Sword Castle has always been the traditional sphere of influence of the royal faction, and the history of the North Wind family's allegiance to the royal family can be traced back to the founding era. ((7764)) It stands to reason that a family like theirs can be said to be die-hard loyalists of the royal family, and even if the royal family is suspicious of them for some reason, they will never show it, and that will only provoke contempt. However, the reality turned out to be so ridiculous that after attacking Istalen, the royal family was so eager to reach out to the Sword Castle again.

It started 10 years ago, and it was a very delicate point in time. El and Tiana knew that the Oakland royal family had secretly murdered the White Lion family at that time, plotting against the former Duke of Caesar and the Knight of the Golden Lion Leonard, and Isttalon has been in decline ever since.

At that time, El could not understand what kind of state of mind the royal family had, wielding a butcher's knife at his loyal subjects on the basis of a vague prophecy of the Truth Society, and not relenting until ten years later, dragging Isttalon into the abyss despite the plague. At one point, Tiana thought that the main reason for this was that the prosperity of Istalon affected the majesty of the royal family, which can be said to be the only reason that can explain the past.

But from the perspective of the Sword Castle, Ximako told them the story of the year.

The root of the problem can be traced back to the founding history of the Kingdom of Oakland, which may not be finished in three days and three nights, in short, the kingdom of the past was part of an ancient empire, just like the current Isttalon. Because of a series of historical events thousands of years ago, the founding emperor led his knights out of the empire, and some of the nobles of the original empire also sided with him and supported him to establish a new kingdom.

The troops commanded by the ancestors when they were founded gradually developed into the current northern forces, that is, the current royal faction, and those nobles who later came over as vassals became today's southern aristocratic faction. In fact, the Oakland Kingdom was essentially just an alliance of nobles, and the relationship between the southern nobles and the royal family was originally an alliance rather than allegiance, and it was only because of the personal prestige and strength of the former monarch that they chose to support him as king.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the covenant of that year has long been buried in history. The kingdom of Oakland has survived a thousand years as a complete country, and the northern royal faction and the southern aristocratic faction have gradually evolved from the original intimacy to the current life-and-death situation. 【(7764)】

Of course, the above is just an introduction to the historical background, except for northern natives like Er, any mainland person is familiar with this history, and it is not an important secret. What Ximako really wanted to say was the upheaval that had taken place in the upper echelons of the Oakland Kingdom ten years ago.

The former king of Oakland, Hatu VI, was a wise monarch, and during his twenty-five years of ruling the kingdom, the kingdom of Oakland has been steadily rising, and at the same time, it has also cultivated a group of young heroes, such as the heir of the Four Knights of the North, the Knight of Leonard, the Count of Kemal, and so on. At that time, everyone was full of confidence in the kingdom, and everyone thought that Oakland would usher in a great era of the second expedition to the north.

However, fate always likes cruel jokes, and this era of ZTE ended dramatically in a way that no one expected. In order to reunite the forces of the two factions in the south and the north, Hatu VI chose to marry the only daughter of the Duke of Southern Menia as his queen.

What was supposed to be a feast for both parties turned out to be a sad tragedy. Hatu VI stood too tall and looked too far away, but ignored the feelings of the beautiful Miss Menia herself. It was a successful marriage, but it was a failed relationship. Mademoiselle Menia could not fall in love with an old man thirty years older than herself, and she was not talented enough to control the queen's throne, so she had to spend her days having fun.

Two years later, ten years before now, this emotionless marriage finally took on disaster. Desperate for emotional comfort, Queen Menia had an affair with a young and handsome knight who should not have happened, and the queen-obsessed knight drew his sword and assassinated Hatu VI in order to save his lover. It is a pity that the old king died at the hands of an insignificant little man when he was about to display his ambitions.

By this time, Queen Menia had already given birth to a healthy child for Hattu VI, and Hattu VI had no other children, so the child was rightfully considered the next king. But the royal faction refused to recognize the identity of the new king, because no one believed that it was a simple tragedy, the queen's family, the queen's love, the queen's lover...... When all kinds of coincidences come together, it becomes a conspiracy that even a fool can see.

The royal faction did not believe in the queen, they believed that the child was a wild seed born to the queen and her lover, and some people pointed out more bluntly that it was because the old king discovered this secret that he was killed, and this was by no means a tragedy, but an undisputed murder, and the main messenger behind the scenes was the queen!

Of course, in this world that the gods are watching, it is not difficult to verify the bloodline of a child. The end result was that the Cult of the Gods declared that it had approved the child's bloodline orthodoxy, and the murderer was duly punished, but the consequence was that the queen, who was supposed to wield the power of the royal faction, had an indelible rift with the royal faction, and instead received the full support of the southern aristocracy.

After the new king succeeded to the throne, the queen took control of the royal power with the support of the southern aristocracy, but at this time there were different voices from the royal faction, some of the royal nobles believed that they should continue to be loyal to the royal family, while others insisted on questioning the legitimacy of the current royal family, and these diehards were naturally attacked mercilessly by the queen.

Speaking of which, El and Tiana understood the real reason why the royal family destroyed the Great Wall, and the current royal family of Oakland instead regarded the royal nobles as enemies, such as the Duke of Caesar of Istalon who may have offended the queen fiercely because of this, so it is not surprising that he was retaliated against.

In the same case as Isttalen, Michelo, the current head of the Sword Keep, was an eyewitness to the palace upheaval ten years ago. Out of loyalty to the royal family, he did not express any doubts, but he did so with his actions. After that, he left the royal capital on the grounds of illness, and returned to the Sword Castle to no longer set foot in the outside world.

But sometimes, even if you want to keep a low profile, others may not be able to give you this opportunity. After all these years of training, the queen gradually grew up from an ignorant little girl, and began to regain the power split by the royal faction. The Sword Castle, which has been loyal to the royal family for thousands of years, is her inevitable goal.

Diana had shown an outstanding talent for swordsmanship since she was a child, but at that time, Michelo hid her during turbulent times, and almost no one outside knew that the Sword Castle had a genius girl who was qualified to be promoted to the Sword Master.

However, the queen did not know through which channel she heard that Michelo had a daughter, and without carefully considering the real reason why he concealed her daughter, she took the initiative to marry Diana to her son, who was not yet ten years old.

In terms of identity, it is just the right choice to choose a queen from a family like the North Wind family, which has a small sphere of influence but a deep heritage and a long heritage. From a political point of view, the Beifeng family has a pivotal position in the royal faction, and choosing to marry them can also regain the understanding of the royal faction, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, there will be no problem on the little king's side, he may not know what it means to be married as a child, but the Sword Castle side is a little embarrassed. If it were an ordinary girl, Michelo would never say a word, but Diana was the hope of the family's future, and she was at a critical moment in cultivating the Martial Arts Advanced Sword Saint. If she is allowed to marry at this time, all the efforts made before will be in vain.

In other words, compared to the value of a new sword master, the position of a mere queen cannot be compared to it. As long as the Sword Castle gives birth to a Sword Master again, it will immediately gain the status of absolute transcendence. At that time, not to mention the queen and the southern nobles, even the emperors of other countries will send the most sincere invitations at an astronomical price, and then the North Wind family can get the right to truly choose the way out in the future.

Michelo didn't want to sacrifice his carefully cultivated daughter to the unknown queen, but his thoughts did not represent the will of all members of the North Wind family. Since then, there has been another voice within the family that a marriage with the royal family is the safest option.

This kind of thinking can't be said to be wrong, because Diana hasn't really advanced to the Juggernaut until now. From a thousand years ago to the present, there are not many talented young people like her, but there is only one person who has successfully advanced in the end, and that is the Sword Master during the opening of the Northern Territory three hundred years ago.

Although Diana's cultivation speed was amazing, even the head of the family, Michelo himself, did not dare to guarantee 100% that she would be the next lucky one.

If Diana fails to advance, not only will it not help the family, but it will also incur the wrath of the queen. And if she succeeds, there will be no conflict between the queen's identity and the Juggernaut's identity.

In contrast, this is clearly a more secure choice.
