Athena lowered her eyes, knowing that even if she could temporarily save Arthur’s life, she couldn’t make him live.

Arthur also knew that this poison would gradually corrode his internal organs, eventually turning him into a pool of blood, causing extreme pain.

Therefore, he stopped Athena.

bena looked at the scene before her, feeling no joy, only a heavy sense of sorrow.

rebellion ultimately made too many people pay the price.

snd Nander, where is he?‘ Arthur thought.

The Queen and Fermin were dragged away and locked in the dungeon.·

Arthur, supported by Thanatus, walked out of the secret passage.

In the Imperial Palace, bodies littered the ground, and blood was everywhere.

Arthur sighed and, with trembling hands, took out the imperial decree from his sleeve and handed it to Athena, “A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. I entrust the edict of abdication to you. After the rebellion is quelled, Evander will inherit the throne.”

He had to pause for a few breaths after each sentence.

The severe pain from his lungs made Arthur miserable.

He pressed his chest hard, only then feeling a little less pain.

Athena held the edict of abdication, feeling it extraordinarily heavy.

She cupped her fist at Arthur and respectfully said, “Yes, Your Majesty!”

Arthur looked at her, his eyes filled with guilt.

The person he was always wary of saved him from danger.

Among these princes, none of them had Xander’s talent.

He was born to be a king.

It was a pity that he had no chance to be the King.

Arthur’s eyes swept over everyone present with a look of relief. “It is my blessing and the blessing of Petanion that we can have you!”

His voice was firm and powerful. “From today onwards, Athena is named Serene Princess, and Michael will restore the Marquis status and inherit the title for three generations.”

Speaking of this, Arthur murmured, “If Xander was here, that would be great. With him here, Petanion would not be in

chaos…”

Everyone lowered their heads, and Athena’s suppressed emotions were also broken by Arthur’s words.

She kept waiting, just waiting for a miracle to happen.

But until now, there was no sign of Xander.

Did he really break his promise?‘ she thought.

Your Majesty, bad news! The Northcold army has arrived outside the city gate, clamoring to break into the Imperial City and massacre the people within.” A black–armored soldier ran to Arthur and urgently reported the battle situation outside.

Arthur swayed, trying to suppress the horror in his heart. He swallowed hard before squeezing out a question through his teeth, “How many men are there?”

The guard reporting the news knelt on the ground, his forehead touching the gold brick, his voice trembling. “There are

100,000 men.”

The soldier’s long sword fell to the ground with a clang, his face showing terror.

Arthur seemed not to believe it either and repeated the question. “Say it again, how many people?”

“One, one hundred thousand people…” The guard’s voice was even lower, his head almost buried in the cracks of the floor

tiles.

The air in the hall froze instantly, and everyone’s face was gloomy.

Michael subconsciously calculated that there were 7,000 Aegis Guards soldiers left in Pidence City, and 3,000 Royal Guard soldiers who had surrendered.

There were barely ten thousand men in all, and to throw them against a hundred thousand of the Northcold iron cavalry was sheer folly, like an egg dashed upon a boulder.

“Back then, 30,000 Ugloria cavalry surrounded Fouver Pass for three months, and these 100,000 people…” Alexandra didn’t continue, but everyone understood what the unspoken words were.

Pidence City might be captured in less than half a month.

Half a month later would be the death date of all the people in the city.

Everyone was silent, their faces full of sorrow.

“So what if there are 100,000 people?” Athena’s voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence.
