�Then there will be a total of four factions? Those red dots on the map?�

�Yes, Mr. Bud.�

Rosalyn looked at the map and continued to speak.

�There are four factions and the southern faction currently has the strongest forces.�

Bud started to think.

�If factions are being created�

And these factions even have royal family members��

�Then it seems obvious that a revolt would happen, so why did you say that it was only 50/50?�

Bud looked around the table. He could see Cale happily munching away at his steak. However, Cale�s eyes were focused on Rosalyn�s map.

�It is because the capital is a fortress.�

He heard Rosalyn�s response.

North, South, East, West. All four of those factions were aiming for the throne.

They also valued their own safety.

That was why these four factions who were not allied. All of them wanted the throne but they could not easily make a move.

�The soldiers who were left behind by the Imperial Prince during the Mogoru Empire�s war against the Whipper Kingdom.�

The Whipper Kingdom�s battle that had been filled with golems and the black despair.

Imperial Prince had left the soldiers behind and ran away at that battle. He had even left dead mana bombs to kill those soldiers.

But those soldiers had survived.

And then�

�They are always at the capital.�

They were all brave warriors.

These warriors were not just infantry soldiers either. There were knights, archers, and other specialists within the ranks. JrNovels.com
