Harol was stunned.

�80 years was temporary? And that didn�t make them slaves?�

Harol found the king, who knew the Empire�s intentions yet feigned ignorance, despicable.

Even during the time when the mage faction and the non-mage faction were fighting, the king feigned ignorance and fully immersed himself in protecting himself.

Chief Harol, couldn�t help but raise his voice.

�Your majesty, where will you find those 100,000 people?!�

Exactly who was he planning to send to the Empire to become slaves?

The king answered immediately as Harol shouted.

�It�s not much!�

�It�s not much?!�

Harol�s face contorted with anger.

However, the king spoke confidently.

�It�s not like the non-mage faction, the natives, or the nobles are going. Aren�t there many proud Whipper citizens outside of the royal palace who could work in the Empire?�

Cale swallowed a sigh.

In the end, the king was questioning what the issue was if it was just the citizens outside of the royal palace who were going as slaves and not the royal family nor the non-mage faction.

The king was confident.

�There would be no war and nobody would die. Isn�t that quite peaceful? If the Empire truly invades our country, we�re finished!�

�The king was probably just afraid that he would die.

Cale frowned.

Previously, when Toonka invaded the Empire, the king had an excuse.

He could simply tell the Empire that he had watched from the sidelines because he was afraid of Toonka.

However, it was different this time as it was the Empire who was going to invade.

Cale stared at the king who was willing to abandon 100,000 of his people for 80 years in order to save his own life. He then caught sight of Toonka�s fists that were trembling with anger.

Toonka was silent. JrNovels.com
