Chapter 1672 - 1692: Smiling Proud Wanderer
In the dark void, the supreme Jake King donned a new mask once more. This mask was that of a jester. Additionally, his attire today was rather outlandish—a vibrant mix of reds and purples, somewhat akin to women’s clothing.
Yet, no one dared to control what Jake King chose to wear, nor would anyone mock him for it.
He received the intelligence about Princess being kidnapped and Jordan Webb’s rebellion while discussing state affairs with the courtiers.
"On the eve of a grand battle, disruptions keep occurring in the rear. My dear courtiers, is there anyone who can ease my concerns?" Jake King’s voice was ethereal and hoarse; he used a false voice, not his real one.
However, the courtiers were long accustomed to this, as Jake King was always like this. At one point, he even spoke in a high-pitched voice, much like a woman’s.
The courtiers merely assumed it was due to Jake King’s cultivation practices or perhaps his intention.
"I am willing to return to the field to rid the court of these petty thieves!" A young woman suddenly stood up, no more than twenty-five or six. She was valiant and dressed in battle armor with a steel blade at her waist.
Perhaps due to years of braving the elements and fighting on all fronts, her skin was somewhat dark and coarse, giving her a rough appearance.
"Angela Presley always likes to be on the front line, so be it!" Jake King laughed heartily, "With Angela Presley returning to the court, no matter how many thieves there may be, they will not escape death. I am at ease!"
The courtiers remained silent. This woman’s surname was Presley; her father was a criminal, but due to Jake King’s broad pardons, her father’s death sentence was lifted. Thus, the Presley family was immensely grateful to Jake King. Later, an extraordinary woman emerged from the Presley family—Angela Presley. Her original name was Hallie Presley, but later she thought it too feminine and changed it to Lennon Presley.
Indeed, her name is Lennon Presley. This woman is a notorious killer and wields significant power; she is the leader of Jake King’s Hidden Guards and has waged wars on all fronts over the years, achieving great military merits.
Of course, few people in the royal court knew of her existence, as she was a Hidden Guard. Though powerful, she was not one of the courtiers.
