God Of War Dad

Thud!

Ashby arrived at the doors of the Throne Hall, but instead of pushing the door open, he knelt there without hesitation, shouting loudly, “Father!”

“I have come to confess my sins!”

His voice was filled with sorrow, even with a hint of a sob.

To confess his sins!

Ashby had indeed come to confess, but he still had a trick up his sleeve. He knew that the entire Throne Hall was under King Ron’s control. Although King Ron couldn’t leave the hall, within it, King Ron was the unquestionable king!

Once he entered!

It would be like handing over his life to King Ron!

This!

This was why Ashby knelt before the door!

Better safe than sorry!

If!

If King Ron truly refused to forgive Ashby’s sins and wanted to kill him, Ashby believed that with his full strength in the dark realm, kneeling at the door, he should have a chance to escape!

Seeing this!

The guards who were originally standing outside the hall turned and left, because the conversation between King Ron and Prince Ashby wasn’t something they were entitled to overhear. If they heard something they shouldn’t, they might lose their lives!

“Confessing?”

“Heh!”

After a while, King Ron’s voice came from the hall, filled with anger, he scoffed, “You all, in your quest for power, have formed factions, disturbed the capital, and caused panic among the people!”

“This!”

“Could be forgiven!”

“But you, you shouldn’t have been so ruthless, so ambitious, coveting the supreme throne in the Hall of Throne, forming an alliance with a traitor like Fergus Archer!”

“Have you ever thought?”

“If Fergus Archer came to the capital and you really got the Cauldron to help him refine the Black-scaled Python, entered the Bright Realm, and stormed into the Hall of Throne, taking my life!”

“At that time!”

“Would he be so kind as to keep his promise and hand over this readily available supreme throne to you?”

His words!

They were filled with righteous indignation!

Moreover!

They came with a strong sense of disappointment!

“Father, you must understand!”

Ashby hurriedly explained, “Father, I have thought about what you said, and I am fully prepared. I will never let our kingdom fall into the hands of that traitor, Fergus Archer!”

“Actually, I…”

Before Ashby could finish speaking, he was interrupted by King Ron!

King Ron suddenly asked, “Are you trying to say that you have secretly bought over the eight tiger generals under Fergus Archer, correct?”

“I…”

Ashby was stunned!

He was dumbfounded!

He had planned to work with Fergus Archer, so naturally, he had a way to control Fergus Archer. In addition to the Cauldron, he had secretly sent people to contact the eight tiger generals under Fergus Archer and reached some unspeakable agreements!

About this!

He was certain that even Fergus Archer himself did not know!

However!

What he never dreamed of was that such a secret was unknown to Fergus Archer, who spent day and night with the eight tiger generals. Yet, King Ron, who was confined to the Throne Hall, somehow got the news!

Cold sweat!

Suddenly broke out, soaking Ashby’s forehead and wetting the brocade clothes that had just dried!

King Ron continued, “And this royal city!”

“Within the city!”

“Among the royal guards that I have carefully trained, there are also many who you have secretly turned and rallied under your banner, right?”

“Do you want me to list their names, one by one, for you?”

Damn!

Damn!

Damn!

Damn!!!

Ashby knelt there, his heart felt like it had been stabbed with a knife, trembling violently, his eyelids jumping wildly, the corners of his mouth twitching violently!

In an instant!

His heart was filled with despair!!!

Unbeknownst to him!

Until just now, before he entered the royal city, Ashby was confident that even if all his plans had been disrupted, at least the tiger generals under Fergus Archer, although Fergus Archer was dead, were on his side, and there were many supporters within the city!

He thought!Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He could attack, and if need be, he could fight King Ron to the death!

He could retreat!

He could escape from the capital and claim the throne in South Forest!

But now!

With just a few words from King Ron, all his confidence was shattered, all his illusions were broken!

The list!

King Ron actually had a list of the royal guards who had rallied to him!

That meant!

With a single command from King Ron, he could easily destroy the power that he had painstakingly built, and he couldn’t harm a single hair on King Ron’s body!!!

Fight to the death?

No!

He wasn’t even qualified to fight KingRon to the death!!!

Thud!

In utter despair, Ashby, like a deflated ball, collapsed in front of the hall doors. His tears uncontrollably streamed down his face, and through gritted teeth, he confessed, “I am guilty!”

“I deserve to die!!!”

It was at this moment that Ashby truly realized, in front of King Ron, he was just a son. His proud schemes and plots paled in comparison to King Ron’s wisdom and strategies. They were nothing but child’s play!

Self-entertainment!

Your father!

Is always your father, who knows you like the back of his hand!!!

“Die?”

“Sigh…”

After a while, King Ron’s sigh echoed from the hall, saying softly, “The crimes you’ve committed, if we were to truly bring them to justice, death would be too easy.”

“Death is just empty talk!”

“The punishment you deserve!”

“How could I bear to impose it on you???”

Whether it was genuine emotion or masterful acting, when these words were spoken, King Ron’s voice choked slightly, filled with deep sorrow and intense helplessness!

At this moment!

Ashby knew, he wouldn’t survive!

Even dying!

Had become a very luxurious thing!!!

“Father!”

Ashby cried, “I deserve punishment, I am willing to die!”

“I only ask!”

“Father, for the sake of our father-son relationship, please spare my wife and children. They are your grandchildren, your daughters-in-law, and our clansmen!”

“They are innocent, please, father, be merciful!!!”

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

As Ashby spoke, he wept, continuously bowing his head to the Hall of Throne. Soon, the skin on his forehead was torn and blood was gushing out, mingling with his sweat and tears, staining his face and the jade flooring in front of him!

The sight!

Was nothing short of tragic!

However!

King Ron in the underground altar also seemed to be struggling. For the next five minutes, his voice didn’t echo again, while Ashby kept bowing his head, again and again!

Non-stop!

For five minutes!!!

If it were an ordinary person, they would have probably died on the spot, right outside the entrance of the grand hall. It was a good thing Ashby was a fully developed practitioner in the dark realm, with strong dark energy protecting his body, which kept him safe!

Five minutes later!

“Sigh…”

Another long sigh, then King Ron spoke, “We share the same blood, the bond of father and son.”

“You are guilty, and the guilt lies with me!”

“It’s my fault for not educating you properly, allowing you to lose yourself in the pursuit of power, neglecting the love of father and son, the bond of brothers, and the great righteousness of the country, leading you to commit such rebellious acts!”

“So!”

“I won’t kill you!”

Hearing this!

Ashby’s heart skipped a beat, his whole body shook, and he stopped bowing his head, raising his unbelieving face, and asked in a trembling voice, “Father, you…”

“Don’t rush to thank me!”

King Ron didn’t give him a chance to speak. He continued, “I can pardon you for your crimes, but you can’t escape from your living crimes!”

“Now!”

“I have a very important task for you to handle. If you succeed, it will be counted as atoning for your sins. If you fail, even if I don’t kill you, you will die!”

Ashby was stunned!

Then he asked, “What task?”

“Please tell me, father, I will give it my all, sacrifice everything, to take this burden off your shoulders!!!”

Getting a second chance at life was like a pie falling from the sky for Ashby. No matter what the task was, failure would only result in death. The situation couldn’t get worse than it already was!

So!

Ashby was now as excited as if he had taken an adrenaline shot!

“Of course, it’s about the chaos in South Forest!”

King Ron said, “I just appointed Sean as the General of the South, to go to South Forest and quell the rebellion!”

“And you!”

“You need to serve as his deputy and head to South Forest together!”

Deputy?

Ashby’s face turned green, and the adrenaline that had just shot up cooled down instantly!

Sean wanted to kill him in the first place, making him Sean’s deputy, wasn’t that just sending him to his death???

“Don’t worry!”

“Let me finish!”

King Ron naturally knew about Ashby’s concerns, so he continued, “I am well aware of the grudges between you and Sean. So, I specifically instructed Sean earlier that the mission to South Forest is solely to quell the rebellion, and he is not to take personal revenge on you!”

“So!”

“Rest assured, you are safe!”

Hearing this!

Ashby finally felt at ease, and asked.

“So… What is the task that father has assigned to me?”

“Find an opportunity!”

“Execute Sean!”

King Ron’s voice suddenly turned cold, he huffed, “I personally tested Sean’s strength a while ago. This young man is extraordinarily talented, his progress rapid, and his combat power astonishing. Even I would find it hard to kill him!”

“When the time comes!”

“Take your men, add the hundred thousand soldiers I assigned to South Forest, plus your undercover forces in South Forest, the three forces combined, must ensure Sean’s death in South Forest!!!”

His words!

Were filled with murderous intent!

Meanwhile, Ashby!

His eyes lit up!!!

Execute Sean?

The task that King Ron assigned, made him even more excited than the pardon for his crimes!

Adrenaline!

Surged again!

And this time, it was boiling!!!

“Of course, it’s about the chaos in South Forest!”

King Ron said, “I have just appointed Sean as the General of the South, to go to South Forest and quell the rebellion!”

“And you!”

“You need to serve as his deputy and head to South Forest together!”
