Chapter 1814: Revised: Chapter 550 Machinery Ascension_4

This guy isn’t a loner; behind him stands the Puppeteer God Family.

....

Before he could figure out how to start, Lenny took the initiative to change the topic, "By the way, Leonard Churchill, I have a question. I’m not sure if I should ask or not..."

Leonard Churchill saw his expression and had already guessed, so he said, "Just ask, it’s no problem."

Obviously, Lenny had been contemplating this question throughout their journey, and finally, with some reluctance, he opened his mouth, "Um... I want to ask, Your Majesty... are you familiar with His Majesty?"

Leonard Churchill knew what he wanted to ask, so he smiled and said, "Yes, I’m quite familiar."

He knew it would be difficult for a minister to ask this question, so he directly said, "You want to know what’s going on with Orlan’s kingship, right?"

The truth behind the internal strife and power usurpation within the Orlan Royal Court was not known to many.

But Leonard Churchill was one of the very few who knew the whole story.

Lenny’s expression showed slight embarrassment, but he nodded, "Yes."

Leonard Churchill didn’t beat around the bush and directly said, "The story is long... it all started with the illegitimate daughter of the previous King of Orlan..."

Since Camilla chose the path of kingship, her experiences couldn’t be hidden.

In fact, her tumultuous past as an illegitimate child was not a stain but rather an addition to her greatness as a ruler.

Leonard Churchill talked about how Camilla merged with the [White Queen] origin card. Later, there was the usurpation by Arthur’s lineage, and then the orphan entrusted to the care of the great priest Susu Garcia... and many other things related to Orlan’s kingship.

As he said this, Lenny’s expression became increasingly complex, realizing what a coup had transpired in Orlan’s royal court.

Hearing Camilla’s experiences, he became increasingly angry at the current "fake king" in Orlan’s royal court.

Originally, he thought that King Arthur might have made some unwise choices out of an urgent desire to restore the glory of his ancestors.

But now he realized that all along, the throne had been occupied by someone who merely coveted power and usurped it!

Did this not imply that the Playgod Clan was a rebel’s accomplice?

In an instant, Lenny felt that his family’s honor was tainted.

He blamed his expulsion on his lack of skills and had never complained about the family, always feeling proud of his lineage.

But now...

The once honorable Four King’s Knights had become the accomplices of a usurper?

The opportunity was right before him.

It just so happened that the exiled Emperor Camilla was a friend of a friend.

This old puppet master, standing at the end of his life, felt a surge of stirring emotions, and a thought emerged: he must restore the glory of the Playgod Clan!

....

Lenny believed Leonard Churchill unquestionably!

This wasn’t just trust between friends.

It was also because he had grown up in the royal court.

Although he was expelled before Camilla was born, those things simply couldn’t be lies.

He knew very well the rules of royal inheritance; anyone who could merge with one of the two Demon Marks, [White Queen] or [Tyrant], was the heir to kingship!

This was the rule they, the Four Knights, had to uphold!

Furthermore, only those recognized by the Great Priest Lineage could inherit the kingship!

Both conditions indicated that Emperor Camilla was the only legitimate heir to the Augustus Imperial Clan’s kingship.

After hearing the facts Leonard Churchill recounted, Lenny’s heart was in turmoil.

Although Lenny was a loser in the internal family strife, as someone who had been hailed as a puppet genius since childhood, he had his pride and pent-up frustrations.

Supporting a fake king? What was that?

He had lived a solitary life before, but now, knowing that he had a grandson and could continue his family line, his thoughts immediately reignited.

After all, he was part of the Playgod Clan, a family with a proud honor as the Four King’s Knights; how could he let his family be shamed and his descendants be in the dark, loyal to a fake king?

Thinking of this, Lenny’s old face became determined as he looked at Leonard Churchill and said, "Um... Leonard Churchill, I want to ask you for another favor..."

When he met Camilla earlier, he had already been deeply impressed by her kingly aura.

But due to the circumstances, many things were left unsaid. Now, he had no more reservations.

Leonard Churchill knew what he wanted to say and replied, "You want me to make an introduction?"

"Yes!"

Lenny solemnly nodded, performed the Knight’s Oath of loyalty, and said, "If His Majesty does not find me unworthy... I... I humbly ask His Majesty to allow me to serve. Even if I have to sacrifice these old bones, I will restore the glory of the Playgod Clan!"

Leonard Churchill calmly said, "Alright. I will convey your message."

Camilla wasn’t a loner anymore; her strength and influence were almost on par with Orlan’s royal court.

However, to truly claim the throne, she still lacked the foundation.

And Lenny’s strength and character were entirely fitting for the title of King’s Knight.

But Leonard Churchill had even grander plans in mind; there were four families of the Four King’s Knights, and he was also curious about who Lenny’s old partner was.

As he was thinking, he suddenly saw numerous soldiers boarding the ship at the dock.

Leonard Churchill saw this and a smile appeared on his lips, "Are they finally starting to evacuate..."

Once the evacuation started, it meant they had decided to abandon Sinless City.

This game between the Iris Legion and the Orlan Royal Court would end in mutual destruction.

Lenny discerned Leonard Churchill’s thoughts but was still somewhat uncertain, "Leonard Churchill, just the two of us going? What I mean is, Orlan may send top experts..."

He didn’t underestimate Leonard Churchill; after all, when they last met, he had just entered the Sixth Tier but already had legendary combat power.

Now, he must be even stronger.

However, he knew more about the foundation of the Four King’s Knights’ families.

If they came prepared, it wouldn’t be something that the Seventh Rank could solve.

But before he could say more, Leonard Churchill’s eyes glinted with a faint Divine Radiance, and he smiled calmly, saying, "No matter."

"???"

This nonchalant "No matter," left Lenny stunned.

He vaguely realized that perhaps he had underestimated his old friend?
