The reason why Chen Heng and Olivia were opposing each other was not simple.
Looking at the expressions of the rulers around him, he knew that the rulers were all quite displeased with Olivia's actions in recent years.
It was just that because of Olivia's authority and methods, they did not dare to resist or even say anything.
If someone was willing to represent them and speak for them, they would definitely have a favourable impression of them.
This was what Chen Heng wanted.
With the goodwill of the rulers, he would have another card up his sleeve.
In the future, if Olivia continued to sit on the sidelines and her power did not weaken, it would be fine. However, if her power weakened, it seemed that many rulers would retaliate.
When that time came, the Kutu Principality, which had gradually stabilized, would once again fall into chaos.
However, this time of chaos was an opportunity for Chen Heng.
At that time, his actions today would be able to win the support of some lords, and he would gain a bit more power.
As long as Olivia disliked him, Chen Heng did not fear her at all.
He was not an ordinary ruler.
He was the Kutu Principality's Guardian Knight, and after Corripo had left, he had become the number one Knight in the Kutu Principality. His reputation was quite great, and let alone the Kutu Principality, he was even famous in Olis and other kingdoms.
If Olivia really did anything to him, before she did anything, she would be condemned by many people.
Moreover, Chen Heng was a powerful Knight who was close to becoming a Great Knight, and he was the Kutu Principality's greatest trump card. No matter how stupid Olivia was, she would not completely force Chen Heng away.
After all, with Chen Heng's fame and strength, if he was willing to join another kingdom, he would be able to easily obtain a prosperous territory and a high status, and it would not be any worse than what he was now.
Olivia knew this, so she would not go too far.
Moreover, Chen Heng's wife was Olivia's little sister, so with this relationship, Olivia would care about her little sister's feelings.
Similarly, even if Olivia wanted to punish Chen Heng, she would not be able to do so.
Take away his title?
She did not care at all.
Take away Chen Heng's territory?
This was not very realistic.
Chen Heng's territory had always been a piece of empty land, and he had worked hard to build it up. Every inch of land had Chen Heng's mark.
His control over his territory was not something that other rulers could compare to. It was simply impossible for Olivia to use her orders to take over his territory.
If Olivia wanted to confiscate Chen Heng's territory, she would have to start a war.
With the connections that Chen Heng had built up over the years, starting a war with him would mean breaking off relations with all of the northern rulers.
Even though Olivia was the Queen of the Kutu Royal City, she had to consider the consequences and did not dare to act recklessly.
As such, he did not fear her anger at all.
After all, as long as he did not directly fall out with Olivia, there was nothing she could do to him.
Chen Heng understood this, so he did not feel any fear.
Of course, what he had said earlier was indeed his true feelings.
If Olivia continued on like this, it would be too much of a waste, and it could easily lead to a dangerous situation.
If Olivia had listened to what he had just said, it would have been better for everyone.
However, if she had not, Chen Heng would have to make other plans.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng turned and looked at the palace in front of him.
Compared to before, the palace seemed to have gone through many changes, and it was much more luxurious.
From the looks of it, Olivia had spent a lot of time renovating her palace after ascending to the throne.
Chen Heng had heard that Olivia had many male slaves in these palaces.
All of this was quite inconceivable.
Thinking back to the information he had gathered, Chen Heng smiled and turned to leave.
In the next few days, the banquets were held as usual.
It was just that Chen Heng did not continue to participate.
It was just that within the Kutu Royal City, all sorts of news started to spread.
Some people said that Knight Kaelin had privately visited Her Majesty and tried to persuade her, but he had been chased out by Her Majesty.
Some people said that Knight Kaelin had been punished by Her Majesty and had been heavily injured.
All of these things happened at the same time. It was just that in recent times, they were passing by very quickly.
Because of this, the various rulers' impressions of Chen Heng became even better.
As a result, Chen Heng's reputation rose even further.
However, no one knew that all of these rumors had been spread by Chen Heng himself.
Of course, he had done it very cleanly, and even the people who had spread the rumors did not know that they had been purposely spread by someone else.
"It's time to leave …"
Half a month later, Chen Heng rode his horse outside the Kutu Royal City and looked at the city as he muttered to himself.
After coming to the Kutu Royal City, apart from seeing Olivia's current appearance and gaining a bit of prestige from the various rulers, he had not done anything else.
Looking at the time, it was about time for him to leave.
However, Chen Heng knew that at this time next year, he would most likely come again.
After all, what he had said before had most likely been remembered by Olivia.
Even though she would not do anything to Chen Heng, she could still invite him to the banquets every year to disgust him.
However, Chen Heng did not mind.
It was just a competition of disgust.
It was hard to say who would disgust who.
Chen Heng had already made his decision.
If Olivia dared to summon him again, he would act like a loyal subject and raise his reputation in front of the rulers.
If she dared to summon him again, he would continue to raise his reputation.
After making this decision, Chen Heng set out on his way back.
On the way back, he was very careful and cautious.
Even though he felt that Olivia would not be stupid enough to send people to kill him, there were not many things in the world that could be taken for granted, so he still had to be cautious.
However, what was worth celebrating was that nothing unexpected happened. Apart from some unlucky bandits, he did not encounter anyone else.
Just like that, he returned to Sordar and returned to his territory.
Time gradually passed.
Before he knew it, another ten years had passed.
Ten years later, Chen Heng's territory, Sordar City, had become quite prosperous.
Within the city, his subjects walked about, and he would occasionally see warriors and mercenaries with swords and sabers.
From time to time, some beastmen from the desert could be seen walking among them.
