My Nine Wives Want to Kill Me!

Wrinkles appeared on Anna’s face. It wasn’t a pleasant thing to see Selena’s expression turn dark. As one of the women who has been by William’s side, she knows that William loves Selena like a precious woman.

From the start, William could revoke Selena’s status as his legal wife at any time and replace her with another. But William did not revoke Selena’s status as his legal wife and allowed her to have full rights in the palace. Even though William didn’t show it directly toward Selena, Anna thought William’s bias was enough for him to make Selena the woman he loved most.

In fact, both Anna and Diana were jealous of William’s bias toward Selena. After all, Selena was one of the reasons why William was almost stabbed to death by her. But William didn’t mind Selena’s murder attempt at all.

But William’s wishes were also Anna and Diana’s decisions. Even if they hated Selena, who had secretly stabbed William, they would not choose to move from their place and kill Selena.

A sigh escaped Marianee’s mouth. Marianee’s two emerald eyes stared at Anna’s figure. Even though she was jealous of Anna’s rise in status from a previous concubine to William’s second legal wife, she would not refuse William’s every wish for his concubines.

Anna’s achievement in submitting to William’s orders is one of the reasons why she can be considered William’s second legal wife. All the concubines in the baths realized what William meant. Therefore, they had no problem at all with Anna’s promotion to William’s second legal wife.

"Congratulations, Sister Anna. From now on, you will be our second sister. Apart from Selena, you are His Majesty’s second legal wife. Please take care of us from now on."

Elena’s praise did not change Anna’s face. On the contrary, Anna’s current expression only showed her indifference toward the various praises given by the concubines.

Most of the concubines in the palace were Anna’s enemies in the past. They are also the reason why Anna became so helpless when faced with Hela. However, Hela’s power in the palace was previously much higher than Anna’s.

But Anna’s rise in status as a legal wife was enough for her to subdue Hela like a servant. Luckily, the attitude shown by Hela at this time did not completely display her arrogance. For now, Hela would not act foolishly when dealing with William’s legal wives.

One of the reasons why Selena can live comfortably to date is because of her status as William’s legal wife. But it was no use because William’s previous self was a stupid and greedy man. After William rose from the dead, his understanding of the situation raised his status in the eyes of the citizens of the Lionheart Kingdom.

The increasing status of William was also the reason why the status of a concubine rising to one of William’s legal wives was a tempting choice and could give them good power in the kingdom. Since Anna was William’s second legal wife, both Selena and the other concubines would not have much room to move from their places.

"It’s not a good thing if you keep praising me with those useless words. However, I know that Hela will still act cunningly around His Majesty. I just advise you not to think anything strange about His Majesty at this time."

Hela didn’t care at all about Anna’s warning to her. Instead of accepting the warning that Anna gave her, Hela put on a foolish expression as if she didn’t care about William’s current changes.

Hela’s support is no lower than William’s. It’s not surprising that Hela has high self-confidence when she is in the palace. All the concubines in the palace were in no way Hela’s opponents in terms of power.

Unfortunately, Hela’s identity as the princess of the Litch Kingdom is completely unknown to both the concubines and William. From the start, Hela’s goal was to become part of William’s wives and then seize his power as the ruler of the Lionheart Kingdom. But for now, Hela won’t move until the king of the Litch Kingdom decides to give her help.

A small grin appeared on Hela’s face. Ignoring the cold expressions of Anna and Diana, she decided to ignore them and immerse herself in the hot spring again.

Several hours passed. In a dark room containing several scattered corpses, William’s figure appeared in the shadows and held the head of a corrupt nobleman. A pleading voice came out of the corrupt noble’s mouth.

Most of the people killed by William were subordinates of the corrupt noble. But because the power of the corrupt noble’s subordinates was weak, he could easily kill them with just one wave.

The expression shown by the corrupt noble displayed a look of despair on his face. No one would understand what the corrupt noble was feeling right now. Both the body and soul of the corrupt noble were endlessly tortured by William’s power.

William’s grip on the corrupt nobleman’s neck became stronger than before. For some reason, an unhappy expression appeared on William’s face. After reading the contents of the memories in the corrupt nobleman’s mind, William discovered that this corrupt nobleman was just a tool that could be used once.

It was no different from making those corrupt nobles scapegoats to let the remnants of the other nobles who had dared to betray the Lionheart Kingdom escape. Of course, William had predicted everything that would happen now. Therefore, he had asked Alexios to bring over a thousand troops to block the path at the borders of the Lionheart Kingdom.

Most of the four kingdoms were under William’s control. Even the Iron Kingdom and Helmut Kingdom were under William’s control. Even if the corrupt nobles asked for help from the nobles within the two kingdoms, they would have no chance of surviving William’s grasp.

All the current situations were under William’s vision. Shaking his head, William, without hesitation, immediately threw the body of the corrupt noble and let it hit the wall of the room.

A cough could be heard coming from the corrupt nobleman’s mouth. A large amount of blood came out of his mouth. The corrupt noble’s half-dead gaze stared at William’s figure. Even though the corrupt noble was afraid, he would never submit to William’s orders for the rest of his life.

"You... you are just a trash king. You will forever be trash in the eyes of us nobles. Your Majesty, your power will sooner or later be destroyed by people who will betray you in the future. You’d better remember these words of mine..." After the last sentence spoken by the corrupt noble, his consciousness completely disappeared from his body, and his soul entered the Nether Stone. There was no reaction visible on William’s face. Instead, he decided to return to his duties as a king.

William’s image in the eyes of the people had completely changed to that of a good and competent king. To be considered a trash king by corrupt nobles is not a pleasant thing. Even if they had considered William a trash king in the past, they had dared to plot against him and also tried to betray the Lionheart Kingdom.

Those corrupt nobles should not think of William as a trash king. It’s just that William didn’t care about the insults given by the corrupt nobleman. Therefore, he ignored any insults that the nobles gave him and treated them as insignificant.

"I will prove to all of you that I am not someone you can oppress as you please. With my current strength, I can destroy the factions you have created over the past years. There are only two options for those who dare to challenge me. One is that they must submit to me. The second is that they will be killed by me!"

At the borders of the four kingdoms, various armies could be seen passing each other. Even troops from the Blanc Kingdom were present there. The person leading the troops from the Blanc Kingdom was Commander Leo’s right-hand man, Zack.

Several men with fat bodies were seen lowering themselves to the ground. Most of the fat men were nobles who had committed countless acts of corruption. Luckily, Zack was not a foolish person. Even though the corrupt nobles tried to change the true storyline, Zack did not believe them and immediately attacked them without hesitation.

"His Majesty has informed us that all of you will appear within the border line. Now you will have no more chances to leave this place alive!"
