411 The New Dwarf King (1/2)

Yale and Lina led the way to the cell where the brother of the deceased king was trapped while the rest just followed in silence.

It was easy to guess how the capital was after Yale's actions of killing the royal guards and the fact that it was impossible for anyone to access the royal palace to confirm what happened there.

Thus, it was imperative that a new king appeared, or the kingdom was doomed to a civil war that would turn into a play between other countries to choose the best dummy to govern the kingdom, so they would be able to control it from the shadows while swallowing it bit a bit.

There haven't been any conflicts until that moment because they thought that someone would appear to speak. Thus, they were all waiting while the situation was tense in fear of offending the one who provoked the mess.

However, that state wouldn't last for long if no one appeared to speak, and it would be unavoidable that conflict started.

Yale opened the cell where the deceased king's brother was captured, and Line destroyed the shackles.

The deceased king's brother didn't seem to have any problem with his body, but given that he was a Law God, it wasn't that surprising. Although he would still suffer a bit from the tortures, it was mostly psychological because there is no way that he could be harmed especially given that as a blacksmith he had a well-trained body and didn't fear the fire at all.

Those flames were scary to someone like Julie, but the flames that a Law God in the Smith Law used to create weapons were far more powerful, so they weren't a big problem.

”I don't know who you are but thank you for freeing me.”

Immediately after being freed the man kneeled in front of Yale and Lina. He was a man capable of distinguishing between friends and foes, and those who freed him from the prison were definitely his friends.

”I am Yale, and she is my girlfriend, Lina. Some of our friends and family were kidnaped by your stupid brother, so we dealt with the situation. Your brother is already dead, and his soul is reincarnating in an endless circle of suffering.”

Usually, a person would be mad hearing that something like that happened to a family member, but the man who had just been freed smiled in happiness.

”Great! He deserved it! He dared to kill our father and knock me out before framing me. I am deeply grateful for helping me to deal with this family matter and avenge my father's death.”

In the man's heart, avenging his father's unfair death was far more important than his own freedom. Although his father hadn't been the best man in the world and also committed a lot of mistakes in his life, he was still a father who treated his sons very well. Thus, he never expected that one of his sons would kill him.

He would have expected it from spies and assassins sent by other countries to deal with him due to past grudges, but never that his own son, due to the greed of power, would kill him.

”We just did it because he annoyed us. We helped you just as a side-effect. You should announce yourself as the new king and explain the truth about the past if you want to avoid a war in this kingdom.”

Although the man couldn't see the level of Yale and Lina, he was sure that both of them were far stronger than himself.

In fact, he would support them if they wanted to rule the kingdom themselves since he never had any ambition of power. As long he could smith as much as he wanted, he would be happy enough, things like ruling a country had never been of his interest.

Of course, he also understood that such powerful people weren't interested in a puny piece of land directly and wanted a dummy.

Moreover, since his father had worked so hard in the past for the country, he was decided to dedicate his life to the kingdom even if it was obeying the orders of Yale and Lina.

”Don't worry. We don't have any interest in this kingdom. If we wanted to be the rulers, it wouldn't be difficult at all even without you, and I am the owner of this world, being a king would just lower my status.”

Yale could guess the doubts of the man that he appointed as the next king. Although he didn't mind becoming a dummy in Yale's hands, Yale didn't have any intention of interfering with the Dwarf Kingdom as long as the Dwarf Kingdom didn't annoy him.

”The owner of this world? You mean that you are that legendary ruler of the eastern continent?”

He had heard from his father that the ruler of the eastern continent considered himself the world, and since was the son of the man who created it, it wasn't inappropriate that he was considered like that.
