Chapter 846 The Absolute Authority
The common folks gasped hard upon hearing Lith's statement and thought of him to be a dead man.
They were just the everyday folks and didn't know how the nobility was, nor their ways of chivalry.
While everyone was gasping, the King looked at Lith with interest and rubbed his beard while the Queen seemed slightly concerned for Lith's wellbeing.
"My liege, please pardon that man's insolence and ignorance." The blue-haired Queen said softly, not wanting to see bloodshed for unnecessary reasons.
King Nishkavert, after thinking of things deeply, looked at Lith with the same interested look as before and said, "You can get killed for your arrogant words, peasant."
"Peasant?" Lith replied back immediately and then chuckled.
Never once had been called in such a manner and never once had he or anyone in his own kingdom referred to the common folks in such a way.
This truly went on to show how better people were treated back at home and why they were so happy with the current administration.
In any case, being called a peasant for the first time, Lith smiled and lightly pressed on his shoulder and stretched.
The air around him turned heavy with such a gesture, making Solina and Milia to shudder.
What made them shudder like that, they couldn't really tell as they didn't expect Lith to be the source of their primal instinct of fear to bloom up.
The King however, as he saw Lith, his eyes shimmered with slight excitement. The aura that Lith was giving off felt powerful and he couldn't wait to have this young peasant initiate a stupid move that could have him executed on the spot.
"What do you think you're trying to do, peasant?" The King tried to provoke Lith again. "If you kneel down and ask for forgiveness now, I'll pretend this never happened and you shall be pardon—"
BOOOOOOOM!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe entire royal box was smashed to bits in the very next instant, causing debris to storm off everywhere and the crowd to gasp in horror.
Solina and Milia widened their eyes in shock too and immediately ran to go protect their Master who may have gotten into the line of explosion.
Dust cloud erupted in this particular spot of the arena and the people began screaming as the very place where the royalties were, got destroyed.
As the dust cleared, what the people saw next made them freeze on their spots.
Solina and Milia's case was similar as well and they didn't take a single inch closer to the now destroyed royal box.
"T-T-That… How can that happen!?" Someone cried out in the crowd.
"How is that possible!?"
"Am I dreaming or something? Please tell me I'm dreaming…"
Many were in disbelief and couldn't process the thing that lay in front of their eyes.
Right at the place of the destroyed royal box, there sat the gentle looking Queen.
There was not a single particle of dust on her and it was as if an explosion had never occurred before.
However, the thing she was sitting on and the thing that sat on her, that was what made everybody so shocked.
The blue-haired beauty was currently sitting on a human chair with that human being none other than King Nishkavert himself!
King Nishkavert's face was swollen and the area around his eyes had gotten black and blue, indicating how badly he was beaten up.
His body seemed to be in a rough state as well and his hands were struggling to be still as he lay on all fours.
On top of his back was the Queen, possessing an absolutely horrified look on her doll-like face while on the pretty lady's lap, there was Lith sitting and sipping on tea, as if nothing was wrong.
Nobody had any idea what to say anymore and they were all far too shocked to think straight.
Being as calm as ever, Lith took a sip of tea and said softly, "Kneel."
Even though he had said it so softly, everybody could hear him loud and clear in this giant colosseum and immediately began kneeling.
Nobody had any idea as to why they did such a thing, but at present, this thing instinctively felt the right thing to do and they followed it.
Everyone, from a small child to an old man, every single person in the arena had knelt down with just a single command from Lith.
This was the power held by an absolute authority. No matter where Lith went, the fact that he was at the absolute top of the food chain would never change. Add to that his natural state of being a ruler since birth was another thing that aided in this.
Having full control over such a big crowd and making them submit, Lith nodded in satisfaction.
He got up from the Queen's lap and made her get up as well.
Holding the King's hair and making him look up, Lith said calmly, "I'll give you an opportunity to correct everything, make use of it wisely."
Lith kicked the guy's chin with his toe and made him stand on both his feet, surprisingly in a stable manner. He then slapped the guy awake and began distancing himself for the duel while holding the Queen's hand.
The Queen could barely do anything and was more scared than usual to see such a thing happen right in front of her eyes.
For all she knew, a massive chaos was going to ensue with the throne being empty and things were definitely going to be problematic from here on.
The blue-haired lady's mind was fully occupied with worries in regards to her kingdom and there was nothing she could do to stop them.
Feeling her anxiousness while holding her, as Lith reached close to the kneeling Solina and Milia, he made them get up and said, "This girl's feeling down, cheer her up. Keep her occupied for the next one hour."
Slapping their buttocks, Lith continued, "Go. I want her to experience a high that'll make her forget everything."
With that, the three girls were away from Lith's vision while a haggard looking King was staring daggers at Lith from afar.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLith chuckled and said softly, "Get up all of you and see the might of your King."
People had no idea as to whom Lith was referring to as King. Was it to himself or King Nishkavert, they had no idea.
They all just took their seats and continued to watch the chaos unfold with breathless silence, all the while wondering as to what their fate would be for disrespecting Lith at the start.
Lith turned to look at King Nishkavert and gesturing to him to come, said with a smirk, "Try to last at least one round, Nishkavert."
…..
A/N: Since many are worried about Ning Xin Xue's case and are wondering whether she'll be in the harem as a wife or not, let me spoil you a bit and tell you, there's not much planning done in her case.
The future is uncertain as I am not the type of author to plan things beforehand and write.
I just introduce some elements and the story flows on its own, which is where I find writing to be fun.
I know just as much as you guys do, so there's no need to worry about anything really and feel that things are going south.
Trust me, the 's flow won't break and you'll continue to find new and fun things in future. Despite there being many degenerative and perverted things happening, I'm sure there would be nothing too extreme to tick you off since I personally like to be on the vanilla side and not stray off in the darker ones.
A good example of this could be the marriage arc, which in my personal opinion, although was really perverted, wasn't anything that contained cheating or anything non-vanilla.
So, if you could survive the marriage arc, trust me, you would be fine with everything that is yet to come.
The marriage arc was written in a way to overstimulate your perverted fantasies so that you don't find anything remotely above vanilla to be bad.
For example, if it wasn't there and had I introduced something remotely close to golden showers later, many would've been pissed and sent me death threats in my dms.
With the golden shower being placed in the marriage arc, people didn't find the later scenes to be overly bad and assumed it as normal, hence saving me some therapy sessions ;)
Jokes apart, I hope you get my point.
Please continue to show your support and let others know that this is still pretty vanilla, but with a more cultured touch, and ask them to not worry so much about getting their heart broken.
No girl leaves mc, no girl with good vibes will be forgotten, and the overall wholesome vibes of this slice of life fantasy will never be gone.
Have a good day and happy reading!
