Prince-electors

The discovery of the White Tower Family's descendants was no coincidence; it was a testament to the enduring memory of this event.

When Rosela, in her Deity Grade as Witch, re-established the court of the Second Sera Empire in Westerhand, the capital of the Northern Continent.

Even if she didn't say it, someone would naturally carry out her ideas.

Many among the court nobles knew that in recent years, besides missing her daughter, Rosela had also considered leaving Femore Heavenly Land.

But if she leaves, to whom will this vast empire be passed down?

Rosela herself had no children other than Geruiya, and her family was wiped out by the Ruling Witch.

so.

The nobles were finding it difficult to find a suitable heir.

They had actually mentioned that the heirs of the several noble families who had previously married into the White Tower Family should inherit the Second Sera Empire.

For example, the Lawrence Family, the Red Maple Family, the Ronald Family, and so on.

But Rosela refused.

because.

She knew all too well what changes would occur in the future of the empire and its policies if her successor was not a descendant of her family.

certainly.

She didn't care about the future of the Second Sera Empire, but she did care about Geruiya's fate.

She has just restored Geruiya's reputation, allowing the entire Femore Continent to once again come to know this great Empress.

If someone from outside the White Tower Family were to ascend the throne and take over the Kingship...

Soon, Geruiya will disappear from the voice of the Empire.

so.

She is waiting.

Even now.

It's finally here.

When a Legendary Knight from the Church of the God of War brought a young boy into the court of the Sera Empire.

Rosela used the bloodline magic that she had used to Ruling Witch in order to find the bloodline of the White Tower Family.

The bloodline magic glowed a vibrant red light.

This is enough to prove that the boy is indeed a descendant of the White Tower Family left behind in the outside world.

This left Rosela deeply moved.

"Great Creator, Great War God Youlun, Great Witch of the Moon Mosela, thank you for your blessings, which allowed me to find the final blood of the White Tower!"

She crouched down and asked the boy.

"Child, what's your name?"

"Your Majesty, my name is Rhine."

Rhine!

Upon hearing this name, Rosela felt a jolt.

She remembered something her daughter, Geruiya, had said to her many years ago.

"Mother, when I have children in the future, I won't name them Geruiya. It's too delicate."

"If I have children, I'll name a boy Rhine and a girl Tylena!"

Lions and tigers are worthy of her sons and daughters.

Could it be...?

Did Geruiya and her child escape the massacre?

Thinking of this, Rosela looked at the boy with his head down and spoke.

"Child, lift your head."

Let me see your eyes.

The boy obediently looked up, revealing a pair of purple eyes.

Upon seeing those eyes, Rosela's expression was a mixture of joy and anger.

Because those purple eyes belong to that cruel woman, Tashaluona.

She took a deep breath, composed herself, and asked with a smile.

"Child, what are your parents' names?"

She didn't ask how his parents were. He was brought here alone, so his parents were most likely deceased.

"Your Majesty, I have no mother, but my father is also named Rhine. He said that as long as our family is still wandering, every eldest son will be named Rhine."

"I see."

Rosela suddenly understood.

"This is the original Rhine, perhaps the son of Geruiya, who used this method to pass on his bloodline and information."

She looked at the little boy with gentle eyes and asked.

"And what are your surnames?"

"We have no surnames, Your Majesty."

The boy lowered his head.

"That's a privilege reserved for noble gentlemen."

Rosela smiled gently, patted his head, and said...

"Rhine, from this day forward, you are my heir. From this day forward, you will receive a noble surname: White Tower."

"The White Tower of the Rhine."

She summoned a palace eunuch and announced it.

"Announce to the public: I have found the remaining bloodline of the White Tower Family. I will train him for three years. After three years, Rhine White Tower will Meeting the imperial nobles as the crown prince."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The eunuch nodded respectfully.

"And let those people who have been busy finding me a successor stop now."

"The empire has a new heir."

"Yes."

The eunuch respectfully withdrew.

He will inform the Prime Minister and ministers of this matter.

Then.

Rosela looked at the Knight of the Church of the God of War and smiled.

"Knight Moro, I thank the Church of the God of War for escorting the White Tower Family's bloodline to my court. The Sera Empire will forever remember this kindness."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged Knight from the Church of the God of War also laughed.

"Your Majesty Rosela, the White Tower Family has been believers of our Lord Youlun for generations. It is something we are willing to do to help a descendant of a devout family."

"The Church of the God of War's influence in the Eastern Continent is not strong. The fact that you went to the trouble of finding the White Tower family's bloodline must have taken considerable effort. Rest assured, the Second Sera Empire will not forget this kindness."

Rosela laughed.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

The Legendary Knight happily withdrew.

He achieved his goal.

Rosela, holding the boy's hand, walked step by step God the Throne of the empire.

Three years have passed.

Rosela appeared before the imperial nobles with Rhine White Tower, who had already been taught etiquette and knowledge.

His status as Crown Prince was Formal announced.

Ten years have passed.

Rhine White Tower is sixteen years old.

His character was greatly appreciated by Rosela.

In particular, he showed compassion for the lower classes and cared for ordinary people.

However, his only shortcoming was that, although his natural talent was not outstanding, both his Transcendent talent and his political skills were quite mediocre.

His abilities might be more than enough to control a Kingdom, but they would be absolutely insufficient to govern a colossal empire encompassing five continents.

Rosela's original plan to leave at this time also failed to materialize.

After careful consideration.

For the sake of the White Tower Family's survival, Rosela made a decision.

She personally tore apart the Second Sera Empire, abolished the provincial system, allowed imperial nobles to establish their own kingdoms, and made the imperial emperor, apart from controlling the Northern Continent, merely a figurehead empire.

then.

She selected nineteen of the most powerful families or races from among the imperial nobles and the original powerful forces of the empire who were related to the White Tower Family by blood, and bestowed upon them the title of Electors. After Rhine White Tower's death, they could become emperors of the empire through election.

Even the Elf Queen was given the title of Elector.

In other words, the imperial throne will no longer be passed down in the hands of the White Tower Family.

at last.

She designated a large area in the Northern Border of the Northern Continent as the direct territory of the Imperial Family, belonging to the White Tower Family.
