Who taught him to restore his country like this?

She still preferred Earl Lawrence's unruly demeanor from earlier.

"Your Majesty Ron, what should I do to resolve the crisis facing the Kingdom of Orantia?" Lawrence asked respectfully.

“What you need to do is very simple.” Ron put down his teacup.

“Your Majesty Ron, please speak.” Lawrence was somewhat excited.

If he can solve the predicament of the Kingdom of Orantia on his own, there shouldn't be any problem in him being promoted directly to Duke.

Ron looked at Lawrence and said seriously, "Hand over the position of Lord of Cassel to me."

you……

Lawrence took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to curse, and patiently asked, "Why is that?"

"I want to restore the country in Kassel."

"Your mother..."

"Then, using our status as participants in the War of the Gods, we'll dispel the Eternal Illusion of the Great Demon Lilith," Ron said in one breath.

"...good health," Lawrence's anger vanished in an instant, he paused, and asked, "Will this do any good?"

“It’s useful,” Ron explained earnestly. “Outsiders are not allowed to interfere in the war between the divine kingdoms. As long as I succeed in restoring my kingdom, the Great Demon Lilith will be unable to do anything to me. This is the Kingdom of Orantia. If she attacks me here, her own talent will be diminished. Once her strength weakens, it will be difficult for her to maintain the Eternal Illusion.”

That... seems to make a lot of sense.

Lawrence looked at Kertia, who, as the former saintess of the Radiant Church, should know a lot about these details.

After a moment's careful consideration, Kertia replied, "This method is feasible."

Lawrence was both pleased and worried after hearing this.

The good news is that the Kingdom of Orantia is saved.

His worry was that he would have to transfer his position as lord.

He seemed somewhat hesitant.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Keltia stared into Ron's eyes and said, "By provoking the Great Demon Lilith and pushing her to the brink, she might even face divine punishment that reduces her talent in order to kill you."

Upon hearing this, Ron thought about it seriously and said, "That's true. But I'd better not take the risk..."

"His Majesty Ron is wise and mighty, how could he fear the demons?"

Lawrence interrupted Ron and immediately lifted him up.

"Your Majesty Ron, please wait a moment. I will summon all the people of Kassel and announce that you will soon become the new lord of Kassel."

After saying that, he hurriedly left the room, afraid that Ron would change his mind.

Chapter 45 Prejudice in People's Hearts is a Mountain

"Sigh, it seems there's no way to refuse."

Watching Lawrence flee the study as if escaping, Ron sighed helplessly, "I'll go prepare too."

He got up and walked towards the door.

"What tricks are you trying to pull this time?" Keltia stepped forward, blocking Ron's path.

Ron was a head taller than her.

She tilted her delicate, flawless face slightly upwards, staring intently into Ron's eyes.

She knew all too well what kind of person Ron was.

No one gets up early for nothing; if there's no profit to be made, this guy would never risk his life to help the Kingdom of Orantia out of its predicament.

“Prejudice in people’s hearts is a mountain, Lady Kertia. You can’t hold such a big prejudice against me because of some unpleasant little things that happened in the past,” Ron said.

"You mean... a trivial matter?" The death stare returned, and a dark light clouded Keltia's pupils, as a dark substance proliferated wildly on her body.

Ron's eye twitched.

Why does this woman turn evil so easily?

Give me back the selfless and magnanimous saintess from my original work!

"Let bygones be bygones. We should look forward. I had no choice before, but now I want to be a good person. I will let Lady Kertia witness my reformed self." Ron said sincerely—well, referring to the technical aspects of reforming himself by manipulating the little saintess.

Keltia stared at Ron, somewhat moved—how could this guy be so shameless?

……

The golden sunlight streamed across the bluestone bricks of Kassel Square, turning the lion head sculpture of the bronze fountain into a honey color.

The wind lifted the curtain of the bakery, casting the aroma of freshly baked wheat into the beams of light, attracting flocks of pigeons to flutter their wings and fly over the spire of the three generations of heroes statues in the square.

A small platform, about half a meter high, has been erected in front of the statue.

Lawrence stood there, surrounded by residents of Kassel.

It was noisy with people.

The residents whispered among themselves, discussing what important matter the lord had summoned them to announce.

As more and more people arrived at the square, and it became almost impossible to fit everyone, Lawrence spoke up.

"I have gathered you here today to announce two things."

The square fell silent, waiting for Lawrence to continue.

"The first thing is the current situation of the Kingdom of Orantia."

Lawrence will publish the information he heard from Ron.

In order to get the residents of Kassel to accept Ron as the new lord and to restore the kingdom, he felt it necessary to reveal the reasons.

Otherwise, many people in Kassel would be dissatisfied with Ron, and if not handled properly, it could easily lead to a riot.

Five minutes later, Lawrence finished explaining the situation of the Kingdom of Orantia.

He only revealed information about the Eternal Illusion, not about the War Slaves.

As Ron said, revealing something that hasn't happened yet without evidence will only alert the enemy.

However, the Eternal Illusion alone is enough to make everyone in Kassel feel uneasy.

The residents of Kassel turned pale upon hearing this, and a sense of panic spread through the square.

Lawrence then said, "Caselle survived thanks to a great man who destroyed the Divine Purification Array beforehand, and the second thing I want to talk about is related to this great man."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of guards rushed into the square and lined up to clear a path.

Ta-da...

A luxurious carriage drove up from a distance and stopped in front of the passageway.

The carriage door opened, and a handsome young man with a noble demeanor stepped down from the carriage. He had a gentle smile on his face, walked through the passage, and came to the high platform.

"This sir is His Majesty Ron Rhine, the King from the Kingdom of Lach!" Lawrence solemnly introduced.

"The King of the Kingdom of Lach... Ron Rhine?"

"Is he the king who led the Kingdom of Lah to its destruction?"

"They also attacked the saints of the Radiant Church."

"Why doesn't Your Excellency arrest this villain?"

"How could he be here? Shouldn't he be in the Emerald Kingdom?"

"He saved us? How is that possible!"

Immediately, the square was abuzz with discussion.

Feeling the disgusted looks coming from all directions, Ron couldn't help but curse those unscrupulous newspapers in his heart for maliciously smearing and distorting his image.

No one publicized his act of distributing food to refugees for free in the Gray Fog Territory.

They seized upon his squandering of Gray Mist Territory's wealth and defenses to launch a massive attack and hurled insults at him.

This has made him infamous, and it has become much more difficult for him to gain reputation points.

Seeing that Ron was so unpopular, Lawrence tried to make amends for Ron, saying, "His Majesty Ron actually arrived in Kassel a long time ago, but it was inconvenient for him to show his face before, so he used another identity."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ron.

All eyes turned to Ron.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ron, in coordination with Lawrence, transformed into another form.

"It's Mr. Victor from the Adventurers' Guild."

"How could it be him?"

Exclamations arose from the crowd.

No one expected that the brave and skilled physician Mr. Victor would be the King of the Kingdom of Lah whom they despised.

Their expressions became complicated.

Seeing that the crowd's attitude had softened, Lawrence announced directly: "From this day forward, His Majesty Ron is the new lord of Cassel, and he will lead us to resolve the crisis in the Kingdom of Orantia!"

What? Let the people of the Kingdom of Lach become the lords of Kassel?

Wouldn't that make it just like the Gray Mist Territory of the Emerald Kingdom?

This statement immediately drew a large number of opposing voices.

But then Lawrence explained the reasons for making this decision.

The square fell silent again.

It turns out that guy not only wanted to be the lord of Kassel, but also wanted to restore his kingdom in Kassel.

But instead of stopping such an absurd thing, they had to cooperate fully.

Although Ron's goal in restoring his kingdom was to save the Kingdom of Orantia, they still felt extremely aggrieved at this moment.

If you're feeling frustrated, then just keep it to yourself.

Ron had no time to care about their frustrations. With Lawrence helping to handle the problems, his second attempt at restoring his kingdom was much easier.

"I, Ron Rhinet, hereby declare that the Kingdom of Lach has been restored today!"
