Chapter 1082: Chapter 809: Because There’s Something Wrong with Him
Rom still restrained his actions.
About a few minutes after Reiger and the others left, the unconscious Solok woke up.
Awakened, Solok did not see Reiger, only Hemulinp who looked at him coldly.
Thus, he fell into silence.
"Do you know what you’ve done?"
Hemulinp spoke coldly.
Solok did not answer, still maintaining his silence.
Seeing Solok like this, Hemulinp couldn’t help but soften a little.
But the necessary words, he still said.
"I should have told you long ago not to provoke Reiger Brillhaut, didn’t I?" Hemulinp said frustratedly, "Winning him over is definitely more worthwhile than offending him. Anyone with a brain can see this clearly. Why do you insist on not listening?"
"How are you going to win public support like this? How are you going to defeat the Codelion Family? How are you going to ascend the throne smoothly?"
"Being a king means knowing how to control yourself, knowing how to manage your emotions. I’ve already told you this many times."
"If you can’t do it, then I really need to reconsider whether I should continue grooming you as the heir."
Hemulinp’s remarks were significant.
But he had to speak, otherwise this problem wouldn’t be resolved, and ultimately, it would be the royal family who couldn’t back down.
Reiger Brillhaut has already become influential, even the royal family dares not offend him easily.
If Solok really can’t recognize reality, can’t change his perspective, and consider from the position of a king how to get along with Reiger, but instead continues to act on his temperament, then Hemulinp really would have to harden his heart and establish another heir.
Fortunately, hearing Hemulinp’s words, Solok unexpectedly remained calm this time.
"...I know what I need to do."
The words were devoid of the usual madness, contained only a coldness like stating facts.
"That’s good."
Feeling a bit surprised by Solok’s attitude, Hemulinp nodded in satisfaction.
"Remember, don’t let there be a next time."
After the final reminder, Hemulinp led the large team out of the room.
Solok watched Hemulinp leave.
His gaze was extraordinarily calm, extraordinarily indifferent, even extraordinarily cold.
"Being a king...huh?"
After a long time, Solok laughed.
The laugh seemed somewhat frenzied.
"Indeed, you’ve always ruled like this, haven’t you, father."
Solok stood up unsteadily.
"For the sake of the royal family’s interests, sacrifice whatever needs to be sacrificed, even if it’s your own offspring."
"For the royal family’s interests, disregard the weak, and make friends with the strong, forgiving past enmities, even retreating ten miles."
"You’ve always been a king like this, unable to express anger, always yielding to others, to the nation."
"What meaning is there in being a king like you?"
Solok laughed softly, the laughter growing louder.
"I think you should no longer be king, my father."
"I know better than you how to be king."
"When I become king, I’ll mobilize the entire kingdom’s power to eradicate the Codelion Family and Thunder Light Sword Saint!"
Speaking to himself, an unprecedentedly chilling force gradually erupted from Solok.
"I know what I need to do..."
"Reiger Brillhaut..."
"I want you dead!!!"
In the chaotic and bloody room, the chilling force spread like a swamp, engulfing everything.
Solok’s shadow cast on the wall started to distort, roaring like a giant beast.
...
At this moment, Hemulinp was leading Flon and other knights out of Solok’s palace, arriving outside the grand entrance.
"Your Majesty."
The always silent Flon suddenly spoke, uttering a sentence.
"Something inexplicable seems to have changed about Reiger Brillhaut."
With this statement, not only did Hemulinp immediately pause, even Rom hidden in the shadows focused intently.
"A significant change?" Hemulinp asked, furrowing his brows, "What change?"
Flon didn’t answer immediately but carefully recalled.
"He has become stronger."
After a while, Flon threw out these words.
"Stronger?"
Hemulinp was stunned.
"Yes." Flon affirmed, "And he’s become much, much stronger."
"Even though I could sense his power and threat during the turmoil at the palace before, he didn’t give me an undefeatable feeling then."
"But now, only two days later, the feeling he gives me is completely different."
"Now he seems completely unbeatable."
"So, he’s grown stronger, much, much stronger."
Hearing Flon’s words, not to mention Hemulinp, even Rom felt somewhat horrified.
"How is that possible?" Rom couldn’t help but exclaim, "He’s only 17 years old, how could the Marquis of Borlay see him as unbeatable?"
Who is Flon Bolei?
He is a descendant of a Sword Saint lineage that has been around for hundreds of years, the captain of the kingdom’s knights, and the acknowledged number one knight of the kingdom!
In the absence of the reclusive one in the royal palace, this knight captain is the indisputable strongest in the kingdom!
Similarly a Sword Saint, even before Reiger was famous, among the other five Sword Saints of the Ginas Kingdom, apart from the completely reclusive elder Sword Saint, every one of them, without exception, believed that they could not defeat this knight captain.
His skill is among the top tier of Sword Saints on the entire continent, not even in the same league as an ordinary Sword Saint, and he is even a cut above the seasoned Sword Saints.
In Reiger’s words, this Sword Saint of the Borlay family, like the elder Sword Saint guarding the treasury, is at Lv.8, a world of difference from the ordinary Lv.7 Sword Saints.
Even for him, facing that elder Sword Saint, he would have a two or three out of ten chance of winning.
Yet when facing Reiger, he actually admitted that the other was completely unbeatable to him?
This... how could it be?
Rom was filled with disbelief.
"...Are you serious?"
Hemulinp’s face turned grim again as he looked at Flon, confirming word by word.
"I wouldn’t speak recklessly about such things." Flon said indifferently, "Although we still have to compete to know for sure, at the very least, right now Reiger Brillhaut gives me this impression, without a single lie."
"I can very confidently tell His Majesty, the earlier Reiger Brillhaut was strong, but in my estimation, he didn’t seem as strong as that mysterious woman who always follows him."
"But now, the impression he gives me, the threat I feel from him, is no less than that mysterious woman, perhaps even above her."
At this point, a gleam appeared in Flon’s eyes.
His heart harbored some fighting spirit.
With the elder Sword Saint not emerging, he is invincible within the kingdom.
In such circumstances, he couldn’t quite remember how long it’s been since he faced a worthy opponent.
It must be known that the Borlay family has always adhered to the principle of meeting foes with swords.
Every heir of the Borlay family has grown through countless challenges, honing their sword in each encounter until they ultimately ascend to the stage of Sword Saints.
Flon’s son Albert is such, and he himself is too.
Flon has always believed that only by challenging strong foes can his sword become sharper, allowing him to become stronger.
In consideration of this, having exchanged a move with Yuloli in the king’s hall and sensing the opponent’s strength, Flon has been thinking about finding an opportunity to challenge her these past two days.
And now, it seems there’s another person he wants to challenge.
The strength of Reiger and Yuloli, the threat they both represented to him, filled him not with fear but with joy.
In contrast, Hemulinp’s expression turned unpredictable.
At this point, Hemulinp finally started to regret.
Regret not acting hastily, and regret not stopping Solok earlier, resulting in some animosity between Reiger and the royal family.
If he had known this person was so strong, with such powerful figures following him, Hemulinp would never have engaged in conflict with him.
These are two Sword Saints stronger than Flon!
And they are both so young!
Especially Reiger, who, while being so strong, also knows how to use various powerful magic.
Not to mention the mouth-watering spatial magic, even the magic he used earlier in the king’s hall is still vivid in Hemulinp’s mind.
"Magic that surpasses strategic levels..."
Recalling that pillar of light that summoned the end of the world, Hemulinp’s eyes held both yearning and greed, and endless apprehension.
"It seems our attitude toward him needs to change somewhat."
After a long pause, Hemulinp suppressed his myriad thoughts and said.
"Rom, send a few Shadow Knights over here to keep watch, and don’t let Solok clash with Reiger Brillhaut again, understand?"
Hearing this, Rom opened his mouth, and in the end, could only reluctantly respond.
"Yes."
......
"Master..."
At the same time, on the way back to her quarters, Liz, trying to break the silence, tentatively spoke to the silent Reiger.
"What’s the matter?"
Reiger smiled slightly and responded to Liz.
"Why is Master going to see my brother... Prince Solok?"
Liz gathered her courage to ask.
To this, Reiger surprisingly gave a straightforward answer.
"Because there is an issue with him."
These words left both Liz and Luna stunned.
"There’s an issue... with Prince Solok?"
Luna asked in disbelief.
"That’s right."
Reiger nodded lightly, his voice reaching everyone’s ears.
"You all had better be prepared."
"If nothing goes wrong, the palace is soon to be in turmoil."
"When that time comes, we’ll be the first to bear the brunt of it."
A sense of indescribable unease spread in everyone’s hearts following Reiger’s statement.
But time waits for no one.
The moment of chaos draws closer every second.
Until it completely envelops this place.
