Lawrend opened his eyes and saw a pair of eyes staring at him.

"A-Amene?"

Amene was sitting on top of him as she stared at him intently.

"Nyaa~ We haven't succeeded."

"Succeeded in what?" Lawrend asked in confusion.

"Feli will be upset if I didn't get pregnant-nyaa," Amene said.

"Oh…"

Lawrend remembered Feli's wish. She wanted Amene and Lawrend to have a baby.

Ever since they left the capital city, Lawrend and Amene tried many times to conceive, but due to unexplainable reasons, Amene never conceived.

It confused Lawrend, but he wasn't worried. They have a lot of time.

"I'm sure she would understand," Lawrend said to her.

"But… Don't you want to do it-nyaa?" Amene asked as she stared straight into his eyes.

She was telling him that she was ready.

"*Cough*"

Lawrend heard a cough and turned his head to the side. He saw Aezel standing beside him.

"Master, the various families and clans in the capital city are starting to express their dislike for you," Aezel said.

"Hm?"

Lawrend raised an eyebrow.

"Most likely, they will cooperate with outsiders to deal with you," Aezel elaborated.

"Amene, move."

Amene was sad. She could only follow his words and stand beside Aezel.

"How will they deal with me? I'm already the king, and I have a lot of backers like Clova."

He doesn't think that they would win. He never heard any of the families having a Grand Mage powerhouse at this time. They will just invite disaster into them.

"Fufufu. Do you want me to destroy those that are thinking to betray you?"

Considering Aezel's strength, it shouldn't be hard for her to do so. She only needed to send someone to investigate, and the rest would be history, literally.

"Hmmm… Don't. It will cause unrest in the capital city. I don't want to forcefully rule the kingdom."

There will be no point leaving his descendants as this kingdom's Royal Family if the people don't recognize them. Sooner or later, they would be overthrown. Either by an outside power or by someone who rose up through the ranks.

"What do you think we should do, Master?"

"Besides that, what did the various cities say?"

Before deciding what he should do with the clans and families, he still needed to know if his preparation earlier worked.

"Lanika City, Sheron Port City, Sorba Port City, Passage City, and Star Tail City all immediately expressed their willingness to be ruled by you," Aezel said.

These cities were all the ones that Lawrend personally prepared. With all of them expressing such willingness, it was hard for the other cities to resist. After all, each of the cities relies on each other.

"Then Undrasil Foot City, which is right in the middle of the capital city and Star Tail City, expressed their willingness after hearing the news," Aezel continued.

Since the city was right in-between the two cities, it was inevitable that it would be swallowed up. The City Lord knew that there was no point resisting, so they didn't dare to resist.

If Lawrend sends a team of Arch Mages to capture the city, the City Lord would not be able to keep his current position. There was even a greater chance that he would be killed.

"Which of the clans and families are dissatisfied with me?" Lawrend asked.

He needed to consolidate his power. If he allowed them to run rampant, the kingdom up north might get some ideas and plant some spies in the kingdom.

If they succeeded, the kingdom's foundation would fall, and chaos would ensue. They would likely take advantage of that chaos to swallow some territory of the kingdom.

"The Rubrignis Clan, the Juniver clan, and the Kile clan," Aezel replied.

The Rubrignis clan was the same clan that red-headed guy that challenged Lawrend to a duel was from. They were a bunch of arrogant Fire Mages that thought no one was on their level except the other two clans.

The Juniver clan was one of the top three clans. It stood at the top with the Rubrignis clan and the Grey clan. Together, they provide most of the mages in the capital city.

As for the Kile clan, they were a part of the top 10 clans. A long time ago, they were also a part of the top three clans, but they slowly fell with the passage of time. Now, the Kile clan has big ambitions.

They wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rise up again. After all, a weakened tiger would not lose its ambitions.

"What about the other clans?"

"They are neutral, and only a few extended their hands to cooperate with us," Aezel replied.

There were many clans in the capital city due to its size. All of them knew that they had no power to resist, so they simply didn't dare to.

"This is a headache. Didn't I already tell them that I would not change the policies set up by the previous king?"

Lawrend rubbed his temples in stress. He didn't expect them to hate him so much.

"Sister Humility said that it must be because they think that the empire would sooner or later take back the kingdom," Aezel replied.

The mages and swordsmen in the city knew who the king was. They never saw his head or anything. There was a huge chance that he would make a comeback.

This is also why the various clans were neutral. They were waiting for the development that would happen in the next few days.

"*Sigh* When will they arrive? I have already occupied their capital city. If I can kill the previous king, they should be convinced," Lawrend said.

Their calculations should be right. The previous king would return at this time.

"Master!"

The door opened, and Aleshia walked inside with a face full of worry.

"What's going on?" Lawrend asked.

"They're here!"

Speaking of the devil, they arrived.

Lawrend smiled and stood up from the bed.. Time to kill a King.
