Chapter 523: A GOD DOES NOT KNEEL

Derik made a mistake he is unaware of but it was already registered at the back of the mind of everyone in the room. Upon entering the grand courtroom the clan patriarch of the Sin family and Damian moved towards the sit assigned to their clan, leaving Derik alone to face the emperor.

Many expected this kid to tremble like any other ten-year-old will but Derik showed no sign of fear. He walked towards the throne with complete confidence in himself and with each step he took, the longer people held their breath in shock. A kid of ten years dared to walk into the royal courtroom, not bothering to address the elders of the empire with respect or even bend a knee for the emperor! Is he so confident in his talent or is it that he was just born cocky?

"Kneel!" the two guards at the foot of the stairs leading to the throne growled but Derik ignored them and kept locking eyes with the emperor.
