4 Water of Corrosion

Even though the king's first play didn't go with his expectations, he didn't take it to heart because, no matter what, Zion would die or swear and drink the water of corrosion to affect his talent in magic and give him only a year to live.

He hates to say this, but the young cub has a double affinity and is a rare element at that, ice and light ability.

The young cub was tested when he was two years old without the knowledge of Teria back then.

The king was shocked at first, but he knew Zion would be a great threat to the crown prince, who also has triple elements: one rare and two ordinary magma, water, and earth. So, he made sure no one knew the truth, not even the great magic tower.

And now the cub is to be banished, he should at least give him a memorable experience and make sure he dies in a year with his body corroded with water of corrosion.

"You will be shipped away from the Empire and never return. If you ever do so, you will be executed on the spot.

Furthermore, you are stripped of your royal House Altaria name.

If you ever cause problems using the name of the Altaria royal family, you will be hunted down and burned alive. "

After the royal announcer finished reading the royal scroll, he bowed to the audience (nobles) and nodded to the crown prince to begin the last play, which the king was waiting for.

Why was the crown prince the one to do the last play?

Well, to answer that question, it's because when he learned of the plan of the king, he asked his father to let him do the last part because he loved using Zion as a punching bag, and as a loving brother, he should at least do the farewell goodbye (torture).

Yes?

Tap, tap, tap... The crown prince stepped forward as he smiled at Zion's demise.

"My little brother, as your big brother, I have the responsibility to represent the other siblings of ours, don't you think so?"

When Zion heard this, his body started to shake in fear. Maybe because of the past, Zion feared him too much.

"Big brother Leo, don't you think you should send me on my way?"

I'm just a peasant now. If you stay near me, your noble self would be dirty, so what do you say and send me away? " Zion smiled as he shamelessly stepped back.

'I've been strangled by my father. Now, my brother Leo also wanted a piece of me. Are you serious?

What kind of God did His previous self even offend to be in this predicament, and I'm the one paying? '

"Don't say that little brother, just drink this and you'll be on your way."

With a smile, Leo reached for the crude copper chalice. "Come on, little brother, just one big gulp and we are done. You don't want the royal guards to assist you to drink, right?"

"Of course, it would be bad if they touched my drink and gave it to me.

After all, Big Brother is offering it.

Don't you think it would be better if both of us drank, big brother? "

Zion smiled and reached for the chalice while smiling. He already knew he had no escape. The water could be poisoned, but he couldn't decline.

If he did so, maybe the royal guards would try to pry open his mouth to force him to drink all the content.

And he can't allow that to happen and can only drink it on his own while controlling what goes into his mouth down to his throat and be welcome to his belly.

"Good, haha, but you first, little brother, because this is your last day in the castle and the empire. You should do the drinking.

Look, even our father is watching us,

So be a good and do as I say. "

When Zion heard Leo's words, he couldn't help but shout Leo's name inside his heart, and till the end of his words, he finally snapped and became ridiculing.

The nobles saw this and could only laugh with them. Hey, they didn't care about Zion at all.

Everyone laughed.

"Well come on now, little brother, drink it."

Gulp... Zion gulps his saliva as he looks at the water in the chalice.

Gulp, gulp, gulp... He drank a tiny amount of the water, but what happened next almost made him regret his choice of living.

Pak... He dropped the copper chalice... And kneeled as he controlled himself, but the intense pain became unbearable as he shrieked in pain...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

The pain was so unbearable that he even lay down shaking, and rolling, and the veins in his body bulged as if they were going to explode...

"You all will pay... for this ahhhhhhhhhhhhh."

He clenches his teeth as he glares at the person in front of him before losing consciousness because of the unbearable pain.

When the king saw this, he didn't feel anything, as he was just a disgrace and an illegitimate child after all. Even if he died after drinking, he wouldn't care.

The nobles saw the events of Zion's pain for a minute and gasped at how strong the water of corrosion in a person's body is. As the number one forbidden water that could destroy one's future, they could only gulp and pray that the king would not secretly put the water into their cup.

They saw Zion glow in blue and white for a second before completely disappearing.

When the king saw this, he was now sure that Zion's future was doomed, as his life was now to be counted starting today.

"House Head, Dania, take Zion and ship him far away. You could leave him on an island or the other two continents, but make sure he is alive. Do you understand, as I want to hold my end of the bargain"

When Ray Dania heard the king's command, he immediately knelt and promised to use his family's ship to send him away as the king's wanted.

"Yes, my king, I will obey your orders; guard, drag him away, and follow me."

"Yes..." The guards complied with the command of Ray Dania and lifted Zion to be dragged away... Tap, tap, tap...

As the king, royal siblings, and wives saw this, they only smiled and didn't care anymore, as they knew Zion would die in a year or even months if his luck was bad and he encountered a beast or monster in his end days, but they were sure that no one could save him except God.

The other noble houses also thought the same thing, because no one had ever lived for more than a year after drinking the water of corrosion.
