Chapter 631 – Mercy and Death

The Little Demon Empress’ icy voice reverberated in the De everyone’s face to becoly The Little Demon Empress had only oing to handle all these sinners ere kneeling here at the sa to have a private chat with each and every one of them

All those present felt their hearts beat violently in their chests They faced the Little Deht sense of camaraderie from one another, but if it was a private summons… then everyone would do their utmost to try tothey knew about everyone else’s sin In order to live, they would do whatever it took prove their loyalty at all costs…

And besides the Little Demon Empress, no one else would knohat the other person said or vowed, so they would not even knoho betrayed who out or did not prove their loyalty enough, it was extremely likely that they would be made into exaiven the Little De anyone present would be as si

With that, in an instant, these people, ere already soaked in sweat, started to sweat even ht to say Moreover, in this seven day period, the plan they had come up with to present a united front and cover up each other’s ugly deeds quietly collapsed a atmosphere

Duke Xuan, who had been first to be suazes of all ere present, he made his way, step by step, towards the stone roo space of less than two hundred paces, he nearly collapsed to the floor on at least three different occasions Each and every step he tookan endless abyss

The Duke Xuan in Yun Che’s memory was short and fat man with a sincere smile But in just these short seven days, he had actually shrunk considerably Once Duke Xuan entered the stone room, he collapsed to his knees and his entire body shook like a leaf “This insignificant duke… gree… greets the Little Denificant duke knows that he has sinned… but it was only this insignificant duke who had sinned… and even this insignificant duke’s wife had advised hinificant duke lost his mind… and the rest of my Duke Palace was really not involved at all”

“I beg the Little Denificant duke alone The others inThey were only dragged down by this insignificant duke… I beg the Little Denificant duke’s fanificant duke has been executed, I will definitely be deeply grateful to you… I just beg that the Little De…”

Duke Xuan’s entire body kept shaking, and he eeping violently as his face was filled with a ret and terror As he continued to desperately beg the Little Demon Empress, he had already koed ainst the floor with such force that his forehead was covered in blood

“Did this empress say that she wanted to kill you? Do you really desire death that much?” coldly asked the Little Demon Empress

Duke Xuan lifted his head, and his expression turned blank as he could scarcely believe the words that he had just heard

“Have a cold snort and continued in a soleh your Duke Xuan Palace has not made any major contributions in these hundred years, you have not committed any errors either What was truly rare was that when this eood majority of the Duke Palaces secretly defected over to Duke Huai, your Duke Xuan Palace had never betrayed or abandoned this empress before In addition, even if you had thrown your lot in with Duke Huai, it was only because you thought that this empress had died, and it was the only way to ensure the safety of your Duke Palace”

“Duke Xuan, you are at fault But this empress is also at fault My fault lay in the fact that I was too weak, so weak that those ere loyal to this empress were subjected to continuous abuse and huades Furthermore, in the hundred years of this eht to betray or abandon me Instead, you reh to cover the greater than four … so you ish and tears filled his eyes as he did not dare believe each and every word that he had just heard Ever since the Little De dropped into an icy abyss Every as filled with a chilling/i intent, every order seeh the streets of the Demon Imperial City… As a sinner, he could not sleep for a whole seven days Not only that, every single day was filled with fear and trepidation, and he had already prepared his own coffin His greatest desire was to preserve his wife and his Duke Palace… But ould have thought that when it was his turn to be judged by the Little De intent, he was not even condemned but praised instead

It was as if he had instantly flown froht up to heaven Duke Xuan’s eyes instantly overfloith tears, and he did not rise up Instead, he collapsed onto the ground and prostrated hinificant duke… thanks the Little Denificant duke had received royal favor, but he instead repaid it with perfidy This in and of itself is enough for me to die a thousand times over… but the Little Demon Enificant duke is unable to repay this in any way So the only thing this insignificant duke can do is to swear my eternal loyalty and devotion to you It will be constant even in death… If I ever dare to even show a hint of betrayal again, may the heavens smite me…”

“There is no need for further words, rise” The Little Demon Empress casually waved her hand “Your wife and children are definitely worried sick for you back at your palace So quickly return to them and allay their worries Withdraw”

“I thank the Little Demon Empress for her divine mercy… I thank the Little Demon Empress for her divine … but this tiratitude He re thanks Even after his feet had stepped out of the barrier, he still had not stopped

“I thank the Little Demon Empress for her divine mercy… I thank the Little De in the great hall saw Duke Xuan le wound on his body and with a face that was flushed red with excite ceaseless thanks

“Duke Xuan…”

A few people tried to talk to him, but Duke Xuan did not pay attention to anyone Instead, he turned around and quickly left the place But everyone could see clearly that, while his expression was clearly one of relief… there was some joy hidden there as well

“This…”

“Could it be that the Little Demon Empress actually pardoned him?”
