Chapter 1008: Standing in Front of the King

"Without deceiving Father King, it is not any brother of mine who has taken control of Coldflame Kingdom, but I!"

Ariel's starry eyes filled with resolve as she nodded earnestly at the incredulous Old King, "Please rest assured, Father King, as long as I do not fall, Coldflame Kingdom shall thrive and prosper!"

"Ariel, are you saying that you defeated your reckless brothers and ended this sudden power dispute?"

Disbelief etched deep into the steadfast face of the Old King, he blurted out, "How is that possible? I had already thanked the gods that you managed to preserve your life, how could you possibly be a match for those three?"

As a wise monarch, who knew all too well that the struggle for power would greatly harm the nation, the Old King had been secretly and closely monitoring the movements of the three princes even before falling ill.
