The Royal Family's attitude

Georgina Augustus is, in name, a Duke of the Royal Family, and is the sister of the current King George III.

She rarely interferes in the affairs of the Loen Kingdom, and is basically an idle person.

But it is precisely because she is a person with nothing to do that her sudden appearance seems so extraordinary.

Besides this Information that everyone already knew, Kronos also knew some other things.

Georgina Augustus still Sequence 4 of the Justiciar Pathway, a Imperative Mage.

Because of his particularly close blood relationship with George III, he was also one of the supporters of George III's deification.

Her arrival was likely at the behest of George III.

Regardless of whether she is an idle person or not, everyone will definitely go to greet someone of her stature.

So, led by Philip, Earl Hall, and Earl Levett, everyone around them headed towards the door.

Although the main character of this Banquet was Kronos, he had not yet inherited the title and was still of lower status than these nobles. Therefore, Kronos consciously lagged behind the three of them and walked behind them.

The focus of the entire Banquet was on walking outwards, naturally drawing the attention of others who were unaware of what was happening.

Some of the more curious people even followed these people towards the door.

They hadn't walked far when they ran into Georgina Augustus was heading inwards.

Kronos looked her over; Georgina's attire was fairly normal, just the most typical style of Loen noblewoman.

As George III's sister, she is naturally not young. It is probably because she was already quite old when she ascended to Demigod that she was unable to maintain a youthful appearance and looks to be around forty or fifty years old.

Kronos glanced at her and immediately sensed a familiar aura about her.

This serious and Majesty is very similar to that of Amyrius.

This is the unique quality of the Justiciar, which becomes even more apparent after becoming Disciplinary Paladin.

Upon seeing Georgina, Philip was the first to step forward and greet her.

"Duke Georgina, I didn't expect you to have time to attend my Banquet."

For Philip, Georgina was of equal rank to his, so there was no need for such deference.

Georgina smiled and said, "I happen to have some time, and I heard that a talented young man from the Kingdom has come to Backlund, so I'm naturally interested in coming to see him."

Earl Hall spoke first, introducing, "Duke Georgina, this is Kronos Argel, the only son of Marquis Argel."

Earl Hall's attitude became slightly more respectful.

Logically speaking, as one of the most powerful nobles in the Loen Kingdom, he shouldn't need to be so respectful to a leisurely Duke.

However, the New Party's success today is inseparable from the support of the Royal Family, so the Earl Hall's relationship with the Royal Family can be described as very close.

Therefore, Earl Hall was well aware that this leisurely Duke was, in fact, Confidant of King George III.

In a sense, she could represent the king's will.

Compared to Philip's casualness and Earl Hall's respect, Earl Levett's attitude was more subtle.

The purpose of Parliament was to weaken the power of the King, and the Conservative Party, which led the way within it, was naturally at the forefront.

Therefore, there is a natural conflict of interest between the Conservative Party and the Royal Family.

With support from various parties, the New Party gained more influence in this leadership transition.

To outsiders, the most important factors were the consistent support from the Church of Evernight and the crucial intervention of the Church of Steam and Machinery.

But a Conservative Party leader like the Earl Levett naturally knew more.

In this leadership transition, many regions that were originally neutral have directly sided with the New Party.

Neutrality does not mean being without power behind you; those without power have no right to step up.

They are neither members of the Conservative Party nor the New Party, because they are backed by the Royal Family.

The Loen Kingdom may seem to have transitioned into a constitutional monarchy, but it is far from it, as the Augustus Family still wields considerable control in many areas.

In order to give the New Party a greater voice and to facilitate the implementation of subsequent policies, George III basically laid out his cards in the open, directly standing in opposition to the Conservative Party.

Therefore, Earl Levett naturally wouldn't have a friendly attitude towards members of the Royal Family.

And there's another important guess involved.

Some within the Conservative Party have already suspected that the death of the Duke Negan was related to the Royal Family.

If it weren't for Philip's excellent handling of the situation, and if it weren't for Earl Levett's consistently cautious approach after taking over the Conservative Party, Old Negan's death would have inevitably caused Great Upheaval.

In the original novel, after Old Negan's death, the Conservative Party did indeed fall into chaos, almost allowing the New Party to become the new ruling party.

The current outcome is similar, except that the New Party now has the support of the Church of Steam and Machinery, so it can be considered a net effect.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the Conservative Party to have this speculation.

However, without concrete evidence, such speculation can only remain in one's mind and cannot be spoken aloud.

So Earl Levett simply nodded to Duke Georgina without saying a word.

Georgina showed no reaction to Earl Levett's attitude. Following the direction Earl Hall pointed, she saw Kronos.

"Kronos, is that right? You really look like your father."

This is actually similar to a standard way of greeting; whether Kronos and Marquis Argel look alike is completely irrelevant.

Upon hearing this, Kronos stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Duke Georgina, greetings, it's a pleasure to meet you."

After Kronos bowed, Georgina turned to Audrey: "Audrey, you're getting more and more beautiful. I wonder which of my nephews will end up with you."

Neither Audrey nor Earl Hall responded to this statement.

The Royal Family had always intended for Audrey to marry a prince, which was also a way to completely bind Earl Hall to the Royal Family's the Chariot.

However, Audrey had never shown any interest in the idea, and Earl Hall had never made a clear statement.

Earl Hall's fondness for his daughter was only one aspect; another was that, in his view, there was no benefit in marrying his daughter into the Royal Family.

Given Earl Hall's current status, it's practically impossible for him to advance any further.

Unless George III eliminates all the old-guard nobles of the Conservative Party, the New Party will have no chance of rising to the top, Earl Hall will not be able to become the most powerful person in the Loen Kingdom.

But what right did George III have to do this?

Eliminating the old noble families also indirectly weakens the strength of the Loen Kingdom.

With the Conservative Party out of power and the New Party in power, Earl Hall will inevitably stand against the Royal Family in order to secure his own power.

So, just to find a daughter-in-law, George III weakened the nation's power and turned his in-laws into adversaries. Isn't that something only a fool would do?

Therefore, Earl Hall had never shown much interest in a marriage alliance with the Royal Family family.

If Audrey herself is willing, Earl Hall certainly won't refuse, but if Audrey is unwilling, he won't bother to force his daughter.

Seeing that neither Audrey nor Earl Hall responded, Duke Georgina changed the subject and greeted several other acquaintances present.

After exchanging greetings, the group naturally returned to Negan Residence; there was no point in chatting at the entrance.

Back inside, Georgina's first words to Kronos were, "I heard you're planning to go into education?"

Kronos knew very well that Georgina's arrival was for him, so he quickly replied, "What I've always loved most is scientific research, and education and research complement each other."

"During my trip back to Backlund, I received an invitation from Professor Portland to Backlund Technical University."

Philip added from the side, "Kronos is the most talented researcher I've ever met; even Professor Portland values him highly."

Georgina laughed and said, "Of course I know that. Kronos was the youngest Technical Adviser on the Ironclad back then."

"The Loen Kingdom is truly blessed to have a young talent like you."

"His Majesty asked me to tell you: do a good job, the country needs pillars of society like you."

In Kronos's view, Duke Georgina probably came here in person just for this one sentence.

This statement represents George III's attitude.

Prince Grove's investigation into the Marquis Argel has also come to an end.

The conclusion drawn is that Kronos was indeed the only son of the Marquis Argel, and he had no other illegitimate children.

This conclusion further increased the Royal Family's trust in the Argel Family.

That's why George III sent Georgina Rian Kronos.

The complicated history between the Argel Family and Augustus Family is unknown to outsiders, but how could the heirs of the Argel Family not know?

So George III was expressing an idea.

As long as you behave yourselves, the Augustus Family will not have any ill intentions towards you.

With his plan to become a god on the horizon, George III naturally didn't want trivial matters to disrupt his plans.

If he can successfully become the Black Emperor, not only the Argel Family, but even the True God Churches within the territory of Loen will have to accept his rule.

To outsiders, these words might seem like mere encouragement, but Kronos understood their true meaning.

So Kronos nodded and said, "The Argel Family and I will certainly not let His Majesty down."

Upon hearing Kronos's reply, Georgina nodded. Clearly, Kronos was a smart man; he understood what she meant.

After delivering the message, Georgina stopped talking to Kronos and started chatting with other people.

After chatting for a while, Georgina said goodbye and left, making her the last to arrive and the first to leave.

After leaving Negan Residence, Georgina went straight to the Royal Palace.

Even though it was very late, George III did not rest.

Since he devised his plan to become a god, he has rarely rested. He is either perfecting his plan or, with Adam's help, digesting the Potion ahead of schedule.

After Georgina approached George III, she said directly, "The message has been delivered, and Kronos is a smart man; he understood it all."

George III glanced at Georgina and then asked, "What Sequence is Kronos in now?"

This is also one of Georgina's tasks: to determine Kronos's Sequence. If his talent is too good, she still needs to pay close attention.

Georgina said, "His talent is really impressive; he's already at Sequence 6."

"You know about that deceptive secret manual from the Argel Family. It's quite remarkable that he was able to break through to Sequence 7 in such a short time."

George III nodded and said nothing.

His talent is indeed quite good, but it's practically impossible for Sequence 6 to influence his plans.

If Kronos is already at Sequence 5 at this point, then you need to be a little careful.

Once he ascends to Demigod before the Apotheosis Ritual, he will be qualified to disrupt the Apotheosis Ritual.

But how could George III and Georgina have imagined that the little lamb they saw was actually a dragon?

For an Angel wearing Concealment Scarf, concealing her power from a Demigod couldn't be easier.

Therefore, thanks to Kronos's performance, the Augustus Family's attention to the Argel Family dropped to a minimum.

Kronos went to the Backlund Technical University Backlund his second day in Backlund.

At this Kronos, nothing was more important than digesting his Potion.

So he can't wait to start teaching.

It would be so nice if Portland could gather the entire student body together for a big lecture.

Upon arriving at Portland's office, Kronos saw a little girl in addition to Portland.

Upon seeing Kronos, Portland exclaimed in surprise, "You just returned to Backlund, what brings you to the school?"

"Want to go to class? How about it? Are you ready?" Kronos asked impatiently.

Portland rolled his eyes and said, "You just told me about this yesterday, where am I supposed to start a new course for you this morning?"

As the principal, it's easy for him to start a class, but Kronos's goal isn't just to have a class; he needs enough students to attend.

To get students to take this course willingly, it will take time to communicate with them.

Kronos understood the reasoning behind it, but he was a little impatient.

Portland continued, "I'll have the professors try communicating with the students this afternoon; you'll just have to wait patiently."

"If you don't have anything urgent to attend to, why don't you take the time to familiarize yourself with Backlund Technical University?"

"This is my student, Melissa Moretti. Let her show you around."
