The assassination of the emperor (2)

Chapter 617

(Unedited)

…

A shock expression can be clearly seen on the emperor's face after listening to those words from that soldier. His close eyes suddenly went wide open and glared at that soldier.

The emperor could accept his death if it is because of his son. At least that way, he died because of his own blood. However, what that person said about the Golden Dragon Empire's glory means one thing and that is, his foolish son is being tricked by the enemy and has fallen in their hands.

How could his empire stand if they fall into the enemy's hands? The many kingdoms, cities, towns, villages, and people in the empire would surely suffer because of this.

Hence the emperor suddenly became unwilling to face death.

However, it seems that everything is too late. Even with the appearance of his 1st born son, he knew that the empire would soon fall. And this is making him unable to accept this fate.
