The Golden Throne - Chapter 258

Liu Feng continued to entertain the child for a while. He did not dare disrespect him, and the best that he could do for now was give the boy a really good impression so that he would listen to whatever he said in the future, and would build a good relationship with him. One of peers, rather than that between senior and junior.

Now, Liu Feng knew that he could not rely on the dragon tribe even a little. But after this, he would be able to have some amount of influence over the child’s actions.

“I see that you have been entertaining Dai’er.” Liu Feng heard a voice behind him. He quickly got up.

“Your Majesty. It has been some time.” Liu Feng bowed down slightly.

“We are both kings. I know how inconvenient it will be if a king is seen bowing to another. Especially another king. That will put the entire kingdom at a lower status than the other’s. Thank you for taking care of my child. I forgot that I left him here, and it just crossed my mind that someone in the palace might have found him, and that would cause problems.” Long Che chuckled.

“That will not be a problem. I will make sure that all of the servants will know that he is a very important person and that whatever he wants will be taken care of.” Liu Feng said hastily.

“That is the last thing that I want, young boy. I do not want my child to grow up being a spoilt brat. If everything is handed to him, then he will not know how to earn them. The dragon king is supposed to be the strongest dragon, and he will have to protect the tribe from any adversaries. And, I would rather that he not be thought of as your illegitimate son.” Long Che said.

Liu Feng nodded.

“The thoughts of many run wild. As you wish. But if there is anything that you wish to do, or anything that you want, please tell me. I shall do my best to satisfy you. I owe my life to you after all.” Liu Feng said.

“You owe your life to God, young man. Because only God could have saved you from that blast.” Long Che shook his head as he bent down towards Long Dai.

“Time to get going,” he said.

“Yes, father.” Long Dai replied as he got up. Within the next instant, the both of them disappeared.

“How is a child faster than me?” Liu Feng asked himself, shocked at the fact that his eyes could not follow any of them.

He walked towards his study which was near where he had stopped till now. In fact, he would have been here much earlier if not for him suddenly coming across Long Dai.

“Finally, I am back to work. I have to finish at least some of this so that I can start convincing the scholars a little easier.” he thought to himself.

He started taking some ink into his quill and got back to work. Right at the moment that the quill hit paper, he heard a knock on the door.

“Come in!” he declared.

“Your Majesty! Forgive me for my impudence, but there is a problem!” a guard came in.

“A problem? Of what sorts?” Liu Feng asked.

“Your Majesty, there are people who are adorning church clothes storming the palace and trying to break in. What must we do with them? All of them are of the opinion that you are blaspheming the church. But I know that to be false, is it not?” the guard asked.

“There are people retaliating from the church? Interesting. So this is how they are going to play it? Then I will not slow my hand. Leave these people alone. Just make sure that they are not able to break in. Tell them that they are being misled. As for the church itself, I am sure that they will be in for a slight surprise.” Liu Feng said.

“As you said, Your Majesty. I shall relay the same to the captain of the guard.” the guard said as he ran out.

“You should have closed the door behind you..” Liu Feng said, but his words only drifted through the air.

He got up and went back into the corridor. He frowned slightly as he looked at both sides. There were many guards moving in an array, and they were all going to the entrance.

“Looks like there are a lot more people than I expected. The church is seriously pissing me off. I have to give them a nice greeting after this.” he thought to himself.

He then started walking out of the palace as well, but not through the entrance. Rather, he was going to a separate workshop behind the palace.

Over the last month, with nothing to do, Liu Feng took it upon himself to do a few more things just in case. He knew that after he became king, he would not have the best of support. So, he had to prepare a few insurances. That was why, during the one month that he was completely free, he started working on a lower scale missile.

These missiles would not be like a nuclear missile, and it would not destroy any mana, But, the missile would be sufficient to take care of a small church.

He grinned as he walked into the workshop. He could see that there were a lot of boxes. He walked up to a relatively small one, and took the drape off of it.

“Alright. This will be enough. So then. How will the church react when they are going to be struck down by the same God that they talk about so much? I wonder how Jerusalem will react if they find out that their church was destroyed by a mysterious blast.” he grinned.
