Chapter 1337: Chapter 900: Trapped in a Desperate Situation_2

“No, that’s right, exactly!”

The man nodded vigorously again.

“If Prince Algard had not broken the Elf Contract, the Magic Elves would have never abandoned us, let alone led us into this despairing situation… Your Highness, there’s still time. Please reestablish the Elf Contract and appease the Magic Elves. As long as you show loyalty…”

“Heretic!”

However, before the man could finish speaking, Duanmu Huai bellowed in fury, and the Thunder Warhammer thunderously slammed down, instantly crushing the man to the ground, turning him into a mound of flesh.

Duanmu Huai gripped the Thunder Warhammer tightly, his eyes brimming with murderous intent as he looked at the others.

“Because of disrespect, they try to exterminate humanity? How can we allow such Alien Hybrids to live? They even dare to threaten humans. There’s only death for them! All the Magic Elves must be annihilated, and all those traitors who dare side with these filthy Alien Hybrids must also meet a bad end!”

At this point, a hint of killing intent flashed in Duanmu Huai’s eyes.

“Now, who’s for it? Who’s against?!”

Faced with Duanmu Huai, who was like a god of death, everyone shuddered, but then someone mustered their courage.

“Prince Highness, please don’t listen to this thug’s nonsense…”

“Bang!”

“Prince Highness! Wake up, please. If this goes on, Paretia Kingdom will only face destruction…”

“Bang!”

“Prince Highness! I beg of you, don’t forsake the teachings of our ancestors. The contract made with the elves is sacred…”

“Bang!”

Finally, after a moment, there was silence.

“You see, Algard, it’s that simple.”

Duanmu Huai waved the bloodied War Hammer and looked at the fragmented bodies before him, while everyone else shivered, daring not to speak any further.

“As long as you kill all those who oppose you, then there won’t be any more problems.”

Algard fell into silence as he listened to Duanmu Huai and looked at this scene.

At that moment, the trembling voice of Enisphia resounded.

“Is this really what you want? Algard?”

“Yes, Royal Sister.”

Algard took a deep breath and looked again at Enisphia.

“I want to change this nation, to transform everything. That’s why I chose this path.”

“But nobody wants you to become that kind of king! People wish for you to be the king who values the bonds between individuals, who can join hands with everyone and rule peacefully!”

“What is that!”

Hearing Enisphia’s plea, Algard also erupted with anger.

“Bonds between individuals? Join hands? Don’t pretend I haven’t seen it, don’t pretend I don’t know! I know what the Nobles of this country are like! I know the deep chasm between Nobles and sheer effort! All that is the twisted accumulation of years in Paretia Kingdom! Arrogant Nobles don’t even regard commoners who can’t establish an Elf Contract, who can’t use Elf Magic, as human! I thought you, Royal Sister, would understand this. You, a Princess, have been mistreated just because you couldn’t form an Elf Contract, you know very well, don’t you? Even you as a Princess have been treated that way, haven’t you ever thought about what the commoners face against the Nobles?!”

“I…”

Facing Algard’s rebuke, Enisphia was momentarily rendered speechless, while Algard glared at her, stepping forward.

“That’s right, for this country, the belief in Elves is everything! The Royal Family’s bloodline is just a layer of gilt! I’m just a side character used to elevate Yuriya to the pinnacle of power! Just a king who lends legitimacy to Yuriya! I’m just a gear to maintain the nation’s dignity! Will Yuriya change anything? She won’t! She will only sustain the Nobles, just like before! That’s right, maybe for you, nothing changing is not bad! But I can’t accept that! I am a Prince, the next King, so if not me to make this change, then who?!”

“Prince Algard…”

At that moment, Yuriya also displayed a complicated expression, hearing Algard’s heartfelt words for the first time.

Just then, Algard’s expression suddenly turned icy cold.

“Especially you, Royal Sister. It’s truly laughable.”

“I…?”

“Yes, the Magic Studies you created has threatened the authority of the Nobles. They fear you, dread you. But what did you do? You acted as if it didn’t matter to you at all, just immersed yourself in your own research. What does this country mean to you? You’ve created the most formidable weapon that could overturn it all, but you’ve stored it away high up – a sharp Sword isn’t meant to be a decoration in the room, it’s to be used in battle against enemies! Or to you, is your so-called Magic Studies merely about self-satisfying knowledge?!”

“…”

Enisphia clenched her teeth and fists tightly.

“I know… of course, I know. But reform is about forcibly pushing change, and to realize change, one must force others to suffer. What’s the need to hurry such reform? A decorative king? What does it matter? If the royal family is at peace, isn’t that a sign of the nation’s tranquility? Is reform that imposes change and dominance through Strength really what the people wish for? You, who do not understand even this reasoning, are not qualified to be king!”
