Chapter 644 Felix''s Colossal Fall (Part One)


    The emperor had been in aa, and Felix made good use of the situation. He had established


    himself as the autarch of the imperial court. But just one nightfall overturned everything for the empress


    and Felix. After the emperor woke up, the empress was put under house arrest and Felix was jailed.


    The proverb, "there''s many a slip twixt the cup and lip", seemed very apt for their situation. Felix dreamt


    of being the emperor, but just in an instant, everything changed for him.


    When Felix was escorted by the guards into the prison, Andy was there to take Francis out of the


    prison. The two princes met face to face. Felix, who had been in high status, was now disheveled and


    frustrated. On the other hand, Francis remained unyielding and decent, even though he was put in


    prison. But now, he was a free man.


    "Felix, I had warned you that you will get yourself into trouble if you do too many nasty things," Francis


    said slowly, without even giving a nce at him. "Now do you agree with me?"


    "Francis, don''t you dare show off in front of me! I may go to prison now, but I''ll leave eventually from


    here. The next time we meet, I won''t let you be so presumptuous about me," Felix groaned as he was


    furious. He hated that he didn''t kill Francis while he had the authority. Now, Francis even dared to be so


    arrogant in front of him! Felix felt humiliated, and was raging in anger.


    As Francis heard his furious response, it was very clear for him that Felix would not change his mind or


    attitude. Shaking his head helplessly, Francismented, "You are so stubborn."

    "Prince Francis, it''s time to get out of here. His Majesty is waiting for you," Andy said after he took a


    nce at Felix. He was sure that there wasn''t any possibility for Felix to rise again. Attempting to


    murder the emperor would be dealt with harshly, and no one, not even the crown prince, could escape


    from the punishment. Besides, the emperor had already drafted an imperial edict to dethrone Felix as


    the crown prince.


    "Okay, let''s go," Francis answered. He stood straight and walked outwards. Felix turned his head and


    looked at Francis, only to see him walking towards the sunlight. On the contrary, he was going into the


    darkness, farther and farther away from the light. Felix was unwilling to give up and struggled, but was


    controlled by the guards. The guards then dragged him to the depth of the prison. The light became


    dimmer and dimmer as he was taken forward, and finally, the light went out of his sight. Now, it was just


    pitch darkness surrounding him.


    "Get inside the cell," the prison guardmanded and then threw Felix into the cell rudely. There


    wasn''t an iota of leniency for him from anyone since he made an attempt on the emperor''s life. Felix


    had lost all his glory as the crown prince he once enjoyed, and he would bite the dust in the dark


    dungeon. Whether the emperor would spare his life was ater story.


    Because of his identity as a prince, Felix stayed in a separate cell. Although it was simple, it was still


    clean. "Stay here and don''t make trouble. Since the whip doesn''t differentiate between a prince and a


    commoner, it maye after you. Remember that you are now just a prisoner, and not the prominent


    crown prince," the guard scolded.


    Felix red at him with a fierce face. It made the guard feel a bit frightened and he stepped backward


    in reflux. But soon, he remembered that the man in front of him was no longer the crown prince. He


    then whipped Felix and shouted, "You bastard! How dare you re at me like that!"


    "All right, all right. Let''s leave now," another guard soothed as he stopped that angry guard fromshing


    at Felix. Even though Felix was no longer the crown prince and was just a prisoner, he was still the son


    of the emperor. If the emperor didn''t want to execute him and if he allowed him to continue his life as a


    prince, those guards wouldn''t be able to resist him when he got discharged from the prison. Everyone


    knew that Felix was a narrow-minded man and he would take revenge for sure if he was given any


    chance.


    "Let me out! I''m the crown prince! Let me out now!" Felix rushed to the prison door and shouted. The


    prison guard thought of going back in and whipping him once again, but when he thought about his


    companion''s words, he resisted and went straight away, pretending that he heard nothing.


    Felix grabbed the prison door and screamed in horror. He still couldn''t understand how he ended up


    like this. The only thing he could remember was that he was just a heartbeat away from bing the


    emperor, and then there would be thousands of people kowtowing to him and waiting for his


    commands. But, in the blink of an eye, he just ended up as a prisoner. He couldn''t ept this huge


    difference.


    "Let me out! You assholes! Let me out!"


    Hearing Felix''s yell, the prison guard sneered and said, "Prince Felix, consider this as my favor as I am


    telling you this. His Majesty has already issued the imperial edict stating that you have been dismissed


    as the crown prince. You''d better not consider yourself as the crown prince anymore. We still don''t


    know whether you will make it out of this prison alive."


    "Don''t talk nonsense. After all, he is the emperor''s son. Who knows, the emperor may let him out


    someday,"


    another prison guard said as he twitched his mouth. If the guards weren''t worried about the emperor


    letting Felix out someday, they would have thrashed Felix to their entire satisfaction. Back when


    Francis was sent here, he was quiet, cultivated, and treated the guards with modesty. But unlike


    Francis, Felix behaved arrogantly. He even looked down upon the guards and treated them as some


    lowlifes.


    "Murder is a serious crime. Even if His Majesty somehow lets him out, he will just be amoner


    and would never enjoy the privileges of a prince," the prison guard snorted coldly. "He can''t stir up any


    trouble for us."


    "Well, you never know! It would be better not to pay attention to his rants. He is our prince anyway.


    Offending him might cost us seriously," another guard said.


    After Francis reached the Imperial Pce, he went straight to the Tranquil Hall. Although the emperor


    had woken up from thea, he was still weak. That was partly because of his hypersexuality and


    partly due to the effects of poison. Even though the empress poisoned him with a minimal dose, the


    emperor was still anxious when he learned about the truth. Being too concerned, he became weaker


    and weaker. His health was getting worse because of this mental agony.


    "Greetings, Father. I hope you are doing better," Francis said as he knelt down.


    "Get up," the emperor said as he gestured him to arise. He had heard that Francis acted like a lone


    wolf and he even confronted Felix, suspecting of thetter''s involvement in his father''s sickness. But


    Francis was just thrown into prison in return. The emperor hadplicated feelings for him. "I heard


    you suffered a lot these days," he sighed.


    "I''m fine, Father. You are the one who went through all the hardships and you even look much thinner


    now," Francis replied as he raised his head. Worries were written all across his face. "Take good care


    of yourself, Father. We all need you."
