Winner Takes All

"His Majesty has arrived!"

Someone shouted from outside.

Cynthia smiled sweetly as she fluttered away from Jack's hug, leaving Jack feeling empty in his arms without her.

At the same time that he felt empty, another blurry face flashed over his thoughts.

It was the same image he saw when he first entered the secret room of the Seventy Two Constellations of the Wolf, while he was in agony.

The reappearance of this image aggravated his feelings of loneliness and emptiness, and he even experienced grief as a result.

Jack was growing perplexed as he recognized two distinct emotions, even though they may have felt identical.

"Who... was... that?" Jack thought.

The door was opened at this time and the Hun King strode into the room, looking delighted. There were a few slaves who followed him behind.

The Hun King's eyes sparkled seeing Jack who was sunken into deep thought.

"Father!" Cynthia immediately pulled and signaled Jack to greet the Hun King.

"Excellent! Excellent!" He looked at Jack once more before turning to Cynthia, "Medea, I am very proud of your choice," he said delightedly. "Father..." Cynthia grasped the significance of the King's remarks, "What are you talking about, Father?" she said, embarrassed. The first phrase was slightly irrelative, but the second was a reminder.

The man in front of her was not only the man of her dreams, but he also played an important part in the Coalition's attempts to march south.

She did everything she could to replace his old memories with new ones and to keep him from regaining his memories so that she could control him.

The Hun King's outrage earlier raised questions about the memories she created; if something similar happened again, Jack would be even more suspicious.

He had lost his memory, but not his wits!

The Hun King then grimaced and reached for Jack's shoulder, saying, "Greedy Wolf, you didn't let Cynthia and me down. You have made history for the Huns, and every Hun will witness you getting the highest honor today; be prepared."

The Hun King exclaimed with delight.

Even the Hun King couldn't keep his enthusiasm at bay when he delivered the speech.

A commemorative statue, The Hun's First Warrior and General to March South!

Three triumphs! Either of these would have been enough to make the Huns proud.

Today was the first time in Hun history that all of these honors were bestowed upon a single person.

Although it was the eighth statue, none of its predecessors had three titles.

"Thank you very much, Your..." The Hun King's countenance changed, interrupting Jack's thanks. Cynthia instantly squeezed Jack's waist and said, "Your Majesty?"

"Thank you, Father." Jack swiftly amended himself as he grimaced in discomfort.

"Haha"

The King smiled joyfully.

Then he said, "First, follow me to the Royal Palace Hall and greet the officials, and then you will ride the Snow Lion to Royal Palace Plaza and look at your monument, letting all the Huns know that The Hun City belongs to you, Greedy Wolf. After that, I'll have a squad of troops accompanies you while you stroll throughout the city. Show the people our great, amazing general!"

Jack stopped for a moment before saying, "Father... You want me to ride the Snow Lion in the public?"

"The Snow Lion views you as the beast king's ruler now, so riding it won't be an issue for you," the Hun King stated.

"I'm not talking about that," Jack said, shaking his head. "During my rehabilitation, I went to see the Snow Lion, it is rather friendly. I'm not concern about it attacking me, but rather the public."

"It won't, with your present."

The Hun King grinned as he led Jack and Cynthia out, saying, "Let's introduce my son-in-law to the officials, show them what a fantastic fit you and Medea are!"

"Father..." Cynthia blushed and lowered her head.

Jack, too, flushed slightly. After a few steps, he called Amanda.

Amanda, who had been upset because she had been neglected, brightened up and dashed up to Jack.

The Hun King gave Amanda a sidelong glance but kept silent.

In the Royal Palace Hall.

All of the officials remained still, awaiting their arrival. Wolfgang, who had just recently awoken, was also waiting in a wheelchair.

The officials were all excited to see Jack, but Wolfgang appeared irritated.

He couldn't believe that battling Jack would cost him his title as The Hun's First Warrior!

Before this, he was always at the very front of the Royal Palace Hall.

But, having lost his status as the , as well as his authori

andon, he could only stand

in the center with the other officials.

This alteration angered him. Furthermore, he had no clue what had happened while he was asleep.

"If I had known, I would not have fought that jerk..."NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Wolfgang was enraged just thinking about it, his fists gripping the wheelchair tightly.

By one battle, his glory days were over. Everything was gone when he awoke.

No one could ever accept such a drastic shift!

"His Majesty has arrived!"

Someone shouted outside the hall.

"Your Majesty!"

All of the officials knelt to meet the Hun King.

Wolfgang, who was in a wheelchair, became the focus of everyone's attention.

He had never knelt before, and he frowned as he glanced out the hall.

He shook in fury as he saw the Hun King grasping Cynthia and Jack on both sides as he entered the hall.

His gaze had remained fixed on Jack, the Hun King, and Cynthia.

It was exactly what he had hoped for, but it had happened to someone else.

He was filled with resentment, wrath, and grudges... All of these emotions were bubbling up inside him.

His grasp intensified, and the wheelchair handle snapped.

It sounded like an explosion within the hall and drew everyone's

attention, including the Hun Kinet

Jack and Cynthia. They stopped and looked at Wolfgang. S

"Wolfgang!"

When the Hun King called Wolfgang's name, his pulse raced!

The Hun King began without waiting. for Wolfgang, "I know you blamed it on losing your first warrior title; my abrupt change of attitude toward you and Greedy Wolf; and how you failed to achieve what you wanted despite your hard work!" S

The Hun King uttered the first two reasons publicly because, as the King, he could.

But his tone softened when he stated the third reason, which had something to do with Cynthia!

"Your Majesty..." Wolfgang looked at the Hun King sullenly.

"But don't worry, I'm not enraged with you!"

The Hun King grinned brightly and stated loudly, "I'll tell you why right away!

"What?" Wolfgang was left perplexed.

The next second.

"Roar!" Outside the hall, a tremendous noise could be heard.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
