C18 Chapter 18

Ava Capital, Luo Zhen City

The evening sky was orange, and the setting sun shone on the pure white walls, illuminating the whole city with the elegance of a blooming rose.

This was the most beautiful place in the Ava Country, and at the same time, the center of politics. The four seasons of the year were like spring, and it was precisely here that the sixth official successor, King Ava, Sa Kelan and Luo Min En, was residing. Unlike Chakrone, Ava was not necessarily born from the same surname, and besides Luo Min En, there was also Vilde, Janvis, and Kranlanzhi.

The five leaders with surnames sat around the round table. Right in the middle of them was their supreme king, the 56-year-old King Ava. He was wearing this mask as he sat among them.

"This is the fifth time this year. The family of Denise has been sent to the Northern Wasteland. What kind of crimes did they commit?"

Matt, Janvis, who was at the side, quickly replied, "Isn't it that 'they are conspiring against you'?"

"Janvis, what qualifications do you have to act arrogantly here? Your right-hand man can't even kill a single Barbarian Clan, and he's in a miserable state of death." Hawken Lanya retorted, unwilling to be outdone.

"This... It's because of the despicable sneak attack that the other party would act this way. Otherwise, how could a mere Barbarian Clan defeat our country's nobles? Since you guys are so amazing, why don't you send someone to kill Galen's Hites instead! "

"Me!" Before he could push her back, the quiet Xiudufi suddenly spoke up.

"Speak less, both of you. How much embarrassment would you be willing to make in front of His Majesty? Please have some self-respect. "

In less than half a second, King Ava finally opened his mouth to resolve the deadlock. "I'm sure that all of you have a lot of misunderstandings against me, but please be assured that all of this is to stabilize the nation's heart and strengthen our country's essential screening process. As long as you follow my footsteps, Goddess Ava will be at our side."

Wang Lin finally spoke, but strangely, the voice of Wang Mu, who was already over a hundred years old, was still that of a child who had just stepped into a youth, but his tone was extremely steady.

This group of ministers were already used to it. It was said that those chosen by the goddess would become demigods, and in addition to their immortal bodies, they would also immediately return to their youth. Because of this living example, the people of the entire country were convinced.

But this time, the king was not like the past. Not only did he put on a mask shortly after he ascended the throne, he even expelled all those who doubted his actions. Although he did not directly kill them, the exiled noble lord was either depressed, or gave up on his own accord, or even had a god's concealment?

After a long period of time like this, Ava People began to split up. Not only did King Ava not deal with this problem by ignoring it, it was probably those few excuses that people asked him about. It was also not a long term solution.

"Since Your Majesty has such doubts between the nobles, why don't we find a time to publicize it? How's His Majesty's current appearance?"

"You actually want His Majesty to take off his mask in front of everyone! Why must the noble Emperor explain to those foolish people, why does he wear a mask? "

The standard ass-kick-ass only wants to please King Ava will be Diman Janvis's death indifferent.

Facing Matt's accusation, Xiu De continued without a care, "That's right, even the commoners have to give them a reassurance. Don't forget, Goddess Ava is a goddess of love, her spokesperson must also have the spirit of great love."

After being said by Xiu De, King Ava spoke again, "This is also a good idea. Xiu De Gufei will decide the time."

He didn't expect to answer so easily. He looked at King Ava in shock. If it was that easy, then why was it so mysterious before?

He stood up and bowed respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty. This humble subject will do as you say immediately."

Once he was sure, King Ava stood up, turned around and left the other three people. He stood up at the same time and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

When King Ava left Matt, he immediately started to criticize Xiu De. "Mind your own business, be careful not to anger your own body."

"In any case, I'll get it over with. It's better than always quarreling with people who only know how to mess around."

He did not say a word, and Verdey joined in the scolding.

After finishing his sentence, he left the meeting as well. He had a feeling of unease in his heart, as he hoped that all of this was because of his overthinking.

​

Not long after they disbanded, Sa Kelan returned to his study room. Not long after he closed the door, he started to mutter to himself, "Mia …" "Mia …" He had passed through another door, and behind the curtain was a woman with brown hair. Her face was thin and listless like a puppet's, and she sat in a delicate chair, and the room was full of ornaments, and the walls of the jeweled gold room were full of pictures of goddesses to him. These goddesses were all dead, and only the people in front of him were living and tearful goddesses. I hate meetings. None of those four people cared for me, and they all said people's cries. Today, that Hugh Fei actually asked me to take off my mask, how could I take it off? I won't let them find out … "Actually, I am!"

Halfway through his words, another youth slowly walked out from behind the curtain.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will take care of this matter." The voice of the teenager was exactly the same as Sa Kelan's, who was in the meeting room. Sa Kelan's voice became hoarse from entering the room.

He turned his head around in displeasure and said, "Why did you agree to him? You clearly know that I … …"

The youth laughed coldly, "Of course His Majesty wants to accept it. If he refuses it then it will attract suspicion. If he wants to turn the matter into me, it's because we don't want to make it public. It's because he can't do it."

"What do you mean?" Sa Kelan had a puzzled expression.

He was a shadow of the current King Ava, Utia Kenya, he was famous in Ava Country and was born not long ago. At the age of three, he was already able to think like an adult, thus he was faked death by King Ava fourteen years ago when he was brought to the city for fourteen years, he would never leave the castle. When people asked about him being a waiter, Sa Kelan would say that he was the one who had handled political affairs during these fourteen years. Strictly speaking, he was no longer a king. He was just an ordinary man.

It was because of this that Utia, Kenya, was willing to be a shadow here, because he had admitted that he was the real King Ava in his heart. To put it bluntly, Ava Country was a country ruled by a man who was infatuated with women and a self-assuming youth.

"What are you going to do this time?" There had been many previous attempts to distance himself from the nobles, which might not have been possible for Xiu De. He was a man of honor and everyone knew that he was a surname representative before the age of thirty. If he was suddenly convicted in a meeting, no one would believe him.

Then, we shall first use the excuse of settling the Luoyin Town to move his relatives to the border, and then dispatch people to get rid of him. In the end, said that it was the Barbarian Clan that framed the crime, and we will also send troops to suppress the most recent rampage of the Barbarian Clan at the western border.

Sa Kelan had no choice but to listen to Utia's suggestion. He stood up and replied, "Then I'll leave it to you. I know you won't let me down."

"Yes, your majesty's subordinate, Utia, will not disappoint your majesty's expectation and complete the mission smoothly."

After confirming this, Sa Kelan looked towards the window and saw a white rose stuck into the simple pottery. He narrowed his eyes in annoyance, "Is it her again?"

"Yes, Princess Jingji just came to visit the empress."

Upon hearing the name of the princess, Sa Kelan's face became even more twisted. "Take it and throw it away!"

He nodded his head and walked towards the window. He removed the pottery gently and walked out of the room. He muttered to himself, "I can't express my resentment towards the princess. I can only reply with indifference. How pathetic …"

"About that …" A faint sound came from behind him.

He turned around and looked at the girl who was a head shorter than him. Although she had a slightly frightened look on her face, she couldn't match up to the beauty of heaven and the beauty in front of her. Princess Jingji was so attractive that it was hard to imagine her being so attractive at the age of twelve.

Of course, this was the same for him as well. He half-knelt and greeted with a smile, "Good day Princess."

"You're excused." She looked uneasily at the white rose in her hand. "What happened to the flower?"

Realizing her uneasiness, he quickly calmed himself down. "His Majesty is very happy with the rose that the princess has sent to me. I am currently in the process of exchanging water for the flower's longevity."

That's right, this flower was just like the princess in front of him. She would ruthlessly pluck it at the most beautiful moment, but he wished that the person who pluck this flower was himself.

Heaven knows how long he would stay by the side of the rapidly decaying king king, furthermore, this king had long been uncared for by Goddess Ava, if he wanted to turn things over, he had to take advantage of this moment. He had to do the matters of Barbarian Clan well, he could not be a shadow for his entire life.

When she heard that the attendant in front of her was replying to her in such a manner, the unease she felt just now disappeared in an instant. Jingji revealed a smile and replied, "I'll be troubling you then."

It was because she heard this that the knot in her heart was slightly relieved. Her royal father had always disliked her being like this ever since she had become sensible, but she knew very well that because her father was busy with political affairs, she could not be willful. She was the princess of this country.
