"Are you just going to keep shouting like an Idiot or are you actually going to do something!? You are usele-"
Before Thronton could say anything else, Cyneheard appeared in front of him, grabbed his face, and smashed it into the floor.
*Whoosh*
*Bam*
*Crash*"Ugghh!"
Cyneheard didn't stop there, after pummeling his son into the ground, he kicked his face, his body flew back and clashed with the wall.
In just two moves, Thronton's face was crushed and disfigured and the only thing he could do was groan in pain.
"Uggh…"
All his anger and irritation at being compared to his brother faded away.
Cyneheard glanced at Thornton and spoke in a cold tone,
"I think you forgot who actually makes the rules here just because you have been leading this house for too long.""…"
Thornton didn't say anything.
For some reason, seeing his son lying around like that annoyed Cyneheard even more.
He appeared in front of him and kicked his face again, crushing his head between his leg and the wall.
"Great Gra-"
Raguel tried to stop his Great Grandfather, however, Gibson grabbed his arm and shook his head,
"Don't do anything foolish."
"But he might di-"
Raguel wanted to counter, however, Gibson interrupted.
"He was asking for it."
"Well… he was"
Raguel couldn't help but agree.
The two of them just stood in silence and continued to see Cyneheard taking out his anger on his poor son.
After 5 minutes of merciless beating, Thorton's face was unrecognizable, this time, he wasn't even groaning, most probably, he had passed out from the pain.
"Know your place."
Cyneheard spoke coldly.
"…"
Of course, Thornton wasn't in any condition to reply.
"Hmph!"
Cyneheard snorted, he then turned towards Gibson and Raguel and spoke,
"You people messed up."
"We apologize, father."
Gibson lowered his head and apologized, Raguel repeated his actions.
"This is not something a simple apology can solve. Let's leave the Royal Consort out of this for a while, you targeted both the Second Princess and the Third Prince at the same time. It would have been fine if you had managed to kill them, however, with the Second Princess surviving and blaming everything on you,
You are in a difficult position.
Merula House, who lost their chance to have some power over the Throne will now come at us, Vestalis House would not leave this chance, they might contact Merula House and even Centho House will come after us as well."
"Will their Protectors interfere as well?"
Raguel questioned with a solemn look on his face.
Cyneheard shook his head,
"You don't get it, they won't directly fight us. With Lady Astaria out, they would never dare to act recklessly, they would use this chance to take advantage of us.
They will pin many blames on us and would try to make up for all their losses.
Rather than going against Lady Astaria by fighting us directly, they will ask for her help and would 'seek justice'.
They are going to play dirty."
Cyneheard's expression was not good.
"B-But it is just our imagination, correct? This might not happen, right?"
Raguel still had hopes.
His hopes, however, were crushed.
"The moment our attack failed, I set up a few of my men to keep an eye on the Three Duke Houses, the three of them are exchanging letters very frequently. They are definitely planning something."
Gibson spoke with a solemn look on his face.
"I expected that…"
Cyneheard nodded.
However, even though his prediction was correct, he was not the least bit happy about it.
"If Evane becomes the Queen, things would be even worse."
Suddenly, Gibson commented.
Raguel's eyes shined momentarily, however, he controlled his emotions and questioned in a serious tone,
"What should we do about her then…?"
"…"
Gibson didn't say anything and glanced at Cyneheard, waiting for his answer.
"We need to deal with the Second Princess."
Cyneheard spoke with a solemn look on her face.
"Are we going to kill her?"
Gibson questioned.
"Are you a fool!? How are we going to Kill her, let alone the fact that she has a King Stage Cultivator as her subordinate and there are 2 Duke Houses supporting her, Lady Astaria is out right now.
Any reckless action and our whole house will be destroyed.
Do not underestimate an Emperor, you people do not know how scary she is."
Cyneheard warned.
"Then what should we do…?"
Gibson questioned.
"…"
Cyneheard turned silent.
Even he didn't have an answer to this question.
They were surrounded.
They have lost most of their Expert Stage Cultivators in this attack, the other Three Duke Houses were looking at them like hungry wolves looking at injured prey. Astaria Skyfall, the strongest being in the world is out of her Cultivation room and was now investigating the entire incident.
He couldn't think of anything that could save them.
"…"
"…"
"…"
The entire room turned silent.
"There is one way."
After a long silence, Cyneheard spoke.
"What is it?"
Raguel questioned with an excited look on his face.
"This might affect our reputation and would definitely lower our overall strength, however, this is the only way I can think of right now,
We need to break all our relationships with the Expert Stage Cultivators that were killed in this attack.
From now on, we don't have anything to do with those assassins, we were innocent.
If we manage to prove this, then they would have no choice but to give up on attacking us, of course, we might even have the chance to fight for the throne."
"I have already cut all the ties with those assassins."
Gibson spoke.
Hearing that, a satisfied smile appeared on Cyneheard's face.
"You did well."
"However, I do not believe we can prove our innocence in this incident. Vestalis House is giving its all to prove us guilty. I believe that they have already convinced Merula House, the two houses our working together to forge even more evidence against us.
With our current power, we can't go against them."
"…"
Cyneheard turned silent again. After thinking for a while, he spoke,
"We do not have any choice, we can only wait. If things don't go in our way, then,"
A cold look appeared on Cyneheard's face and he spoke,
"Then we would go all out in order to get rid of that Evane Bitch."
