The fervor in Little Lion's eyes was filled with a greed that was almost tangible and...
bewildering.
Greed stems from the truest desires of the heart.
He had waited too long.
He wanted to uncover Count Bert's 'undying' secret. Upon learning of this from his father, he harbored this thought.
As a king, he deemed it only fitting to be undying.
And as a king, while waiting for an opportunity, he was also preparing himself.
He didn't mind using Arthur as a stepping stone, and he was ready to step in himself if necessary.
Therefore—
Ever since he first laid eyes on Count Bert, everything was aimed at probing this moment. The shock, disbelief, mixed fear displayed in his emotions, and the endless stream of secret techniques were all tests.
Fortunately, he succeeded in probing.
"Time!
It was actually time!
Hahaha!"
Unable to hold back, Little Lion laughed happily, his laughter loud and unrestrained.
