The king had not expected that these people would work together so unitedly.

There are frequent frictions between the principalities.

Today you swallow up my small village of ten people, tomorrow I'll take over one of your springs.

Two countries might even go to war over a single fish.

In such circumstances, while the upper nobility would not easily engage in direct combat, they would also rarely cooperate genuinely.

On the contrary, once they seize an opportunity, they will call their guards to invade, thereby completely swallowing up the other country and turning it into a noble state without territory.

In this situation, the king originally thought that at most one or two duchies would be dissatisfied and then attack him.

Therefore, having some principalities as a buffer means that they don't have to be attacked from all sides.

However, they never expected that even though the shepherd had received the divine oracle and become a messenger of the gods, these people could unite so closely.

On the same day, at the same time, using the same set of excuses.

The king, whose head was full of white hair, sighed. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that his body had become much stiffer lately.

In the blur, it seems there are still quite a few people calling themselves K.

King K touched his head, only to find that his vigilance had decreased.

He was a brave man in his youth, but he was unwilling to spend his whole life as a nobody at the bottom of society, so he chose to travel. After arriving in this country, he happened to find a magic lamp.

With the help of the magic lamp, he killed the evil thief, defeated the king, and then inherited the throne.

At that time, he was riding high, but he didn't know when it started, he found that his various abilities were gradually disappearing.

The blessings bestowed upon me are waning day by day.

Even the magic lamp disappeared after three wishes were made.

Even his wife developed various ailments and soon passed away.

Fortunately, he later met his current wife.

Whether it was governing the country or comforting his heart, the Queen of Hearts made him feel that he had finally met the right person.

"Unfortunately, I underestimated the threat this poses," King K sighed.

However, he is not the kind of person who lets others bully him without fighting back.

Although he was old, he believed that his methods had not disappeared.

He was fully capable of uniting with the shepherds and then, in the name of God, using them to control them.

He was very clear about one thing: since those people had already taken action, he would have to back down and do as they said.

Therefore, those people will not give up their actions because of this.

Human desires are like that; taking an inch and then a mile is an instinct.

Especially for the nobility, everything they had stemmed from an act of pushing their luck.

Therefore, in some matters, once you back down, you are basically telling everyone that you are weak, that you can be bullied, and that you will not fight back when you are beaten.

Therefore, we cannot show any weakness at this time; instead, we must rise to the challenge.

Although it is difficult, if successful, his country will also benefit greatly.

The king was about to issue an order to welcome the wild beasts and shepherds.

But at that moment, my mind went blank with dizziness.

A thought popped into his mind: he had to obey the queen's orders; he had to submit to the queen's will.

King K instinctively sensed something was wrong. He touched his scimitar, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

Although she is old, and unwilling to believe that the person she has shared her bed with for so long would harm her.

But at this moment, he had no choice but to believe that the Queen of Hearts was suspicious!

With this thought in mind, King K was about to call for help.

However, he found that he couldn't hold on any longer.

It was only then that he realized he was really too old.

Over the years, he has indulged in pleasure and has long forgotten the martial arts skills he had when he was young.

With the protection of royal power and the ambiguity of morality, there was no need to worry too much about moral and legal judgment.

He was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, galloping about all these years and doing a lot of absurd things.

But morality could not judge him; his own heart was far removed from that of the brave young man he once was.

As a result, all the blessings bestowed upon him had long since vanished.

This final warning was his last words from his youth.

The last trace of resistance vanished, and the king gradually transformed into a playing card, becoming the King of Hearts.

The Queen of Hearts then stepped out from the side, a smile on her face.

Hold this King of Hearts in your hand.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, he summoned the king.

By this time, the king had become her complete puppet.

"The Red Heart Guards sent out earlier did not find those two guys."

"On the contrary, they managed to return successfully!"

“But it doesn’t matter, I’ve already taken control of the king beforehand.”

"No matter what, you must not interfere with me!" the Queen of Hearts said earnestly, her will driving her sorcery—the Heart of Hearts—with frenzied intensity.

It represents ambition and a desire for control, also known as the desire for control.

The Queen of Hearts is born with enormous desires, which drive her to control more things.

She also had a younger sister from a young age—Queen White Peach.

From a young age, the Queen of Hearts had to compete with the Queen of White Hearts, and in order to maintain her advantage, she often had to put in more effort.

This competition has continued to this day.

'Because I work so hard, I should be able to control more.'

Therefore, the Queen of Hearts views the desire for control as a manifestation of morality, believing that it is moral for the superior to control more things.

This viewpoint became a vague moral compass and also the core of her witchcraft.

This moral realm, to a certain extent, aligns with the witchcraft that operates in the name of God.

Charles I initially seized power because he believed that most commoners lacked the necessary abilities and that a capable leader was needed to lead them.

The essence of the desire for control is to acquire more power.

The ultimate limit of power is to become the final one.

He is so outstanding that he is omniscient and omnipotent, while everyone else below him becomes a puppet without any independent thought.

It was at this moment that the shepherd and the wild beasts arrived.

Chapter 604 Three Trials

“King, Queen, I have fulfilled the promise and obtained the approval of the goddess Nia.”

"Please prepare for my wedding with the princess. Once the wedding is complete, the princess's curse will surely be lifted."

"From now on, I will not covet power or status." The Beast looked at King K and Queen of Hearts who came to greet him and earnestly asked them to fulfill their previous agreement.

At that moment, the king looked at the beast with disgust.

“I did make an agreement with you, but you may not be able to fulfill the terms of that agreement,” the king then said.

"According to our agreement that day, you need to obtain the approval of the god Nia to prove that you have no bad intentions."

“However, it is the divine messenger who has gained recognition, not you. Therefore, you have not fulfilled the agreement.”

"That's right!" The surrounding guests immediately agreed in unison.

Most of the guests attending the ceremony were nobles, and naturally they harbored considerable malice towards shepherds and wild animals.

"Hmph." The shepherd glanced at the guests, snorted coldly, and then revealed his divinely bestowed arm.

“I am the goddess Nia who went to meet the goddess on behalf of both of us.”

“I swear that I told the goddess Nia about the beast’s fate, and the goddess Nia also gave her the corresponding approval.”

Faced with the shepherd's oath, King K's face darkened, but he also knew that this matter was no challenge for the beast.

Then the king's eyes lit up, and he said, "I did make a promise with you, but the promise included that you would bring back the most beautiful wedding dress and the most dazzling ring."

"Then I would like to ask, where are these two items?"

The Queen of Hearts, who was controlling the King, smiled secretly.

Her Hearts Guards, though they didn't catch up with the beasts, cut off their heads.

However, it also means that she accomplished some work.

For example, the 'noble lady' who offered to buy the double-eyed gems from the mayor in the city next to the capital was none other than the Queen of Hearts.

She was certain that the beast simply couldn't produce the most dazzling ring.

Meanwhile, although it is rumored that the other party obtained the Golden Fleece, the Golden Fleece has a major flaw: most people cannot even lift it.

Would you let a princess get married wearing an invisible wedding dress?

She wouldn't let her daughter be so humiliated!

“Of course I’ve prepared everything.” With that, the beast took out a box.

When the box was opened, there was nothing inside.

The Queen of Hearts was about to burst into laughter.

But then the beast gently reached its hand into it, and a dazzling yet exquisitely beautiful light emerged from it.

An exquisitely beautiful wedding dress thus appeared in the hands of the beast.

Everyone who saw this wedding dress was captivated by its beauty.

After seeing this wedding dress, no one can say for sure that it's not the most beautiful wedding dress.

Even the Queen of Hearts, who was determined to make things difficult for the beasts, was no exception.

Anyone with even a basic understanding of beauty would not utter such idealistic words.

"This is the wedding dress I sewed, it's me!!!" The fake tailor laughed wildly, proclaiming his achievement.

Then the beast pulled out another box.

Everyone's eyes began to look on with anticipation.

The wedding dress is so stunning, but what about the ring?

However, everyone was disappointed after opening the box.

The ring inside the box was dusty and gray, and the gemstone was missing a cracked lead core.

At this point, everyone burst into laughter.

"Even two random gems would be more beautiful than this broken heart."

"What ignorant lowlifes, actually mistaking this broken stone for a gemstone."

Various sarcastic remarks followed.

The beast remained unmoved by the sound.

Instead, he took out another ring that corresponded to it.

When the two rings came close together, they merged into a complete heart.

"Is this the most dazzling and beautiful ring you think it is?" King K asked at this moment, his eyes full of amusement, just as he was about to declare the agreement null and void.

But suddenly I realized that heart was radiating an unprecedented power.

Everyone felt warmth and joy in that instant.
