Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 10

If he was capable of truly saving the Queen, he was an enemy.

Perhaps reacting to their hostile aura, an overwhelming presence erupted into the hall through the doors.

The audience froze and the Queen watched with interest as a dark-haired youth entered.

At a glance, he looked weak, not even able to control the Divine Energy leaking from his body.

However, they could feel the heavy aura of death on him.

The guards reacted.

"Who are you!? Apprehend him!"

They swiftly encircled Neo and pointed their weapons at him.

His aura made him look like a monster ready to pounce on them.

They mistook him for an intruder.

"Let him be," the Queen spoke.

The ministers wanted to advice the Queen against letting such a dangerous person free.

However, they noticed something wrong about her expression.

She was…

Smiling.

Her lips, soft and succulent, were stretched into a small, irresistible smile.

A chill went down everyone's back.

"It's the sign of the slaughter's arrival…"

Someone muttered.

The Queen maintained her gaze on Neo.

Her eyes were glowing and, hovering before Neo, she could see something no one could.

[Name: Neo Hargraves]

[Rank: Grade 5 Awakened]

[Bloodline: Monarch of Death]

The audience hall was enveloped in blanket of silence.

It was broken by Neo who was in a daze.

"You…"

He stared at the thick aura of Death covering the Queen.

His strong Death Affinity allowed him to roughly guess the time of arrival of other's death.

Death had touched her already.

She was resisting its call through her overwhelming might.

But…

"You will die in 3 days."

Neo's words brought a catastrophic change to the mood in the audience hall.

Some were sceptical of his words.

A few looked distraught.

Most of them were happy.

Amelia grabbed his wrist.

"W-what? How can you be so sure? We have the Divine Water pond—"

"The Divine Water won't help. You can use it to concoct potions and elixirs but it's already too late for her."

She would die.

Just like how she died in the novel.

The Tyrant Queen maintained a calm expression despite the news.

Looking at her, no one could guess she was at death's door.

"Today's audience is adjourned," the Queen spoke.

Her smile snapped the people out of their stupor.

Thinking carefully, how could an Awakened Demigod like Neo guess the time of the Tyrant Queen's death.

However, it was weird. The Queen was not killing him after his discourteous words.

They suddenly had a terrible thought.

Was this the Queen's plan, to see who supported her death, and she planned to kill those who she deemed guilty?

While the ministers were dragging their feet out of the hall, the Queen told Clara,

"Bring him to my office."

She stood up and left.

Neo turned to Amelia and saw her staring at the floor with a blank gaze and clenched fists.

"Please follow me," Clara spoke.
