Chapter 833: Exchanges in the Palace (Part One)

Deep inside this library-like palace, there was a high platform.

A tall and burly man stood there with his hands behind his back, and light from the magic lanterns shone behind him, making him look even more majestic. His long hair followed gravity and looked like a wild waterfall, and his facial features were vague since the light was shining from his behind.

His aura was dominant and noble, and the suffocating sensation permeated the air. If ordinary people were here, they would have kneeled and worshipped this man.

He was Juninho, the Emperor of Leon.

Buckingham didn’t dare to look up at him. Instead, he hurried forward and kneeled in front of the platform respectfully, greeting the ruler of this land.

Fei slowly walked over and stood beside Buckingham, and he looked up and stared at this man who was the most majestic person within the region of 500,000 kilometers of Gerland City.

This man looked to be about 30 years old. His eyebrows were thick, his facial features were distinct, and he looked brave. If only judging from his looks, he looked more like a general who excelled in battles, an unruly mercenary group leader, or an independent warrior. It was hard to connect this man to that cruel and ruthless ruler who was calculative, dictatorial, and controlled the Leon Empire for many years through all its ups and downs.

Juninho seemed to have noticed Fei’s aggressive stare, and a bright light appeared in his eyes and shot back at Fei. Like the most brilliant stars in the night, his eyes glanced at Fei and observed this white-haired old man who looked to be hunchbacked. It seemed like this ruler was able to see through all the disguises and detect Fei’s real face under the cover of the long white hair and the black mask.

“Get up.” Juninho went back to his throne and said to Buckingham lightly.

“Your Majesty, I…” Buckingham stood up respectfully, and it looked like he was about to say something.

“King Buckingham, thank you for your hard work. We can wait on the topics that you want to discuss.” Juninho waved his hand with a smile on his face and signaled Buckingham to sit down on a stone chair on the side. Then, he looked at Fei and said, “Imperial Martial Saint of Zenit, King of Chambord! I didn’t expect you to pay me a visit in my little palace. I’m pleasantly surprised, and sorry for not treating you with the highest honor!”

Fei smiled and replied calmly, “Oh, so it turns out that Your Majesty already recognized me.”

“After thinking about all the masters in the region, I couldn’t find someone who is able to block D’Alessandro’s anxious attack and bring Buckingham into the Royal Palace this easily. Besides, I never heard that the Buckingham Family has connections to a Sun-Class Lord. After putting what I know so far together with the stories that D’Alessandro told, it seems like the only person who is willing to help the Buckingham Family that is being greatly pressured by everyone is King Alexander of Chambord who was rumored to have released that evil god of the Sea Tribe with Buckingham.

“Your Majesty, your intelligence is admirable.” Fei slowly sat down beside Buckingham and put away the disguises on him calmly, returning to the appearance of the handsome and ethereal young man.

Juninho looked at Fei with a smile and nodded in approval. It had been a long time since he met such a talented and composed young man. He thought that Buckingham was the most talented and smartest person in the young generation at the Leon Empire, and that was why he treated Buckingham better and trusted this young man more.

However, Buckingham seemed far inferior when compared to this young man from the Zenit Empire.

Juninho felt a little sad as he thought, “Why was this brilliant young man born in the Zenit Empire and not my Leon Empire? After years of battle, that guy has the upper hand again.”

He nodded again and praised, “You sure are a heroic young man. However, I don’t understand why you two who supposed to be enemies became friends, and I didn’t expect you two to show up in Gerland City and cause such a big scene. In fact, you two even dare to sneak into the Royal Palace of Leon. Aren’t you afraid of death?”

Fei smiled and didn’t say anything.

“Alright, it seems like Buckingham will answer my questions later. I have another question. Right now, you are in a terrible situation, close to being dead. You are now the enemy of the humans on the continent, and D’Alessandro won’t let you survive. How are you planning to deal with this?” Juninho switched the topic.

“I will kill whoever dares to cause me trouble.” Fei’s answer was simple and straightforward.

This simple answer stunned Juninho, and this emperor laughed and slapped the table, “Haha! Great! I didn’t expect that answer. However, when it came out of your mouth, it seemed like the best solution. You are an interesting young man.”

After laughing, this emperor of Leon got serious and said, “Unfortunately, the number of masters on the continent is comparable to the stars in the sky and sand grains in the desert. Although you are the most powerful and talented warrior that I have ever seen in the young generation, taking on the entire continent is more of an impulsive statement. Even if you can keep away all the forces, what about your friends, your lovers, your citizens, you… Can you be sure that none of them will be harmed or killed because of this? Can you protect every single one of them? If your friends and loved ones stand on the opposite side of you due to these rumors and raise their weapons, can you still follow through with your words and kill them without hesitation?”

Fei’s expression didn’t change at all, and he replied confidently with a smile, “Of course, I’m confident enough to protect all of them. In terms of the latter situations that Your Majesty described… they would never occur.”

Juninho sneered and said, “Really? According to my knowledge, the Royal Family of Zenit is facing huge pressure during this time. Several empires came together and are pressuring the Zenit Empire to wipe out all your titles and honor before arresting and executing every single member of the Chambord Kingdom. Although the Royal Family of Zenit hasn’t expressed their attitude, many noble forces are supporting such a recommendation.”

Fei laughed, “I’m not a gold coin; I can’t make everyone like me. Since some people like me, there will be people who hate me. I already saw this coming. If those despicable cowards didn’t jump out, I would find it strange.”

“Gold coin? This metaphor is interesting.” Juninho lowered his head and replied after thinking for a moment, “Aren’t you worried that the Royal Family of Zenit will one day subdue to the pressure from all the empires in the Northern Region of Azeroth and sacrifice your Chambord Kingdom?”

“The Royal Family of Zenit won’t make such a decision.” As Fei said that, he suddenly thought back to that haughty yet powerful figure. With that man residing in St. Petersburg, the Chambord Kingdom wouldn’t be in danger.

While they were talking, a silver light suddenly flashed in front of Juninho, and a new document appeared on the table.

Juninho frowned a little and opened it, not worrying that Fei was in the room. After reading it, a playful smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand, sending the document to Fei.

He said, “D’Alessandro just left Gerland City, and more than 40 Moon-Class Elites who want to get on the good side of the Continental Martial Saint went with him. Guess where they are heading to?”

Fei skimmed over the document, and his expression finally changed a little. “Zenit?”

“Yeah. Although that D’Alessandro is arrogant and conceited, he isn’t an idiot. After what you did tonight, he detected something, and he wants to confirm his suspicion. With the restrictions set by Maradona, the most powerful man on the continent, he doesn’t dare to cause trouble in the Capital of my Leon Empire. However, he is brave enough to go to the Zenit Empire with a bunch of idiots. After all, the Zenit Empire is only a level 1 empire, and Zenit will be in trouble once he gets there.”

Fei handed the document back to Juninho and fell silent.

Although Emperor Yassin was powerful and hard to estimate, Fei felt like he might not be able to handle D’Alessandro who was the No.2 Disciple of Maradona.  Besides, D’Alessandro brought more than 40 Moon-Class Elites. If they got to the Zenit Empire, disaster would strike. In the best-case scenario, Zenit would be greatly weakened. In the worst-case scenario, Zenit would be destroyed.

“Young Man, the Zenit Empire can no longer protect you. How about coming to my Leon Empire? I can promise you that I will protect you and your loved ones.” Juninho couldn’t hold back his affection for talented people, and he tried to persuade Fei.

“Hahaha! D’Alessandro is seeking death! Since he wants to play this game, I will make him regret his decision!” Fei laughed as he stood up. Then, he instantly dashed into the sky. The thunderous laughter echoed in the entire Royal Palace, and it gradually died down as Fei had flown away.

Juninho instantly stood up with a cold light in his eyes.

Many guards and masters in the Royal Palace heard Fei’s laughter, and they instantly rushed up to this side palace like a flood to protect their emperor.

“Retreat and guard your positions,” Juninho’s voice sounded before they could charge into the side palace.

In the next moment, all these people backed away in silence, and the Royal Palace became empty again. It was hard to imagine where all those masters had come from.

“Buckingham, tell me everything that had happened on your journey in detail.”

“As you wish, Your Majesty.”
