Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4574

Master Magaera chose not to show it. His expression remained utterly neutral, and he did not attempt to elicit any additional information.

At the same time, the officials in the immediate vicinity could not help but whisper amongst themselves.

"It's unbelievable. While imprisoned in the Infernal Shadow Prison, Darryl Darby managed to take down the head of the Four Evil Beasts, Wild Fury, and survive to tell the tale."

"Yes, I can't believe the Holy Sky Stone's predictions came true."

"It's such a shame what happened to His Majesty, though."

Even as the murmurs echoed through the air, Darryl remained on his knees, his expression unmoved by the sounds.

Everything had come to an end in the Godly Region.

He could finally return to the Nine Mainland and reunite with his family. Titles, status, rewards—none of those mattered anymore as long as he could see his family again.

"You—"

Darryl was about to say his goodbyes when a distraught Empress Heidi raised a finger to point at him and roared, "It's all your fault! You're responsible for the Emperor's death."

"Seize him!"

Empress Heidi's beautiful features hardened at that point, and her eyes were boiling with rage.

She thought that Darryl was the one who should have died. The Nine Heaven Emperor must have sacrificed his life trying to save Darryl.

The words rang through the air as two godly generals strode out, shoving Darryl to the ground as they passed by.

Darryl had just returned from the Sealed Fiend Mountain and thus could barely struggle as his fairy soul had not recovered.

Darryl was caught between shock and fury when he was attacked so suddenly. He felt helpless too.

'Motherf*cker! Why did Empress Heidi shove all the blame onto me?'

The royal officials were startled as well. Their faces revealed an unreadable expression.

Darryl had gone through hell for the Godly region, yet Empress Heidi placed the entire blame on his shoulders. That did not seem very fair at all.

Darryl shook his head bitterly.

He could tell that Empress Heidi was distraught over the death of the Nine Heaven Emperor, and she lacked a means of expressing her rage and resentment. As a result, she had made him the scapegoat.

At the same time, Master Magaera and the royal officials fell silent as well.

They knew that Empress Heidi was venting on Darryl. However, there was no way for them to refute her words. After all, Darryl had concealed his identity and snuck into the Sealed Fiend Mountain only to have his plan foiled.

Even though he had ultimately succeeded in rescuing the Ancient Ancestor's fairy soul, the Nine Heaven Emperor had died for it.

It was extremely difficult to place the blame on a single individual and only one individual.

"Put him in the Sky Prison."

Empress Heidi did not waste any more words. She waved her hand and said, "He shall be sentenced to death a hundred days after the Emperor's death!" Empress Heidi wanted nothing more than to kill Darryl then and there. However, the Nine Heaven Emperor had just passed, and it would be inauspicious to kill Darryl within a hundred days of his death. So she decided she would wait.

Darryl was apprehended by two Godly Region generals, who marched him off to the Sky Prison as soon as the order was given to do so.
