This time, the military directly arrested Aaron in the office and escorted him onto a hovercraft in full view of everyone, without any intention of blocking the news. So within just two hours, the news that the Empire's only prince had been arrested for treason exploded across the entire light net.

The entire light net was in an uproar, with almost every forum discussing the matter. The public reaction was far more intense than when General Cheshire was arrested for treason three years ago.

After all, this was a prince! In the Empire's thousands of years of history, there had only been two treasonous princes before, with Aaron being the third.

[Fat Firewood]: First General Cheshire, now the great Second Prince. Are these nobles who live in luxury all day long bored? They want to harm their own country so much. The Empire has only been at peace for a few years, and someone is already getting restless?

[Petting a Fish for Fun]: Blind, blind, blind. What kind of operation is a prince committing treason? I always thought this kind of thing only existed in history books. I never thought I would actually encounter it in my lifetime... Doubting life!

[Fat Rabbit Smash]: The late Emperor and Empress Hathaway died in the war to defend the country. I'm afraid our Second Prince has forgotten how his parents sacrificed themselves? Treason, heh.

[Six to the Sixth Power]: Silently feeling heartache for our Emperor. The late Emperor and Empress have been gone for many years, and his only brother has committed treason. I feel like in the end, the Second Prince will most likely be sentenced to death. Our Emperor really has no direct blood relatives left by his side. Fortunately, he still has the Empress to comfort him. Heartbroken.

[Meow Meow Meow Woof]: This matter must have irrefutable evidence, otherwise the Imperial Family probably wouldn't have announced it so publicly. I estimate a public notice will be released soon. I want to see how our Second Prince betrayed this country. I heard the Empire's highest military court has already convened an emergency trial. I bet a cucumber the verdict will come out today.

[Are You a Pig]: I don't understand. The Empire's situation is so stable now. Aaron could have just enjoyed being the Second Prince, lying down and enjoying a bunch of privileges every day, wouldn't that be great? Why commit treason, how much water got into his brain? Damn, looking at it this way, Elai's attack on His Majesty back then must have been related to him too. It's just that the Second Prince's move of borrowing a knife to kill was done cleanly, and no flaws were found. His Majesty may not have been unaware at the time. After all, it can be seen that since then, His Majesty began to distance himself from the Second Prince.

[Three Thousand on the Road]: According to the analysis above, I'm afraid the Second Prince wanted to replace His Majesty and become the Emperor himself. Emmmm what kind of misconception does he have about himself? Not to mention that our Emperor's strength far surpasses his, just looking at character, I think our Emperor who is devoted to and dotes on the Empress (although sometimes he seems a bit silly) is a hundred times better than that playboy! I still remember when His Majesty first ascended the throne, those few years were the most chaotic time for the Empire. It was His Majesty who endured for several years at the border and led the army to end the war to defend the country, pulling the Empire out of the quagmire of war. To put it very childishly, His Majesty has always been a great hero in my heart. As brothers born of the same mother, I really don't know how the Second Prince grew up to be like this!

[This Person is Really Good]: Agreeing with the post above. Actually, I always felt that the Second Prince is simply an embarrassment to us alphas. To be honest, if he didn't have the identity of a prince, how many people would pay attention to him? In fact, among us alphas, there aren't many scumbags like him and Viscount Ailian. More are like His Majesty who listens to his wife. I hope everyone won't have any misunderstandings about the entire alpha group because of these two people, thanks.

[Falling Leaves]: There shouldn't be any Omegas shouting to have Aaron's child now, right? To be honest, when his brain-dead fans were barking and biting like a bunch of dogs on the Empire's mecha forum, I felt that this person must have a problem. What normal person would raise a group of such fans? Either the fans follow the idol or it's deliberately induced.

[Oh Dear]: Viscount Ailian quietly breathes a sigh of relief: Kneeling thanks to Prince Aaron for the rescue.

Just as the public imagined, the verdict on the case of Second Prince Aaron's treason was quickly announced on the evening of the same day, along with the details. The evidence was conclusive, each one harder than a hammer, leaving no room for whitewashing.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, Aaron was not sentenced to death, but to life imprisonment.

It should be known that the two princes in the history of the Empire who committed treason were both sentenced to death. So before the verdict was announced, most people speculated that Aaron would eventually be sentenced to death, with only a small number of people thinking that Aaron might be spared from death.

For members of the Imperial Family who enjoy the Empire's top resources and countless privileges, treason is a crime that will never be forgiven. Committing this crime as a prince is even more infuriating than ordinary citizens committing treason.

Perhaps, His Majesty the Emperor still had a soft heart. Just as some people on the light net speculated, after all, Aaron was his only blood relative left in this world. No matter what, when it came down to it, he couldn't help but be a little reluctant.

However, the truth of the matter had nothing to do with the public's speculation. In fact, His Majesty the Emperor was not such a sentimental person. After learning that Aaron had betrayed this country, he had long since developed a disgust for him and didn't really care whether he lived or died. It was only at the strong request of their family's Omega that he spared Aaron's life.

Although unexpectedly not sentenced to death, Aaron did not feel much luck, because he clearly understood that as an alpha, life in prison might be even more painful than death. After all, death is only a moment of pain, while waiting for him in prison is the pain brought by the heat that will accompany him for life and cannot be relieved.

However, the heat is not the only source of pain. For a proud person like Aaron, the life in prison without privacy and dignity makes him feel humiliated at all times.

Because of his heinous crimes and special identity, he was locked up in the Empire's most strictly guarded A01 prison. Those who could be locked up here were basically all serious offenders. Each prisoner had a separate room and was closely monitored 24 hours a day by specially assigned personnel. They had no freedom and basically no chance to communicate with others.

After all, humans are social creatures. Every criminal locked up here would inevitably experience mental anxiety due to loneliness soon after arriving.

In addition to having a miniature psychic suppressor forcibly implanted in his body, his once-proud SS-level psychic power had become completely useless. He was impatiently ordered around by prison guards whose psychic strength didn't even reach A-level, and he had no dignity to speak of.

Although corporal punishment was prohibited in imperial prisons, everyone's eyes contained undisguised contempt when looking at him, and there was no shortage of sarcastic ridicule in their words, which made him feel more painful than physical punishment.

But he couldn't get angry or roar at those prison guards with low power, because he knew that once he showed emotional agitation, he would be immediately pressed down, forcibly injected with tranquilizers, and then thrown into a small room and locked up for a whole day.

There, even the only guard he could communicate with disappeared, and what awaited him would be a completely closed world. Aaron was locked up twice and became completely obedient.

After only a short week of prison life, Aaron's mental state visibly worsened. Although he had lived a stifling life in the past three years, he had always maintained the pride of a prince. But now, the last bit of pride in his eyes had also been eroded, and he was gradually becoming like the other prisoners in this prison, painful and numb.

Rather than letting Aaron die so quickly, wouldn't it be more satisfying to let him live humiliatingly and painfully in prison for the rest of his life?

Aaron was still very young. In this world where the average life expectancy reached 230 years old, there was still an extremely long and painful time waiting for him.

After browsing through some information about Aaron's situation in prison sent by his subordinate ministers, He Yan calmly thought.

There weren't many affairs today. After having lunch with his Omega, His Majesty the Emperor felt a little sleepy. Their Omega was in high spirits and sat on the sofa with great interest, paying attention to Aaron's situation in prison. So His Majesty the Emperor rested his head on his lap and watched for a while, then fell asleep unknowingly.

When he woke up, he found that his Omega had already changed to another activity. He was using a small account to browse the ridicule and abuse of the people towards Aaron on the light web, as well as the sympathy and distress for His Majesty the Emperor, and he would occasionally give two likes.

A week had passed, and the anger of the people had not diminished in the slightest. On any forum on the light web, more than half of the posts on the homepage were related.

His Majesty the Emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at his Empress who was concentrating on browsing the light web and had not noticed that he had woken up. One hand silently touched He Yan's slender waist, and his face also buried in his abdomen, kissing the soft waist and abdomen through his clothes.

He Yan felt a little ticklish from the kisses, patted His Majesty the Emperor's head, and stroked his soft golden hair twice in passing. "Awake?"

His Majesty the Emperor did not answer, but answered the question with actual actions and continued to kiss. After kissing for a while, he even stuck out his tongue and licked. Although it was blocked by clothes, that thin layer of fabric couldn't actually block much. What was even more outrageous was that after licking a few times, His Majesty the Emperor even took advantage of the situation and gently bit He Yan's soft belly flesh through his clothes.

He Yan shuddered from the bite and pushed away that mischievous head helplessly with a "tsk". "Why are you so naughty today?"

After being pushed away, His Majesty the Emperor sat up and wrapped his arms around his Empress's shoulders, hugging him and rubbing against him, then kissed his ear and said in a low voice, "It's nothing."

Something wasn't quite right.

His Majesty the Emperor was unusually clingy today.

Well, in fact, this week, their Emperor had been showing a bit too much lack of a sense of security.

He Yan patted His Majesty the Emperor's back reassuringly a couple of times. "If you're unhappy, go out and play for a few days. There haven't been many things recently, and we haven't gone out to play since our last honeymoon trip."

Actually, although this person said he didn't care, when the result really came out, he still couldn't help feeling a little sad.

His Majesty the Emperor immediately perked up and said expectantly, "No need to go out, we can play at home and be very happy too." As he spoke, his hand slid to his Omega's buttocks, slapped it with a "pop", and squeezed it with lingering interest.

He Yan: "............"

As a kind partner, He Yan calmly chose to forgive their idiot.

Author's Note: Stuck to the point of ascension, this world is finally over. There should be an extra story about His Majesty being silly, and an extra story about little buns (there may also be two, I haven't decided how long to write yet).
