His guiding principle is: never let himself be put in a passive position.
Once you find yourself in a passive position, you're basically not far from death.
Therefore, he has already made up his mind to head north, away from his major enemies, to develop his strength again.
However, he is currently riding high on his popularity, and he will likely be watched closely wherever he goes.
To facilitate his next attempt to restore his kingdom, he had to nip this trend in the bud before leaving, even though his current reputation was good.
“If you don’t have a good place to go, I can recommend one,” Wim said.
"Where?"
Seeing Wim's expression, as if he had already prepared an escape route for himself, Ron couldn't help but feel curious.
“Star Empire, Rose Mercenary Group,” Wim said.
Then he took a letter out of his coat and pushed it off the table in front of Ron.
"The Rose Mercenary Group, ranked second?"
Ron exclaimed in surprise, then looked at the letter Wim handed him with a puzzled expression: "This is..."
“When I was a mercenary, I taught a disciple. Although she was unruly by nature, she was exceptionally intelligent. Now she is the vice-captain of the Rose Mercenary Group. Take this letter to her, and she can arrange a good place for you to stay,” Wim said, reminiscing about the past.
Oh?
Is there another layer of relationship like this...?
Ron thoughtfully put away the letter of recommendation; perhaps it would come in handy later.
At that moment, Jenna brought a damp towel and handed it to Ron.
"Thank you."
Ron took a towel and wiped the sweat from his face.
Jenna stood to the side, looking at Ron with bright eyes, like a fan looking at their idol.
When she first learned that Ron was Victor, she hid from Ron for a few days, thinking that Ron was a liar who had taken over Kassel through deception.
Later, seeing how exhausted Ron was after saving Orantia, and with everyone praising him as a good king, she gradually lowered her guard against him.
Just two days ago, Ron stood on the city wall, brandishing his sword and angrily rebuking the villains of the Kingdom of Diam who wanted to kill Princess Karina, acting like a hero.
"Cough cough."
Wim then coughed.
Jenna snapped out of her daze and turned to look at Wim with a puzzled expression.
“We have guests. Go and see them,” Wim said.
"Oh."
Jenna turned and walked towards the mansion.
“Mr. Wim, after Orantia leaves the Eternal Illusion, there may be a great battle. You should take Jenna and leave Kassel to avoid it.”
Ron finished wiping his face, put down the towel, and said...
"I'm not avoiding it anymore."
Wim shook his head.
Ron, who had no connection with Orantia, was willing to risk his life to fight for her.
As a master living on the land of Orantia, it would be a disgrace if he only knew how to run away.
“With great power comes great responsibility, that’s what you told me,” he said.
“You’re different from me. I’m all alone and have nothing to hold me back, but you still have Jenna,” Ron said.
Jenna lost both her parents in the Battle of Dawn when she was young, and apart from Wim, she had no other relatives.
“I want to send Jenna to the magic capital—Moragun,” Wim said.
Jenna's mother was a student in the magic capital.
"The city of magic, huh..."
Jenna does indeed have magical talent.
But the magical capital is not going to be peaceful in the coming months.
Just as I was about to advise Wim to go somewhere else, a hurried voice came from not far away.
"Your Majesty Ron, something terrible has happened."
Ron stood up and looked at Lawrence, who had come to the backyard with Jenna.
"Emmet and that dark wizard escaped?"
Lawrence, who was about to report the situation, was taken aback: "How did you know?"
“When did they run away?” Ron asked.
“Just now, when they were bringing in the food, they killed the guards and escaped,” Lawrence replied.
Emmett was fine running away, but that dark wizard was extremely dangerous.
“Then he hasn’t gone far,” Ron said calmly, stroking his chin. “He won’t leave easily now that he’s escaped. He probably wants to curse me to death. Immediately send men to surround the dungeon of the lord’s mansion. He will definitely go to Vasily there.”
"Yes."
Lawrence immediately sprang into action.
“Excuse me, Mr. Wim, I have to take my leave now,” Ron said to Wim.
"I'll go with you."
Upon hearing that Emmett wanted to curse Ron to death, Wim was not entirely at ease about Ron's safety.
Ron did not refuse.
……
When Ron gathered his men and arrived at the lord's castle, the castle had already been attacked.
The enemy's target was clear: Vasily in the dungeon.
Ron told the soldiers to wait outside, and then led Wim and Lawrence into the dungeon.
The three proceeded cautiously, and as they approached the cell where Vasily was imprisoned, they indeed saw Emmett, who had escaped.
He was blocking the middle of the aisle.
Behind him, black smoke billowed and surged, its source being the cage where Vasily was located.
"Hahaha... You're late, Ron."
Emmett saw Ron and laughed triumphantly.
"The curse ritual has begun. You will soon pay the price with your life for your previous actions!"
Lawrence's shield clattered to the ground, and the seasoned lord's face turned deathly pale, veins throbbing on his forehead.
“Emmit, stop your foolish actions! Only His Majesty Ron can save Orantia right now. Are you trying to kill Orantia by doing this?”
He attempted to use moral condemnation to stop Emmett from cursing him.
“Orantia?” Emmett raised his head slightly and said indifferently, “What does your life or death have to do with my Kingdom of Diam?”
"How dare you..."
Lawrence took half a step forward, the sound of rubbing armor mixed with the chattering of teeth, as he gripped his sword, ready to strike Emmett down.
Wim's expression darkened, and he drew his sword to stop the curse ritual.
"Do not act rashly."
Ron reached out and stopped the two.
“I advise you not to come over. Anyone who enters this cage now will become a sacrifice for the curse ritual,” Emmett said smugly.
"That's your brother, how can you be so heartless?"
Ron asked calmly.
"He's nothing but a piece of trash."
Emmett sneered, "Becoming a sacrifice is his last value; as long as he can kill you, everything is worth it."
Are you sure you can kill me?
Ron laughed.

"Then we'll wait and see."
Emmett sneered.
Ron's smug demeanor made him look like a clown in his eyes.
The former king and the eldest prince of the Kingdom of Lah died from a curse, so how could they not kill a useless second prince?
Foolish, ridiculous!
Ron smiled calmly and looked at Emmett.
Lawrence was extremely anxious when he saw that Ron didn't seem to be planning to take any action.
"Your Majesty Ron, let me..."
Ron reached out and pressed his hand on his shoulder, gently shaking his head.
Lawrence, however, was unable to calm down.
Emmett was so confident that if they really did nothing, Ron would surely die.
He didn't understand why Ron could remain calm.
What's going on here?
Just then, a voice filled with doubt came from behind.
