Dragon Monarch System

Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043:- Unworthy Emperor

’Isn’t she the Goddess of Wisdom?’ Many Dukes who had seen the goddess of wisdom before in the past immediately recognised her.

’It has been almost 2 decades since I last saw her or anyone else saw her.’ The goddess of wisdom was seen during Aditya’s birth when she came to meet Aditya’s father and agreed to be Aditya’s fiancée. After that, it was as if she had completely vanished into thin air.

’How did the goddess of wisdom and the exile crown prince meet each other despite not being on the main continent?’ Many had this question in their minds. But right now it wasn’t the moment to ask such a question.

’Who are the two other girls?’ Everyone immediately recognised the Goddess of Wisdom. But they failed to understand who the other two girls were. But one thing that immediately stood out about all three girls beside him was that each of them was equally pretty.

Each of them possessed goddess-level beauty. The moment some thought of this comparison, those people immediately felt that there was a really high chance that the two girls standing beside Athena were also goddesses.

At the same time, some men could not help but look at Sophia and then shift their gaze toward the four girls standing nearby. Sophia was known to possess beauty that many described as being at the level of a Goddess, and under normal circumstances, she would easily stand out among any crowd.

Standing beside those four girls, especially when two of them were confirmed to be actual Goddesses, Sophia no longer looked as extraordinary as she usually did. Her beauty, which once made others lose their composure, now seemed ordinary in comparison.

It was not that she was not beautiful. It was just that the standard around her had suddenly risen to a completely different level. And in front of that level...She hardly stood out at all.

’He has changed so much.’ Harrington looked at the back of his grandson. Just by seeing how much he had changed compared to the last time, he could not help but feel a deep sense of pride. Even though he had no real contribution to this change, that did not matter to him. What mattered was what Aditya had become.

From the very beginning, he could see it clearly. Aditya was not pretending to be someone else. There was no act, no fake behaviour. Everything about him felt natural.

He looked like someone who was used to being at the centre of attention.

The way he carried himself, with elegance, grace, and dignity, spoke volumes. It showed his maturity as a man and also showed that he was someone who was ready to take on the responsibility of the throne and the crown of such a massive empire.

Aditya was going to become the youngest Emperor in the history of the Celestial Dragon Empire. But to Harrington, age was the last thing that should be considered when deciding whether someone was worthy of ruling or not.

Aditya was different from both his father and his grandfather. Boris always had a strong sense of authority and seriousness that made him look distant and unapproachable. His son, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. He always carried a small smile on his face, which made him look more friendly and approachable as an Emperor.

But Aditya was different. He had the perfect balance between the two. He carried the authority of Boris, but without the distance. And he carried the warmth of his father, but without losing his dominance.

Before this moment, Harrington only wanted to fight for Aditya because he wanted to protect his grandson. In his mind, as long as he was alive, no one in this world would be able to touch him. That was the only thing that mattered to him back then.

But now, after seeing how much his grandson had changed, and how much he had grown in the right direction, Harrington’s thoughts began to shift. This was no longer just about protecting a family member. He could clearly see that there was no one else in this empire who was more ready to carry the responsibilities of the throne and the crown than Aditya.

The more he observed him, the more convinced he became. There was something different about him.

The strange part was not just his confidence or his calmness. It was the way he carried himself in front of everyone. It did not feel like he was someone who was preparing to become an Emperor. It felt like he already was one.

It was as if he had already lived that life, already faced those responsibilities, and already understood what it meant to rule.

With a Cold look, Aditya made his entrance. His steps were neither hurried nor too slow.

At a calm pace, he walked towards the body of the fallen General Nico William and placed a white rose on the general’s chest.

The only people who accompanied Aditya to the body of the fallen general were the three goddesses who came with him. As for the rest, they stayed behind and waited for him to finish, giving respect to the dead.

”You have fought for the truth, and the truth has cost you your life. I swear on my name, I will find the killer, and I will make sure to give him a very painful death.” For some reason, although Aditya was facing the body of the dead general, when he spoke the last part, the members of the organisation felt like these words were directed at them.

It was as if he was looking at the organisation members and telling them this to their faces.

’There is no doubt that he is the grandson of Harrington.’ Duke Ferdinand couldn’t help but chuckle. Harrington also had the same style of threatening people.

After Aditya was done, Laura, Athena, and Rin all three took turns placing white flowers on the general.

”It has been a while, little brother.” Ren stepped forward and stood close to Aditya with a gentle smile.

The reason Ren called him little brother was to show everyone that the man whom they were supporting was still a child. Also, Ren did this to intimidate Aditya.

But Aditya saw right through his little scheme.

He just smiled back in response.

”Indeed! And looks like you have somehow managed to convince dad and mom to make you the Emperor.” Hearing this, Ren felt like Aditya was implying that he begged Alen to make him the Emperor.

”I did not need to convince anyone to be the Emperor. Uncle felt I was a better option, so I was chosen as the Emperor.” He did not outright say that he was better than Aditya, but everyone caught what he wanted to say.

”My little brother, I tried many times to bring you back. Unfortunately, Uncle and Aunt never wanted to see your face again.”

Ren purposely bought up the old things that would sting Aditya. He wanted to embarrass Aditya and make him a joke in front of everyone today.

”But still I am here.” Aditya replied with a smile.

”I am here with Grandpa Boris. You remember him, right?” Ren’s expression darkened slightly, though he tried his best to hide it. He did not dare to look at Boris. Deep down, he knew the truth. He knew that he was responsible for the mess that had spread across the Empire, and that realisation weighed heavily on him.

More than that, he could not bring himself to face the very man he had once looked up to his entire life. Boris was not just the former Emperor to him. He was someone Ren had studied, someone he had admired, and someone he had once wanted to become like when he took the throne.

But now, things had changed.

The guilt of everything he had done, combined with the fear of seeing Boris’s cold and disappointed expression, made it impossible for him to raise his head. Even the thought of meeting his gaze was enough to make him uneasy.

The next second, the warm smile on Aditya’s face vanished. ”The Celestial Dragon Empire needs its rightful Emperor.”

”The days of you deceiving everyone by wearing the fake Crown and sitting on the Fake Throne of the Celestial Dragon Empire are done.”

The moment Aditya spoke those words, everyone, regardless of which side they picked, froze in place. The whole hall suddenly became silent.

The only people who remained calm were Boris, Athena, Laura, and Rin.

Even the Goddess of War stared at Ren with a shocked face.

”You sent your men to the Dwarf Tribe living in the Tunnel World so that their Tribe Leader would personally come and alter the runes, allowing you to sit on the throne and wear the crown.”
