Chapter 1182: Chapter 660: The Crown Princess’s Overinterpretation_3 fгeewebnovёl.com
In preparation for immigration, he resolutely gave up the well-developing Gnoll iron mine to venture into the new territory of the Three Rivers Region in Battle Valley.
In the first half of this year, his seemingly unrelated actions all appeared to be for the preparation of the Conqueror Army, which aimed to acquire the Rocklands from the Komeer Kingdom.
Based on the series of actions he has demonstrated, securing Rocklands is certainly not his ultimate goal; it is but one ring in the chain of his many plans, and undoubtedly, he has deeper schemes.
The Crown Princess pondered and realized that the only kingdom her rival could covet was the Komeer Kingdom. The royal marriage she had previously inferred might also be something the other party desires.
If it weren’t for the Crown Princess’s earlier acquaintance with Gaven, which left a strong first impression, based solely on this intelligence, she would envision an image of a middle-aged Mage, ruthless, unorthodox, and deeply strategic.
Such a person seems to despise the constraints of rules, preferring to tear apart the existing and create their own interests.
This way of doing things is bound to clash with the behavior of the Komeer Kingdom’s Nobles, and conflicts between the two parties can easily escalate.
However, in the eyes of the Crown Princess, this is not entirely a bad thing. Having enjoyed a millennium of stability, the Komeer Kingdom’s entrenched powers are not only the Obisceal Royal Family but also several families as ancient as they are, not to mention those that have risen over this millennium for various reasons.
Felen has a saying that there is noble blood in every Komeer person.
Sometimes this proverb is used to describe the noble quality of Komeer people, but more often, it is to mock the abundance and inefficiency of Komeer Kingdom’s Nobles.
Any extreme is never good.
The overburdened noble system is a heavy load on the Komeer Kingdom. The output of a Kingdom is limited, and when more people are drawing sustenance from it, the wealth that reaches the hands of the Obysque Royal Family naturally decreases. Even if the burden on the common people is increased, the portion that the Royal Family can secure is very limited. Instead, it shakes the foundations of the nation.
Under normal circumstances, even the Obysque Royal Family, the rulers of the Komeer Kingdom, cannot easily touch these noble families without a fatal mistake. That would be an accusation against the entire vested class, which could force these families to unite against the Obysque Family. Even if it is not possible to topple the Obysque Royal Family from their ruling status, it would surely trigger an all-out civil war.
But if Gaven, a huge and man-eating catfish, breaks in and stirs the water, creating a situation where big fish eat small fish, it would be a different matter.
The premise is that Gaven can enter the game.
Tainalasta is keenly aware of the machinations of Komeer Kingdom’s nobles. To protect their interests, they would decisively abandon the Royal Family. They might not even give Gaven a chance to get involved, using various conspiracies to stiffen the relations between both parties and draw them into the abyss of war.
Every place has its hawks, and the Komeer Kingdom is no exception. Led by the medium and small nobles and primarily composed of professional soldiers and knights, they are constantly eager for war. Only war can bring them military exploits, glory, and rewards, and provide them with better ladders to climb up.
Peaceful contact between the Conqueror Army and the Komeer Kingdom is naturally at odds with their interests.
For Gaven, the journey to the Komeer Kingdom is their best opportunity to act, and the Crown Princess must prevent such an accident from happening.
Gaven is unaware of the many twists and turns behind the Crown Princess’s journey. If he knew, he might have to argue for himself. Overinterpretation can spoil anything. His journey to this point involved many coincidences and changed plans countless times. Much of it was outside his original plans. It was only after establishing his domain in the Valley, with Zalanda’s rise in Darama, that the Conqueror Army formed, not the other way around. Even Lady Strategy could not predict such development, after all, plans are just plans, subject to many unforeseen factors.
"Being able to accompany Your Majesty is my greatest honor," Gaven said with a smile, "but I hope we can decide on our journey."
The Crown Princess’s personal reception was another matter that was unexpected but reasonable.
This fully demonstrates the Komeer Kingdom’s regard for the Conqueror Army and for oneself. With the Crown Princess accompanying, safety will be absolutely guaranteed. She is the best Royal Decree, and nobody would dare disrespect the heir to this nation on the land of the Komeer Kingdom.
However, for oneself, this poses many inconveniences. Not to mention that there is no way to make many moves in the grey area, even some relatively normal business layouts cannot be conducted. After all, the other party is unlikely to accompany one on wasting too much time on the road. One’s original plans must now be adjusted, and one must abandon trivial details and quickly push forward with one or two key priorities.
"Agreed." The Crown Princess is curious to see what Gaven will do along the way; she has a premonition that their journey will not be lonely.
Now that the Crown Princess is joining, Gaven has dismissed the accompanying merchant caravan, selecting only ten armed guards. While few in number, they are a diverse mix of professions, all Transcendent or above elites, ready to handle most situations.
The Crown Princess also carries ten bodyguards, but in contrast to Gaven’s mismatched group, hers is uniform: five War Mages and five Purple Dragon Knights, all with Transcendent or above strength.
With each person double-mounted, their travel speed is naturally very high.
