Chapter 496 494:A Night To Remember

The front of the castle which had been bustling with unusual commotion suddenly became still as a loud voice pierces through the darkness.

"Tell me."

"Whose dogs are you?"

The words echoed through the place and what followed thereafter was the sound of explosion followed by screams.

BOOM!

Like a torrent, waves of flames swept everything in the vicinity.

A defensive barrier appeared over the gates which was made to stop the attacks of an intruder.

The waves crashed on the defence barrier like mighty waves of tsunami one after another.

CRACK!CRACK

The barrier shattered like fragile glass and then the flames hit the huge gates and blasted them away.

Swoosh!

The entire layout started to burn emitting dark fumes.

A warning sound rang out signalling the invasion of an enemy.

Soldiers flooded towards the gate while wondering who was foolish enough to barge in here.

"Who is the one seeking death here?"

Weilis, who was a Mythic rank warrior, appeared and looked at the soldiers rolling on the ground while others trying to extinguish the fire.

"It's me."

Weilis attention was drawn towards the front where he saw a bloodied figure barging forward stepping on the fallen soldiers while dragging someone.

His eyes widened as he recognized the figure.

The person who had been accused of colluding with the enemy by nobles while on the other hand..

He was the person who had been labelled as Hero of the Western Front.

Alex Von Leonhart.

"Sir Alex, what kind of imprudence is this?"He asked with a calm tone trying to figure out the situation.

He may not know the person much but since this man had fought and brought victory to their country, he would not behave like this unless something happened.

"You should ask this dog."

Weilis turned his head and his gaze fell on Solar.

"Sir Weilis, I am innocent ."

"This man barged in here forcefully disregarding the Empire's authority."

"We should kill this bastard here no matter what."

Weilis got a gist of the situation and looked at Alex.

"Sir Alex, don't you know that you need an appointment to seek an audience with the Emperor."

"There are many people who want to seek an audience with the Emperor, you are not the special one.

Weilis scowled at Alex and raised his sword to make a move.

"Who said I am here to meet the Emperor?"

"Huhhh!"Welis' expression stiffened.

Slar stared at Alex with a confused expression.

"I am here to meet my father, Kevin Von Stan."

"How dare you address the Emperor as your father."

"The Emperor doesn't have a son like you."Slar shouted.

Alex's gaze turned sharp.

"Even though I am disowned, that does not mean that I am not his son."

"Or are you saying he is not my real father and I am someone else's son."

Alex heard echoed like thunder causing everyone to shudder.

Because they don't have the power to reply to this.

Few months ago, rumours about Alex being an illegitimate son were spreading in the Capital and The Emperor took the reins himself.

Those who dared to utter this were punished severely and their tongues were cut.

Meanwhile several nobles who had joked about this were found dead along with evidence of various crimes.

No one's who did it but they were sure that the Emperor had a hand in it.

So, no one here was courageous enough to deny Alex words.

On other hand they can not even agree to it as Alex is basically disowned and the Royal family will not have any connection with him.

As everyone felt they had stepped on the trap, they heard a loud laughter.

"Who knows about it?"

Shion walked out with guards around him and sneered at Alex.

"Your Highness Fourth Prince Shion."

Everyone greets him and bowed their heads.

"Did you see,this is the difference between you and me?"

"I am a person above millions whereas you are just a measly discarded piece of trash."

"Is he yours?"Alex asked.

Shion tilted his head and asked.

"Yes he is.So what?"

Everyone felt that the atmosphere was becoming chilly suddenly.

"You're worth nothing?"

"If you did not have the support of your wife, what could you have done?"

"Do you think that I don't know why you are wagging your tail here and trying to stop me from entering?"Alex glared at Shion.

Shion frowned and glared at Alex.

"You are not trying to protect Shen but also yourself."

"Your family was threatened by Christina's growing power so they also helped and got a piece of cake."

"When the war with demons was raging on, you and Shen asked the troops of neighbouring Kingdoms to kill my troops and make it look like an accident."

Alex spoke slowly but his words mortified everyone.

Weilis' eyes widened.

Out of all the Princes, he had never liked Shion.

Shion's face distorted as his heart raced but he was able to maintain a smile after thinking of a way to pinch Alex.

Shion walked closer towards Alex with a sinister expression and a hint of contempt flashed in eyes.

"You only know to bully the weak.If you had the strength why didn't you protect Riya."

"Alas what a poor girl.She might regret choosing an asshole like you.While she might be in an unknown state crying and begging for mercy, you would be playing and enjoying heart content with your other four wives."

"Hahaha!"

"What can I say? This is the result of her poor choice."

"Your Highness that's enough."Weilis tried to mediate between both of them."

"What do you have a problem with?"Shion said with an amusing smile.

The laughter rang in Alex's ears like screeching bugs.

Shion words struck his heart and tore his heart apart.

His head and shoulder dropped low.

Alex did not know from where this man got the confidence to stand before him.

It seems he was sure that Alex wouldn't touch him as he was Prince as attacking a Prince was a death sentence.

Alas, if only he knew that the guy before him had not barraged into Second Prince Mansion but also killed many on his way, he would have never imagined provoking the monster.

However, it was too late to regret cause today he will understand the meaning of poking a sleeping monster tail.
