I'll Come Clean! I Am The King Of Lolan!

After Abner sat back down embarrassedly, Kyle coughed softly from the silence.

“Actually, that was only one question, so it didn’t show his true ability. You haven’t seen his true strength yet.

“Let’s not talk about other things right now though. After we solve these three stupid questions from the Spartan Kingdom, I’ll bring you there to experience the true strength of this young man.

“Him answering that question was considered easy for him, trust me.

“There are some things that need to be analyzed by the brain, and judged by the minute details. That is a hard skill to possess, and that young man has it.”

Abner immediately nodded to Kyle.

“Your Majesty, then it’s settled. Next time, you must bring me here to see Lorne’s true abilities!”

Kyle nodded calmly, but only he himself knew the potential that Lorne contained. As a king, he had to maintain his composure. However, mentally, he too stood up and danced in victory for gaining the answer to the puzzle.

With that, the carriage slowly galloped all the way back to the palace.

The moment Kyle got off the carriage, the first thing he did was to send his servants to fetch a nest of ants for him.

Then, he had to pick out the most energetic, most speedy, and seemingly the biggest ant amongst the plethora of nests.

He was afraid that the ants were too weak. If they died halfway, it would be hilarious albeit disappointing.

Since he knew the solution to this, Kyle could not allow any mistakes to happen.

Once the deadline was up, all the officials of the Lolan Empire would have to present the answer to the foreign envoys calmly.

Rosen and the others also began to study the nine-holed exquisite bead. From time to time, they would really catch a pair of ants and put them inside to find the exit.

The next day, on the clear floor, Kyle directly sent people to summon several envoys from the Spartan Kingdom to the palace, and once again held a banquet to entertain them.

Under the sound of ceremonial music, Puye and the others came to the palace where Kyle held a banquet under the guidance of the servants.

The scale of the event was similar to the last time it was held, and there were still many ministers in the palace who were present. Puye and the others first gave Kyle the highest courtesy before sitting down on their respective seats.

They were not in a hurry to ask if Kyle had resolved the problem. That would be very impolite, and it would show that they did not respect the Lolan Empire. Therefore, after three rounds of drinking, Kyle took the initiative to speak up about it first.

“Messenger Puye, three days ago, I said that I would accept the question raised by your king, Marcus. Today is the third day of his request.”

Kuye immediately bowed to Kyle.

“Your Majesty is a man of his word. I am deeply impressed!

“Allow me to boldly ask, does Your Majesty have the method to crack the nine-hole exquisite bead?”

Kyle did not immediately say it. Instead, he changed to a more comfortable position on the chair.

Then, he casually asked the ministers below, “I have given you three days to think. Do any of you have the answer?”

“…”

Did this trick mean that the king was not worried about this so-called question and directly threw it to the entire palace to figure it out?

In doing so, it showed that the King of the Lolan Empire was very confident in his officials.

However, he did not know if any of the officials of the Lolan Empire could give the correct answer.

Right as he thought of this, the sounds of swishing could be heard.

Rosen, Andrew, Abner, and Allen stood up one after another as if they were fighting over what they wanted to do.

“Your Majesty, I know the answer!”

“Your Majesty, I too have given it a thought!”

“Your Majesty, I can give it a try to solve it!”

This action instantly stunned the messenger of the Spartan Kingdom, Puye.

What was that?

It seemed as though they were fighting to answer that assumedly simple question. It even looked like there was like a mountain of gold and silver, and everyone was fighting to dig it up if they could solve the puzzle.

It was impressive to see that they were so proactive. The messenger of the Spartan Kingdom faltered slightly from their behavior.

‘How did they figure out the answer? Is this question really that simple?’ Puye thought to himself as he fell into a state of extreme self-doubt.

He was even more confused now. When he left the Spartan Kingdom, was what Marcus had told him true?

What His Majesty the King, Marcus, had said at that time was clear that this question would be extremely difficult for anyone to easily solve. Ordinary people would not be able to solve it.

He immediately assumed that there must have been a defect with the bead he brought. He even felt that something was strange about this whole situation.

However, Puye could only scratch his head in confusion but not speak his doubts out loud. Then, he stared blankly at Kyle — who was sitting at the top — for an answer.

Kyle looked at the messenger who was doubting his life. Although he still looked serious on the surface, deep down, he was trying too hard to contain his laughter. Sure enough, after spending so much time with Lorne, he had picked up a lot of bad habits from him.

Yesterday afternoon, when Kyle, Rosen, and the others came up with a plan, they decided to come up with such a playful trick.

They had to scare the envoys into a daze. Now, it seemed that this method had turned out successful. So much so that even Puye was now shocked into a daze.

Seeing Puye looking at him in such a state, Kyle casually patted the table.

“Envoy Puye, I didn’t expect that they would solve this problem.

“How about this, you just point at any one of them and let him answer. Let’s see if the answer is right or wrong.”

When Puye saw how calm and casual Kyle was being, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch crazily.

‘Hey, can you not make me do this?

‘I’m just a small envoy messenger. Why do you have to torture me like this? It’s not easy for me to make such a decision.’

Although Puye ridiculed him in his heart, he could politely nod his head with a small smile. After a while, he pointed at Rosen.

“I choose you, please explain how to solve the puzzle.”

After all, the others looked very serious. They did not seem like people who could lie. On the contrary, Rosen still had a smile on his face. He might be able to give it a try. Therefore, Puye chose the smiliest person there.

Rosen bowed to his king and then the Puye.

“Actually, the process of solving this nine-holed exquisite bead is very simple.

“I’m just a nobody, and my aptitude is mediocre. Compared to my other colleagues in the palace, I’m still slightly inferior.

“However, I can be considered to have My Majesty’s blessing, which allowed me to have an epiphany. Only then did I manage to think of the solution that night.”

This pretense was very new and refined. It made the people present clap their hands in admiration.

Usually, they would have never batted an eye towards Duke Rosen at all if they were to grade based on skill alone.

This wave of pretense directly left the foreign emissary speechless. 

Even Kyle could not help but be shocked by Rosen’s words. It turned out that he was not the only one who had received Lorne’s true teachings. Rosen had also kept some tricks upon his sleeve.

Puye stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say..
