Count Charis is a noble of this kingdom, and his family has made many contributions to it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, according to royal law, commoners who strike nobles must be punished.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lahqis, you are Shengzai’s fiancée—you’re practically one of us in the royal family. Know your place, and don’t bring shame upon us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the aggressive Prince Pablo, Lahqis could only turn helplessly toward King Lambosa III, seated at the head of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old king, who had just been basking in pride over his own achievements, now wore a look of distress as he faced the two sides of the dispute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, Lahqis was right—Count Charis had acted disrespectfully first, so the female adventurer should be innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But many things in this world are never that simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kingdom’s nobles, bound by shared interests and intermarriage, were all on the same boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Count Charis were punished here, it would inevitably anger the other nobles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As ruler of the realm, King Lambosa III had to consider far more than just right and wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lambosa III cast an apologetic glance at Lahqis and opened his mouth to speak, Shengzai’s voice cut in from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prince Pablo, I cannot agree with what you just said.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have seen no contribution Count Charis has made to the kingdom, but this female adventurer—who was harassed by him—is the hero who defended our capital.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She came to this banquet at our royal family’s invitation, yet now she is being harassed by some no-name riffraff at a royal-hosted event—I believe that is the true insult to our royal house.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Therefore, I demand that Count Charis apologize to this lady immediately. Otherwise, our kingdom will not tolerate any noble who acts with impunity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Shengzai’s firm words, the adventurers in the hall instantly looked at him with gratitude and admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Lahqis and the female adventurer, their gazes toward Shengzai were practically glowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shengzai, you’ve gone too far! You’re making Count Charis apologize to a commoner!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the bastard son he so often sneered at, Pablo actually lacked confidence when confronting Shengzai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew that if he didn’t stand by Count Charis now, his noble supporters would lose even more faith in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So for the throne, even if he feared Shengzai, he had no choice but to stand his ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prince Pablo, you need to remember: when demons attacked the capital, it was these commoner adventurers you despise who stepped forward—not the nobles beside you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I give Count Charis two choices: either apologize to this lady, or I’ll do it for him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shengzai spoke, he slowly drew his knightly longsword, and the killing intent radiating from him made it clear—he was not joking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the royal banquet hall, neither adventurers nor nobles were permitted to carry weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shengzai, as a prince, clearly fell outside that rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shengzai truly meant to kill, everyone around panicked—even Gajeef, Lambosa III’s bodyguard, rushed forward anxiously, signaling Shengzai not to act rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, do you agree with what Prince Pablo just said?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Shengzai’s question, Lambosa III clearly wanted to avoid escalating the matter, so he said to Shengzai: “Shengzai, let this matter end here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Lambosa III’s reply, Shengzai shook his head in disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems my earlier decision was right—you truly lack the resolve to lead the kingdom to greatness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If so, you might as well abdicate the throne to Prince Zanak right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shengzai finished speaking, the entire hall fell into absolute silence—his words were far more serious than any dispute between adventurer and noble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could even be called treasonous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shengzai, you bastard, do you even know what you’re saying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most furious person upon hearing Shengzai’s words was not Lambosa III, but Prince Pablo, whose face had turned purple with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Shengzai had just bypassed Prince Pablo entirely, declaring that Prince Zanak was more fit to be king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether or not Shengzai was treasonous was secondary—simply by saying this today, the entire kingdom would now know that the kingdom’s famed Third Prince favored Prince Zanak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guards! Guards! What are you standing there for? Arrest this traitor immediately!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Gajeef, you won’t let this traitor go free just because Shengzai once helped you, will you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the furious Prince Pablo, Gajeef turned to King Lambosa III and pleaded: “Your Majesty, Prince Shengzai only spoke these words out of anger—they were not his true intent. Please consider his service to the kingdom...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gajeef, don’t plead for me. These are my true thoughts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that the opportunity has come, and there are many witnesses here, I will say it again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, for the future of the kingdom, please abdicate the throne to Prince Zanak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai’s voice echoed throughout the great hall, leaving everyone stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only the adventurers and nobles, but even Lahqis and Zanak—who had already conspired together—were now speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nobles and adventurers were shocked because they never imagined the famed Third Prince would openly force the king to abdicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zanak and Lei Buen were stunned because they never expected Shengzai to flip the table right here, right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mean, even if they planned to pressure Lambosa III into stepping down, they at least needed time to gather their troops!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with no preparation, they were exposing everything—what if the Royal Guard surrounded them next?
