312,

"What?!"

Upon hearing Cyclone's words, the entire throne room erupted in commotion.

Finally, King Allen slapped the throne with one hand, causing a loud sound that silenced everyone.

"... "

No one spoke, it had become a habit in front of King Allen with his eyes closed.

Until the king finished his thoughts, everyone could only wait.

"Greed... that man who possesses a legendary-level summoning just like me..."

That's right, Cyclone heard that the little boy was strong, so he mentioned his name.

First, he was dead, and second, he had enough impact.

"He shouldn't be, didn't we hear that he is already dead? Daniel?"

Daniel was called out and had to step forward.

Daniel looked at Cyclone and then at King Allen.

"Yes, by a..."

"That's a lie!"

Suddenly, Cyclone interrupted Daniel's speech.

"You... have been deceived..."

"Is that so? How have we been deceived?"

King Allen asked.

Then, once again, Cyclone's answer caused a commotion.

"I deceived him, I even killed him myself, and I thought he was dead, but..."

Cyclone stood up and began explaining.

When I was at Riverbranch on the verge of death, I saw that person again, looking at me with eyes that wanted to kill, that sly expression. To be honest, I was scared. Maybe it's just an illusion..."

Cyclone spoke more and more truthfully, matching his hand movements, as if it were a real event.

"But now, I already have a wife, and in the future, I will have children, if things continue like this..."

Cyclone put on a worried expression, skillfully deceiving the crowd.

"Alright, alright, seriously, you've helped me conquer half the world, and you're still this timid!"

Almost, but King Allen still wasn't willing to grant Cyclone's request.

However, it was enough, Cyclone was well aware that even a king has times when they cannot refuse.

"Your Majesty, I think it would be better to grant Cyclone's request as a hero."

Besides King Allen, there were other ministers in the throne room.

Amidst the support of the people, King Allen also had moments of helplessness, let alone the fact that Cyclone's request was not excessive.

Just a simple plea for protection.

"Yes, Cyclone the hero has wholeheartedly dedicated himself to Allen City. If we cannot even protect his family, what kind of great nation are we?"

Upon hearing this, Cyclone discovered that it was the two people who had opposed him earlier.

I'm sorry about earlier~

Cyclone actually wanted to laugh at their different expressions from what he had expected.

After a moment of contemplation, King Allen finally spoke.

"Alright! I, the king, will grant your request, you fool, and I promise to protect your entire family!"

Finally, Cyclone completed the first level.

However, Daniel had already seen through everything.

The seemingly successful plan was to first get King Allen to promise to protect his wife, the witch.

But, Brother Cyclone, this is still not enough...

Daniel chose silence. He had other things to do and no reason to accompany Cyclone in his madness.

However, Daniel, who had anticipated everything, still felt heartache.

The person who fell into the language trap was not King Allen, but Cyclone himself.

After that incident, Daniel understood a fact.

Among the thrones, the person who understands Cyclone the most is not Daniel himself, but King Allen.

The relationship between the witch and Cyclone had actually started to spread rumors during the great battle.

Confronting the witch multiple times, why did Cyclone still survive? Could it be that King Allen truly believed Cyclone had some special ability?

It was already too late. The moment Cyclone decided to come back, his failure was determined.

Your Majesty is not someone who can be deceived with just a few words... Though this method easily gained Your Majesty's approval, it was also because of this that you couldn't save the witch.

Daniel silently took a step back.

Wife and witch are not the same. At this moment, Your Majesty agreed to the wife, not the witch. Even if you claim that the witch is your wife, the authority to establish this equation lies with Your Majesty, not you.

Glancing at Cyclone's back, Daniel then looked at the expression in King Allen's eyes.

Retreating into the crowd, Daniel kept his thoughts to himself.

In the end, if Your Majesty does not acknowledge that the witch is your wife, then everything you are doing now is futile. The person who fell into this language trap is none other than yourself...
