Who taught him to restore the country like this

Chapter 169 Reasons
The two were still talking inside the room.

“Very good. Once I obtain the Lionheart and control the key figures of the Lionheart Kingdom, the Lionheart Kingdom will surely be thrown into chaos. At that time, the army of my Ziyang Kingdom can march straight in and take over the entire Lionheart Kingdom.”

"Your Highness is wise and powerful; you will surely become the ruler of the empire in the future," Duke Nick flattered.

"Hahaha, if this matter succeeds, Duke Nick, the hereditary succession and vast fiefdom you promised will be no less."

“It is my honor to serve Your Highness.” Duke Nick’s voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"By the way, Princess Laura, who ruined my plans before, didn't she find anything, did she?"

"Your Highness, rest assured, that foolish woman is behaving herself now in order to protect her sister," Duke Nick said with a smile.

"That's good. Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble at crucial moments."

"Yes."

"Tell me about the current defenses of the Lionheart Kingdom..."

……

Listening to the two people inside the room plotting against the Lionheart Kingdom, Princess Laura outside the door revealed anger and fear in her eyes, and her body trembled slightly.

As the conversation in the room was about to end, the maid gently placed her hand on the back of her hand, indicating that it was time for her to leave.

Laura pursed her lips, wishing she could rush in and kill the two of them right now.

But reason prevailed in the end, and Ron left the underground passage the way he came.

"Do you still want to fulfill the marriage contract?" the maid asked.

"Please give me two more days. On the wedding day, I will settle things with the Ziyang Kingdom!" Laura pleaded.

Upon hearing this, the maid stopped in her tracks.

"When did you find out?" she asked with a smile as she turned around.

"What...did you find?" Laura paused, then feigned ignorance.

“I set the time to ‘the eve of the wedding,’ but you just said you would have two days,” the maid said.

Laura was taken aback, realizing she had accidentally let something slip.

"When did you realize this wasn't real?" the maid asked again.

Laura paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Your intelligence is excellent; you've revealed many things they shouldn't know."

"It seems that actively interfering with dreams is really easy to see through," the maid said with a smile.

As she spoke, the surrounding environment quickly transformed into a warm and comfortable room.

The maid sat down on the sofa behind her and gestured to Laura to "please sit down".

After Laura sat down, she introduced herself: "Kong, this is my code name in Uncrowned."

Empty... an unfamiliar name. Laura had never heard of this person in The Uncrowned.

“Lola Fabian,” she replied, giving her name.

The ability to pull people into dreams... is not easy to deal with.

She could sense that if the other party didn't want her to leave, she would be trapped here forever.

"Don't be nervous. I only brought you into this dream to find out why you left the Uncrowned King," Ron said calmly. "Is it because you like the second prince of the Purple Sun Kingdom?"

“That’s impossible,” Laura immediately rejected.

"What is it for?" the maid asked.

"The Lionheart Kingdom has lost the Lionheart and cannot stabilize the turbulent situation. It is not advisable to fight the Purple Sun Kingdom; only an alliance is possible..."

“This is not the reason I want to hear, nor is it a reason for you to betray us,” Ron interrupted Laura’s wishful thinking.

Laura lowered her head.

“Let me explain. The Lionheart wasn’t lost; rather, the royal family used a secret method to integrate it into someone’s body, nurturing it with new flesh and blood, waiting for the right moment to activate its true form,” Ron said.

Laura's pupils narrowed.

really……

Wumian learned of this secret.

"Thirteen years ago, the Lionheart Kingdom was on the verge of destruction during its war against the Frostwing Kingdom. In the end, the Lionheart Kingdom summoned a powerful magical beast, defeated the Frostwing Kingdom's many strong warriors, and turned defeat into victory."

"But after that battle, the Queen of the Lionheart Kingdom, who had the blood of a holy descendant, died of a terminal illness."

In the setting of "God's Descent", the bloodline left behind by those who ascend to godhood has a very small chance of obtaining a bloodline close to that of the gods, that is, the bloodline of the saints.

Its fundamental attribute is that it is immune to all diseases.

The absurdity of deaths among the descendants of the saint is like that of fish drowning.

"Can I venture a guess that the Queen died because her lifespan was exhausted after activating the true form of the Lionheart?" Ron asked.

The bloodline of the Holy Descendants is like a furnace in the world of cultivation. Besides its own rapid cultivation speed, its greatest function is to nurture anything with the best results.

For example, the Great Demon Lilith asked Karina to nurture the Demon Stone.

Laura remained silent.

Ron's guess was correct.

This is also why she entered the magic capital to cultivate and severed ties with the royal family.

If it weren't for the uncrowned people coming to her door, she would never have used the identity of a princess again.

“You have a younger sister, right?” Ron continued.

“Besides your sister, there is nothing in the Lionheart Kingdom that is worth sacrificing yourself for your despicable brother.”

"He threatened you with your sister's safety? You are both of royal blood. No matter how much he threatens you, he would never kill his own sister. After all, if this got out, it would not be good for his succession to the throne."

"Unless he has some perfectly legitimate reason to kill his own sister."

Ron looked at Laura's hands, which were clenched into fists on her lap, and understood.

"It seems there really is such a reason."

“Let me think,” Ron pretended to ponder for a few seconds, then asked uncertainly, “Your sister didn’t also awaken the bloodline of the Holy One and have it integrated into the Lionheart, did she?”

Laura clenched her teeth.

Ron was right about everything.

The sacred bloodline, which is considered divine and has a very low probability of awakening, appeared one after another in her mother and sister.

This should have been a good thing, but for them, it was a misfortune.

Laura regretted it.

She regretted not staying in the palace to protect her younger sister as she grew up. It wasn't until the eldest prince threatened her with her sister's life that she learned her sister had awakened the bloodline of the saint.

It's too late to regret it now. My sister's body has already been infused with the heart of a lion by those beasts, and there's no way to undo it.

Even if she takes her sister away from the palace, that beast can still activate the Lionheart.

The only thing she can do now is to do as the eldest prince asks, to marry into the Ziyang Kingdom and prevent war from breaking out.

As long as the Lionheart Kingdom doesn't face a life-or-death crisis, my sister can live on.

“I sympathize with and understand your situation, but I don’t condone what you did,” Ron said, looking at Laura who had already submitted to her fate.

"What I just showed you wasn't just to deceive you. Every king has ambition, and that ambition will be amplified infinitely in the War of the Gods."

"Even if you compromise, you cannot achieve an alliance between the two countries. The Ziyang Kingdom will reveal its ambitions on the day of the alliance. This marriage is just a pretext."

"Do you think that with countless powerful figures from the Lionheart Kingdom present on the day of the alliance, no matter how ambitious the Purple Sun Kingdom is, it wouldn't choose that day to make its move?"

"Once the alliance is successfully signed, will the Purple Sun Kingdom obediently ally with the Lionheart Kingdom?"

“If you continue with this naive idea, you will only hasten the death of Lionheart Kingdom and your sister,” Ron declared unequivocally.

"Why are you telling me all this?" Laura frowned.

“Because the Lionheart Kingdom is full of fools except for you. I hope you will continue to strive to become king and stop the fourth war between the divine kingdoms,” Ron said calmly. “Please allow me to consider it,” Laura said after a moment of silence.

"Go ahead." Ron pointed to the door.

Laura stood up, bowed to Ron, and turned to leave.

"Oh dear, it seems I've heard some incredible information."

As Laura left the "room" and the door closed, a seductive yet slightly languid voice rang out.

On the sofa, the voluptuous succubus leaned against Ron, her fingers lightly tracing his chest.

"If you want to use this intelligence, feel free to use it. It would be best if you could steal the Lionheart of the Lionheart Kingdom," Ron said generously, removing the restless hand from his chest.

"How could anyone bear to steal His Majesty's things?" the succubus exhaled, her breath carrying an alluring fragrance.

“What’s mine can’t be taken away. What can be taken away isn’t mine,” Ron said.

"Then... what if I get stolen away?" the succubus asked in a coquettish tone.

“Please be mindful of your manners, sir of the Demon King’s army. We are merely partners,” Ron said, standing up.

Sabnia lost her balance and slumped onto the sofa, looking at Ron with an expression that said, "Your Majesty is so clueless about romance." She said, "I'm now a vassal of the Kingdom of Lah, I'm your person. Your Majesty is such a bad man, using me and then abandoning me."

This time, she brought Laura into the dream as a subordinate of the Kingdom of Lah.

Subordinates recognized by the royal family are allowed to intervene in the war between the divine kingdoms.

However, this is risky.

Once you participate in the war for the divine kingdom in a subordinate capacity, there is no such thing as withdrawing midway.

Participants in the War of the Gods can attack him at any time, and foreign ally will experience a significant drop in level after their allied nation is defeated and destroyed.

Therefore, the Lionheart Kingdom has reasons not to perish.

During this period, many members of the Uncrowned Kingdom participated in the war of the gods as subordinates of the Lionheart Kingdom. If the Lionheart Kingdom were to be destroyed, it would cause considerable losses to the Uncrowned Kingdom.

“If you’re one of my men, then I’m going to settle the score with you for messing with me last time.” Ron raised his fist, which was as big as a sandbag.

“His Majesty really holds a grudge.” Upon hearing this, Sabnir dared not tease Ron any longer.

Because she could clearly sense that Ron's strength had increased significantly after he came out of the divine realm, and he was no longer someone she could easily control.

Moreover, this straight man is completely immune to her temptations. If she doesn't rein herself in, she might actually get beaten up.

"Has Your Majesty decided when to visit the Demon King's Castle?" Sabnir asked.

“I’ll come after I finish what I’m doing here,” Ron said calmly.

"Your Majesty, hurry! With the capabilities of the three major churches, they will soon discover your collusion with the demons," Sabnir warned.

“Don’t worry about it.” Ron walked toward the door.

“Oh, right,” he said, walking to the door and turning back, “help me gather information on the movements of the other participants in the fourth War of the Gods.”

“You’re really not being polite,” Sabnir replied with a smile.

……

Thorn Territory, Silver City.

Laura slowly opened her eyes, sat up in bed, and stared blankly at the dress placed beside the bed, recalling what Ron had said.

The Kingdom of Purple Sun will attack the Kingdom of Lionheart on the day of the alliance...

She got up and walked to the window, looking at the vast courtyard with a lost expression.

She decided to spend the next two days thoroughly investigating whether there were any hidden traps in Silver City.

But she was also afraid that she might have actually discovered something.

I'm afraid that by then I won't even have the chance to do this one thing I can do for my sister.

……

time flies.

The time has come to the eve of the alliance between the two countries.

The envoys and nobles of the Ziyang Kingdom arrived in Silver City of Thorn Territory a day early to express their sincerity.

In the Lionheart Kingdom, some nobles who lived far away also arrived in Silver City in advance to make preparations.

Both sides' nobles were accompanied by one or two sixth-tier experts.

At this time, there were already more than 100 sixth-tier experts gathered in the city, and tomorrow both countries will each bring 3000 elite cavalry to guard the venue.

From the outside perspective, the sincerity shown by the two countries truly suggests an alliance that no one can stop.

Given this situation, who would dare to cause trouble tomorrow?

however……

In the hidden chamber of the Silver City Lord's Mansion, Duke Nick was receiving the second prince of the Purple Sun Kingdom, who had entered Silver City in disguise.

"How did things go?"

"Your Highness, rest assured, everything is prepared, it's just..."

"how?"

"Princess Laura seems to have discovered something; she has been investigating something throughout the city for the past two days."

Did she find out anything?

"No."

"Hmph, Laura, I'm looking forward to seeing your despairing expression tomorrow."

The second prince of the Ziyang Kingdom sneered, then took out a wooden box from his robes: "Take this, and remember, be discreet about it."

"Your Highness, please rest assured."

……

The alliance on that day.

Baiyin City was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, creating a festive atmosphere.

The largest square in Thorn Territory was temporarily transformed into a grand ceremony venue.

A scarlet carpet was laid on the high platform, with seats for representatives of the two countries and members of the royal family arranged on both sides.

Below, nobles from the Lionheart Kingdom and envoys from the Purple Sun Kingdom chatted amicably, seemingly filled with hopeful anticipation for the future.

Outside Silver City, three thousand elite cavalry from each of the two countries stood solemnly, serving as both a ceremonial guard and a silent deterrent.

A false sense of prosperity and tranquility permeated the air.

Laura, dressed in a gorgeous wedding gown, sat in her private lounge on one side of the platform, her expression revealing a hint of unease.

Her gaze swept across the crowd below the stage from time to time, as if she were searching for something.

Duke Nick, beaming with pride, moved among the guests, accepting their compliments.

The second prince of the Ziyang Kingdom appeared calm and composed, with a faint smile on his lips, responding to the congratulations from the nobles of both countries.

The eldest prince of the Lionheart Kingdom, as the regent's representative, sat in the main seat. Although he tried his best to maintain the dignity of the royal family, a hint of anxiety and a hidden dissatisfaction with Duke Nick could be seen between his brows.

The ceremony proceeded as planned.

Soon, the crucial moment arrived, and the officiant loudly read out the lengthy terms of the alliance, praising the vision of eternal friendship between the two nations.

"Please have the representatives of both countries exchange the credentials of the alliance!" The announcer's voice resounded throughout the square.

All eyes were focused on the center of the platform.

Duke Nick, holding the letter of credence from the Lionheart Kingdom, walked toward the second prince of the Purple Sun Kingdom with a broad smile on his face.

The second prince of the Ziyang Kingdom also picked up his own country's letter and stepped forward steadily.
