Chapter 149 Skyfall Kingdom's Critical Period. "I do not know what the kingdom wants with the Royal Harem; however, I do have a theory in my mind," Alger answered. "What is your theory?" Nux questioned, however, inwardly, he was surprised. 'He can think something through? What? Why didn't I know that?' "The Skyfall kingdom is going through tough times right now, Master Nux," Alger muttered. "Huh? But I heard that it was the strongest among the 3 kingdoms? Is that not the case?" Nux frowned. "It is as you say, Master Nux. However, Skyfall Kingdom is facing a critical period right now." "Critical Period?" "Yes, 20 years later, the king will abdicate his throne and one of his heirs will become the next king. Initially, it wasn't much of a problem since the crown prince practically had no competition, he was strong and had Duke Fulvianus supporting him from behind. However, in the last 50-60 years, the Third Prince's cultivation has increased by leaps and bounds. The third prince, who is 89 years old, is already at the peak of the Grand Master Stage which is similar to the first prince, who is 122 years old. Duke Merula, who was supporting the Third Prince didn't fail to use this fact and started gaining support from other nobles. 'If the Third Prince is as strong as the first prince even though he is 33 years younger than him, then doesn't that mean the potential the Third Prince has is a lot higher compared to the First Prince? Won't the Kingdom see unprecedented growth if it is under a genius like Third Prince?' Words like these were spread around and many nobles started supporting the Third Prince. This started the spark, it was not a rebellion, it was an appeal, an appeal to make the Third Prince, Lovis Skyfall, the crown prince of the Skyfall Kingdom. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦 The Appeal, however, was rejected. But, everything wasn't in vain. The First Prince, Raguel Skyfall, lost the title of the Crown Prince. This added fuel to the fire. Since the Crown prince position was now empty, The Fourth prince, Evander Skyfall, who had the support of Duke Centho, joined in as well. When it was noted that three out of four Duke supported the Three Princes, all eyes fell on Duke Vestalis, the remaining Duke. Most of them thought of him as the breaking point, however, the Duke declared his neutrality on the matter. The person he wanted to support, the Second Princess Quiriana Skyfall was not interested in the Throne and didn't participate in this race. With this, the politics inside the Skyfall kingdom is now revived with three Major Princes fighting with each other, each having a Duke Supporting them from behind. Since historic times, these were the times when most of the Kingdoms fell, this is why I said that the Skyfall Kingdom is going through a Critical Period. As for why the Kingdom of Skadi is interested in the Royal Harem, I assume that it is because they are trying to 'support' a prince from behind the scenes as well. The Fifth Prince, Lucas Skyfall, should be their target, since the man doesn't have any support from any major noble, he would be happy to have a Kingdom supporting him from behind. I am sure someone like him wouldn't mind being a puppet King. Of course, that is just my prediction." Alger reported. The more he spoke, the more Nux realized that this Alger might not be as useless as he initially thought. He knew a lot more than Felberta, that's for sure. Of course, that wasn't Felberta's fault either. She was a Viscount, it is normal for a Marquee like Alger to know more about the situation than a Viscount like her. 'Haaahhh…' Finally, Nux shook his head and sighed. The situation was a lot more complicated than he initially thought. Everything within the kingdom was okay, however, he didn't expect the Kingdom of Skadi to play it like this. Of course, as Alger said, it was just his prediction, what he said might be wrong however, Nux had a feeling that he was right. Just the fact that the Kingdom of Skadi controls 2 Marquees' houses inside the Skyfall Kingdom tells that the Kingdom of Skadi isn't simple. 'I was too na?ve. The way I think isn't broad enough; I am unable to think about all the situations at the same time. I need to improve.' Nux realized. 'Why wouldn't a kingdom use this golden chance to try and take over the other kingdom? This is the prime time to do whatever they wanted. They would be fools if they miss this chance. It's a perfectly logical move on their part. Now the question is… what should be my next move?' Nux questioned inwardly and started thinking about the current problem more deeply. However, in the end, he shook his head and sighed. It was not the time yet. He needs to discuss everything with his girls. Only then could he come up with something. "Alright, I heard you, I will think a little more about all this, you can go now. As for what to say to that maid, I'll tell you later." Nux turned towards Alger and instructed. "Yes," Alger nodded and left. Inwardly, Alger was happy. 'Heh, I showed my worth, I hope I won't get treated badly from now on. I don't want to call Miss One every single day, though she left me alive yesterday and acted a little different from before, I have this feeling that she will kill me if I keep calling her like that. Haahhh… Master Nux, please don't treat me badly from now on…' Yes, that was all the marquee wanted now. To live a normal, tension-free life. Nux didn't know what was going inside Alger's mind. His mind was already filled with other thoughts, in the end, he decided to meet Felberta. A small smile appeared on his face when he thought about it. Being serious did not suit him. He should spend time with his beloved women. He will think about other things later. Hehe~
