Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1203 - 877: Arrival and the Reactions of All Sides (2)
"Originally, he couldn’t do much, a mere Earl’s family couldn’t change the situation in the Queen’s domain, but... the ’Puppet’ actually awakened in the Beryl Earl’s territory, falling into their hands."
"The Beryl Earl, knowing the existence and significance of the ’Puppet’, is bound to have some ideas."
"Having his own sister hide the whereabouts of the ’Puppet’, and at the appropriate time, when it appears, find a way to send the ’Puppet’ to the Queen’s palace in Uruwashi, is the only intervention he could make concerning the state of the nation."
Considering this, the woman had long been mentally prepared.
She knew that as long as nothing happened to the ’Puppet’, the other party would eventually embark on a journey to Uruwashi, entering the Queen’s palace.
She was also observing whether, facing assassination attempts from various factions, that ’Puppet’ could safely reach Uruwashi and enter the Queen’s palace.
The only thing she didn’t expect was that the other party would get involved with the super genius famous in the central continent and bring him here.
Now, the legendary ’Puppet’ has successfully reached Uruwashi and is about to enter the Queen’s palace, and the rumored Thunder Light Sword Saint is also coming here, entering this fiercely contested national core...
"Things are getting a bit troublesome."
The woman sighed, feeling that she could no longer peacefully enjoy her rare afternoon tea session.
However...
"The most anxious isn’t me, but rather my opportunistic brother." The woman suddenly relaxed her frown, and said: "Since that’s the case, we don’t have to rush, let’s observe a bit longer."
"Is that alright?" the maid said with some concern, "On Her Majesty’s side..."
"It’s fine." The woman shook her head, saying, "Considering Her Majesty’s current state, she can’t do much anymore."
"If that one wants to regain her past rights and status, she can only rely on herself."
"This is not a few hundred years ago, no one will willingly offer her their power and seat her on the throne."
"If she wants to reclaim the Queen’s position, there are plenty of people in this country who will hinder her."
With that, the woman picked up the red tea before her and drank it leisurely.
"Being tense is useless, we can only watch for now."
Upon hearing this, the maid lowered her head, indicating her understanding.
Little did she know, her master wasn’t as calm as she appeared on the surface.
There were still too many unstable factors concerning the ’Puppet’, and until these uncertainties settled, she wouldn’t fear its arrival.
But... regarding that young Sword Saint who became a legendary figure in less than a year, the woman couldn’t ignore his purpose and stance.
If he supports that one, then the trouble would indeed be significant.
Opposing a super strong individual who could be called the strongest in the kingdom, with two female Sword Saint’s Attendants under his command, would be exceedingly unwise.
At least, she couldn’t confront him directly.
If he doesn’t plan to withdraw...
"...can’t confront, must find a way to win him over."
The woman, who came to this conclusion, began to drink tea while constructing various plans in her mind.
...
As is well known, no royal family has only one or two offspring.
For example, the previous King Hemulinp of the Ginas Kingdom had over ten children, not counting the non-biological Liz, far exceeding average families or even nobility.
In the Tistis Kingdom, the situation wasn’t quite like that.
After all, the Queen is the King in this country, and as women, they couldn’t marry multiple people at once and have numerous children, unlike men.
In the Tistis Kingdom, the Queen only marries one man in her lifetime, that man is the Prince of the Queen’s domain.
And with the Queen having a high status and being busy with state affairs, it’s naturally impossible to have many children.
Therefore, the current royal family in the Tistis Kingdom only has three descendants at most.
These three include one male and two females.
Given this situation, among the royal descendants of this generation, it should have been a fight between the two Princesses, while the remaining Prince seeks another path early on.
Unfortunately, the historical rule in the Tistis Kingdom, where only Princesses could rise to power and the ruler is always a Queen, finally sparked widespread dissatisfaction in the recent few generations.
Just because he’s a male, he loses the chance for the throne?
How could such big-prince minds accept this?
After the first Queen’s passing, Tistis Kingdom lost the optimism from its founding days, and through several generations of Queens, the realm not only failed to develop but grew weaker, creating many issues and finally leading to unrest among the royal Princes.
Thus, the Tistis Kingdom fell into chaos.
Of course, if it were just fights among royal descendants, it wouldn’t impact the entire Queen’s domain.
The problem is, these disputes have subtly expanded from the royal family to the entire noble circle of the Queen’s domain.
Take this generation, for example, even though there are only three royal descendants, those who have the right to inherit the throne are not limited to these three.
For nearly three generations, the Dukes and the royal family shared close blood ties, and even their offspring have the right of succession, qualifying them to compete with the three Princes and Princesses of the royal family.
And among the Dukes’ offspring, there are also both males and females. This led to alliances between the gender groups before the conflicts, hoping to cut out the other side before battling among themselves.
This is how the Prince faction, consisting of male successors, and the Princess faction, comprising female successors, naturally emerged.
When Reiger and the others entered Uruwashi and reached the Queen’s palace, more than just those two referred to as ’Your Highness’ were aware of their arrival.
All members of the Prince faction and the Princess faction with succession rights received the news and were on alert.
"So they have arrived?"
"After sending so many to assassinate, none succeeded?"
"Damn, this is troubling."
"That one’s arrival is no good for us."
"No, after coming this far, losing is not an option."
"The legendary ’Puppet’ has entered the Queen’s palace, and it’s too late to stop it."
"Let’s see what those three in the Queen’s palace will do."
"Surely His Highness Hosari won’t just watch the ’Puppet’ awaken, right?"
"Let’s see Her Majesty’s response."
"I refuse to believe that someone from centuries ago, isolated and unsupported, could subdue the current Tistis Kingdom."
The various factions, some stunned, some worried, some unwilling, some resentful, and others coldly observing, awaited the unfolding situation.
It was only natural that the small countries eyeing Tistis Kingdom were also observing everything and secretly plotting.
Unaware that he had become a thorn in many minds, Reiger, accompanied by Liz and others, rode a dragon cart into the Queen’s palace.
With the Beryll Family’s endorsement, merely entering the Queen’s palace wouldn’t lead to being stopped by gatekeepers.
However, just because no one stopped them didn’t mean there was anyone to receive them or welcome them either.
Due to the lack of a guide and hospitality, Reiger and the others ended up being completely neglected, unsure of where to go after entering the Queen’s palace.
"Let’s go that way."
After silently taking a look around, Yanifet pointed in a direction.
In the direction she pointed, there stood a remarkably grand and magnificent palace.
"That’s the Queen’s bedchamber."
Yanifet, like a female general leading an expedition or a King returning from a private visit, spoke with a calm and natural tone.
"Since the opportunity is rare, let me return to the bedchamber first and then entertain you all."
