Chapter 929: Chapter 840: It’s Okay, You Can Marry Again Later
Walking on the road of the Royal Palace, Shane and Cappelen chatted a lot besides just wandering around.
Specifically, the changes in the Empire.
After the Moro coup incident, the Empire underwent many changes.
For example, the downfall of the Lefirut Family, which was previously being investigated by the Empire’s authorities, was unilaterally suppressed by Harvis. The glorious history of the Lefirut Family beca a thing of the past, and their base was flattened and transford into a garden. It can be said that the ancestors of the Lefirut Family cannot rest in peace.
The Renitra Family shares a similar fate with the Lefirut Family.
With Sarilo’s defection, the Renitra Family was cented as traitors, leading to their title being stripped, and their family was confiscated. All relatives and subordinates directly related to Sarilo were arrested, with none left out, and are likely to spend the rest of their lives in prison now.
Of course, those Moro Sect supporters who once spread rumors about Harvis and Rocque were also held accountable. Except for a few who saw the adverse situation and imdiately surrendered to Harvis, the remaining nobles had their titles stripped, were marginalized, or were exiled to the frontier, never to return to the Imperial City or the center of the Empire’s power.
It can be said that Harvis, as a new official, burned with three fires. He was decisive and ruthless, sending all those who opposed him to hell, never to rise again.
Replacing them were Harvis and Cappelen’s trusted confidants, promoted into power.
In other words, the Empire’s power is now entirely in the hands of Harvis and Cappelen, forged into an unbreakable unity.
Although Sarilo’s defection took away part of the Imperial Knight Order’s strength, reducing the Empire’s overall military power and losing a top Legendary level powerhouse, the Empire is now even harder to infiltrate and contend with compared to the previous state of internal unrest.
Moreover, Harvis and Cappelen are vigorously reforming, cultivating new nobles, new forces, and new military strength. The Empire is now thriving, with the previously half-destroyed Imperial City being rebuilt to be more grand and magnificent.
In this situation, the foolish king was overthrown, and Harvis and Cappelen’s mother awoke from a long coma. The Imperial people do not feel disappointed or uneasy about the current Empire; on the contrary, they are full of expectations.
This ans that the Imperial people see a brighter future in the current Empire.
Many people can even imagine that in a few years, the Empire will not only return to its peak but also go further.
Harvis and Cappelen also have high hopes for such an Empire, intending to develop it larger and stronger.
“Of course, we are already preparing to reconcile with the Kingdom, no longer engaging in aningless opposition.”
Cappelen told Shane this.
“The conflicts with the Kingdom will have a considerable impact on the Empire’s developnt, so my brother is ready to end this thousand-year-old confrontation and let the two countries reconcile and even cooperate.”
If such a thing can be accomplished, one can imagine the rapid developnt period the two most powerful Human race nations, the Mitra Kingdom and the Ragna Empire, will experience.
“This ti, our goal in coming to the Royal Capital is to participate in the Three Clans Conference and to reconcile and negotiate with the Kingdom.”
Cappelen stated.
Right now, Harvis and Rocque are over there with Anxi, having a conversation.
“Emperor Anxi seems to be sowhat interested, but he doesn’t appear to intend to make it happen, and it’s unclear what he’s thinking.”
Cappelen seed a bit worried that the negotiations might fail.
Shane, however, smiled.
“Don’t worry,” Shane said to Cappelen. “If I’m not mistaken, the King is actually in favor of this matter but just doesn’t plan to accomplish it himself.”
“Doesn’t plan to accomplish it himself?” Cappelen was first stunned, then seed to understand sothing, her heart moved, and she said, “Could it be that Emperor Anxi plans to let Princess Liyadella accomplish this?”
Cappelen’s political instincts were quite sharp, quickly guessing the reason.
“That’s right.” Shane nodded, smiling. “He originally intended to pass the throne to Liya, and now he’s looking for various ways to let Liya take on so queenly duties, achieve so results, and pave the way for her ascension.”
In simple terms, it’s about creating montum.
Hastily passing on the throne and having Liya create so achievents beforehand, then letting her ascend, the results will be entirely different.
The forr would cause the people of the Kingdom to instinctively feel uneasy, unsure if the new queen has the capability to inherit the throne and make the Kingdom better.
The latter would create the impression of a capable person rising to power, allowing the citizens to feel at ease rather than uneasy when Liya ascends and even feel expectant.
Just like Harvis’s ascent created a thriving atmosphere in the Empire. When capable people co to power, the people naturally feel joy and expectation.
Therefore, Anxi needs to build montum for Liya, allowing her to complete so achievents.
If reconciliation with the Empire and even cooperation can be achieved through Liya, her reputation will surely soar.
In this way, once the Kingdom and Empire cooperate, becoming more prosperous and stronger, people will always rember the wisdom of Queen Liyadella.
Moreover…
“After all, the Kingdom and Empire have been at odds for many years, and there must be many anti-imperial opposition factions within the Kingdom. If Anxi ignores their opinions and directly reconciles or cooperates with the Empire, they will certainly make trouble.”
Shane pointed this out.
“Conversely, if these things are done by Liya, even if they have ideas, they can’t directly oppose.”
Because they wouldn’t know if this is genuinely happening or if Anxi purposely handed over tasks he didn’t intend to complete to Liya as a way to let her taste failure and learn to be restrained and reflective.
At least, if they vocally opposed it, Anxi would use this reasoning as an excuse to suppress the voices of dissent.
Once Liya seals the deal, Anxi will surely pass down the throne imdiately.
By then, the die is cast, and it’s too late for the opposition to do anything.
If they still refuse to give up and try to stir trouble secretly, it will be considered as obstructing internal affairs and would be a capital offense.
In view of this…
“You shouldn’t talk to Anxi about this, but to Liya.”
Shane pointed Cappelen in the right direction.
“I understand.” Cappelen naturally had no reason to refuse and imdiately nodded, asserting, “I will tell my brother.”
And so, their conversation continued without a pause.
After discussing the Empire’s affairs, Cappelen started talking about her own matters.
For example, she has been granted a surna Lansfuer, becoming a newly appointed Imperial Duke. Her territory is in the Lansfuer domain, which borders the kingdom’s Duke Sterling’s domain, making it the closest Imperial land to the Kingdom.
Bestowing such a territory to Cappelen, who is a Princess, the Empire’s future stance is clear, undoubtedly set on a path closer to the Kingdom.
Why? Because Shane is a Kingdom Noble?
This is the fundantal reason why the Empire is no longer confronting the Kingdom.
“If you have the ti, co visit my territory.” Cappelen said to Shane: “I heard the Sterling Family targeted you before, and I’ve prepared several counterasures to make them suffer a bit. You can co and watch the show then.”
These words made Shane’s expression strange.
What’s even stranger is that the Princess’s topic beca more and more tricky.
Such as…
“Do you like seeing in Kingdom attire or Empire attire?”
“Have you thought about marrying more won in the future?”
“Do you mind if your future woman is from the Empire?”
“Not planning to remarry for now? Already have quite a few won around?”
“It’s okay, marrying later is fine, but I think you should consider having so children first…”
Like this, the Imperial Princess’s topic made Shane feel even more peculiar.
Especially, this girl wasn’t shy at all, after Shane let go of her shoulder, she hugged Shane’s arm, pressing her whole body against his upper arm, letting him feel the woman’s assets clearly.
And that’s not all.
What truly made Shane feel suffocated was that the woman not only hugged but made others hug too.
“Tilly, co on.”
Cappelen pulled Tilly, who was following behind, over, making her hug Shane’s other arm tightly and specially ordered her not to let go, making Tilly completely flustered.
“Wait… How did I…?”
Tilly looked at herself attached to Shane, then looked at her hand tightly holding Shane’s arm, and finally looked at the sky with a confused look, like a person under a bewildered tree picking bewildered fruits, bewildered alone.
But Cappelen wasn’t satisfied with just that.
“Next ti, don’t wear clothes underneath, hug tighter, press even more.”
The Princess quietly instructed.
“…”
Tilly was bewildered.
“…”
Shane was silent.
The three of them strolled around the Royal Palace for more than an hour, but throughout the last hour, Shane and Tilly hardly spoke, just looked bewilderedly at Cappelen, who kept talking about tricky topics, almost shattering their views.
However, this scene, witnessed by others, appeared to be sothing else entirely.
Many saw Shane and Cappelen, along with Tilly, squeezed together like a sandwich cookie, walking around, looking at each other in surprise, then whispering secretly.
It’s imaginable that today’s incident will surely spread throughout the Royal Palace.
Until…
“Troublemaker!”
A surprise voice rang out.
