Several veins were visible on Hela's head, indicating that she had completely failed her plan. Her expression was cold and scary.
Her eyes showed a sharp gaze, looking as if she wanted to carry out her attack on the black-haired woman. But she restrained herself.
Hela took a breath. Every breath she took revealed her deep voice, proving that she had completely reached a dead end.
A slight feeling of comfort swept through her heart. She remembered that she and the black-haired woman had the same goal. She felt a hint of respect for her.
"Anna, I didn't expect that you also failed with your plan. Don't think that you can play with my heart with that question." Hela chuckled. Her laugh was cold, revealing no expression of friendship.
For Hela, she considers Anna a rival who is on the same path to seize power from William. They are no different than the enemy.
Hela was silent, her expression unchanged. She ignored Anna's stare, thinking that it wasn't a big deal.
A slight sigh came from her mouth. Her eyes became calm, and her face seemed not to reveal her strange expression.
Nodding slowly, Hela decided to agree with Anna's words. Confess that what she said is true.
"That's right. You and I also failed in obtaining the throne of the Lionheart Kingdom. Therefore, I will have to carry out this second plan sooner or later."
Anna smiled. Her face showed a look of anticipation, looking as if she realized what Hela's plan was.
"So we have the same goal? That's right. We'll kill King William together. How about it? Do we have to work together?" Anna stretched out her hand to Hela, hoping she would accept her invitation. But Hela didn't care.
Hela's expression was indifferent, seeming to regard Anna as a useless woman. She realized that she could not be trusted.
Hela turned the greeting away from Anna, ignoring her dark expression. With that, she walked out of the hallway.
Anna didn't reveal her expression. She now ignored Hela's actions. On the contrary, she knew that Hela had prepared her plan very carefully.
'I have to get ready immediately. Father is petty. I'm sure he will attack the Lionheart Kingdom sooner or later. When that time came, King William couldn't help but step down from his throne and give it to the father.' Anna shook her head. Showing her expressionless face, she walked away from that place.
From outside the palace, William now came to visit the main church. He now turned to the Archbishop.
William's eyebrows furrowed, seeing that the Archbishop had prepared all the grain to be distributed later in the day. But his expression was very dark.
William did not reveal his strange face. Walking closer to the Archbishop, he began to ask about the problem.
"Your Grace, what happened? Did you have any other problems?"
Hearing the voice of a very familiar man, the Archbishop's expression couldn't help but become happy. He now gave him the paper containing all the bills.
"Your Majesty! I beg you to handle this financing problem! I advise Your Majesty to manage the kingdom's finances well."
Seeing the serious face of the Archbishop, William did not say a word. His eyes fell on the cost of the bill.
William's gaze became ugly, and his face showed an angry expression. Realizing that the letter containing the bill was a debt from his previous self.
A hint of sinister laughter came from his mouth, as if he was starting to lose his mind. But that didn't last long.
With a slow breath, William's expression returned to its usual state. His face revealed a serious expression.
Throwing the bill back to the Archbishop, he now showed a confident face.
"Cut more than 50% of my personal income. Be it and my nine concubines, I want you to cut it to 50% and focus it on building the infrastructure of the kingdom."
The Archbishop, who initially showed a worried face, revealed an expression of disbelief. His eyes showed a confused look.
A feeling of comfort swept through his heart, as if he thought his king had become a mature man. A slight but respectful smile appeared on his face.
"I understand. Your Majesty, I thank you for your advice. I will, as soon as possible, carry out the task given by you."
William didn't say the sentence. He ignored the Archbishop's expression. His eyes were fixed on the sky above him.
A slight strange feeling appeared on his face, remembering how he lived in his previous life. The Void Domain is the place where William was born.
Ignoring the memories in his head, he started walking away from that place. He had now completely let the Archbishop handle his duties.
Two days passed, and several envoys from neighboring kingdoms appeared and congratulated William. They were the ones who heard how King William was brought back to life.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! You have successfully risen from the dead! We congratulate you!" The three envoys bowed their bodies. Their faces showed their desire to refuse, but they remembered that it was an order from their king.
One of the messengers with red hair clenched one of his fists, his eyes fixed on the black-haired woman. Anna didn't mind it.
By blinking at the red-haired man, she let him forget his uncomfortable feelings. That gave him some relief.
The red-haired man expressed his displeasure towards William, remembering how he made changes to the residents. He remembered how he saw the scenery from outside the Lionheart Kingdom.
The red-haired man's gaze became worried, realizing that William planned to gain recognition from the residents. Realizing that it was the only support to make him king once and for all.
William's eyelids opened, and a slight oppressive feeling spread throughout the palace. With one of William's hands holding his cheek, his expression was cold.
The current William looked like he was a king, and the three envoys were no different from ordinary humans. They feel their fear.
A hint of awe emerged in their hearts, reminding them that the king before them had completely become a different person. Even the aura on his body had turned extremely terrifying.
Every pressure that came out of William's body gave a bad feeling to the people around him; even his nine wives felt terrible terror. But that doesn't give them a sense of despair.
Anna and Hela ignored William's pressure, thinking that his pressure could still be endured by them. That makes them calm.
Diana was lost in thought. Her expression was cold, her eyes focused on William, who was now sitting on his throne.
'He's very handsome! No... this is a trap. I can't afford to admire his good looks. Remember this, Diana! My goal is to snatch all the talent from that man!' Biting her lip, Diana had regained her composure. She ignored William's cold attitude.
Some of William's wives felt strange feelings. Their minds showed bad thoughts, realizing that their husband had become a different man.
The attitude William showed today was the attitude of a ruler, which was different from his previous self. Consider that he has become a mature man.
Selena couldn't help but reveal a strange expression. She remembered William's previous death. She wondered whether it was a result of him being revived or not.
