I’ll Come Clean! I Am The King Of Lolan Novel! - Chapter 69
Chapter 69: A Real Conspiracy!
Rosen and the others were slowly having a change of heart. They could not decide what to do with Lorne either.
It seemed that Lorne had become their outside assistance. Whenever they encountered a difficult problem that they could not solve, they could not think clearly about the problem, and they could not see the situation clearly, so they would ask him for help.
As for Kyle, he could not help but feel a headache coming on.
Sure enough, he would not be able to escape the control of fate. After much thought, he still had to rely on Lorne to answer all three questions correctly and well.
He originally wanted to show off, but he did not expect that not only did he not receive the approval of the ministers, but he was also even forced to go to Lorne and ask for advice.
This was a true blow to Kyle’s ego.
After a moment of silence, Kyle asked tentatively, “Do I really have to go?”
In the end, the few ministers present nodded heavily.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty, it doesn’t matter even if you go.”
“…”
Good job, the moment the ministers pushed him, they held back yet again.
After walking back and forth on the spot for a few rounds, Kyle still felt helpless. He could only throw up his hands in resignation.
“Alright, but Abner, you will have to go with me!”
Abner suddenly seemed to have choked on something. His facial expression instantly stiffened.
As expected, as long as the king went, he would definitely be called to follow along as well.
Abner could only agree to the king’s order.
…
It was just like that, the carriage of the king and the minister drove out of the palace. The atmosphere along the way turned quite grave.
They had already begun to imagine the next oncoming storm brewing in their minds.
When the carriage stopped two streets away, Kyle braced himself and headed for the tavern.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lorne slapping his face on the counter with a bored expression.
It seemed that he had nothing to do now.
Kyle was instantly delighted by seeing his friend. He was happy to see Lorne in such a bored state. Otherwise, if he was not bored, he might not even bother to explain it to him.
A smile bloomed on Kyle’s face, and he deliberately stepped on the ground with heavy footsteps.
Lorne was immediately startled awake by Kyle’s loud footsteps.
When he saw Kyle’s smiling face, Lorne immediately glanced at him lightly, and then he perked up.
“Old friend, you don’t have to say anything first. Let me guess,you’re going to ask how to answer the third question from the Spartan Kingdom?”
Kyle’s smile did not change. He then pretended to be proud and said, “Boss, you guessed it wrong. I’m not looking for an answer from you today. The third question asked by the messenger of the Spartan Kingdom was answered by the King of Lolan on the spot!”
Lorne wiped a table clean while turning around and walking towards the kitchen.
At the same time, Lorne replied right after, “There’s nothing strange about this. I’ve already said that the King of Lolan, and the officials of the palace were well aware of the few stupid questions that those barbarians asked. Only a few of you didn’t understand and asked silly questions.”
As he said that, he ran towards the kitchen and started to get busy. Since only two of them had come this time, there was no need to eat hotpot. Therefore, Lorne quickly brought out a few dishes.
After the three of them sat around a table, Lorne poured wine for Kyle and Abner and asked, intentionally or unintentionally, “You said that the king answered the third question on the spot. What question do you wish to ask me today?”
Kyle immediately said in a mysterious and soft voice, “According to the information that I have gathered, the Spartan Kingdom actually asked the King of Lolan if he will be able to destroy the Bora Kingdom.
“And King Kyle answered on the spot, saying that within three years, Bora Kingdom will be completely destroyed!”
Lorne nodded as if it was a matter of course. He was not surprised by this answer at all.
Kyle immediately raised his eyebrows and continued, “Brother, don’t you think it’s not good for the king to be so direct in front of all the civil and military officials? If the Bora people hear it, won’t they be on guard against it and fight back?”
Kyle quickly told Lorne about his own concerns and the concerns of Rosen and the others. He wanted to hear what Lorne had to say.
Lorne only shook his head slightly. In the end, he spread out his hands.
“What’s wrong with that? I think this answer is impeccable.
“The Lolan Empire has always been at odds with the Bora Kingdom. There will be a battle sooner or later!
“Didn’t I tell you long ago? As long as this battle is big, it will be a war of national extermination. There won’t be any leeway left.
“With our current military strength, no matter if it’s a surprise or a fair fight, there won’t be a second outcome.
“Currently, the Bora Kingdom is in an extremely weak position compared to our Lolan Empire. No matter what they think, as long as this war is fought, they won’t be able to escape the fate of national extermination!”
Kyle nodded. This statement was already in line with his thoughts. He was more concerned about another aspect.
“You did tell me this statement before, but I am a little puzzled as to why the Spartan Kingdom would ask this question.
“For me, the King of Lolan, to answer so straightforwardly, could it be that I have fallen into the Spartan Kingdom’s scheme?”
Lorne took a bite of the food and then drank the wine on the table in one gulp.
“There’s a reason why you’re worried now. To tell you the truth, the Spartan Kingdom has been playing many tricks in the first place.
“They have many hidden motives.
“The simplest reason is that they wanted to start a war between the Lolan Empire and the Bora Kingdom in advance. It’s best if they can fight a long-lasting war.
“In this way, the Lolan Empire, which is the most powerful among the surrounding major forces, would be mired in a war.
“Think about it, if it really comes to this, wouldn’t the Spartan Kingdom be able to take this opportunity to crazily develop their strength and power around the land?
“After all, no one cares about them, and they’ve hidden themselves in the remote southwest corner.
“After this long-lasting war that they expect is over, the Spartan Kingdom will have developed to an extremely powerful state. At that time, it will be truly useful to be on equal footing with the Lolan Empire, and even have the strength to challenge them.
“This is the true ambition of the Spartan Kingdom!”
As soon as Lorne finished speaking, the expressions of Kyle and Abner changed drastically!
