official stepped forward and knelt before Jethro under everyone's gaze. "Pleasure to greet you, Your Majesty!"
"Pleasure to greet you, Your Majesty!"
Instantly, the people in the entire hall knelt respectfully.
The imperial court could not be without a monarch. Naturally, Jethro would ascend to the throne and proclaim himself as the new Emperor after he removed the Empress.

Jethro nodded with satisfaction at the sight of his servile subjects. He walked up to the Dragon Throne and sat on it. Then, he looked around the hall and said, "You may stand. Heed my order! Summon the army and head to the border!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
All civil and military officials responded in unison.

A reeling figure was fleeing desperately—it was White Horse.
White Horse was exhausted but dared not stop because Neil and Zhang Jue were hot on his trail.

Oops!
White Horse had one look at his surroundings and fell into great despair.
There was only a high and steep cliff in front of him, and it was a dead end.
'Oh, no! I need to find another way out quickly!'
White Horse thought to turn around to look for an alternative route.
Rustle…
