Lust System in the Murim World-Chapter 31 Kiro, The Princess Guard Part 2

For a moment, there was nothing but silence in the room. Queen looked at her husband and sighed.

The most arrogant person in the world doesn't even give a shit about his ancestor.

King stood up and spoke.

"Those fuckers are already dead, even if they were alive, I would say the same thing. Rules are meant to be broken. But if you don't have the courage, then you can never grow."

"My daughter has that courage. I commend her for that. She is my daughter. Not to mention they are dead, even if they were alive, I would kill them if they try to raise their voice against me."

Saying so, King turned his eyes at Kiro and said.

"Remember, unless someone tries to harm Hinata, don't make a move. But once they do, kill them all. Nobody is allowed to touch my daughter."

"It doesn't matter if she is in the Asura Kingdom or the Human Kingdom. She is my daughter. Nobody is allowed to hurt her. If they want war because of this."

"WE WILL GIVE THEM WAR."

Hearing his words, there was nothing but silence in the room.

They were speechless at their king.

He wasn't just a king but also a true Warlord.

They still hadn't forgotten the time when he fought the king of three races all by himself and still lived.

He was a man who would never give up.

They knew their king liked the people with the most courage. Now that his daughter dared to break the rules of their ancestor, he was happier.

That's the reason why even though she was left alone, he didn't immediately send someone to protect her.

Although courage was important, he also wanted to test her survival instincts.

Without a life-and-death situation, he knew her daughter wouldn't be able to rise up.

Now that his daughter proved to him that she did have everything to break the rules, he would do everything to keep her safe.

After all, she was still his daughter and also the princess.

If he allowed her to be bullied by some random people, how would he be able to remain arrogant?

"And Kiro, remember one thing. You aren't just Princess Guard." Queen looked at him with a serious expression and spoke.

Kiro nodded his head and stood up.

Although he was the princess's guard, he was also her fiancee. It's just that this thing was only between him, Queen, and the King.

Not even Hinata knew about this.

Although other people didn't know about this, it wasn't hard to guess.

It was normal for a princess to have a fiancee. And, who would be better than Kiro?

No one!

At least, no one in the Asura Kingdom.

After Kiro left the hall, a middle-aged man entered the room. He had a human appearance and wore a silver robe.

His presence made everyone except King and Queen stand.

"Greeting your majesty!"

The man walked in front of the King and Queen. He bowed his head and spoke.

"Royal Minister, why did you arrive so late?" King looked at him and asked with a dissatisfied tone.

Although Royal Minister was higher in position than others, he was still a minister only.

To be late for a meeting with King would be severe for anyone.

The Royal Minister however didn't speak. He rather smiled and clapped his hand.

A few seconds later, two guards holding the body of a man wearing a dark robe walked in. This man had a bald head and blood covering his mouth.

"Your Majesty, let me present to you the man who initiated the Princess's Assassination. I am sorry for arriving late because I was trying to get the information from him."

"He is the head of Dark Blood Faction." Royal Minister kept his smile and spoke.

Hearing his words, everyone in the hall was shocked.

"This….. I thought Kiro, the Princess Guard took care of the head of the Dark Blood Faction."

"Yeah! I received the same news."

"Does that mean there was someone controlling everything from the dark?"

"Were we kept in dark about the head of Dark Blood Faction?"

"But, who is this person? Why don't I recognize him?"

The other ministers started discussing.

But a few seconds later, King raised his hand and everyone shut up. He looked at Royal Minister and asked.

"So, what did you learn?"

Royal Minister didn't reply immediately but rather turned his head at the guard. The guard nodded his head and opened the mouth of that man.

That man had already lost consciousness so he didn't feel anything. The guard took out his tongue and on the tongue, there was a strange black mark of a star.

"Your Majesty, it seems like this man isn't the one who wanted to kill the princess but rather he was tasked by someone."

"And, that someone must be the one who put this seal on him. I tried to get some information from him but whenever I tortured the information out of him, he loses his consciousness."

"But from this one thing is sure, someone wants to kill the princess and that person is the one who reared the Dark Blood Faction."

Hearing his words, the entire hall became silent for a moment.

"Damn it! Someone dared to kill our princess. Your Majesty, we must spare no effort in finding this person."

"Whether it is a person who helped the Dark Blood Faction or created it, we must find him and kill him."

A man from the side of the red robe stood up and shouted. He was one of the older generations of ministers.

He had seen many things but this was the first time he had seen someone from his own kingdom go to such lengths to kill the princess.

Hearing his words, King didn't reply immediately. He was arrogant, not an idiot.

He looked at Royal Minister and asked.

"So, what do you think we should do right now?"

Royal Minister had already anticipated this so he smiled and replied.

"Your Majesty, if that person is really trying to kill the princess, he wouldn't stop this easily. Since the princess has already left the kingdom, it would only make it easier."

"Even if you send Kiro to protect the princess, it might not be enough. That person created the Dark Blood Faction. How could he not know anything about Kiro?"

"So, he will definitely send forces that will not only kill the princess but also him. If we lose both, then it would be a catastrophe for us."

"That's why we should send Blade Asura Troops to protect them."

Hearing his words, a man from the blue robe side stood up and spoke.

"No, we can't do that. Blade Asura Troops are the strongest forces in our kingdom. Yes, the princess and Kiro are important to us but, the kingdom is as much as important."

"There might not be any war but sending them into a battle where we don't even know about the enemy is too risky."

"Your Majesty, if you want the princess to become a martial artist from the age of seventeen, there is nothing we can do. So, why not call her back and protect her?"

Royal Minister turned his eyes at the man who spoke and narrowed his eyes. This man wasn't a normal man either. Although his status was lower than Royal Minister, his popularity was higher.

But Royal Minister wasn't angry. He had already set a plan in motion.

Hearing his words, King thought for a moment and raised his hand.

"Everyone, the meeting ends right now. Tomorrow, I will give you my decision." 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

Although everyone was surprised, they still nodded their heads and left.

Only King and the Queen were left in the hall.

"Do you think Royal Minister is playing a trick?" Queen looked at him and asked.

"He is definitely playing a trick. My gut feeling has rarely given a wrong result. But, without enough proof, we can't make any move." King nodded his head and sighed.

"Proof? When did you start caring about proof?" Queen looked at her husband with shock. She was genuinely shocked because her husband never cared about others' feelings.

She still remembered the time when her husband left her alone on a cold night just because they had a disagreement.

Of course, then the next day, he took her to one of the most beautiful places in the kingdom as an apology.

But, even so, it didn't change the fact that her husband never cared about others' feelings that much.

If he thinks he is right....

Then, everyone else is wrong.

There is no right and wrong.

Only he is right.

That kind of person her husband is.

King also saw his wife's expression and shook his head.

"Might is right. Up until now, I never cared about others because I was the strongest. But, my gut feeling is telling me that Royal Minister has caught up to my strength."

"I might still win in life and death battle but I don't want to disturb this peace. So, we need to find proper proof before we make a move."

Queen was surprised by his words. She remained silent for a moment and stood up.

"But before we do anything about him, we must find a way to keep our daughter safe."

"Of course, although the peace is something I want to keep."

King's eyes turned red as he slowly stood up.

"If something happens to my daughter, I will destroy everyone and everything."
