The current performance is quite good, detecting danger and being able to escape in advance. As long as one is alive, there is hope. Maintaining royal power is the common interest of the Monarch Group, and Queen Marisol’s willingness to lower her face to plead for help means that governments of various countries cannot ignore it.
It’s not just the Alpha Kingdom that received the call for help. Due to distance, the governments of countries on the South Continent received the news even earlier.
At the Lutesya Palace, Charles III was looking at the information in his hand with a heavy heart. As the number one power of the Human Race, it is both an honor and a responsibility.
The major Human countries all received Queen Marisol’s call for help, yet the Frank Empire welcomed this queen seeking political asylum.
Acceptance is a must; it is an understanding between the monarchs of various countries.
Undoubtedly, Queen Marisol did not choose the Frank Empire simply for political asylum, but more to seek political and military support.
The same issue placed in any other Human Kingdom is no big deal, but for the Frank Empire, it is a hot potato.
The Frank Empire was a forced makeshift, and the first major event after becoming an empire. If it can’t be handled well, the consequences will be serious.
The empire’s reputation would plummet, which is intolerable for both Emperor Charles III and the nobles and royal dignitaries in court.
"Has the situation in the Falcon Kingdom been thoroughly investigated?"
Though the Falcon Kingdom doesn’t have a strong presence, as a neighbor, it’s still one of Frank Empire’s key concerns. Not understanding the details of a neighboring kingdom’s coup immediately is itself a dereliction of duty.
"Your Majesty, all communications between us and the Falcon Kingdom have been cut off. The strongmen we sent to investigate have not yet returned, so..."
Before the Minister of Foreign Affairs could finish, the atmosphere in the hall grew heavy. The ability to block messages means the opposition came prepared.
For a time, they all suspected it was an internal power-grabbing action colluded by the three major clans within the Falcon Kingdom.
Unfortunately, power in the Falcon Kingdom is already dominated by the three major clans. Queen Marisol merely played political balancing among them, and as beneficiaries, the three major clans have no reason to flip the table.
Apart from these three, the remaining noble forces are limited. Initiating a coup is challenging enough, let alone blocking messages immediately; it’s almost impossible.
All of you are useless!
Just a sea apart, such a major upheaval in the Falcon Kingdom, and you don’t even know who did it. It is sheer stupidity!
Charles III’s outburst left Minister of Foreign Affairs Marquis Hessus feeling aggrieved. If not knowing the information is incompetence, then what about Queen Marisol and her entourage who fled over here?
Kicked out of their home, fleeing in disgrace, unaware of who acted against them; just thinking about it is laughable.
If those involved can’t get a handle on the situation, it’s entirely understandable that the Department of Foreign Affairs, which serves part-time in intelligence gathering, is out of the loop.
"Your Majesty, with so many changes happening across the continent recently, it’s understandable the Department of Foreign Affairs is overwhelmed.
If we wait a few more days, the Department of Foreign Affairs will surely identify which forces were involved. Detailed deployment can then be made, and it won’t be too late."
Prime Minister Duke Bergson advised.
Truly, they couldn’t handle more chaos.
Because of the rumor of divine status, multiple factions within the Frank Empire formed teams to explore the Kingdom of God, only for them to disappear without a trace.
The consequences of their own chaos must be dealt with by themselves. However, the series of chain reactions caused by this requires the empire to digest.
With their own issues being significant, now being passively involved with the Falcon Kingdom’s trouble is troublesome enough. If possible, Prime Minister Duke Bergson truly wished to throw this hot potato out.
At another time, with the chance to interfere in the Falcon Kingdom’s affairs, everyone would have rushed for it. Unfortunately, the timing is not right.
"Hmph! The source of this content ɪs novel•fire.net
The Department of Foreign Affairs should immediately contact various countries, inviting them to form a United Nations Force and help Queen Marisol restore her nation together.
If this matter is not handled well again, then the Department of Foreign Affairs should just shut down!"
Charles III’s words startled Minister of Foreign Affairs Marquis Hessus; this was the harshest statement since the Emperor ascended the throne, clearly indicating rage near the point of eruption.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, we will coordinate this matter well!"
Marquis Hessus immediately assured.
While seemingly a simple task, it is not easy to accomplish.
Theoretically, the stance of supporting Queen Marisol’s restoration is consistent among the Human Kingdoms.
In practice, each government has its own calculations. Support is, of course, necessary as it’s politically correct, but the extent and manner of support requires careful consideration.
The Frank Empire doesn’t want to bear this problem alone and plans to drag the Human Kingdoms into it, but governments of each country are no fools. Without sufficient benefits, why should they cooperate?
After all, the hot potato is in the hands of the Frank Empire; everyone can simply create momentum from the sidelines, using public pressure to force them to bear more military obligations.
When Hudson arrived at the Royal Palace, the Frank Empire’s envoy to the kingdom had just exited. The two exchanged a few brief words.
After gaining a preliminary understanding of the situation, Hudson immediately stifled his disdain. A force emerging out of nowhere, successfully launching a coup in the Falcon Kingdom, is unquestionably against common sense.
