I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 490 - 460 Lynn: Hadlata Needs No King!

In the grand royal palace of the Hadrata Kingdom, you could hear a pin drop.

Over a hundred prominent kingdom officials stood on both sides of the great hall, yet each of them acted as if they were blind and deaf, completely ignoring the offensive actions of Lynn and Laud and others.

Everyone was well aware that the kingdom was no longer the balance of power between the monarchy, the clergy, and the nobility; this was the realm of Wizards!

The silence of the crowd further plunged Hattar's heart into the abyss, but he still pretended to be surprised as he began to speak, "I don't understand what you are talking about, Master Lynn. Could there be some misunderstanding... These men are indeed my attendants, but I never..."

"I always thought that our cooperation was quite good, Your Majesty Hattar!" Lynn did not give the other party a chance to defend himself and interrupted Hattar's words with a sigh before continuing.

"Unfortunately, you have betrayed our alliance, and you have betrayed the entire kingdom and all its subjects!"

Although the current feudal system of the Hadrata Kingdom was not to his liking and even clashed with the advancement system he wanted to establish, centered around "knowledge" and "magic," considering the internal stability of the kingdom, Lynn had not planned to move against the nobles and merchants at such a critical time.

After all, a year and a half was too short; they controlled vast areas of the kingdom through various means and even gained the trust and favor of the destitute by distributing food, conducting grievance assemblies, and purging nobles, but they were indeed lacking in capable administrators.

According to his plan, the purge of nobles should have occurred only after the assembly had trained a number of trustworthy administrators and had secured an absolute advantage over the church by making legendary breakthroughs. Only then would it have been sufficiently prudent.

Unfortunately, there always seemed to be those foolish enough to try stopping a chariot with arm thrusts...

The sudden grain war instigated by the nobles also made Lynn realize that the internal rot within the kingdom had reached a point where it had to be cleaned up.

Such unstable factors could prove fatal if they suddenly erupted during their decisive battle with the empire!

Lynn's sighing words, however, angered Hattar.

Betray the kingdom?!

How dare he use such words to describe himself, a legitimate king?

"Enough, this is my kingdom! It belonged to the Bazzer family, it does now, and it will in the future. I will never allow anyone to take it away from me!" Hattar stood up from the throne like a raging lion, fixing his gaze on Lynn before him and spoke angrily.

Realizing that all his defenses were futile, Hattar, who had been tolerant for a long time, finally tore off his disguise and unleashed all the rage in his heart.

Over a year ago, when he had first ascended to the throne of Hadrata, Hattar was completely immersed in the excitement of having great power, even feeling that without the church's restraint, he could certainly expand his horizons and establish an empire no less significant than that of his father, King Bazzer!

However, such excitement lasted less than a month. Hattar quickly found that as a new king, he had absolutely no power. Many nobles, merchants, and palace officials were like loyal dogs, eagerly pleasing the new rulers of the kingdom—the Wizards of the council.

Every decree he issued was secretly sent to the Wizard Council. Hattar's meticulously planned expansion of 100,000 troops was outright rejected by the council for various far-fetched reasons!

Because of the aggressive onslaught of the church and the fear of the Wizards' magic, Hattar felt humiliated but did not show it openly.

He even comforted himself secretly, thinking that after repelling the church's offensive and reclaiming the kingdom's territories, the Wizards, lacking administrative capabilities, would definitely need to rely on his power as the king and the nobles to manage the vast kingdom!

However, the reality was completely contrary to his expectations. After reclaiming the eastern territories of the kingdom, the Wizards took it upon themselves to slaughter the local nobles and took these lands for themselves, leaving him, the king, only a so-called report after the fact!

This was an absolute disgrace!

The audacity to dismiss it with a flippant remark about pleasant cooperation!

What terrified Hattar even more was that these Wizards from overseas seemed capable of managing the territories without any need for their help, creating a new system of governance that differed from the previous feudal system!

This undoubtedly threatened the foundation of the kingdom!

Hattar's hysterical roar did not anger Lynn; instead, he looked at the king of Hadrata with disappointment.

No wonder Bazzer II delayed appointing a crown prince.

How could someone of such temperament, shrewdness, and magnanimity ever make a good king!

Lynn waited for Hattar's berating to end, and then he spoke calmly.

"You are mistaken, there is no territory that truly belongs to anyone, Hattar!"

"Just over a year ago, you were merely snatching the crown from your father Bazzer's head, and this so-called kingship was nothing more than something your ancestors took from the previous king a hundred years ago!"

"Since you are not suited to bear the responsibilities of a king, there's no need for you to continue any longer..." Lynn stepped forward, speaking indifferently.
