Chapter 756 Turnaround

?The nobles were all shocked by my reaction before quickly looking at what the fourth prince had in his hand.

It was a small round and smooth white stone that didn't seem like anything special, but to anyone that had the ability to sense it, they would be able to feel the magic energy fluctuations coming from this stone.

It was clear that this wasn't just any normal stone.

After the fourth prince came out, he didn't say any word until he was right up beside the throne. Then holding up the stone, there was a roar that came from outside of the castle.

This roar was powerful enough to fill the entire throne room, showing just how loud it really was.

There was no doubt that this would have caused chaos outside, but no one really cared about that right now. At this moment, all eyes were focused on the stone that was in the hands of the fourth prince.

The fourth prince brought the stone down and said, "You never thought that we would find it, right?"

I gritted my teeth and wanted to take a step forward, but the two royal guards suddenly brought down their spear to stop me. They held their spears crossed in front of me, preventing me from moving.

The eyes of the nobles lit up when they saw this as they could guess what this stone was.

Even if they weren't certain, they already had some ideas of what this stone was.

The fourth prince confirmed these guesses by saying, "That's right, it's the Wyvern Stone."

The nobles looked even more excited when they heard this.

Naturally they had heard the rumours of this Wyvern Stone, it was what had caused that large commotion in the capital not that long ago. Though many of them thought that it was just a rumour that was used to lure the princes out of the city for them to be slaughtered.

Now it turned out to be real and the fourth prince was holding it.

Based on the rumours of the Wyvern Stone, they knew that this thing had the power to control the wyverns. They knew that this was the thing that Duke Zwein had used to build up his power.

If the fourth prince had it now...it meant that they most likely took it from Duke Zwein when he wasn't looking.

It was no wonder the king suddenly decided to act like this.

Since Duke Zwein had lost his Wyvern Stone, he had lost the power that could cement his position. Without the Wyvern Stone, there really wasn't anything that Duke Zwein had to his name.

That was why the king was no longer cordial with the duke and was punishing him like this.

Everyone knew that once the duke left the capital, he would most likely never return.

There weren't many eyes in the mine on the border, so there's no telling what could happen when no one was watching. There were some things that shouldn't be said in this world...

But the nobles were all happy about this.

They had felt that Duke Zwein was a threat to them with how quickly he had risen up.

There was no doubt that he would be a thorn in their sides if he was allowed to live.

The king just ignored all of the nobles as he looked down at Duke Zwein, but then he suddenly looked up and said, "Before we sentence him, I wish to seek the counsel of my ministers. If there's anyone that wishes to speak up for him, speak up now."

There wasn't a single person that spoke up.

There were a few people that looked like they wanted to say something, but they kept their mouths shut in the end.

The king's eyes swept over them and he gave a nod before saying, "Now, if there's anyone that wishes to condemn the duke, speak up now."

This time, it wasn't as quiet as before.

There were some that immediately spoke up and called for the death sentence for crimes that had never been listed before.

There were some that only spoke up after everyone else spoke up, but their words weren't as harsh as the first ones to speak. It was as if they were still hesitating over something.

Finally, the king raised his hand and said, "Alright, I have heard your voices and will send the duke to two months of hard labour at the mine on the borders. If there's anyone else that has anything to say, then speak up now."

This time, no one said a thing.

They all knew that the king had already made his decision and he was only saying this out of ceremony.

There wasn't anything that they could say to actually change his mind.

Speaking up now would actually hurt them.

The king gave another nod before turning to the fourth prince to say, "You will lead the wyverns to escort the duke to the mine on the border. This will be an opportunity, so do not waste it."

All of the nobles immediately reacted when they heard this.

They knew what the opportunity the king mentioned was.

Now that the fourth prince had the Wyvern Stone, this would be their way of showing that the wyverns were now in the hands of the royal family. If the nobles wanted anything to do with the wyverns, they would have to listen to the royal family.

It was a way of establishing the might of the royal family.

So the nobles all started planning on how to treat the royal family in the future.

After all, those were wyverns!

Everyone wanted the power of the wyverns for themselves.

The fourth prince bowed his head before saying, "Your son obeys."

Then when he looked up again, he turned to look at me to say, "Brother, it seems like this will be our final trip together. I hope that you will try to enjoy it at the very least."

I just glared at the fourth prince as he said this.
