Chapter 48: Saintess Aria

In the entire lives of those corrupt nobles, this was the first time they had experienced a situation where they could lose their lives. Even though the corrupt nobles had existed before William became king of the Lionheart Kingdom, they had tarnished the kingdom’s name and made it look like a low-level kingdom.

All citizens in the kingdom hated the corrupt nobles who had oppressed them for decades. Now the corrupt nobles had been completely killed with just one order from William. Even the citizens were aware of what their king was doing to those immoral nobles.

"It’s not like that! It’s because we are all victims who His Majesty has brainwashed! It’s all that person’s fault! Please let us live!"

There was no expression on Zack’s face. The expression shown by Zack was cold and expressionless. As soon as Zack’s gaze landed on the big-mouthed nobleman, he, without hesitation, immediately executed him with one slash.

"Challenging King William is stupid. You are all just lowly people who have been given power by the previous king. Therefore, you all have no talent for managing a territory and can only stay in the capital as lowly traders!"

The reactions shown by the troops were no different from Zack’s. They all, without hesitation, immediately cut off the heads of the other corrupt nobles without any retribution. For the troops, they all realized that challenging King William was no different from bringing death upon themselves.

Both the Blanc Kingdom, the Iron Kingdom, and the Helmut Kingdom realized that William was a competent and cruel ruler who could make them submit to his orders. In fact, almost all citizens of the three kingdoms recognized William as their leader. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The various rumors that Zack had spread were not only about William’s victory in conquering the Blanc Kingdom. On the contrary, he had also spread rumors such as how King William had risen from his death and then stabilized the economy of the Lionheart Kingdom in just two weeks.

This was also one of the reasons why every citizen of the three kingdoms wanted to submit to William’s orders. With William becoming the leader of the three kingdoms, they would all have a better life than when they were subject to the orders of their previous kings.

King Helmut also understood what the citizens wanted. From the start, King Helmut had been defeated by William and had completely submitted to William’s orders. Apart from the king of the Iron Kingdom who was killed by William directly, King Helmut was the only current king who had not been killed by William.

William had planned all this to conquer the hearts of every inhabitant of the three kingdoms. Letting King Helmut survive was one of the keys for William to be able to spread his power in the eyes of the other citizens. Therefore, he was able to easily win the hearts of the citizens of the Iron Kingdom, Blanc Kingdom, and Helmut Kingdom in just one day.

Although initially the citizens of the Blanc Kingdom were reluctant to submit to William’s orders, they decided to make William their king after seeing his prowess in conquering the evil nobles in the Blanc Kingdom. In contrast, the citizens of the Iron Kingdom did not have the same good fortune as the citizens of the Blanc Kingdom.

However, the king of the Iron Kingdom had dared to openly challenge William before they went to war with each other. This was also the reason why most of the citizens and nobles of the Iron Kingdom panicked and then secretly ran away from their homes.

Unfortunately, they all died because they dared to escape from the supervision of William’s troops. Even though William was a good man in the eyes of the citizens of the Lionheart Kingdom, to the citizens of the Iron Kingdom, William was like a monster who had no feelings and could kill ordinary people at any time.

Luckily, the fear faced by the citizens of the Iron Kingdom disappeared after the announcement given to them by Commander Leo. From today onwards, the Iron Kingdom would be part of the Lionheart Kingdom. Although they were still not completely united, they would sooner or later enter and then become part of the Lionheart Kingdom.

The providence between the Iron Kingdom and the Lionheart Kingdom would sooner or later merge. For now, William’s current goal was to improve the economy of the Lionheart Kingdom and then prepare for the next battle.

The plan to unite the three kingdoms was about to become a reality. Both King Helmut and William had reached an agreement in uniting their territories. But this news had not yet been officially announced by William and King Helmut.

It was unlikely that William would reveal his unfinished plans to the public. Combining the four kingdoms was big news that could trigger hostility from outside the four kingdoms. Therefore, William had to refrain from being flashy when dealing with rulers from outside the four kingdoms.

Several days passed, and several uninvited guests appeared in the kingdom. A luxurious and dignified white horse-drawn carriage entered the vicinity of the royal capital. Alexios’s figure appeared outside the palace gates. Bowing his head in front of the carriage door, Alexios waited for the person inside the carriage to come out and show herself.

"Your Excellency Saintess has arrived!"

Alexios’s usually calm expression turned nervous. Facing a saintess was the rarest thing to find in every kingdom. However, the status of a Saintess was far above that of an archbishop.

Most saints held the right to take orders from their god. For people like Alexios, he was only a carrier of religious teachings and spread His teachings to various remote areas.

The duty of an archbishop was to spread the teachings of God and let them worship Him like a god. Due to a saintess appearing in the Lionheart Kingdom, Alexios felt uneasy when he remembered the nature of his king.

A woman with long, flowing, and beautiful white hair walked out of the horse-drawn carriage, followed by a female servant by her side. Suddenly, the white-haired woman stared at the figures of Alexios and the other guards.

For some reason, a nod appeared on Saintess Aria’s head. This was the first time Saintess Aria had visited the Lionheart Kingdom after William’s reign. Previously, Saintess Aria had visited the Lionheart Kingdom, but that was only a formality given directly by the Pope.

"Judging from your clothes... are you a priest of this church?"

"No. I am the bishop who manages all the needs of the church and the kingdom. I hope Her Excellency the Saintess can forgive our presumptuous behavior."

Saintess Aria’s gaze turned cold, and she incessantly glanced around her. Some of the citizens within the kingdom had turned out to be much more devout than when she had first visited the Lionheart Kingdom. Even though she was confused about the major changes taking place within the Lionheart Kingdom, Saintess Aria decided to act humbly when in someone else’s territory.

"Um... it wasn’t easy for you to get to this place. How about you go and rest? I have received a message from His Majesty that he wants you to rest first."

As a saintess, Saintess Aria realized who Alexios was referring to by "His Majesty." Various memories of Saintess Aria meeting William in the past came flooding back to her mind. Luckily, William in the past was a polite man. Otherwise, it would have been a huge problem that could destroy the fate of the Lionheart Kingdom.

"It’s okay. We came on orders from the King Moonlight. I must congratulate His Majesty William for successfully conquering the Blanc Kingdom and making it his own. This is also the King Moonlight’s wish."

The King Moonlight was the ruler of the Moonlight Kingdom. He was also a friend of the previous ruler of the Lionheart Kingdom. Moreover, the King Moonlight was one of the kings that William had met in the past.

"Unfortunately, His Majesty is currently busy with work. I will arrange a place for you to meet. If you can’t hold back your patience, I will take you into the main hall of the palace and let you wait for His Majesty to arrive." The nervousness that had previously plagued Alexios disappeared after remembering William’s figure. After remembering William’s cruelty towards his enemies, Alexios considered the woman in front of him to be much lower than his king.

There was no one Alexios could fear other than William. Ignoring the fact that Alexios really worshiped the Sun God and was willing to sacrifice himself for his god, Alexios would only submit to William’s orders as long as he could improve the Sun God’s image in the eyes of people from outside the borders.

The expressions of Saintess Aria’s guards turned ugly. The title of Saintess was not a lowly title that could be said at any time. Due to Alexios’s impolite attitude, they felt dissatisfied with his arrogance.

But Saintess Aria didn’t mind the impolite attitude shown to her by Alexios. Instead, Saintess Aria decided to accept Alexios’s offer and wait for William’s presence in the main hall of the palace.

In William’s private room, his face now showed his satisfaction. Both of William’s gazes were now looking at Anna like the only woman he loved. After announcing Anna’s rise in status in front of the citizens, William decided to play with Anna for a whole night.

Endless pleasure swept through William’s heart. Previously, William had wanted to bring Diana into their intimate relationship, but she, without hesitation, rejected his offer and wanted to focus on increasing her status as William’s next legal wife.
