The Gale Emperor's Move
The Gale Emperor's eyes were uncontrollably twitching when he saw the Krisen King downplaying his authority with the pretense of being concerned about his reputation.
But in essence, this audacious king was trying to challenge his authority indirectly.
And seeing some of the powerful noble families supporting the Krisen King's words only made him regret not crushing the Krisen Kingdom long back before even Yuria was born.
However, even if the Krisen Kingdom was becoming powerful over the years, most of the powerful noble families standing behind the Krisen King weren't really allies until what happened today.
The Gale Emperor also knew this since he basically confessed to using the Krisen Kingdom, which was known to be prosperous and loyal to the imperial family.
And since he confessed, it only made him seem like an ungrateful wretch of an emperor who wouldn't hesitate to turn on his own loyal allies.
