Chapter 699 - The Gustav Family's Crime
The moment the entire video ended, the cameras quickly focused back on the royals and the Gustavs again.
But this time, everyone's eyes mostly fell on the shameless people standing beside the royals.
The Gustavs began sweating due to fear, as they looked at the murderous eyes coming from the crewmen around them.
And before they could even think twice, several guards entered the room, adding to the already tight security that was there earlier on.
This alone made them tremble weakly, as they knew very well that the sun of receiving a monarch was an indirect slap to the entire empire.
Worse of all, they had also intended to manipulate and play with the feelings of the kind-hearted and simple-minded people of Baymard.
The moment the Gustavs saw more guards come in, they decided to still take advantage of Baymard's kindness and beg with all their might.
They didn't want to be executed, and neither did they want to be licked up forever.
What a joke!
If they all ended up here, then wouldn't their properties, knights and wealth all fall into the hands of others?
In fact, they didn't care about Baymard anymore.
All they wanted was to leave Baymard forever!
They had already planned to use the fact that Lucy once lived with them to plead for their freedom.
At least she should consider the father-daughter relationship right?
Right now, even though they knew that they were thoroughly disgraced, escaping and avoiding execution or imprisonment was the best option.
At least back in Arcadina, they still had their statues and power in their hands.
Plus even though they were weak, they still planned to use another person's hands to get their revenge.
And who did they have in mind?
Of course it was Alec!!
.
Revenge!
Once they told Alec about the situation here and told a few lies on how Landon was planning to target Alec... They were sure that the big man would make his move.
With how obsessed Alec was with Baymard, wouldn't that be enough stimulation for him?
Heh.... and by then, the Gustavs would watch Alec tear these motherf***ers to pieces.
But how would they have known that their avenger was already taken care of?
Please!
Arcadina's new ruler was now William Barn, son to Oden Barn... and not Alec.
Of course, the clueless Gustavs wallowed in their self made revenge plans while not forgetting to strategically plead for their lives.
Since they were stars of the show, then why shouldn't they continue their acts even now?
As for the royals, they all faced the Gustavs without a hint of expressions on their faces.
"Kneel!" Landon said coldly.
And unconsciously, the trembling Gustavs fell to the ground in one swoop.
"Your majesty, your majesty... it was the Devil that made us do this.
We...we are sorry!"
"Sister Lucy, please forgive us, we've really learned our lesson this time.
If you let us go, we'll leave and never return!"
"That's right sister!
You are so kind and forgiving, so you'll definitely let us go.
Thank you little sister Lucy, thank you!"

The audience almost coughed out blood when they saw this shameless family grovelling on Lucy's feet as if they wanted to kiss her legs.
And why were they thanking her when she hadn't even said anything?
This family was just too much!!
"Silence!" Landon commanded, before pulling Lucy away from them.
"The Noble Gustav family of Arcadina.
You all have truly opened this king's eyes!
Not only did your family kill my princess's mother... but you also had the guts to bully her day in and day out.
Even though she was your blood, you still treated her far worse than slaves.
She never had enough to eat and would go hungry for days while working tirelessly to please you all.
You whipped her, punched her, stabbed her and slapped her mercilessly.
And after her mother died, you threw her pit on the streets and turned her into a beggar.
But after obtaining your goal, you still didn't stop there.
You still found your friends and things to beat my princess whenever you felt like it.
Luckily, my mother picked her up and brought her into the palace soon later.
But as her family, you never bothered to visit her in the palace all those years.
Rather, you always denied having any link to her at all.
Additionally, when we were exiled, you still didn't show up to comfort or see princess Lucy.
You all thought that she would die of starvation or turn into a beggar.
Unfortunately, fate had played a cruel joke on you, and now she is not only fine... But she is now Baymard's future queen.
And being the greedy scoundrels that you are, how could any of you miss this opportunity?
You came here in hopes of becoming royals and raising your status too.
If you tried this out within another empire, you might've had more chances of getting away with it.
But sadly, you just had to do what you did in Baymard.
That said, do you know the punishment for deceiving a monarch?!!"
(YY○YY)
.
The more Landon spoke, the more his aura became cold and threatening.
It was so scary that even the crewmen couldn't help but tremble.
Could anyone tell them what was going on?
Was there some sort of supernatural occurrence happening around that could make the room feel cold and frightening?
Of course, if Landon could give out these sort of auras to the Warden and several hands in different armed forces... then he as the Boss would definitely have an even more frightening aura no?
It was as if the aura was almost transmitted through the TV screens because even those viewing felt like maybe there were some special effects added to the mix.
Their king was indeed quite scary when he was mad.
They knew this from the last time they watched their king execute those spies.
On that day, his aura was so cold that even the Baymardians shivered and looked at the spies somewhat pitifully.
Their king might be kind, but he was extremely ruthless to his enemies.
And they never forgot that.
Their king was truly one of a kind.
