The Man’s Decree

“She was a good girl. Although she wasn’t particularly gifted or powerful and she didn’t come from a prominent background, she was kind. Unlike those cultivators in the Ethereal Realm, she didn’t have the ambition to ascend into immortals. I’ve been surrounded by countless women, but only when I’m with her do I truly experience joy and warmth!”

The more Cedric said, the gentler his gaze became.

At that moment, Cedric no longer exhibited any signs of frenzy or bloodlust.

After he finished speaking, he picked up the poison pill and tossed it directly into his mouth without hesitation.

“I can face death, but I can’t bear to forget her. I have to go find her. Thank you for liberating me. If there’s another life, I’ll repay you then!”

Cedric looked at Jared with deep gratitude.

“There’s no need to talk about the next life. You’ll have the chance to repay me!”

With that, Jared turned around and stepped down, leaving Cedric bewildered and confused about what he just said.

But soon, Cedric felt as if his whole body was being scorched by flames. He felt like he was about to explode!

He knew that the poison pill had taken effect!

Cedric didn’t bellow and yell. Instead, he sat cross-legged in the iron cage, silently awaiting death!

Before long, Cedric’s consciousness became increasingly hazy. He felt like he could almost see the girl that he cherished so dearly.

Bernard looked at his own son, his heart filled with immense pain.

Jared walked up to Bernard and said softly, “Your Majesty, as I’ve mentioned before, only by confronting death can one find a way out. Although it’s a poison pill, it’s also a pill that can untangle his inner turmoil. Actually, Prince Cedric isn’t ill at all. It is simply that his longing has grown so intense that it has led to an alteration in his consciousness and resulted in a split of his personality. To put it precisely, he has dissociative identity disorder, which is considered a form of mental illness!”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Mental illness?” Bernard slightly furrowed his brows. “Love sickness?”

“Does your son have a girl he’s particularly fond of?” Jared inquired.

Bernard nodded and explained, “Yes, he was very fond of a girl. However, this girl comes from an ordinary family, with no power or influence. Besides, her cultivation level is also not up to par. Since she can’t offer any assistance to Cedric, I didn’t approve of them being together. In order to get Cedric to give up, I told him that the girl had already passed away so that he wouldn’t keep pining for her.”

“So, the girl isn’t dead?” Jared asked.

“Yes, she isn’t dead. She has been living in Epea all along,” Bernard replied.

“That’s fantastic! My poison pill only temporarily prevents him from losing his mind. If the girl isn’t dead, the only one who can fix the problem is the one who created it. If you want your son to fully recover, only that girl can make it happen!” Jared said.

“So, it turns out my son’s illness was all because of that girl. I never realized he was so deeply in love with her. Ah, it was all due to my foolishness. Why did I try to interfere? I almost caused his death. Now that Cedric has eaten the poison pill, isn’t he going to die?”

At that moment, Bernard began to develop some trust toward Jared.

“Of course not. Even though the poison pill has the power to end a life, everything in this world has its counterbalance. My poison pill was designed specifically to counteract mental fragmentation. Given Prince Cedric’s abilities, the poison pill will undoubtedly cause him some harm, but it certainly won’t be fatal,”

Jared reassured Bernard.

As soon as Jared finished speaking, Cedric suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Immediately after, he was tormented by an agonizing headache, his eyes turning an intense, fiery red.

Stunned, everyone looked at Jared. Given Cedric’s current condition, it seemed like the poison pill had taken effect. They doubted he would survive!

After violently spewing a few mouthfuls of fresh blood, Cedric suddenly collapsed!

In a rush, Bernard quickly moved forward to unlock the iron cage and carry Cedric out of it.

After around thirty minutes, Cedric came to his senses surprisingly. Although his aura had noticeably weakened, the violent and restless energy was gone!
