Chapter 750: The Responsibility of Royalty
They then slowly grew their numbers and tried to convince more people to join them.
As more nobles rallied to their cause over the years, the group’s influence grew stronger. Their ultimate goal was to place Sebastian on the throne, believing his rule would enable them to enact the reforms they envisioned for Crux.
However, the Ruela Household remained formidable, maintaining significant power despite the increasing number of the revolutionaries.
Queen Trista had managed to gather to her side the most powerful households in Crux. Thus, even with Alba Household on the revolutionary’s side along with other nobles, they still could not defeat the Ruela Household.
They had gone as far as trying to assassinate Queen Trista to lessen the Ruela Household’s influence but all their attempts had failed as she remained vigilant and adept at foiling their plots.
After all, Queen Trista was wary since she was one to plot and had continuously tried several attempts to assassinate the twins. Thus, she was prepared for such things.
In one of their attempts to dethrone Queen Trista and make a coup to seize the throne while the King was in Medeus with the twins, the revolutionary group lost the lives of a lot of their members.
The repeated failures led many in the revolutionary group to despair, echoing the sentiments of others who believed their cause to be hopeless.
Recognizing the seeming futility of their efforts, Jacob and Emily, now leaders from the commoners’ side, urged Sebastian and Seraphina to abandon their troubled homeland for a chance at a better future in a foreign kingdom.
