Inside Midgar Academy.
Alexia, as a princess and also the Student Council President of the Midgar Magic Swordsman Academy, convened a full student meeting.
All the students of the school gathered in the main assembly hall.
"Welcome, everyone…"
…Alexia spoke a few pleasantries.
Then she got straight to the point.
"I'm sure you're all curious why I've called you here."
"I, Alexia, the Second Princess of the Midgar Kingdom and the Student Council President of the Magic Swordsman Academy, am announcing today that I will form a Knights Order! This matter has already received the approval of the King of Midgar Kingdom."
"I swear to you all, I will become the next King of the Midgar Kingdom!"
"Now, an opportunity to defy fate is before you: follow me to contend for glory and wealth, or continue to be an ordinary Magic Swordsman in obscurity!"
The crowd exchanged glances, all astonished by Alexia's boldness.
It was well known that Alice had a very high reputation in the Royal Capital.
Everyone thought she would be the next King.
Alexia's declaration was undoubtedly a declaration of war against Alice.
Upon hearing this, Sid was suddenly dumbfounded.
"That bad-tempered Alexia could become King? She must be crazy!" Sid thought to himself.
Christina then walked onto the podium.
"I, Christina, on behalf of the entire Hope Ducal Family, pledge allegiance to Alexia!"
At this moment, everyone's hearts wavered.
With just Alexia, everyone thought the princess was joking.
But that was Duke Hope.
How many dukes could a country have?
Fewer than ten.
The ranks of nobility are Baron, Viscount, Earl, Marquis, Duke, Prince, Emperor.
Non-royals cannot be enfeoffed as King.
Duke is the highest title a normal family can attain.
And Christina, representing a ducal family, declared allegiance to Alexia.
With the Duke's inclusion, Alexia truly might become King.
This news quickly spread throughout the Royal Capital.
Alice also learned of this news.
She first doubted the veracity of the matter.
All the students of the Magic Swordsman Academy knew.
The truth of this matter could already be confirmed.
For such a major event, Alice first went to King Klaus.
"Father, did you permit Alexia to form a Knights Order?"
"That's right!"
"Father, why did you agree to her? She is a murderer who randomly kills innocents."
Alice was still bothered by Alexia killing her Vice Commander of Red Knights.
"Alexia truly surprised me; she is excellent, courageous, intelligent, and capable.
I am old now, and as a princess, she is also qualified to become King!"
"Father, do you mean you agree for Alexia to become the next King?"
Alice looked at her father in disbelief.
"It's not that if I agree, she can ascend to the throne; it depends on what she does afterward."
"So you're implicitly agreeing?"
"Alice, to be honest, you are even more foolish than I imagined.
To be deceived by the Diabolos Cult to such an extent and still unable to discover the truth.
Your actions truly make me worry about the future of the Midgar Kingdom!"
King Klaus of Midgar was not a fool; he was well aware of Fenrir's death.
The struggle between Shadow Garden and The Order in the Midgar Kingdom was a complete victory for Shadow Garden.
And The Order's presence in the Midgar Kingdom had begun to become low-key.
Alexia's participation in the Chasing Stars Society and her current declaration all speak to Alexia's ability.
Alice, hearing her father's words, did not continue to speak.
It was clear that she felt her father was siding with Alexia, and she had completely lost trust in her father.
Klaus did not explain; Alice completely siding with The Order was also part of his plan.
He had achieved his goal.
The Royal Bloodline Continuation Plan had succeeded.
