CHAPTER 462: CHAPTER 197: LET YOU ASCEND THE THRONE

Morning.

The sun is already hanging over the rainy days, and warm sunlight shines down.

The castle in Rubek.

Lawrence, who has just rested for one night, has to conduct a simple conference talk with Alicia and Kana.

This time, the place where the three are talking has no other strangers, all are trusted individuals.

However, the only ones Lawrence trusts are a Guard Captain behind him and the steward he brought.

At this moment, he looks exhausted and rubs his brow.

"Last night, you stirred up quite a commotion in the refugee camp."

He said with a bit of anger.

Looking at Kana: "I know you Night Watchers might be formidable, but this is Cohen, this is Rubek.

My purpose here is largely to maintain stability and avoid exacerbating the refugees’ conflicts."

After speaking, he felt a bit puzzled.

"Didn’t you say yesterday that we should proceed gradually? Avoid causing greater harm to the refugees.

Why were you so active last night? Did something happen after I left?"

He can’t understand how such a massive change could occur in such a short time.

"I overestimated the cultists here; they’re just Ordinary people who believe in the Evil God.

Once we confirmed the enemy’s strength, it naturally had to be a quick battle to prevent further impact."

Lawrence took a deep breath, wanting to get angry but silently exhaled.

He has to admit:

At least from yesterday’s perspective, these Night Watchers are indeed incredibly powerful.

"Alright, at least the outcome is good. The refugees didn’t riot, and the cultists were cleaned out, bringing stability to this place."

Lawrence sighed and said.

Kana looked at him.

It seems this future Holy King is still very weak now.

If it were in the storyline, the matured Holy King would have already begun to get angry.

And using the anger and unreasonable actions, he would reclaim the Active right into his hands.

Then now it’s confirmed:

It’s the right time for cooperation.

Kana suddenly asked: "Prince, I’ve heard that many in Cohen Kingdom’s nobility do not shy away from interacting with cultists?"

Can the nobility be blamed for this?

To some extent, they can’t be fully blamed.

As mentioned before:

This moment is different.

The cultists used to be mostly deceived, with only a very few truly believing in the Evil God.

But now it’s different.

Now, 99% of cultists truly believe in the Evil God.

But this issue has just appeared over the years.

Although these nobles are human, their insight and sensitivity in this regard are inferior to the longevity of the Longevity Species.

They still cling to their previous attitude and collude with these cultists, using the cultists to do some shady deeds.

Little do they know, this moment is different.

Just such simple contact will have them influenced by cultists, becoming one of them.

Until now:

The nobility of this country still does not realize the severity of the issue, even though the cultist problem is already expanding crazily.

This statement:

Immediately made Lawrence alert.

He frowned and looked at Kana.

"What are you trying to do? I roughly understand your Night Watchers’ attitude towards cultists.

But I must remind you again, this is Cohen Kingdom, not a place where you can do as you please."

Kana ignored his response.

Instead, inexplicably said:

"I believe you understand Cohen Kingdom’s problems.

The current King doesn’t have much time left, and at this moment, the royal family is at its weakest.

The princes’ struggle for the throne hasn’t been well concealed anymore."

Saying this, Kana looked at Lawrence.

Lawrence’s expression was somewhat unpleasant, but not directed at Kana, rather at the reality.

He has lost the qualification to compete for the throne by coming here.

"Although I’m not exactly a member of Cohen Kingdom, I used to be a Prince.

To some extent, I can understand your feelings, very angry, right?

Despite half the country being already fallen, refugees, Evil God, Blood Race, crises keep emerging.

This country could completely fall and be destroyed at any moment, but your brothers and sisters, and those damned nobles, are still struggling for power and wealth.

Angry, yet powerless."

Kana’s words are clearly provoking Lawrence.

Lies won’t hurt, the truth is the quick blade.

He slammed his fist on the table.

"Shut up!"

The Guard Captain behind had drawn his sword.

Correspondingly, Alyris had pointed her sword at that Guard Captain.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Alright, put down the swords."

Both sides sheathed their swords again.

Alicia and Anita sat silently beside them.

They want to see what Kana is truly trying to do.

Last night’s words and actions by the Night Watchers left a deep impression on them.

"Do you know Safro?" Kana suddenly asked softly.

Though Lawrence was very angry, after all, being a Prince, he controlled his emotions very well.

He said a bit stiffly: "That country of the Blood Race?"

Kana nodded.

"It’s said to be a group of people who actively transformed their human identity into monsters using the Stone of Creation."

Kana looked at Lawrence and Alicia, clearly indicating that the two had no understanding of the true structure within the Blood Race.
