Clark knew that the King had been in a bad mood lately, and he also knew the reason. It was because folde had led troops to war.

As Isolde’s older brother, he had been keeping a low profile these days, treading carefully.

In front of the King, he even adjusted his breathing and carefully considered his words before speaking Now that the King was urgently summoning him, he knew that something bad had happened. Moreover, his father had also been summoned. Though his father was said to have returned to the countryside, Clark knew that he had actually gone with Isolde..

If the King became suspicious, he didn’t know what to say.

This was a crime of deceiving the King.

Right now, there was no time for him to discuss it with others. He could only rush into the palace.

The King had moved to the imperial study, which was already a mess. When Clark entered, he had to carefully avoid the scattered objects on the floor. The servants were kneeling all over the place. He had no idea that the King had already lost his temper once in his chambers, and this was the second outburst.

The King’s anger stemmed from war, and he absolutely could not say yes.

But half of his policy essay was about war.

“Speak!” the King snapped.

Clark’s lips trembled. “Your Majesty… I believe that in certain situations, if we don’t use military force nation’s dignity cannot be maintained.”

“What do you mean by certain situations?” the King asked coldly.
