Chapter 218
Emperor Subiteo had only just come to his senses after Remus's downfall.
Of course, his sudden lucidity wasn’t out of concern for his daughter being married off to another country. Rather, it was the backlash he feared if he did send her away that spurred his panic.
“The Emperor is in a very precarious position right now.”
Due to successive policy failures and his connection to several criminal scandals, his approval ratings had already hit rock bottom.
He had tried to use the ceremony of honor to divert the public’s criticism away from himself—but that had backfired spectacularly.
In fact, there were now calls to expedite the formal appointment of a crown prince as soon as the ceremony ended.
“...Wow.”
Leonia clicked her tongue.
It’s a miracle this country hasn’t collapsed yet.
She was genuinely impressed by the Empire’s political structure.
If it weren’t for the semi-federal nature of its autonomous regions, the Bellius Empire would have crumbled long ago.
With that in mind, Leonia could now understand how stifled and frustrated the Voreoti family must have felt all this time.
