Ryuga never had the habit of raising a tiger. As long as he confirmed that it was an enemy, he would eliminate it as soon as possible.
Although the King did have a certain value, there were many ways to eliminate him. There was no need to kill him.
At this moment, Ryuga's choice was — —
Brainwash him.
Make him his slave and recognize him as his master. As long as he gave an order, he must do his best to complete it.
With the power of Rune of the Origin, it wasn't difficult to do this.
As long as he modified his memories and tampered with his will, he would become Ryuga's loyal slave and puppet. Everything would be done according to Ryuga's will.
Under the erosion of the runes, the light in the King's eyes quickly faded and his eyes gradually became hollow. Then, he lowered his proud head and knelt before Ryuga.
"Master."
The brainwashing was successful.
This was the power of the almighty Rune of the Origin.
"I will pass on the order later. Get it done as soon as possible."
Ryuga glanced at the kneeling King and said calmly, "Other than that, do what you should do. Don't make anyone suspicious."
"Yes."
The King bowed his head respectfully. There was no longer any arrogance in his expression.
In his memories, he was already Ryuga's slave a long time ago. Everything he said and did was according to Ryuga's orders.
Of course, this kind of brainwashing wasn't absolute.
As long as his will was strong enough, for example, if he was comparable to the Sword Saint with the Heart of Mirror Still Water, there was still a possibility of breaking through the brainwashing.
But unfortunately, the King's will was more than one dimension away from that realm. If there were no accidents, he wouldn't be able to escape from Ryuga's control for the rest of his life.
The room quickly regained its peace.
However, no one knew that the true ruler of this country had changed in just a few minutes.
…
The next morning.
The spies that were planted in the manor were all removed. Instead, professional maids were sent out from the palace to serve Ryuga.
"They retreated so quickly."
As soon as she got up and planned to do morning exercises, she saw the maids coming in and out of the manor. She couldn't help but sigh secretly. "It seems that Sir Yin-yang has already solved this matter."
Although she was a little inflexible, she wasn't stupid. Just by looking at the situation in front of her, she already knew what was going on.
She didn't know how Ryuga did it, but in her opinion, Ryuga, who was willing to step forward to rescue the Saiat Domain from the waves, would definitely not resort to underhanded means. She should have resolved the matter peacefully.
Of course, Sir Yin-yang's decision to have the Flying Dragon show his might yesterday was definitely not a despicable act.
As one of the strongest people in the world, Yin-yang deserved to be treated well. What happened yesterday was the fault of the king and his officials for being too arrogant and not taking Yin-yang seriously.
"If it's the Queen, she definitely won't let this happen."
In Ryuga's mind, the true ruler of the country, the Queen, had always been very wise.
If it's the Queen, she would definitely be on good terms with Yin-yang at the first moment, allowing both sides to maintain long-term friendship and mutual benefits. She wouldn't be so self-righteous as to take him under her wing.
"Ryuga?"
While she was imagining such a scene in her mind, Ryuga's voice entered her ears. Ryuga immediately turned around and looked over with a straight posture.
"You haven't left yet?"
Ryuga came to the open space in front of the building and asked Ryuga casually.
This was a place in the manor specially used for practice. There was a weapon rack set up beside it, with several swords and spears placed on it.
"Don't you need to go back and deal with the matters of the territory?"
The Saiat Territory had just been ravaged by the tidal wave, and there was still a lot of work to be done. Ryuga thought that Ryuga wouldn't have time to idle around in the Royal Capital. Ryuga thought that she would definitely rush back to the Saiat Territory early in the morning.
By the way, the Saiat family was a hereditary aristocracy. In other words, now that the feudal lord had died, Ryuga was the rightful next feudal lord of the Saiat Territory.
"I've already delegated all the work to deal with the aftermath of the tidal wave."
Ryuga raised her head and puffed out her chest, confidently saying, "I have some confidence in my management ability. In the past, I often helped father take care of the affairs of the territory. Even if I'm not in the territory for a short period of time, there won't be any problems."
The management work of this era was far less troublesome than that of later generations.
The mayors, governors, and other officials of later generations basically had to manage the areas under their jurisdiction in all aspects. They might be so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground at the end of the day, and if something happened, they would be held accountable by the higher-ups.
But this era was different. The economic development of the territory, the strict law enforcement, and so on didn't require the feudal lord to get involved. Even if he wasn't in the territory for a long time, there would rarely be any problems.
Of course, if there was a tidal wave, a bandit, or a powerful magical creature, it would be purely due to luck.
"Moreover, I have one more thing … I have a presumptuous request."
Ryuga's eyes suddenly became evasive as she looked at Ryuga. Her face blushed a little, and her fingers seemed to feel embarrassed as they played with the ends of her hair.
"Actually, when Sir Yin-yang beheaded the Cerberus, I already … already admired Sir Yin-yang. So since then, I've been thinking … thinking …"
She took a deep breath, clenched her teeth, and suddenly bowed to Ryuga before speaking loudly.
"I want to ask you to accept me as your disciple and teach me swordsmanship!"
Ryuga's heart was very nervous.
She admired Ryuga very much and respected him very much.
But what she admired even more was his demeanor of killing the Cerberus in one strike.
That lightning-fast strike was still lingering in her mind. Every time she recalled that scene, she felt her blood boil and was very excited.
So, since then, the thought of worshipping Ryuga as her master had secretly risen in her heart, and it didn't dissipate for a long time.
The reason why she decided to come to the Royal City with Ryuga was not only to report to the King, but also because she had the idea of worshipping Ryuga as her master.
But Ryuga's position in her heart was extremely high, even higher than her father's, reaching a position that she felt was unattainable. So, she had been very nervous, afraid that Ryuga wouldn't accept her as his master.
Until now, she had no reason to follow Ryuga. So, although she was still nervous, she decisively chose to be his disciple.
"Accept me as a disciple? Teach me swordsmanship? "
Ryuga raised his eyebrows slightly and then fell into deep thought.
