Chapter 80: King Lisat
Mepeilu’s pressure was too much!
“Mm, I understand. In about a week, I should be able to send it to Her Highness Liana.”
Since this was a new technique, it wasn’t yet fully mastered and required more time.
“How is it? Does the royal cuisine suit your taste?” Mepeilu asked. “If you need anything, just place your hand on that magic book, and someone will come immediately.”
Magic again. It seemed that the demand for magic in the Lisat royal capital had increased significantly. People unable to use magic were probably struggling to find a place for themselves.
However, the number of people who could use magic was also increasing rapidly. Before long, the number of those unable to use magic might become the minority.
Even so, this kind of discrimination made Liana feel quite uncomfortable.
“It looks like without magic, it’s impossible to take even a step in Lisat’s royal capital,” Liana sighed. Five years ago, things hadn’t been like this.
“This was the decision of the First Prince, Hodwin Lisat. He believes that those unable to use magic will inevitably become a burden to Lisat. No matter what, the contributions of non-magic users can never surpass those who can wield magic.”
“The old king doesn’t think that way, does he?” Liana questioned. The Lisat King shouldn’t be fond of such policies.
“His Majesty the King has almost no involvement in the kingdom’s affairs anymore. He has handed everything over to the three princes for governance. Right now, it’s a state of precarious stability—after all, there are three princes.”
“If someone wants to target one of them, they must also be wary of the other two. Since none of the heirs can eliminate the others outright, they can only focus on completing their own tasks.”
