The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 615 Return
"Your Highness..."

At this moment, the Lulong Fortress was filled with people kneeling down. Roland peeked out and saw that, hey! There were quite a few people there!
"No, no, no! I can't accept that! I can't accept that!" Roland waved his hands repeatedly, his face full of utter refusal.

Caslo, standing behind, glanced at the crowd kneeling on the ground, his facial muscles twitching wildly. It was clear that he had tried his best to recall all the sad things he had experienced in his life.

Ajax noticed Caslo's unusual behavior. Looking at Caslo secretly gloating behind Roland's back, she shook her head helplessly, then formed her palms into a blade, and a dazzling fire dragon power burst forth.

"Ouch!" Now Caslo didn't have to hold back his laughter anymore; he clutched his waist and gasped for breath.

"?" Roland turned his head to look at Ajax, who was holding a knife and Caslo, who was baring his teeth, but he quickly turned his head away on his own.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, we thought you..." As the person in charge of the incident, Yun Feng had to step forward and give Roland an explanation.

"So you plan to overthrow Nyx?" Roland asked with a displeased expression.

“If the Queen is allowed to act recklessly, the kingdom will collapse in an instant! We are not only loyal to the royal family, but also to the country!” Yun Feng bowed and said.

"..." Roland was at a loss. After all, Nyx's decision this time was too radical, causing everyone except for Lavian, a brainwashed fan, and Renault to stand against Nyx. Roland had no way to punish them now, because if he really punished these people, the kingdom would not be able to function in the future.

"Go back to your positions! Let's let this go this time, but don't let it happen again!" Roland narrowed his eyes. Even if he wanted to punish them, he was powerless. These people combined already represented more than half of the kingdom.

"Let's go! Back to Swiftstream City!" Although Roland didn't intend to punish these people, he also didn't know how to treat them well. He still needed to maintain his royal dignity!

Ignoring the hordes of people kneeling on the ground, Roland turned and left with a dark expression, leaving the rest of the group looking at each other in bewilderment.

……

"Your Highness? Are we just going to leave like this?" Caslo asked, somewhat puzzled. After all, although this farce was laughable, it was still essentially a coup! If it wasn't punished, there was no guarantee that problems wouldn't arise later.

"What else? Kill Yunfeng and Omske?" Roland said irritably. What he didn't know was that many people there simply disagreed with Nyx's actions and stood by, such as Radil, but their attitudes showed that they did not support Nyx. In terms of their stance, they implicitly stood with Yunfeng and the others. If they took action, it would involve too many people.

"Idiot! Shut up!" Ajax tapped Caslo's helmet, signaling him to stop talking.

"Oh!" Seeing Ajax wink at him, Caslo obediently shut his mouth.

As for Dos Anthony, he remained completely invisible throughout, observing everything with a cold eye, cautiously keeping quiet and focusing on doing more and saying less.

……

"Roar!" The dragon's roar echoed over the city of Jiliu.

Nyx, who missed Roland so much, even lost a shoe while running. She rushed up to the top floor of the castle, waiting for the dragon riders to land.

"Waaah!" Before Roland could even speak, a fragrant breeze rushed into his arms. In the blink of an eye, his breastplate was soaked with tears. Roland hugged Nyx tenderly and gently wiped away her tears, but Nyx's tears flowed wildly like a burst dam, giving Roland no chance to dry them.

"Why...why is this happening...do you know...do you know how worried I was about you!" Nyx screamed hysterically in Roland's arms.

Ajax, along with her brother and Caslo, quietly slipped past Roland. They didn't want to disturb the couple's reunion; being a third wheel wasn't their style. "Alright, don't cry. I won't do it again," Roland said tenderly, gently stroking Nyx's slightly messy hair. It was clear that he had no interest in grooming himself when it came to his wife, whom he had been longing for day and night.

"Waaaaah! You bastard! You're always bullying me! I don't want you anymore! Waaaaah!" The more Roland talked, the more aggrieved Nyx became. She waved her little fists and frantically hit Roland, but the force was... not even enough to tickle Roland.

There was nothing Roland could do but let Nyx vent her emotions. He held Nyx affectionately for almost an hour before her legs went numb and she finally stopped crying.

"Okay? Stop crying? Good girl..." Seeing that Nyx had stopped crying, Roland immediately tried to comfort her. But after Roland had only said a few words, the beauty in his arms suddenly trembled and struggled to break free from Roland's embrace. She turned and left.

"?" Roland quickly followed after him.

"Whoosh!" Roland reached out and grabbed Nyx's small hand, but Nyx shook her hand off.

"Don't be angry..." Roland quickly pulled Nyx back again. He knew that at this time, he needed to be a little thick-skinned and persistent with the girl. She wouldn't let you coax her just because she didn't really need you to... If you took it seriously, you'd be in trouble!
Nyx shook off Roland's hand again, and Roland and Nyx continued to tug at each other all the way to the dormitory door, where Nyx quickly slipped inside.

"Bang!" The heavy wooden door slammed directly into Roland's face.

"Ugh!" Poor King Roland covered his stinging nose and took two steps back, only to hear the sound of the door being locked from inside.

"No? The lady let me in!" Roland was dumbfounded. The dignified king had actually been kicked out of the bedroom! It was utterly ridiculous!
"Go die out there! Don't come back!" Nyx's muffled voice came from inside. Roland's ears twitched; it seemed that Nyx was saying this from under the covers.

"..." Roland stood in the corridor with his arms crossed, somewhat at a loss. He scratched his head and could only lean against the door and wait for Nyx to open it for him.

"???" Upon hearing that Roland had actually returned alive, Lavian rushed over first, only to find Roland leaning against the door with a constipated expression. After glancing at the tightly closed door, he immediately understood what was going on. He looked at Roland, chuckled, and left.

"..." Roland clenched his fists. This bastard really deserved a beating!
"Your Highness!" Renault knelt on one knee in greeting.

"Hmm? General Renault, please rise!" Roland quickly helped Renault up. He had always trusted this commander, who had been with him the longest and whose leadership skills were at their peak. Sure enough, the recent throne crisis had not disappointed Roland's trust in Renault.

"You're so careless! What's the difference between what you did and throwing the kingdom out?" Renault began to berate Roland as soon as he got up.

"Ahem, it was an accident...an accident!" Roland explained, blushing.

"An accident? You died unexpectedly? Don't try to fool me! I know the function of the Bauhinia pendant! You must have perished once!" Renault squinted at Roland with displeasure.

"It's alright, it's alright, I'm still alive, aren't I?" Roland said with an embarrassed smile.

"..." Renault looked at Roland, speechless. If you really died, we'd be in big trouble.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that! It's good that you're back safe and sound! By the way? Who did it? I'll take the Knights to kill him!" Renault said, activating his armor. Instantly, the armor transformed into a stream of light and appeared, encasing him like a metal can.

"Ahem! There's no need for that..." Roland waved his hand. The murderers' deaths were already gruesome enough; there was no need for the Knights to go and desecrate their corpses.
