Empress Heidi frowned at Shakun suspended in mid-air, unable to hide her shock.
Was Shakun not a tamed beast? Why did it lose control that way?
"Your Majesty!"
The general in charge of the Beast Enclosure hurried to tell her. "Shakun has run into some trouble while cultivating, and it has lost control."
Empress Heidi frowned. She turned to look at the officials. "What do you think we should do about the situation at hand, officials?"
The officials exchanged frantic glances among themselves. None of them knew what to say.
It was rare to see Shakun losing control. Who would know what to do?
"Useless, the lot of you!"
Prince Auten could not help but roar in anger. "What a bunch of useless b*stards, can't you think of anything? What use is there in keeping you around, then?"
Prince Auten's expression was one of pure disdain.
He thought he would take the throne in a hundred days. Despite the duel, he had support, so he thought he would win. Under those circumstances, he hardly cared about anyone at all.
The officials lowered their heads in remorse; none dared to say a word.
Darryl sized Prince Auten up and frowned. Prince Auten did not deserve the throne, not with an attitude like that! No wonder even the usually carefree Lute Belle could not stand by and watch and had to meddle in the Godly Region's business.
Empress Heidi had lost her patience as well. She frowned in displeasure. "Does no one else know what to do?"
"Your Majesty!"
Then, a middle-aged man who stood next to Prince Auten stepped forward. "I have an idea."
The man was clad in purple robes, radiating aura and charm. It was the master Empress Heidi had gotten for Prince Auten, Wiz Immortal.
"Out with it, then!" Empress Heidi's gaze flashed with joy.
Wiz Immortal pointed at Shakun and said, "As far as I know, Shakun took down the fiend race with the Ancient Ancestor all those years ago, and was tamed by the late Emperor. My point is that only a true emperor would be able to help solve its problems.
