Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4578

"What are you doing here, Auten?" Empress Heidi cleared her throat and rearranged her thoughts before speaking. "Why aren't you cultivating at the Jade Fairyland?"

"Father's dead. How could I be in the mood to cultivate?" Prince Auten spoke in a tone laced with grief before turning to comfort Empress Heidi. "Don't be too upset either, Mother."

Empress Heidi flashed a pained smile. "I'm glad you came to see me so quickly."

As she spoke, Empress Heidi cast a glance at Master Magaera next to her before saying, "There's something I need to talk to you about, Auten. It's a pretty big deal."

"What is it?" Prince Auten was startled, caught off guard.

Empress Heidi exhaled softly, her exquisite features hardened into a solemn expression. "Your father is not here anymore, but the Godly Region can't go without a ruler for much longer. Would you like to take his place and become the next emperor?"

What?

Prince Auten startled in shock. "What are you saying, Mother? You want me to be Emperor?"

As Empress Heidi nodded, Prince Auten's gaze flashed as he smiled bitterly. "Father said that Aurin would be next in line to the throne, though. I don't stand a chance."

Prince Auten's expression was gloomy, but his gaze was extremely indignant.

Auten was just as capable as Aurin in terms of skills and intelligence. Yet his father had always favored Aurin from a young age, prioritizing him every time.

When she noticed Prince Auten's reaction, Empress Heidi smiled lightly. She said, "Yes, your father made that declaration, but we will get you what you truly deserve. I'll support you the entire way if it's what you want."

Empress Heidi pointed to Master Magaera next to her as well. "You'll have the Honorable Master assisting you as well."

"That's right!"

Master Magaera nodded solemnly. "I will do my very best to get you onto that throne. But you have to work with me for that to happen."

At the situation, Prince Auten paused briefly before his face split into a wide grin, unable to contain his emotion.

What great news! With Master Magaera's support, his chances of becoming emperor would increase vastly.

Prince Auten nodded hastily. "Thank you, Master Magaera. I won't forget your help once I become the emperor."

Master Magaera nodded, exchanging a glance with Empress Heidi as they smiled at each other.
