Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 60: Parizaad Became Queen

On vast grassy plains, the surroundings were empty, and at a glance, there seemed to be no end to the plains.

"So it’s here?"

Riding his horse on the plains, Sharky looked around thinking to himself.

It had been three or so months since the end of the Martial Tournament.

Just like Sharky had ordered, Parizaad made him a Count and gave him the territory in Dildar.

The Dildar region was a vast region that bordered between the Alexa Principality and the desert.

Parizaad had generously given the entire Dildar region to Sharky now that he was a Count.

Just from the area, Sharky’s territory was much larger than other rulers’ territory.

However, this was just a number.

In actuality, because Dildar bordered the desert, many areas within it were occupied by Outlanders. It would be quite difficult to unify the entire region.

But for the normal people, for the Sharky, Outlander was the manpower, and he belongs to the modern world, so he just needs the lands. And he can create a futuristic city, if he wants.

But there was no time for it, here he had just a mission to develop the northern region, and search for the Titanus DNA.

He started searching for the Titanus DNA, and visiting all of the Outlanders area.

While Selina, Tina and Jasmine as Sharky has explained, they started working on it, and began to establish his own territory.

Honestly speaking, wanting to start building from scratch in an empty area was a very difficult thing.

But for Sharky, this was just as easy as eating a pie. And now, he just needs to give some commands, and since Tina has seen him acting in the Daifin territory. She understood what needed to be done.

Selina and Tina, together with others, patrol the surrounding area, getting rid of some bandits and small tribes, making those people all slaves.

Following this, using his authority as the ruler of this territory, they gathered his subjects in the territory.

This way, they were able to gather the population together, and they began to clear wild areas to construct towns and cities.

After the population was gathered, the area that Sharky needed to defend became much smaller, reducing the pressure on his military forces.

After the towns and cities began to develop, the remaining villages were attracted over and began to relocate.

This way, Sharky’s territory began to slowly develop.

Time gradually passed, and soon, two years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Much had happened, and much had changed.

Within the Alexa Royal City, the King passed away, and Princess Parizaad and Prince Smith began to fight over the throne.

But with the Sharky’s help, in the end, it was Princess Parizaad who won, becoming the Queen of the Alexa Principality.

Because Sharky has already killed the Tolis Kingdom’s three Knights by himself.

After becoming the Queen, in order to reward Sharky and her other supporters, Parizaad stripped the territories from Smith’s supporters and gave them to her own supporters.

After that final battle, the situation in the Alexa Principality began to stabilize.

As the Queen, Parizaad remained within the Alexa Royal City. But in the two years, Sharky has not come any time to her, since he was busy searching for the Titanus DNA.

Still, he didn’t find it.

After two years had passed, the current Dildar was much different than how it used to be.

If someone who had seen Dildar before Sharky went there. And saw it now, they would be completely shocked by how much it had changed.

Compared to two years ago, most of Dildar was still wilderness, but there were many forts now.

These were military structures that Sharky had based on the castles of his world. Even though their defensive powers could not compare to real castles, they were simpler to build and still had good defenses.

At the very least, Orc bandits without proper sieging tools could never force their way in.

The forts surrounded Dildar’s borders, blocking many Outlanders from the desert.

Because of this, the towns and cities behind them were able to develop well.

During these two years, the towns and cities that Selina and Tina had established became more lively.

Even though they seemed quite simple and there were not many people on the streets, they were still filled with life.

If one looked around, they would see that there were all kinds of Outlanders working in the fields.

These were the Outlander slaves Sharky had obtained from the desert. They were used for construction and labor.

Every year, they would obtain a large number of slaves from the battles in the desert, and these slaves had many uses.

Those who behaved well were allowed to work in the fields, and those who were dangerous were made to do dangerous things, such as being cannon fodder.

It was because they had these slaves that Sharky’s territory was able to develop so quickly.

What was ironic was that among these slaves, many of them had been sold by their own tribes.

Different from other rulers, after Sharky came here, and since he was busy searching for the Titanus DNA.

For it he visited many Outlanders areas, so his relationship with them, already formed.

He knew that even though the Outlanders had different appearances to humans, they also had self-awareness and intelligence; it was just that their civilization was less advanced than humans’.

These Outlanders provided Sharky with all kinds of desert specialties and slaves, while Sharky provided them with crops and food.

Just like that, he was able to obtain large amounts of desert specialties and slaves directly from Outlanders.

He could use the slaves himself to save on costs, while he could send the desert specialties to the south to earn high profits.

He came into the meeting hall, and looked, everyone’s mood was grim. Even Selina and Tina have anger in their faces.

Since he was busy searching for the Titanus DNA, he didn’t know what was going on in the kingdom, nor did he have any time for it.

But after not getting any results, he has finally appeared in the meeting room.

"Master, from the moment you are busy with your own work. Her majesty is busy killing people and taking their territory," Selina sighed while explaining.

"This time, three families were deemed traitors and were suppressed by Her Majesty, and their territories were taken away..."

"So, what problem does this have, I have already explained to her about this," Sharky asked, he didn’t know what had happened.

"Master, although it was the plan to take the territory. But at least we need to give some reason, as you have planned. But Her Majesty, from the past two years, when she had ascended to the throne, her personality had become more and more terrifying."

"It was alright at first, but as time passed, every now and then she would put someone to death. She would use all kinds of excuses to also take land from nobles."

"This caused many people to feel terrified. Moreover, She did not seem like she would stop, and this instead became more and more frequent."

Tina gives the details.

"What?" Now Sharky looked shocked, and he began to feel quite concerned.

He has already talked to Parizaad about certain things, before she became the Queen.

The Alexa Principality was a classic feudalistic kingdom, with the King as the head.

The King then conferred titles, creating nobles who acted as rulers over their own territories.

In actuality, the Alexa Principality was not a very complete Kingdom; rather, it was a military alliance with the Alexa King or Queen as the head.

Apart from the territories that the royal family directly ruled over, the other rulers did not need to pay tax to the royal family; they only needed to provide military support and conduct certain tasks now and then.

Even these duties were not always enforceable.

When the royal family was powerful, the rulers would naturally be obedient and would not try anything.

However, once the royal family went into decline, they would not necessarily be so obedient. When that time came, it would be good for them not to make any trouble for the royal family; how could they continue to act loyally?

Even though having many nobles ruling over their own territories saved on the costs and effort of governing the kingdom, it brought with it its own risks.

When the royal family became weakened and could no longer suppress the nobles, the nobles would sometimes gather together and attack the royal family.

This had happened many times before in the Alexa Principality’s past.

The current royal family seems to have been established like this.

As from modern civilization, Sharky could naturally see the hidden risks in this structure, and he had mentioned them to Parizaad.

Because of what he had told her, Parizaad took the initiative to weaken the nobles and even took land away from some nobles.

In actuality, every generation of King and Queen would do such a thing.

After all, it was every monarch’s instinct to make themselves more powerful and others less powerful.

But he didn’t know, Parizaad’s actions would become a bit too rushed and tyrannical.

Observing Parizaad’s actions, Sharky could not help but frown.

She was not wrong in wanting to weaken the nobles and taking their land.

However, she needed to find appropriate reasons and excuses, which would allow her to continue to suppress them.

If she did not have a proper reason or excuse, this would result in intense anger and fear from the nobles, resulting in them viewing Parizaad with hostility.

When things reached an extreme, they often moved in the opposite direction. The nobles of this world held great power, and they were not to be underestimated.

If they were really forced into a corner, the power that they could explode out with would be terrifying.

However, Parizaad did not have any proper reasons or excuses.

Otherwise, Sharky would not have frowned when hearing about what she had done.

As for absolute power, Sharky thought to himself.

Parizaad’s power came from three sources.

The first was her own territory.

This had been given to her by the late King, and she had developed it for many years. It was her own territory and was quite stable.

The second was her position as Queen and the royal family’s power.

This power was quite great, and it had been accumulated by the royal family.

The third was from Sharky and the nobles who supported her to ascend to the throne.

It was just that as time went on, this third source of strength would gradually fade.

This was because of a variety of reasons, but the main one would be because they had not been sufficiently rewarded.

These people had supported Parizaad to become the Queen, and they naturally wanted to receive abundant rewards for helping her.

However, after becoming Queen, Parizaad had not truly met the expectations of the people. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

While most had been granted land, much of it was located near the desert’s border—harsh, unforgiving territory.

For example, Sharky’s own land, Dildar, was a remote area near the desert as well.

Although Sharky managed to turn Dildar into a thriving region within just two years, not everyone had the same skills, resources, or leadership to do the same.

Many settlers in those desert-border lands faced constant hardship. Some even lost their lives in battles with the Outlanders.

Those who managed to survive such struggles had little reason to feel thankful to Parizaad.

On the other hand, one of Sharky’s proposals—to open up new, more fertile territory—was actually implemented well by Parizaad, gaining her some credit.

Thinking about the situation, Sharky could not help but feel a bit of a headache, and he lightly rubbed his forehead.

His suggestion to open up new territory was for Parizaad to give nobles without territory or those younger sons of noble families an opportunity to receive a title and territory in the north.

After all, they did not have anything, so if they could obtain territory, they would be satisfied.

Moreover, it would be their own choice if they went to the north. Even if they died, Parizaad would not receive any blame.

However, it was different for her subordinates and followers.

These subordinates and followers had contributed much to Parizaad’s success. They had given much and would naturally also expect much.

What they wanted was not remote and barren lands in the north but more prosperous territories.

However, Parizaad’s actions had disappointed them.
