CHAPTER 1145: CHAPTER 847: THEN DON’T MESS WITH ME

Needless to say, due to Solok’s influence in this turmoil, there are definitely people dissatisfied with the royal faction in the capital and kingdom.

It can only be said that after Solok was suppressed and Saint Nidor miraculously survived, this outcome was already predetermined.

"What about Redson Alleyman? Didn’t he come out to stop you?"

Reiger casually asked this question.

If that old Sword Saint had stepped out to restrain Saint Nidor, then, to say the least, it wouldn’t have been so easy and smooth for Saint Nidor to turn those people from the royal faction.

"That one did not appear." Saint Nidor truthfully replied, "He actually doesn’t care whether or not I ascend to the throne."

"After all, to be fair, I’m also a member of the royal family."

Redson’s true master was the king three generations prior, Hemulinp’s grandfather.

And Hemulinp and Saint Nidor’s father, the current Duke of the Codelion Family, are both grandsons of his master.

Thus, in Redson’s eyes, Saint Nidor is naturally a direct descendant of his former loyal master.

He protects the royal family, and Saint Nidor is also a part of it.

Therefore, in Redson’s view, Saint Nidor becoming king is something permissible.

The reason he publicly supports the royal faction is just due to his position, not because he genuinely opposes Saint Nidor’s succession to the throne.

In other words, even if he saw Saint Nidor’s actions, he would probably turn a blind eye.

Perhaps, he even appreciates Saint Nidor, like those from the royal faction who were persuaded, believing that it’s in the kingdom’s best interest for Saint Nidor to ascend to power.

"So, you really are going to become king."

Reiger looked at Saint Nidor for a while, then smiled.

"Should I congratulate you in advance?"

Upon hearing this, Saint Nidor seemed relieved.

"It seems that you don’t oppose me becoming king."

Saint Nidor’s smile suddenly became much more sincere.

"What?"

Yuri seemed not to grasp what was happening, standing there dazed.

Seeing this, Reiger straightforwardly explained to Yuri.

"Don’t be fooled by his indifferent words; in reality, he came here to see if we would support him."

"Even if he has secured enough votes to ensure the next throne is his, our opposition could still significantly impact him."

"Who can blame us with three Sword Saints and a strategic-level magician on our side, right?"

Reiger looked at Saint Nidor with a half-smile, making Saint Nidor smile wryly.

"Yes, this power is indeed terrifying, enough to incite a coup." Saint Nidor said sincerely, "I don’t want to face you as an enemy once I ascend the throne; it’s too terrifying and stressful for me."

Now, in the kingdom of Ginas, including Yuloli and Lilith, there are a total of eight Sword Saints and two strategic-level magicians.

Reiger’s side accounts for nearly half of them.

Especially Reiger, the kingdom’s strongest Sword Saint and possibly possessing magic beyond strategic level; either identity could directly overturn the entire kingdom if a rebellion is incited.

If the two Sword Saints under him and Yuri assist him, the formed power would undoubtedly surpass even Solok’s and his period.

Knowing this, Saint Nidor naturally had to confirm Reiger’s stance.

If he has no objection to him becoming king, that would be ideal.

But if he does have objections, Saint Nidor needs to be mentally prepared in advance.

This was perhaps the real purpose of his visit.

"Since things have come to this point, Monsieur Brilliant, may I confirm once again?"

Saint Nidor for the first time restrained his smile, looking directly at Reiger.

"Will you become my enemy?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the reception room changed.

It became both heavy and oppressive.

Reiger and Saint Nidor stared at each other, neither speaking.

Yuri and Marilyn instinctively held their breath.

Dihart moved for the first time, quietly gripping the hilt of the greatsword behind his back.

But, as he grasped the hilt, a cold killing intent and malice locked onto him, making his whole body tense and his pupils shrink.

It was only at that moment that Dihart realized there was actually someone hidden in the shadows.

The killing intent and malice were so intense, it made him break into a cold sweat.

"Is it that female Sword Saint with the strange horns? Or the red-eyed female Sword Saint said to rival the kingdom’s Knight Captain?"

Dihart became secretly vigilant, a deep sense of worry in his heart.

If the opponent were to suddenly escalate things now, seeking to harm the master, there’s no way he alone could stop them.

He couldn’t stop Reiger himself, let alone a female Sword Saint exuding such killing intent and malice targeting him.

Dihart was sure that if he dared to draw his sword... no, if he made even the slightest impulsive move, the female Sword Saint hidden in the dark would unhesitatingly strike and take off his head.

At that time, the young master would be in danger.

Dihart worried about this.

Fortunately, the tense atmosphere quickly dissipated.

Because of Reiger’s words.

"I have no interest in the future of this kingdom."

Reiger, after looking unflinchingly at Saint Nidor for a while, suddenly smiled and said those words.

"So, if you don’t want to provoke me, don’t cause trouble for me."

These words prompted a broad smile from Saint Nidor.

"I do not expect you to fully support this country, only that we can live in mutual peace and enjoy a pleasant governance period."

Saint Nidor made his position clear.

"I hope so too."

Reiger shrugged, responding thus.

"I also hope your Excellency, no, Your Majesty will govern this country well in the future, bringing peace and prosperity to the nation." Yuri, seemingly having made a decision, spoke seriously: "As long as Your Majesty treats the country and the people well in the future, I will choose to support Your Majesty."

"That is also what I hope to achieve."

Saint Nidor nodded heavily towards Yuri.

Afterward, the three of them chatted for a period, discussing what will happen after the succession campaign ends and what actions to take.

It can be seen that Saint Nidor wanted to befriend Reiger and Yuri, or rather this was the wisest choice.

Befriending Reiger ensures the kingdom’s peace for decades to come.

If he can maintain a good relationship, when the kingdom faces trouble in the future, Reiger would not hesitate to lend a hand.

From this perspective, Saint Nidor was clearly wiser than Hemulinp.

Hemulinp could only think of using existing benefits and connections to tie down Reiger, making him work for him.

Saint Nidor was wiser, understanding that as long as he gets along well with Reiger, with good relations, Reiger would not resent the kingdom.

After such a time, once Reiger has a sense of belonging to the kingdom, everything will be resolved.

At least, he is within the kingdom, and Yuri is also a Marquis of the kingdom. If the kingdom truly faces difficulty, unless Reiger is too discontent with the nation, based on his character, he would eventually take action.

"It would be nice to arrange a marriage alliance with him."

This is what Saint Nidor thought.

If Reiger and Saint Charia could become a pair, it would put this worry to rest.

Unfortunately, Saint Nidor knew very well that Reiger would not agree to such a politically-motivated marriage.

"I can only take it slowly, starting with building a good relationship."

This was where Saint Nidor showed his wisdom.

The three chatted happily until evening when Saint Nidor took his leave with Dihart.

"He will make a good king."

Seeing off Saint Nidor at the mansion, Yuri said to Reiger beside her.

"Perhaps."

Reiger did not disagree.

With Saint Nidor in power, he could live more comfortably in this country in the future.

This is pretty good, right?
