“Princess Long.”
Darryl shook his head and smiled bitterly. “Even if I use all my might, it would be too difficult to reclaim the throne.
A month is pretty tight, do you think you could—”
Quincy immediately interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.
“Don’t try to buy yourself more time—one month. If you can’t do it, then you are not worthy of being my husband,”
Quincy said coldly.
Darryl sighed helplessly. Quincy was not an easy woman to handle. After he pondered a few more moments, he
was about to agree to her condition.
“Your Majesty!”
A eunuch walked forward quickly and spoke politely to the Empress. “A Westrington envoy is requesting to meet
with you. He is currently waiting outside the main hall.”
Hmm?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEveryone in the hall—the Empress, Darryl, or the other guests—were stunned.
It was such a coincidence! They had discussed if Darryl could reclaim his throne as the Westrington Emperor when
the continent’s envoy arrived.
The Empress snapped back to her senses. She lifted her hands and said, “Send him in.”
“Yes,” the eunuch responded before he stepped out quickly.
A few seconds later, the eunuch led the Westrington envoy into the hall.
Benjamin Joyce?
Darryl was suddenly stunned when he saw the newcomer.
Darryl recognized him—he was Benjamin Joyce, the Minister of Rites. He had seen the man twice when he was the
Westrington Emperor.
Swoosh!
Everyone’s eyes were on Benjamin. They wondered about the purpose of his visit.
However, a shocking turn of events had happened.
Thud!
Benjamin walked toward Darryl and immediately knelt in front of him. He sounded sincere and urgent as he said,
“Your Majesty, Westrington is currently in chaos. I beg Your Majesty to return to Westrington at once to soothe the
hearts of the people.”
What?
The entire main hall erupted in another uproar; everyone was baffled.
Did the Westrington envoy just address Darryl as His Majesty?
Quincy trembled as she looked at Darryl in scrutiny. Her exquisite face was full of shock.
Impossible! Darryl had lost the throne; how was he still the Westrington Emperor?
However, the Westrington envoy had addressed Darryl as His Majesty. She did not mishear that.
Darryl was also baffled. He looked at Benjamin suspiciously, but he was speechless.
What had happened?
Then, Darryl snapped back to his senses; he looked at Benjamin. “Benjamin, please get up and explain yourself.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDarryl’s eyes were full of questions when he said that.
Brad Ford had taken the lead and reinstated Donoghue as the Emperor when they were on Mount Emei. So why
was Westrington without an emperor again?
Where was Donoghue?
“Your Majesty!”
Benjamin wiped the sweat off his forehead as he recounted the story.
Ambrose had severely injured Donoghue while they were on Mount Emei, and he had hidden somewhere to
recuperate. He did not return to Westrington.
At that time, only the Westrington Army had returned to the continent. Donoghue seemed to have gone missing as
he had not reappeared after that.
Westrington was suddenly in a state of anarchy.
When he finished with his story, Benjamin looked at Darryl with respect and hope. “Your Majesty, all the officials are
currently waiting for your return to control the situation. Westrington cannot survive without you, Your Majesty. So,
please, come back to Westrington with me.”
Yang Jian had led his army to invade the other mainlands. Everyone in Westrington was as worried as the people on
the other continents.
