Caesar's words silenced the entire hall. Everyone was stunned; this way of cursing was truly novel and had a peculiar angle.

But... why does it feel so good?

"Good!! Well said!"

Someone started it, and the previously quiet atmosphere was immediately broken. Many voices echoed, causing Caesar to puff out his chest and look arrogantly at the several White Wolf Kingdom people opposite him, whose faces were ashen.

This was the first time he had been praised for swearing since he was born, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment, as if his hobby had been recognized by everyone.

That's right, insulting and verbally abusing people was Caesar's hobby.

While Caesar was enthusiastically criticizing, Logo remained silent, his eyes gleaming as he observed the noisy scene around him.

He could understand the feelings of everyone inside the palace.

The so-called White Wolf Kingdom is a country established a hundred years ago after the catastrophe that ravaged the Royal Court.

Back then, the Rising Sun Peninsula had become the main territory of the Royal Court, and even the capital city was ranked Western Capital. One can imagine how many Gendaya People and Gray-Eyed Blood Descendants lived on this land.

With hundreds of millions of intelligent beings at stake, the Dawn Empire would never dare to risk universal condemnation by carrying out a complete genocide. If it did, the Holy See would inevitably be isolated by the international community.

Therefore, the Dawn Pope at the time simply ordered the massacre of the die-hards who stubbornly resisted. This action undoubtedly greatly deterred the remaining Blood Descendant.

Ultimately, with the intervention of the Son of the White Wolf, more and more resistance forces surrendered, and a year later, in the year 1578 of the Royal Court, the White Wolf Kingdom was officially established, and the Son of the White Wolf, Diriel, was crowned king.

Because the Pure Blood Faction Gendaya People were almost all die-hards, after a series of massacres, very few pure- Blood Clan remained.

Therefore, the foundation upon which the White Wolf Kingdom was established was the Gray-Eyed Blood Descendants.

Under these circumstances, the White Wolf Kingdom did not experience a conflict between ancient and new blood, unlike the Royal Court.

In this country, the power of new blood holds absolute dominance.

Under the influence of education and public opinion, in just a few years, the Gray-Eyed Blood Descendants on the Rising Sun Peninsula developed a deeper sense of identity with the White Wolf Kingdom and a stronger sense of cohesion.

As time went by, the concept of citizenship in the White Wolf Kingdom became deeply ingrained in people's minds.

They even began to see themselves as the new Gendaya Tribe, viewing the Royal Court as a corrupt and decadent regime that should be completely overthrown, and believing that only new blood represented the future of the Gendaya Tribe.

Furthermore, due to the bloodline curse imposed by the Dawn Empire, the stronger and purer the bloodline, the greater the impact, thus greatly limiting the power of the Old Blood Faction.

For those with Gray-Eyed Blood Descendants, this is actually a good thing in some ways.

While the New Blood Faction is also affected by the curse, it is far less affected than the Ancient Blood faction.

Furthermore, the Gray-Eyed Blood Descendants's reproduction rate far exceeds that of the pure-blooded Gendaya People, making the population growth rate of the White Wolf Kingdom extremely terrifying.

With the help of the Dawn Empire, the White Wolf Kingdom developed at an extremely rapid pace. In just a hundred years, the overall national strength of the White Wolf Kingdom has become very close to that of the Royal Court.

Although there is still a significant gap in military strength, China has already surpassed Japan in economic terms.

Furthermore, as their strength increased, the White Wolf Kingdom began to consider unifying the entire Gendaya Tribe.

Over the past thirty years, the White Wolf Kingdom has begun to adjust its diplomatic strategy, shifting from hardline confrontation to a defensive approach.

They adopted a soft offensive, playing the emotional card and trying every means to win over the New Blood Faction of the Royal Court. In the face of the Royal Court's military offensive, they only defended and avoided escalating the hatred between the two sides.

This series of moves, aimed at peaceful evolution, has had a tremendous impact.

Many New Blood Faction defected and joined the White Wolf Kingdom, and even some Old Blood Faction who were pessimistic about the future of the Royal Court defected to the White Wolf Kingdom.

Although the number of defectors is not large compared to the overall size of the Royal Court.

But this is not a matter of quantity; it concerns national morale and national spirit.

Once morale and spirit drop to a certain critical point, the Royal Court estimates that it will only have two options left.

It either disintegrates completely and is divided up by various parties.

They would either become a complete vassal state of the Corte Alliance and lose their sovereignty.

That said, the current predicament of the Royal Court is largely due to the White Wolf Kingdom.

Anyone who identifies more with the Royal Court will naturally feel aversion and hostility towards the White Wolf Kingdom.

This is why Caesar's angry rant was met with thunderous applause.

Indeed, his words struck a chord with everyone present.

Enraged by the outburst, the already short-tempered Sword of the Kingdom, Ademu, stood up and met Caesar's provocative gaze with a cold smile, "No matter how sharp your tongue is, you can't change the fact that she is the princess's bloodline. She is my king's niece and the rightful heir to my White Wolf Kingdom. This is written in the ' Kingdom Succession Law '."

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent.

All eyes turned to Qiya again, their expressions clearly complex, and some even had a strange glint in their eyes.

Yes, in any case, the current White Wolf Duke's blood relationship with King Diriel of the White Wolf King will not change, and she even has the legitimate right to inherit the throne of the White Wolf Kingdom.

Some even suspect that the betrayal of the Son of the White Wolf was a scheme orchestrated by the White Wolf Clan.

The goal is to establish a kingdom that belongs entirely to the White Wolf Clan, just as it is now, and for generations to come, the White Wolf Clan's bloodline will rule.

Unlike the Gendaya Royal Court, the kingship was not hereditary.

Although this conspiracy theory has many flaws and is completely untenable, that's just how human nature is; people always tend to think in the dark.

Facing the intense gazes of many, Qiya took a step back, her face pale. Her slightly thin body trembled slightly, and the hatred and negative emotions she had just suppressed began to surge again.

Upon seeing this, the Grand Elder thought to himself, "This is bad." Ademu's words were veiled attacks, not only sowing discord within the Royal Court but also delivering a fatal blow to Qiya. He had to stop him immediately, otherwise...

Thinking of this, the Grand Elder was about to speak when Logo stepped forward first, standing in front of Qiya to shield her from all gazes.

The shadow that disappeared from sight made Qiya look up. The tall, straight back in front of her made her stunned. For some reason, the negative emotions surging in her heart were Miracle suppressed. In the depths of her dark heart, it was as if a ray of light shone in, just like the dark space of the Silver Star Spear, where the stars were lit up.

The elder smiled, looking at Logo with satisfaction, a multitude of thoughts swirling in his mind.

"This lad seems to have a sense of responsibility; if he were king..."
