Mother Marianne's heartfelt words had undoubtedly infuriated Effie.

From the deadly hunt against the Witch's Cult over the past period, Murphy could tell what kind of person Miss Effie was.

She wasn't the sort of coward who would abandon her homeland in a crisis. The problem was that Mother Marianne's sensible advice had also pointedly highlighted the most fatal problem facing the people of Helms.

The former island of traitors had simply resisted the powerful in order to preserve its independence. But thirty years ago, after the Plantagenet Kingdom was established, the Isa exiles who refused to submit to the new regime fled to Helms. The two forces, once enemies, then underwent a rather strange "ecological transformation."

Not only did they join forces, they also combined the Helms people's simple goal of winning independence with the restoration of the Kingdom of Isa.

It was a truly, utterly terrible move.

Especially given that King Louis had spent the past thirty years governing diligently, constantly improving the strength of the entire Plantagenet Kingdom and even driving reforms in productivity. The exiles who still sought to restore the Kingdom of Isa's rightful rule had become nothing but clowns, and the number of ordinary people who supported them was rapidly dwindling.

As Professor Chen, the foreign friend of Mother Marianne who preferred to remain anonymous, had summed up the matter:

This was simply the historical cycle of dynastic change!

And now that King Louis's achievements over the past thirty years had proved that the Plantagenet Kingdom he founded was better than the old Kingdom of Isa in every respect, it was only natural that the extremist forces longing to restore the old kingdom would be abandoned.

It was against this backdrop of shifting fortunes that the people of Helms had taken this extreme action.
