“Hm… Maybe that’s republicanism…”
“Hey hey, watch your words”
“Ahe”

“Will you be alright? Even if the nobles are quiet right now, they probably won’t take this lying down”
Milton brought this up worriedly to Leila during their teatiht With the royal power as strong as it is now, if I told the nobles that starting froloves on their hands, they’ll listen without saying a single complaint”
“Well, that’s… probably true”
Milton agreed with her The power of the royal fa in the history of the Lester Kingdodo the country, the royal family’s power hadn’t been like this Power, military power, financial power, fadom, there was no one in front of the royal family That meant that there were no political means to keep the royal family in check Queen Leila intended to use the current situation to implement the deht be too unreasonable to implement it as it is’
