Chapter 713: Journey to the Olyana Kingdom
Chapter 713: Journey to the Olyana Kingdom
The anger of the Midgar King was uncontrollable, and the nobles felt that Princess Alice's attitude towards them was not very friendly. At this moment, they all chose to side with the King.
However, the facts proved that even if the King and the nobles were in rare agreement at this moment, the result was still useless.
Because, as Alice said, the Midgar Kingdom's officials and ministers were incompetent, and except for their ability to enjoy, they were almost useless.
But at this moment, under Alice's speech, she pushed all the nobles to the King's side. However, the soldiers and knights stood on Alice's side.
No matter what she did, Alice took the lead, and she had extremely high prestige in the army.
Moreover, with her approachable and genius reputation, Alice's popularity among the commoners was far superior to that of King Midgar.
Therefore, this father-daughter power struggle ended almost as soon as it began, and Alice directly welcomed a crushing victory.
King Midgar, at this moment, realized that he had been so unsuccessful all this time.
Alice just wanted to change Midgar and wasn't really greedy for power, so she naturally didn't do anything to her father.
Therefore, after discussing with Alexa, King Midgar was arranged to live in a luxurious mansion, enjoying a life of feasting and drinking every day.
Since the King enjoys feasting, let him enjoy it to the fullest. Alice took on Midgar's burden.
After becoming the new King, Alice immediately began a major reform of Midgar.
The originally large group of nobles who had never dined together were all dispatched to the countryside by Alice without mercy.
And by punishing these corrupt nobles' wealth, all of it was used to expand the Knights Order and cultivate Mage Swordsmen.
The current "Midgar Mage Swordsmen Academy" allows direct enrollment into the Knights Order as long as the graduation results reach a certain standard.
And to cultivate talent, Alice even funded the establishment of a Mage Swordsmen Academy that commoners could attend.
Establish a secret intelligence agency responsible for collecting and analyzing the Ancient Artifacts previously used by the Diaboloros Sect.
Establish a secret intelligence agency responsible for collecting information related to the Diaboloros Sect and the Shadow Courtyard.
Alice's original position as the Crimson Knight Commander is now held by Gais Omega.
Gais was promoted again by Alice from his original position as Marquis to Duke, and was granted a larger territory. He was also given a luxurious mansion in the capital.
The original Omega territory, Alice promised, would permanently belong to the Omega family, and the Night City·Omega title was directly raised to Viscount and concurrently held the position of "Court Knight Commander."
It must be said that Alice's series of operations significantly improved the overall combat strength of the Midgar Kingdom in an instant.
Even Alpha, after seeing the related intelligence, couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems I underestimated this Princess a little. After going through all this, it has allowed her to grow quite a bit."
"Hmph, it's all thanks to the grace of the Shadow Lord. Did she think that by keeping the Shadow Lord's parents in the capital and granting the Shadow Lord the title of Viscount would make the Shadow Lord change his mind?"
Gamma, on the other hand, was somewhat unimpressed with Alice's methods and felt that the Midgar Kingdom didn't know good from bad and had completely brought this situation upon themselves.
"What's the situation with Lord Shadow and Lord Nocturne?" Alpha asked, setting aside the recent intelligence report on Midgar and turning to Gamma.
"Lord Shadow has already set off for the Kingdom of Oliana after obtaining the Rose Ring. I believe he'll soon make contact with the so-called 'Black Rose,' and Epsilon is already there to support him."
As for Lord Nocturne, after hearing about the 'Black Rose,' he seems to have taken a keen interest in the Demon King and the Demon Realm, so..."
Previously, when Yecheng was heading to the Kingdom of Oliana, they specifically instructed Alpha and the others not to let Lord Nocturne, that troublemaker, get involved.
After all, the mission was already challenging, and with Lord Nocturne's involvement, the difficulty would skyrocket to hellish levels.
Alpha and the others were well aware of Lord Shadow and Lord Nocturne's poor adaptability, so they had been keeping the secret.
But who would have thought that a mere lackey of the Diabloros Sect would foolishly cross paths with Lord Nocturne and directly hand over the intelligence?
Upon learning about the intriguing Demon King and the Demon Realm, Lord Nocturne naturally wouldn't pass up the opportunity.
As his subordinates, they couldn't stop or interfere with Lord Nocturne's actions. If they angered him, the consequences would be dire.
Hearing that Lord Nocturne had followed Yecheng to the Kingdom of Oliana, Alpha couldn't help but cover her face with her hand. But soon, she sighed, "Forget it. With Lord Shadow's abilities, he should be able to handle any situation.
What about Modred? Has he obtained any intelligence related to the Sect or the 'Black Rose'?"
In response to Alpha's question, Gamma presented another report, "According to the information extracted from Lambda, the so-called 'Black Rose' is actually a portal to another world.
Beyond the world we currently inhabit, there exist countless other worlds revolving around this one.
The Diabloros Sect refers to these external worlds as the 'Demon Realm.'"
"The Kingdom of Oliana was once invaded by a hundred thousand troops from the enemy nation of Bekada, who reached the capital. In their moment of peril, the Kingdom of Oliana accidentally opened a portal to the Demon Realm.
As a result, the entire Bekada army was annihilated, but the Kingdom of Oliana was reduced to ruins.
Since the portal wasn't closed, countless demons poured out. Eventually, the Diabloros Sect intervened and sealed the portal, but they didn't do it out of goodwill. Instead, they struck a deal with the Kingdom of Oliana.
That deal involved the royal bloodline, specifically Princess Roz herself."
Upon hearing Gamma's report, Alpha furrowed her brows.
She hadn't expected the seemingly harmless King of Oliana to have concealed so much.
The agreement between the Royal Family of Oliana and the Sect implied that the King was already aware of who was behind the attacks and manipulation of Dameim. He had simply chosen to remain silent.
The previous Royal Family of Oliana had made a deal with the Sect to protect their kingdom, even at the cost of their descendants' bloodline.
Now that the Sect wanted to reclaim the royal bloodline, the old king was reluctant to give up his daughter. Seeing that Yecheng possessed strength comparable to the 'Three Heroes,' he made that decision.
"Damn old fox! These kings are never simple! Send this intelligence to Lord Shadow immediately, and let him decide what to do next."
