Chapter 812 - 370: The King’s Decision (Part 3)
"Today is the eighth day."
The Redwood King whispered to himself, "I wonder what results he has had."
As he pondered, the Guard Commander hurriedly ran in,
"Your Majesty, are you alright?!"
The Guard Commander’s voice was filled with urgency, "Felsen the Wizard has disappeared!"
The Redwood King’s brows instantly furrowed, "What happened?!"
"Didn’t I tell you to keep a close watch on him?"
The Redwood King abruptly stood up, "What on earth happened?!"
"Our men fell asleep early in the morning."
The Guard Commander hastily explained, "They have never made a mistake, but they still haven’t woken up!"
"It could, it could be that the Wizard bewitched them!"
"I’ve sent people to search, but he left you this letter."
The Guard Commander respectfully handed over the envelope.
"What are you waiting for?"
The Redwood King said coldly, "Open it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Guard Commander respectfully tore open the envelope, swiftly unfolded the letter inside, and presented it before the Redwood King.
"Dear King, Your Majesty."
"I am truly sorry, I can’t completely heal your wound right now."
"I need to find my teacher for help, and this may take a long time."
"Perhaps you won’t hold out until then, my sincerest apologies."
"Of course, if you still believe in me, you can find me in the Wildwood Village on the northeastern border."
"If you need to."
After reading the letter, the Redwood King sank into silence.
He casually handed the letter to the Guard Commander.
The Guard Commander accepted the letter with both hands and quickly glanced through it.
"This, this is a trap, Your Majesty!"
The Guard Commander said worriedly, "That Wildwood Village is outside our jurisdiction!"
"Your Majesty, this Felsen is a spy from the Flame Dragon Empire!"
The Redwood King said nothing, stood up, walked over to the window, and gazed at the sunlight outside.
As the ruler of the Empire, he knew that going so far away from the royal city could be dangerous.
As the Guard Commander said, it is likely a trap.
As the ruler of the Empire, his life is not only his own.
Once caught, they could threaten the entire Empire.
But if he doesn’t go, he might die or turn into a monster.
The Redwood King took a deep breath, unconsciously rubbing his forearm.
"You may leave now, Lillard, let me think it through."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Guard Commander respectfully saluted and quietly exited the study.
Yet there was no time given for the Redwood King to think, as the door was knocked upon once more.
"What’s going on?"
The Redwood King frowned, "Come in."
"Apologies, Your Majesty, for interrupting, urgent intelligence has been received from the Golden Lion Kingdom to the north."
The Guard Commander quickly approached and whispered, "The Golden Lion King suddenly transformed into a monstrous man-eater and was slain by the Golden Lion Guard."
"The Fourth Prince has ascended to the throne as the new king."
The Redwood King was shocked, his fists unconsciously clenching.
Because the Golden Lion King, like himself, had once consumed Lomisa’s life essence.
"Wait, why is it the Fourth Prince ascending?"
The Redwood King asked with a frown, "The Fourth Prince is only thirteen, what about Lance’s eldest prince?"
Lance refers to the Golden Lion King who transformed into a monster.
The Guard Commander cautiously reported, "The Eldest Prince, Second Princess, and Third Princess have all transformed into monsters..."
"Make preparations, I’m going to find Felsen the Wizard."
The Redwood King said decisively, "We leave tonight!"
The Guard Commander was stunned, suddenly understanding something from his majesty’s resoluteness.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The Guard Commander didn’t hesitate any further and responded respectfully.
"Wait a moment."
Just as he turned to leave, the Redwood King suddenly called out to him.
The Guard Commander turned back, waiting for orders.
"Also, prepare a poison."
The Redwood King solemnly said, "If it’s a trap, I absolutely cannot let them capture me."
"The throne will be inherited by Will, he is the healthiest."
The Will referred to by the Redwood King is the Second Prince, who has not consumed the life essence.
The Guard Commander gulped and immediately knelt with one knee,
"Rest assured, I will arrange everything perfectly!"
The Redwood King closed his eyes and nodded slightly, "Go prepare."
