Chapter 725 The Defenseless King



Chapter 725 The Defenseless King

Their priority now was to clean Balthazar's residence, both inside and out. Lyndon, who was heavily

injured, watched as Jerry and his sons came out of the chamber smugly. He knew that disaster was

about to befall Balthazar.

"What did you do to His Majesty?" Lyndon asked anxiously.

"We didn't injure him. We just fed him a pill so that he would sleep well," Jerry said smugly.

"Jerry Andrews, you bastard! How dare you commit such a heinous act of treason? You'll suffer the

worst death possible!" Lyndon cursed.

At this moment, a round pill flew into Lyndon's mouth. He asked furiously, "What… What the hell is

this?"

Jethro said, "Don't worry, Mr. Gorp. The pill I fed you is just a sleep-inducing pill. You've been

exhausted recently, and I worry that your body can't handle it. Have some rest now that you can!"

After a short while, Lyndon felt a wave of dizziness overcome him. Soon, he felt the world in front of

him begin to blur. One minute later, Lyndon collapsed to the floor, eyes shut tight and body completely

still.

"When he wakes up, he, like the King, will be for us to manipulate as we please, Mr. Andrews," Jethro

said.

"Great. Clean the residence quickly so that nobody notices that something's out of the ordinary," Jerry

said.

"Yes, Mr. Andrews!" the men from Skyarch Palace answered. Next, they took action and moved all the

dead bodies away.

Only when it was almost daybreak was the residence reverted to normal. The floors appeared to be

clean. The blood staining the floors had been washed. The men from Skyarch Palace put on the outfits

of Balthazar's guards to impersonate them.

Only at the break of dawn did Balthazar regain his consciousness. He asked, somewhat confused,

"Where am I?"

Jerry, his sons, and the members of Skyarch Palace were all waiting for Balthazar to regain

consciousness. Jerry said, "This is your residence, Your Majesty. This is the hidden chamber in your

room."

"The hidden chamber? What did I come here for?" Balthazar was confused. He could not recall

anything that happened before.

"Assassins invaded your house last night, Your Majesty. I led my men here to serve as reinforcements.

To be cautious, we took you to this hidden chamber," Jerry said.

"What? That happened?" Balthazar was shocked.

Jerry answered, "That's right. Didn't we send out our men to assassinate the higher-ups in our enemy

countries? They're retaliating now."

"Oh, I see. Why do I not remember anything?" Balthazar touched his forehead as he tried to retrieve

his memories with a frown.

No matter how hard he tried, his efforts were pointless.

"The situation was really dire last night, Your Majesty. It was a good thing Mr. Andrews arrived on time,

or we would've been doomed!" the men masquerading as guards said.

Balthazar was no different from a puppet now, so he would naturally believe what the men beside him

told him. He said, "It seems that you and your sons are to thank for last night. Without you, I would’ve

been in danger!"

"This is what I should do, Your Majesty." Jerry nodded at Balthazar.

Balthazar then replied, "Don’t worry, I’ll surely reward your family handsomely!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jerry and his sons quickly thanked Balthazar.

Next, Jerry said, "Your Majesty, Lord Caspian has entered the central region of Filren, but he's been at

a standstill with the enemy for a long time. If this goes on, this will put our troops in a very bad

position!"

"How do you propose we deal with this, Jerry?" Balthazar could no longer form views of his own.

"In my opinion, you must issue an order for Lord Caspian to return to Dhord City immediately. Only with

this can we decrease the number of casualties on our side."

Balthazar was stunned. He no longer knew how to make a decision. Jethro, who was standing in a dark

corner, was constantly muttering something under his breath all the while. It seemed like a spell of

some kind.

Balthazar said immediately, "No problem. I'll issue an order to Lord Caspian for him to return to Dhord

City right away!"

Jerry and his sons were overjoyed to see that. Jethro was really skilled in witchcraft!

"You should issue that order now, Your Majesty. Delay it for one minute and our soldiers may die," Jerry

advised.

"I'll pen a Royal Summons immediately and fax it to Caspian so that he can return immediately after

reading it," Balthazar said. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Right after he said that, Jerry had someone bring over paper and a pen. The puppet-like Balthazar then

wrote a Royal Summons.

"Send this letter to Caspian immediately!" Balthazar said.

"Certainly, Your Majesty!" Jerry said excitedly when he took the letter. He then handed the letter to a

guard standing beside him and told the guard to deliver it to the army headquarters. They had to notify

Lord Caspian as soon as possible.

The guard, who was actually a martial artist from Skyarch Palace in disguise, said, "Yes, Mr. Andrews!"

"By the way, shouldn't Lyndon be with me at all times? Where is he now?" Balthazar suddenly

remembered Lyndon. Why did he not see Lyndon here?

"Mr. Gorp was injured in a battle against the assassins last night. He's waiting outside," Jerry said.

"Let's go out for a look," Balthazar said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The group, helmed by Jerry, walked out together with Balthazar. Soon after,

Balthazar noticed that Lyndon was crouching beside the wall, soundly asleep.

"Why is Lyndon sleeping here?" Balthazar asked with a frown.

"We wanted him to go back for some rest, but he insisted on protecting you and refused to leave, so he

dozed off here," Jerry quickly explained.

"He really is devoted to me. Quick, carry him inside and let him have some proper rest. He must be

exhausted," Balthazar said.

Right at this moment, Lyndon opened his eyes. He had forgotten about whatever that had happened

before. Jethro quickly muttered something under his breath. He already had full control over Lyndon at

this point.

"Greetings, Your Majesty," Lyndon said, rising somewhat stiltedly. His injuries had healed partially after

a few hours' rest.

"You don't need to bow, Lyndon, seeing as you're still injured. You fought the enemy in a deadly battle

yesterday, so you should have some rest."

He then ordered the men near him, "Have the best doctors look over Lyndon's injuries right away."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Several "guards" went over to steady Lyndon immediately. Lyndon did not find

anything weird with that as he was now no different from a puppet.

After Lyndon left, Balthazar said to Jerry, "Meet the other higher-ups with me. I have something

important to announce."

"What important matter is there, Your Majesty? Have you gotten it wrong? After encountering such

grave danger yesterday, you should rest well in the next couple of days," Jerry said.

Balthazar felt tired from head to toe, and his head was not clear either. He said, "Sure, I'll get some rest

before that."

He returned to his room, and Jerry had some men stand guard outside.

The sky had just started to lighten. A meeting with the higher-ups was supposed to be held today.
