Chapter 144: Ohh , what a shame! (1/2)

( The royal palace , inner district, PurpleHaze city , Hazelgroove kingdom )

Price Aman played with the red jewel in his hands as he looked at the seven people standing before him , the lacking strength of the group made him scoff , as it would not even take him a flick of his wrists to kill these ants. Even a basic deathknight in his arsenal could 1V7 these adventurers.

However he had to admit that they did him a huge meritorious service by bringing him this gem , and hence they deserved to be rewarded.

Aman was planning on dethroning the current emperor his father and seizing power for himself. However it was not easy to seize power from his old but strong warmage father who was at tier 4.

Aman knew he had to scheme to take the throne , and the red jewel was a vital part in his schemes. The red jewel was actually a very rare type of illusion stone. If powered using a formation , it could give birth to a very intricate and deathly illusion.

Aman was confident of killing the Emperor inside the illusion using his necromancy. The chief of Royal guards was aldready on his side , hence there would be no problem in taking over the millitary after the forcefull rise to the throne.

What Aman was afraid of However was Patricia Won Knight , would the Won Knight's swear their loyalty? Or will they rebel? Was a question he was worried about.

However that equation changed when he met the adventurer Shakuni Won Knight , inside the royal library. The nonchalant reaction the player had to him being a necromancer was intriguing to Aman .

He needed such subordinates , smart but indifferent to his actions. He needed to somehow rope Shakuni in after he ascends the throne to consolidate his power.

Aman was conflicted in how to reward the seven people here however and he finally decided that they should be rewarded only in the future after he took the throne.

He decided to test the adventurers here , should they support him in his rise to power , they will be rewarded , if they choose to turn their backs on him, knowing his necromancer identity and his thirst for the throne , he would kill them right here right now and oust their guilds from the kingdom.

Aman said ” Well done , well done , you have done a great meritorious deed for the kingdom by delivering this soo very important gem to me ”.

Ilovesmashing took a knee as he tried to butter up the king , he said ” it is our pleasure to serve the glorious and righteous crown prince of Hazelgroove”.

Aman's eyelids twitched , he was a necromancer dammit , glorious and righteous would be the two worst words to describe him.

However he continued ” I plan on assasinating the king and taking over the throne through blood , i see you are a group of intelligent people , should you choose to support the uprising , you shall be appropriately rewarded in the future , soo what shall your choice be ”.

Rewards : Unknown

PinkLotus instantly felt like this quest was a red flag , however looking at the exited expressions of her colleagues , she knew the outcome. Yet before anyone could express their thoughts she asked ” What if we refuse ? ”.

The six of them showed her dirty glares , as naturally this was not the majority opinion , yet Aman laughed at her question.

He said ” Its that or death , and knowing that you adventurers have been blessed by immortality by the goddess , it is probably infinite deaths, and also there will be no place for you and your guilds inside Hazelgroove kingdom anymore as the Royal guards would chase you out ”.

Everyone had a chill down their spines hearing his reply , it was not an option if he put it that way now was it?

Gulping , Scorpio said ” Ofcourse its our pleasure to serve his majesty the emperor ”.

Scorpio deliberately called Aman the emperor to appease his anger , and naturally it worked as Aman smiled. He liked the sound of being called Emperor.

At this time a servant entered the room and passed a message to Aman that emmisaries from the Nineclouds kingdom were here and that the King requested his presence in the court.

Aman groaned , he had no intention of attending the court , yet he could not ignore his stupid fathers summons for now , as he needed to play the part of the ideal son.

He dismissed the alliance leaders as he went to the court.
