Zaecuria Kingdom.
"Interesting. To think that the Muivell Kingdom has changed its owner..." The king squinted his eyes.
"What shall we do, Your Majesty? Should we also try..."
The king hurriedly waved his hand. "Noel Ardagan will be coming to us the next day. I’m afraid we can’t provoke him right now."
"..." The minister fell silent while another minister acknowledged that fact. "Yes. It’s impossible to provoke him. Noel Ardagan and Anna Stargaze. Those two have beco spirit transcendence, and their strength is not low. Even the admiral said Noel Ardagan managed to take down two ancient demons and a spirit transcendence by himself.
"In addition, according to the information, Noel Ardagan might have two more spirit transcendences hidden from the public eye. We don’t know much about their existence, so if we get hit by the ambush, it will beco chaotic.
"If I’m not wrong, the Moon Temple’s saintess has also reached that stage... And she’s very close with him..."
"!!!" Another minister squinted his eyes. "Are you implying that Noel Ardagan has a secret to creating a spirit transcendence?"
"I can’t say that, but the possibility is not low. After digging through all kinds of records, I have found out that his ancestor, Alexander Ardagan, had ten commandants in the past, each of them being a spirit transcendence. His wife and brother-in-law are also the sa.
"So, he might have received the inheritance from his ancestor, which is that secret. If we provoke him, there might be more hidden spirit transcendences that are ready to terrorize this country.
"Fortunately, Noel Ardagan is not a warmonger. Unless we provoke him, we don’t have to worry about it."
"Still, fearing a single family is..."
"I know. It’s annoying. It’s making our kingdom’s standing lower, but the sa applies to all kingdoms.
"Noel Ardagan must have predicted this outco the whole ti. That’s why he keeps close ties to all four kingdoms.
"The Atracaeca Kingdom, while not his closest allies, has settled the grudge between them. There’s even a high chance for them to collaborate together.
"The Greenwood Kingdom is the closest one. The information we got earlier had also stated Duke Lorelei was spotted in the capital city, so the new ruler must be close to him, who is close to Noel Ardagan.
"If we try to convince other kingdoms about attacking him together to suppress him, how can we be so sure that one of the kings will betray the coalition?
"Besides, there is so information regarding the demon’s movent. If this is true, there’s a high chance of the demon king’s story being true. We need him to deal with the demon king.
"Granted, it will also an we won’t stand a chance against a spirit king. That’s why... It’s already too late to do anything to Noel Ardagan. It’s better to stay on his good side."
The minister’s words made sense. They never thought Noel had thought this far.
When people worked together to deal with a common enemy, they would be united until that goal was achieved before eliminating the person that could deal with that common enemy.
Noel might have realized this from the beginning, which was the reason for him being close to all kingdoms. It would prevent him from getting stabbed in the back.
Of course, Noel had predicted such a thing the mont Anna told him about their previous life. Knowing that he was betrayed by the third prince, he might experience the sa thing, but by others.
This was Noel’s way of keeping all kingdoms in check.
The king stated, "We need a delegation. We have to congratulate the new monarch. The rest will figure out the identity of the new monarch, including all their information. We need to know how to deal with the new monarch."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
...
Greenwood Kingdom.
The king of this kingdom was much more relaxed. He had gotten all the necessary information from Livia.
As Noel’s disciple and the Dean of the Rune Academy, she had been aware of the situation through Noel.
"To think that the third princess becos a queen... this is unexpected. She changes from a doll princess to a ruthless queen in a single night.
"We have underestimated this princess the whole ti. We have investigated other princes and princesses, but we have little information about her."
The king squinted his eyes. They truly had underestimated her, thinking she was nothing but a doll.
The pri minister nodded. "The current queen might be a queen that no one has ever seen before. There aren’t many people who can tolerate all that suffering without showing any weakness.
"We have to monitor her movent instead. While it’s true she’s extraordinary, we don’t know if she has the talent for governing the kingdom.
"If she has, the Muivell Kingdom will rise one more ti." The king turned to Raincart.
"No..." Raincart looked away, knowing what the king wanted.
"We have done a lot for you, Raincart." The king’s expression turned solemn. They had indeed done a lot for him. Sotis, they even cooperated with Noel because of it.
And it looked like the king wanted to use that favor to get sothing as well.
"Your Majesty..." Raincart frowned. He didn’t want to do it.
"We don’t ask much. I just want you to visit your grandson. We will be the ones making our move, not you. I just want you to be there to be the figurehead.
"Besides, our intention is not to make the Ardagan family our enemy. We just want to enter the Muivell Kingdom undetected to find information about the new queen."
"It doesn’t justify the action even with my status as his grandfather." Raincart shook his head. "Hasn’t he repaid you to a certain extent by using that Spirit Awakening Pill?"
"In that case, you ask him there. What he wants. We will grant him one of his requests as a repaynt."
Raincart clicked his tongue. He contemplated for a minute before saying, "Let send a letter first."
