Chapter 159: Opposition

"Yo," I said as I raised my hand to the people inside the meeting room.

All of their heads turned to me while expressing various expressions on their stupidly beautiful faces.

I can pretty much tell now that all of the citizens of this kingdom are a bunch of overly attractive narcissists!

Just like the other rooms in this castle, the meeting room was colored white with a chandelier with a gold body hanging in the middle of the room. Under the chandelier was a large wooden round table with seven people sitting beside it. All of their eyes were on me as if they were watching every movement I made while expressing different expressions on their faces.

"We are about to start, take your seat, Warlord Casimir." King Asmit said while expressing a proud smile.

I raised my index finger. "Just Casimir."

Sitting on both of his sides were the two princes. Prince Hien nodded at me while expressing a gentle smile while on the other hand, Prince Alric did not even bother to look up and just continued to look at the table in front of him while crossing his arms and expressing no emotion on his face. Just like King Asmit, he was no longer wearing his body armor and just a white long sleeve.

I mean, I would prefer Prince Alric's reaction compared to the other four unfamiliar people in the room!

They were looking at me as if I was about to slaughter everyone in this room! However, at least this time, they were trying to hide it by showing their proud smiles on their lips even though their eyes were clearly telling the truth!

As if one of the four could not hold it anymore, he stared at King Asmit with opposition visible in his eyes. "I can not believe you have done this awful misstep, King Asmit. A demon? And not just a lowly demon, a meruem. The worst of the worst. Haven't you learned your lesson 80 years ago? You want another meruem to endanger our nation once again?"

I cleared my throat. "At least let me take my seat first, you know?" I walked towards the wooden chair where Leal, Leo, and Kuro were standing behind and sat on it. I put my elbow on the wooden table and leaned my cheek on my palm while smiling at them. "I see. So, this is what this meeting is all about. Now, continue. Let me hear it."

However, the one who expressed his opposition just stared at me with his shivering eyes.

King Asmit nodded. "Yes. To some extent, the meeting that will happen has nothing to do with it."

"Good." I raised my index finger. "Leo."

"Yes, Boss?"

"Kill anyone who tries to get out of this room before the meeting ends... and also, beat the shit out of anyone who says anything stupid about me."

Leo chuckled as he cracked his fingers. "This will be fun."

The one standing stared at me with great fear in his eyes. He looked to the other people in the room but none of them showed any support for him. "This... this is an awful act of disrespect! You will let a lowl-" He covered his own mouth. "You will let him do whatever he wants?"

"After acting tough earlier, you are now crying for help? Please don't." I smiled at him. "Because believe me, I have been trying to resist my urge to turn you into a barbecued moron. So, I would suggest that don't test my temper or you will get the privilege of experiencing it... Unless, you still want to push your luck."

Slowly, with his shivering eyes, he sat back in his seat and silently looked around the people with him.

All of them were looking down except Prince Alric who was staring at me directly as if he was observing me attentively.

I chuckled and clapped my hands once. "Man! Forgive my pettiness, how immature of me to say such terrible things. I hope it won't cause any trouble."

However, I received no reply. For a few seconds, the room remained silent. Until the sound of someone clearing his throat resonated throughout the room.

King Asmit raised his head and expressed a proud smile while staring at all of us. "Now, with all that said and done... should we proceed to start the meeting now?"
