The room was extremely quiet.

After Lijie said these words, she seemed to have finally relaxed. She leaned back on the chair and stared at Rhode. After listening to Lijie's words, Rhode fell into deep thought. After a while, he spoke.

"I understand, Lijie, what are your plans next?"

“For me… I don’t think I have any special plans.”

Facing Rhode's inquiry, Lijie shook her head with a wry smile.

"Indeed, I returned to the Golden City to admit this identity, but I don't think I have anything special. I don't have the talent like Marlene, and for me, it would be really boring to make an ornament in the palace just wearing gorgeous clothes. I think... like now, I will still stay in the mercenary group, and there will be no change. But..."

"I see."

Rhode nodded and interrupted Lijie's words.

"Since your idea has not changed, I don't need to say anything more. You can continue to prepare for the next battle as before. As for your identity, I will explain it clearly to the people in the mercenary group and let them not pay special attention to it... This is not difficult, you can rest assured."

Rhodes is also the truth. Indeed, the identity of a princess will usually cause a lot of controversy in the mercenary group. But luckily, Lijie is a very easy-to-get-to-get-to-people, and as a spiritual master, she is originally respected, so Rhodes believes that as long as she grasps it properly, there will be no discordant voices within the mercenary group. Of course, this is also due to Lijie's good popularity. If she is a proud and selfish guy who is not liked by many people, then this identity will not only have any gains for her, but may even bring greater rebound.

"Thank you, Mr. Rhode."

Hearing Rhode's answer, Lijie breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart, then she smiled and then stood up.

"Then, I'll go back to my room first."

Watching Lijie's figure disappear behind the door, Rhode's originally calm expression changed at this time. He frowned and reached out to rub his forehead.

After listening to Lijie confessing her life experience, Rhode finally linked all the previous questions. He could see that Lijie had no experience in political struggles, so she didn't know some things at all. But for Rhode, who lived in the era of the information explosion, he already understood some things.

In fact, Lijie is not wrong, but her origin is wrong.

The Principality of Mun is a very strange country. Although its ruler inheritance is from the same lineage, it is different from the kind of royal family in history that they have children and then compete for power. It is not the kind that needs to be recognized by most royal families to become rulers. Its ruling identity is innate—that is, only the archangel can inherit this position. This is a "historical legacy issue", because the Principality of Mun was originally the sphere of influence of the archangel of the Dragon of Light, so the rulers here have always been a generation.

The Archangel of the Age. That is to say, the Duchy of Mun originally existed in the name of "legions". However, later, because the rights of the Dragon of Light were weakened and deprived by the parliament, in order to fight against the parliament, the Duchy of Mun improved its virtuousness and became a Duchy of Mun. However, this inheritance system was also passed down in this way, so the Duchy of Mun was different from other countries. Their people were loyal to the Archangel and the Dragon of Light. As the ruler of the Duchy of Mun, the Archangel was loyal to the Dragon of Light.

It is precisely because of this that every ruler of the Duchy of Mun is "innate". They do not need to pass political achievements, nor do they need to pass the prestige of the people, nor do they need the opposition and support of ministers. As long as they are the chief angels, they must be the grand duke of the Duchy of Mun. As for others, they are not qualified to compete for this position with their rights.

This has always been a point that the parliament is exaggerating. They believe that the Duchy of Moon will only cultivate those tyrants who are arrogant, arrogant, and harm the entire country and people. There is no equality or justice at all, but the fact is not the case. As Lijie said, archangels have holy souls and powerful powers. Moreover, the kind and orderly nature of angels determines that they cannot do things that harm their people like devils or even humans. Indeed, from the standpoint of mankind, such a system is likely to cultivate those terrible monarchs. That is because humans are born as a blank piece of paper, and if they are not guided well, they are prone to deviations. But angels are different. Unless they are fallen angels, it is absolutely impossible to do such things.

Different races have different positions on things. But it is obvious that the parliament does not understand this, or they understand it, but they are unwilling to accept it. So after seeing the ineffectiveness of the criticism of the royal family, they began to turn their attention to the people of the Duchy of Mun and encourage them to stand up and resist the "disparate dictatorship". According to them, this country does not belong to the country of angels, but to the country of dwarves, humans, and elves. Then, each race is equal, and of course they also have the right to participate or even compete for the status of the Lord of the Duchy of Mun. This is a symbol of fairness, sacredness, freedom, and justice. So, stand up, the people! For freedom, resist the dictatorship of the angels, sacrifice their lives for a better life, shed their blood, and sacrifice their lives.

Rhodes had done many tasks related to this, so he knew very well that it had not been a day or two that the parliament had "diligently" sold "freedom" everywhere. Although most citizens did not buy it, there were still people who were willing to believe their arguments and were really willing to sacrifice their lives for it. This has always been a heart-wrenching problem in the Principal of Mun.

With this background, Rhodes knew very well the reasons why the reformists in the south wanted to kidnap Lijie.

Indeed, as Lijie herself said, she was born in the royal family, but she was completely unable to possess the glory and status that Litian had. This is a pitiful thing to outsiders. Even her mother was the same, because she could not give Lijie a legitimate status, so she loved her so much that she was a bit overcorrect.

For the reformists, Lijie's existence is undoubtedly a beacon. She was born in the royal family and possessed human blood. However, because of the unreasonable system of the Duchy of Moon, she lost her power and status that should have belonged to her, and eventually forced her to wander around. If she could really win over her into her own camp, then think about it, a persecuted royal family, who was crippled by others, and finally formed a rebel army to resist the dictatorship with the efforts of her people, and then overthrew the dictatorship of the angels. A brand new country was established, with such a main theme, such inspirational, and such a legendary story, just in line with the expectations of most people?

Even if Lijie rejects their suggestions and is unwilling to contribute to these reforms, then they can also use her as a negative teaching material to educate the people. Look, a person will be brainwashed by those cruel and inhumane rulers, so he has no sense of his own consciousness and resistance, and only knows how terrifying it is... Do you also want to become like this?

So no matter what Lijie's own thoughts are, as long as they fall into their hands, these reformists have enough ways to make her in their own interests.

Lijie herself did not realize this, but Rhodes could be sure. Litia was 100% aware, so she did such a move. Rhodes could be sure, but one day, Lijie's true identity would spread throughout the Golden City. With the huge influence of the Midsummer Festival, I'm afraid the entire Duchy of Moon would soon know that they had a princess.

After knowing this, everyone will definitely have the same question, that is, what kind of person is this princess? Why did she never know before? What is she doing now?

Rhodes didn't know how Lydia would deal with this issue, because these questions were also an excuse that the reformists could use to attack the royal party, but he believed that with the character of His Highness, he would definitely use a set of words that convinced most people to answer the public's questions.

This is a thorough open conspiracy, because Lydia has been the lord of the Duchy of Mun for many years. If the reformists asked such questions when she first came to power, it might also affect her dominance. The royal party members were attracted by this at the time, so they sent Lijie far away and kept it secret. But now it is different. Lydia has been in power for several years, and the Duchy of Mun has been prosperous and developing, and people have lived and worked in peace. After having a personal experience of the ability of His Highness, the idea of ​​replacing her is not very strong. So even if Lydia openly admits Lijie's identity, she will never waver in her dominance. In this way, as long as Lijie does not make any amazing moves, the public's attention to Lijie will gradually decline. In this way, even if the reformists want to make a fuss in this regard, they will not slap her.

Thinking of this, Rhode couldn't help but feel a little scared. He had experienced this era before, so he could figure out the connection. In other words, Rhode was able to look at the problem from this height because he had experienced it once before. It was precisely because of this that he could better understand how clever Lydia's move was. Even on the surface, Lydia himself did not lose anything, but he easily resolved a big crisis. Of course, this is also due to Lydia's own strong strength. If it weren't for the prosperity of the Duchy of Moon over the years, but the people were in trouble, then I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to do this now.

But...is things really that simple?

Although I think about it carefully, it seems that this has nothing to do with me, but for some reason, Rhode always has a premonition that Litia's plan is likely to have a lot to do with her Starlight Mercenary Group - after all, Litia is currently a mercenary group, and it seems that she has no intention of leaving. So...

Thinking of this, Rhode closed his eyes.

"Qianlian, go and find old Walker."

Qi Lian was indeed very fast. In just a moment, Old Walker pushed open the door and walked into the room, staring at Rhode in front of him. Old Walker also had a complicated expression. Obviously, he had heard about Lijie.

"Boy, are you asking me for something? Is it about Lijie?"

"I'll talk about this later."

Faced with Old Walker's questions, Rhode waved his hand, and then he looked at Old Walker with concentration and asked.

"What happened to what I asked you to do?"

"Everything goes well, boy."

Hearing this, Old Walker nodded confidently, then he took out a map from his arms and spread it in front of Rhodes, with many red circles already drawn on it.

"This is not an absolute secret. I soon found out that during the Midsummer Festival, those foreign tourists will be placed in these areas around the Holy Arena, where taverns and hotels are here. I have to say that Golden City is indeed a big city..."

“That’s good.”

Rhode carefully looked at the circle on the map, then he pondered for a moment, then reached into his arms, took out a purse full of gems and coins, and placed it in front of Old Walker with confusing eyes.

"I want you to take your people to go to these places from today and live in disguise as ordinary travelers. As for the next... you just need to do what I said."

"this……………"

Hearing this, Old Walker widened his eyes in surprise. He stared at Rhode in confusion, not understanding what the young man in front of him was thinking.

"What the hell do you want us to do? Boy?"

“It’s very simple.”

Rhode made a gesture when he heard Old Walker's inquiry.

"I need you to defeat our enemies."

Then he said.
