Chapter 492: I Agree

“King Landhar III, you are truly a terrifying monster. Even if you are doing this for Avril, how can you kill your lover and children who have accompanied you all these years?”
Sylvan’s expression when he looked at King Landhar III changed, becoming conflicted.
“I told you, I did that willingly.”
King Landhar III’s expression was still cold. “So, Sylvan, are you going to help me? You should have the same thoughts as me regarding Avril’s resurrection, right?”
“I’m sorry, I still can’t believe what you said unless you can prove it to me.” Sylvan’s gaze wavered for a moment, but it quickly became firm. He had prepared for more than ten years to take revenge on King Landhar III. Now that he finally stood in front of the monarch, he would not waver just because of a few words.
After a few seconds of silence, King Landhar III nodded. “Okay, I got it.”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and a few black shadows immediately appeared around him. They came before him and transformed into women dressed as maids, bowing respectfully.
“Your Majesty.”
On the surface, they were maids, but they were actually assassins that King Landhar III had trained to be by his side.
“Get Isabella here. Summon the Third Prince and Kiana here as well.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The maids quickly turned into streaks of light and left. After a while, Isabella and Kiana arrived at the depths of the garden.
“Your Majesty, you’ve never allowed us to enter this garden. You’ve always treated it as a restricted area. Why do you summon us here now? Also, regarding the deaths of our two sons, I feel that it has something to do with Watson. Please tell me the truth. This is not a request from the queen but a mother.”
After Isabella reached the depths of the garden, she made a request to King Landhar III. Then, her gaze fell on the roaring zombies in the garden, as well as the huge coffin in the middle and the woman inside. Her expression froze.
“That… that is…”
“Isabella, just as you thought, the person in the coffin is my former lover, the late Queen Avril! Didn’t you want to know the truth? I’ll tell you now. I’ve never loved you. You and your children are only my pawns. Now that I’ve found a way to resurrect Avril, I have no more use for you. You can be the nutrients to nourish Avril’s body.”
“Your Majesty, is this a joke? I must have heard it wrongly.” Isabella’s face was pale as she took two steps backward.
King Landhar III turned around and spoke to the Third Prince.
“I planned for the battle in the sky. I wanted to occupy Watson’s body. He is the key to resurrecting Avril. Furthermore, my body is too old, and Avril’s body remains the same. I needed a younger body. So, I killed two of my sons. You must have been veshockedhen I told you to look for treasures. I was delighted with what you had presented, so why did I dismiss you? I only needed two incompetent princes to sacrifice them to the gods. You did a good job, so I let you go.”
“Father, please don’t say anymore.” The Third Prince covered his ears and shook his head. He did not dare listen anymore.
“I have already told you the truth. I believe you have no complaints even if you were to die here today.” King Landhar III finally looked at Kiana and used the gentlest tone to say the most ruthless words. “Kiana, my daughter, I have always doted on you. I have fulfilled all your requests since you were young. Now it’s your turn to help me. Die for me, okay?”
“Do it.” King Landhar III waved his hand. The maids immediately turned into black shadows and appeared behind Isabella and her two children. Their daggers reflected a cold light and slashed at their throats.
Desperation appeared in their eyes as they were about to die. They could no longer make any sounds. The daggers had touched their skin, cutting through their capillaries and allowing their blood to seep out. At that moment, a spark appeared in the air and rapidly grew, turning into a small blazing sun.
The light engulfed the assassins’ daggers and melted them into boiling liquid. The assassins retreated because of the heat.
Roar!
Two enormous translucent wings spread out on Sylvan’s back. The wings flickered with colors. Colorful pollen flew by with the wind as the wings flapped gently, landing on Isabella’s and the children’s necks. The pollen fused into the wound, instantly healing them.
“King Landhar III, enough! You’re too wicked.”
“Sylvan, didn’t you want me to prove it to you? I’m trying to do that. Why are you blaming me?” King Landhar III seemed puzzled.
“I understand what you’re thinking, but these people are innocent. Let them go.” Sylvan glanced at Isabella and the children. He did not have a good impression of that queen. After all, that woman had replaced Avril. However, he pitied her.
“That won’t do, Sylvan. They’ve already known my secret. I won’t give them a chance to leak it to anyone.”
King Landhar III raised his right hand, and a giant black ball appeared. It emitted a constant gravitational force as if it was about to land before Isabella and the other two. At that moment, the dragon wings on Sylvan’s back flapped slightly, and he instantly appeared in front of King Landhar III. “I’ve said enough!”
As his voice fell, everything around him changed. The flowerbed on the ground extended infinitely, and clusters of blooming pansies appeared. The zombies disappeared, and so did Isabella and the palace. In the endless sea of flowers, Avril, wearing a long golden dress, was not lying in a coffin but sitting in the flowerbed. She hugged her knees and looked at Sylvan and King Landhar III.
“The Kingdom of Illusion!”
That was the starlight-tier ability that Sylvan had mastered after he became a Dream Elven dragon. He could forcefully pull others into the illusion that he had created.
“Avril.”
As he turned his head to look at Avril, who was sitting in the flowerbed and brushing her hair that the wind caressed, the black ball in King Landhar III’s hand dissipated. A thought appeared in his eyes.
“Frier, Brother Sylvan, you two are idiots. Instead of appreciating the flowers, you are fighting. What if you hurt these flowers because of that?”
King Landhar III opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to admit his mistake. Suddenly, he turned around to see a younger Sylan—an illusion. “Sylvan, do you think this is enough to trick me?”
“Frier, I don’t mean to belittle you. I just needed a moment to protect the Empress and the two children! There is another reason I dragged you here. Now that there are only the two of us here, we can have a good chat.. Regarding the matter that you suggested, I agree to help you.”
