5 The Divine Books use (1/2)
When people start to become too comfortable after enjoying the kingdom's prosperity over a long passage of time, they begin taking it for granted and start looking for their own interests.
They forget the terror that awaits them on the other side of the wall.
The kingdom would not be able enjoy prosperity forever. Referring from the records of history, no kingdom had ever been able to endure the test of time and remain standing forever.
The Crawford kingdom had already begun to show signs of decline from within.
17 years ago, a coup d'état had occurred. Although, it had ultimately failed and the duke who led it was executed, it had weakened the royal family. Thousands of soldiers had perished, the newborn prince went missing and the king had fallen into coma with no signs of waking up after suffering severe injuries to the head.
Since then, the kingdom has been under the queen's ruling. Those who voiced their opposition were all personally executed by the queen in cold blood.
The tragedy of her family had transformed her into a cold ruthless ruler.
The throne belongs to her husband and she will defend it with her life. All who eyes the throne shall be killed without mercy.

”My house is just there.” Lina pointed in front to the building.
”Ah I see, Then I will see you next time. Goodnight teacher.” Leon left without waiting for her reply.
Lina wanted to return his coat but considering she would be exposing herself; she held onto it and decided to return it at a later time after it is washed.
”Goodnight.”
Heading inside her home, she tried to make her way to her room quietly but was immediately spotted.
”My daughter, you are finally—What happened to you?”
After noticing her appearance, her father's warming welcoming was immediately replaced with concern.
Lina's eyes swelled as she recounts what happened to her as they sat at the dinner table with her mother where the food had already gone cold. It was her father's birthday.
”Such audacity!!!”
Robert was immediately enraged and slammed the table after hearing his daughter's grievance.
How can he let his daughter be bullied like this!? But alas he is too useless of a father...Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
He was even reliant on his daughter to support the family.
”Alas, if it weren't for that damn curse!”
The downfall of their family first began when they were mistaken to have favored the duke's side when the coup took place. Reasonably thinking, their entire family would have been executed as rebels.
However, due to their lack of participation in the matter and in addition to their military contribution, they were spared. But not without consequences.
They were forced to drink the Water of Absolute Nothingness, a sinister and powerful poison that sealed their bloodline ability.
Although the queen seems lenient in the matter, the punishment was an absolute vicious one. The effects of the poison is passed onto their descendants and from their descendants onto the next like a contagious disease.
It is not much different to cutting off one's lineage.
After being angry for a short moment, Robert could not do anything else except deflate back onto his chair.
”Sigh, this is the price for not supporting the royal family.”
They should be thankful for just being alive and keeping their nobility status.
”Go wash up and then come back down for dinner.”
Not much could be done. They didn't possess the strength to avenge their grievance.
”Mm.” Lina nodded sadly.
