CHAPTER 788: 615 I AM ACTUALLY VERY IMPULSIVE_2

Among them, most people still had no idea what Hemulinp had done or why Reiger came to pay him a visit.

In such a circumstance, seeing Reiger speak so bluntly and rudely, not to mention others, even Flon Bolei and Felas Yakermis cast meaningful glances at Reiger.

The smile on Hemulinp’s face also disappeared.

He had not expected Reiger to show him such disrespect in this setting.

But he was not angry.

It wasn’t that he didn’t dare to; it was that he had passed the age of impulsive anger and would not easily lose his composure in front of others.

Thus, after a moment of silence, Hemulinp continued with a smile.

"No, quite the contrary," Hemulinp said calmly, smiling all the while, "It’s precisely because I wanted to have a serious conversation with you that I’ve arranged this display."

What he meant was, without doing so, you might not realize how serious I am, nor would you give me the chance to express my thoughts.

Naturally, Hemulinp did not want to conflict with Reiger, but he could not guarantee that Reiger wouldn’t provoke a conflict with him.

In light of this, Hemulinp presented this display, not for any other reason but to make Reiger wary, to ensure he could control himself, and not act impulsively after hearing what Hemulinp was about to say.

Unfortunately...

"You don’t understand me very well, Your Majesty,"

Reiger said indifferently.

"If I truly wanted to take action, if I didn’t want to talk, then even if you put up a display ten times stronger than this, I wouldn’t be concerned."

As these words were spoken, not only did Hemulinp’s face darken, but coldness also emerged in the eyes of those around him.

Many people quietly took a step forward, and some had even laid hands on the weapons or magic wands at their waists, clearly not pleased to hear Reiger’s bold and shameless words.

"Stand down."

Seeing this scene unfold, Hemulinp immediately raised his voice in rebuke.

"Yes!"

Those who had stepped forward halted abruptly, then simultaneously retreated.

But within the royal presence, a sinister atmosphere had begun to spread, worsening the ambiance significantly from before.

"...Lord Brillhaut, you are more impulsive than I imagined," Hemulinp said gravely, "I always thought that despite your youth, you were calmer and more stable than your peers, not someone who would easily become impetuous."

Reiger’s response to Hemulinp’s words was just as forthright.

"Really?"

Reiger glanced at Hemulinp and spoke word by word.

"If I weren’t impulsive, I wouldn’t have barged into the Meipros family immediately upon entering their territory and confronted the Marquis of Meipros face to face."

"If I weren’t impulsive, I wouldn’t have taken Liz to that ancient ruin in the Neutral Zone, even though I knew full well how deeply you all dread it."

"If I weren’t impulsive, I wouldn’t have disrespected Sgranot Bayard so blatantly, even burning down his City Lord’s mansion."

"If I weren’t impulsive..."

Reiger looked at Hemulinp with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"Your third son should still be out there biting people like a mad dog, lively and jumping around to his heart’s content."

Each of these statements caused the expressions of the crowd to change repeatedly.

Even Hemulinp’s face, including the rest of him, was far from calm as before.

It was unavoidable; the information in Reiger’s words was substantial.

The fact that he barged into the Meipros family and confronted the Marquis face to face was one thing, but he had also entered the Neutral Zone, the forbidden ancient ruin, encountered the Thunder Light Sword Saint of Sinyela, and even burned down his City Lord’s mansion?

And as for his last statement, could it mean he was referring to the third Prince’s severe injury that had yet to heal?

The third Prince... was it him who attacked?

This man was admitting before the King that he had severely injured his son?

This...

The eyes of the crowd looking at Reiger were no longer just shocked but filled with perplexity and uncertainty.

Under the gaze of everyone, Reiger continued to express himself with that not-quite-smiling look.

"Actually, I am very impulsive; it’s just that most people don’t get the chance to see it."

"You, on the other hand, know very well what I am like when I get impulsive, Your Majesty, since you pay such close attention to me."

"Given that, how could you think that I am not a person prone to impulsiveness?"

... Why would you think so? Don’t you have any idea in your mind?

It’s precisely because you always appear calm and collected that you give people such a misconception.

Now that Reiger pointed it out, Hemulinp suddenly realized that although this person seemed very calm, indifferent, and stable, he had actually done quite a few impulsive things.

It seems I really did set up the right stance for today.

With this thought, Hemulinp no longer maintained his smile and stared steadily at Reiger.

"Can I take it that Lord Brillhaut is provoking me, provoking the royal family, or even provoking the kingdom?"

Hemulinp spoke quietly.

Yet, Reiger did not deny it.

"It depends on what kind of explanation Your Majesty can give me," Reiger said indifferently to Hemulinp, "It’s time to return Liz to me, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, the people around furrowed their brows, and Hemulinp’s eyes narrowed.

"It seems that the affection between Lord Brillhaut and his attendant is indeed quite good," Hemulinp said expressionlessly, "It’s rare for someone to defy the king of a great country for an attendant; no wonder Lord Brillhaut says he is impulsive."

The people around finally caught on to some clues.

So, the reason why the newly-appointed Thunder Light Sword Saint is so defiant towards the king is because the king took his attendant?

Their gazes became strange.

Reiger didn’t care about them.

"If I hadn’t heard that she was just under house arrest, I might have been more impulsive," Reiger said, looking straight at Hemulinp, "It seems Your Majesty does not intend to release her?"

"There’s a problem with your statement," Hemulinp said leisurely, "I’m simply keeping my relative by my side to accompany me for a while, what’s this about releasing or not releasing them?"

This statement confused many people again.

His own relative?

Who?

The attendant of the Thunder Light Sword Saint?

Does the king have a relative serving as an attendant to the Thunder Light Sword Saint?

What kind of development is this?

Liz, the ninth princess, has become Reiger’s attendant, which is a secret.

The princess of the royal family being sent out to serve as an attendant to someone else would certainly damage the royal family’s dignity and reputation if spread, so the fact that Reiger’s attendant is the kingdom’s ninth princess is known only to a small group of people with high status and position.

For example, Flon Bolei, he was privy to it.

And Felas Yakermis was also aware of the matter.

Apart from these few individuals, among those present, there were really not many who knew the fact that Reiger’s attendant was the current ninth princess, and they were even less aware of why Hemulinp had suddenly placed his own relative under house arrest.

As for Reiger... he still didn’t care about those things.

"I’ve already said it, let’s not bother with pointless pleasantries."

Reiger’s gaze at Hemulinp gradually grew merciless.

"Either, Your Majesty returns Liz to me and gives me an explanation,"

"Or, I’ll go get her back myself and then come to discuss an explanation with you, Your Majesty."

"Choose one, Your Majesty."

This was an ultimatum.

An ultimatum to the king of a great kingdom on the continent of Akashia.

Understanding the implication, many looked at Reiger with anger, icy coldness, and sharpness in their eyes.

Emotions of annoyance finally surfaced in Hemulinp’s eyes, and his face became terribly gloomy.

"I believe I have treated you with enough respect, Reiger Brillhaut,"

Hemulinp said, pronouncing every word.

To this, Reiger had only one thing to say.

"You wouldn’t still think that your fancy and purposeful hospitality is of any use to me, would you?"

With that statement, it wasn’t just about losing face anymore, it was like tearing off even a fig leaf.

Hemulinp suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"Since that’s the case, let me be frank,"

"Indeed, I have kept the person,"

"But whether you can have her back depends on whether you truly qualify to be that impulsive."
