1181: Chapter 660: The Crown Princess’s Overinterpretation_2 1181: Chapter 660: The Crown Princess’s Overinterpretation_2 This royal decree arrived much later than Gaven had anticipated.
It wasn’t until the tenth day after the battle for Lady Strategy’s Ascension ended and the initial outline of the City of Faith was visible that it finally ca tardily.
“Your Majesty, Princess, I didn’t expect us to et again so soon.” The one who brought the royal decree was none other than Tainalasta, Crown Princess of the Koer Kingdom.
Gaven was not surprised, for the interests involved behind this matter were simply too great, touching upon too many people’s benefits, and the more the matter was delegated to others, the greater the chances of various accidents occurring.
This ti the resistance ca not just from outside the Koer Kingdom, but also from within, and it was considerable.
There were not one or two people eyeing the position of Rockland Duke; if it were rely Rockland itself, it wouldn’t be of such great value, but in recent years, the Koer Kingdom had just swallowed Tivandun and the surrounding Red Spring Reclamation Area, which significantly elevated its value.
Not to ntion other aspects, Tivandun alone holds imnse comrcial value as it is connected to the Moon Sea Road, High Road, Northern Horse Path, and other series of comrcial lifelines.
Given ti, it will beco the second Arabey, transforming into the second significant land-based comrcial city of the Koer Kingdom.
As for ennobling Gaven as Rockland Duke, that is the most beneficial choice for the entire Koer Kingdom, an argunt only convincing to the Obysque Royal Family, but failing to persuade other noble families within Koer.
In their eyes, that’s a matter for the Obisceal Royal Family to consider – placing their own and their family’s interests far above those of the Kingdom.
Where there is selfishness, such affairs are inevitable.
Even the Conqueror Army, as their power expanded and strength grew, was starting to experience slow faction divisions.
However, since their composition was quite mixed, these factions leaned towards racial interests.
Currently, these factions are just budding and relatively impartial, not out of personal desires but rather striving to gain greater benefits for their own race, to help their race develop and prosper within the Conqueror’s force.
This promotes racial prosperity driven by selfishness.
But as ti goes by, personal desires often beco entangled and many things beco distorted.
Gaven could only double down on supervision and oversight; everything else was beyond his control.
This is an inevitable trend for the growth of a force.
All Gods have their selfishness, let alone mortals.
In such circumstances, the Crown Princess, who has had previous contact with Gaven and reached certain consensus, is undoubtedly the most suitable person to send a clear signal to the public about the Obysque Royal Family’s seriousness regarding this matter.
“General Sir, you are now our most honored guest in Koer.
To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I will personally accompany you to Susar to et with His Majesty King Yasan,” said Crown Princess Tainalasta with a beautiful smile, “His Majesty allows you to bring along ten ard guards and no more than one hundred rchants and travelers.”
She volunteered for this mission, having sowhat underestimated the internal inefficiency in the Koer Kingdom.
This choice, obviously extrely favorable to the Koer, ets with unimaginable resistance internally.
A re agreent to allow Gaven to travel to Susar to et King Yasan took the royal nobility an entire ten days to discuss.
The usually wise King Yasan’s attitude on this matter was sowhat baffling to her.
Though he didn’t clearly side with the nobility, he also didn’t fully support her, making the plan’s advancent especially difficult.
Although her interactions with Gaven were brief, just in ten days, it was enough ti for her to peel him inside out, thoroughly understanding a person not only through face-to-face etings but also by observing his actions.
Therefore, compared to ten days ago, Tainalasta now has a clearer understanding of the young man before her.
She won’t be fooled by his youthful appearance.
He has cunning and shrewdness not matching his age; his sches are closely linked like the Goddess of Strategy he venerates, revealing a style deeply ingrained, not only in martial tactics but also in strategizing situations.
His ambition to obtain the title of Rockland Duke didn’t start now, but from the beginning of this year, as he departed Thacel to co to the Rocklands.
If one were to analyze his actions separately, many would indeed seem baffling, such as abandoning the easy life of Baron Thacel to venture north alone with a Goblin Sorcerer to develop new lands, leaving the entire Nort Family wealth in the hands of Captain Zalanda.
It’s clear to the discerning eye that his brother Rogan died by his hand; his thods then seed brutally simplistic, as if just seeking a pretext to head north.
But in hindsight, that was the beginning of his plan.
Without his departure, there would not have been Zalanda’s rise, nor the seed of indebtedness planted in Zalanda’s heart, which wouldn’t have led to his subsequent cooperation in extensive propaganda and mobilization.
Even if Gaven could organize so migrants by his ability, the Conqueror’s force wouldn’t have the montum it has now without it.
