True King's Ecstasy

"So you don't mind us living in your old house?" Looking at the duo in front of him, Velian questioned with him comfortably sitting on the soft-looking sofa.

*Sigh

"If I said I don't mind, it would be a lie, but I'm the loser and you're the winner, beside you had enough chance to kill us, but you didn't-" Julius looked at his sister and girlfriend.

"Besides, you protected both their honour and life,"

Velian looked at Julie, who was looking at him with a strange look. He just ignored her and went back to talking with Julius.

"Well then good, don't worry you will get a proper mansion in future, besides I'm thinking of making you a count in my new kingdom,"

Hearing his words, everyone in the room looked conflicted.

"People won't like it, they hate the previous royal family, well I don't blame them, we were so hanged up on war that we actually neglected to feed our citizens,"

Julie also nodded her head showing, she doesn't want any problem.

Until now, the survival of the royal family under Velian's protection remained a secret so revealing it in front of a huge crowd felt absurd to him.

"Hmm~ that's a problem, what should we do? But I think even though some of them hate you, there are people that love your family, especially you,"

Velian pointed at Julie.

"Innocent princess, who was the previous rose flower of the kingdom,"

Julius also smiled at his words even though, he knew current Julie won't like to hear something like that.

"I'm not a flower anymore, that flower is now rotten, I want to be a strong tree instead of a flower," Looking at Velian with a determined look, Julie muttered with her fist tightly holding the sofa.

"Mmh~ what do we do?" Velian thought for a minute about the best thing he can do.

"Julie, do you have someone you love?" Hearing Velian's question, she blushed a little but quickly refused.

"Good! How about this? You and I will pretend we have a relationship," Velian said with a straight face showing it was all business for him.

But Julie was dying inside of embarrassment.

"People will see this as a bond between the old royal family and the new royal family since most of the people like you, they will accept it and our foundation will become even strong,"

Velian couldn't help but see this as an ideal situation to stabilise the kingdom and bring both the old royal family faction and the new faction together.

"Hmm~ but if it's a fake one, won't people get angry if they got to know?" Julius' girlfriend questioned like she was trying to do something.

Julius looked at her with his eyes narrowed for a minute.

"Well, It's true, it will be disadvantageous for her because she won't be able to have a normal relationship and find her true love, but the decision is up to you," Looking at Julie, Velian said with a slight smile showing he won't say anything even if she disagrees with him.

"My lord, why don't you take her as your real concubine? She is good-looking and a really good girl,"

Julie and Julius both jumped from their seats hearing this request.

"Whatttt- areee- you talking about sister?" Julie's whole face was red but Julius looked a little bit dissatisfied.

"Sir Velian, I need to clarify something," Julius suddenly questioned like it was something he was meaning to ask for a long time.

"I heard some wild rumours about your love life," In an awkward tone, he asked.

"Like what?"

"I heard you have more than five girls with you and you-" Julius hesitated for a bit.

"You have a relationship with your sister,"

As soon as they said that even usually calm, sister in law also felt her mind going crazy.

Julie felt like someone dropped a bomb on her head.

"Ohhh~ where did you hear that from?" Velian didn't look like he cared at all as he questioned with a smile and continued.

"Well, I don't care about the source but that's true," But he didn't stop there as he continued making everyone in the room even more surprised.

"I have a relationship with both of my sisters and also my mother, I have no intention of keeping it a secret,"

Julius didn't even know how to react to this. He couldn't even imagine how could someone have a relationship with their own mother.

"Don't you think it's a little too absurd," Julius questioned concerned about what would happen if the people in the kingdom got to know about this.

"You're misunderstanding something, Julius," Velian got close to him and looked into his eyes.

"I have no intention of depending on citizens unlike your previous kingdom, I will develop this kingdom so much that people will actually forget they have a king but the moment they decided to go against me, they will know my existence," Julius felt his legs shaking looking at Velian's eyes.

He used some intimidating techniques bit, but Velian didn't go overboard because he wanted Julius to have some dignity.

"I will make this land a blood lake if needed but this kingdom will remain as a paradise, no matter how decided to attack us, people will happily fight for me in wars without caring about hunger," He kept telling different things.

By now Julius and Julie's idea of Velian being a kind leader vanished even faster than air trapped inside a bottle.

"I think your father is right, we should fight wars but he wasn't capable of keeping his people delighted, I won't make the same mistake, even if someone dies tomorrow people would commemorate deaths with food instead of tears,"

He went back to his chair and looked at Julius once again.

"So what's your answer? Do you want to become a count and serve under me or not?" Then he looked at Julie.

"What about you? Do you want to be my fiance?"

Velian didn't wait for their answer, as he gave them time to think and went back to meet Daphnia.

As soon as he left, Julius' girlfriend looked at the door and muttered.

"What a wild man!"
