Chapter 252 - Henry’s Plan (2/2)

However, Henry spread his hands and said indifferently, “In fact, if I were you, I wouldn’t think about it for so long.”

“Why?” Clifford finally opened his mouth.

“Because, right now, His Majesty, King Harold wants to kill you.

“Only by standing by my side can you keep your life.

“This is also why I’m being upfront with you.”

Upon hearing this, Clifford’s expression turned ugly, just as Henry had said. If not for Henry’s appearance, he might have already died under the sword of King Harold.

Henry had only made a suggestion that was good for everyone, whilst the King actually wanted to kill him.

Was there a need to work for such a king?

Moreover, even if he chose to be a loyal subject and stand on the king’s side, would the king really believe his words?

Who would the king trust between Henry and himself?

Without a doubt, in the king’s eyes, Henry must be more trustworthy!

Thinking of this, Clifford’s train of thought became clear. Similar to what Henry had said, he had nothing to consider at all. This was because he did not have a choice to begin with.

“It’s my honor to serve you.”

With that, Clifford chose to obey. However, Henry did not have any reaction at all. For him, this was a natural result.

“Let me tell you the truth, Clifford.”

After obtaining Clifford’s loyalty, Henry cut out those hypocritical polite words. He revealed a sneer and said, “In fact, many people in this palace have already chosen to pledge their loyalty to me.

“As long as this war is resolved perfectly, my prestige in the palace will rise to a higher level.

“At that time, more people will be willing to join my coup.

“Our coup!”

When Clifford heard Henry’s words, he was slightly startled at first, then he smiled together. He did not expect that this general had unknowingly expanded his power to such an extent!

It was really terrifying.

However, now that he had joined Henry’s coup, the stronger Henry’s coup was, the better Clifford would be.

This was the exact reason why Clifford smiled. At that moment, he had thought of something, he approached Henry and asked softly, “General Henry, are you really confident… about this war?”

When Henry heard this question, he immediately laughed out loud. This laughter was not restrained at all, this caused Clifford to shrink his neck in fear.

Meanwhile, Henry stopped laughing and revealed a confident expression, “Don’t tell me you really think that this war will start?”

“What, what do you mean?”

Clifford was confused. He did not understand Henry’s words at all. Moreover, the words Henry spoke were said with certainty.

“No race would dare to start a war first. Aren’t the elves afraid of being ambushed by other races after the war with us humans?

“Even if the elves really win this battle, they won’t win the war!

“So I’m sure that as long as our attitudes are strong enough, they will definitely retreat!”

At this point, Henry revealed a cold smile again.

“After all, the Goddess of Luck is on my side!”
