Hiding in the East Palace, the prince turned out to be a girl!

Shenguang Empire, Junyao City.

Junyao City is the imperial city of the Shenguang Empire and one of the largest cities in the Holy Word Continent.

"Your Highness, it's time for you to attend the morning court."

"Your Highness, are you there?"

Outside the exclusive training room of the Shenguang Empire Crown Prince Okins, many people gathered in the Prince's Mansion. They called for Okins for a long time.

Okins has not been out for several days.

There was something important today, and Aukins was supposed to attend the morning court, but he still didn't come out, which made everyone in the Prince's Mansion nervous.

"Knock on the door."

The Crown Princess said solemnly.

Normally, they would be calling outside, and Okins would definitely know that. But now their calls have no effect, so they can only knock on the door to see what's going on.

"Dong dong dong!"

Some of the prince's personal guards came to knock on the door.

However, there was still no response after a while, and even after knocking again, there was still no response. This made the Crown Princess and the others feel clouded.

"Bang bang bang!"

The Crown Princess personally stepped forward and knocked on the door.

But even if he knocked on the door like this, there was still no movement in the training room.

"Someone, force the door of the training room open."

The Crown Princess looked solemn and authentic.

The formation was activated even with the door of the training room closed, which meant that Okins must be inside, but why was there still no response when he knocked on the door like this?

"Yes, Princess."

Many strong men took action immediately.

The defense of the training room is very strong, but if a group of strong men join forces to break open the door of the training room, it will not be a big problem. The formation will be destroyed in less than half a minute.

"boom!"

The door to the training room collapsed.

Several strong men rushed into the training room immediately.

"Your Highness!"

There were exclamations in the training room.

The Crown Princess and others also quickly entered the training room, and they saw a terrifying scene. The body of Crown Prince Okins was torn into pieces.

The head, limbs, and torso were all separated. It was estimated that he had been dead for two or three days, and a terrible corpse smell filled the entire training room.

"vomit!"

Several people who could not bear it covered their mouths and vomited outside.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The Crown Princess and the others couldn't believe that Okins, the Crown Prince of their Shenguang Empire, who had the cultivation level of Queen Martial, actually died like this.

"Report the news to His Majesty immediately!"

The Crown Princess said tremblingly, her face quickly turned pale, the Crown Prince died, and as the Crown Princess, she had to be buried according to the rules of the Shenguang Empire.

Many other people in the Prince's Mansion also knelt down.

"His Highness is very powerful, and the defense of the Prince's Mansion is also very strong. His Highness's silent death in the training room must have been caused by a top expert."

"Nine times out of ten, it was Xiao Fan's sword slave Zhuang Yan, or Nuwa behind him.

A strong man from the Prince's Mansion said angrily.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The news reached the palace, and it didn't take long for Emperor Ota to rush over and step into the training room. Emperor Ota saw the corpse in the training room.

His face became extremely ugly, and he exuded a terrifying aura.

Murdering the crown prince of their Shenguang Empire and doing so with such brutal methods was a great insult to him and their entire Shenguang Empire.

"By my order, the Shenguang Empire has entered a state of war!"

Emperor Ota said with murderous intent.

The Shenguang Empire is very strong, and very few things can bring the Shenguang Empire into a state of war.

As long as it enters a state of war, the Shenguang Empire will undergo huge changes. Everyone must be prepared for a state of war. The Shenguang Empire will rapidly expand its army.

The population of the Shenguang Empire is smaller than that of the Tianlong Empire, but it still has a population of over two billion. The number of soldiers in the Shenguang Empire is usually about seven million.

Entering a state of war, the number of soldiers will double!

The Shenguang Empire has a reserve army, and the number of the reserve army is as high as tens of millions. As long as it enters a state of war, the army will expand very quickly.

"Your Majesty, think twice."

"Your Majesty, is it inappropriate to enter a state of war like this?"

Two ministers stood up.

Entering a state of war, all aspects will change, and the interests of many people will be harmed. There will be many people who oppose the Shenguang Empire.

"My prince is dead, and you still advise me to think twice."

"Come here, chop off their heads! If anyone tries to persuade me to think twice, I will chop off their heads as well. My prince cannot die in an unknown way!"

Emperor Ota roared with rage.

As time passed, Athena also got the news and rushed over. Her face turned ugly when she saw the body of her prince brother.

"Father, how could the prince's brother--"

Athena trembled.

Emperor Otta looked at Athena. Athena had now reached the middle stage of the Martial Emperor, and her strength was very strong in the entire Holy Word Continent.

"Athena, you have dealt with Xiao Fan a lot. Do you think this matter was done by Nuwa or his sword slave Zhuang Yan behind Xiao Fan?"

Emperor Ota sent a message to ask.

Athena thought about it for a while and said, "Father, I don't think the possibility is very high. Why did they kill the prince brother to anger us?"

"I think it is more likely that there are forces who deliberately killed the prince's brother, hoping that there would be a conflict between our Shenguang Empire and the Tianlong Empire."

Emperor Ota thought, this possibility is not low.

No matter who the enemy is, their Shenguang Empire must enter a state of war. As long as the enemy is detected, they must give the enemy a thunderous blow!

Emperor Ota glanced at all the princes.

Finally, his eyes fell on the Norman prince.

Prince Norman is not the second prince, but since the crown prince died, his strength is the strongest, and it is more appropriate for him to become the new crown prince of the Divine Light Empire.

"Norman, the empire cannot be without a crown prince, you become the crown prince of the empire."

Emperor Ota said in a deep voice.

If there is no crown prince, if he is attacked, the Divine Light Empire will fall into civil strife.

"Plop."

Prince Norman knelt down, "Father, I think it is not appropriate. Although I have the cultivation of the Martial Emperor, I am only at the initial stage of the Martial Emperor."

"Now the world is changing and the situation is turbulent. In the future, we need powerful people to control the situation. I may not be able to reach the level of the Martial Emperor in twenty years."

If it was before, Emperor Ota asked him to become the crown prince, Prince Norman would happily accept it, but now he has no confidence.

"Father, Athena is extremely talented. She may reach the level of the Martial Emperor within half a year, and she may become a demigod in the next three to five years."

"Father, I think it is more appropriate for Athena to be the crown prince."

Emperor Ota looked at Athena.

Athena said quickly: "Father, I'm just a princess, I can't do it."

Emperor Ota pondered. There had been empresses in the history of their Divine Light Empire, and the Tianlong Empire is now an empress. It is feasible for Athena to become an empress.

There was a small problem, that is, Athena and Xiao Fan had a bet.

Even if she became an empress, the bet was still there. If Xiao Fan awakened at that time, Athena would become Xiao Fan's slave, which would be very embarrassing.

"What do you think of Athena becoming the crown prince?"

Emperor Ota looked at many ministers and asked.

All the ministers were silent.

If they support it, what if Athena didn't become the crown prince? If they don't support it, they will also be embarrassed if Athena becomes the crown prince.

"You can talk to me through voice transmission, and I will keep it secret for you!"

"You all must express your opinions, this is an order."

Emperor Ota said in a deep voice.

After hearing what Emperor Ota said, everyone expressed their opinions through voice transmission. After a while, Emperor Ota looked at Athena again.

"Athena, from now on you are the crown prince of our Divine Light Empire!"
