MISTRESS OF FLAME

CHAPTER 61

CHAPTER 61

DRAINED AND WEAKENED, Sollel was kneeling in the middle of the throne room, in front of the emperor while Warlord Hakkeran was standing behind her. The Mistress of Flame was too weak that even her forehead was down on the floor, as if she was bowing.

And the sight of the Mistress of Flame being weak made the emperor smile.

"What a great job, my nephew!" Emperor Gabrien exclaimed in delight as he stood up from his chair and walk down from his throne to Sollel who was almost crouching on the floor. "I know that I can always count on you. I'm very glad!" He gripped both of Hakkeran's shoulders to show her appreciation more. "I'm so proud of you, Hakkeran!"

Hakkeran simply nodded his head to accept the praise. The emperor was already used to his nephew's silence that he didn't mind.

"We will throw a feast!" The emperor declared to his trusted aide and Prime minister that were also present in the throne room before he looked down at the Mistress of Flame that was immobile on the floor.

The emperor's trusted aide and the Prime minister clapped their hands to show their support.

"We will show the whole Azitera that the Mistress of Flame, one of the most powerful beings in Azitera, is not a problem to the empire and that we will continue our prestige!" Emperor Gabrien smiled triumphantly. "This will surely quench any unrest in our kingdom."

Hakkeran frowned at that and asked the emperor, "unrest, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Gabrien sighed and nodded. "Yes. These weak and lowly races were trying to destroy our empire just because the Mistress of Flame escaped. Hah!" The emperor kicked the Mistress of Flame in the gut, sending her rolling on the floor. "What can this useless woman do? Nothing! Aside from her blood, she's useless!"

The emperor kicked the Mistress of Flame again and again until he was satisfied because of the problem she caused and the stress she had given him.

"You will not escape again, do you hear me?!" The emperor gripped the Mistress of Flame's hair and pulled her head up to slap her multiple times while snickering at the superiority he was feeling.

Imagine, the Mistress of Flame, one of the most powerful beings, were his slave and prisoner! Emperor Gabrien was gloating.

Hakkeran was boiling with rage inside, but outside, his face remained passive and expressionless.

"Hakkeran, my nephew, you have to join our feast." The emperor finally let go of the Mistress of Flame and face Hakkeran. "This feast is for you."

Hakkeran nodded. "I will gladly accept your invitation, Your Majesty. May I bring my warriors? They also helped me trapped the Mistress of Flame. It was not just me."

Emperor Gabrien snorted at his nephews modesty. He had always been like that, always giving his warriors their due credit. Maybe that's what makes the Adral Warriors strong. The emperor didn't care, really. As long as Warlord Hakkeran Adral was under him and he works for the empire, he didn't care what the Warlord does with his warriors.

"Whatever you want, my nephew." The emperor was too happy that Hakkeran caught the Mistress of Flame to reject Hakkeran's humble request. "You can bring all your warriors. We will all throw a feast for them as well! Will you like that, my nephew?"

Hakkeran nodded and showed a small smile. "Yes, Your Majesty. I will like that very much."

Emperor Gabrien patted Hakkeran's shoulder in delight before he went back to his throne and commanded his aide and Prime minister. "Send the news to every corner of Azitera that the Mistress of Flame, the evil queen, had been caught and will be back to her prison. Our weapons will continue outstanding as ever and wealth will be upon us once again!"
