Chapter 635: Chapter 153: The Situation Changes Back
Just as Gloria III had claid, since that nobility eting, no noble had seen Gloria III again.
No matter what happened, the person in charge was only the Governor temporarily appointed by the Great Emperor. Even the many princes and princesses could no longer see the Great Emperor.
As this situation continued, a vast amount of indistinguishable true and false rumors suddenly began to circulate in the private gatherings of the nobles.
So said that Gloria III’s abnormal behavior was due to a kind of injury sustained during the sudden great battle in the previous summit eting, which necessitated him to retreat and recuperate.
This was highly intriguing, as Gloria III, who stood at the peak of the entire Empire as a Ninth Rank powerhouse, what kind of injury would force him to go into seclusion to heal?
Others believed that the Emperor was rely pretending, using the need for recuperation as an excuse to deliberately ignore the conflict between the Four Great Families and the many Marquises.
This theory seed plausible as well, after all, everyone had seen the confrontation between Duke Karlars and the nurous Marquises at that ti.
Although, due to Gloria III’s sudden announcent of recuperation, the eting had ended without a conclusion, but the conflict between the two camps was far from over.
The above two are the rumors that are privately recognized as the most probable and widely circulated.
There are also many more sensational speculations, such as the current Gloria III being a stand-in and the real Emperor is already dead; or that the Great Emperor is using recuperation as a guise to secretly attempt to break through to the Legendary Rank.
However, these ssages are only circulated in so secret clubs, and as for the real truth, probably only Gloria III himself knows.
anwhile, Duke Carrot found himself in a rather awkward predicant during this ti.
The nurous Marquises had unusually banded together, except for two who were originally closer to the Olivendi Family and did not clearly take sides this ti, other including the neutral Marquises all stood on the side of Draka.
But at a ti like this, even if they had not declared an allegiance, Carrot couldn’t completely trust them—what if they suddenly turned their backs?
Seven Ninth Rank Marquises are a trendous force that no one can overlook.
Indeed, when the combined number of Ninth Ranks of Olivendi and Alfred Families is put together, it still exceeds that of the seven Marquises, but reality is never simply a comparison of numbers.
Unless both families are prepared to annihilate each other at all costs, but that would result in both sides being severely weakened, ultimately allowing other enemies to benefit from their loss.
During this ti, Duke Carrot tried to probe the intentions of the Enock and Aslade families regarding this matter, but the responses were much the sa.
They could support the Olivendi Family’s side, but the Olivendi Family must share the real secret of the ‘Star’.
The Four Great Families of the Empire usually present a united front, but this ti it was a purely internal power struggle within the Gloria Empire, and it was far from enough to lead to the destruction of the Olivendi Family, thus the other two Duke Families had no reason to imdiately co to their aid.
Moreover, with Fiona, who had just erged as a likely Prophetic Star, and now Anvis seemingly related to a High Rank Prophet, does the Olivendi Family wish to ascend to the heavens?
If there is no clear response, then the Enock and Aslade families are indeed happy to see the Olivendi weakened a bit.
When Carrot heard such responses, he knew that the other two Great Families were probably not to be counted on this ti,
Although Carrot had his own speculations about the subject of the prophecy, it was without a doubt that the result, whatever it might be, was a top-secret matter that absolutely could not be shared, and the Alfred Family would never agree to it.
Hence, without any warning, covert frictions began to occur within the empire’s territory.
Unlike the minor disturbances initiated by the Constant Gold Club, the frictions between the two great Duke Families and the nurous Marquises, although still restrained at present, nonetheless affected a significant part of the Gloria Empire.
The Empire’s sudden change of situation first impacted the nurous underground forces of the Empire.
Every little disturbance would be swiftly magnified in the underworld. A large number of organizations that had seed independent were erased overnight, only to be later found with evidence linking them to certain families or Marquises.
All over the place, the Thief Guilds, Assassin Organizations, and other chaotic factions’ subdivision branches were filled with an extensive list of tasks, covering all the forces under several great Marquises and two great Families.
With both sides at the Ninth Rank not entering the fray personally, the situation within the Gloria Empire beca sowhat chaotic.
Amidst such circumstances, so mid-sized nobles and students from Professional Colleges across the land also began to develop their own forces amidst the chaos.
Gloria III disregarded state affairs, and the Dukes and Marquises were preoccupied with internal strife, presenting a perfect opportunity for others to fish in troubled waters.
Under the influence of these circumstances, the students from Pamir Academy were no exception.
Among the friends Anvis knew, Prince Lanno had lately beco noticeably busy; the scions of several great Families were much the sa, all taking advantage of the situation to operate their forces and nibble away at interests that belonged to others, which were inconvenient to touch in more peaceful tis.
Even the Secret Ceremony Society and Constant Gold Crown Comrce under Anvis’s own command recently attracted quite a bit of peeping, but due to Anvis’s earlier outstanding military achievents, most people did not dare attempt anything rash.
After understanding the subsequent changes in the Empire’s situation, Anvis, who was far in the Yiter Federation, couldn’t help but fall silent.
He established the Truth Circle, destroyed Sky City at a critical mont, causing the Magic Council’s Stargazers to be directly backlash into slumber, and the initial cause for the Empire’s chaos, the Resistance Army organization, was also snuffed out at its inception, forced to flee to the Federation to develop,
All these changes prevented the subsequent interference of the Church Court and Magic Council, and the Glory Alliance was directly established on the Yiter Kingdom Federation. The Gloria Empire’s territory, which might have been in turmoil, maintained relative stability.
But now, he himself had beco the fuse that ignited the unrest.
Although unclear why Gloria III went into seclusion, the current reality is that, having gained so unknown support, nurous Marquises have openly begun to band together against the two great Families, which is almost tantamount to an open rupture.
With Gloria III not intervening, it is impossible for any side to yield voluntarily. And with no convenience for the Ninth Rank to intervene personally, there’s a high chance it would evolve into a long-term upheaval.
Indeed, he had changed the Empire, but fate had altered it back from another angle.
….
However, while Anvis was studying the Empire’s situation, an unexpected situation arose for him.
Orbins, who had been taken as a student by Veronica of the Space-Ti Ring and had gone to the Continent Magic Council for extended studies without any news, suddenly made a rare contact with Anvis, and arranged to et him at the Magic Light Hotel in the Empire Capital.
