Chapter 62: Prelude I

Although the sign of 'store is about to sell, clearance sale, 7% off the whole site' is very dramatic, but this is only for Serena, as long as you can't help but look at it when you pass by.

The sign hung outside the door for two days, and the warehouse was almost empty.

But when the maid saw the thoughtful expressions on the faces of some of the merchants passing by, she felt that she might have pushed the commercial development of this world down another path.

In the morning, when she went out to buy groceries, she found that a certain jewelry store had hung a wooden sign that said "Celebrate the boss's birthday, the whole audience is nine-fold", which made her gasp, these businessmen's learning ability is really terrifying, now celebrating the boss's birthday, in a few years will probably celebrate such and such a holiday, celebrate the birthday of a great emperor or king, she has no doubt that those businessmen's urine will not be able to do such a thing.

His Majesty had already invited them once yesterday to see the royal garden.

Of course, they won't do such a boring thing, so they just shirk the business and the industry have not been dealt with yet, and they don't have that leisure for the time being.

Of course, this is all said by the maid, and if it were Cervantes, he would probably say "boring, don't go".

Because she felt that it would make Krylov III lose face, the maid euphemistically said, "They don't have time", although this may make Krylov III feel something annoying, but she doesn't care if the expressive megalomaniac will have any suspicions. Anyway, from the beginning to the end, she didn't plan to use the sad wind collar as a bargaining chip to put on which side.

It is okay to say that it is to be sold at a price, it is okay to say that it is a grass on the wall, of course, it is difficult to say, and it is not a problem to say that it is capricious and capricious, anyway, this is a problem at the political level, isn't it common sense that politicians are despicable and shameless?

The last time he met Krylov III, Cervantes did not directly agree to His Majesty's request, he only said that he would attend that meeting, and he did not know what made Krylov III think that Cervantes had agreed to deal with the local nobles with the royal family.

Cervantes's statement is ambiguous, and it can be assumed that he has agreed, but in fact he has not explicitly agreed!

The black dragon is just a bit of a two, and he is not really stupid, I really don't know how His Majesty the King saw that Cervantes really agreed to deal with the local faction with him.

Did he really think that his charisma was strong enough to influence a greedy five-colored dragon?

Maybe it's acting, maybe it's clumsy, but all the conclusions that can be drawn from the maid so far are 'described' by Krylov III as a very expressive megalomaniac.

Unlike his 'mediocre' father, Krylov III had the ambition to regain royal power from the nobility.

Since the death of his grandfather, Angelus II, due to an accidental magic experiment, his young father has been taken into the Tempest Realm, and the titular king of the kingdom was still his father, but in reality power was in the hands of the nobles, who also established a 'Supreme Council' in order to govern the kingdom, following the example of the Arcane Empire.

The Arcane Empire does not have an Emperor, but only a 'Supreme Council', and the consuls in the council are the representatives of the Grand Arcanists, and each Archon represents a Grand Arcanist.

Of course, the 'Supreme Council' of the Kingdom of Korot is not that system, otherwise the people of the Church would think that they intend to restore the Arcane Age.

In fact, the 'Supreme Council' is just a title—at least that's how the nobles interpret it to the Church—to govern the leaderless kingdom of Kolo, otherwise there might be a war between the lords for the throne.

It was also since then that many, many powers of the king have been taken away from him.

The previous king, Andrei IV, had a hard time, and although he seemed to have lived a mediocre life, even when he died of illness, only epitaphs such as 'A benevolent and good king' were left on the tombstone.

It has been almost ten years since Krylov III succeeded to the throne, and the kingdom of Kolo has not rejuvenated, and the major territories should be what they should be, Greenland is still 'rotting', only the royal family!

After the royal family of Rezel succeeded to the throne, the nobles did not dare to move because of the power of the old duke, known as the 'Holy One'.

Because Molly Grestal, who was on the side, became 'Molly Scream' and gave birth to a child called 'Edith Sorrow', no nobleman dared to make a fuss at that time.

The situation is very different now, to be precise, not long after the bishops were diagnosed with the death of the old duke, these nobles have already begun to plan something.

It is not easy for someone to be a king, let alone someone who can sit in that position for more than ten years.

Andrei IV paved the way for Krylov III a long time ago, but unfortunately Krylov III did not follow the path his father prepared for him, and the old duke did not live so long.

Andre IV married the innocent, kind and indecisive 'Molly Greyster' to the old duke, so that the old duke could have a good excuse at the last minute to keep the blood of the Razel family and not let the blood of the Razel family be severed.

Because Andrei IV had only one son, Krylov III, he was well aware of his son's character, so he found a way out for him from the beginning.

Edith is fourteen years old, and Krylov III succeeded to the throne ten years ago as king of the kingdom of Kolo, while Lady Molly had already married the old duke sixteen years earlier.

The maid and Cervantes certainly won't cut off the royal bloodline, but until then, they won't gamble on the character of Krylov III with the future of the Sadder - in fact, Krylov III didn't have the slightest sincerity in the face of them, like a real 'king', not like a mage at all!

He was full of joy and played with politics, but unfortunately they were the only ones who played with him, like a poor isolated child, but he was still immersed in his own world, and he was so happy because of this 'toy'.

Maybe that's a bit of an overkill, but it's true!

'If only Krylov III had come to his senses in time......,' thought Serena,' thought Serena.

They have been clearly alienating Krylov III in the past two days, and they don't know when he will wake up and stop being immersed in his own world.

If he can come to his senses and stop being so arrogant, maybe there will be a conversation between him and them, and even let the Sad Wind Leader clearly stand on his side, it will not be a big problem.

The time for the meeting is five days away!

In about five days, Krylov III was going to have a showdown with the nobles, and they were still watching from the sidelines, probably because they gave Krylov III courage? But even without them, Krylov III was going to have a showdown with the nobles, right? But it would have been more tactful then.

There are also two legends in the Kolo Kingdom, one is a royalist and the other is a local faction, so the nobles with real power do not dare to act so recklessly.

In addition to the constraints of the oath, there is also a guarantee of strength, otherwise the nobles with real power only need to find a reason at will, such as colluding with demons or devils, killing the Razel family to the last woman, and then electing the last bloodline of the Razel family as the queen, and then they themselves 'decide' which family will become the future royal family of the Kolo Kingdom.

They must have thought of such a simple method, but due to various obstacles, they couldn't do it.

Don't think that the nobles of this world are so benevolent, the nobles who will open the granary to distribute disaster relief food in the year of famine are already great good people, and there are many people who let the commoners starve to death, but they are still at home with a sumptuous dinner.

This is true not only of the Kingdom of Kolo, but of many countries!

Neither the nobles nor the king were good people, so the maid did not intend to mix in this matter.

She'll keep a good eye on Cervantes and won't let that stupid dragon say anything she didn't plan to say!

Even if it's just a sentence!
