IMPERIAL THRONE

When Amelia was about to question me, everyone's attention turned toward the entry door due to the sudden announcement of the guards.

" Pay respect to the Imperial family " announced the two guards in a booming voice and everyone started bowing their heads except the members from the four great clans.

As the Four Great Clans got immunity from the Imperial family during its foundation and were exempted from bowing to them.

When I looked the door, I saw a middle-aged man who gave me the same pressure as my father and had golden hair looking at everyone with his green eyes.

There was a middle-aged woman beside him who had red hair and purple eyes which are characteristic of the Red Dragon Clan and is also my aunt as she is the step-sister of my father.

And finally, I saw Elizabeth who was in between them and had a bright smile on her face looking at everyone with a curious gaze.

She had the same golden hair and green eyes as the Imperial family but has an innocent look which is hard to find in the Imperial Family.

When Elizabeth saw Amelia and me, she wanted to come to our side but Aunt stopped her and said something in her ear which made her stop.

Finally, when they reached the central stage, the Emperor turned towards everyone and said

" Thanks for attending my daughter's birthday and today I will officially announce that after eight years from now on, the succession war to the crown prince/ princess position will officially start "

As soon as the nobles heard it, the entire place became pin drop silent and everyone had surprised expressions except the patriarch's of the four great clans.

The Current Emperor Austin Golden Dragon had four wives who belonged to the Four Great Clans of the Empire.

And had five sons and three daughters with them but not everyone is eligible for the throne.

As only people who have S Rank talent or above are eligible for the throne and only two offspring of the Emperor became eligible for the current fight.

Currently, Elizabeth, the daughter of my aunt got SS Rank talent in Magic; Nathan, the son of the woman who is from the White Dragon Clan had S Rank in martial arts and Edward who is from a branch clan but was made the adopted son of the emperor after he got SS Rank talent in martial arts.

They are eligible to gather their forces for the fight but they should be below S Rank and except for the younger generation, no one from the Four Great Clans should participate in their fight.

After the announcement, the Emperor went to meet with other nobles and Elizabeth came along with my aunt towards me.

When they reached us, Aunt smiled at me and said

" How are you doing Arthur " in a caring tone.

" I am fine aunt," I said in a slightly awkward tone and suddenly Elizabeth hugged me

" I missed you brother, Arthur " said Elizabeth as Arthur, Elizabeth, and Amelia were childhood friends with each other.

" I missed you too," I said and stroked gently on her head but when Amelia saw it, she pouted in anger and turned her face to the other side.

" You young ones talk with each other " said the aunt and went to talk with other noble ladies who were waiting for her.

After my aunt went away, I made an appraisal of Elizabeth and Amelia.

While I was looking at their status, I saw Leon moving toward Amelia as if he wanted to say something.

But suddenly Leon felt someone's hand on his shoulder and when he saw it was me, his whole body shuddered remembering the morning incident but soon he came out of it and said

" What happened Arthur " in a gentlemanly manner.

" Just stop what you are going to do now because you will regret it in the future " I said in a kind tone but the pressure coming from my body almost made Leon kneel on his body.

Leon, who was feeling the brunt of the pressure, left the place as he didn't want to face another humiliation in front of others and thought of paying back after he becomes stronger in the future.

Anna, who was the only one observing our conversation as others were busy eating the food served, had an expression as if she was thinking something very deeply.

Meanwhile, the Patriarch's were having a serious meeting on how to find the person who awakened the Holy Grade bloodline of a dragon and especially the Emperor showed extreme enthusiasm in the meeting.

Suddenly the White Dragon Patriarch said

" I heard your son awakened SS Rank talent in both paths William "

" Yes," said William in a calm tone but the atmosphere in the room became hot as if they were in front of the volcano.

While the other three shook their heads and knew something bad was going to happen and their prediction was correct.

" Be careful as the more genius a person is, the soon he falls if he is not careful " said White Dragon Patriarch in a sarcastic manner.

" There is no need for you to worry about my son," said William in a cold tone and released all his aura which was stronger than everyone present in the meeting.

When everyone faced the pressure released by William, they only had one thought in their minds.

" This guy became even more stronger "

And the face of the White Dragon patriarch who was facing the brunt of the pressure was ugly and when he was about to retaliate

The Emperor who saw the atmosphere of the meeting, coughed lightly and said

" Does Arthur have anyone as his fiancee " turning to his friend to change the atmosphere in the meeting.

" Yes, " replied William as no one knew about it since it was still not officially announced to everyone.

Even though everyone in the meeting had some guesses in their mind but they wanted to make sure.

" Who is that girl? " asked the Silver Dragon Patriarch in a curious tone.

" Yes tell us, " asked the Emperor as he had the thought of making an engagement between Arthur and one of his daughters.

When William saw the curious eyes of all the people, he sighed and was about to say since it was going to be revealed anyway.

But suddenly all five of them stood up from their seats at the same time and looked outside at the person who was entering the Imperial city in shock.
