Chapter 4615
Empress Heidi was enraged. Through no small feat and with the help of Master Magaera's
divine power, she was able to help her son ascend the throne. There was no way she
would allow Lute Belle to spout nonsense.
At the same time, Prince Auten was staring daggers at Lute Belle.
"I do wonder whether the real purpose of your visit was to see an old friend or to stir up
trouble," he said coldly.
Lute Belle exhaled softly, calmly took out the SOS letter, and passed it to Prince Auten.
"This is the SOS letter Empress Nuwa sent to me. Everything is written clearly inside. Read
it for yourself."
Prince Auten was stunned when he took the SOS letter, which was made from five-colored
cloud brocade and the pretty handwriting on top was definitely Empress Nuwa's. His heart
skipped a beat and he became completely stunned when he read the contents. It was as
Lute Belle said - Empress Nuwa wanted Prince Aurin to become the next emperor.
'How can this be?' Suddenly, his brain buzzed and it took him a long time to snap out of it.
It was known that Empress Nuwa was a senior to the late Nine Heaven Emperor and her
exceptional status was a given. There were a lot of matters that the late Nine Heaven

Empress Nuwa's decision was equivalent to the late Nine Heaven Emperor's decision.
At that moment, Empress Heidi grabbed the SOS letter from Prince Auten to read it and
she, too, jerked her body and became stunned. What Lute Belle said was true; Empress
Nuwa really wanted Prince Aurin to ascend the throne. i
Seeing the mother and son duo's reaction, Lute Belle silently took back the SOS letter and
passed it to the officials. "You can all tell for yourself whether I'm lying after reading this
SOS letter."
The officials quickly gathered together to read the SOS letter and they, too, became
stunned after reading it. Immediately, the entire Imperial Sky Palace was so silent that one
could even hear a pin drop.
After a few seconds, Lute Belle took back the SOS letter and looked at the mother and son
duo.
"Empress, Your Majesty. What do you have to say for yourselves?" she asked calmly.
At that moment, Empress Heidi slowly snapped back. She smiled disapprovingly and said,
"Even if what you said is true, the situation now is not the same as before. Besides, Auten
was elected by the officials. It's not as if I helped him forcefully seize the throne. In other
words, it is heaven's will."
Lute Belle could not help but laugh when she heard that." Heaven's will, eh?"
Then she circled her gaze to the officials. "The late Nine Heaven Emperor treated all of you
well and yet you defied his last will when he was gone. Do you think you have fulfilled
your duties as officials by helping Prince Auten to the throne?"
At that moment, all the officials' heads dropped down with guilt. At the same time, they
were feeling helpless. The reason they pushed Prince Auten to the throne was because of
his terrifying strength, which caused them to seethe with anger inwardly while remaining
silent outwardly.
Seeing their reaction, Lute Belle understood something. She exhaled gently and said,
"Fine. Things have already come to this. This is, after all, the affairs of the Godly Region
which an outsider like me can't speak too much about."
Then her tone turned sharp. "However, as a good friend of Empress Nuwa, I must help her
finish her last will. It is against the rules for the new emperor to ascend the throne when
it's not even been a hundred days since the late Nine Heaven Emperor has perished. So, I
have a suggestion, why don't we let both Prince Auten and Prince Aurin have a
competition. We'll assess them after a hundred days and whoever is the strongest will be

the new emperor. This way, you can do right by the late Emperor's final order and I by
Empress Nuwa's. What do you all say?"
Another uproar exploded like a pressure cooker as soon as she finished speaking.
Prince Auten was not having it. "Why should I compete with him when I'm already the new
emperor?" he shouted loudly. i
Empress Heidi was also flushed red. "Are you sure you want to stick your nose into where
it doesn't belong?" she asked
Lute Belle coldly.
Lute Belle smiled slightly and said seriously, "Oh, please don't misunderstand me. I'm only
fulfilling my friend's final wishes. It was clearly written on the SOS letter, so how can you
say that I'm sticking my nose into where it doesn't belong."
"And what if I refuse?" asked Empress Heidi coldly.
Lute Belle stopped smiling and said slowly for emphasis," Well, don't blame me for
offending you by doing whatever is necessary if you decide to have things your way. I will
help Prince Aurin ascend the throne no matter the price. The consequence of that might
not be something you can afford.
Her voice was gentle but intimidating at the same time.
