My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start - Chapter 499

Chapter 499: Moving Forward

“What request?” Isabella asked, her eyes shining. If Avril’s words made her lose the thought of seeking death, then Watson’s words ignited her hope.

With Avril’s resurrection, it was not impossible for Watson to resurrect her two sons. As long as she could get her two sons back, she had no other requests. Even if Watson wanted her life, she was willing to give it to him.

“My request is simple. After I resurrect your son, you must announce that all the princes will not fight me for the throne. Also, you must cancel the engagement between Princess Kiana and me. Finally, you must help dispel the rumors that Queen Avril was an evil person. I know you can do it. As long as you agree to my requests, I will resurrect your sons. What do you say?”

“Watson, that is not a request. Those are three requests.”

Isabella’s mouth twitched. When Watson was silent, she smiled. “Very well, three requests. I agree with all of your conditions. Help me resurrect my son.”

Even though Watson had made three requests, none involved her life. She had attacked Watson—the young man was merciful. She could not miss that opportunity.

“As the Queen, I won’t go back on my words.”

Watson nodded and reached out to press the human chess piece on his chest. A burst of starlight flashed, and two naked figures appeared on the ground. They were the First Prince and the Second Prince.

After they were resurrected, they looked around, and their expressions were somewhat blank.

“Why am I here? Did I die? Did my father kill me?”

“Father is here too. Did Father use some methods to resurrect us after killing us?”

The First Prince looked puzzled. The Second Prince glanced around, and his gaze fell on King Landhar III.

“Your father did not resurrect you. It was Watson who resurrected you.”

Isabella stood up from the ground and briefly explained what had happened, as well as her deal with Watson. “From now on, you are no longer princes. The engagement between Kiana and Watson is also canceled! In a moment, you will return to your respective palaces to pack your things. We will move out of the palace.”

The simplest way to fulfill Watson’s request was to leave the palace and become an ordinary person. Even if Watson did not have those requests, she would still take the initiative to do so. After Avril was resurrected and revealed her innermost thoughts, they could no longer stay in the palace.

“Mother, what are you talking about? It’s fine if Kiana doesn’t want to marry Watson, but why do we have to move out?” The Second Prince looked as if he could not accept it. He quickly walked toward King Landhar III with a pleading face. “Father, all this is fake, right? Tell me that none of that is real.”

King Landhar III’s face was cold. The Second Prince stopped; despair appeared in his eyes.

“Let’s go, Second Brother. There’s no need for meaningless struggles.”

Prince Benson came to the Second Prince’s side, patted his shoulder, and sighed.

He understood his younger brother’s unwillingness, and he was the same. However, would that have mattered? King Landhar III had killed them with his own hands, and that had chilled his heart. He finally knew that he was only a pawn; he had no right to become the future king at all.

The First Prince pulled the Second Prince toward Isabella, and he did that silently. The three of them began to walk away. King Landhar III seemed unable to bear it halfway. He said, “Isabella, I have a few manors in the royal city. You and the children can go there.”

Isabella’s footsteps paused. Without turning her head, she said, “Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry. The children and I will find another place to live. We will work hard! From now on, we are no longer part of the royal family, but we are also no longer pawns at the mercy of others.”

“Watson, I will do what I promised you. Later, I will inform the civil and military ministers to send people to eliminate the rumors from more than ten years ago. That will be the last order I will give as the Queen.”

Then, Isabella left without turning back. From that day onward, the kingdom had lost a Queen but gained an additional sad person.

Watson was silent for a moment before he turned his head to look at Avril, saying, “Queen Avril, Queen Isabella has already fulfilled her promise. Next, it’s your turn! I request that you help me manage the church in the kingdom.”

“Manage the church? I’m very good at that. I’ve just been resurrected and have nothing to do. I wonder which gods the people believe in. What authority do those gods have?” Avril asked with a smile.

“There’s only one god in the kingdom now, and that god is me. As for my authority, it’s only to let the people live happily and protected.”

Watson pointed at himself. His words made the smile on Avril’s face stiffen, and then she revealed a look of disbelief. “What did you say? Does that kingdom believe in you now?”

A youth as the kingdom’s god? Was that possible? Watson seemed powerful, but he had not reached the level of a god. Once he became a god, Watson would be ostracized by that world and enter the divine realm.

Why would they believe in a human that had not reached the divine realm? What happened to the kingdom after she died? While she was puzzled, she looked at the expressions of the people around her—they were all calm. It proved that what Watson said was true, making her even more puzzled.

“There were seven gods in that kingdom in the past, but now, those seven gods were abandoned by the kingdom because they were competing for the people’s beliefs. Now, this kingdom’s god is me! I can let Denise explain it to you properly.”

While Watson was speaking, Denise went to Avril and knelt on one knee. She looked excited. “Former guard, Denise, pays her respects to Your Majesty. After all these years, I can finally meet Your Majesty. I could not have done that without Young Master Watson’s help. He is really a very powerful person. I hope that Your Majesty can help him.”

“Denise, get up. It seems like you have not forgotten me after all these years. It must have been hard on you.”

Avril helped Denise up and gave her a tight hug. “Even someone who rarely smiles praised Watson. It seems like that young man is extraordinary, indeed. Even though I don’t understand what it is like to be a god, I will agree to help him manage the church.”

“Since Queen Avril agrees, then I shall take my leave for now.”

Watson wanted to give Avril and Denise the time to get reacquainted. He turned around, bowed, and walked out of the garden.

Antonio, Reid, and Nightingale trailed behind him. At that moment, King Landhar III suddenly spoke. “Watson, wait a moment. You’ve helped me to resurrect Avril. You’ve helped me so much. I don’t even know how to thank you! Watson, why don’t you tell me your wish later? I will try my best to fulfill it. Perhaps you’d like to stay in the palace for a meal?”

“Your Majesty, I’m sorry. You can’t give me what I want now.”

Watson refused without even turning his head.

What he wanted was for the kingdom to be strong and prosperous. He wanted to create a better world and allow his family and friends to live freely. How could King Landhar III fulfill that wish?

“The problem with the church will be resolved after Queen Avril’s revival. Soon, the kingdom’s Holy See will be unified, and they will have complete faith in me, and my strength will be increased! It’s time for the next step of the plan—recruiting talents. The Winter Nation and the Elven Kingdom will soon start a war against the kingdom. Before that, I have to make the Holy Dragon Kingdom stronger so that I can occupy those two kingdoms while reducing consumption.”

He had never forgotten one thing—Antonio had someone he cared about in the Elven kingdom. Just like how he had resurrected Avril, mainly for Sylvan, he also wanted to conquer the Elven kingdom for Antonio.
