Cedric's Pov~
Everyone in the meeting room gasped after hearing the emperor's words.
All of us were stunned after hearing it as this wasn't a simple matter.
He is born to be the next emperor, how could his title be stripped of this easily?
But the emperor never speaks empty words, which means he is serious about this decision.
I felt concerned and bad for his highness and my gaze had already moved toward him which left me stunned.
Why is he just standing still?
Shouldn't he protest against this?
The crown prince just stood firmly with his head high, indicating that he was not afraid or he was confident enough that we wouldn't lose.
He won't let us lose.
"Is this a challenge, Your Majesty?"
The crown prince asked with a devilish smirk on his face and the emperor narrowed his red eyes.
