Who taught him to restore his country like this?

Let's wait and see.

Ron uttered a vague remark, then looked away and fell silent.

Kertia wanted to say something more, but Emmett had already stepped closer.

He stopped in front of Ron, looked Ron up and down in his adventurer attire, glanced at the sword at Ron's waist, and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty Ron is dressed so formally, would you like to announce this matter yourself?"

Ron smiled slightly but did not answer.

“Let’s begin,” Aetherel said.

"Ok."

Emmett's smile vanished, she gave Ron a cold look, and walked onto the platform.

"Greetings, people of Orantia."

“My name is Emmett Iverson, and I am the prince of the Kingdom of Diam. Today I have summoned you all here to announce something heavy.”

Chapter 73 Son of Truth, Say Something!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Emmett spoke slowly in a heavy tone.

Beneath the city walls, the people of the three fortresses looked up at the high platform. When they realized that the figure was not Ron, discontented whispers spread like a tide.

Where is His Majesty Ron?

"Why wasn't His Majesty giving the speech himself?"

"Why should the people of the Kingdom of Diam stand there? They're the ones who've made it impossible for us to move an inch!"

Faced with the barrage of questions and accusations, Emmet remained unmoved and continued, "Due to unknown factors, neither the Kingdom of Lah nor the Kingdom of Diam can now enter the realm of the Eternal Illusion. Unfortunately, we are afraid we can no longer save the Kingdom of Orantia from its predicament through this method."

Upon hearing this, the people below the city wall fell silent for a moment, followed by a chorus of helpless sighs.

In fact, the unusual inaction of the armies in the three major fortresses over the past few days had already given them some suspicion.

However, Ron never gave a clear conclusion, so they clung to that faint hope like drowning people grasping at a last straw.

At this moment, this last glimmer of hope vanished completely with Emmett's words.

Is Orantia really beyond saving?

What will become of them in the future?

"You don't have to despair, there is still a way to save the Kingdom of Orantia."

It must be said that Emmett has a knack for public speaking and knows how to stir up public emotions.

Hearing that Orantia could be saved, hope rekindled in the eyes of the people.

Their eyes were drawn to Emmett.

Emmett enjoyed the gaze. He paused deliberately for a moment before continuing, "The root cause of Orantia's entrapment in the Eternal Illusion is the Divine Purification Array. We have received information that as long as we destroy the Elemental Stone, we can destroy all the Divine Purification Arrays within Orantia!"

After piquing the public's curiosity about how to destroy the Elemental Stone, he continued, "The Elemental Stone was obtained by Princess Kailina from the Bruveman Empire. Because it required the constant nourishment of the Holy Bloodline, Princess Kailina integrated it into her body."

Upon hearing this, the people were stunned for a moment, then guessed what Emmett was going to say about how to save the Kingdom of Orantia.

"The only way for us to destroy the Elemental Stone now is to kill Princess Karina!"

Emmett declared firmly, "As an outsider, I have no right to decide Princess Karina's life or death. She is your princess, the hero who protects Orantia. Only you—the people of Orantia—have the right to make that decision!"

The heavy declaration was like a boulder thrown into a deep pool, and the sorrowful atmosphere instantly froze the air.

Everyone lowered their heads, wanting to escape.

But they couldn't escape it.

After a brief silence, some people covered their faces and wept.

"Now, tell me your answers."

Emmett waited for a while before asking.

As the people struggled to make a decision beneath the city walls, Ron made his move.

Etheril and Kertia caught Ron's movements immediately.

He strode up and walked towards the platform.

A layer of silver frost quietly covered Aetherel's pupils as he stared intently at Ron.

Only he knew that Ron had no intention of becoming a sacrifice. Now that Ron had stepped onto the platform, he had to be wary of what he might do.

Kertia felt a little uneasy—was this guy going up to be a lecturer?

Emmett heard footsteps beside him, turned around and saw Ron, and frowned.

Just as he was about to ask Ron what he was doing up there, he saw Ron's right hand resting on the hilt of his knife.

Emmett's eyelids twitched, and he felt uneasy, so he stepped back.

Bang!

The next second, the blade flashed and shattered the stone table on the high platform, sending stone fragments flying all around.

Upon seeing this, Emmett was instantly enraged: "Ron, you are..."

"What nonsense!"

Ron's angry voice rang out from the high platform.

Hearing the sound, the people below all looked up at the figure on the high platform who brought them peace of mind.

"Is it not enough that the Kingdom of Diam ruined my plan to save Orantia? Now they want to kill Princess Karina too?"

Ron raised his longsword, pointed it at Emmett, and questioned him angrily.

Emmett: "Hmm?"

“You said you were going to announce something in public today. I thought you were genuinely repenting and wanted to make amends for your mistakes, so I gave you this opportunity.”

Ron, looking deceived, retorted angrily.

"???"

Didn't you ask me to make this announcement?

You've already forgotten after just one night?

Emmett was a little confused.

Has this guy suffered some kind of mental trauma and gone mad?

"...I never thought a leopard can't change its spots! The Kingdom of Diam hates me and wants to kill me, they could have just come after me alone, why target Orantia like this?"

The black blade gleamed coldly in the sunlight, tracing chaotic arcs in the air as Ron's arm trembled violently.

Emmett suddenly couldn't understand what Ron was saying.

Wasn't what we announced today something we discussed together yesterday?

"What nonsense is this about killing Princess Karina to save the Kingdom of Orantia!"

Ron suddenly took a half step forward, his blade pointing directly at Emmett's throat: "You are only afraid of Orantia's holy bloodline and want to use it to eliminate Princess Karina. Your intentions deserve to be punished!"

Beneath the city walls, the people heard Ron's accusations against the Kingdom of Diam, and the previously stagnant air instantly exploded.

"How dare the Kingdom of Diam deceive us!"

"They forced us to kill Princess Karina, what a vicious heart they have!"

"This is outrageous! Your Majesty Ron, please execute these people from the Kingdom of Diam!"

Angry roars came from all directions.

At this moment, Emmett finally realized Ron's purpose—this beast wanted to stir up hatred between the Kingdom of Orantia and the Kingdom of Diam!

"Don't make false accusations!"

Emmett shouted in his defense, "I had no intention of harming Princess Karina! Ron, I warn you not to act recklessly. Killing Princess Karina is the only way to save Orantia, you..."

"Shut up!"

Ron slapped Emmett's sophistry aside, turned to face the crowd below the city walls, and declared loudly, "I can still save the Kingdom of Orantia without killing Princess Karina!"

The crowd below the city walls was stirred with excitement upon hearing Ron's promise-like speech!

"Long live His Majesty Ron!"

"Long live His Majesty Ron!"

"Execute the people of the Kingdom of Diam!"

"Execute the people of the Kingdom of Diam!"

Emmett turned pale with fright at the continuous shouts, and seeing that the situation was getting out of control, he quickly looked at Aetherel.

Son of Truth, say something!

You can just say this is a proposal from the Church of Truth, and see who dares to question it?

however……

Aetherel remained unmoved, showing no intention of going on stage to explain.

"You've all teamed up to mess with me, haven't you?" Emmett roared.

Aetherel had no intention of playing a trick on him.

If Ron fails to come up with an effective solution, changes his mind without reason, incites the masses, and affects the strategy of saving Orantia, he will definitely step in to correct him.

The Eye of Truth – This is not a lie!

Chapter 74 Methods

From the moment Ron stepped onto the platform, he spoke almost entirely lies.

Only...

The Kingdom of Orantia can be saved without killing Princess Karina—this is not a lie!
