True King's Ecstasy

Chapter 320 Peace?



He observed Velian and other members of his group, now without any disguise, stepping forward with a regal air, his presence demanding attention. The nobles in the hall cast disdainful glances his way, their eyes filled with a mix of anger and greed, for they recognized the triumphant king before them.

"What is he thinking? Coming here all alone, I guess he is trying to be a hero in front of his woman,"

"Young brat! Because of him, I have to spend my life like a beggar now,"

"Let\'s kill him, we shouldn\'t wait, he is our enemy,"

They whispered without holding back anything. They wanted Velian to know that what he did was a mistake. They wanted to give him utter despair like what they experienced when they first lost to him.

Jason\'s heart skipped a beat as he realized the audacity of Velian\'s move. The once-undercover ruler of the victorious kingdom had chosen to reveal himself, daringly striding into the heart of their enemy\'s territory. A tinge of admiration mingled with the bitterness that gripped Jason\'s soul.

Without faltering, Jason nodded to Velian, acknowledging his boldness.

"Very well," he replied, his voice filled with newfound respect. "If it is an audience with our king you seek, then I shall lead you there. Brace yourself, for the court, shall not welcome you,"

He said those words and led the way to the majestic throne, where an old man was sitting with an angered face.

Velian\'s gaze swept across the hostile nobility, his eyes glimmering with unwavering confidence. He smirked, unfazed by their animosity, relishing the opportunity to confront his adversaries head-on.

"Let them cast their glares and harbour their ill will," he remarked, his voice dripping with pride.

"Their greed and envy shall not prevent me from seeking the resolution our kingdoms deserve and I honestly don\'t even want to be enemies with you," Velian said and looked at Jaosn for one last time, before he meets the king.

"But if you want, I can single-handedly deal with it," Velian said those words, but Jason didnt take them seriously, as he couldn\'t believe a single man could cause so much destruction.

Kneeling before the king, Jason spoke with a measured voice, tinged with respect. "Your Majesty, I bring forth King Velian, ruler of the Kelleros kingdom, who seeks an audience with you. He wishes to discuss the matters that have befallen our kingdom."

The king\'s eyes widened slightly as he observed the audacious guest before him, his voice calm yet tinged with curiosity.

"Speak, King Velian," the king commanded his words echoing through the grand hall.

"State your purpose and reveal your intentions for coming in an undercover like this, do you want to declare war against us?"

Rising from his kneeling position Jason also perked his ears to listen, Velian stood tall, his gaze unyielding as he addressed the gathered nobles and other officials.

"Well, why would I need to declare war? You already tried to attack us and ran with your tail between your legs? Doesn\'t that mean I could beat you anytime?"

Everyone was surprised by how disrespectful he was. His words didn\'t have elegance, but somehow even his cuss words looked like they came from an angel because of how soothing his voice was.

Daphnia wanted to help Velian since she knew he won\'t hold back with words, but she decided to not do it in front of others because she didn\'t want her son to be called a weak king that relies on a woman for everything.

"How rude! You should be grateful that we are talking like this instead of killing you, "One of the nobles shouted gaining Velian\'s attention.

The king himself, intrigued by Velian\'s boldness, leaned forward on his ornate throne, his gaze fixated upon the defiant ruler. The air grew heavy with anticipation as the nobles awaited their king\'s response, uncertain of how he would handle this unexpected turn of events.

Velian, undeterred by the hostility that surrounded him, held his head high, his regal demeanour untouched.

"Your kingdom sought to snatch away our merchants and investors, provoking this war," he continued, his voice infused with righteous fervour. "Yet, when faced with the first offence, your incompetence was laid bare, resulting in your kingdom\'s resounding defeat."

Gasps of outrage escaped the lips of the noble assembly, their fury fueling a burning desire for retribution.

"Kill him here, since we don\'t have any agreements or relationships with any other kingdom, they won\'t question us," Suddenly everyone started saying the same thing.

Ellena and Kyla looked a bit troubled because they didn\'t know Velian had the power to deal with all of them, so they wanted to convince Daphnia so things won\'t get too violent.

"Teacher! We should fall back for now, we are too outnumbered," Kyla said with a concerned face.

"Kyla, I understand your concern. But don\'t worry, we have Velian at our side," Daphnia reassured, her voice carrying an air of unwavering confidence.

"His strength is unmatched, and his power can handle any threat that comes our way. Trust in him as I do."

ραпdα---nᴏνa| сom Ellena, her brow furrowed with doubt, chimed in, "But My lady, the opposition seems overwhelming. It\'s not just a few, but a multitude of enemies we face. Can our lord truly defeat them all?"

Daphnia\'s eyes glinted with determination as she replied,

"Velian possesses a strength that surpasses ordinary bounds, my dear Ellena. His abilities are unparalleled, honed through countless battles. Have faith in his prowess, for he is more than capable of overcoming any challenge."

She said and looked at the king who was waiting for his nobles to act because he wanted to use the excuse that it wasn\'t on his orders that Velian got attacked.

He knew if he survive by any chance, it would be the end for him, so he wanted to at least have this advantage of giving one of the heads of his underling, so he can wash his hands.

As the trio exchanged words, the tension in the air heightened. Unbeknownst to them, the forces had employed the aid of powerful nobles who sought to capture Velian, their orders echoing through the night.

Amidst the chaos, a nobleman bellowed, his voice carrying authority,

"Bring me Velian\'s head! His defiance shall be met with swift justice!"
