Chapter 682: Rebellious Hearts (1/2)
Nethergrass city
Sometime after the Desolate Crow Clan's group left the city, the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince's bellows could be heard resounding outside the Nethergrass Palace.
”What did you just say?! Say that again!” the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince thundered furiously at the group of servants.
The servants trembled with trepidation as the leading servant repeated fearfully, ”T-The troublemakers are nowhere to be seen, but the prison guards were all killed, and the sentries at the eastern gate were all knocked out, Y-Your Highness!”
”What about the hostages?!”
The Desolate Netherbird Second Prince glared at the leading servant intensely as if the servant would be immediately beheaded if he gave the wrong answer, causing the servant to tremble even more fearfully.
”T-T-The hostages are all gone, Your Highness! The troublemakers have most likely already e-escaped…! And if this servant was to make a bold assumption, they were also most likely to be people from the Desolate Crow Clan!” the servant answered truthfully.
Bam!
The Desolate Netherbird Second Prince immediately stomped the ground furiously, causing it to shatter under his strength.
”How dare that! What the hell is Balzacs doing over there?! And what the hell were the sentries doing over here?! How can they let some rats into my city without reporting the news to me?!” the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince barked.
Just when the servant thought he was safe, the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince snorted, ”Hmph! Men, take him out and behead him!”
”Y-Yes, Your Highness!”
Transcendent-level guards on the side immediately came over and grabbed the servant before the servant pleaded with a startling cry, ”Have mercy, Your Highness! What has this servant done wrong?!”
”Hmph, I didn't like what I hear,” the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince stated irresponsibly and overbearingly.
”That's outrageous, Your Highness! This servant was only reporting the truth of the report! Your Highness, mercy! Have mercy, Your Highness—!”
The servant was eventually dragged out until his cries were no longer heard.
Every time the servants and subordinates of the second prince witnessed such scenes, their loyal hearts would receive a blow each time.
Even if they wanted to stay devoted to the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince, was such a person deserving of their loyalty?
Definitely not.
Sooner or later, they would also get beheaded for a ridiculous reason, simply because the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince did not like what he heard.
Havoc was silent for a moment before he said, ”The Desolate Crow Clan must not have gotten far if they are escorting the hostages. This subordinate should be able to catch up if this subordinate departs now, Your Highness.”
”Then go, bring back their heads to me! I want to see the faces of the courageous fools who dare to light my city on fire and take people from right under my nose!” the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince commanded.
”Yes, Your Highness!” Lord Havoc complied.
Nevertheless, he silently lamented in his heart.
