Huh? Are they all real?.

So much so that Moen was a little unsure how to phrase it.

Trapolis answered Moen as before.

Because Moen did indeed remind him of the Eternal King.

He lowered his head and gave the answer in an extremely lonely voice:

"Because the king is gone, that's all."

Because the king is gone, they are not two goddesses who are hostile to each other.

They were just two pitiful gods who had lost their queen and were huddled together for warmth.

But the king is still alive.

Chapter 160 Why Not Pray to the Lionheart?

Moen didn't know how he got rid of Trapolis.

Just as he didn't know how Adela got in.

"Your Majesty, King of Sword and Shield and Goddess Ansha, I have come on behalf of my mother and father to present a gift to Your Majesty!"

Moen only snapped out of his daze when Adela's voice rang out.

Looking at Adela kneeling below the stage, Moen forced himself to speak:

"I heard you went back to the Pure White Dynasty again, so how are you doing?"

Adela, who knew what Moen meant, gave a wry smile.

This is not something that can be answered directly.

If it weren't for his own actions, Emperor Lloyd might not have lost.

Although it was my father's idea, I was ultimately the one who made the decision.

I was doing it all for my mother, so why am I the one who suffers the most?

In this whole affair, Adela's only consolation was that her father seemed different from before.

So, in response to Moen's question, Adela, kneeling on one knee, said:

"I am fine, Your Majesty."

"That's good."

Adela continued:

“My mother hopes that our friendship will not be affected in any way.”

"At the same time, the gift my mother has prepared for your coronation is that the White Dynasty will abolish all tariffs on Baratheon from this day forward!"

Adela opened the small box she was holding; inside was a divine oracle.

Even for a dynasty, this is a huge concession.

After all, the concessions were made to another dynasty, one that was destined for rapid expansion.

Anyone with even a basic understanding of finance knows how much profit this represents.

However, Ansa did not answer this question; she simply looked at Moen.

Moen said directly:

"As I said before, please thank your father for me. And as for your mother's kindness, please allow me to express my gratitude. Baratheon will not impose additional tariffs on the White Dynasty, but there will also be no reductions."

Moen's meaning was also very clear: I will not accept your mother's favor, but I also do not intend to further worsen our relationship.

I will remember this, but I will let it go for the sake of your king.

But what happens next is up to you.

However, we may not be enemies, but we certainly won't be friends anymore.

Adela was already mentally prepared for this.

And that's probably all his mother wanted.

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty the Sword and Shield King. Please allow me to take my leave!"

After bowing again, Adela prepared to leave.

But Moen called him back again, saying:

"and many more!"

"His Majesty?"

“Seal item 1-666, I’m very interested in that one. If possible, I’d like to trade for it.”

That Level 1 sealed artifact?

Adela's eyes lit up immediately, and she said:

“Your Majesty, I can present this directly to you as a gift on behalf of my mother, hoping to make up for the lack of a gift between us.”

"Then forget it, but if you want to make a deal, I'd be happy to."

Based on the descriptions of those nobles and Moen's own understanding of first-level sealed artifacts.

That sealed artifact is definitely not a top-tier item like Predestined Death.

It should be formed from the extraordinary properties of Sequence 2 or even Sequence 3.

In this case, it might be a one-time product, or at most it might help Moen return to Sequence Two.

For Moen's predicament, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Sequence Two is practically nonexistent.

As for a disposable product, it's not worth Moen gambling on his luck.

As for feigning compliance, Moen had no such intention.

Some things are stupid, but there have to be stupid people who do them. Otherwise, if everyone did brilliant things, the world would be doomed.

Moreover, there are other alternatives.

It's not unique either.

Adela shook her head with a hint of regret and said:

“My mother said she really liked this sealed artifact and told me I had to bring it back.”

"It seems that this is the only way to end it."

Prince Adela bowed slightly and then backed away from the area.

Before leaving, Adela gave Moen and the goddess a complicated look.

Just a few days ago, his identity was still above them.

But now, even if he dies in Baratheon, his own mother might not necessarily fight a bloody battle against Baratheon for him.

No wonder Trajan always looked down on himself.

He really has long considered himself a king.

But why is he so sure he will win?

Before leaving completely, Adela gave Moen a strange look before pondering and departing.

Watching Adela leave.

Moen was a little sad because this was the person on that page of the list who made him feel most relaxed.

The rest must be dealt with with the same care as Trapolis.

And the next person to arrive, if I remember correctly, is...

The two knights, escorted by royal knights, entered the room with respect and solemnity.

Upon arriving before Moen and the goddess's throne, the knights Agravan and Tristan simultaneously knelt on one knee in reverence.

"We are here on behalf of His Majesty the Lionheart."

The opening scene was one that made Moen a little uneasy.

And why only Lionheart?

"The Lionheart?"

Ansa spoke in Moen's place.

Why is the image of the Lionheart representing the Storm Goddess, who is still alive, instead of the Lionheart who has been dead for many years?

In response to the question from the goddess Ansa.

Agguiwen smiled wryly:

"Honorable Goddess Ansa, since His Majesty the Lionheart left us, Your Majesty the Goddess has secluded herself and abandoned herself at the bottom of the Storm Sea."

“We can no longer receive the goddess’s divine message, so we can only follow His Majesty the Lionheart’s last wish and come to pay homage to the two lords in His Majesty the Lionheart’s name.”

The Storm Goddess has long since lost her king.

So she exiled herself to the deep sea.

Before his departure, King Richard the Lionheart decreed that the Knights of the Round Table, whom he had personally selected and assembled, should forever defend their loved ones, their country, and their people.

Even today, the Round Tables still follow the will of the king.

However, the round table has lost its original glory.

Because the round table lost its two most important owners at the same time—the goddess and the king.

Agravivan's bitter smile deeply stung Moen.

For a moment, Moen even considered standing up.

However, Moen held back.

He cannot step forward, at least not as another king.

After swallowing countless bitter words, Moen asked with a slightly heavy expression:

"Does even you all really not know what's going on with Goddess Denise these days?"

The two knights shook their heads and said:

"The only thing we can confirm is that Her Majesty the Goddess is still alive."

"That's it"

In the king's silence, the two knights offered their gifts.

After bowing, they silently backed away.

However, just before they actually left, they both witnessed an incredibly unexpected scene.

The Sword and Shield King, this noble figure, suddenly rose and addressed them:

"If one day you need someone to answer your prayers and the goddess remains silent, you might as well try praying to the Lionheart."

Amidst everyone's silence, confusion, and astonishment, Moen said earnestly:

"Please believe me, because he will definitely respond!"

Chapter 161 I haven't even said you can get up yet (3k)

This statement surprised everyone, but surprisingly, no one went on to elaborate on it.

The two knights just stared blankly at Moen.

After a moment, they bowed again and then left.

Watching them leave, Moen suppressed all his emotions and thoughts and sat back on his throne.

Sensing that her king seemed to be troubled, Ansa spoke directly to the door:

"The audience is suspended!"

There was no mention of phrases like, "But Your Majesty, what comes next is so-and-so."

Because this is a divine decree.
