Chapter 615: Just Icing On The Cake

"Where are the people from the Saint Laurent Family? Didn't they come?"

The old king reached out to sweep the dust on his body. He asked when he saw Augustus carrying Christina, who had fainted.

At that moment, Christina and the other Sword Saint disciples in the courtyard had been knocked unconscious and bound with ropes. Even the maids and guards outside the courtyard were not spared.

After completing the mission, Armand gave Augustus a look of approval and then said, "The Saint Laurent family did not come. In my opinion, they might be from Watson's faction."

When he brought Augustus to the Sword Saint's courtyard, Augustus proposed a new modification. Otherwise, it would be difficult to break through the Sword Saint's courtyard's defensive line. According to Augustus, anyone who believed in Watson would receive a gift from Watson. As Watson's strength became stronger, those believers would also become stronger. That was not a secret in the royal city.

After all, the royal city did not have the protection of the seven G.o.ds. The church believed in Watson. Even though Armand did not believe in Watson, according to the informants he planted in the church, Watson could become stronger. According to Augustus, Watson's strength had become stronger in the past few days. He had even created several new sources of power. As someone close to him, Christina must also have obtained such power. It would not be easy to win if they fought normally.

Armand did not know how Augustus had gotten the news. He did not think too much about it. As long as the result was good, it was fine. It did not matter what the process was.

"The Saint Laurent family did not come, but they joined Watson. Don't they know that the royal family has always been the same since the kingdom's founding? Watson is an outsider. What qualifications does he have to become the next king? They are betraying the kingdom and the royal family. Well, since they want to be with Watson, then let them die together."

The old king sneered and waved his hand in a domineering manner before walking out. "Follow me to the Saint Laurent family. I want to see how bold those people are."

...

At the Saint Laurent family...

"Grandmother, let's send our soldiers to help the old king attack the Sword Saint's courtyard and capture those who are related to Watson."

The head of the Saint Laurent family was sitting on a bench while a group of family members was kneeling in front of her. Everyone looked anxious.

"I heard that the Ptolemy and Campbell families have sent troops to the Sword Saint's courtyard, and their family head personally led them there. Now, all that's left is the Saint Laurent family."

"The current situation is very similar to when His Majesty destroyed the Demoness Church more than ten years ago. If we don't send troops now, we will definitely be hated in the future. There is a high possibility that the three archduke families will become two! Besides, we don't need to help Watson at all. Watson has never cared about the Saint Laurent family. He is also the child of the traitor that Grandmother chased out. What does his situation have to do with us?"

The people in front of her kept asking for her opinion. The head of the Saint Laurent family narrowed her eyes and remained silent. She understood what those people were saying, but it was probably because she was old. She did not feel anything when she expelled Watson's father, Edward, from the family. However, when she saw her grandson, Watson, ostracized by the family and regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the royal family of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, she felt a trace of sadness in her heart.

"All of you, be quiet!"

Taking a deep breath, she slowly opened her mouth, intimidating the members of the Saint Laurent family who were still complaining.

"In my opinion, this is a good opportunity for us to ease our relations.h.i.+p with Watson. In the past, he has always been biased against our family because of Edward's matter. However, this time, we are on his side. Furthermore, Watson has our bloodline in his body. I believe that he will forgive us once he finds out about that. Perhaps he might even have a chance to acknowledge us as his family."

"Grandmother, at this time, what's the point of making him acknowledge us as his family? I heard that his two masters, Antonio and Reid, are currently in an unknown state. Our family probably won't be any better off with him," a few young juniors grumbled unhappily.

"Of course, it's meaningful."

The Saint Laurent family head slammed into her chair hard and widened her eyes.

"What's the meaning of following the Ptolemy family and the Campbell family to attack the Sword Saint's courtyard now? If the three families attack together, each family will receive a reward. The balance of power between the three Archduke families will not be broken. It's the same effect as not attacking. If we help Watson, the effect will be completely different. Either His Majesty wins, and the three Archduke families become two, or Watson wins, and Saint Laurent becomes the dominant power in the kingdom."

"The Saint Laurent family has been sitting in this position for a long time. It's time to take a gamble! If we continue to maintain the current situation, the Saint Laurent family will continue to decline. The royal family doesn't allow other bloodlines to be the king. Even if our family has a Child of G.o.d now, can we guarantee that we'll always have a Child of G.o.d in our family? Furthermore, that Child of G.o.d is also on Watson's side."

In the end, it was better to choose Watson. If Watson won, the Saint Laurent family would reap a huge harvest. On the contrary, choosing King Landhar III would be the icing on the cake. The probability of winning was high, but the Saint Laurent family would not feel any pain after winning.

Although the Saint Laurent family head was a woman, her decisiveness and foresight surpa.s.sed a man's. After saying that, all her clansmen looked at each other and did not complain.

After a moment of silence, a man spoke first. "That makes sense. No matter what happens to Watson, Nia is by Watson's side. I want to protect Nia. I support my mother's decision."

"Hmm, Nia is the reincarnation of a G.o.d. Do you really think you're her father? If Nia wasn't on Watson's side, we wouldn't have to be so conflicted. We should break things off with Watson." Someone grumbled unhappily, causing Nia's father to be furious.

"What are you talking about? I think you're just jealous that I have such an outstanding daughter."

The head of the Saint Laurent family frowned. Those people were still arguing over those unimportant matters. Just as she was about to open her mouth to stop them, a disciple rushed in from outside.

"Something terrible has happened, Master. There are many troops outside. Ptolemy, the head of the Campbell family, is leading them. I also saw the old king. They are rus.h.i.+ng toward us as if they wanted to attack us."

"They're already here? I didn't expect them to come so quickly." The Saint Laurent family head stood up, tidied her clothes, and walked outside with her crutches. "Let's welcome those distinguished guests."

..

On another street in the royal city...

"Mother, I heard that Watson is currently fighting with Father. Even our grandfather, the old king, was released from prison to help Father destroy Watson's forces. "

Not far from the street was an ordinary courtyard. A young man stood at the entrance and looked outside. He saw the large army pa.s.sing by and the residents fleeing in panic down the street.

There were two young men and a middle-aged woman in the courtyard too. The middle-aged woman was holding a needle and thread in her hands and was spinning something. After hearing the young man's words, she put down the things in her hands and rubbed her sore eyes. "Yes, that is already their second duel. I wonder who will win this time?"

With a twinkle in his eyes, the young man said, "If only Father could win, then I would be the second prince again."

"Second Brother, are you still dreaming of becoming a prince?" An older young man behind him said, "It's about time for you to wake up. Father has no intention of pa.s.sing the throne to us. He wants to be a king for the rest of his life. In order to stabilize his position, he can abandon us at any time."

"I didn't say that I wanted to be a king. It's better for me to be a prince for the rest of my life than to live a normal life in a place like this, right?"

"Second Brother, don't say too much. It's not up to us to decide whether to be a prince or not. Furthermore, Kiana is crying in her room right now. What if you make her even sadder?"

Then, they kept quiet and looked worriedly at a room in the courtyard. After learning that King Landhar III and Watson were fighting again, Kiana had locked herself in her room. No one knew how she was doing then.
