Princess's Residence.
In the hall, Lacey summoned all his bodyguards.
"An army is raised for a thousand days to be used in one battle. Today I have offended Kali, and Kali will surely take action against me! Therefore, I have decided to fight Kali to the death!"
"If any of you are afraid, you can leave the princess's residence now. I can pay you three years' salary. You can take your whole family and leave the capital, completely severing ties with me!"
Lacey's gaze swept across the faces of each of her men.
But at that moment, no one bowed their head; their faces were filled with determination.
"We are lowly commoners, but the princess gave us jobs and dignity. We will never let the princess down!"
The guard leader raised his fist high above his head.
"Protect the princess!"
"Protect the princess!"
"Fight to the very end for the princess!"
"We swear to be loyal to the princess to the death!"
Everyone spoke in unison, their emotions running high.
"What have I, Lacey, done to deserve this..." Lacey was moved by this scene, and tears streamed down her face.
Lin Yu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but nod to himself.
Although Lacey is a woman, she is an excellent leader. The fact that her subordinates are still loyal to her to the death in the face of this situation shows that she is a wise ruler!
That's why he chose to support Lacey.
If Lacey were also a profit-driven person, he would never be standing here right now. With his methods, all the nobles and high-ranking officials of the Mayan Kingdom could have died tragically overnight.
But he didn't want to cause unnecessary bloodshed. Now that an excellent leader had stepped forward, all he needed to do was support her.
"Your Highness, the King has arrived!"
At this moment, the butler rushed over to report.
"Father has arrived?"
Lacey's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips, saying, "Okay, I understand, I'll go see him right now!"
“Lin Yu, you are free to move around in my residence. You can also come to me anytime if you need anything. I’m going to see my father first!” Lacey said.
Lin Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay, you can go ahead!"
Lacey nodded and walked outside.
At this moment, Lewandowski sat in the living room, feeling restless and anxious.
Upon seeing his daughter arrive, he immediately stood up from his seat.
"My daughter, my daughter, what can I say to you? Is that Kali someone to be trifled with? You've turned against him to this extent, what about my royal family!" Lewandowski complained with a bitter face.
Lacey pursed her lips. "Father, I'm sorry, I've dragged the royal family down with me! But I really can't accept Kali. He's increasingly disregarding the royal family, and his expansion plans are digging up our Mayan tombs. I absolutely cannot let him do that!"
Levan looked helpless. "Daughter! The military power is in their hands now, what can we do? Besides, even if you don't like him, you can do it tactfully. Why provoke him and make things awkward for both of you? You are a princess of a country, you must understand your responsibilities!"
“I… I never expected things to turn out this way! But Father, I’ve made my decision. I will take full responsibility for this. I will fight Kali to the end, and it has nothing to do with the royal family!” Lacey said with a determined look.
"What nonsense!" Lewandowski snapped. "You are my daughter, the sole heir to the throne. Do you think you can just sever that relationship so easily?"
"Then what do you want me to do?" Lacey asked helplessly.
Lewandowski took a deep breath and said, "Cali is at the peak of his career right now, we absolutely cannot go against him. He just wants a way out today! In that case, let's give him a way out and let this matter settle down completely!"
"What steps?" Lacey asked, puzzled.
"What other excuse could it be!" Lewandowski said irritably. "It's all because of your audacious guard! He's the one who got us into this mess! He has to be held responsible. My idea is to tie him up and hand him over to Kali!"
"no!"
Lacey immediately rejected her father's suggestion, gritting her teeth and saying, "I've said it before, Lin Yu saved my life, and I consider him like an older brother. I will never allow anyone to hurt him! Besides, he did everything he could to protect me today. How can I push someone who protected me out to curry favor with the enemy!"
"Daughter, you're so foolish!"
Lewandowski said speechlessly, "He was just a guard. So what if he sacrificed himself? What's the big deal? Can his life compare to our royal family's? It's utterly insignificant! These servants are born to sacrifice for us. Using his life to quell Kali's anger is worthwhile!"
Lacey shook her head and said coldly, "Father, I really didn't expect that you, as a king, would say such a thing?"
“All life in this world is equal! Not to mention that Lin Yu is my savior! I owe him my life, and I would even die for him! But you want me to harm him or betray him? Absolutely not! Unless my head is chopped off and my blood runs dry, I will protect him to the end and live and die with him!”
"you!"
Lewandowski was shocked by his daughter's resolute attitude.
He never imagined that his daughter would go to such lengths for a servant.
Is this really the daughter I know?
It seems impossible to persuade my daughter to hand over Lin Yu.
"call!"
He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said, "Alright, since you're so protective of this young man, I won't say anything more!"
"As your father, I can only stand by you through thick and thin!"
"Father, you..."
Lacey's eyes trembled slightly; she hadn't expected her father's attitude to change so quickly.
"Would you like to join me in dealing with Kali?"
"Yes, that's right!"
Lewandowski nodded. "Rather than ek out a living under his tyranny, it's better to fight to the death! Perhaps there's still a sliver of hope!"
"You mean..."
"What I mean is, strike first!"
Lewandowski narrowed his eyes and said, "Before he makes a move, let's strike first and kill him completely, then seize his military power! However, Kali is no pushover either. If we fail to suppress him and he recovers, we'll be the ones who die. So this matter needs careful planning, and of course, we'll need your help!"
"Yes, Father, I will definitely help you! As long as you are willing to deal with Kali, I will do everything I can to help you!" Lacey said excitedly.
Unexpectedly, my cowardly father has finally awakened today and regained his kingly aura.
Lewandowski nodded and said, "Okay, wait for my news. After we get back, I'll discuss it with your uncles!"
