"Tyrant?" Gideon's expression was one of murderous fury as he cried out, "Nothing happened when your father was emperor. Ever since His Majesty took the throne, the New World has grown to impossible heights. Lord Kenny is the only deserving emperor, and you are nothing but a former princess who cheated death.
"I'm not going to waste my breath with you. The Emperor showed me great favor and kindness. I'll never obey you!"
As the words rang through the air, a strong aura emanated from Gideon's body as he drew his longsword. He charged in Yvette's direction, at speed as swift as lightning.
The longsword tore through the air it passed, constricting the atmosphere around it.
Yvette sighed when Gideon charged forward. "You and your brother are nothing but corrupt."
Yvette summoned her fiend soul energy as the words rang through the air. Then, a terrifying aura spread through the room.
She was incredibly strong!
The other generals gasped in shock when they sensed her energy.
At the same time, Gideon exclaimed as well. Nevertheless, for the sake of avenging Lord Kenny, he gritted his teeth and charged forward.
Just as the long sword was about to pierce through her, Yvette's expression bore no change at all. She raised her hand slowly and held the tip of the longsword between her two fingers.
Indeed, she was powerful enough to halt the attack with speed as quick as lightning.
All of Gideon's enthusiasm had vanished in an instant.
What!
Gideon gritted his teeth and moved to step forward. Yet, to his shock, the longsword did not budge at all.
"Give it up."
Yvette's gaze seemed to flash with pity as she spoke the words, flicking her other hand.
Yvette had never intended on becoming the New World Empress. That was an idea that just came to her, and Yvette had made up her mind. She would become the Empress and search for Skylar immediately.
She had been at Skylar's mercy before, but things were different then. She was determined to get that scroll from him.
The palace fell silent.
A few minutes later, a general finally came forward. He collapsed to the ground on his knees toward Yvette and cried out, "Cyril Hersey at your service, Your Majesty! Long Live the Empress!"
That general's name was Cyril Hersey, and his strength was similar to Gideon's.
Cyril Hersey was intelligent, and the situation before him was clear. Yvette had been the one to get the fiend soul at Janson's grave back then. She had been the true descendant to the throne all along.
More importantly, he was as good as dead if he did not obey her.
