Chapter 358 The Mysterious Nether World (Part Two) (1/2)

”Austin, you addressed me as Your Highness like other young cultivators, but you don't know who I am. Do you? I think now it's time to tell you. Austin, you might be aware that the current Emperor of the Violet Orchid Empire is Emperor Arthur. The Emperor has ten sons, and I am the youngest one. In the imperial capital city, everyone calls me 'Your Highness' when they see me.”

”Hiss! Huh!”

Austin gasped uncontrollably. He couldn't believe that Reuben was the youngest son of the current Emperor. He was speechless.

It meant that the young man in front of Austin was actually a prince!

No wonder, Austin saw the houses, food, and furnishings all marked with luxury, dignity, and splendor since he stepped into Reuben's palace.

It was really a life of luxury and extravagance.

Austin soon regained his composure and continued listening to Reuben's story.

”Austin, now that you know my father is the Emperor of the Violet Orchid Empire, I wish to share a few things with you. Soon, one among his ten sons will succeed him as the sovereign of the Violet Orchid Empire.

And according to the royal family's rules, who among the princes will take the throne is decided by a battle. Only the one who wins that battle can become the true successor to the throne.

The directives of each battle for the throne are different, and specific directives are determined and laid out by the present emperor.

The directives of this battle were decided a year ago.

My father asked us–all the ten princes–to do everything we could to get to know and win over outstanding people under the age of 25, and make them our confidants.
