Chapter 522: Abdication

"That's enough, Peake, how many more deaths do you want before you stop?!Aren't the lives of these soldiers lives?, aren't they your people?" Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info stood heroically in the middle of the courtyard in the confinement circle, righteously accusing King Pique.

Hearing Leo's rebuke, King Pique's face sank and he was about to open his mouth to retort, but before he could speak, Nick's voice came from the side: "Yes, Pique, don't insist on going your own way anymore! You will push the entire Kingdom of Lorraine into the abyss." ā€

Peake turned his head in disbelief and looked at his twin brother, his face trembling and his expression a little hideous, as if he couldn't believe that even Nick was against him.

"Shut up, Nick, I'm doing this to save our Lorraine, and the glory of the Fairman family is not to be tarnished!" Peake yelled at Nick. He didn't expect that at the most critical moment, the people closest to him would drag him back, which made Pique angry even more than Leo's threats and provocations.

"No, you're not saving Lorraine, you're destroying Lorraine!" Leo said to Peake with a calm face, "I came with sincerity this time, and I only brought four followers with me, and I have no intention of making enemies of Lorraine." It's not that I'm threatening Lorraine, it's that you're upset!"

"Can't you see the current situation clearly? Pritz's rise is unstoppable, even if Pritz is still under Lorraine, will you, the king, be at ease? When the time comes, you must still be restless, for fear that Pritz will come over!" Leo's words bloodily revealed the dark thoughts in Pique's heart.

"Why? Why did you do this? Didn't you promise the former king to guard the frontier for Lorraine?" Picke yelled to Leo hysterically.

"That's right, I did promise King Fairman to use Pritz City as a fief to share the pressure of the Paris Empire for Lorraine. I've done it all, and I've done it better, haven't I?"

Leo's rhetorical question left Pique a little speechless. Indeed, what Leo did at the beginning was indeed to resist the invasion of the Paris Empire and the Cult of Light, which Leo did not do wrong, but at that time, no one would have expected that Leo would do such a good job, not only defeated the two major knights of the Church of Light, but also killed the five legions of the Paris Empire in one fell swoop, so that Pritz's strength was greatly expanded, all of which Leo obtained by his ability, and he could not be blamed at all.

Peake's eyes were red, his nose was purging, and the heaving of his chest was so intense that he was agitated. Even if he couldn't blame Leo for his mistakes, he still couldn't accept the status change with Leo.

The suzerain, which was originally high up and Leo had to look up to his nose, suddenly became a stumbling block for Pritz, or the kind that could be kicked away at any time, and this huge gap in situation and psychology made King Peake unacceptable at all.

"Peake, don't be wrong! Lorraine can't stand the toss anymore, what we need now is recuperation, and what our people need is a stable life to soothe the wounds of the war. Our mages need knowledge to grow stronger, and our armies need time to train and equip. Pritz's rise is inevitable, but at least Leo is still our friend!" Nick reassured Pique.

The persuasion from his twin brother made Pique's mood slowly calm down, and the depressed breath in his heart was swallowed temporarily. In fact, even the usually impatient Nick knows this truth, it is impossible for Pique not to know, but since he ascended the throne, that kind of vanity of being self-respecting and condescending to everyone has slowly lost himself, and he feels that the whole kingdom must listen to him, and there is no room for any different voices.

He became more and more self-righteous and arrogant. In particular, Mage Merlin's teaching at the Academy of Magic, Michelle Ney's control of the Praetorian Legion, these things repeatedly stimulated him and made him more and more hostile to Leo, but he never thought about how much Ney trained and led the Praetorian Legion, and how much stability he played in the restoration of Lorraine, and how much valuable magical knowledge and skills Mage Merlin taught the Lorraine magicians.

Now, Pique, after a series of setbacks and losing all his hole cards, coupled with Nick's persuasion, finally slowly recalled his paranoia over the past few days, and almost made an irreparable mistake.

Pique's face was cloudy and cloudy, and his face changed uncertainly, it was obvious that he had realized his mistake, but he could not pull down his head to apologize to Leo, and he could not let go of the dignity and reserve of the king for a while.

"I'm sorry, Leo! Pique really did something wrong this time, but it's good that nothing happened to you, it's just a pity for these loyal guards!" Nick apologized to Leo with a sad face.

Don't look at Nick's usual frizzy and babbling appearance, but at this critical moment, he seems to be more mature than Pique. Peake felt like he had rediscovered his twin brother, and he had mixed feelings.

"No, I should apologize!" Peake said suddenly.

"Leo, I'm wrong about you, it's all my fault!" Peake pursed his lips and said to Leo.

Then Pique looked at the palace guards who were still guarding him and said, "I'm sorry for the guards who sacrificed for the royal family and for me!

The remnants of the palace guards were silent for a while, their chiefs and hundred-chiefs had basically been killed in battle, and no one came out to deal with them for a while, and there was a long embarrassment in the field.

"I will bear my mistakes!Nick, it turns out that I am not qualified to be the king, so in the future, you will take over the burden of the Fairman family, and lead all the people of our Lorraine Kingdom to tide over the current difficulties together!"

Pique's words surprised Leo and Nick, and Pique was going to automatically abdicate and give up the king to Nick. Such a punishment can really be said to be very serious for a king, and it also shows that Pique really recognizes his mistake and repents.

But what they didn't notice was a flash of cruelty on Peake's lowered face. Today, this situation is difficult to clean up, and Pique can only abdicate to throw the pot to Nick, who has a closer relationship with Leo, believing that Leo will not make it difficult for Nick, so as to save his life.
