The Golden Throne

Chapter 200: Sneak attack

Chapter 200: Sneak attack

Liu Feng could feel the plushness of the mattress almost instantly.

“Ah, the sweet, sweet mattress. Truly, this is a life of luxury that they lead compared to the commoners. Well, I am not the one to talk.”, Liu Feng commented.

He lied on the bed and closed his eyes. Slowly he drifted off to sleep.

Outside the tent, the same student who took Liu Feng to to his own tent was standing with a few others.

“He is here. I am pretty sure that he is sleeping right now. So then, are we sure that we should go with this?”, the student asked.

“Imagine. He is the only son that the king has. Once he is dead, the nearest Duke’s soon will have to become the next king. Just imagine. I will become a king in the future. Isn’t that exciting?”, another student who was standing in front of the tent said as he rubbed his hands.

“I just think that we are taking it a tad too far with this. I mean, killing a person? We have never done that before. Every single time it was then taking their own lives. And this is the Prince that we are talking about. What if we get caught? We will be beheaded.”, the former said.

“You are just a coward. Imagine. After the prince dies, the problem the king will face is not about who killed the prince, but rather, who will be the one to succeed him. And that will obviously be chosen based on how much the dukes’ sons will contribute to the war. If the three of you will help me, then I will become king. After I become king, imagine how much you can enjoy. You will be the most comfortable people in the kingdom.”, the student said.

“Are you sure, Lucius? This is a very risky proposition that you are giving. You are already going to be dukes in the future. We will have a lot of luxury as dukes. Do you really need to become king? What will that be, other than just a whole lot more work? And we are putting our lives on the line for this.”, another student pitched in.

“If you are so discouraging, then you shouldn’t have come here. We are doing it, and that is that. I will not be backing down from this god given opportunity to become the most powerful person in the world.”, the student who was clearly named Lucius, laughed. 

“You are on your own for this one. The two students other than Lucius and the one who gave Liu Feng his tent, left the room. Clearly, they wanted nothing to do with this after weighing the pros and the cons.

“Once I am king, then they will feel my wrath. Everyone will think twice before even thinking of betraying me like this.”, Lucius said with a maniacal face, and a desperate voice. He then looked at the tent in which Liu Feng was dozing in.

“Go and check if he is sleeping.”, he told the student next to him.

The student nodded. He went in, and tilted the drapes to see what was going on inside. He saw Liu Feng inside, and Liu Feng was lying on the ground, sleeping defenseless. The student closed the drapes and stepped back to Lucius. 

“He is sleeping. So, once you become a king, don’t forget about me.”, the student laughed.

“Oh yeah. Don’t worry. That girl Syliva- what’s her name?”

“Sylvette”

“Yeah, that girl is yours. She will not be able to say no.”, Lucius laughed as he went into the room. 

Lucius raised his hand and started chanting. Mana started pouring in from around him, and Lucius directed all that mana towards Liu Feng. It started burning up, and a fireball was being created. He then chucked it towards Liu Feng. 

Almost immediately, Liu Feng opened his eyes. He looked towards the fireball that was coming towards him. He could see a smiling man behind the fireball.

Blast!

The tent that Liu Feng was in, went up in flames. 

“Now, I am going to become king!.”, Lucius laughed. 

“And why the hell do you think that?”, Liu Feng’s cold voice came from behind Lucius.

Lucius turned back with shock. “Ho-ho-how are you there? Why are you not dead? I clearly saw the fireball hit you. I even used a magical artifact to increase the output.”, Lucius stuttered.

“If even someone like you could kill me, then how would I be expected to deal with the demons?”, Liu Feng said coldly as he held Lucius’ neck. He then looked at the student next to Liu Feng.

“Do you think that I would ever leave my back open and vulnerable to a goddamn molestor like you who wanted me to sleep with someone? Are you joking?”, he told the student.

The student felt his knees go weak. He fell to the ground, and his face was covered with fear. “I am dead. I am dead.”, he muttered.

“The both of you are dead. That is for sure.”, Liu Feng smiled.

“Don’t kill me. I am sorry for having that thought. But you are alive, aren’t you? I will promise to give you a lot of power. I am a duke’s son. My father can give you a lot of power. Please don’t kill me.”, Lucius started begging for his life.

“And here, I thought that the begging for your life thing happened when I was holding a sword up to your hands. Well, you doing this just made me realize that there are a lot of people that I am going to have to take care of, as the future king, and as the major beneficiary of the war.”, Liu Feng said.

“But don’t worry. You are not going to die now. I will take you to the center, where everyone in the army can see you, and show them that even a noble cannot escape an offense like attempted murder.”, Liu Feng said coldly.
