"Guards! Have the guards come up!!"
An authoritative command echoed from the elder king.
Underneath the tower, the elder king's adjutant immediately ordered a dozen guards to rush up the stairs.
They ascended quickly, arriving to stand by in the room before long.
Chi Xingye watched the ominous throng of a dozen guards before turning her gaze to Helian Chengyan.
From the moment the elder king and his men entered, he didn't spare her a single direct glance.
Even now, while the elder king was threatening to drag her out and execute her, Helian Chengyan showed no intention to intervene at all.
It was as though everything happening to her was of no concern to him.
Chi Xingye was practically fuming from his cold demeanor.
"Ye, I will ask you for the last time. Do you plead guilty?" the elder king, leaning on his crutch, demanded again.
