helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alec had 3 official wives, and all 3 wanted nothing more than to kill each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alec’s First Wife, Queen Sera... had aided her daughter, Cary... into killing third queen Argenia’s daughter, Jennette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, payback was a b**tch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Argenia had already made Cary more stable before killing both Cary and the first queen Sera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now there were just 2 queens in the mix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, second queen Eliza, who was Connor’s mother... was still looking for her missing son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she had asked some of the assassins to follow the moves of both Sera and Argenia, just in case they had a hand in Connor’s disappearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who would’ve thought that she would get to hear of such a juicy play?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Sera was dead, that meant that only Argenia and she remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she had planned to take out Argenia before Alec arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, she would be the only queen in Arcadina who was controlling the scenes from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, the day they had their battle was the same day William had planned to lay siege on the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while both women were battling it out, William would swoop in and stop them before they could kill each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course with that said, he placed both women under house arrest and had some people treat their wounds for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both women had been so stunned by the fact that Oden Barn had survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once they got the gist of things, they quickly realized that their time and reign in the palace had finally come to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, when Argenia heard that William was Mr. G.P, she couldn’t help but cry in gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for him, how would she have known the real culprits behind her children’s death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he was using her, he still aided her a lot in fulfilling her plans for revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now that he even brought up the matter of Alec’s capture, how could she not be thankful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned towards him and cry pitifully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was all that kept her alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she knew that she wouldn’t be allowed to personally behead Alec... as so many people were standing in line for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy had killed his own father, so wouldn’t his brother want revenge too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to talk about Mona Ferris, whose entire household had been burned down ages ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Alec probably had thousands of people, both nobles and peasants that personally wanted him dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she knew that asking to behead him would be a bit too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why she had asked to personally stab 100 times before he was beheaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But William had only agreed to grant her 2 ’stab opportunities’ in regions that couldn’t kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they needed him conscious for the beheading ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, Argenia also requested to move into a quiet village and live the rest of her life in solitude there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of her children were gone, so what l she was looking for was a resting place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>William felt a little pity for her since he was clear that she wanted to kill herself there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, he had also promised her that after Alec’s death... he would personally take care of the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was it on Argenia’s end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as for Eliza, she wasn’t having it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza felt like someone was personally tormenting her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all her meticulous planning for Connor to take over the throne, how could she allow anyone else sit there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She started growling and biting those who treated her wounds, as she felt like they were simply looking down on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, from the moment William had told her that Connor had been locked up in a very far away place... she had spared no effort to bite and attack him more than twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what could she do against him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>William just felt that being truthful here was the best thing to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had ensured her that Connor was safe and would even be released after some years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had also told her about all visitation rights in Baymard and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if she truly wanted to see her son, then she can go see him anytime she wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course... all this still pissed Eliza off, as she looked at William as if he was the main culprit in charge of giving her baby such a cruel fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had been quick to forget that it was Connor that had attacked William first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She screamed and banged her door madly as she wanted to get out now and see her poor baby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her mind, the only thing that she wanted to do right now, was to assemble all of her men and march them straight into Baymard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she also wanted to get more men from the officials and novels that used to support her son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her mind, now was the time for them to prove their loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how would she have known that many of the officials and nobles felt like they were currently walking on eggshells too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything came so suddenly that no one in the Capital had the time to think about helping others now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some officials even decided to abandon their families and run away with their wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if they could abandon their wives and children, what about her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was all on her own on this one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lowly son of a b**ch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Release me this instant, or I won’t be able to guarantee the safety of your family when I finally leave.\" Eliza said angrily while trying to untie herself from the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>William looked at her and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunty, you will be freed 4 days from now just as planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So please, don’t injure the maids or doctor that come in to treat you again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pui!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what if I abused them a bit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are you going to do about it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you think that all this will make my hatred for you go away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dream on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listen here, boy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what happens in future, I will definitely make you pay for what you’ve done to my baby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is my promise to you!\" Eliza said sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>William just looked at her and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from pity, the only reason why he kept her alive was so that she could see her son again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was in a way, his last bit of kindness towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t a fool!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that after she left, he would concentrate all her savings and men into rescuing Connor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in his mind, the prison he saw was almost impenetrable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he was sure that they wouldn’t even be able to get passed Baymard’s Landport... talk less of attempting a prison break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza would waste all her money and resources on that and get broke later on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she sold herself to rich noblemen or even worked hard to get more resources... she still won’t be able to get him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when reality finally touched her, she would have no choice but to wait patiently for her son to be released.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows, many she might even become humble, work earnestly and save money for her son’s life after prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But William had already decided that he would give Connor an Eli some money after they left prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the money would be given to them in Baymard the moment they came out of prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what he knew, they were sentenced to 12 years in prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they should be out by the time they were in their middle or late thirties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And by then, Eliza should also be in her early 50’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she gave birth to Connor when she was around 16 years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again.. he also heard that if they were good... then they might even be released earlier than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So maybe when they were 30, 31 or even 32, they might be released, rather than waiting for a few more years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, he only hoped that by then, they could live an honest life with the money they had been given, and even start a family at best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he would definitely send some men to monitor, as well as protect them if they had really changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, William looked at his fiery aunty and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only time would show her how foolish her thoughts were.\u003C\u002Fp>",1436,"2026-06-03T07:55:30.310Z","2026-06-03T07:55:37.642Z",1,"novelbin.me","a35f253c972e133a692cfdac89166c576749e7759cea136824b10068294c3e21","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-678","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-676",1977,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-king-of-technology-cover.jpg"]
