Chapter 1089: Chapter 570: If You Cause Trouble in the Future, Just Don’t Tell Anyone I Taught You

But illness eventually found its way to him.

Since last winter, his body had significantly weakened, and he fell gravely ill. By summer, there had been little improvement, making it unlikely for him to endure until the next winter.

Although Louis XI was still the Crown Prince, he had already begun regency. Starting last winter, he virtually took over royal authority and implemented a series of targeted adjustments.

Back then, Byron spoke to Meghane Magnyra, the illegitimate daughter of Richard VII, half-sister of Prince Sorrenberg, and his aunt:

"The most important thing as a governor is to make money.

If you don’t, and I don’t, how can Commissioner Philip make money? How can everyone progress?

You are the youngest daughter. If you fleece more wool from the old man, at most, he’ll turn a blind eye.

When your brother takes the throne in the future, it won’t be that easy to fleece anymore."

Now, those words ironically came true.

Magnyra was recalled by Louis XI from the lucrative colonies, publicly replaced by a male favorite with whom he had an ambiguous relationship.

Now, she was not even allowed to visit her seriously ill father.

When they first met, Louis XI’s disgust and aversion to women were barely concealed.

It almost enraged Jacqueline, known as the [Chameleon], who was known for her wild nature with her cousin in murder and arson.

Jacqueline liked girls, while Louis XI preferred delicate youths. Although they had no "business" conflicts, they found each other unbearable.

Byron had recently written several war songs tailored for her and Magnyra. Both mother and daughter were just a step away from being Fourth Order Heroes, and with these original songs, they might be able to challenge the Fourth Order.

Thankfully, Magnyra held her back, avoiding a scene.

"Hmph, cousin’s maternal grandmother is the Iris Princess, with a strong claim to the Iris.

Together with Uncle Louis, they are the last living male descendants of the Iris Valois Dynasty’s bloodline.

Now that chaotic times are upon us, giving the throne to this man-loving uncle who can’t have children, waiting for the dynasty to end, why not just hand it over to the cousin instead."

Richard VII had fourteen legitimate children and three illegitimate daughters, but most died young from unfortunate circumstances.

Louis XI was the only male member of the Valois royal family left.

Byron’s grandfather, [Iris Flower Hammer] Henry V, and uncle [Mad King] Henry VI, both served as legitimate Iris Kings for several years.

They were considered extremely blue-blooded.

Many of the Hightins nobility were intermarried with the Iris, and many even held titles in both countries.

Thus, in terms of identity, law, and bloodline, Byron had no issues becoming the king of the Iris Kingdom.

Moreover, the Iris Kingdom occupied the richest lands on the Continent, with nearly twenty million people, always being one of the economic centers of the Continent.

As the saying goes: A King of Hightins who doesn’t pursue Iris lands is not a good king. Essentially, the Hundred Years’ War between the two countries was a battle of succession rights and royal power.

Mother and daughter exchanged glances, suddenly finding great potential in this matter and couldn’t help but lower their voices:

"We’ll talk about it when we get back."

Meanwhile, in another corner of the Royal Capital’s Elysee Palace.

A nimble figure, seizing the moment when Louis XI went to the Red Maple White Dew Palace to conspire with confidants to eliminate the nearby stationed "Impoverished Knights Order," stealthily slipped out of the palace.

It was the "Traitor" known for his limping gait.

In the past, faced with such a major event, he would have eagerly jumped into the fray. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Adding a few strokes to the "History of the Silver Continent" to make the development of the situation more bizarre and complicated, maximizing the depletion of various forces on the Continent and the power of the Silver Law.

However, now, all his authority and strange arts were suppressed by the fractured "Divine Aspect," leaving him with only his innate mind realm to utilize.

As a "Traitor," being only able to use human power was a huge irony for him.

Yet, every time he opened the "History of the Silver Continent," the righteousness-driven "Divine Aspect" couldn’t resist trying to write his own demise.

Only in avoiding this fate did the two personas rarely reach a consensus on escape.

The "Traitor" shivered as he looked at the increasingly distant Elysee, instinctively touching his backside, his handsome face contorted:

"Louis XI! The humiliation I suffered during this time, I will demand it back, with interest."

Then he turned and disappeared into a narrow alley.

Unaware that a Raven had quietly followed behind him.
