Chapter 12 - Scarlett

Feeling William's terrifying power, Commander Leo's expression became serious. Jumping backwards slightly, he decided to draw his sword out of its sheath.

Looking at William's figure, a feeling of awe struck his heart. A wide smile appeared on his face.

'What I thought was right! The King is really hiding the secret of his power! This pressure was a sword intent. It really makes me very nervous.' Swallowing his saliva, Commander Leo's stance turned very serious. With one of his hands facing his sword to the side above him, the pressure of a strong swordsman was visible on his body.

His gaze incessantly stared at William, who now showed an expression of indifference. After a few breaths, the clash of swords could be heard from inside the palace.

Cracking sounds could be heard around the walls of the palace, causing the nobles' expressions to become panicked. Luckily, the guards, without thinking, decided to withstand the pressure from the impact of William and Commander Leo's attacks.

For some reason, the figures of William and Commander Leo did not move from their spots. Confusion was visible on the faces of the people in the room.

"Eh? What happened? Who won? Why aren't His Majesty and the commander making a move?" The nobles became curious. Focusing their gazes on William, they thought that he couldn't win against Commander Leo.

Suddenly, what they thought was wrong. Commander Leo's body, which previously stood upright, fell from its place. A small laugh escaped his mouth.

"As expected of His Majesty. You are so powerful..." With that last sentence, Commander Leo's consciousness disappeared. Looking at Commander Leo's right-hand man, William's hand was waving at him.

Commander Leo's right-hand man understood. Without saying a word, he decided to take Commander Leo away from that place.

After Commander Leo and his right-hand man left, cheers could be heard from inside the palace. The admiration of the nobles towards William increased by several percent.

The nobles originally thought William was someone who could only command the kingdom, but they didn't expect him to be able to easily defeat Commander Leo. Thinking of Commander Leo's overwhelming strength, the bodies of the nobles subconsciously trembled with fear.

As nobles of the Lionheart Kingdom, they knew Commander Leo's every accomplishment. To be able to rise as a commander to this point, Commander Leo's strength could be said to be slightly above the Freedom Circle stage in general.

Walking back to the side of the throne, the entire room fell into silence again. William's gaze fell on Scarlett. His expression was a little strange.

Not understanding how to tell her, William's instincts towards the red-haired woman felt very dangerous. Every time he saw her, William felt a strong sword intent from within her.

For some reason, Scarlett's expression showed a hint of respect. A small grin appeared on her beautiful lips.

Her beautiful smile made William feel uncomfortable. Averting his gaze from Scarlett, he decided to throw the sword in his hand back to her.

Not minding William's actions, Scarlett easily took the sword back with her. Suddenly, a hint of admiration struck her heart.

'What a powerful energy. I didn't expect that the King, who had just risen in a few days, could increase his strength to this extent. No matter who you are, I will see your actions in the future.' An expressionless face appeared on Scarlett's face. Turning her gaze away from William, she chose to return to her calm expression.

Deep inside Scarlett, she thought William was different from his previously self. A slight suspicion that William's soul had changed ownership emerged in her mind.

Luckily, Scarlett threw away that stupid thought. Ignoring what was happening, she decided to avert her gaze from the women by her side.

Diana's expression became strange. Even though she was strong, she couldn't really feel Scarlett's presence.

Her previously calm gaze turned fearful. For some reason, Diana remembered how Scarlett had received a throw from William before. Realizing that her strength is unpredictable.

A slight suspicion arose in Diana's heart. Deciding to be wary of Scarlett, she had now completely considered her a dangerous woman.

"What is the situation of the two kingdoms?Have they decided to cooperate with us?" Focusing his gaze on Alexios, an indifferent look appeared on William's face. Ignoring the concerns of his wives, he decided to focus his questions on the situation outside the Lionheart Kingdom's territory.

Pondering for some time, Alexios decided to share the information he had gotten the night before. He said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The two kingdoms have already given their answer. And they are very wise in thinking about the consequences. Moreover, they really don't like the ruler of the Blanc Kingdom. They accepted the proposal to attack the Blanc Kingdom together."

A small nod appeared on William's face. His previously expressionless face turned into an evil smile. His gaze was slightly focused on Anna.

His gaze narrowed slightly, as if he wanted to see Anna's expression. Anna's face did not change. Instead, she had completely handed over matters of the Blanc Kingdom to William.

After that long night, Anna's heart completely belonged to William. Her thoughts that previously worried about the Blanc Kingdom had completely submitted to William.

The gazes of the concubines became strange. Even though they were confused, they decided to ignore Anna's cold reaction.

But Elena's expression flushed slightly. Remembering how Anna and William had sex the night before, her heartbeat became very fast.

Shaking her head, Elena decided to ignore her perverted thoughts. With a sigh, her expression changed to that of the women around her.

Daydreaming appeared on Diana's face. As if realizing what had happened, a memory of wanting to meet Anna the night before appeared in her mind.

Diana's previous plan was to meet Anna. But unfortunately, Diana did not see Anna's presence in her room.

After seeing that Anna was not present in her room, several suspicious thoughts appeared in Diana's head. She initially assumed that Anna wanted to escape from the Lionheart Kingdom.

But what she thought was wrong. On the contrary, after seeing Anna, who was in the same row as her, she thought that she had completely submitted to William.

Diana's suspicions about William became very clear. Remembering that Anna is a stubborn woman. William couldn't conquer her.

For some reason, her sense of Anna and William's situation was destroyed. With one little possibility in mind, Anna had now completely given up on the Blanc Kingdom.

An ugly expression appeared on Diana's face. Ignoring those useless thoughts, she decided to look further into Anna and William's situation.

William's development of his powers is also very unreasonable. Diana's instinct towards William's power made her unable to calm her mind. Recalling how he exerted his pressure earlier, realizing that it had far surpassed the average Yellow Circle stage.

Suddenly, Diana's expression became frightened. Her previously wary eyes turned to disbelief. Some bad feelings struck her heart.

'Wait! This aura... the level of the Perfection Circle stage! Since when did he reach this level? It's only been a few days since he was resurrected...' An ugly expression appeared on Diana's face. With her eyes fixed on the side below her, her fear of William became very great.

A thought that she intended to kill William appeared in her mind. If she doesn't wipe out William, Diana is afraid that she will be killed by him sooner or later.

Noticing Diana's ugly expression, a small snort came from William. After hearing the situation of the two kingdoms, William's mind calmed down.

Ignoring what was happening, William decided to continue with his next plan. To kill the King of the Blanc Kingdom, he knew that he had to prepare a backup plan.
