Chapter 145 - 114: Witch Anna’s Transformation of the Redwood Forest (5166)_2
"I intend to make the redwood saplings grow again on this land, to let the humans of Ambros understand that all these mistakes originated from their Mortal King Rosamond, whom they worship as a god."
"Therefore, I need to do another thing, to ensure that Rosamond only has bastards, unable to give birth to legitimate heirs with his wife—the Duchess. In this way, Rosamond will certainly face misfortune in his later years. Without a legitimate successor, the state will inevitably fall into division and civil war."
"He will tragically die amidst the squabbling of his sons for the throne. He will live to see his great achievements crumble and disperse, as though they had never existed."
"This is the cruelest punishment for any ambitious ruler."
"He worked hard his entire life, only to see everything easily reduced to ashes in his old age by his own sons."
"But what’s more important is that once this happens, the people of Viscount Ambrose’s Independent Country would not pay attention to the Clock Kingdom. The civil war will cause them to lose the historical facts that they have already hidden. And in the end, the people of Ambros will forget about the Clock Kingdom completely, which is what I hope for."
"They will not even remember how to restore the Thousand-Year Fire, or why the Thousand-Year Fire goes out periodically. Once such unprecedented upheaval occurs, even if Ambros manages to barely recover, the internal structure and heritage will inevitably be lost."
"During this process, I have another powerful supporter for my revenge—Pan."
"I admit I underestimated him in the past. He is a good friend, always appearing at my side when I’m most desolate, guiding me, forecasting for me, pointing to outcomes that benefit me. If I had listened to him sooner, I wouldn’t have ended up in this state."
