Chapter 186 - 184: Soiree Blanche IV

He has a plan, and if that plan works, then things would be great He doesn't even want to io from worse into worst, then God help him

Froht after she goes out of school, then he only has 2 years However, he knew Serena was not illed and she may be able to delay it for about 2 years at thein 1 year after he graduates, but perhaps 2 years will do So, giving himself so work

He tried to study what's happening in the court by collecting information from different sources which sad to say, he currently doesn't have a lot of However, what he knows for now is sufficient

The court was divided into 3 groups The roup of people ere still neutral His father was part of the monarchists by default due to his mother, but he learned that his position wasn't stable because of the King It was real news to hi out with the open with Serena unprepared would mean not only social destruction to her, but even worse for him and his faht and that they have their own h he has no doubt that his father will side with his to go that way First, there was no guarantee that they in Second, he does not want his relationshi+p with Serena to be tainted with bloodshed Well, if bloodshed is inevitable then the main reason should not be Serena at least

Now, in court, even though the actual power of the , was dependent on his ability to consolidate the rule and various other factors, ultimately, they were still under absolute monarchy The reason that the court was divided was precisely because of this

After the hich his father won, there has already been talks about wanting to change the type of rulershi+p their kingdom has Constitutional monarchy was an idea which came from Jinjoo, the nation they were in ith before The foreted his father as a marquis at that time Honestly, it was not made clear if his father was completely innocent, but based on how he knew his father, the allegations should be false

Anyway, that was alo With his father tied to the e slowly died down It has been thought to be dead for a long tio

With the booold People were suddenly able to raise their income and become richer Nohat happens when people can divert their attention elsewhere rather than just feeding their stomachs? What happens when they have more wealth and have achieved substantial i? Then they look for security They want to protect their wealth and of course their lives They want hts and freedom This 'they' includes the nobles, the merchants, and the nouveau riche who he presumes are the backbone of the radicals

In other words, they don't want to be under the thumb of a ruler that can decide their fate with the snap of his fingers Thus, they believe that constitutional e is still an uphill battle The kingdoe in peaceful times can also be quite difficult Other than that, both sides are on stalearnered stops there, but he can somewhat theorize the reasons behind the actions of both sides He may not be 100 correct, but he could not think of any other reason why there's friction but no substantial 's side, the otten rid of those in the radical faction was becausetheir opinion were et rid of if he really wanted to The big fishes behind it are keeping their identities in secret, or at least there are no sufficient evidence to incriminate them This means that since these sy were to take action, they ainst him

On the radical faction's side, the reason should be because they lack nu for the correct tirave mistake, they can then justify their actions

The neutral group reet a backlash once one side wins over the other Playing safe is a good thing, especially to those who do not have enough power If a family has power, then sooner or later, they most likely cannot remain neutral

Noith this inforet Serena's hand

Plan A is theover those in the neutral group, turn the group into a faction, take the lead, and then swear his fealty to the crown in exchange for Serena's hand It's still treacherous, he won't deny, but o with for now Though he acknowledges that it's very fairytale like, a man can drea all his eggs on that one basket The neutral group will remain a neutral faction for a reason Hethe radical faction, he must still test the waters and make his presence known Of course, he will not become a member, nor will he join their ranks, but he must at least make an impression that he can be persuaded to join them
