"Yes, of course. In fact, there have been many famous queens who have ruled over the Shura Race in the past. For example, Princess Layla's mother, the former queen, is one," Valeria replied with hints of pride in her tone.
"I see. I just thought that the royal family was strictly patriarchal in nature," Rocky said.
"As a matter of fact, Leader Gilbert is actually known to have a good relationship with Princess Layla. He could even be considered as her supporter. Thus, in my opinion, the true reason behind his assassination attempt is because he is supporting Princess Layla." Instead of Gilbert being a candidate for the throne, Valeria thought that this was the more logical reason.
"All right. For now, we can just agree that it has something to do with the selection of the successor." Rocky and Valeria finally came up with the conclusion.
"Anyway, I just think that we can look at this incident from a different perspective. Maybe, this might be a good chance for you." Valeria vaguely expressed her idea.

"Then, what's the plan?" Hearing what Rocky said, Eunice knew that he wouldn't just do nothing. Of course, she also wanted to do something because the human race was involved in this.
"It seems that I would have to act as Basil again. But first, I need to make more preparations," Rocky said after thinking for a while.
