Thickskinned

King Krisen finally realized how this impulsive man became the emperor. He actually turned around the entire situation in his favor despite how impossible the odds looked for him before.

Of course, it was not like he was really out of the danger zone, but he was surely moving in the direction he wanted. He could also see how the expressions of the noble families who lost their sons seemed to have their expressions relax a bit.

But King Krisen wasn't surprised since 1% of the empire's annual resources was more than a treasure trove. Any noble family would kill to get at least a small part of it since with just that, they could nurture and better provide their descendants with the most potential to quickly rise up in cultivation and also get the best training.

So the families who lost their potential successors today could use these resources to quickly nurture another one and make up for what they lost.
