Chapter 8 - Providence

"What can you give for that? Why would I stop this attack just for a woman like you?You're not even worthy of being compared to your hometown." An indifferent smile appeared on William's face. He now gave a feeling of fear to his eight concubines.

William's eight concubines did not dare to look at him. Their eyes were focused on the side below them, as if they didn't want to disturb him.

Even if the Lionheart Kingdom had fallen into a weak kingdom, the fact that it was one of the seven great kingdoms could not be ignored. They have a long history from a long time ago.

It didn't matter who the current king of the Lionheart Kingdom was. Even if they became weak, some treasures were still stored within that place.

After William became the king of the Lionheart Kingdom, other kingdoms began to infiltrate it. Instead of getting valuable treasures. Instead, they got backlash from a restriction.

Luckily, the restrictions protecting the entire legacy of the Lionheart Kingdom could not be penetrated by those kingdoms. If not for that restriction, it would be impossible for the Lionheart Kingdom to survive the attacks of the entire kingdom.

Willian noticed. Therefore, he can boldly behave as he wishes. Spreading fear towards the three nearby kingdoms was a good choice.

With William succeeding in putting fear into the three kingdoms, they may join him in the future, which could increase the fortunes of the Lionheart Kingdom.

Each kingdom and each region possessed its providence. It was a time when a kingdom could raise the limits of power over its citizens and allow them to reach greater heights.

As someone who transmigrated from another world, William realized that the providence of collecting the prayers of living beings was a safe choice. The only thing that worried him was attacks from powerful enemies.

The providence that has been collected from a kingdom can be seized. By destroying the kingdom and its kings, all providence automatically became the property of the victorious cause.

Among the three kingdoms close to the Lionheart Kingdom, the Blanc Kingdom was the only kingdom with high providence. That can make it instantly escalate up to one or two major layers.

Sighing softly, William's expression returned to calm. His gaze returned to his calm face.

"It's good if you realize your situation. I hope you can forget about your intentions. With you being one of the concubines of this king, I swear not to let you down." With those words, he walked away from the main room of the palace. His face showed a tired look.

It's not clear how long he spent dealing with royal matters, but it certainly made William tired. He was fully prepared to return to his room.

The gazes of the eight concubines showed their pity, considering that Anna's life had completely ended. Realizing that she had completely turned into utter despair.

With every moment that passes. On the border of the Lionheart Kingdom, the figure of a man with a sturdy body was seen carrying a man's head in his hands. It was the head of the red-haired man.

The two corpses of the red-haired man's companions were burned. With traces of the two people gone, the enemy was automatically unable to figure out what had happened.

Commander Leo revealed an amazed expression. He realized that his king's plan was going smoothly, considering how he had carried out his battle with the red-haired man.

By clenching his fist, a slight purplish aura appeared on one of his palms, showing that it was a power gift from William.

Commander Leo's face turned extremely excited, realizing that his current king had become a mysterious person. He can even give him an amazing skill!

Commander Leo's right-hand man walked closer to him. Showing his respect for him, he now started giving his comments to him.

"Sir Leo, are you serious that this won't attract trouble from both kingdoms? We have dared to kill one of their prized experts. I'm afraid that would..." Just as the man was able to continue his sentence, a cold snort came from Commander Leo. His face became very cold.

A confident expression could be seen on his face, as if he realized that it was impossible for his king not to be aware of the worst situation.

By shaking his head in front of his subordinate, he slightly showed his arrogant face. His eyes became very serious.

"Zack, I hope you don't underestimate the current king. Although he made mistakes before, that is in the past. Our current king is very clever and cunning. By taking advantage of the death of the other party's troops, it will make the relationship between the four kingdoms worse."

Zack, who previously showed a look of disdain, couldn't hold back his surprised face. His expression showed disbelief.

In the eyes of the soldiers, they considered their current king to be very stupid. But he didn't expect his commander to praise the useless king so highly.

"Is that really His Majesty's plan? If so, I think the current Majesty has changed. I'm afraid that sooner or later the reputation of the Lionheart Kingdom will climb again like it did in the past."

Commander Leo didn't care. He knew the Lionheart Kingdom couldn't fall again so deeply. With the new reign of their king, the Lionheart Kingdom would sooner or later be able to repair its reputation.

With a wave of his hand to Zack, he let him back into his care. Realizing that the evening has passed.

Looking to the side above him, he felt several fluctuations of holy energy surrounding the area. As if collecting every prayer from the residents around him.

Commander Leo remembered how his king gave orders to the main church to preach to the residents outside the walls. By collecting prayers from every resident, the Lionheart Kingdom's fighting strength may increase.

Sighing softly, Commander Leo's thoughts and expression became extremely calm. He now understood what William's plan was.

Commander Leo thought nothing of it. He believed that his king's choice was the right one, which could help them reach the pinnacle of a powerful life.

Closing his eyes, Commander Leo had completely fallen into his meditation. He now focused his powers on healing his wounds.

Part of Commander Leo's body was covered in fresh wounds, which showed slashes from the red-haired man's attack. But it can be cured as soon as possible.

As time began to pass, the people from the Blanc Kingdom's side of the palace became very nervous. The king's face showed helplessness.

The King of the Blanc Kingdom now carries a crystal in his hand. Straining his power slightly, he saw some disturbances occurring within the crystal.

His expression turned pale, and some bad thoughts appeared in his head. Assuming that the three neighboring kingdoms had planned hostility against him.

"I can't even contact my daughter! This is really useless... What's going on?" Gritting his teeth, the king's gaze fell on one of his soldiers. He is the commander of the entire Blanc Kingdom army.

The commander lowered his body in front of the king, his face showing an expression of fear. He realized that some problems were starting to occur.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? What orders will you give next?"

Waking up from his thoughts, the king's mouth revealed a heavy sigh. His face had a calm expression.

"Prepare all our troops to start a counterattack. And also, send every spy to infiltrate the three kingdoms. I have a bad feeling."

The commander understood. By walking away from the palace room, he now prepared everything to start his king's plan.

The king couldn't calm his bad feelings. Remembering how his daughter told him about the situation in the Lionheart Kingdom, he realized that King William had completely changed.

Wrinkles appeared on his face. A menacing killing intent spread around him, looking as if it could destroy every building in the palace.

"King William... you really want to play with fire with me. Even if you cooperate with those two weak kingdoms, do you think you can defeat me? That's certainly impossible!"
