Chapter 131: Favourability decreased
Chapter 131: Favourability decreased
" The Dragon’s heart?" Bree was stunned for one moment she thought that she might have heard it wrong. Because there was no way the leading lady of the book would do something so heartless right? The Dragon’s heart was not a literal dragon’s heart, it was said to be a magic artefact that was gifted to the first Emperor of the Dragniere Empire by the Goddess, it was a magical artefact that was considered to be the true heart of the entire Empire, hidden away in the vault of sun tower where the light and warmth was limitless, the dragon’s heart pumped enough magical energy for the entire Empire to live in prosperity and peace.
It was written in the old history books that the Dragon’s heart shall never be moved from its home, if someone moves the Dragon’s heart the first disaster the Empire would face was an earthquake and if the Heart was to be taken away from the warmth and the light of the sun——worshipped by all Dragons, then the Empire will face one disaster after another. After the earth it would be the sky, there will be no rain and if the heart gets locked in a place with nothing but snow the next disaster that will follow the Empire would be drought swiftly backed up by plague.
How can the main protagonist even come up with such a ridiculous idea? Was she out of her mind, how can she even think of doing something like this?
" That’s right," said Cordelia as she placed her hands on her lap and started to swing her tiny legs. " The girl seems to be inclined to make the Empire face a dire situation to ignite the anger of the citizens and do you know what happens when the commoners get angered?"
" They rebel.." Bree didn’t need Cordelia to spell it out, for the sake of getting as used to her new life, she has been trying to catch up on all the books on politics, history and everything else. So, even if she was a white-collar worker, Bree was able to understand what Cordelia was trying to say here and once the entire information sunk in, Bree felt as if her entire body has turned cold. " She is planning a rebellion."
The rebellion wasn’t a small thing if Harley really succeeded in doing something like that then she will succeed in getting Bree in a crossfire and even if Bree was to try and stop the entire thing, it will be impossible and then what was she going to do? Starting a rebellion will be easy but stopping it won’t be that easy and what she was even more worried about was how in the world Harley came up with such a sinister plan. In the book it was often mentioned that Harley was a soft-hearted omega whose heart would start hurting even if she raised her voice on someone else...then how come something like this is happening?
How can she come up with such a disastrous plan that will get many commoners and knights killed? And for what? For shaking her influence?
" Apparently yes, from what I heard...she was talking to someone called Chy...Chy..what was that, it was a very novel word... I have never heard it before..."Cordelia said with a frown as she tapped at her chin trying to remember the name of the thing with which Harley was talking to.
" System." Bree raised her hand and knotted her hair in her fingers, it was one thing for the system to make way for Harley but it was completely different for it to come up with such an evil plan. In the end, the system was described as nothing but a mechanical existence that had no emotions, no human knowledge and only handed the task to its host, so how come all of a sudden it was actually coming up with such scary schemes?
" That’s right, that’s the word, Chystem!" Cordelia exclaimed as she slapped her thigh and looked at Bree. " That’s the reason I am asking you to bring that woman with you, something about her rubs me off wrong. I can understand if she was angered by the way you managed the Empire for a few months but one should never forget where they come from, being ambitious isn’t wrong but believing that they can flip the world is... that’s why I implore you, your majesty. Take that girl with you before she becomes a threat not only to you but everyone else around her as well including those who are innocent."
Bree stared at the wall opposite her before taking a breath and shouting, " Dion!"
" System how many favourability points do I have at the moment?" Harley ran a comb through her silvery white hair and asked the system, she knew that ever since the Queen has recovered her points had been going down lately but she still believed that she was able to manage enough points for herself.
" Yakov’s favourability has dropped to fifty per cent, Ahmar’s to twenty, Blaise to sixty and Cian to one per cent." The system immediately responded in its mechanical voice.
" What? Cian’s favourability dropped to one per cent?" She shot out of the chair not believing the system for a minute but when it showed the true numerical data to her she had no other choice but to believe it.
Cian’s favourability really dropped to one per cent.
Aggrieved she bit her lip, Harley knew that what she did yesterday would have caused some trouble for her after all she tried to use her omega power and almost kissed Cian when he wasn’t ready. But she never expected that it would drop to this point, what was even more annoying, she couldn’t get what she wanted!
It was like going to catch wool but coming back with shorn!
" System is there any chances to recover Cian’s lost favourability points?" Though the other favourability points were a lot low than the last time, it was still better than Cian’s, whose favourability has dropped to almost zero, what was she going to do if he was to start hating her out of nowhere? That man was the most prettiest them all, she didn’t want to lose a man like that!
" Currently his route has been temporarily locked," replied the system. " I cannot calculate the current stats of the fourth male lead, so host I recommend you stay away from Cian’s route for the time being."
Route closed? Harley felt like this was a bolt out of nowhere, how can the route get close all of a sudden and what did the system mean by that it can no longer calculate Cian’s stats? His stats were the most important given that he was a prince of a defeated kingdom!
His treasury was filled with gems and gold—— when she has turned up her charm on him, he has given it to her and she has taken good care of those gems. It was thanks to those gems that she was able to live a comfortable life at the moment.
Did the system not know how hard it was for her to raise the favourability to the point where Cian was willing to give her gifts? And now he was telling her that she can no longer get those gifts? On what basis?
The system must have sensed what she was thinking as it coldly responded, " Host, you failed the task yesterday, and in return, you even irked the Queen’s wrath, be thankful that you are still alive and no one in the palace dragged you to the prison. Irking the Dragon Queen is no simple feat, host."
This time Harley didn’t say anything, she was furious but she also understood that the system was right, if she didn’t have the system and wasn’t shrouded in the main protagonist’s halo then she too would have been dragged to the prison and locked up.
Since she couldn’t direct her anger at the system she could only direct it to Bree. " That woman! Why can’t she just die as a vicious cannot fodder as she supposed to!"
If only that woman died when she was supposed to die then Harley wouldn’t have to work so hard. The four men she has been chasing till now would have been under her feet by now! But all because that woman survived she lost everything, her men, her throne and her crown!
" Please don’t worry host," said the system mechanically with a calm voice. " As long as you can steal the Dragon’s heart then you will be able to shake the foundation of the Queen and you will have another chance to win the favourability of the targets make sure that you steal that heart, only then will we be able to get a hold on her."
" I understand, I will definitely——" she didn’t get a chance to finish what she was saying when she heard the front door of her room being knocked at. Frowning she crossed the room and opened the door before asking, " What is it?"
The guard outside saluted her before announcing in a loud voice, " Miss Harley please pack your bags, you will be leaving with the Queen."
Harley: "....."
The System: "...." Can’t I just work as an evil system in this world with peace?
