All the kings their important advisors and even the strong Imperial soldiers who were present were deeply astonished. They could hardly believe the words that had just come from the Emperor himself.
The Emperor was an almighty powerful warrior. He was a being people whispered about.
They said he was capable of splitting the earth in two with just his bare hands creating vast deep chasms with his strength.
For this Emperor to point towards a young prince from a relatively small and not very important kingdom and declare that this boy had such immense huge potential… it was something that had never happened before.
It was unprecedented.
A silent grudging respect for Eric began to form in the minds of the Imperial soldiers. They along with all the kings had also seen it with their own eyes.
They had watched how a captain of the Empire a strong warrior had been killed right there in front of the Emperor. And he had been killed by this same young prince from a small kingdom.
