章 67: Bonds of Support

Finally, the drama at Redwood Manor wrapped up.

It left nobles buzzing with gossip for days.

After some advice from Vritra, Princess Luciana decided she couldn't show any weakness to someone who was plotting against the crown and even trying to take her life.

Being the highest authority in the hall, she ordered the immediate arrest of Lords Cedric and Kris.

News of their arrest spread quickly throughout the Fortress Nation of Duranzia.

Many nobles who had once supported Cedric started to back away, worried about being associated with him.

When the news reached the Royal Capital, King Felmus was shocked but excited about how things were unfolding.

He decided to support Vritra by appointing Luciana as the temporary lord of Gladius City, trusting that Vritra would guide her well.

This was the king's way of giving them authority.
