Chapter 706: Had A Lot to Say About His Prank
I believe we have both learned from our history books and neighboring kingdoms that as a king, you do not necessarily have to be at the frontlines to win a war.
I know it is important for the sake of the knights and soldiers’ morale but you do not have to be the one that leads the war. I’m not saying this to make you a coward. I simply mean that we can be strategic as other rulers have done.
Because first and foremost, your life and well-being are of utmost importance to us and all of Lobelius; so please never use them as collateral.
Moreover, someone who asks for your health or your life in exchange for something clearly does not have well wishes for Lobelius.
Without you to reign as King once our respected parents pass the throne to you (which seems to be soon), our younger siblings would be at a loss and our land would be in turmoil.
The status quo and balance of power Lobelius currently has from how you and our parents had worked hard to build all these years would collapse because the nobles who supported you would fight over who to place on the throne next and blame each other on why you had gone through such lengths.
I know you must not want to depend on Valeria too much but please give me a bit of credit. Give me some trust and count it as the result of my hard work.
After all, Valeria will not blindly help anyone either. Thus, I’m doing my best to be a useful Empress. The better I function here, the more help Lobelius will get.
I promise I will do everything I can to ensure this marriage alliance works as how it should. I will get Valeria’s support no matter what in case Lobelius needs help.
