Chapter 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 came tardily. freewēbnoveℓ.com
"Your Majesty, Princess, I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon." The one who brought the royal decree was none other than Tainalasta, Crown Princess of the Komeer 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 time the resistance came not just from outside the Komeer 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 merely Rockland itself, it wouldn’t be of such great value, but in recent years, the Komeer Kingdom had just swallowed Tivandun and the surrounding Red Spring Reclamation Area, which significantly elevated its value.
Not to mention other aspects, Tivandun alone holds immense commercial value as it is connected to the Moon Sea Road, High Road, Northern Horse Path, and other series of commercial lifelines. Given time, it will become the second Arabey, transforming into the second significant land-based commercial city of the Komeer Kingdom.
As for ennobling Gaven as Rockland Duke, that is the most beneficial choice for the entire Komeer Kingdom, an argument only convincing to the Obysque Royal Family, but failing to persuade other noble families within Komeer. 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 time goes by, personal desires often become entangled and many things become 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 Komeer. To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I will personally accompany you to Susar to meet with His Majesty King Yasan," said Crown Princess Tainalasta with a beautiful smile, "His Majesty allows you to bring along ten armed guards and no more than one hundred merchants and travelers."
She volunteered for this mission, having somewhat underestimated the internal inefficiency in the Komeer Kingdom. This choice, obviously extremely favorable to the Komeer, meets with unimaginable resistance internally. A mere agreement to allow Gaven to travel to Susar to meet King Yasan took the royal nobility an entire ten days to discuss. The usually wise King Yasan’s attitude on this matter was somewhat baffling to her. Though he didn’t clearly side with the nobility, he also didn’t fully support her, making the plan’s advancement especially difficult.
Although her interactions with Gaven were brief, just in ten days, it was enough time for her to peel him inside out, thoroughly understanding a person not only through face-to-face meetings 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 schemes 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 come 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 methods then seemed 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 some migrants by his ability, the Conqueror’s force wouldn’t have the momentum it has now without it.
