Chapter 314: Alliance (6)<hr>
Astonishment was visible on the faces of everyone present Let alone Manus Persion, the various nobles also had their eyes wide open and seemed to have been a completely unexpected turn of events
It was only Roan Lancephil who kept a calm expression towards Aived Fon Persion
“When did you notice it?”
Aived asked while staring deeply into Roan’s eyes Making a faint smile, Roan replied with a clear voice
“When you heard the news of Prince Reitas’ death and when the identities of the dark elves were revealed, your reaction ay too calm You also stayed overly calht in front of you”
That
Aived nodded with a nonchalant expression
“You have great eyes”
It was then,
“Your Majesty, what in the world is happening?”
Manus interjected with the same surprised expression
Aived Fon Persion – the ruood He was known to be an extreed deeply in pleasure and luxury
That hat Manus and the nobles also thought Besides, even Roan re both in the previous and his current life
‘Were the ru?’
It was then that a reply to their questions were given, but from a completely different direction
“This is the true appearance of His Majesty the King”
Roan, Manus and the various nobles within the throne room turned their heads to find the owner of the voice
“Ah…”
Mutters escaped their lips The owner of the voice was surprisingly Duke Pseiad Cetale hihtly towards Aived
“You were safe?”
Manus asked carefully
‘Since Lorand disguised hi had happened to the real Duke Pseiad though…’
Fortunately, his prediction was off and Pseiad appeared completely unharmed
“I was safe thanks to His Majesty”
Pseiad gave a short reply and a ss all returned towards Aived who e smile in response
“You all seeuys thought”
As soon as those words left his mouth,
“N, no that’s not it and it’s just that…”
“You were just very different from your usual self so…”
The nobles waved their hands with startled expressions On the other hand, Manus who had once been as surprised as theained his calm, and his face of surprise stiffened coldly
“Your Majesty Was everything thus far an act?”
His voice also turned sharp Leaning on the throne, Aived gave a nod
“You could say that”
He seemed extremely calers
“For what did you hide your identity?”
Beneath his stiff and rigid expression, rage bloomed up as Aived stared directly into the eyes of Manus
“It was for the Persion Kingdodo that, Pseiad who had been standing back walked forward
“Back when His Majesty was still a crown prince, he was fareat character The citizens rejoiced and sang of hoould for sure beco countries did not”
His voice turned softer as sorrow entered his eyes
“The Right Kingdodoer and did not want a wise king”
Pseiad then continued
“By the tidoms became all the more intense If they were to ally thedom which was already weaker than other nations in military…”
“We were in a situation where we had to worry about the codom”
Aived added the last words as a bitter s that, Roan and the other nobles gave slight nods as it was in fact quite common to see cases like Aived’s There were al appearing in their neighbouring nation
Manus gripped and forh he could understand the situation, he couldn’t control the overwhele
“So you acted inco nations?”
His voice was thorny
“Do you knohat happened because of that act?”
There were obvious signs of blame within his two eyes but Aived’s expression remained caldoo naked?”
“…”
Manus couldn’t give a reply
In fact, it was so an inco who enjoyed luxury, the financial situation of the kingdom wasn’t bad Unlike other nations, there weren’t any major battles and the citizens had content, leisurous lives
‘I thought that was thanks to Brother Reitas and the great nobles of the kingdo behind the curtains However, that didn’t mean Manus could fully understand Aived’s actions Because of his false act, a horrible thing happened within the palace
“Because Your Majesty, father had deceived everyone and acted incompetent, my brother and I pointed our swords at each other Because of father, my brother tried to killthe tip of a blade filled the room as Manus’ two eyes were painted red However, Aived still retained his calm, nonchalant expression
“I am…”
His soft voice fell
“A ht flickered within his eyes
“I gave up on ht would be best to keep this country, and these citizens safe Do you think I, who had lived a false life for the entirety of dom, could force millions of citizens to death just because of the lives of my two sons?”
As soon as he finished,
“That’s all nonsense!”
Manus screamed as his face reddened
“If father named either my brother or myself as the crown prince and proedy of internal killing wouldn’t have happened!”
Intense aura exploded out from his body but Aived only returned a scoff
“You’re the one spewing out nonsense”
He stared directly at Manus
“Reitas atteave him the position of the crown prince and pro, would he have left you alive?”
Manus couldn’t give a reply but knew the answer inside Aived’s face stiffened
“And if I gave you the seat of the crown prince, would Reitas have cleanly given up?”
Manus still couldn’t give a reply back but the answer to that question was also rather obvious Soon, Aived shook his head with a short sigh
“You tere just destined to point your swords at each other”
As soon as he finished, Manus bellowed
“Did you just leave us be despite knowing all that! Why didn’t you just chasedown Manus’ cheeks Hot tears of rage and sorrow fell but Aived touched his forehead with his hand
“You still do not understand, Manus”
After a short click of his tongue, he continued
“Reitas and you – one of you had to be killed”
“What do you reatly
“You tere a lot greater than I thought, and it was to a level that I from my crown prince days would fall short in co but also a curse as the kingdom started to be divided”
“I had never done such a thing”
Manus rebutted immediately but Aived broke into a sneer
