Chapter 1363: Chapter 512: The Gate of the Tiger_2

After more than half a year of hurried preparations, the late Emperor was finally laid to rest. The Observatory chose an appropriate day, and the Horizon Bureau consulted the heavens. On this day, the Fifth Prince ascended the throne as the new Emperor, bestowing rewards on meritorious officials and granting amnesty to the world.

Shortly after ascending the throne, the new Emperor secretly sent out a message: everything would remain the same. In other words: everyone could continue to make money, and he would not cut off their sources of wealth.

Owen Bertram, the magistrate, was preparing to leave the capital and return to Summit Metropolitan Office. On this day, he bid farewell to the new Emperor with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I have a gift to congratulate you on your ascension."

"Do you really need to be so polite with me?" asked the new Emperor.

Owen replied, "Just wait, Your Majesty. I guarantee you will like it."

...

The news of Emperor of Wood’s demise reached Sang Island. The King was itching to act! He summoned the National Master several times to discuss plans, but she did not bother to respond to him. The dying fellow was not worth her time and energy any longer.

The King was extremely annoyed. He had long felt that the National Master was high and mighty. His main motivation for wanting to take her into his harem was to "cage" her, with her beauty being a subgoal.

As the Queen, the King could act in the name of the National Master. However, it also meant she could no longer leave the palace at will.

The King believed that this was the perfect opportunity to conquer Eastern Land, and if he did not seize it, the chance would haunt him forever. The National Master ignored his summons multiple times, forcing the King to go to Tenshukaku with some people to meet her in person.

The people accompanying the King were his confidants, like him, strong proponents of war. When they arrived at the foot of Tenshukaku, they were told, "The National Master will allow His Majesty to bring only five people inside."

The King and the officials felt humiliated. Some hotheads even jumped up and yelled, "Is there no respect for the King in this woman’s eyes? Does she need to give permission for everything the King does?"

The disciple who delivered the message just stared blankly at the King without responding. Even though these people were "filled with righteous indignation," none of them dared to barge in.

The King felt extremely humiliated but still managed to force a smile, "The National Master enjoys peace and quiet, so having too many people would indeed disturb her." Thus, the King chose five top officials to accompany him up to the top of Tenshukaku to meet the National Master. This entire process filled the King with rage: He was the King! How dare she make him climb up to see her? This woman was indeed unfathomable! Once he conquered Eastern Land, the first person he would execute would be her!

Six people entered the National Master’s room, with the King wearing a smile on his face. Regardless of his dissatisfaction, he still needed to take advantage of her power for now.

Yet, when the King and the five officials expressed their idea that it was the perfect opportunity to attack the Great Wu— the National Master asked lightly, "Does His Majesty know the current situation of the Great Wu?"

The King hesitated, "What does the National Master mean?"

While playing with Little Black Tortoise, the National Master looked up at the King, "Owen Bertram’s Summit Navy is all gathered in the East Sea. They have a total of forty-seven Celestial Warships. Even with these forty-seven Celestial Warships, Sangdao’s navy wouldn’t be able to break through."

The Sangdao people were well aware of the power of Celestial Warship. The King and the officials’ faces changed, "They already have so many Celestial Warships?"

"That’s just what we can see. I suspect that there are more Celestial Warships hidden in the River Water. If we send troops, these Celestial Warships would enter the East Sea along the River Water. In a day’s time, they could join the battle or even counterattack our Primary Island," the National Master warned.

The King clenched his teeth, "We may still have a chance..."

The National Master bluntly interrupted, "Then how will you deal with Owen Bertram and his twenty-some Sixth Great Realm followers? These people could make it from the Capital to the East Sea in half a day."

Stunned, the King asked, "Does Owen Bertram’s Summit Metropolitan Office have so many Sixth Great Realm experts?"

"They were gathered from Horizon Metropolitan Office, East Prison Town Comfort Office, and South Prison Town Comforting Office," the National Master explained. "Owen Bertram led these powerful people to the Capital to suppress dissent and support their Fifth Prince’s ascension to the throne.

"But if we start a war, they will counterattack us. Your Majesty, how do you intend to deal with them?"

King and his party came, full of righteous indignation, only to leave with frustration.

Little Black Tortoise raised its head and disdainfully said, "Ambitious but incompetent."

The King muttered, "It’s his fault for not keeping his promise. I still have to endure this foolish king."

When the woman was unreasonable, Little Black Tortoise wisely agreed, "Yes, yes, it’s all Owen Bertram’s fault that the National Master is wronged."

It was the King who suffered an injustice. Running all the way to see her and then being driven away with just a few words—where was the indignity? People of Divine Beast Clan were wise. Language, it was an art!

...

After Owen Bertram left the capital, his subordinates returned to their respective posts. He went east alone. Jone waited for him at the shore of East Sea. Upon meeting, Jone repeatedly urged, "Lord, a lone venture into enemy territory to assassinate an enemy chieftain can only be done once. Please, think twice!"

Jone knelt and banged his head on the ground, begging earnestly.

Owen helped him up, "First, tell me about the King’s situation." Jone obeyed and narrated the situation in detail. After finishing, he realized that there was no need for such earnest opposition. As long as his Lord didn’t bump into the National Master, it seemed that he could go to Sang Island, behead the King, and return triumphantly like a white-cloaked swordsman!
