Chapter 466: Chapter 462: Nobles’ Rebellion

“Grace Edict? What does this tyrannous queen wish to do? To dissolve our noble class?” An angry voice echoed in a gloomy secret chamber.

“Such a nice Grace Edict. If this little tyrant successfully imposes it, could our family possibly remain the sa hundreds of years from now? I fear we’d directly fraction and crumble.”

“My idiots of sons have already started a dispute with my eldest, I am truly tempted to beat these fools to death. Can’t they see this obvious sche?” A nobleman grumbled, with a faint murderous intent in his voice. He was truly contemplating killing his own offspring.

“My family too has begun its clamor. Oh, my dear sons and daughters. I feel that it won’t be long before they have thoughts of challenging .”

“What, handing your head over to the new king in loyalty? Well, aren’t your offspring sothing. Hahahaha!”

“The Grace Edict, unless one is a fool, they can see the malice behind it. But even after realizing it, what can be done? It’s nothing but a barefaced plot.” A nobleman sneered, admiration subtly laced in his tone, “We’ve all underestimated Her Majesty the Queen. With a plot like this, she is far stronger than her father, Belradin.”

“Huh, for our heirs without inheritance rights, the Grace Edict is indeed a supre grace. When I was young and had no inheritance rights, if the king had issued this edict, I would have fought tooth and nail to support him.”

“That’s the nature of a barefaced plot. Perceiving it is futile. According to the Grace Edict, all noble offspring can have their inheritance rights. Just a few of you, enjoying won and fathering nurous bastards, as per the Grace Edict, your territories will be directly divided into several knight territories. In the unfortunate event, your family inheritance will die out within three generations. This is uprooting us.”

“That’s not sothing she could co up with. Aside from killing, what else can this little girl do?”

“Then who ca up with such a ruthless edict?”

“It must be the Golden Dragon. Only he could think up of such a cruel edict.”

“Why didn’t he implent it during his reign? Instead, waited till his departure to let this little tyrant do it. If he had ordered the implentation, we would have had no choice but to accept it.”

“And do we have a second choice now?”

“Of course, we do.” The nobleman speaking wore a sinister smile on his face, “The Scarlett family isn’t only composed of Remilia.”

“You’re talking about other collateral branches? What’s the use of them? Only Remilia has the rightful inheritance. Those branches do not.”

“What if the queen suddenly dies of an accident then? Wouldn’t the collateral branches possess the inheritance rights then? We just need to instate an obedient successor at that point.”

“Regicide! Have you gone mad?”

“And why not?”

“Let’s not forget, Princess Remilia was raised by that despot. If he returns and discovers her death, who could withstand his wrath? You? Even our descendants?”

“Assassinating the queen is an ill-considered thod, it’s not suitable. That despot even has the capacity to annihilate an entire kingdom. What he cares about the most in our Lockman Kingdom is only her. Once she dies, I can’t even imagine the consequences.”

“What do you suggest then?”

“Stir those below to rebel! Let the kingdom’s chaos and the death of commoners coerce this little girl into backing down and negotiating. Let’s see how many lives it costs before she’s willing to negotiate decently with us and return our rights.”

“Will she care about those low-class people?”

“Just look at her enactnt of the edict, she, just like that despot, cares very much about those low-class people, as insignificant as weeds.”

“So let it be. Let’s try this way first.”

… In dark, secret chambers, one face after another filled with dissatisfaction and anger, they whispered among themselves. With the help of the teleportation array, they quickly reached a consensus.

Just short of nine years after the Magic Disaster, and less than three years after the Grand Duke left his office, Queen Remilia’s regi saw the Lockman Kingdom break out into unprecedented rebellion.

Almost simultaneously, rebel armies appeared all over the Lockman Kingdom, with more than sixty rebel forces showing up, leaving the Lockman Kingdom in chaos in no ti.

The rebels were led by all the noblen, and the reason for rebelling was their dissatisfaction with Queen Remilia. They cited she oppressed the nobility too harshly.

The rebel nobles demanded the return of the rights they had been deprived of and asked the queen to publicly apologize to the nobles she had ordered to execute.

Queen Remilia responded to none of these demands, but decisively dispatched her army to suppress the rebels, slaughtering all those who dared to rebel and provoke her authority, with no intention to compromise.

After the bloody suppression of more than ten rebel forces, Queen Remilia found that none of the rebel noblen held any titles higher than count; none of the great nobles of marquis level or above participated. Moreover, these noblen were all alone, their families and relatives had all disappeared, and their whereabouts were unknown.

“Still sending chess pieces to probe , these skulking vermin.” The blue-haired, crimson-eyed Loli queen sat on her throne, her face cold, an impassive killing intent present in her eyes. Faint golden light swirled in her azure eyes.

“Your Majesty, this is one of the most probable outcos after you issued the Grace Edict. The landed nobles will never obediently accept the Grace Edict. This was expected, so you need not lose your temper.”

“They won’t accept it? Hmph, I’ll kill until they accept. I am the kingdom, my will is the kingdom’s will.” Remilia showed undisguised killing intent. In her view, problems that could be solved by killing weren’t problems at all. Eliminating those who cause problems eradicates the issue.

“Your Majesty, endless killing doesn’t solve everything, sotis using conciliatory asures is necessary.” A minister frowned at Remilia, who had beco sowhat domineering over the years of her reign, and plucked up the courage to attempt appeasing her.

“Compromise is for the weaklings. When my brother ruled, these scums didn’t make a single wrong move.”

“Can they be compared?” In the Council Hall, the nobles and ministers exchanged glances knowingly and mutely complained in their hearts without voicing it out loud.

Although Remilia displayed a slightly regal deanor since coming to power, her nature was still that of an immature Loli.
