"Is Sister Scarlett really that strong? I've never even seen her act after she became His Majesty's concubine. I can only say that her body exudes a mysterious aura." Selena's words were calm. She hadn't really looked down on Scarlett since their meeting. In Selena's point of view, she considers Scarlett and the others to be the same.
Even though she is William's main wife, Selena is not arrogant about her position. She realized that every concubine was a terrible woman.
After becoming friends with the concubines when she first met them, Selena realized that they were not simple women. She felt a little inferior in front of one of them.
"No matter what Scarlett's identity is, we all must not act rashly. Don't you remember how His Majesty fought the commander before? He was truly very domineering!" Praise came out of Elena's mouth. Imagining how William fought against Commander Leo, she felt that the atmosphere in the palace at that time became very tense.
Luckily, William restrained himself from showing his full strength. If it weren't for William holding back his strength, Elena didn't know whether the rooms in the palace could withstand the pressure of their fight or not.
"... are you serious? Let's not talk about him anymore. I'd rather not think too much about it. You all also know that His Majesty's change was also caused by his awakening."
No sound was heard after Hela said those words. Sighs escaped the mouths of the concubines. Instead of continuing to discuss William's greatness, the concubines decided to change the topic.
A week passed quickly after the Lionheart Kingdom attacked one of the main troops of the Blanc Kingdom, and the figure of King Blanc walked onto the throne. Sitting in his place, a cold expression appeared on his face.
"Have you heard? Those two kingdoms don't want to cooperate with us either! They even deny that King William was the one who killed Ares! We have to avenge him."
Silence fell throughout the palace room. The expressions of the nobles and ministers showed their helplessness. After Ares' death, the nobles and ministers felt a heavy burden on their shoulders.
Their fear of their king could not be removed from their minds. As followers of King Blanc, the nobles and ministers had completely become his lapdogs.
Suddenly, a cold laugh came from King Blanc's mouth. His previously emotionless eyes regained their color. Gritting his teeth, King Blanc now stood up again from his throne.
"Therefore, I will declare war on each of these three kingdoms. I don't care even if it costs me any maintenance of our troops. I want them all destroyed!"
Bad faces could be seen from the expressions of the people in the palace room. There was no objection from either side. Instead, they now completely submitted to the orders of their king.
"Understood."
The mind of the current King Blanc had become confused. Remembering that his daughter had completely betrayed him made King Blanc's heart ache. As a father, King Blanc did not expect that his guidance towards his daughter when she was still small would be meaningless.
With every step from King Blanc, the atmosphere in the palace turned very tense. Luckily, the pressure disappeared as soon as King Blanc walked away from the room.
After walking out of the palace room, King Blanc's expression showed an ugly face. His previously worried premonition turned into extreme fear.
Looking at the window from the night sky near the corridor, King Blanc's gaze showed a serious face. The figure of an adult woman with black hair tied in a bun was seen walking closer to his side.
"My darling, are you still thinking about Anna? Since she dared to betray you, I won't hesitate to throw her away." The woman's voice was very calming. Her tone was different from Anna's. King Blanc felt a sense of comfort.
Turning to the woman, King Blanc's gaze turned gentle. Ignoring his fear, he decided to take his wife into his arms.
"Don't worry. I won't kill our only daughter. I'll discipline her after I bring her back from that kingdom."
Listening to her husband's words, the woman's expression returned to her calm face. Taking a deep breath, the woman chose to hug her husband's wrist.
"Stella, you..."
"Sssh~ tonight we'll play to celebrate your upcoming victory. When the time comes, we'll teach a lesson to the man who stole our daughter."
A small smile appeared on King Blanc's lips. Regardless of what happened, King Blanc and his wife now walked away from that place.
As the morning passed, William's eyelids opened slightly. A small smile could be seen on his face.
Raising his head, the aura from William's body seemed to exude a strong power. Every time William took a breath, a strange pressure came out of his body.
"Even though it is difficult to break through, it only takes one more step to advance from the Perfection stage to the Freedom stage." Clenching one of his hands into a fist, a happy smile appeared on William's face. After finishing stretching his body, William now walked out of his room.
When William reached the courtyard of the castle, his eyes fell on the figure of a red-haired woman, Scarlett. She is currently sitting at a table, drinking tea in her hand.
An umbrella covering the sunlight was visible above Scarlett's place. Her beautiful and graceful face gave William a strange feeling. Walking closer to Scarlett, William gave her a slight nod.
When William wanted to leave that place, Scarlett's voice reached William's ears. A small smile appeared on her lips.
"Your Majesty~ do you want to talk to me alone? I also want to discuss the problems that will befall this kingdom."
A feeling of doubt emerged in William's heart. Intending to reject Scarlett's offer, William's body seemed unable to control him.
A look of fear appeared on William's face. Regardless of Scarlett's intentions, he decided to sit opposite her.
"Ms. Scarlett? I was completely helpless when I met you. Who exactly are you?"
Scarlett's expression did not change. Her indifferent expression was visible on her face. Her hand, which previously held the cup, was now returned to its place.
"The Blanc Kingdom will attack the Lionheart Kingdom all out. Is Your Majesty confident in winning this battle?"
William's expression did not change. Instead, his two sharp eyes were relentlessly focused on Scarlett. Some suspicion struck William's heart.
"Ms. Scarlett, from your words... Do you know all the events of every kingdom? Just tell me what you want."
Ignoring William's question, Scarlett's current pose was no different from that of a powerful woman. A look that could humble any creature appeared in Scarlett's eyes.
Although William felt uncomfortable, he couldn't really antagonize Scarlett. From William's point of view, he felt that Scarlett's strength was far above the Freedom Circle stage.
By imagining how Scarlett's strength was much stronger than the experts above the Freedom Circle stage, William's body felt afraid. Shock could be seen on one of William's hands.
Luckily, William's expression did not change. Seeing Scarlett's expression, William realized that Scarlett didn't really want to cause trouble with him.
"Ha ha... Your Majesty is really smart. Both you and your father are really similar. I really miss the time when I trained your father in the past."
"Eh? Is Ms. Scarlett my father's teacher? So... Ms. Scarlet's age..." Unfortunately, when William could continue his sentence, Scarlett's gaze showed a threatening look. Covering his mouth, William decided to divert the conversation.
A small laugh came out of William's mouth. Not wanting to meet Scarlett's eyes, William decided to turn to the side near the cup on the table.
Seeing William's nervous expression, a sigh escaped Scarlett's mouth. With a wave of her hand to the side, all the pressure from that place disappeared, and it returned to its normal state.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kept my identity as Your Majesty's father's teacher a secret. I hope you can forgive the presumptuous attitude I showed earlier."
A sigh escaped William's mouth. Imagining how pressured Scarlett had been before, William's body regained its fear.
A small smile appeared on William's face. Ignoring Scarlett's previous secret, William decided to once again show his respect for her.
"Ms. Scarlett... no, I will call you grandmaster! You are my father's teacher. Therefore, I must respect you like family."
A cough came out of Scarlett's mouth. Not understanding how to tell him, a small sigh escaped her mouth.
"Cough. Your Majesty, I beg you not to act like that. Even though I am Your Majesty's father's teacher, I am also one of your wives."
