Chapter 1635: Divine Blood
King Julius couldn’t help but look at his daughter. "I have supported you in regard to the previous matter, and I have to say it’s very good. To be able to return to our normal lives and not have the gloomy sky anymore greatly improves morale.
"For that, I have to thank you and Nathan and everyone involved. However, I still don’t understand your aim." King Julius frowned.
Flora looked down for a moment. On the one hand, what they were doing wasn’t exactly a secret. People would find out sooner or later. There were plenty of familiars who had their divinity. Besides, a small number of humans also possessed the power of rules.
On the other hand, she wondered if telling him was the correct choice.
Flora asked a question first. "Father. May I ask you something before asking that?"
"Sure..." King Julius nodded, still feeling a bit curious.
"How are my brothers and sisters? Are they doing fine?"
"..." Just hearing the question made him fall silent. "Do you want to become a queen? I personally don’t mind because you have the qualities, strength, and connections for it. That’s why I entrusted you with the Shadow Guards in the first place. Are they useful to you?"
"Yes. However, I have no intention of becoming a ruler. It’s just... I want to know their situations first. After stepping away from the throne, I don’t really follow their progress anymore."
"Sure. Right now, there are four big candidates. The first prince is currently the strongest faction. Once you leave the succession battle, half of your factions join him. So, he is currently doing very well.
"Personally, his personality is not too bad. Although he is quite rough, I don’t think he will make a foolish decision. However, further training is definitely needed.
"The second faction is led by the third princess. Well, maybe because you both are princesses, she is able to utilize her status and gender to gain more support. She is cunning in nature, but she is not a summoner. She can weigh her advantages and disadvantages carefully.
"She might be quite careful. While she won’t make any big changes when necessary, she will maintain the kingdom as stable as possible.
"The third faction is led by the second prince. The second prince is a combination of the first prince and the third princess. He is careful and cunning, but at the same time, his strength shouldn’t be underestimated.
"He can very well become a dark horse. He knows when to hide his fangs, but I’m a little worried.
"Unlike the third princess, his mind is a bit filled with darkness. If he ends up provoking your fiance, I don’t know what will happen to our kingdom. He will probably think that he can manipulate him... I don’t know if I should say this or not.
"Lastly, the pure fourth prince. He is quite pure and straightforward. That is good human nature, but it’s not necessarily a good king’s quality.
"He is also not a summoner, so he has to rely on people a lot. And his current faction is the weakest.
"You are not going to support someone after I tell you this, right?"
"I have mentioned it once, and I will say it again and again. No, I don’t have any interest in the throne war." Flora shook her head.
"In that case, why do you ask me about them?"
Flora hesitated for a few seconds. "Father. I’m afraid I have to become something beyond humans."
"Beyond human? Don’t tell me you want to fuse with the aliens? No, no matter how desperate you are, you shouldn’t abandon your humanity. Does Nathan even support that idea?"
"Let me finish." Flora waved down.
"All right." Julius nodded carefully. He took a deep breath to calm down.
"What I mean by going beyond humans is the limit of humans. I’m sure you are aware there are familiars who have transcended the realm of mortals, right?"
"!!!" Julius widened his eyes in shock. "You are going to become a goddess?"
"There are multiple ways of becoming one, but unfortunately, I can’t disclose them to anyone. However, the aliens are too strong. If they want to, just descending to this world will cause this world to be destroyed.
"That’s why Nathan and the others want to grow stronger... grow beyond human limits. That’s the only way to stop the aliens from destroying this world.
"I believe I can do that as well. I may not be able to compare myself against big geniuses such as Selena, Evelyn, or Luna. However, I believe I have enough potential."
"Well, how am I supposed to say this? Does that mean our royal blood ends up becoming divine blood? Oh..." After making that remark, he finally understood her concerns. "So, that’s the problem."
"Yes. I want to know whether they have a much bigger ambition. If I end up having a divinity, I’m afraid they’re going to take advantage of it." Flora sighed. "I don’t necessarily mind helping the kingdom, but I’m not the type who will let others take advantage of me for nothing. Besides, Nathan is not a pushover either.
"At the same time, if we end up having a conflict, what will people think about it? The Azilia Kingdom losing the favor of the gods? The reaction alone might end up causing the kingdom’s decline.
"That’s why I want to prevent it in one way or another. I personally don’t care who wins, but..." Flora shook her head helplessly.
Julius was happy that Flora could become a goddess. It was a glory that no other kingdom could have.
At the same time, the reaction from the people might become even more extreme. Once she became a goddess, people paid attention to her. With the Holy Kingdom going around to spread its doctrine, the people would react aggressively to anything involving divinity.
That was why her success could also become the downfall of the kingdom if they didn’t proceed carefully. In a way, people might follow her words more than the current ruler.
Julius looked down, contemplating. He had to find a solution.
