Knights and Magic Wand
Chapter 586 - 586 276

586: 276.

Blood of Revenge 586: 276.

Blood of Revenge “As you said, it’s not easy, but if you are willing to seize the opportunity, I can give you a push.” Olivia smiled brightly, “Honestly, I don’t think your Sealing Lord, or even my father, can reward you fittingly for your current achievements after everything is over, but I might be able to give you a chance to rise.”

Truth be told, Leon was somewhat tempted.

If he and Lola could truly quell this disaster, then the Eastern Kantadar would undoubtedly be in a state of highest power vacuum.

The Sobonitz, and even more areas, large territories would become no man’s land, how much change and opportunity would be there?

He did not know what method Olivia could use to allow him to still have a foothold in Sobonitz after the war, but getting the support of this Third Princess who had an army and territories was certainly a good thing.

However, regarding this gift with unspecified cost, Leon cautiously asked, “Your Highness, why are you generous enough to help?”

“Is this unexpected?

You have extraordinary prestige, admirable character, and excellent ability.

As I mentioned at that banquet, I need someone like you…” Olivia turned around gently shaking her head, “But now I’ve changed my mind.

Instead of a military officer under my command, I more desire you to become my solid ally, a friend strong enough I can rely on in times of difficulty.”

Leon gazed at the smiling girl in front of him, his heart remained unmoved: “I believe Your Highness’s help is not without compensation.”

Lightly shaking the fan handle, Olivia tapped her palm, “I trade this help for your friendship and commitment, so that when I face difficulties, I only hope you can stand by my side firmly.”

She had understood the person’s character and style of acting well from several observations, believing that even a promise in his eyes carries enough weight.

Leon stared thoughtfully at the blonde girl before him, so different from Olivia, then frowned and spoke:

“Your kindness is too heavy…

I dare to speculate, could it be Your Highness intends to compete for succession rights against the Crown Prince?”

The sudden words made Agatha behind Olivia widen her eyes in astonishment.

The young princess slightly parted her lips, after a while covered her lips with a fan: “…Even I was taken aback by your straightforwardness.”

Leon slightly bent his body indifferently to show his apology.

A flicker of thought crossed Olivia’s eyes, then she shook her head: “Your joke…

indeed has a certain allure…

but unfortunately, as far as I know, there’s never been a precedent for a woman ascending to the throne, whether in Orland or other kingdoms.

My brother has yet to make any grave mistakes, and I have several brothers too.

No matter what, the kingdom’s nobles will not support a woman wearing the crown, unless someone harbors ulterior motives…

I’m very curious, why do you have such a bold guess?”

Leon’s words made him slightly stunned, soon realizing it seemed true.

As far as he knew, in the history of Felu people’s nations, female knights and duchesses are not unheard of, but indeed he’s never heard of a “queen.”

“Please forgive my civilian origins, I only know that in Seryan’s legend, the Holy Prophet who ruled the continent thousands of years ago was a woman.

I thought it wasn’t unacceptable for a woman to become king.” Leon changed his wording to respond.

Recalling the opponent’s Seryan hunter background, this misunderstanding is understandable.

Recalling the millennium-old records in the royal family’s archives, Olivia smiled helplessly, “That’s…

alright, I’ll remember the ancient precedent you mentioned, but I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.

Even if people could accept a female king, my father would never allow it.

After all, I won’t commit the crime of subverting ethics like the previous tyrant.

In this way, once I have a husband in the future, it would almost be equivalent to handing over the throne my father obtained to another family.

If a woman is allowed to be king, this loophole would inevitably become the source of chaos in the kingdom, which is surely something my father cannot accept.”

Leon nodded, understanding that he was overthinking due to examples from his past life on Earth, realizing the Felu people’s inheritance system is very conservative in inclination.

It seems, this Princess Ines has no ambition to usurp the throne.

Regardless of her outward appearance, from her words at least, Leon realized Orland’s political environment isn’t very accepting of a female king.

Although Leon knew well, if only seeking the highest status, without caring if the next heir is one’s child, the issue Olivia worried about isn’t without solution.

For example, appointing a sibling’s child as the heir would be a compromise.

Of course, as Olivia said, unless a queen remains unmarried for life, or close kin marriage is practiced within the family, those with ambition to seize power would certainly take the opportunity.

“Did you know?

Your words just now almost pit the royal family against each other.” Olivia’s eyebrow seemed to carry a reproach as she playful retorted: “Do you want to support me as Orland’s first queen?”

She clutched her fan, a strange emotion swept through her heart, was it a thrill for this fantasy of seizing the throne?

“It entirely depends on whether Your Highness has this wish, and why you have this wish.

Please forgive my probing slip earlier.” Leon tactfully clarified his stance:

“The current disaster has exhausted us.

I sincerely appreciate your kindness, just really don’t wish to get caught up in a struggle for power, but since my limited knowledge misunderstood inheritance law, I apologize for my skepticism to you.”

Leon felt somewhat relieved, he only feared being involved in a struggle for the throne.

Olivia gradually calmed down and continued asking, “Since you already have a judgment, what’s your answer?”

Leon placed a hand on his chest and nodded: “You have helped me before and personally led the army to the front lines to assist me against the Undead.

We have long been friends.

No matter if you can help me obtain anything in the Sobonitz Domain or not, I will not hesitate to lend a hand when you need help.”

Although it seemed like a standard statement, Olivia could feel that the other’s promise did not sound insincere.

The girl resumed her smile, “Then, it’s a deal?”

“It’s a deal.”

…

Night has fallen.

Olivia returned to her room, with Agatha’s assistance, took off the show armor and soaked her tired body in a wooden tub’s hot water.

Leaning on the edge, undoing her braid, the girl lazily enjoyed the close-fitting female knight washing her hair, her eyes involuntarily wandered towards the chest armor on the table.

In the reflection of candlelight, her blurry image was cast on the shiny surface.

“…Queen.” Murmuring this unfamiliar word, Olivia bit her finger lightly.

It seemed she wanted to clear her head a bit.

But is there any power more capable of influencing everything than that position…

But is it possible?

The little mind couldn’t help but simulate various different possibilities…

Amidst the swirling complex thoughts, she suddenly blurrily mistook Agatha in the reflection for another figure…

“…Agatha~.” The girl murmured, seeming somewhat dazed.

“Yes, Your Highness?”
