Warlord: King of All Clans

"Without the Saint-level deterrence, there is no way to influence the wishes of other Saint-levels."

"The Great Magician Saint Francis, the Human Sword Saint Saint Algernon, and the Holy Light Bishop Saint Antonisse, the three great saints of the imperial capital, are not members of the royal family."

The holy-level wizard Francis is the master of the White Tower of Wizards in the imperial capital, the honorary dean of the Magic Academy, and the president of the Magic Association. Before being promoted to the holy-level, he was the former court wizard, so he is very close to the royal family, but he is only close and will not allow the emperor to send him around.

Sword Saint Algernon is the owner of the East Sea Sword Field and the younger brother of Count Aosta at the mouth of the Valais River. Because he owed a favor to the royal family before he was promoted to the Saint rank, Charles VII moved his dojo into the palace a year ago at the cost of two cities and became the swordsmanship teacher of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

But in fact, he is now the guard of the palace, but he is not under the command of the emperor, and Charles VII will not take the initiative to ask him to leave.

As for the Holy Light Bishop Antonisse, he is the priest of the Holy Light Cathedral in the Imperial Capital and the Cardinal of the Southern Territory. His status is second only to the Pope of the City of Holy Light. When Archbishop Antonisse holds the Holy Light Ceremony, His Majesty the Emperor has to bow his head and listen.

These three imperial saints all have highly respected status and are not controlled by the imperial power.

The biggest flaw of the extraordinary way is that once you are promoted to the intermediate level, the next path becomes metaphysical. After relying on the accumulation of resources to reach the advanced intermediate level, there is no mature awakening potion to allow a mid-level person to be promoted to the advanced level stably.

Whether it is the magic department or the physical department, the awakening of the extraordinary is an activity on the spiritual level. If you want to become a high-level extraordinary, you can only continue to practice, train, increase your experience, improve your perception, and find a suitable opportunity to break through.

If promotion to a higher level can be achieved through hard work and personal efforts, then the Saint level is completely about exploring the unknown.

This is more difficult than making a nuclear bomb. After all, once a nuclear bomb is made, it can be replicated according to technical principles, but the existence of each Saint is completely unreplicable.

The Southern Territory, with its absolute population advantage, extraordinary heritage and accumulated resources, now has four great saints, but such an advantage cannot be placed above the royal family.

Hundreds of years ago, the royal family was prosperous and continued to cultivate external relatives and retainers, thus ensuring the protection of the Holy Order for a long time.

But now, the emperor has a small army and his resources are not as endless as before.

There is only inheritance, but it can only cultivate a few high-level extraordinary people.

On the contrary, low- and mid-level extraordinary beings such as Griffin Knight and Rose Knight can almost be mass-produced.

Such a royal family can still maintain sufficient respect in the mortal world, but when they reach the saint level, they can only guarantee equal communication.

Leo's plan to requisition the Holy Order from Charles VII also failed.

Leo had no choice but to think of another way, so he put it aside for the time being, "Can we meet the princess?"

Charles VII did not hesitate, "Of course."

Gulveg brought her maid all the way back to the bedroom, sat upright on the bed, and waited for the maids to leave. Suddenly, she rolled over on the bed.

She hugged the stuffed mouse doll on the bed and smashed her head hard, "Will Leo and Sister Olivia be angry? How did Freya become an adult? Damn, she's taller than me!"

After learning that Leo was not dead, the little mouse was excited and began to immerse himself in study and work hard to improve himself.

According to the empire's succession laws, as long as she survives, she can become the next ruler of the empire.

But this kind of ruler is only nominal. In reality, due to his "young age" and "ignorance", the ruling power will be divided among several regents.

She had greater ambitions and was unwilling to be a puppet on the throne, so she began to follow the political game of the empire, shaping her own image, winning over her confidants, establishing her authority, and paving the way for future rule.

But all this has just begun and is still in the stage of establishing the character.

Her current personality is the "immortal Gullveig" after experiencing hardships, the "clever imperial princess" after awakening, and a royal descendant who begins to develop political wisdom and gradually becomes "social".

At this time, let alone revealing unnecessary emotions, even if you take too big steps, you will be criticized by the nobles in the imperial capital.

Of course, more importantly, the little mouse was unwilling to transfer the danger from itself to Leo and others.

When Noreen walked in, the little mouse stood up quickly, "Where's Leo? Where's Olivia? Where's Freya and Fisa?"

"They are still at the banquet, and it will be difficult to get away for the time being."

“So annoying!”

Gulveig changed her noble and elegant attitude at the banquet and seemed impatient. She suddenly waved to Norin, "Come here."

As Noreen approached, she saw Her Royal Highness shrinking under her arms.

"Pick me up."

After the little mouse returned to the imperial capital, it was difficult for her to get along well with her peers because of her strange behavior. Instead, she became very close to the trusted Knight Norin, and they were like sisters in private.

Norin secretly laughed, but did not dare to offend too much. She just pinched the princess, then quickly put her down and nodded, "The princess has gained a lot of weight."

Because of Olivia's expectations, the little mouse pays great attention to his height and weight indicators. In the past, he would be much happier when he heard that he had gained weight.

But this time, she sat back in annoyance and muttered, "It's too heavy? Is it hard to hold?"

Seeing that Her Royal Highness the Princess was beginning to go berserk, Norin became anxious and said, "I'll go and urge her again!"

When the private meeting between Charles VII and Leo was over, Noreen was already waiting on the side. After getting the Emperor's permission, Noreen hurried forward and said, "Everyone, follow me."

Finally, an acquaintance showed up. Leo led people to follow Norin out, asking in a low voice, "What's going on with the little mouse?"

Norin whispered, "Her Royal Highness is of noble status now, so she can't get close to you in public. Besides, the imperial capital has been unstable recently, so Her Royal Highness doesn't want to expose her relationship with you."

"Unstable?" Leo was a little puzzled. I believe that the outside world is unstable, but the imperial capital where the three saints are in charge is also unstable?

Noreen's face was serious. "Last month, Her Royal Highness the Princess encountered an assassination attempt."

"What?" Leo was very surprised. "Didn't they say they were protected by the Sword Master? How could they be assassinated? What do you Rose Knights do for a living?"

Norin sighed and said, "The assassin is a Rose Knight and the personal guard of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

As Norin explained, Leo realized that a month ago, a Rose Knight under Norin's command suddenly attacked and prepared to assassinate the princess when Norin left the little mouse.

But she still underestimated the strength of the Saint-level swordsman. The moment the Rose Knight burst into murderous intent, he was sensed by the Sword Saint of the neighboring dojo.

A sword intent penetrated the two halls and instantly crushed the assassin's soul. The assassin's dagger was only half pulled out when he fell stiff to the ground.

The Rose Knights under Knight Norin were all recruited by the Queen herself. They have clear family backgrounds, recognized moral character, and have worked with Knight Norin for many years.

Why she suddenly committed the assassination and who ordered her to do so has not been discovered yet.

"So don't worry. As long as Her Royal Highness stays in the palace, Lord Algernon will be able to ensure her safety," Noreen comforted Leo, but then she changed the subject, "But you are different. If the person behind the scenes knew that you are Her Royal Highness's relatives, how would he get close to you and use you?"

Leo was horrified by what he heard, and felt that the imperial capital was eerie and scary, so he decided to hurry back to the safety of the river bend.

But he had to see the little mouse, so he hurriedly urged, "Take me to see the little mouse."

Olivia on the side stopped Leo and said hesitantly: "Where's Fisa? And Seti, Six..."

Leo finally realized, "Yeah! Where's my Fisa? Where's my big Fisa?"
