Chapter 824: A Man Can Only Rely on Himself
A hundred-square-meter bath was prepared for one person. The king lay in the hot water, nerves completely relaxed.
When the Federation first found him, he had nearly pissed himself in fear.
He thought they were there to kill him and almost confessed he was just a stand-in. Fortunately, their polite demeanor kept him from saying anything foolish.
In return, he got the life he now enjoyed.
Unlike other royals who lived in constant fear—worried the Federation would barge in and kill them just like they did to the old king—he was at ease.
Yes, many members of the royal family still believed it wasn’t some political faction that killed the old king—it was the Federation.
Removing the old king was the first step toward controlling the country through a puppet. When the time was right, they would eliminate the rest of the royals. Then Nagaryll would truly be finished.
Everyone lived in fear. The Federation forbade the royals from leaving, which also served as a form of intimidation.
But only the king knew: there was no need to be afraid. Even if the whole world wanted them dead, the Federation needed them alive—and well.
