Chapter 4611
Prince Auten became more and more furious. He pointed at Prince Aurin and scolded, "Don't think you can behave so insolently just because the late emperor favored you!"
"Behave insolently?" Instead of being angered by this, Prince Aurin found it funny. "The only person who's behaving insolently here is you."
Words could not describe just how furious Prince Aurin was. The throne was supposed to be his and yet it was stolen by Prince Auten and not only that, he was put on trial.
"Let me ask you this! Do you plead guilty to the crime of helping Darryl escape?" asked Prince Auten with a darkened expression on his face.
Prince Aurin took a deep breath and looked at Prince Auten fearlessly. "I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I admit any guilt? Darryl has done so much for the Godly Region; without him the fiend race wouldn't have been annihilated. Without him, Darryl's master's fairy soul wouldn't have been saved. But instead of being grateful for his contribution, you all decided to lock him up in the Sky Prison to safeguard your own benefits. Can you really say this is how those who abide by the heavenly rules should behave? I find this whole thing absurdly laughable."
Both the expressions of Prince Auten and Empress Heidi, who was sitting beside him, changed to anger. In the next second, Prince Auten gritted his teeth and shouted, "Fine!
You still refuse to admit to your crime, right? Guard, carry out the punishment!"
A General quickly came over with a Spirit Whip. As its namesake, the spirit of the person being whipped would suffer from unbearable pain. When Darryl was captured, the Nine Heaven Emperor used the Spirit Whip on him when he suspected that he was colluding with the fiend race.
Prince Aurin's heart was shaken when he saw the Spirit Whip. He looked at Prince Auten angrily and said, "Auten, our father will turn in his grave and never forgive you if he knew that you stole the throne from me and punished me with the Spirit Whip."
"How dare you use our late father to scare me? Whip him! Whip him now!" shouted the utterly unnerved Prince Auten.
The General waved the Spirit Whip again and the crisp sound of the Spirit Whip meeting flesh made all the other officials jump in their skin. All of them knew for sure that Prince Auten had gone a little overboard but none of them dared to stop him for they all knew him to be violent and tyrannical. Only a fool would dare to cross him.
They continued to strike Prince Aurin and he seemed unable to hold on, but still, he gritted his teeth and refused to cry out. Soon, his clothes were completely dyed red and though his body seemed to be giving out, his eyes remained steadfast.
"That's enough!" Prince Auten raised his hand, signaling the General to stop when he saw that Prince Aurin was about to faint. Then he slowly stood up and looked condescendingly down at Prince Aurin. "Last chance. Do you admit to your crimes?"
At that very moment, Prince Aurin was not only trembling all over his body but also in the depths of his soul. He had lost the strength to speak and was extremely weak, but he still shook his head firmly in the face of Prince Auten.
'Dammit!' Prince Auten lost what little compassion he had at the answer. He sneered and said, "Very well; this is your choice. Guard, lock him up in the Sky Prison. He will be tried with Darryl once the latter is captured!"
