I'll Come Clean! I Am The King Of Lolan!-Chapter 10

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lorne did not pay attention to the way Kyle looked at him. He just continued talking to himself.

“And if this battle drags on for too long, it’ll cause other nearby forces to react.?It’ll be especially so for the Camaree Kingdom to the north of Bora. If the Bora Kingdom is destroyed, they will definitely know that it will be from the Lolan Empire!

“Although a few months ago, they’ve already conceded and said that they would be under us, if it really comes down to this, do you really think that they would listen to the Lolan Empire obediently?”

Kyle only briefly about it and shook his head slightly.

“This concerns personal interests and their own survival. I think the people of Camaree will not stand for it.”

Lorne took a bite of his food and nodded in response.

“That’s the main reason. If the Camaree Kingdom reacts, the ambitious Sguta Kingdom will not sit idly by either.

“When the time comes, the Lolan Empire will become the land of the four wars and be mired in a predicament. What should have been a crushing war of national destruction will turn into a chaotic war of all parties that will exhaust the strength of everyone. It’s really not advisable.

“I’m sure the King of Lolan knows this. He won’t allow such a small mistake like this to even happen.”

At this moment, Kyle fell into deep thought. The truth spoken by Lorne was actually simple and easy to understand. Even if he asked the ministers in the palace, there would be many people who would come to this conclusion.

It was just that Kyle could not let go of the hatred between him and the Bora Kingdom, so he was much too eager to ignore the many objective factors in play.

Now that the objective facts came out from Lorne, he naturally sobered up.?Feeling a little depressed from the obvious facts, Kyle drank a mouthful of wine and spoke, “What a pity, I didn’t expect such a great opportunity to pass by so easily.”

Lorne turned around and patted Kyle’s shoulder to express his comfort.

The king suddenly shivered. It had been many years since someone dared to pat him on the shoulder like this. Apart from his queen and the young prince, he has forgotten how long it had been since someone had patted him on the shoulder. After he became the king, even the best of brothers would pay attention to the difference between a king and a minister.

Now, he was being patted on the shoulder by such a kid.

Kyle felt that... it seemed to be not as bad as he thought it would be. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

A king was ruthless. As a king, he had to maintain his dignity at all times. No matter how good his relationship with Rosen and the others was, he had a status to uphold. He could not really joke around. Therefore, Kyle sometimes felt lonely. He was so lonely that sometimes he could only hide the loneliness in his heart, which made him envious of other people and how they could easily express themselves.

Therefore, Lorne’s action made him feel very comfortable.

Lorne did not notice the complicated psychological changes of Kyle and his slightly unnatural reaction. After patting his shoulder, he spoke, “I don’t think there’s anything to hate about this situation. If this opportunity is gone, other opportunities like these will arise once more.”

“Since Prince Taylor dared to secretly send people to contact Lolan, it’s almost equivalent to putting an hourglass in front of the destruction of Bora Kingdom. The timeline for this destruction would take nothing more than two years of effort.”

Kyle instantly became spirited again. He hurriedly threw away the nonsensical thoughts in his mind and asked with a slightly inquisitive tone, “Where should the Lolan people start from?”

“The reason why Taylor sent people to ask for help is because the snowstorm in the north has caused a large number of cattle and sheep to die. Moreover, King Noel has been pestering him for a large amount of money.

“This time, he was unable to ask Lolan for help, so I’m sure that he would obediently provide it to King Noel. Do you think he would be able to let go of this?

“King Noel will become even more aggressive in the future. He’ll become even more ambitious. There’ll come a day when Prince Taylor won’t be able to take it anymore. When that time comes, won’t the opportunity fall into the palms of the King of Lolan easily?

“So, if this year doesn’t work out, there’s still next year. At most, within two or three years, the Bora Kingdom will cease to exist.”

The cutleries in Kyle’s hand unconsciously dropped from the table as he processed Lorne’s words. After a long while, Kyle could not help but shake his head slightly.

The solution to all this was actually not as complicated as he thought it would be!

Were Prince Taylor to open this gate, the crack between the two kings of Bora Kingdom would never be closed. If any other general were to analyze it, this would be the outcome.

This would be the greatest foreshadowing of the Lolan Empire being buried in the grasslands.

It was this young man in front of him who was not only proficient in public life and politics but was also proficient in military affairs.

Lorne... was an all-rounder!

“In that case, King Kyle can only endure for a while. He should wait until the wind and snow in the north subside and the drought in the country is resolved. Then only the war to destroy other countries would be able to happen.”

Lorne nodded slightly.

“That’s exactly what I mean. Moreover, my friend, don’t think that His Majesty the King doesn’t understand the principle of patience.

“The current king has been a very rare and wise king since ancient times. Even I can understand the principle. How can King Kyle not understand it? I’m sure that our king can endure it more than anyone else!”

In an instant, Kyle’s entire body trembled. These few statements instantly brought back his memories. His thoughts could not help but flow back to when before he became the king. As the second prince, he was on par with the first prince. They fought in wars from all over the world and destroyed many forces.

Kyle had at least 70% of the success, but it also led to the possibility of no reconciliation between him and the first prince. It also made him more and more suspected by the king.

If he showed off his abilities and did not know how to restrain and conceal himself, he would be crippled by his father before he could rebel.

What did he rely on to be able to ascend to the throne in the end?

It was patience.

How could he get to where he was today without the ability to endure things?

Therefore, when Lorne spoke out his true thoughts, Kyle was baffled.

This tavern boss really knew this king very well!

...

Lorne saw that the two jars of wine on the table had been emptied. He got up and went to the cabinet to get another two more jars. At the same time, he said to Kyle with a smile.

“That’s why you shouldn’t think too much. You should learn more from the qualities of the king.

“If you can’t endure it, you’ll mess up the big plan. Patience is not cowardice, but it’s to wait for the right moment to strike.

“You should pull back your clenched fist in order to have a stronger punch.”

!!!

Kyle was really stunned this time.

F*ck, such philosophical words!

“You should pull back your clenched fist in order to have a stronger punch...

“Boss, if you write these words down, it’ll be enough to make your name known in Lolan City.”

Lorne spoke humbly that he was just an average person. However, in Kyle’s heart, he could not help ridicule that statement. This was something that no average person could summarize.

The two of them continued to talk to one another until they finished two more jars of wine on the table. Then, Kyle looked at the sky and was reminded that the disaster in the east of the river had not completely ended. He knew it was not a good idea to leave the palace for too long.

Therefore, he stood up and shook hands with Lorne. At the same time, he took out a few more silver coins from his money bag.

“Boss, it’s getting late. There are many things I have yet to do.

“I’ll come to visit you after I’ve settled the business transactions.”

Lorne stood up happily.

“Alright then, take care. You might be able to taste my newly brewed high-quality alcohol wine the next time you come.”

Kyle’s eyes lit up.

“High-quality alcohol wine? Then it’s a deal. I’ll come again next time!”

After he agreed, Kyle said his farewells to Lorne and left the tavern, disappearing within the crowds.
