Blood and brain matter fell from the platform along with the headless corpse. For a moment, the civilians who witnessed this scene couldn't react in time because this was beyond their scope of understanding.
The high and mighty King who would be punished with a single glance died before their eyes. And the sacred golden blood that they boasted was nothing more than the same scarlet blood as them.
It was worthless and abnormally miserable.
Nasus felt that it was a pity because this guy didn't have to die. As long as he was slightly conscious, it would be fine. But it was a pity that he wasn't.
"So, what's your choice? Will you follow a fake ascended bloodline, or will you follow me and serve the real ascended bloodline and make this shattered nation great again? "
Holding his battle axe in his hand, Nasus looked at the guards who wanted to attack him and asked his question.
"Have you forgotten the grace that Her Highness has shown you?!"
Most of the soldiers looked at Nasus and their silent comrades who were about to launch an attack, but Nasus's words made the guard captain, who had a few broken ribs, roar in anger. They swallowed their saliva and left the space to these people. The moment they retreated, Nasus swung his cane and smashed a bluish-purple flame in front of them. Those who still wanted to remain loyal died in the flames that seemed to have come from the underworld.
The guard captain was no exception. Even though he rushed to Nasus, he didn't manage to launch an effective attack at all. Nasus' powerful battle axe smashed him into pieces along with the platform under his feet. A part of the strength in his soul wrapped around Nasus' battle axe and increased its power.
Nasus was a very decent person to the Shurima people, and a very kind person to most people. That was why he wouldn't use magic to toy with the souls of the dead or use others' souls to become stronger. However, this wasn't the case with his weapon from the Shurima Empire. Every enemy that he deemed as an enemy of Shurima would die under his axe, which would strengthen the axe's power and allow Nasus to serve the Empire better.
As soon as the guard captain died, those who didn't escape, had ulterior motives, or simply didn't leave out of fear obediently knelt before Nasus and placed their weapons on the ground to express their allegiance. One of the men, who seemed to be in a high position, crawled over to Nasus and introduced himself when Nasus looked at him.
"I'm this city's Governor, the great Son of the Desert, Sir Nasus. May I know if you're going to rule this city?"
He was a little nervous, because being able to reach the position of director was already enough to prove his ability and faction. But because things happened too suddenly, if he didn't escape, he would have left the city by now. After all, even though the position of a Governor came with a lot of benefits and power, it also came with danger.
"No. In this world, only the ascended bloodline has the legal right to own and rule the land of the Shurima Empire."
Nasus shook his head, but his next words made the Governor heave a sigh of relief.
"But the ascended bloodline isn't strong enough to take on such a position, so I'm temporarily acting as the city lord of this city. And if your performance meets the standards, you can continue to take on this position. "
Nasus was telling the truth. He wasn't stupid. It was obvious that Sivir hadn't received any education from the Shurima Empire. Directly promoting her to a high position would only harm others and himself. That was why he would temporarily take over and hand over the power to her when she was strong enough. Moreover, he didn't change his mind, nor did he want to go solo after doing it for a long time. Because he didn't know how many years ago, he could have done so, but he gave up without even thinking about it.
But to the mortals, this was just him being protective of his reputation. After all, only he could decide who had the ascended bloodline. So it didn't matter to the mortals whether he chose the ascended bloodline or not. To most people, the death of the king wasn't a big deal. It wasn't a big deal. The management of the city that was close to ruins and killing the king wasn't a problem for Nasus at all. So in just half a day, the city settled down. And because the new ruler was the famous Nasus, a Celestial Warrior, the citizens felt more at ease.
"That's fast. As expected of Nasus. His actions and decisiveness. As expected of a thousand-year-old … wise man."
Li Ke, who heard about Nasus in the tavern, couldn't help but praise him. He felt that this was obviously Nasus's plan. Li Ke thought that Nasus wouldn't care about Sivir, but now it seemed that he had underestimated him.
"So it's true that wherever you go, trouble will follow."
Sarah picked up a piece of roasted lamb with a fork and didn't forget to mock Li Ke. She let out a long sigh and looked at Youmi, who was engrossed in eating and drinking, and Sivir, who had abandoned her ladylike image. She felt powerless.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. If that person is the one you're looking for, doesn't that mean we have a queen as an ally in the future?"
She pointed her fork at Sivir, who was beginning to reveal her true nature.
"Ha … I don't think that thing has anything to do with me."
Sivir, who still didn't believe Li Ke's words, couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Then she gulped down a mouthful of water and continued speaking.
"But to be honest, if I become the king, the country will be destroyed in less than a month, right? After all, I don't know anything about those troublesome matters. If I become the king, I will only make a mess of everything. Then, I will think of a way to rob the treasury and go to a place where no one knows me to be a mercenary. "
She didn't yearn for the life of a king at all because she was afraid of being betrayed. But there would never be a lack of betrayals around the king.
"I see."
Li Ke also took a sip of water.
"Then what do you think a country is? Sivir. "
