Final Lord

Chapter 359 Final Confirmation!
I have truly betrayed my country!

These words struck like a thunderbolt. Pietro staggered back half a step, his sword striking the tea table with a piercing metallic sound.

Even Charles, who had been in a daze, suddenly looked up, his amber eyes churning with turbulent emotions. Both of them held their breath simultaneously, the air seemingly freezing in that instant.

“Lord Kate… what do you mean by that?” Pietro’s voice was broken. He mechanically turned to look at the equally shocked Charles, then stiffly turned back, like a puppet struck by lightning.

Wang Bufu calmly adjusted his cuffs, his smile growing even deeper: "It means exactly what it says."

His fingertips tapped lightly on the table, each tap seeming to strike the taut nerves of the two visitors. "I have indeed betrayed the Principality of the Bucks—and I have betrayed it completely, with no intention of returning."

"Lord Kate!" Before Charles could speak, Pietro exclaimed in shock, "You should think twice! The power behind you is definitely stronger than you expect, perhaps even stronger than our entire Duchy of the Bucks."

But our Buck Duchy is not just a small country. Behind our Buck Duchy is the Eagle Kingdom, and behind the Eagle Kingdom is the Dawn Empire!

Your betrayal of our Stag Duchy is a small matter, but if the Eagle Kingdom or even the Dawn Empire gets involved, then this will be a much bigger problem.

“I know. But so what? What can I do?” Wang Bufu casually shrugged and said, “Since I made this decision, I certainly knew the consequences. Don’t worry, I’m not some country nobleman who knows nothing about the world situation.”

"Then what exactly do you mean?" Pietro's voice trembled slightly, and his fingertips unconsciously dug into his palm.

His gaze lingered on Wang Bufu's composed face, as if trying to confirm whether he had misheard something.

Faced with the still incredulous Pietro, Wang Bufu gently put down his teacup, the crystal cup touching the sandalwood table with a crisp "ding".

A hint of reminiscence flickered across his relaxed brows, yet a sharp, sword-like smile played on his lips.

"Let me explain." His voice was calm and measured, yet carried an undeniable authority.
"I want to establish a new nation, just like the first Bucks king did."

On the most desolate borderlands, draw your sword against the chaotic land! In the name of order, conquer chaos and forge a new world from nothing!

"What?!"

Pietro's head buzzed as if struck by a heavy hammer. He staggered back half a step, his back slamming against the cold pillar.

The epic tales he had read at the Tactical Academy suddenly came alive in his mind.

Believe it or not, there is theoretically a possibility.

Pietro was shocked to discover this.

With Kate as the rightful ruler of humanity and the support of those mysterious powerful figures, it's not a pipe dream for her to expand her territory in the chaotic lands without touching the core interests of the Dawn Empire.

He could truly gain the recognition of the Dawn Empire and establish a new duchy or even a new kingdom!
But this kind of thing!
Such things were epic feats that only existed in books in Pietro's mind!

All the carefully prepared speeches, various negotiation scenarios, and even the worst-case scenario of armed conflict that he had considered before coming here, he never imagined that he would be facing a madman who intended to establish a new dynasty!
asshole!

This is not what we imagined. Shouldn't it be a story of heroes being exonerated, returning in triumph to the embrace of the Principality of Bucks, and working together to revitalize the country?
Why did this happen? What is he supposed to say about this?
All his confidence comes from the Principality of the Bucks, but they've already stepped outside of the Principality of the Bucks!

The shocked Pietro didn't notice that Prince Charles's expression beside him had completely changed. Like him!
so similar!
How could they be so alike!

If before it was just about appearance and presence, now it's even about personality.

They share the same love for surprises, the same foresight, and the same arrogance!
In Charles's eyes, Kate Gru had completely overlapped with the image in his memory.

Could it be that... could it be that...

Although there's only a one in a billion chance, what if that chance actually comes true?
“I completely understand what you mean.” Charles’s voice trembled with barely concealed emotion, and his amber pupils contracted slightly.

He instinctively gripped the sword at his waist, his knuckles turning white from the force.

“Lord Kate, please believe me, the Duchy of the Stags has no intention of being your enemy. On the contrary—” He took a deep breath, his gilded riding boots taking a half-step forward, “we are willing to provide support in any form.”

The young prince's Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "Since you have decided to establish a new dynasty, you must have a detailed plan for its founding. I wonder if you could let us know a little about it?"
Especially regarding territorial planning... will it border the Bucks?

“Of course.” Wang Bufu’s lips curled slightly as his slender fingers reached into his collar and pulled out a sheepskin map that gleamed with a faint blue luster!
He unfolded the map and pointed his index finger at it like a sword's edge:
"Starting from the Sunset Mountains in the east—reaching the Crimson Snow Forest in the west—backed by the White Cloud Mountains in the north—and bordering the Sunken Coast in the south—"

Wang's voice was firm and powerful:
"The entire region covers 8.6 million square kilometers."

Wang Bufu's voice, like a morning bell breaking the dawn, declared, "The kingdom will be named 'Bufu,' and the capital will be..."

Wang Bufu slammed his fingertips heavily onto the huge swamp in the center of the map.

"A deathly still wetland!"

"hiss--"

Pietro's body swayed slightly, and Charles suddenly leaned back.

Two gasps of astonishment echoed through the lord's hall.

Pietro was shocked by the king's audacity, while Charles was shocked by something else entirely.

This location, this size... isn't this the Elf Empire from my past life?!

The name of the country? I disagree!
They defy Heaven, Earth, and the gods! They dare to raise their swords against the gates of the divine realm!
The chosen ones, the cream of the crop. An example for countless beings. An incredible legend. Undefeated in every battle, the ultimate war god who reigns supreme over the world. An arrogant figure who ushered in an era and then brought it to a close!
Charles was a king in his previous life, but he refused to submit to the throne!
It really is you! Your Majesty!!! Your Majesty has returned from the realm of the gods, and even reversed time?!

Could it be that my rebirth is because of the king?
Charles's pupils dilated in shock; he was absolutely certain. Coincidence? To hell with coincidences! Kate Gru is my queen!
At this moment, Charles wished he could bend his knees and kneel directly in front of Wang Bufu, hug his legs and wail loudly, telling him about his longing for him and the bitterness he had suffered since his rebirth.

But no, Pietro is still here.

This thing is in the way.

Charles took a deep breath, pressed down hard on Pietro's shoulder, and said, "Teacher Pietro, could you go out for a moment and close the door behind you?"
