Chapter 4614
'Dammit!' Prince Aurin's face flushed red with anger at being slandered by the mother and
son duo. It seemed like they would stop at nothing to gain complete control of the Godly
Region.
"Helped Darryl, the criminal, escape?" Lute Belle furrowed her brows in confusion when
she heard that. "Didn't Darryl help in the annihilation of the fiend race? How did he
suddenly become a criminal? From what I know, the Innate Spirit Stone prophesized that
only Darryl had the ability to annihilate the fiend race completely and he, in fact, proved
that. Also, he was locked up in the Infernal Shadow Prison because of the Godly Region
and Empress Nuwa sacrificed herself in order to save him.
"After that, Darryl helped the Godly Region successfully defeat the fiend race. It could be
said that the peace that you all have now is only possible because of him, so how could
you throw him into the Sky Prison?"
Her reasoning was logical and left no room for debate.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, Prince Auten, Empress Heidi, and the officials became embarrassed and none of
them knew how to answer her. As for Prince Aurin, who was standing by the door, he was
excited and exhaled deeply in his heart while thinking that someone was finally making
sense here.
Finally Empress Heidi was the first to respond.
"Hahaha! You don't have the complete story. It's true Darryl earned his merit, but he also
committed a heinous crime. He hid his identity when he was annihilating the fiend race. It
was because of that that the late Emperor missed an opportunity and finally perished with
Archfiend Antigonus. In other words, if it wasn't for Darryl, the late Emperor wouldn't have
died at all. Locking him up in the Sky Prison is already mercy,” she explained to Lute Belle.
Prince Auten quickly nodded his head in agreement. "Yes, his crime is bigger than his
contribution. Locking him up in the Sky Prison is compassionate on our part but Aurin let
him go without us knowing. He completely forgot about who was the cause of the late
Emperor's death. Don't you think that he should be punished?" 2
Lute Belle smiled bitterly and shook her head at their explanation. "Don't the two of you
think that your reasoning is too far-fetched? Life is unpredictable. Darryl hid his identity for
his own safety. You can hardly call that malicious intent. And chalking up the late
Emperor's death to Darryl? Now that's forcing it."
Her reply caught Prince Auten off guard. His expression was one of embarrassment.
"Going by what you said, I'm in the wrong here?" he asked somewhat unhappily.
Empress Heidi was unhappy as well. "Lady Lute Belle, this is the affairs of the Godly
Region. Don't you think you're overstepping a little?"
She did not want to offend Lute Belle but she could not hold it back anymore. Not when
the other party was threatening her interests.
Prince Aurin, who was standing by the door, had his gaze locked on Lute Belle. He was
feeling grateful towards her and a little confused as well. 'I don't know her and yet she
keeps speaking out for me. Could it be that she was sent by Darryl?'
Lute Belle did not seem to panic when faced with Empress Heidi's hostility. She smiled and
said, "Please do not misunderstand. I didn't mean to chastise you and I have no intention

to meddle in the affairs of the Godly Region but Empress Nuwa requested something else
from me when she sent the SOS letter."
Then, she slowly stood up and surveyed everyone present." In the SOS letter, Empress
Nuwa predicted that she and the late Nine Heaven Emperor would run into some
problems. So, she requested that I help Prince Aurin ascend the throne in the event that
she and the late Nine Heaven Emperor are no more."
She then looked at Prince Aurin with gentleness in her exquisite face.
'There's such a thing?' Suddenly the entire Imperial Sky Palace erupted in an uproar. Both
Prince Auten and Empress Heidi were secretly trembling. It never crossed their minds that
Empress Nuwa would have plotted for Prince Aurin to ascend the throne beforehand.
Prince Aurin was unbelievably excited - all of his previous gloominess gone. 'Hurray! Let's
see if this mother and son duo will dare to go against Auntie Nuwa's last will."
Finally, Empress Heidi responded. Her exquisite face was full of disbelief when she
questioned Lute Belle, "Why you... We can only take you at your word. For all we know,
you might be lying!"
