"Don't be nervous. I know that you were appointed as envoys to monitor me. I will tolerate your king's attitude." With the tone of cold, William's face showed a look of indifference. His eyes were icy.
William's eyes were fixed on the three envoys, treating them as if they were pawns that could be destroyed. But he didn't care about it.
With a sigh, William's expression showed a small smile. Waving his hand in front of him, he allowed the soldiers to keep the gifts, which contained the chest of gold and several other technique scrolls.
"Keep it all in the warehouse. I'll take care of it after all this is over."
The soldiers understood. Bowing their bodies, their figures walked away from the main room of the palace.
The three envoys couldn't hold back their nervous faces. Their faces couldn't get rid of their worried expressions, hoping that what they were thinking was wrong.
The three envoys realized King William had become a different man, different from the last time they saw him. Remembering how his nature was very arrogant, surrender came to their minds.
But the man they previously saw had changed, which revealed how he had completely become a calm king. His face ignored the three of them.
The red-haired man looked into William's eyes. A slight feeling of fear rising in his heart. He now clenched his teeth.
With a sigh, the red-haired man showed his respect. He has now chosen to suppress his anger.
The red-haired man thought William was a king. Therefore, it was not strange that he had to be polite in front of him.
Deep inside, the red-haired man was very angry, thinking that William was far inferior to him. Hoping that his king can immediately seize power from the Lionheart Kingdom.
'Humph! How arrogant of you! You're just a trash king! Do you think you can maintain your power? You're simply not worthy!' The face of the red-haired man darkened. A small but scary smile appeared on his face. It did not reveal its expression before the people around it.
But William is an exception. He had been keeping an eye on the three envoys from the start, realizing that the red-haired man was the only man who hated him.
A cold smile appeared on William's face. Some strange feelings struck Anna's heart, realizing that William was planning an evil plan.
'This is bad... that expression is the first time I've seen it. Could it be that he wants to plan something? I must give a message to my father about this matter.' Anna closed her eyes. Ignoring William's words, she began to immerse herself.
Diana's eyes revealed a curious expression. Seeing that the aura on Anna's body had become strange, she realized that she had started sending transmissions to the outside of the red-haired man's guard.
A slightly evil expression appeared on Diana's face. Taking a deep breath, she now began to focus her strength on disrupting Anna's plans.
Anna frowned. But she didn't care. She returned to transmitting.
A slightly ugly expression appeared on her face. Her eyes showed her killing intent. By gritting her teeth, all the pressure of Diana's attack was crushed.
Diana shook her head. Realizing that an amulet was seen in Anna's hand, it showed a bracelet in the shape of beads.
Not paying attention to the chaos around him, William continued his last sentence. Standing up from his spot, he let the entire palace focus on him.
A slight sigh came from his mouth. His face now showed a calm expression. By acting in front of the three envoys, he could completely gain the trust of any of the three.
"Therefore, three esteemed envoys, I hope that you can help the Lionheart Kingdom absorb every prayer from the citizens. I have decided to increase the maintenance of the Lionheart Kingdom."
With the three envoys showing their helpless expressions. Bowing their bodies again before William, they agreed to his request.
The three envoys walked away from the palace room. One of them showed a scared face, looking as if he had experienced a terrible terror.
The envoy was a messenger from the nearby kingdom of the Lionheart Kingdom. He and the red-haired man's kingdom were not far away, only a few thousand meters apart.
The envoy didn't care about the red-haired man's problem. He was now deep in thought, remembering how the king of the Lionheart Kingdom had focused his territory on absorbing every prayer from its citizens.
A nervous and worried expression appeared on his face, hoping that what he was thinking was wrong. He ignored the expressions of the two men.
"I'll go now. See you later. I wish you all the best. Especially you." The envoy's eyes fell on the red-haired man. His gaze conveyed a strange meaning, as if he wanted to convey a dangerous sign.
The envoy sighed. By walking away together with his partner, he had passed away in the Lionheart Kingdom.
The other envoy is the same. Taking his two guards by his side, he led the horse in front of him towards the outside of the royal walls.
After the two envoys left, the face of the red-haired man darkened. Remembering that the two envoys had fully accepted William's request.
"This cannot be allowed. King Aron must hear this news. If I don't tell him as soon as possible, I'm afraid the Blanc Kingdom will be destroyed." The red-haired man sighed. His gaze was fixed on one of his two guards, his expression showing his ugly face.
Walk closer to his guard. He saw that him expression was bad, and a hint of pain appeared on his face.
Both of the man's ears were bleeding, indicating that his eardrums had been destroyed by a mysterious force.
The red-haired man's expression became extremely wary. His heart showed his fear. Without further ado, the red-haired man began to lead his two guards away from the Lionheart Kingdom.
Inside the royal palace, a small but cold laugh came from William's mouth. With a snap of his finger, the figure of a man in his 40s appeared before him.
"Commander Leo, I'm sure you understand what must be done. Kill the envoy from the Blanc Kingdom. Don't let him convey the message to his king." William's voice echoed throughout the palace. But the nobles didn't care; their expressions were cold.
The nobles kept their expressions quiet, realizing that their king wanted them to keep their mouths shut. All plans have fallen into his hands.
In the hearts of the nobles, they couldn't help but be amazed. Not realizing that their king had always been so domineering.
Commander Leo nodded. Placing his hands on his chest, he walked away from the palace room.
Commander Leo had prepared to bring hundreds of soldiers with him, intending to kill the red-haired man. Know that his strength is not low.
Turning to one of his wives, William's gaze fell on Anna. A slightly threatening expression appeared on his face.
William's smile revealed his evil face. Letting everyone present know that their king was threatening one of his concubines.
Diana turned to Anna. Her face became very dark, looking as if she had lost her confidence.
Anna's legs showed her trembling body. Bending her body on the floor, she began to beg William.
"Your Majesty, I beg you not to kill that envoy. He is also my father's envoy!"
