"That's true... by the way, is Ms. Scarlett serious about becoming one of my concubines? A strong person like you shouldn't have such a lowly position."
There was no visible expression on Scarlett's face. Her calm face gave William a comfortable feeling. Although he was curious about the reason why Scarlett wanted to become one of his wives, he decided to ignore her actions.
Wrinkles appeared on Scarlett's face. Instead of answering William's question, Scarlett's thoughts were now lost in her thoughts.
Some memories of when she previously met William for the first time came back to her mind. Her previously calm expression revealed her dark face. Gritting her teeth, a hint of intense pressure erupted from her body.
Realizing Scarlett's reaction, William decided to help Scarlett regain her composure. One of William's hands touched Scarlett's hair.
"Ms. Scarlett, your expression is really very bad. Are you okay?"
Waking up from her thoughts, Scarlett's expression had now regained its calm face. Ignoring William's actions, her face now showed a cold expression.
"Kid, aren't you being too presumptuous in front of this queen? Aren't you afraid I'll beat you up?"
William's expression was calm. Instead of being afraid of Scarlett's words, William's face showed a beautiful smile.
"You hide your expression too much. Even though you are strong, you are still a woman who is weak when it comes to your personal feelings. How terrible it is to be you, Ms. Scarlett." After saying those words, William withdrew his hand from Scarlett's hair. His previously beautiful expression revealed a look of indifference.
Scarlett's expression did not change. Her sharp eyes were relentlessly focused on William. The desire to punish William struck Scarlett's mind.
Luckily, Scarlett restrained herself. Considering the status of the young man before her, she knew she should not punish the man.
A small grin appeared on Scarlett's face. A small snort came from her. With her arrogant expression, Scarlett's face now showed a serious expression.
"Your Majesty, I will help you to fight the Blanc Kingdom. If Your Majesty allows me to defeat their king..." The movement of Scarlett's mouth suddenly stopped. Confusion showed on her face. Although confused, Scarlett knew that the current William was no longer hiding his strength.
Scarlett's beautiful eyes were endlessly focused on William's figure. His current figure exuded an oppressive aura that could blow away all the leaves in the courtyard. But Scarlett didn't care too much about it.
Scarlett's gaze revealed a strange glint. Her vision, which previously looked normal, now showed sharpness. Both William's organs and body, Scarlett's gaze could easily capture every secret in his body.
"Oh? This strength is no lower than the peak of the Freedom Circle stage. Your Majesty, you really hid your strength very well."
A small laugh came out of William's mouth. Ignoring Scarlett's explanation about his powers, he now showed a face full of confidence.
William's eyes now showed his sharp eyes. Ignoring Scarlett's shocked expression, he now stood up from his chair.
"As expected of a powerful master. You're not a Formation Circle stage expert… perhaps not a Great Circle stage expert either… ha ha ha… to be able to see my strength, you should be between the sixth and seventh stages, right?"
Scarlett's mouth showed no change. Scarlett's thoughts now showed curiosity. The desire to know how William was able to guess her strength struck her mind.
"Your Majesty truly is a naughty child. You're very cunning. Even your father and mother don't have your cunning. I'm sure Your Majesty's future is long and promising." Shaking her head, Scarlett decided to ignore William's actions. She now decided to drink the tea in front of her table again.
But Scarlett's expression did not change. The desire to know who William was again struck her mind. From Scarlett's point of view, she knew William couldn't know individuals in the sixth stage and above.
Contemplating where she was, Scarlett's expression turned very gloomy. After being lost in thought, Scarlett decided to let William do what he wanted.
"I know that. Don't worry. Your Majesty, you can trust that I will not interfere in your fight. I will only look after the Lionheart Kingdom when Your Majesty is not around."
William's previously serious expression regained its calm. Nodding slowly, William now chose to say his final farewell words.
"I'm sorry. And also, I hope Ms. Scarlett can forgive me for what I did over the past 10 years. I know that I have disappointed your expectations." After William left that place, Scarlett's body did not show any movement. Instead, her eyes were relentlessly focused on the spot where William had disappeared.
A gentle expression appeared on Scarlett's face. Shaking her head, a memory of when Scarlett met William when he was young came to mind.
'It's a shame, Edmund, you can't see your son, who has become a mature man. I'm glad your son can continue to gain momentum as a king. If he still behaved like before, I wouldn't hesitate to kill him.' Scarlett's gaze returned to her murderous gaze. Remembering William's attitude before he was revived, anger surged through her heart.
Biting her lip, Scarlett's eyes were now covered by her eyelids. Luckily, William has now turned into a king who is admired by his followers.
Several days passed, and two envoys from the two kingdoms now came to meet William. They had heard that an invasion from the Blanc Kingdom had occurred.
Staring at William's figure, the bodies of the two envoys bowed before him. Their expressions showed their nervousness.
The thought of praising King William appeared in their minds. Luckily, they restrained themselves. William's current figure was enough to give fear to any of them.
William's hand now carries a scroll. After reading the scroll for some time, a chuckle escaped his mouth.
"Are you serious? There is no word for surrender in my dictionary. I have promised both parties that I will kill the king of the Blanc Kingdom! Don't you believe it?" A cold voice sounded throughout the palace. The expressions of the people in the palace showed their worried faces. Unable to hold back their scared faces, the people in the palace did not dare to look at William's figure.
William's current body radiated a pressure that was much stronger than what he had shown before. Alexios' expression looked a little nervous. Intending to ignore the pressure all over the place, he now moved slightly away from William.
"No... that... our masters don't mean to go back on their word. It's just... they're not sure whether you can fight King Blanc or not." The tone of one of the envoys showed fear. As a messenger, the man's duty was none other than to convey messages from his king.
But unfortunately, the man couldn't hold back his worry. After remembering how William's voice had previously sounded threatening, he knew there was no way he could go back on their agreement.
"What a stupid question. Since you don't trust me, what's the point of the agreement I previously gave? I really expected all of you to be able to cooperate with me." With a sigh, leaving William's mouth, his figure disappeared from his throne. Suddenly, he appeared behind the two envoys.
William's face showed no expression. His sharp gaze gave a feeling of worry to those who saw his eyes. With the appearance of William behind the two envoys, their heads began to be severed from their bodies.
A cold snort came out of William. Putting his sword back into its sheath, he now looked at Commander Leo's figure.
"Sir Leo, I order you to deal with one of those useless kingdoms. I will have no more mercy towards any of them."
Hearing William's orders, Commander Leo now walked face-to-face in front of William. Bowing his body in front of him, he now, without hesitation, accepted William's orders.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will make the two kingdoms regret not obeying your orders."
Walking back onto the throne, William's expression regained its calm. William's eyes were endlessly focused on all the people in the room.
Luckily, the people in the room didn't dare look at William's figure. Their minds are now filled with worry. They thought that their king had become a madman.
Imagining how their king wanted to fight against the three kingdoms made their hearts beat very fast. But they decided not to refuse the wishes of their king. After seeing how their king's expression did not change, they completely believed his words.
Moreover, their commander didn't seem to show any hesitation on his face. With Commander Leo's attitude shown in front of William, they knew that Commander Leo's strength was now much different from before.
