Chapter 408 Dethrone the King

In the southern palace of the duchy of Carmel, his majesty Liandre George was watching a show with his queen and a few subordinates. While the queen and the subordinates were all having a good laugh watching the clowns do their tricks, he couldn’t shake the ominous feeling that something bad was about to happen.

“Your Highness! Your Highness!” a messenger quickly ran in and interrupted the show. The queen was about to berate him, but a golden-armored knight was already coming in as well.

One of the king’s subordinates said, “How dare you come here with your armor and sword, you fiend! Do you not know that the king is here?” Knight Commander Lowell said calmly to Liandre George, “My name is Lowell, the head captain the national security guard of the duchy of Carmel. Under the new king, his majesty Algernon George’s command, I have come to deliver a message for him.”

“What?” Liandre George stood up. Because of how much force he put in, the food and wine, along with the table, were all flipped over to the ground.

Liandre George pointed and said with a somewhat weak voice, “This, this is treason! Do you not know what they do with traitors in the Kingdom of St. Ellis?”

Lowell didn’t bother saying anything back. Instead, he just handed a letter to George.

“Have a look for yourself. This is the official declaration of your dethronement.”

“De-dethronement?” Liandre George took the letter over with his trembling hands. When he read it, he saw that not a lot was written on it. Basically, he tried to take over the properties of Abel, the orc-fighting hero, and that threatened the survival of the duchy. Because of that, he had lost the right to sit on the throne.

“It’s fake! This is fake! I didn’t write this!” Liandre George screamed. He didn’t expect Abel’s revenge to come so quickly. He didn’t expect it to be this strong, either. Commander Lowell said sympathetically, “Of course you didn’t. Have a look at the mark that’s stamped on the bottom.”

“This… This is the previous king’s stamp! How could it be? I thought they sealed it away somewhere.”

Liandre George never took the elders seriously. Since two of them were basically his puppets, and all the other ones could never agree on the same thing, all the decisions they made had no influence on the affairs of the royal family. That being said, he didn’t think that they would manage to take out the previous king’s stamp to dethrone him.

Liandre George struggled to stand from the ground, “Is Master Abel that scary? Did he actually just make all the elders agree to let me go down?”

Commander Lowell raised his brow, “Master Abel, you say? That’s outdated, sir. Abel is now a grandmaster. You should refer to him as Grandmaster Abel!”

Liandre George murmured to himself powerlessly, “He’s a dragon… I’ve always known that. A dragon’s a dragon. You can push a dragon down, but a dragon is a dragon…”

Commander Lowell looked around at everyone in the yard, “Truth be told, Head Commander Hoover was ready to kill you and the rest of you, but after the elders discussed amongst themselves, they’ve decided that you can all stay here till the end of time.

And with that, the gate of the southern palace was closed. Some of Liandre George’s guards went to follow Commander Lowell. Now that there was a new king, it was time for them to change their position. There was no point in looking after a king that was going to be imprisoned for the rest of his life.

On the first day that his majesty Algernon George became the king, his first command was to restore Abel’s titles and give back all his lands. Not just that, though. He also gave him some lands that were compensated by the noblemen who took away his fruit groves.Abel almost became a viscount, too, if it wasn’t for how complicated the process would be. He didn’t care that much about titles, though. In fact, he was still flying to the Kingdom of St. Ellis on White Cloud’s back. He didn’t even know what Hoover had just done for him.

Right now, Abel was flipping through the profiles of the St. Ellis Wizard Union that Bernie gave him. According to what he was reading, there were a total of four advanced wizards in the Kingdom of St. Ellis. There was Wizard Cliff, who was rank 16. There was Wizard Edmond in rank 16. There was Wizard Anthem in rank 16. There was Wizard Dunn in rank 17, and he was currently shutting himself away for training. If the information he got was right, Wizard Dunn should be Wizard Morton’s old mentor. As for Wizard Edmond, he was in charge of most of the affairs in the Wizard Union. Wizard Anthem backed up the whole Wizard Union; he was in charge of all the important finances.

And Cliff. Abel’s archenemy was the head of the intelligence agency. The scary thing about the Wizard Union’s intelligence force was how they had eyes and ears everywhere. They had underground branches all over the Kingdom of St. Ellis and seven of the related duchies. If anything important came up, they would almost always be the first one to know.

When Wizard Cliff became the head leader, the intelligence agency was given the task of assassinating all of his rival merchants, noblemen, and wizards. Blackmailing, Defamation, Assassination, Execution without any criminal charges; all that could be done under Cliff’s command.

Before all these terrible things took place, it was Wizard Dunn that took care of all the affairs in the Wizard Union. If he didn’t shut himself away for training, Wizard Cliff would’ve never targeted a bunch of his students.

Especially at that time in the duchy of Keyen. When all the wizards there were annihilated, Wizard Cliff became the most powerful man that he would ever be. He was certain that Wizard Dunn would never come out of his training, so he had the balls to make Abel his scapegoat. Abel was the perfect choice for him. If it was anyone else that was less important, no one would believe the lies he made.

Besides, he never wanted competition from Wizard Dunn’s students. He was the man in charge, and he had to do everything he could to piss on anyone associated with Wizard Dunn. It was his way to show how powerful he was.

Right now, Wizard Cliff’s magic tower was located on top of the mountain that was ten miles from Denan City. Apart from the magic tower that he resided in, all that was next to it was a large villa he owned. It was where the headquarter of the Kingdom of St. Ellis was at, and it was also the most frightening place that all the wizards knew of.
