Mushoku Tensei: Reincarnated as a Beast Race

Without Rygar noticing, Linia had become part of his family. After all, she was Ghislaine’s niece.

The main lineage of the Doldia and Dedoldia clans was considered the royalty of the beast races’ territory.

Now, with Gustav occupying the nominal throne of the Kingdom of Gaia, Linia still carried that status, although it was more symbolic than real. Unlike traditional kingdoms, in Gaia, noble lineage was not the most important factor.

Strength was what truly commanded respect. Almost nothing had changed in that regard.

Everyone knew that Gustav sat on the throne only because Rygar, the Beast God, willed it so. Gustav was like a regent, dealing with bureaucracies, audiences, meetings, and all the administrative functions befitting a king.

Of course, he had extremely competent advisers, and his authority was undeniable. But everyone knew that the true loyalty of Gaia’s people lay with Rygar.

He was the hero of the beast race, the Third Beast God, the warrior who destroyed the sacred country.

As long as he was present, no fool would dare raise a rebellion. No one would be stupid enough to challenge Gaia’s government.

Would there be assassination attempts against Gustav? Probably.

But Saint McEarntown, the same legendary warrior who once protected the old king of Milis, was now the personal guard of the king of Gaia.

That meant not even seasoned assassins could breach security easily.

But it was evident that Rygar held more power than the nominal king. And that was not questioned by absolutely anyone.
