Chapter 861 - Henry's Past

"Brother!"

Landon stepped out of his vehicle and hugged the lean man before him.

Henry, himself and Astar had similar body sizes and were all somewhat slim when compared to many.

William and Sirius were a little bit muscular than they were, but not overly exaggerated.

Henry smiled broadly while hugging his lifesaver.

This was the man that saved his life when he got captured earlier.

And this same man still came to his aid to put him on the throne.

Of course, Henry wasn’t dumb.

There was no free meal in this world.

Even though he already had a positive feeling towards Landon based on all he heard about Baymard, he still held back a bit when he first met Landon.

Why?

Because he didn’t know why this famous man would favour someone like him, so he felt like he wouldn’t live up to whatever Landon’s expectations were.

In fact, one could see where Henry’s inferiority complex came from.

Because in his case, he was truly alone with almost no support in this cold world.

.

For William of Arcadina, he had his parents alive, who also pushed him through in a way.

For Penelope in Carona, her parents did the same.

Sirius from Yodan was also similar because I’m his father had hidden the fact that he was the successor of the throne from everyone.

So no one even mentioned him, making him gather more forces in the dark.

His father had cleared the way and done several things in secret for him as well.

Not to talk of Astar from Terique, who had the backing of his family as well.

All these people had support one way or another.

But Henry’s case was different.

His mother died when he was still a child, and his stepmother’s in the palace prevented him from learning all he could.

They only allowed him to know how to read, write, sword fight, and do addition and subtraction.

Things like learning military tactics or other military skills weren’t taught to him in the palace.

He did his best to raise Henry without trying to make it too obvious.

But sadly, the enemy his time was up.

The famous war God of Deiferus died because of a framed assassination attempt.

Even his father was happy about it because his father had always been wary of the war God.

Henry was all alone at that point, and his grandfather’s people dared to contact him yet because they would be putting him at risk again.

Nonetheless, the royals captured many of his grandfather’s people and killed them off.

Of course, many stayed in hiding and assumed noble lives as farmers and peasants.

Nonetheless, they were very loyal to his grandfather, and they more than anyone else knew that if they ripened their mouth to reveal any secrets, then they too would die.

So many of the war God’s secrets ended up dying with him.

The royals who wanted to know everything ended up learning of just one of his hideout bases.

The rest were still a mystery to this day.

It was as if the heavens were constantly preventing them from knowing anything else because they couldn’t pry open the mouths of these people.

And so Henry used his grandfather’s bases and began his journey of survival.

.

At the time, Henry never thought of taking the throne, just getting revenge.

But after speaking with Landon, he changed his mind.

Why?

Because Landon had the same vision as his grandfather.

And after seeing the contract, he was even more convinced of Landon’s character.

The man had a goal to help the people and wanted to put good people on the throne.

Apparently, this was the reason why this great man chose to put him on the throne.

It was all for the people’s benefit.

Henry saw his grandfather in Landon and felt more motivated than ever.

He was right!

The empire was rotten, and the people were suffering.

Someone had to do something about it.

So why not him?

It was time for Deiferus to change!
