Chapter 117: An Unexpected Guest?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was over. He was completely done for. His reputation as a great general has been completely wiped out.

How could he not understand the temperament of his majesty?

He did not even have to wait long. At most, when the next day arrived, this picture of him lying on the ground snoring would probably spread to all the nobles and officials above the count in the imperial court.

‘It’s over for me!’

Thinking of this, Zorn immediately grabbed both sides of the scroll with both hands, as if he wanted to tear up the painting.

However, Kyle took this chance to say something else.

“There is a king’s seal on this painting. If you dare to tear it up, it will be a crime of disrespect, and I will not forgive you.”

Zorn stared at it. There was indeed a large seal on the signed piece.

At this moment, death did not seem like a bad idea. The idea of destroying the physical evidence fell through. This was something that the king had signed. If he tore it up, it would really be a crime of disrespect.

Zorn’s face was forcefully filled with an awkward smile. He laughed and said to Kyle.

“Your Majesty, we don’t want this painting, right?

“I don’t know which ugly person is painted on it. It’s really difficult to tell with this style. I’m afraid that it will tarnish your eyes, so I wish to tear it up for your sake.”

Kyle nodded as if he was serious.

“What you said makes sense, so I’ve decided to give this painting to you now.

“When you take it back later, hang it in a conspicuous place in your house. Don’t you dare think about destroying this painting.

“If Rosen and the others come to report to me one day saying you didn’t do as I instructed then I’ll punish you severely for it .”

When Zorn heard the first half of the sentence, he was still in a good mood. When he finished listening, he instantly broke down.

Could he still live as he did?

Not only did he have to hang it at home, but he also had to hang it in a conspicuous place. If anyone came to his house as a guest, the first thing they would see would be this thing.

Zorn put on a pitiful look and then begged Kyle.

“Your Majesty, please let me send it back. Must I really hang it at a conspicuous place?

“I really can’t afford to embarrass myself!”

Kyle immediately made a disdainful sound.

“You know what you did to embarrass yourself?

“I thought you were a good drinker, but in the end, you were forced to lie on the ground and refused to get up.

“Don’t say that you’re embarrassed now, even I felt embarrassed for you back then. To think that you’re a guest that I brought with me… Lorne almost laughed out loud on the spot.”

Zorn immediately put his hand on his forehead. He had nothing to say that could protect his status anymore.

No one provoked him to brag that loudly before he went. He himself kept saying that he would never get drunk.

In the end, when he competed with the other party for drinks, the other party drew a painting for him while he lay sprawled on the ground like a fool.

D*mn, it seemed that he could not disobey this order. If that was the case, then no one would be able to come to Zorn’s residence as a guest in the future!

Zorn silently rolled up the scroll with tears in his eyes and held it under his hand. He looked as if he was ready to face death.

This amused Kyle. Even the well-known Demon King had been subdued. In the end, Lorne won.

They did not even need to fight head-on. Instead, Lorne used a move to play on the enemy’s weakness. He kept pouring wine from the side as he provoked Zorn to make him drunk.

Amazing!

Thinking that he could be happy about this for a while, Kyle comfortably lifted his feet and waved his hand at Zorn.

“Alright, you’re free to go. You’ve accepted the painting. You can go back to where you belong. I won’t keep you here for dinner.”

Zorn stood up with a dejected look on his face. Then, he bowed to Kyle and left the room with a scroll in his hand, feeling a little wronged.

After he left Kyle’s study, he took a few steps away from the guards and servants. Zorn immediately straightened his chest and muttered to himself with hatred.

“Good job, Lorne. Not only did you pour me a lot of wine, you even drew such a painting to ridicule me.

“I, Zorn, have always been the only one who schemed against others. I didn’t expect to be pecked in the eye by a wild goose today.

“Just you wait. Next time, I’ll definitely go to your tavern to rightfully avenge myself!”

This time, Zorn was bested. His first round of confrontation with Lorne ended in his complete defeat. It could be considered a huge setback in his ego.

He could only wait for the next time to get back at Lorne. After all, this matter had really embarrassed him.

The last time he drank with Rosen, the two of them were completely drunk. At the very least, they were drunk together. Everyone was lying on the ground, so it was not as embarrassing.

This time, Lorne was awake, and Zorn was busy snoring on the ground. This wa too humiliating for him.

No matter how big Zorn’s heart was or how thick his skin was, he could not bear to play like this.

Thus, he made up his mind. After setting a standard for himself, the Demon King held the painting in his hand and swaggered out of the palace.

On the other hand, Lorne was completely unaware of what had happened. Lorne did not take to heart the fact that he had drawn a painting with the intention of making the King of Lolan to sign it.

In any case, it was just a joke of his and was purely for entertainment.

Of course, Lorne would not give in if Zorn came looking for trouble next time.

Another two or three days passed, and the entire Lolan Empire was operating according to the usual order.

Kyle also began to get busy, but it was not a major matter. Instead, a group of foreign envoys arrived.

Regarding this matter, Kyle thought that he already had some experience in handling it. After all, Lorne had taught him more than once how to deal with the relationship between countries.

Therefore, Kyle did not ask Lorne about this matter. Instead, he dealt with it with his own hands.

However, the King of Lolan did not expect that these envoys from a small foreign country would accidentally come into contact with Lorne’s tiny tavern.

That day, Lorne slept in. In the morning, he did not open the door of the tavern. Instead, he only opened it at late noon. Then, he began to work on other things while sitting in the tavern.

He thought that as usual, there would never be any customers. At night, he could close the door and could comfortably do something else.

However, to Lorne’s surprise, shortly after noon, his tavern welcomed three people in strange clothes.
