The First Heir

Philip did not continue his line of questioning, and Fennel quickly left the manor. During this time, Philip remained in the manor and kept guard at the entrance leading to the secret chamber. He could sense the vast, chaotic energy and power of rules inside the secret chamber. His father’s condition was not that good.

Half a day later, Fennel returned. His expression changed rapidly as if he was heavily burdened.

“So, what did you find out?” Philip sat on the sofa in the living room and asked.

Fennel sat down, drank a cup of tea, and said, “The situation is not too good. Zeus is in seclusion now. According to the information from the scouts, Zeus’ injuries are not light. The sacred city is under martial law now, and the fight between Leo and Amos has moved from the dark out into the open. The sacred city has been divided into two forces. They’re now in the process of seizing the power of the chief god.”

Hearing this, Philip fell silent. After thinking for a while, he said, “Is Zeus really in seclusion?”

Fennel nodded and said, “He should be. Since your father is already in this state, Zeus shouldn’t be any better. Besides, according to his temper, he wouldn’t leave the sacred city unattended like this, unless his strength and body have encountered a huge crisis.”
