Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)

Arthur saw his uncle looking at him with a sudden somber expression and smiled awkwardly, ”Uncle Sven, I…don ’t understand what you are talking about. ”

Sven let out a solemn sigh, ”Haaai~ my nephew, why do you think you can hide such things from your own uncle? ”

Arthur wondered why his uncle was suddenly taking an interest in him when before, he would usually only have casual talks with him. This was the first time he saw him being so concerned about him, and so he couldn ’t help but feel a bit moved.

Sven walked towards Arthur and patted his shoulders as he said, ”I know how the relationship between you and your father is. Even though I personally haven ’t seen anything, I can easily discern it from your and his face. How can I not when I had known you both even before you two were born. ”

Sven gave a clenched half-smile of pity as he continued, ”Despite being an exemplary crown prince, you are subject to such injustice from your own father. How can I, as your uncle, keep watching from the sidelines? All this time, I thought that maybe after you reach the Sky Ethereal Realm at such a young age, he would go easy on you. But this…. ”

Arthur ’s eyes darted around as he said in a low voice, ”Uncle, careful. If my father hears this, we might be in danger. ”

Arthur was, in fact, boiling down his caution, as even the dumbest person in the empire knew better than to speak of the Xeton Emperor in a disrespectful way since it would be seen no less than treason.

If somebody were caught or reported to be talking about Ruthren in such a way, they would be instantly punished with death no matter who. Even if it were highly influential people who got caught, they would still be severely punished, and such events had already been recorded in the annals of the Xeton Empire.

This was the reason Arthur never expressed his dissatisfaction, indignation, and anger towards Ruthren or talked about it to others.
