Chapter 1188

Unable to believe his ears, Mikhail's eyes widened in shock.

Ever since he ascended the throne, Mikhail had summoned Geert many times but never saw this side of him

before.

“Why are you doing this?” The shaken Mikhail added, “I've never mistreated you before.”

King couldn't help but burst into laughter.

“Yes, it's true that you have never mistreated that coward, Geert.” Even though he possessed Geert's features,

King's eyes brimmed with hostility when his character was in possession of the body. As if he was recollecting the

past, he began to speak in a bitter tone. “I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers the sins you committed before

ascending the throne?”

Ever since ancient times, blood would inevitably be spilled every time there was a change in power or dynasties.

Mikhail's path to the throne was naturally no exception.

Nevertheless, everything was done behind the scenes to maintain his virtuous appearance. Even though Mikhail

admitted to having his hands covered in blood after sacrificing many lives for his goals, he couldn't recall any

conflict he shared with the man standing before him.

“Since when do you have a reason to seek revenge upon me?” Mikhail's gravitas didn't diminish despite the

circumstances. “The Leitz family has always basked in glory with the support of the Scholl family during both the

previous king's reign and mine. There's no need for you to use such a ludicrous excuse to mask your own

ambition!”

Staring at the man before him, King laughed insidiously when he recalled the woman he had lost.

“I wonder if you remember the name Jennie Shamrock?” King spoke in an intimidating tone. “How could you have

treated her that way? After she saved your life time and again, have you fulfilled your promise to her? Other than

hurting her and forcing her to her death, what else have you done?”

The moment King mentioned the name, an excruciating pain gripped Mikhail's heart.

The name was declared taboo in Luna Palace, for he never wanted to hear of it again.

He had never loved another woman more in his entire life, but she was out of his reach upon his ascendance to the

throne. If her life hadn't been taken by the power struggles he was involved in, she would have been free to

continue healing the sick.

“Jen... Jen...” Mikhail kept repeating the name. Every time he called it out, he could feel his heart being ripped

apart.

“Mikhail, how dare you utter her name!” King roared. “In spite of how she treated you, what did you do to her? If I

was the one who took your place as king of Loang, she might have chosen me instead of you. Moreover, I would

have taken better care of her for the rest of her life!”

King was well aware that he was a split personality of the coward Geert.

He had no name for himself, and even Jennie saw him as Geert.

It wasn't until he saw with his own eyes how Mikhail betrayed and abandoned Jennie despite her choosing him that

he named himself “King.”

Initially, he assumed that his role as a split personality was to protect the cowardly Geert. However, he realized how

wrong he was when Geert's personality held him back from his desire to protect Jennie. From then on, he began to

form his own agenda.

He wanted to become stronger so that he could become the king of Loang.

Only then was he capable of exacting revenge on those who harmed Jennie, and Mikhail was one of them.

Without Mikhail, he would have become the king of Loang. Jennie would then have chosen him instead of the

former.

“Even though the most wonderful person in the world was yours, you ended up hurting her because of your desire

for the throne.” King's laughter grew increasingly maniacal. “And now, I want you to abdicate and declare to the

world that you have handed the throne over to me. Only then will I consider sparing the lives of your wives and

children.”
