Chapter 186: King Choice

Four days have passed by, and dramatic changes have occurred throughout the continents power structure and function.

With immediate action of three Emperors and their loyal subordinates.

The entire noble faction of the three empires was left shocked and awed. It was the first time in ten thousand years that there had been such a change in the politics of the continent.

Nobles from various parts of the continent were interrogated every day, and evidence of their corruption and ill practices were dug out and placed before the public.

Those who wanted to secretly rebel were not even given any chance to do so.

This generation of nobles and officers were the first once in a thousand years to witness the true power of three imperial families and why they are ruling the continent for tens of thousands of years without anyone daring to rebel against their authority.

Among the three empires, the first one to get rid of all the corrupted nobles and officials was the Radiant Empire with Emperor Josif taking the lead and publicly beheading the nobles and announcing their evil deeds before the citizens.

The next was Emperor Harold who was still busy digging out the loyal followers of Duke Dragos and Duke Santon and secretly silencing them, one by one in the dark.

On the other hand, Empress Ersa was the one who is still in the process of verification of the evidence given by Kai.

The problem was not Duke Raleigh influence; instead, it was that the Vanlune family had deep roots and connections, which is causing her trouble to verify the information on them.

Yet, the problem was solved two days ago. Due to some unknown reason, the Head of Vanlune family herself came to apologize as well as assure her that it will not happen again and will cooperate with the investigation from their side.

Judging from her anxious expression and dark circles under her eyes; she had not slept for many days and was in a hurry to go somewhere to meet her.

Yesterday, she was informed that the Head of Vanlune family had left for the capital city and was on her way to the Buraford Kingdom.

[Oman Empire]

Ersa sat beside the bed on which San Di was sleeping peacefully with a tranquil expression on her face as she looked at the old man.

Yesterday, the cure of life shivering poison was delivered to the imperial palace by the branch manager of Fastasia group shop in secret with an excuse of meeting her for business purposes.

She was quite shocked that the manager had come to deliver the cure instead of the Saintess.

She was informed that Saintess is currently in Utopia City and is busy with her personal work. So, the cure was sent through the link of Fastasia group and was ordered by Goldmaster Sara, not to leak any information about it.

After she got hold of the potion and San Di drank it, he had slowly started to recover from the effect of the poison; his grey hair had begun to turn black again slowly and the dark spots under his eyes, which were caused due to improper sleep, had disappeared. But still, it will take two to three days for him to recover fully.

After waiting for some time, Ersa stood up and left the room, heading towards the imperial palace.

She still had many things to take care of and had to stabilize the political turmoil caused by the death of Duke Raleigh.

As she was walking towards the imperial palace, a thin smile appeared on her face.

'I should thank Yami Grandson for giving me the opportunity to uproot these corrupted officials and nobles. Still, why was she in such a hurry to go to the Buraford Kingdom?'

As the Empress of Oman Empire, she is well aware that Vanlune family is not a simple family and had a deep background and hidden strength. Still, she didn't know that they were also part of Blood Trinity and unknown Golden Star-Cross organization.

'I will just have to ask her later, or maybe I will get the answers during the crowning ceremony of the New King.' thought Ersa.

[Romand Kingdom, Royal Palace, Throne Room]

King of the Romand Kingdom, Pierce Romand was sitting on the throne with an anxious expression on his face as he read the letter in his hand.

'Why? Why did you make such a decision and decided to become subordinate under the king of Buraford Kingdom? Even if you wanted to become ruler of Romand Kingdom in future with the help of Buraford Kingdom, Nobles and officials would be against it. You will be nothing but a puppet ruler in the eyes of the citizens of Romand Kingdom and who will believe that the magic beasts are taking orders from the king of the Buraford Kingdom. Beasts are just mindless creatures with any ability to kill and eat. Could he really stop the attack of the magic beast from happening again if you work under him? I refuse to buy this nonsense.'

No matter how many times he read the letter, he wasn't able to accept the decision of his daughter and was about to tear apart the letter into many pieces. When the army general of the Romand Kingdom, Logos entered the empty throne room in a hurry and kneeled with a joyful expression on his face.

"Your majesty, I have just received a report from the eastern command officials that all of a sudden, magic beasts have started to withdraw from the eastern boundary."

"Ah..."

Pierce was shocked and reread the letter which he was about to tear apart.

'It can't be? That guy can control the magic beast! Now I get why the magic beast tide has not affected the Buraford Kingdom and the Alfrine Kingdom which a few days ago fully became part of the Buraford Kingdom.'

He still was not able to figure out; what kind of logical thinking was going on inside the head of Alfrine Kingdom King, Nobles and the Officials to take such a dramatic decision within months. What did the Buraford Kingdom offer in exchange?

How can a king disintegrate his own kingdom with five thousand years of history and integrate it with another one? This is so illogical and the behaviour of turning your back to your ancestors who founded the kingdom after so many sacrifices and battles.

How can you serve under another king? Where is your self-esteem as a king? Are you accountable to your followers? What about the opinion of the public? In normal circumstances, two kingdoms can only be unified after the king wins the war and conquers others territory.

King Pierce shook his head and looked at Logas.

"You can leave."

Logas stood up and left the throne room. King Pierce studied the entire content of the letter carefully without missing a single word with a serious expression.
