The group of nobles standing behind the fake king slowly came to their senses after being stunned by the shocking revelation.
One by one, they instinctively stepped away, trying to put distance between themselves and the fake king.
Some of the more timid ones even cried out in fear.
"Help! Where are the royal knights?! Where are the patrolling royal knights?! Why is no one coming?! Hurry up and arrest the fake king!"
The fake king was so enraged that he almost fainted on the spot.
He never expected that after putting so much effort into handling matters for these nobles—dividing benefits and managing power—not a single one would support him now that things had been exposed. And wasn't it still unclear which one was the real king?
"Shut up!" the fake king roared at the group of nobles behind him.
In an instant, the place fell dead silent. Not even a sound.
