878 Words
Everyone was almost sluggish at this moment. They all looked at Will immediately!
No one thought that such an extremely shocking scene would appear at the ancestor worshipping ceremony today. More unexpectedly, Will, who had been a loser for seventeen years, would change so much now.
"Your Highness!"
The four guards of the palace stepped forward respectfully and said, "Please give me the head of the Golden Tiger!"
Will smiled and handed over the Golden Tiger's head to them. He could feel the shock, fear, and dread of everyone from all walks of life! It meant that from now on, he would be the real prince.
Will didn't bother to get this recognition or attention. But what he represented was not only himself but also the deceased Will and that person he called mother.
He must get this attention and even future glory for them.
"The Grant Preceptor, does the ancestor worship ceremony end by now?"
"Yes! Yes!"
Only then did Russell wake up and hurriedly announced, "The ancestor worshipping ceremony is over! Your Highness, you can go back to your palace now."
"Okay, Serena, let's go!"
They were worshipping the ancestors of the Dynasty. But Will and Serena still needed to honor one person.
This same day of ten years ago, Will and his mother left the palace to attend the ancestor worshiping ceremony. But his mother was assassinated, leaving Will alone and helpless.
In these ten years, Will, the original owner of this body, never left the palace. Therefore, he had never gone to the mother's grave.
Will knew it wasn't that he didn't want to, nor he dare not to go there. He was ashamed of himself.
Today, Will should go to her mother's grave to take a good look at his mother.
"Right!" Before he walked far, Will paused and said, "Grant Preceptor, please help me take care of these trivial things. I hope to see that these people go to the Punishment House today. " After Will said it, some people's face turned pale.
The tomb of the crown prince's mother was built in the south of the royal tomb. It was in a remote mountain with few people.
On the top of a remote hill, a lonely tomb stood very desolately. This was his mother's tomb!
"Empress, I'm here to see you, and Your Highness is also here today."
Serena would come once a year at this time. Every time, she came here alone. Today, Will was with her.
Although Serena felt said facing the solitary grave, she was a little happy. Not only did Will come, but she also witnessed what Will did at the ancestor worshiping ceremony.
Although she could not understand the cultivation, she also knew the concept of slashing the monster. She felt people even changed their opinions towards Will. She was very clear in her heart that the prince today had changed.
Regardless of whether this change would be good or bad, Serena was thrilled. She wished for Will to have a bright future and hoped that Will would avenge the gone empress in the future!
"Mother!"
Will knelt in front of the grave and said nothing else. He had seen his mother, even if it was just a trace of the mother's residual consciousness. He believed that if his mother were alive now and saw him today, then his mother would understand what he was thinking in his heart.
"Who is there?" Will shouted. Then, a person appeared in the distance behind him.
Serena turned around quickly and looked at him. She was shocked and kneeled on the ground, respectfully, "Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty?"
Will got up and slowly turned back to take a look. He was the current Emperor of the Cherish Dynasty!
He was extraordinary and robust. No emotion could be detected in the eyes. However, his calming sense could still be noticed by others. The Emperor was indeed no ordinary person.
But Will didn't know if it was an illusion or what. He sensed the depression and sadness of the Emperor. When the Emperor, his father, looked at him, it seemed that something was surging in his deep eyes.
This was also because Will was in a high position in another world and possessed a keen observation. Otherwise, he would not be aware of all this.
Will looked at him, whether the princes or the generals or even the Emperor, he had no much respect for them. Will was already a strong man and would never be awed by other gifted people.
This was also the first time Will saw the Emperor of the Dynasty. He had to see him in person.
"You are a smart young man."
No one knew how long they had been looking at each other. The Emperor spoke slowly. His voice was a bit hoarse, without the power and majesty he had imagined, more like the sound of an older man.
What he said made Will startled slightly. Then, he smiled. The so-called smartness naturally meant that he chose an excellent time to show his talent and strength in the Hall of Ancestor worshipping, in front of all the dignitaries. People must be extremely cautious about hurting him in the future.
"But," The Emperor added, "You are not smart enough."
Will smiled and said, "It is the perfect timing and circumstances. Over the past ten years, I have been pushed into the water many times. Last year, I was in a coma for three months. If I don't show anything, I might be dead."
