"In the morning, this man was so feeble."
The prince from the Ausenco royal family said.
"Some people appear unmoved by riches and power on the surface, like righteous men, but in reality, their hearts are so fragile, a little threat and their knees buckle."
The Emperor said with a smile, feeling great satisfaction at Eden's cowardice shown earlier in the day.
The envoys from Ausenco echoed the Emperor's sentiment, praising his hawk-like sharpness of sight.
Constantine continued,
"Envoys, you may not know, but I had originally intended to forgive him, unwilling to bicker with such a commoner. Yet unfortunately, the Prophet's Letter arrived, demanding a trial for this heretic."
Arsia, standing to the side, felt a continuous disgust at her father's insincere words.
