Chapter 225.1
Eroding Malice
“Everyone, I’m very happy that you’ve taken time out of your busy schedules to come here today.”
An evening party hosted by the First Princess Elena was being held at one of the guesthouses in the royal capital.
The guests included ambassadors from various countries staying in the kingdom. From within the kingdom, the nobles who are all allies of the royal family were also in attendance.
The neighboring countries also had their own plans. They were staring at the First Princess, trying to find flaws in her character, such as issues with tariffs and interests after she became king.
Elena noticed their gazes, but looked at them coldly with a smile.
We should be careful in our relationships with our neighboring countries. Of the other countries we invited, the only ones that are important are the great Khalfaan Empire, the trading nation of the Ganzar United Kingdom, the Kingdom of Kanhar, which is for connecting with the north, and the Theocracy of Fandora, the headquarters of the Holy Church.
Of course, friendly relations with the neighboring countries are important, but the various things the nobles have done have caused more harm than good. In particular, the agricultural industry in the region was hit hard by the large amount of wheat imported by the nobles from the Solhoss Kingdom.
But Elena was more angry at herself than anything.
It is true that she was unable to eliminate her brother and his associates from the very beginning, without the cooperation of Melrose and Dandol, but she still thought that she could resolve the situation peacefully through political maneuvering alone. However, when she realized that her opponent was so thoughtless, it became difficult to eliminate them politically.
