Chapter 4581
Prince Auten was overwhelmed with emotion. Then, he waved his hands." At ease, all of
you."
He stared at Master Magaera gratefully. "I'm appointing Master Magaera as Lord General
starting from today onward. He'll be in charge of the entire army."
Despite being hot-headed and brash, he knew well enough that without Master Magaera,
he would have never been able to become the emperor.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Master Magaera fell to his knees in appreciation.
Master Magaera was not overwhelmed with emotion. Status and power did not matter to
him. He was only thinking about Empress Heidi.
"Everyone!"
Just then, a soldier ran in fearfully. He bowed to Prince Auten. "Your Highness, Darryl
Darby... Darryl Darby has escaped the Sky Prison!"
When the soldier sent Lunaris General to the Sky Prison, he had taken a look at Darryl's
cell. However, it was empty, and Darryl was nowhere to be found.
What?
Everyone's expressions shifted instantly.
Master Magaera looked especially frantic.
When Empress Heidi intended to sentence Darryl to death, Master
Magaera had no choice but to go along with it despite feeling that it was very appropriate.
The consequences might be unbearable if Darryl escaped.
After all, Darryl was powerful. He was also Prince Aurin's master-what would he do if he
found out that Prince Auten had been made emperor?
"That b*stard!"
Prince Auten sensed the direness of the situation as he roared at the
soldier. "What were you doing? The Sky Prison is supposed to be incredibly well-guarded.
How could you let him escape?"
"Your Highness!" The soldier trembled as he fell to his knees to reply fearfully, "I was
patrolling outside the Sky Prison the whole time, and there was nothing off. I guessed that
someone snuck him out. Someone that knows the Sky Prison well."
Prince Auten's expression darkened as he fell into thought.
It did make sense that Darryl had been snuck out of prison.
Who had done it?
Master Magaera pondered that before it hit him. He turned to address the soldiers. "Go
and send for Prince Aurin."
Master Magaera was an intelligent man. He guessed that it was Prince Aurin who had let
Darryl out. After all, Darryl was Aurin's master. A pupil would never stand by and watch as
his master got thrown into prison.
"Yes, hurry!" Prince Auten got it as well; he urged the soldier.
"Yes!
The soldier cried out and scurried out of the Imperial Sky Palace.
It was not long before the soldier returned, an unreadable expression on his face. "Your
Highness, Honorable Master, I just searched the grounds. Prince Aurin is not in the court
he's cultivating in. He has gone missing."
Prince Auten's expression grew icy. He roared, "That is too much! How dare he let
someone out of prison on his own accord. Heed my commandhunt down Prince Aurin.
Also, send men to seize Aurin and Darryl Darby. Kill them if you find them-no exceptions."
Prince Auten's expression was one of pure rage, a sharp contrast to the glee and
excitement he felt.
He had been worried that he would have to compete against Aurin for the crown. Who
would have thought that Aurin would commit such a crime, letting Darryl go secretly? He
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhad one less competitor, so he could not contain his joy.
The entire Imperial Sky Palace chorused in acknowledgment.

Meanwhile, in the Nine Mainland's New World.
Under Prince Aurin's protection, Darryl finally reached the Nine Mainland safely through
the teleportation gateway.
"Alright!"
The two men landed atop a hill. Darryl took a deep breath before he turned to address
Prince Aurin. "I guess this is farewell. You should get back now, as soon as possible."
Prince Aurin's expression was filled with reluctance as he flashed a bitter smile. "I don't
want to go back, Master. My mother died when I was younger, and now my father's gone
as well. I don't have anyone left in the Godly Region-I'd rather stay by your side and learn
from you."
Darryl took a deep breath and flashed a comforting smile. "Well, that won't do! You’re the
Godly Region's prince, and you deserve more than settling in the Nine Mainland. I even
heard that the late Emperor has declared that you are next in line to the throne. There's so
much more waiting for you in the Godly Region."
Darryl's expression grew serious. "I hope you'll be a good emperor, just like your father."
