章節 710: Tables Turned

Even if the head Matriarch had a feeling the power the young king had displayed was not something he could hold for long, she still didn't want there to be a conflict. The original intent was to make him feel bad and indebted for his actions.

The earlier threats were mostly empty.

Of course, they were war ready, if the need ever arose. But the entire kingdom had enjoyed peace for a long time, and unless a major threat appeared from an unseen realm, it would remain at peace.
