Chapter 66

"Your Majesty, I will speak frankly" Luen Donner's expression wasn't very good. Luen Donner's expression wasn't exactly good, he didn't have much respect for Seth the First: "The Interkam Kingdom has reached its most critical moment"

"Once Ingmarlo falls, the Interkam Kingdom will also cease to exist. This is something that you cannot accept, and neither can the Church of Divine Grace" Luen spoke frankly: "And the only solution right now is to gather all of our forces and defend Ingmarlo"

"And the only one who can gather all of our forces right now is Nala" Luen continued: "Her Dragon bloodline has awakened, coupled with the prophecy, this gives her an unparalleled advantage in Interkam"

"As long as she shows herself, she will be able to obtain the support of the nobles who have lost their territories, the Church of Divine Grace will also fully support her, and the Donner family will also convince the other nobles to send their private troops to support her"

"Then, in what name will she show herself?" Seth the First understood that in the Interkam Kingdom, there had been people who had been promoting the existence of the Saintess of Salvation for a very long time. Even now, after Interkam's fall, the Saintess of Salvation's words still had quite a bit of influence.

"Princess" Luen replied in a low voice.

"Then so be it" Seth the First didn't try to argue for anything and directly made his decision.

Zeuss's status as the Princess wasn't disputed because he didn't have any other bargaining chips, but the Church of Divine Grace was different. Although the Church of Divine Grace was the most powerful force in the Interkam Kingdom, they had never stopped spreading their teachings to the surrounding smaller countries.

Because of that, although the Church of Divine Grace had taken root in Interkam, and the fall of Interkam would be a heavy blow to the Church, the Church of Divine Grace would not perish together with Interkam.

Seth the First had no other choice. The reason why Interkam was able to survive until now was all thanks to the Church of Divine Grace's efforts. Now that he had no other choice, he had to acknowledge Nala's status as Princess. With this official status, if Nala could truly reverse the situation of the war, then Nala who had gained military authority would be able to ask Seth to abdicate and take the throne herself, while the Church of Divine Grace who facilitated all of this would naturally gain even more benefits.

Of course, the prerequisite for all of this was to reverse the situation and repel the invasion of the Kingdom of Royas. Otherwise, everything in the future would be meaningless, and if Nala really did repel Royas, Zeuss would have a way to reverse everything.

In order to promote Nala, Zeuss held a grand gathering with a confident and elegant smile on his face. It was as if he wasn't the one whose country was about to be destroyed. The nobles around him greeted him politely, as if they weren't the ones who refused to send out their private soldiers and money to support their country.

If possible, Seth the First really wanted to kill every single one of these aristocrats, but he couldn't. Because if he did that, even without the Kingdom of Royas, Interkam would still fall, and it would fall even faster.

Nobles were an indispensable part of a country, but they were also a cancer of a country. The problem of nobles was a big problem no matter which kingdom it was.

The reason why the Kingdom of Royas was so powerful was because Eldridge had conquered over half of the nobles in the country. The authority of the Royas nobles had been suppressed to the extreme, so Royas had to declare war. If they didn't declare war against the outside world, civil war would break out.

It could be said that Eldridge had chosen an unconventional path. With his own abilities, he had consolidated everything and raised the nobles of Royas into a hungry wolf. If the conquest of Interkam was obstructed, this hungry wolf would turn around and bite him instead.

Fortunately, Interkam couldn't muster up any decent resistance at all, allowing Royas to conquer over half of their territory like a hot knife through butter, otherwise, Eldridge would have suffered heavy losses as well.

In fact, if Negri hadn't chosen to help Interkam out of Sieh Mother-in-law's prophecy and delayed some of the hidden forces of Royas, Interkam would have fallen even faster.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have invited you all here today to celebrate the return of the House of Dracul" With a smile on his face, Seth the First gestured to Isabella in the middle of the crowd with a glass of red wine in his hand: "A few years ago, there was a small disturbance in the country that caused Countess Isabella to leave the country. Now that there are very few members of the royal family, this is truly something to be happy about"

Wasn't it Seth who caused that disturbance all those years ago? The reason why there were so few members of the royal family was also because he was afraid that others would threaten his throne. So what if there were very few members of the royal family, Interkam was about to be destroyed anyway.

But none of these nobles said anything, because that would truly be breaking all pretense of cordiality. Nobles had their own rules of the game, breaking the rules meant jumping out of the game, and there were no benefits to jumping out of the game. Without being able to use the power of the rules, they would most likely die the very next day.

The many nobles nodded to greet Isabella, who returned their greetings according to etiquette. This woman appeared to be a bit nervous, she had been a farmer's wife for more than 10 years, then returned to Interkam for another 7 years, but this was the first time she had participated in an aristocratic banquet like this.

"The return of the House of Dracul to the royal family is a cause for celebration. Another matter is that Nala Dracul has awakened the royal Dragon's bloodline. According to the royal family's inheritance, Nala Dracul can be crowned Princess" Seth smiled and said: "I intend to have Nala replace me and lead my army to the frontlines of Colomier to fight for the Interkam Kingdom!"

Seth raised his glass of red wine and was about to point out Nala when he saw Nala dressed in a black formal dress, quickly devouring the food in front of the table, as if she had an irreconcilable grudge against the food in front of her.

As if she had heard her own name, she blankly turned around with a large piece of steak in her hand to look at Seth who was standing in the middle of the crowd. At that very moment, Seth couldn't help but doubt himself. Was it really appropriate for me to put my hopes on this little girl?

Seeing her mother's troubled expression, Nala hurriedly swallowed the steak on her knife and fork into her stomach, then put it down with an expression of aristocratic elegance.

"The awakening of the Dragon's bloodline does make one's appetite a bit bigger. Wasn't the founding monarch of Interkam, George the First also known for his large appetite?" Seth smiled and brushed aside Nala's rude behavior.

Regardless, this banquet was a success. Nala who had awakened the Dragon's bloodline had proven the prophecy of the Saintress of Salvation, the daughter of the Dragon. Under the Church's facilitation, the various forces of Interkam began to gather under this army.

Nala was wearing a set of male armor and a helmet to hide her overly childish face. She rode on a tall white horse with the flag of Interkam on her back, leading the army to reinforce Colomier on the frontlines.

Along the way, some people would occasionally choose to join this army, many of them were aristocrats whose territories had been occupied, as well as some young people with ideals.
