Chapter 837: Chapter 439: Turning Eyes to the Throne_2

The Hearthstone Witch immediately said, "I had already calculated that."

"The King of Alsace can ask for foreign aid, so can we. The Mango Tooth Kingdom is your cousin, you can ask him to support you. The Mango Tooth Kingdom has friendly relations with the even more powerful Pearl Tooth Kingdom, a traditional ally historically. Why not ask your cousin to leverage the support of the Pearl Tooth Kingdom for you?"

"The current Emperor Aoyue III is also at odds with the Church, and the previous Henry VII had also offended the Pope to death. With a little effort, you could get troops and supplies from the Church."

"The Frankish people are a variable; they are a powerful nation on the left side of Alsace, not losing to the Empire. Their attitude is also very important. It would suffice if they remain neutral."

"After you become the Mortal King of Ambros, you could bring Ambros closer to the Republic, gaining the support of the Three Republics. Moreover, you could also win over some major kingdoms within the Empire’s territory beforehand."

The Hearthstone Witch said, "The current Emperor Aoyue III is also the archenemy and nemesis of the current Majesty of the Champagne and Brandy United Kingdom. You could completely send an envoy to try to gain that king’s support."

"I helped you calculate closely, and you are actually at an advantage."

Ivita felt his forehead sweating.

How had he gained an upper hand?

The Hearthstone Witch said, "There’s another very important thing. The sudden usurpation of the Alsace Kingdom was a significant upheaval for the Magic Black Forest; no one defended your rights."

"If you assert your own rights to the succession of the Alsace Kingdom, you would get the help of other nations."

After listening to the Hearthstone Witch’s analysis, Ivita suddenly saw the light.

This wasn’t without reason.

The Empire and the Alsace Kingdom were closely connected; the issues intertwined. If he wanted to regain his throne, he had to deal with the Empire’s problems effectively.

"Germanicus..." Ivita pondered; between himself and the throne stood Germanicus.

Wait a second.

Ivita became alert, when had he become as insatiably greedy as the Hearthstone Witch? Perhaps it was because he had spent too much time with her lately?

For a moment, he actually considered how to control both the Alsace Kingdom and secure the throne simultaneously.

Ivita glanced at the Hearthstone Witch and said, "Let’s talk about this later, take one step at a time; too much desire can lead to losing everything."

"Now let’s focus on the Alsace Kingdom first."

"But you are right, the diplomatic environment of the Alsace Kingdom itself is not favorable; we may not need to fight alone."

Ivita handed his reply to the Hearthstone Witch. "Deliver my reply accurately to that king."

As Ivita handed over the letter to the Hearthstone Witch, his thumb touched her palm, but just at that touch, a long, black mark appeared on the palm of her right hand, which under the light appeared three-dimensional, like a dark door.

Ivita said, "I have left the Dark Door on the palm of your hand, which is the most powerful spatial magic of the Laxi Dreamer."

"Should you encounter danger, it can take you away from peril."

"You can take a message to that king — ’The true king is immortal.’

The Hearthstone Witch showed an excited smile; she quite loved stirring trouble.

After the Hearthstone Witch left, Ivita pondered for a while, his line of thought inspired by the Hearthstone Witch; her ability to stir the waters was indeed a strong suit.

He wrote to the queen of the Champagne and Brandy United Kingdom, telling her that the Alsace Kingdom had been manipulated as a puppet by the Imperial Emperor Aoyue III and had long been harming the interests of the United Kingdom.

But now, there was an opportunity for the United Kingdom to gain the friendship of the Alsace Kingdom and achieve a better diplomatic environment...

Meanwhile, Ivita thought it over and decided to test the strength of the family branches in the Mango Tooth Kingdom. He then wrote a letter to his uncle in the Mango Tooth Kingdom, asking for his help in restoring his country and to act as an intermediary in making an acquaintance with the King of the Pearl Tooth Kingdom.

Meanwhile, in the signature line, he wrote— owner of the Iron Crown, master of the Black Sea, Grand Viscount of Ambros.

Had he written this letter before, it likely would not have been taken seriously, but now that he possessed three independent countries, writing this letter was entirely different.

It would only be seen as a very serious diplomatic act.

Next, Ivita pondered and began writing to the three republics on the peninsula, seeking enlightened help from similarly enlightened political bodies.

In short, he spoke only the finest words and offered all the incentives, presenting himself as an enlightened monarch who supported parliamentary autonomy, even parliamentary governance.

Not just that, Ivita also wrote letters to the Peasant Republic within the Empire, or to many mayors of autonomous cities, hoping to gain their support.

Although it was not very useful, since he had already ventured onto the international stage, he always had to greet them.

Last, Ivita wrote to the Pope and his cousin Germanicus, telling the Pope of his devout heart in the letters, asking the Pope to drive away the king who disrespected the God of All Things and to hasten his ascension.

To his cousin, he invited him to join his forces when the Imperial Emperor Aoyue III entered the war, so that he could seize the imperial throne at the same time as himself seizing the royal throne.

"The four kingdoms within the Empire," Ivan said, "and those major archbishoprics of the Church can’t be ignored either. I’ll treat a live horse as if it were dead; although I may not have that much influence, without asking for help, who knows if they might help me."

"In Ambros, I saw that they really liked to support others. Even if it’s just sending those mercenary troops within Ambros Territory to support me, that would be quite nice."

Thinking this, Ivita wrote dozens of letters to various monarchs.

This way, he could appoint council members of the city council or land nobles of Ambros first thing tomorrow morning to act as envoys to the various nations.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Ivita looked up in confusion and saw a servant bowing low, speaking somewhat fearfully, "Mr. Ivita, I... I didn’t want to disturb you, but... there are many nobles downstairs requesting to see you, but we’ve stopped them as you previously instructed. They’ve been waiting all afternoon."

What he meant was, they had waited too long, and the servants could hardly hold them back anymore.

Ivita nodded. "Who are they?"

Frightened by Ivita’s imposing aura, the servant didn’t even dare to look up. "They are generals from the Potzstan Kingdom, and generals from the Bavaria Duchy and other nations, and the Governor of the most prestigious republic, as well as major mayors and others."

Ivita raised an eyebrow. What do these people want with me?

I clearly thwarted their plans, making their endeavours and investments in Ambros come to nothing.

Ivita casually asked, "Did they say anything while waiting downstairs?"

The servant hesitated for a moment and then said in a low voice, "Mr. Ivita, they said they want you to pay them back. They are all saying you owe them a lot of money."

Ivita immediately understood what had happened. These people felt that their support for Ambros had made them lose money, and now that he was the monarch of Ambros, they had come to ask him for money.

Perhaps, before they came to support Ambros, someone might have promised them something.

But now that he was the Grand Viscount, what did those promises have to do with him?

He would not acknowledge any of them!

Ivita, with a calm demeanor, nodded at the servant to open the door for him and after letting him out, he directly walked down the stairs.

Although returning the money was highly unlikely.

But now it seemed there was new investment to offer them. He really was kind.
