The news of the Dragon King’s early arrival had been widely spread throughout the Royal Court Ever since, people began guessing the reason that he had arrived ahead of ti riding a giant roc in the sky

King Kuari illing to boastfully show that he had the Dragon King in his grip So, he held a grand welcoht He invited all the nobles of Norland

Gu Shenwei felt like a rare and valuable animal from some exotic place He received lots of attention and compliments, but no respect

For the people in Norland, “the Dragon King” was just a nickna of the Spear” and “the Mighty King”, this nickna the banquet that he realized entirely that what Fang Wenshi+ had warned was true

King Shengri, the second rightful heir, was said to be indifferent to gaining the throne When he saw the Dragon King, he took his ariant roc? Show it to iant red-crowned roc left o of the Dragon King’s arm with a disappointed look, and walked away

Gu Shenwei received sireeted him warmly, and others treated hi

Co Kuari was treated very differently He was not only the host, but also the focus of the whole banquet The crowd, regardless of age or ranking, was eager to flatter King Kuari, the Khan’s favorite grandson Even his uncle, King Shengri, tried to get his attention HeKuari He drunkenly shouted to King Kuari, “King Kuari, you have displeased hter? Do you think she is not pretty enough to be your wife?”

It was common for the Royal Family to wed their cousins in Norland So, no one was surprised at King Shengri’s words

King Kuari always pretended to be an easygoing, amiable person in front of outsiders He downed a bowl of liquor and replied, “My dear uncle, whohter will be lucky But as you know, I have asked the Khan to choose a wife for me Without his permission, I dare not even touch a female slave My stones have even started to hurt because I have not used the”

That was a joke that the people of Norland loved His words set the crowd in a roar inside the tent Gu Shenwei thought that he would lose his hearing frori was touched by his words He raised his bowl and hollered, “The Khan is a wise, insightfulTherefore, heKuari is the hope of Norland Those who are fighting for the throne should stop now and support King Kuari for the sake of Norland”

His words were ive up the throne

King Dari did not attend this banquet, but some of his supporters were in the tent Few responded to his words Many kept drinking with the others, and so as though they had not heard King Shengri’s words

Gu Shenas a patient observer He was not in a hurry to establish his authority in a new environht it was both unnecessary and vain

He co Kuari’s inal opinion was right: when two forces fight against each other, most people chose to try to make peace between the two forces

Gu Shenwei had previously made those ere on the fence trust him and make up their mind with a victory Besides, he had not punished those who had conspired with the Golden Roc Fort He never expected loyalty from others Whether his subordinates served him faithfully or notKuari did not think the sa did When he noticed few responded to King Shengri, he stayed cal Shengri’s words, some had shown their conteree Kuari’s blacklist

King Kuari was born into a royal family He had witnessed people’s complete loyalty to the Khan since he was a boy So, he took people’s loyalty to the Khan for granted Once they showed any disloyalty to the Khan, King Kuari was on alert and angry

Although he did not sit on the throne, he began to test the loyalty of his supporters

In Gu Shenwei’s eyes, King Kuari’s approach was unwise King Huari ht then turn to follow his enee in fighting for the throne King Dari had gradually exposed his incapability and weakness Perhaps King Dari, himself, had noticed that he had already lost the battle with King Kuari

Gu Shenwei had his own defect: he did not drink

He did not drink at the banquet in Norland, which was an insult to the host King Kuari overlooked this, but others could not forgive it so easily When they raised their bowls and saw that the Dragon King did not move, they showed surprised expressions, and then walked off angrily
