Chapter 152: Holy Power (3)
King Barbosa of the Denian Kingdom finally let out a sigh of relief. “It’s over.”
For some time, his kingdom had been plagued by Nano’s actions, a crisis that shook the neighboring Lutein Kingdom.
The royal capital of the Lutein Kingdom had collapsed due to the Demon Realm’s incursion, leaving only a single royal survivor. It was an event so severe that it threatened the very existence of that kingdom.
Now, at last, it had reached a temporary resolution.
Although a host of smaller issues remained, they were no longer Barbosa’s responsibility. At this point, it was up to the sole surviving member of Lutein’s royal line—Elene—to straighten things out.
Barbosa rubbed his forehead as though exhausted. For over a month, he’d barely slept while handling countless emergencies.
Sounding morose, he muttered, “I wish I could take a vacation.”
Of course, that was impossible. The world was still in turmoil, and his own capital—half-destroyed by the two named demons—remained far from fully rebuilt. There was an endless list of things that demanded his attention, but at least the most pressing external threats had been dealt with.
Finally able to pause, Barbosa leaned back against his throne and closed his eyes. He was just beginning to relax when he sensed someone behind him.
“Your Majesty,” a voice called out.
Barbosa opened his eyes. “Maximus?”
“Yes,” Maximus replied with a subdued look. His emotions barely registered on his face.
