Chapter 1706 His Majesty Gremayne... Ran Away

Seeing the expression on His Majesty Lekas' face, Chu Nan immediately put away his complaints and his expression became serious.

He looked around. Now, the two of them were in a temporary palace specially prepared by the federation government for the visit of His Majesty Lekas. This palace was guarded by the royal personal guards brought by His Majesty Lekas. It was impossible for others to easily enter, and it was impossible for them to leave any monitoring measures that could ensure that their conversation should be secret and safe.

However, His Majesty Lekas was still so careful and did not even use the Milky Way Network to communicate with Chu Nan remotely. Clearly, he was worried that the communication on the Milky Way Network would be eavesdropped by others, especially by the Noctem Chamber of Commerce. It could be seen how serious this matter was.

With a thought, Chu Nan set up an energy shield and blocked the energy shield that covered all signals outside this room.

"About that… Your Majesty, I'm certain that my energy shield can block all abnormal energy fluctuations. It's impossible for anyone to eavesdrop on our conversation without me sensing it." Chu Nan said seriously, "You… can say it now."

His Majesty Lekas was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he looked around and released his perception to experience the energy shield released by Chu Nan. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

"Chu Nan, how many years has it been since you participated in the Garden Hunting Assembly?"

Chu Nan was stunned. He thought for a moment and replied, "More than six years."

This war lasted for more than three years. Before the war, after the Garden Hunting Assembly ended, Chu Nan had still stayed in the Endless Abyss to cooperate with the teleportation door research for more than a year. After the war ended, the negotiations between the three great factions took nearly a year. Coupled with the scattered time, it had indeed been more than six years since Chu Nan first headed to the Declan Empire to participate in the Garden Hunting Assembly.

Previously, Chu Nan did not have any thoughts about this. Now that he was asked by His Majesty Lekas, he immediately felt that time had passed quickly.

It was as if more than six years had passed in the blink of an eye. He had already turned from a young man close to 20 years old to an adult who was about to turn 27.

"It's only been more than six years…" His Majesty Lekas sighed softly, "When you first participated in the Garden Hunting Assembly, you had only broken through to the Heaven Control Realm not long ago. Now that more than six years have passed, you've already become a powerful Star-Grade Martial Artist. Your strength is probably not much weaker than mine now. In the past, I only felt that you were very talented, but now, it seems that your talent is simply abnormal and completely exceeds my imagination."

"Your Majesty, you're too kind." Chu Nan smiled and did not say anything. He only continued to look at His Majesty Lekas and wait for him to say something.

He had specially come to the Earth Federation to meet him in person. Clearly, he did not come to sigh.

"What do you think of the internal strife that happened in the previous empire?"

"Ah?" Chu Nan was stunned.

What kind of problem was this? What did the internal strife in the Declan Empire have to do with him? His Majesty Lekas had come to ask him what he thought. Was he sure he was not bored?

Of course, His Majesty Lekas would not have nothing better to do. Chu Nan frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"I'm asking the reason for the civil war. What do you think? Do you think I killed Gremayne and successfully usurped the throne like many people?"

Chu Nan could not help but grin and feel a toothache.

Although the internal strife of the Declan Empire had ended for more than two years, the situation in the empire was stable now, and His Majesty Lekas's throne was stable, there were still many voices questioning him on the Milky Way Network.

The main argument was that he felt that he had come in an illegitimate position because His Majesty Gremayne's disappearance was too strange.

As a top Star-Grade Martial Artist, His Majesty Gremayne should not have disappeared silently like this. There was no definite news until now.

Unless it was as many people had guessed, he had been secretly killed by Prince Lekas and the people of the Elder Council before completely sealing the news.

"I don't think so." Chu Nan immediately shook his head and rejected it, "I don't think you'll kill His Majesty Gremayne."

"Oh? Why? Why do you believe that I didn't kill him in order to usurp the throne?" Prince Lekas asked Chu Nan with interest.

"Because there's no need," Chu Nan replied seriously, "His Majesty Gremayne personally told me that compared to him, you're more suitable to be the emperor of the Declan Empire because your political talent far exceeds his. Moreover, compared to being the emperor, he prefers to pursue personal strength and growth. He only sat on the throne because of the rules of the Declan royal family that have been passed down for more than ten thousand years."

"I didn't expect my brother to even say this to you." His Majesty Lekas smiled and shook his head, "Indeed, this is his true thought, but this will make people think that I'm unconvinced by him, so I killed him to usurp the throne. Why do you think I don't have to do this?"

"There's no need." Chu Nan shrugged and replied with a relaxed expression, "Although I don't know how your Declan Empire works, I can tell that you shouldn't want to be this emperor very much. Otherwise, you wouldn't have waited until this moment to suddenly usurp the throne. With His Majesty Gremayne's mentality, you have a lot of opportunities, right? To be honest, I even suspect that… His Majesty Gremayne is tired of being an emperor and suddenly threw this throne to you before running away?"

Of course, Chu Nan was only casually talking nonsense. However, when he said this, he discovered that His Majesty Lekas's expression had suddenly changed and he was immediately shocked.

"About that… Your Majesty, could it be… could it be that I was right?"

His Majesty Lekas stared at Chu Nan in a daze and looked at him for a long time before shaking his head with a bitter smile.

"Alright, I can confirm that you're only guessing, but do you know? Your guess is already very close to the truth."

"No way!" Chu Nan immediately widened his eyes in shock, "His Majesty Gremayne… he really ran away?"

"It can't be said that he ran away himself, but it's actually similar." His Majesty Lekas still smiled bitterly, "Gremayne… actually chose to give up the throne for an even more important mission."

Chu Nan thought for a moment and frowned.

"That's not right. If that's the case, why doesn't he come out and publicly make a statement and give you the throne before leaving? This way, your Declan Empire won't fall into internal strife."

"It's very simple, because it's too late." His Majesty Lekas shook his head. "When he discovered that he had to move, there was no time for him to deal with the miscellaneous matters of the empire."
