“Speak directly!”


    A momentter, King Ron’s voice echoed in the Hall of Throne: “What is the situation at Fort South?”


    Obviously, among all things, King Ron was most concerned about Fort South! About Sean!


    “All is well!”


    Eliott Garner respectfully replied, “Last night, Miss Archer personally took action andpletely removed the poison from Sean’s blood and bone marrow!”


    “Now!”


    “King of Night personally escorted and led five thousand royal guards. They have left Fort South and set off for the capital. They should arrive before nightfall!”


    “But…”


    As he reached the end, Eliott Garner hesitated to continue.


    “Just say it!”


    There was a trace of impatience in King Ron’s deep voice.


    “Yes!”


    Eliott Garner hurriedly said, “ording to the King of Night, after the battle at Fort South, without your permission, Miss Archer dered herself Queen of Fort South,pletely seizing control of the remaining barbarian forces!”


    “And also!”


    “She was arrogant in front of King of Night, making him address her as ‘Your Majesty the Queen’, urging King of Night to quickly withdraw the hundred thousand troops stationed in Fort South…”


    Eliott Garner didn’t know the details of the deal between King Ron and Lilies Archer, he was simply rying the words of the King of Night!


    “Oh?”


    “Is that so?”Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    King Ron sneered, “No matter. It’s understandable for her to get a little inted since she just took control of Fort South. Once my great achievement is aplished, she will know what it means to have a heart full of reverence!”


    With that, King Ron changed the subject: “Tell me about the situation at the Pce of Wolf!”


    “Yes!”


    Eliott Garner reported, “Cecilia and others have secretly contacted the Northern Bloody Wolf Group. It seems they have also received some news about Fort South…”


    Then! Eliott Garner ryed to King Ron exactly what Pierre Calder had told him on the phone.


    After listening,


    “No matter!”


    King Ron still had that confident attitude, he said in a deep voice: “They are but a bunch of ants in a jar, struggling for survival. They will soon feel what real despair is!”


    As for Spirit Wolf and the others, the strongest were only at the middle stage. In King Ron’s eyes, they were not worth bothering about.


    King Ron asked casually, then turned his attention to: “The news of Ashby’s death should have reached the East Pce by now, right? What’s happening there?”


    Eliott Garner responded, “The confidants of the crown prince have gathered at the East Pce, persuading Prince Gerard to flee the capital…”


    Eliott Garner was very detailed about what happened in the East Pce!


    Even! He repeated every word of the conversation between Prince Gerard and the elders, not missing a single detail!


    It seemed! As if he had been there at the time!


    Obviously! Inside the East Pce, or among those elders, Eliott Garner had undercover agents!


    “Preferring death over escape?”


    King Ron seemed a bit surprised by Prince Gerard’s choice. However, he was mostly gratified. He sighed lightly and said, “What a natural-born child!”


    “The dignity of the royal family can’t be lost!”


    “Well said!”


    “Well said indeed!”


    “Ashby was ipetent, but he raised a good grandson for me. If Ashby had Gerard’s awareness, he would not have ended up in pieces…”


    Probably! Even Prince Gerard himself did not realize that his every move, his every word, was actually under King Ron’s control!


    Moreover, his determination to stay and wait for death, his attitude of preferring death over escape, and his principle of valuing the dignity of the royal family, were actually admired by King Ron!


    “So…”


    Eliott Garner carefully asked, “How should we deal with the situation at the East Pce?”


    “I have always been clear with rewards and punishments!” King Ron said, “Prince Ashby, in order to quell the chaos at Fort South, died heroically serving his country. He will retain the title of Crown Prince, and a state funeral will be held for him in three days.”


    “As for Gerard…”


    “Let his family stay in the East Pce for now, there’s no need to move.”


    Upon hearing this, Eliott Garner was mildly surprised. Normally, only the current Crown Prince would have the privilege of staying in the East Pce. Now that Ashby had died, even if his family were not to face punishment, they should have to move out of the East Pce.


    However, King Ron was not ying by the rules. Clearly, he was quite satisfied with Prince Gerard.


    “Nevertheless,” King Ron’s tone changed, “Those remnants of the Crown Prince’s party, the remnants of the rebels, still do not know repentance. They are trying to escape, which is fine, but they dare to incite my grandson and attempt to drive a wedge between us!”


    “Despicable!”


    “Since they want to flee the capital, let’s fulfill their wish. After they leave the city, let them quietly disappear from this world!”


    King Ron was clear with rewards and punishments. For Prince Gerard, it was a reward. For those old men, the confidants of the Crown Prince, it was naturally a punishment.


    “I obey!” said Eliott Garner. As themander-in-chief of the royal guards, charged with guarding the royal city and directly under King Ron’smand, King Ron’s attitude would be his first principle of action in the future.


    “What about Roscoe?” King Ron continued, “Ashby died at Fort South, he should be the happiest person, right?”


    Eliott Garner immediately reported what had happened at the mansion to King Ron. Just like before, he was very detailed, as if he was there. He repeated the conversation between Roscoe and others verbatim.


    Inside Roscoe’s mansion, there were also Eliott Garner’s people. This was Eliott Garner, themander-in-chief of the royal guards. The duty of the royal guards was to guard the royal city, but not just simply guarding the city. Anything that could potentially threaten the safety of the royal city was within their purview.


    “Oh?” King Ron’s reaction was simr to when he mentioned Prince Gerard, surprised but also slightly relieved. Then heughed and said, “Roscoe is teachable!”


    “It seems,” he continued, “Roscoe understands my good intentions.”


    “And he understands how to be a good son, and how to be a good subject.”


    The battle at Fort South, although Ashby died, they sessfully captured Sean, and in this crisis, they saw Prince Gerard’s determination to die rather than flee, which made Roscoe understand the difference between a ruler and a subject, and rebuild a sense of awe. King Ron was very satisfied with this oue.


    In light of this, King Ron asked, “When is the North Kingdom delegationing to the capital?”


    “Ten in the morning!” replied Eliott Garner.


    “Good!” King Ron said, “You draft the decree quickly, and before the North Kingdom delegation arrives in the capital, publicize the results of the Fort South battle!”


    “Deploy troops!”


    “Completely seal off the Pce of Wolf, and the people inside, await their fate!”


    Eliott Garner was taken aback. Was this the moment to show their cards?


    “Yes!” Without any hesitation, Eliott Garner respectfully said, “I’ll get on it right away!” After saying that, he turned and descended the ny-five jade steps, gathered his troops, and left the royal city…
