Episode 67 - The Knights Destiny 4 'The Imperial Decree 3'

Following the Emperor's order to rise up, everyone rose up in union and faced the Imperial family sitting above, however not directly looking at them. In their hearts, they were sure that something was to slap their faces today, and that's why they were nervous. Everyone had an inkling that the Emperor would bestow a big decree and that was because the Imperial guards led everyone to gather at the throne room and not the audience room.

Another thing that caught them by surprise is that the decree to enter the Imperial palace today stated that they must bring their spouses and children. This was especially weird because women are not allowed to interfere in matters regarding the court, which would normally apply to today as well when a big decree will be passed.

Before anyone could calm their inner turmoil down, the Imperial Eunuch spoke out whilst holding a big roll of decree paper. To this, everyone had their breaths sucked in.

"The Imperial family thanks all subjects for attending today." The Eunuch old in appearance began by thanking everyone for attending, continuing in a very serious voice, "As every subject might know, half a year ago, there was an attempted assassination on the Crown Prince at the Imperial Palace. This matter is not at all light, hence why this matter was delayed until today."

"Today, all victims that were caught up with the incident half a year ago have fully healed, and are here with us."

No longer holding in their breaths, everyone gasped! Everyone present had the same thoughts. 'Who are the victims?', 'Was it those 2 girls from the Veria family?', this was followed up by the Eunuch latter words sinking into their head, 'Half a year to heal?!'.

The Eunuch however ignored everyone's distress and continued on, "Please step forward Lord Ron Graeme, Lord Louis Veria, Lady Eugeneia Veria, Lady Euria Veria, Lord Aernest Veria, Lord Ramon Veria, Miss Aedelak, and Miss Aeselak." Stepping aside as he finished announcing all the names that were stated on the Imperial decree.

Levis' lips tugged upwards as he pushed his stunned children out to indicate that they should follow what the Eunuch ordered. Following his push, Louis who was the most unbothered by all the aristocrat's cold gazes on him walked out; the oldest to the youngest stepped out. Aedelak and Aeselak with great difficulty as each step to them felt as if they were carrying a whole tree on their backs also slowly followed along.

Ron Graeme who had no siblings shifted and stood between Louis and Ramon so that he was not alone. He moved in so smoothly if people didn't know, they would think Ron was a child of the Veria family. To this sight, the Crown Prince who was sitting above them couldn't help but slightly look away and bite the bottom of his lips. He was afraid that he would roll out of his chair and die from laughter.

'The children of the Great Nobles?!?'

'What does this mean?'

'What took 6 months to heal?'

'No wonder they stopped the news! Because the Great Nobles were involved!', Everyone could feel sweat dripping down from their foreheads. An unsettling feeling twisting the pits of their stomach. Who doesn't know? When it comes to the Great Nobles, everything will go their way, not just because they have close relations to the Imperial family, but because when a group of sly people works together, nothing ever goes wrong!

Slightly coughing to get everyone's attention to him, the Eunuch continued, "The children of the Great Nobles along with the two Miss, regardless of their young age managed to save his Highness Crown Prince from great danger from a group that conspired to assassinate his Highness, Crown Prince. The children worked together to overcome this vicious conspiracy and reversed the situation all by themselves. However, this led to numerous injuries and half a year to heal.' Following the Emperor's orders of enforcing sad emotions in his tone of voice, the Eunuch retold the incident with great sadness. The other Eunuch at the other end even pretended to dab his tears to gain sympathy.
