Lorne looked at the excited and panicked looks of everyone. He expected that his words had scared them, but he did not mind.

After Kyle took a few deep breaths, he managed to suppress his surging emotions.

He forced himself to keep his voice calm and asked, “Boss, is it really that serious? After all, the previous king has already been abdicated. Even though he’s been in the palace for a long time, I don’t think he thinks about ascending the throne again… right?”

Lorne waved his hand.

“It is indeed unlikely as the fundamental reason is that the previous king has already lost his position. There is no possibility of him ascending the throne again.

“Even so, the current king removed Litt from his official position thousands of miles away in order to completely cut off the thoughts of the previous king, even if it was just a glimmer of hope! Only by doing so can he protect his throne and his son, this is the duty of the current king that he has to uphold in order to protect his family!

“Forever cutting off the possibility of a father and son fighting against each other is the best protection for the former and current king, and also the greatest act of honor.

“I’m sure that is was what the current king had in mind. After saying all this, I’m sure all of you would all understand, right?”

Kyle’s mind was a mess. His original thoughts were completely disrupted. To be honest, he really did not expect this level of consideration as a king. Originally, he planned to exile Litt only because this guy had committed a crime. At the same time, Litt has lost a lot of influence in the palace, so the king simply kicked him away.

He did not expect that by accident, he actually made an honorable decision. Although the former King Bidas was put under house arrest because of his mutiny, it was not a simple decision to make. However, his father had fought hard to conquer the huge Lolan Empire. If Bidas did decide the re-take the throne, would it be really that difficult knowing the power he used to hold over his people?

Therefore, once the former King Bidas was given a chance, the founding King of the Lolan Empire might really have a two-army confrontation with his son, Kyle, and a palace coup.

Back then, Kyle had already killed two of his brothers due to certain circumstances. If he were to fight his father to the death, he would really not be able to live with such a thing.

In the end, Kyle decided to not live that ruthless and mercilessly. Therefore, although it was unexpected, Lorne’s words undoubtedly comforted the king’s actions and strengthened his heart.

Litt should be exiled, and it would be best if he never came back!

…

The more his mind churned, the more he felt a lingering fear. In the end, although he had fought for so many years, sometimes it felt like it was for naught. He had been the Second Prince for countless years, and had honed his skills on the throne for only two years. However, some of his ideas were still not mature enough, and some of his political tactics were not that powerful.

In comparison, the young man — who was much younger than him — seemed to have methods that were more suitable and a mentality that was much more powerful than his.

He really did not know how he had cultivated such deep political wisdom. It was even more skillful than when he had personally experienced it as the king.

After ruminating in his thoughts for a while, Kyle could not help but sigh.

“As expected, the royal family is truly full of mysteries. It’s difficult for ordinary people to ever comprehend it in their entire lives. I finally understand it now.

“Thank you for answering my question today. Otherwise, I wouldn’t’ve been able to understand the king’s foresight.”

Lorne patted Kyle on the shoulder.

“In fact, the royal family matters, and the king’s mind tricks could easily be seen just like that. If you used your brain a little bit more, you too will be able to understand something as easy as this.

“Old friend, you’re just a little slow-witted. There is nothing strange about that. In the future, you could learn from me when you have the opportunity. This way, you’ll be able to understand these things sooner or later.”

When Kyle heard Lorne’s words, the corner of his mouth could not help but twitch.

What did he mean by his brain was a little slow-witted?

He was a dignified king, the ruler of a country, how dare he say that he was actually said to be slow-witted.

It felt humiliating and a great hatred grew in him!

However, the next second, Lorne’s words instantly attracted Kyle’s attention.

“In fact, for the current king, the existence of the previous king is still a very difficult problem. It’s not so easy to deal with it. If the king ever stood in front of me today, I would have a brilliant plan that I could offer to him.

“Unfortunately, such a good plan wouldn’t be of much use if I told you guys about it.”

There was a flash in Kyle’s eyes. He almost stood up and patted his chest, saying that he was the current king. He was astounded as to how Lorne could so easily read his mind. After the analysis just now, knowing how the previous king, Bidas, could have possibly taken back the throne, made the potential threat immediately magnified several times by Kyle. He was now troubled and did not know how to properly resolve it.

He wanted to protect this father and son relationship, but he could not allow his power to be overthrown by his father either.

The balance between the two sides was very difficult to grasp. One bad move could lead to the whole situation moving in another direction. Therefore, when Lorne suddenly said that he had a good plan. It was enough to make Kyle feel energized all of a sudden.

If Lorne said that it was a brilliant plan, then it must have a rather powerful effect. It would definitely not be a bluff.

After all, everyone had witnessed the ‘magic’ that Lorne could pull off. There was no doubt about it.

Knowing this, Kyle immediately cupped his hands to Lorne and said with a smile on his face.

“Boss, why don’t you tell us what kind of a brilliant plan it is? We can tell you if it’s a good idea or not.”

As for what he just said about great humiliation and hatred, it had long been forgotten by Kyle.

Humiliation? Hatred? These words have never ever been written in Kyle’s dictionary. It was better to look at the more practical side of things rather than the emotional side after all!

Lorne glanced at Kyle, Andrew, and Rosen who were all looking at him expectantly.

He let out a long sigh.

“What a pity that such a brilliant plan would only be shared between you guys. Pour the wine! I’ll tell you all next time when I’m in the mood.”

When Rosen was about to reach out for the wine jar, Kyle immediately stopped him. Then, he took the wine jar and poured a full glass for Lorne instead.

“Boss, please!”

Lorne finished the wine in the glass in one gulp and stood up.

“Actually, the solution to ease the conflict between the current king and the former king is really simple!”
