Chapter 104 The Sympathy of the Arrogant
"Your Highness Princess...what do you want to do?"
The man in gray robe asked this question. The eldest princess had finished her morning work and returned to her bedroom. She was initially preparing to do her afternoon work.
It has to be said that if an emperor is motivated enough... or in other words, if he does not spread his power.
Even if all the subordinate officials are arrested...
Then you really don’t have much time to do what you want to do.
Time is like water in a sponge. If you squeeze it out, it will always be there. If you can't squeeze it out, squeeze it out. If you can't squeeze out the water, squeeze it out...
But the fate of sponge can also be imagined.
"We didn't know you hated the Holy See so much."
The man in gray robe said so.
The eldest princess does not know what organization the other party represents, nor what secret sect is behind the other party, but it is obvious...
He was not the only one waiting for her answer now.
"As I said, in the melt, there are creatures from the abyss disguised as the Northland Church, murdering the people of the kingdom... Do you think I'm joking?"
The eldest princess said unhurriedly. She had already put on her more men's style clothes, and she looked very comfortable.
And her words, if they are fake, can only make people feel her sarcasm. Generally speaking, no one will believe it...
"Oh oh oh, it turns out what you said is true...then it's okay."
A woman in black robe who also covered her face made a dull voice, walked out of the shadows, scratched her head and said: "Then I won't disturb you, let's go first~"
After that, he was ready to jump out from the window.
Princess: "???"
Other Esoteric Cults: “???”
"Come back here!"
A voice came from the shadows, shouting angrily and pulling the naturally stupid woman back to the shadow world, cursing: "[One Touch] Aren't there any normal people?"
Afterwards, the palace returned to silence.
"..."
"..."
In the awkward silence, the gray-robed man, who was the representative of all the Tantric Cults, said nonchalantly: "I think we should continue the previous topic."
But the eldest princess shook her head. Her attitude on this matter was very firm: "I don't think it is necessary for me to answer your doubts..."
"I am the regent. I don't have to ask your opinion on everything."
As the eldest princess spoke, she unfolded and flattened the piles of sheepskin scrolls. She seemed a little troubled by the countless government affairs to be dealt with.
There is nothing wrong with this. After all, the eldest princess is just their partner, not their subordinate.
"At least... tell us what you think."
In these words, the eldest princess was silent for a moment, and then simply explained: "I want to move the capital... Before moving the capital, I will deal with the issues that are easier to deal with first, and I can't do it on behalf of the royal family."
The latter is quite reasonable...
Anyone can take the initiative to attack the Holy See, whether they are nobles or other secret sects, but the power of the royal family of the kingdom cannot.
At least on the surface, the Holy See is still the state religion of the kingdom.
but……
Move the capital? !
…
For the Violet Kingdom, moving the capital is not as simple as letting the eldest princess live in another city.
Power, resources, and focus will all change.
Not to mention the attitudes of other countries, even within the Violet Kingdom, there will be a major reshuffle of forces due to distance.
Take the current European city as an example...
Ounei City is naturally a very well-developed city in the Violet Kingdom... After all, it is a royal city, and it has a lot of reputation.
However, a circle of cities around Ounei City also enjoyed similar treatment, and together they formed the core urban area of the kingdom.
The nobles in charge of those cities, whether they are nobles or subordinate cities, can naturally benefit.
After moving the capital, these benefits will disappear...
Other cities will become new beneficiaries.
"..."
It's complicated to say, but members of these secret cults don't need to think about it... they are not very interested in the situation in the kingdom.
After all, the headquarters of most esoteric cults are not in the kingdom.
Some are not even on the home plane.
The eldest princess is now the one in charge of the kingdom, and she must have considered all aspects before making such a decision.
"Moving north?"
The man in gray robe asked casually... In this case, he didn't have much to say. Since he was going to move there, he must clean up the fleas in advance.
The eldest princess looked at him helplessly.
"To the south...as far south and as far west as possible."
The eldest princess who said this dipped her quill in the map and drew it in a circle.
In the southwest of the map, surrounded by quill ink, is the name of a city by the sea.
"娧义(yi·fourth tone) city."
The eldest princess seemed to have a very clear idea. She said: "First deal with the chaos in the north. Once things are a little more stable, we will immediately start preparations to move the capital... and make Yaoyi the new royal capital."
There is no precedent for this kind of thing in the Violet Kingdom.
Therefore, the man in gray robe simply asked: "Can you tell me what you think? What are the benefits to you?"
"..."
Although she was speechless at the attitude of these sects [who knew nothing but wanted to ask everything], the eldest princess could only shake her head helplessly.
"There are many reasons..."
Like a persuasive teacher, the eldest princess responded calmly: "First of all, the melting in the south has almost ended, and it has not caused much turmoil. However, the melting in the north is still continuing and getting more intense, and there will be chaos soon."
Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages... is not just personal pursuit of advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
During this period, the reports from the knights who collected intelligence revealed a problem...a big problem.
The nobles began to use their crooked ideas, some demons occupied the city and became kings, and there were even other countries making small moves behind the scenes.
The refugees who fled could not find a city that could take them in, and dead bodies gradually began to appear on the originally clean official roads.
The foundation is starting to become unstable.
The prosperous scene near the royal city has gradually turned into a castle in the air, which may collapse at any time...
This winter, these accumulated events may explode.
"Secondly, I decided to accept all those who escaped from the Theocracy, those who were belittled in the new holy book, the so-called [foreign races], and settled them in the northern part of the kingdom."
The eldest princess's words now are different from those before, so... a voice of joy came from the shadows: "Meow meow cat?!"
In response, the eldest princess nodded, indicating that she was serious.
"Also, here...my brother's influence is too deep-rooted, and I don't have anyone I can use...you should also know this."
"If I want to be emperor, I must cultivate and develop my people from scratch. I have been doing this, but the effect is minimal."
"Then...I will make preparations for both things at the same time."
The eldest princess was already working on the parchment as she spoke: "The main focus is on the new capital. Before moving the capital... first show some kindness to the north, and use the power to spread some free chess."
In other words, she was just trying to show her good will, and then waited for those people to develop into important nobles who could support her in becoming emperor.
It's the same as taking a second-level exam and waiting for the school to upgrade to a first-level exam.
But...it's said that it is to exert [some] favors and arrange [some] idle chess.
"But in fact, your [Xianqi], so far, is only the daughter of Count Seth... Do you have much confidence in her?"
In response to the other party's question, the eldest princess was stunned, with a trace of confusion in her eyes: "Count Seth's daughter? Who?"
In the next second, she realized...the [Daughter of Earl Seth] the other party mentioned was referring to the white human next to Bel Xi.
(Sebelia White Human:???)
"Her? Maybe...but I prefer to believe that the young dragon named Belxi can bring me a surprise."
"..."
After working on it for a long time, you didn’t even remember the identity of Sebubeliya Seth?
The man in gray robe couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but what the eldest princess said also surprised him: "Belxi... that's a foreign race... and an abyssal species."
As soon as these words came out, many people hidden in the shadows began to protest——
"Do you have any opinion on us abyssal species?"
"You look down on dragons, don't you? I'll eat you in one bite!"
"What's wrong with you, a foreign race? In my opinion, you humans are still foreign races!"
"..."
"Hmph~"
The eldest princess chuckled. Her mood seemed to have improved a little and she said, "But you need to admit...he (Belshe) is indeed very interesting."
…
Just imagine when you are hiding and testing other people's ideas, preparing to seize power in a sneaky way.
A little cutie suddenly rushed out, gave a thumbs up, and shouted cheerfully: "Okay! Revolt immediately! Make a big one!"
While I couldn't help but be surprised, it was also really interesting.
"Just like Bel Xiqing said."
The eldest princess held her chin up and dipped the empty quill into ink. She looked serious and elegant——
"Whether one can look up to others has nothing to do with race, age, gender, or identity... This is not a compliment to me, he really thinks so."
Saying this, the eldest princess glanced around and shook her head: "This is an incompatible arrogance... but he and I are the same kind of people."
To be precise, the two are somewhat similar.
…
Of course, from the perspective of an onlooker, rather than saying that Belsi looks like the eldest princess, it would be better to say...the eldest princess is the one who "resembles" her.
Her Royal Highness the Princess can indeed see that the [madness] that belongs to Bel Xi in her heart is similar to that of Semu Nananashima...
In fact, she is also very crazy, so she feels happy that there is finally someone in the world who can understand her.
But she obviously misunderstood one thing——
…
You want me to behave? Sorry, only the rules we agree on are the rules.
Have you been doing things according to the rules? Shouldn't we kill you? I'm sorry...what does it have to do with you if I kill you?
Am I out of place? No no no...
It must be all the world’s fault!
…
In fact, this is no longer the category of [arrogance], and when their will can be truly transmitted, then they are what is called...
