The lord believed that the guy in front of him suddenly appeared in front of him and threatened him with such means, he would definitely not have no desires. And the question he was most worried about now was whether he could meet the psychological needs of this guy.
If he could simply use money and something else to dispose of him, then this would definitely be the best thing. But he did not think that this guy would be doing this in front of him. In fact, people with such ability would basically not be moved by these things. What they did must be a more valuable existence, and the lord did not feel that he could afford such an existence.
So he was very cautious and even asked such a question with some caution. Faced with his question, Victor just smiled and said to him.
"Think about it, Your Majesty. This... country, please sorry, I wasted a lot of effort to convince myself to describe it as a country. I mean, this country is so small, how many things do you think will attract me and let me show up in front of you and communicate with you face to face?"
"What do you want is this country?" The lord was not stupid. He quickly thought of Victor's reason. This immediately made him angry. "Don't think about it! This is my country, this is my property. I will never allow you to take it away from my hands, absolutely not!"
"No? This is not something you can say." As he said this, Victor was already touching his chest with the civilized stick in his hand. "Listen, Your Majesty the King. I found you not to listen to you reject me. Since I am standing in front of you, it means I am not discussing anything with you. I am not even warning, but stating."
"With me, you can still be your king safely. If you choose to refuse, then I can't guarantee what your fate will be like."
"Cooperate with you! Do you want me to cooperate with you to undermine myself and turn me from a king into a puppet? This is the ridiculous joke I have ever heard! Tell you, a guy who doesn't know where you come from. Even if you die, I will never be a shell king. I said that this is my thing. Even if my things are destroyed, no one can be allowed to touch him. No one can do it, absolutely no way!"
The lord almost roared and responded to Victor. Faced with his response, Victor couldn't help but smile and poked the civilization staff in his hand towards him.
The tip of the civilized staff is a flat bottom shape. In theory, when it poked on the chest, it was more of a humiliation than a certain tangible pain. But when Victor did this, the lord couldn't help but screamed in pain. Because for him, it was like a branding iron imprinted on him, making him unable to withstand the torture.
The lord who has always been spoiled is not a man of iron. He was a little worse than death by Victor. Seeing his life and death as he was worse than death, Victor immediately opened his mouth and mocked him.
"Since you say that, does that mean that I can use any method I want to deal with you? I have to remind you, Your Majesty, you are not my only choice. You are just the most convenient choice among my many choices. So your rejection cannot protect your safety. When you exceed my bottom line, I may do something to you that you don't want to see at all. For example, kill you!"
"You want to kill me?" Although stubborn, when facing the threat of death, the lord couldn't help but tremble. "No, you can't kill me. If you kill me, you will be even more impossible to get this country. I am the legal master of this country. Once I die, this country will lose its legal barrier and completely fall into the hands of other countries. It will split and be eaten by others. And you will not get anything!"
"It seems to make some sense, so what do you want to do? His Majesty the King?"
As a man who is good at conspiracy and tricks, Victor easily saw the plot in his lord's heart. He must be making some small abacus, and when facing his small abacus, Victor watched his performance as if he was watching a play. He even said that he was somewhat indulgent and allowed him to continue.
This change in attitude was very obvious, so immediately, the lord seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and even the pain in his chest was ignored and shouted at him.
"We can cooperate. Yes, we can cooperate. I can accept you as a senior official of the government. Minister of Defense, Prime Minister, whatever it is. We can cooperate! You can obtain rights only under me and then enjoy everything in this country. Even saying that you want to use your power to get more from other countries, I will support you. We can be friends and I can help you get what you want. Believe me, everything I say is true. I mean it is true!"
"Cooperating? Being friends? It sounds like an interesting idea."
Hearing Victor say such words, the lord's face immediately showed joy. But soon, his expression became stiff. Because Victor said this next.
"It's a pity that you don't have this qualification. I have heard an old saying that a dragon does not live with a snake. And this is the difference between us. If I am a giant dragon that can soar in the sky, then you can only be considered a snake rolling on the ground at most. You don't have the capital to cooperate with me, let alone let me be beside you. So unfortunately, I don't accept your statement. There is only one choice I can give you, that is, surrender."
"Your Majesty the King, what should you choose? You make your own decision. But the final result depends on me. Do you understand what I mean?"
Deep fear began to appear in the lord's eyes, and then slowly turned into restless madness. Anyone who was forced into a desperate situation could have such a change. At this time, his change was particularly obvious. Because he found that he really had no way out.
Surrender is just a ridiculous joke. As a lord who truly possesses aristocratic blood, the family heritage of nearly a thousand years made him very clear about one thing. That is, once he loses his power, the nobles will have only one way to die. This can be seen from the beheaded French emperor. The current world has long been a world of civilians, and the tradition of mutual saving lives among the nobles has long been out of place.
So he cannot give up the rights in his hands anyway, and this means that he can only choose to refuse in such a choice.
Rejection is death, which is absolutely a bad choice for him. But he knew in his heart that once he died, the person in front of him would not completely get everything he had. He had no descendants and was the only master of this territory. Once he died, the territory would become fragmented and become a delicacy for others. In that case, no matter how powerful he is, it would be impossible for him to get Ravitonia intact. This principle cannot be unknown to this person, so the final question becomes, will he let himself die?
Crazy thoughts surged in the lord's mind, causing him to make a crazy decision. This decision was that he no longer cared about the apparent danger, but shouted directly at Victor.
"Come on, kill me. I would rather die as a king than become a puppet and perish in regret. Anyway, you won't get anything if you kill me, so as long as you dare, you can kill me!"
This was the lord's last gambling, a crazy move he bet on his life and everything he had. However, in the face of his heroic act, Victor just smiled loudly and said to him coldly.
"It's a really admirable will. I would rather die than surrender. I'm curious. Is this the noble will in your blood at work? Or do you think you can find a support by saying this and face me with fearlessness? I have to say that your thoughts are too naive, Your Majesty the King. Because you are threatening an existence that you don't understand at all, an existence that you can't guess and think about with your thinking and insights."
As he said this, Victor's appearance wearing a mask and gentleman's uniform became turbulent like ripples, and then quietly changed and slowly changed into another image. This image was exactly the same as the king who had gradually shown a shocked look in front of him, and even said that it was not bad at all. The only difference was that there was always a trembling smile on his face.
"The game is over, your majesty. No, now I should call you a thief. You made the wrong choice, and now you have to pay the price for your choice."
Seeing the other himself say such words, the lord couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
"No, no. Don't kill me, don't kill me..."
However, at this time, no matter what he said, it was useless. Victor was tired of playing this game. The final outcome could only continue as he designed it.
The lord of Latovigna, a thousand-year-old noble inheritance, was cut off. He inherited everything from this lord and began to rule his motherland, Latovigna, in this new identity. Just as he promised, he would bring new life to this country. Whether this lord means light full of hope or darkness symbolizing death and destruction can only be determined by the changes in this world.
Now, the only thing that can be confirmed is that Victor pushes his plan forward one more level. It is not far from when his plan succeeds.
