Chapter 220 - Confusion

"Where am I?" Julius asked himself as he woke up with an exhausted grunt as he didn't even know how long he had been sleeping. Julius could feel that he had lost quite a lot of weight and didn't know why. Beside him was Rosie who sat on a chair while placing her head on the bed which Julius was sleeping on. She seemed exhausted but still wanted to stick by Julius side.

However it was odd for Julius to see her as he remembered clearly killing her as he poured magma on his face and killing her brutally. As such, it was as if he was looking at a ghost.

"I see you're finally awake my king," said Ian as he stood on a near by wall while watching over Julius.

"'my king'? Wait you still see me as your king even after what I did to you? Do you not hold resentment towards me for what I did to you during the battle?!" Julius asked in confusion as he believed that the actions which he partook in during his battle with Henry against his very own comrades were far too much and were unforgivable.

"Of course not. Who are we to hold resentment against you my liege. After all, we were all far too weak to resist being overtaken by Henry's secret art. It should be you who should hold resentment over us. You were forced to kill us and that wouldn't have happened if we were stronger. How could we even call our selves your subjects after the heinous acts we committed against you?" Ian said which just confused Julius as he never thought of the situation like that. To Julius, Ian and the other had done nothing wrong. There was no way he could blame them for not being strong enough. After all, there was no way for them to know that Henry would be such a powerful treat. Although Julius wanted to tell Ian that they were not in the wrong, he knew that as king, he wasn't allowed to show any sign of weakness. That also included having to act tough of his subjects when they were not in the wrong to solidify his power.

"Look, just don't worry about it," said Julius as he wanted to make sure that he was clearly the one which stood in power but still didn't want to feel as if he was a monster which didn't care in the least for his subjects. Due to this, Julius thought it would only be right for him to reassure his subjects that he did not take offence to the actions they had taken against him.

Although Julius and Ian were talking so that they could have a proper conversation for once, Rosie woke up to interrupt them as she had been awoken by the sudden noise that was being created through the conversation which Julius and Ian was partaking in.

...

After Rosie had awoke from her slumber, all she did was sit down properly on her chair before staring deep into Julius eyes as she didn't know what else to do. She was completely frozen in space from both embarrassment as well as confusion as she hadn't expected Julius to wake up only to see her sleeping next to him which Rosie beloved to be a pathetic sight.

"uhhh..." Julius said as he didn't know what else to say. However right as that sound came out of his mouth, Rosie quickly stood up from her chair before storming off out of the room. Non a particularly angry way but just due to her being too flustered to even react to anything.

"Well that was interesting," said Julius to which Ian just simply nodded without giving a reply.

"Anyway, I've been meaning to ask, where are we right now and how long have I been sleeping for?" Julius asked Ian as that was the real question which he had wanted to be answered since the moment he had awoke from his deep slumber.

"Well, for your first question, we're currently back in the 10th continent. After your victory against the other 9 kingdoms, their people have been in shambles. As such, we've sent our forces to start taking over those lands and making sure that every person there knows that you'll be the new king of their kingdom, no, that's wrong. They'll know that you're going to be the king of this world," said Ian in a proud statement. 

"As for your second question, due to you having exhausted most of your energy during your battle with Henry and his forces, you've been out cold for nearly 20 days. Most of your wounds had been healed in just the first hour of the battle being concluded. However your mental state seemed to have been completely exhausted. At one point, we were scared that you would never wake up. In all truth, that was the reason that Rosie had decided to stay by your side. It was so that incase you decided to never wake up, she would want to spend the rest of her life at your side as it was the one thing which she wanted to do but would never get the chance to do so. Nevertheless, you're awake now so it seems that she plans on delaying that goal of hers even further," said Ian as he explained to Julius.

"So it seems that everything is going well. All I have to do now is to stabilize my lands and leave someone in charge of this world for the time being while I go to heaven to take place in the event which I was supposed to go to a while ago," Julius thought to himself.

In that moment, someone once again opened the door to Julius' room which at first Julius thought it was Rosie once again however it was just a regular guard. However he seemed to have been holding a skinny rectangle object in his hand. Something which resembled a cellphone of some kind.

"... yes, he's awake now. Send in the nukes"
