Chapter 177 - Informing the Emperor (1/2)

When Zero left the room, Cale appeared to be in deep thought. With the empire's network, they should be able to learn the culprit's identity in a few days. What would be the emperor's reaction after learning that his own son stole their imperial family's treasures?

He recalled his first meeting with the third prince during the banquet held by the crown prince. The third prince looked amicable and kind-hearted on the surface. If not for Asteria stating that he was hiding his real strength, Cale would have believed that he was a good person.

A viper hiding in the dark was scarier than a lion in broad daylight.

”I should inform his majesty about this as soon as possible. As of the moment, the third prince might be strengthening his own army for the upcoming battle.” Cale muttered to himself.

He then stood up went out of his room. On his way out, all the servants and guards were looking at him reverently as they bowed their heads. ”Greetings, Duke Cale.”

Cale nodded his head at them and stepped out of his new manor. He then unfurled his Void Wolf Immortal Wings before he flew straight towards the imperial palace.

The guards and servants who saw him fly gaped in amazement. He was like a phoenix soaring unhindered in the skies.

Cale arrived in front of the imperial palace in less than ten minutes. His flight speed was increased further after unfurling his Void Wolf Immortal Wings.

When the gate guards saw the silhouette of someone flying in midair, they were alarmed and they all put on a defensive stance. But when they got a clearer look as to who the person was, their gazes turned into that of surprise and worship. ”Duke Cale, pardon our actions. We thought that it was someone else.”

Cale smiled at them and waved his right causing his new duke's robe to flutter gently, accentuating his peerless and majestic visage. ”I came here to visit his majesty and also to give him a piece of important news.”

One gate guard patted his c_h_e_s_t and said in a respectful voice. ”Oh, not a problem at all, Duke Cale. Please follow me inside the imperial palace.”

Cale nodded his head at the guard and followed behind with his hands behind his back.

Meanwhile, the emperor who was in his throne room was informed about Cale's arrival. ”Your majesty, Duke Cale has arrived. He said that he has an important news for you.”

The emperor's eyes lit up after hearing the messenger's announcement. 'Duke Cale might know something related to this incident.'

”Go and bring Duke Cale inside the throne room.” The emperor said.

”As you wish, your majesty.” The messenger bowed and left the throne room.

Just a few seconds later, Cale came inside with a calm look on his face. ”Greetings, your majesty.”
