Chapter 1057: Last Chance (Part One)
Akinfeev thought about it and felt like it was true.
Although there were some talented young people in this generation of Zenitians, they were nothing compared to King Alexander of Chambord who was like a monster. Even the citizens of Zenit in other regions admired the King of Chambord, let alone the people in the Chambord Kingdom. It was previously thought that the King of Chambord couldn"t become the emperor of Zenit due to his bloodline, but now that this barrier was removed. Since he was the Third Prince of Zenit, he was the best candidate to inherit the throne.
Besides, from Emperor Ya.s.sin"s tone, Akinfeev heard that the emperor was pleased with the son that he had with the Queen of Radiance, and he loved this son the most. Therefore, there was no question of who was going to be the next emperor.
The only thing was…
"Then, how is Your Majesty going to connect with the King of Chambord and re-establish the father-son relationship? If Your Majesty wants Alexander His Highness to inherit the throne, his ident.i.ty as the Third Prince has to be officially confirmed." Akinfeev voiced the most urgent matter.
"Eh, after the war with Barcelona." While saying this, Emperor Ya.s.sin looked a little anxious just like how an ordinary father would behave in this situation. "I wonder if this kid is willing to return to my side. Would all this be a little too abrupt and sudden for him?"
If it were anyone else, they would be thrilled and overjoyed after discovering that they were the son of Emperor Ya.s.sin who was a supreme ruler of the land. However, it was different for the King of Chambord who was a supreme master. While ignoring all other factors, Chambord"s current strength and reputation weren"t inferior compared to the Royal Family of Zenit. In fact, Chambord was more powerful in these aspects. Also, the King of Chambord was a reckless character, and it was hard to say that he was going to accept Emperor Ya.s.sin as his father for sure.
Akinfeev laughed and said, "Your Majesty, since you are too invested in this, your mind isn"t clear. As long as Golden Lion Lampard who is 100 percent trusted and respected by Alexander His Highness validates the claim, everything can be explained, and the Third Prince will believe you. Besides, even though Your Majesty didn"t reveal his royal ident.i.ty, you have been caring for him. The bond between a family is strong and can"t be wiped away. Also, the Third Prince isn"t someone extreme and stubborn; he will accept you for sure."
"I hope so. The only thing is that those old enemies will discover the truth, and they will focus their attention on Alexander," Emperor Ya.s.sin sighed and took out a scroll from his storage ring. This scroll was perfectly sealed by his demi-G.o.dly power. He handed it to Akinfeev and said, "This is my secret edict, and you must keep it a secret and protect it. If anything happens in the empire, it might be of use."
"Your Majesty, you…" After accepting the edict, Akinfeev suddenly felt something ominous.
In the past, Emperor Ya.s.sin was heroic and dominating, glancing around without fear and standing on top of the peak like a celestial immortal. He had never been so emotional and chitchatted like this before.
It seemed like Emperor Ya.s.sin descended in the mortal world and talked to Akinfeev for a long time, and he sounded a little dispirited.
Akinfeev thought to himself, "Could it be that this demi-G.o.d vaguely sensed something about his fate? Is this why he is having this long conversation with me in his palace?"
After carefully putting away the edict, Akinfeev looked up subconsciously and was shocked to find that Emperor Ya.s.sin looked a little aged and lethargic. He grew even more worried, but he didn"t know what to say.
Then, Emperor Ya.s.sin and Akinfeev talked about many things.

Chapter 1057: Last Chance (Part Two)
They recalled their younger years where the nine of them rode on horses and traveled the region, being reckless and brave. After such a long time pa.s.sed by, both heroes and ordinary people"s lives were filled with regrets and reminiscence. Now, looking back, they wanted to change many things but couldn"t.
Three hours later, a rare tired expression appeared on Emperor Ya.s.sin"s face, and Akinfeev stood up and bowed before leaving.
Seeing this old study buddy of his leaving the palace, Emperor Ya.s.sin heaved a long sigh and closed his eyes as if he was savoring something. After a while, he opened his eyes again, and sharp glints flashed.
His energy was restored, and that dominating and overbearing aura of a genius emperor re-appeared.
"Come out."
As soon as Emperor Ya.s.sin said that, a series of ripples appeared in the air. A black-armored guard who was covered in a black cloak tore open s.p.a.ce and walked out. Then, he single-kneeled and reported his mission in detail.
After hearing everything, Emperor Ya.s.sin waved his hand, and the guard in black bowed and turned into a cloud of black smoke, disappearing from the palace.
"Ah, such an incapable man! As soon as he got control of the western gate, he became this arrogant and dared to do such things. Using the magic crossbows for city defense to threaten an important general. He sure disappoints me! Disappoints me!"
Emperor Ya.s.sin frowned and thought for a long while. In the end, his love for his children won, and he loosened his tightly-gripped fists.
"Alright, I will give you the last chance. If you still can"t grab this opportunity, then don"t blame me for not considering our relationship as father and son. Even when your third older brother inherits the throne, he probably can"t allow a lazy and incapable prince like you to stay around!"
It was midnight outside the palace, and the grand St. Petersburg fell into a long period of darkness.
-Meanwhile, in Chambord that was more than 1,000 kilometers away-
After traveling for about half a month, Fei"s guard, Torres, and a few orc masters finally traveled across the ocean and through the Endless Sea of Forests, getting back to Chambord City using the Ancient Path of Blood of Behemoth.
"What? Barcelona invaded Zenit? They are outside St. Petersburg? Constantine was captured? Luffy His Highness and Reverse Whale Battleship [King Alexander] can"t be found?"
Torres was shocked when he heard about the crucial situation that Zenit was experiencing from Brook. Only about 40 days had pa.s.sed between the king"s departure and Torres" return, but the situation on the continent changed so drastically.
Torres was both angry and shocked.
"Now, the Barcelonans are overbearing, and they sent out several demi-G.o.ds. In Chambord, both Mr. Hazel Bank and Lampard had to travel to St. Petersburg for defense, and Strategist Old Aryang led 1,000 elites of Chambord and traveled to the southern battlefield with [Black Pearl] and [Cyclops]. Although they tried their best to minimize the losses, the high level of casualties wasn"t avoidable." Brook smiled bitterly and sighed, "Although the flames of war haven"t touched Chambord yet, it isn"t far away. Right now, the situation is dire, and no one knows how long St. Petersburg can last. When can His Majesty return?"
"This… it would take a month at the fastest." Torres got anxious as well. Even if he returned to the [Banished Land] to inform the king, one round trip would take at least a month if nothing happened on the way.
"We must inform Alexander His Majesty. Right now, the flames of war are spreading to the Northern Region of Azeroth, and we need him to return and command everyone!" Head Minister Bast was impatient, and he wished that Fei could instantly return to Chambord. The Chambord Kingdom could operate on its own without Fei, but when he was missing at critical moments, people felt like the backbone was missing, and they lacked confidence.
"I will immediately return to the [Banished Land] to inform His Majesty!" Torres didn"t dare to waste a second.
