Lafeier's words left people confused. It could be seen from the inquiring gaze of Old King that he wanted to know what Lafeier meant.
But Lafeier did not explain it to him and went on to say, "It's not only emperors who can be heartless since ancient times."
"But I'm the person closest to him in this world. We should have fought side by side and supported each other, not as rivals. How could he bear to make a move against me?" A trace of sadness flashed through Lafeier's eyes, but it disappeared very quickly.
He pushed his glasses up and then smiled. The smile under his glasses gave people a harmless, pure feeling. Then in a flash it gave people a feeling that he was extremely deceitful, as if he had two different personalities.
This smile reminded Old King of something. It made him think of Lafeier's earlier mystifying words.
Old King seemed to have realized something. He stared at Lafeier in astonishment and said haltingly, "You...La...Fei...Er...Hua...Wu...De."
Old King's mouth was full of food. He moved his mouth with difficulty and spoke unclearly word by word. It was completely inaudible.
But Lafeier guessed what he was saying and smiled as he corrected him, "Wrong, I'm not him."
Old King's pupils suddenly contracted. He looked at Lafeier incredulously.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm still alive, not a ghost," said Lafeier as he put down his bowl and stood up.
"Alright, I have to go check on the others. I can't keep you company anymore. Don't worry about them. You will reunite soon."
He then took a look around the luxurious bedroom.
"Just lie here and take a good last look at this place. It will soon change hands. Oh right, also think it over carefully."
"After all, if you cooperate, you and your family will reunite faster of course. But whether you cooperate or not isn't important."
After saying this, Lafeier left Old King's bedroom.
Kala was anxiously pacing back and forth in the room. She looked at Karina, who was pale and sitting in a wheelchair. She wanted to comfort her but felt helpless.
Not wanting to wait for their doom, she tried to do something. So she attempted to open the door again.
But like the previous attempts, the soldiers guarding the door stopped her. They simply didn't allow them to take half a step out of the room.
Kala looked at the guns on their waists and had to retreat back into the room. Kala was soft-tempered but Karina was quite tough.
Karina pushed her own wheelchair over and charged towards the exit.
A soldier pointed his gun at her forehead.
Karina angrily rebuked, "How dare you! I'm the most honourable princess of the royal family. Do you know what will happen if you disrespect me?"
Soldier: "Go back if you don't want to die."
Kala was scared and wanted to pull her sister Karina back.
Karina said, "This is the palace, my home. Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that! Where's Lafeier? How long does that old guy plan to keep us locked up? Tell that old man to come see me!"
"And where's my father? My father is the King. How dare you rebel and detain the King! That's punishable by execution of your whole clan!"
"By my order, go and bring that old guy Lafeier here! Are you deaf?"
"Princess Karina is looking for me? Such anger, don't get so worked up that it damages your health. Your old wound hasn't healed yet, and new injuries on top of that would not be good."
Lafeier suddenly appeared, showing the concern of an elder for a junior, a subject for his master. But those who knew the inside story felt it was hypocritical.
As soon as Karina saw Lafeier, she wished she could shred him into ten thousand pieces, drink his blood and gnaw his bones, and it still wouldn't be enough to vent her hatred.
"Lin Guli won't let this go. The Lin family also has considerable influence in Hua Country. Lafeier, you're asking for trouble."
"At least your wishful thinking of smoothly ascending the throne won't happen as you wish. Just you wait!" Karina clenched her fists tightly.
Hearing this, Lafeier just smiled, "Lin Guli? Don't tell me you're really expecting him to come back and help you?"
Karina: "What do you mean?"
Lafeier's smile gradually deepened, "So naively adorable, my Princess Karina." Lafeier raised his hand and pointed upwards, "Those two uncle and nephew have already reunited in heaven."
Karina was stunned, "What?"
Kala's breath hitched, "...You killed him?"
Lafeier said, "It's a pity. Lin Guli died without ever knowing how Lin Cheng died and what happened here. None of this will be passed back to Hua Country."
"No one will come to rescue you, my dear Princess Karina. If you obediently listen, the position of future Queen will still be yours. We will become a family. But if you don't listen, I'll send you to your fiancé to reunite."
Lafeier didn't linger here long.
Because he suddenly remembered something very important.
That was that the assassin he had sent to kill Lin Guli had not sent any news back to him about success or failure.
It had already been a day.
Lafeier's words left people confused. It could be seen from the inquiring gaze of Old King that he wanted to know what Lafeier meant.
