The breakthrough of the fourth princess Osphia disrupted all the plans of the eldest prince.
For the eldest prince, even if several other princes and princesses broke through, nothing would be as troublesome to him as the fourth princess's breakthrough.
After all, the opponent has too many similarities with the Emperor Gloria thousands of years ago. He suddenly broke through to the ninth level at this juncture, and he was obviously well prepared.
Female, ranked fourth, with blue eyes, and an appearance that is somewhat similar to Emperor Gloria, and is much more politically correct than him.
After breaking through the ninth level, the fourth princess openly went to the tombs of the great emperors and met with the three royal guardians who guarded the tombs and the royal blood crystal on the grounds that she had broken through the ninth level.
The result this time was just the opposite of that of the eldest prince. The Guardian of the Star showed a good impression of the fourth princess, while the Heart of Darkness became cold, and Hui still looked like he had nothing to do with her.
Walking out of the plane door of the royal mausoleum, the fourth princess Osvia was in a good mood.
Her own strength broke through to the ninth level, and she successfully obtained the support of a royal guardian. Most of the off-board moves that the eldest prince could use against her were completely ineffective.
At this time, she suddenly felt something in her heart, and her blue eyes looked towards the side of the royal back garden.
In the direction she was looking at, there was a small lake as clear as sapphire, with a classical elven-style white stone cloister stretching along the lakeside leading to the pavilion in the center of the lake.
Under the shadow of the relief columns, the eldest prince Ferdinand in a golden robe stood there quietly, looking at her with dark golden eyes.
Where the two people's eyes met, there seemed to be a flash of lightning in the air.
Looking at the silent eldest prince, the fourth princess raised the corners of her lips slightly and smiled silently. At the same time, she elegantly bent her knees and lifted her skirt, just like she had done countless times when she met the eldest prince in the past.
"..."
Watching the fourth princess turn away in silence, the eldest prince put his hand deep into his arms with a gloomy expression and held a light black crystal ball.
The crystal ball shone slightly, and a brief message was transmitted into his mind, as if it was a silent mockery of him.
[The interception operation failed, the target was just a substitute.]
"A bunch of trash, forget it... If this level of action can really achieve the goal, then she is no longer my fourth sister who is often compared to Emperor Gloria."
Putting down the annoyance in his heart, the eldest prince Ferdinand also turned and left.
He originally wanted to prevent the fourth princess from entering the royal mausoleum, but it was still a step too late.
As the fourth princess came into contact with the Guardian and gained the favor of the Star Guardian, it was no longer easy for him to secretly remove the fourth princess.
Then, if you want to sit in that position, you can only compete with the overall strength and the number of ninth-level supporters under each.
After fighting openly and secretly for several days, finally, under the influence of the will of the three guardians, the eldest prince and the fourth princess came up with a strange [House of Lords] mechanism.
The House of Lords is composed of nine princes and princesses who temporarily act as state agents. The eldest prince and the fourth princess have one vote of veto power.
If the eldest prince and the fourth princess have different opinions on something and the discussion fails, then the three guardians will make the final decision.
When this happens, the eldest prince and the fourth princess are fighting out of helplessness.
Although Gloria III is currently missing, she is not dead after all. Therefore, the two princes and princesses do not dare to really start a bloody purge and then proclaim themselves emperor.
After all, the disappearance of Gloria III's 'Breakthrough Legend' is just a guess at the moment, and no one knows what the situation is.
What if he comes back?
Will the winner send his father back with his own hands?
Although the princes and princesses may not mind doing it for them, the three guardians finally decided to leave a three-year buffer period for Gloria III.
During these three years, many princes and princesses have to work hard to show their worth, learn how to manage the empire, and develop their own manpower throughout the empire for a peaceful handover in the future.
If Gloria III can successfully return during these three years, then everything will return to normal.
If the emperor is still missing after three years, he can only be treated as an accidental death. At the same time, the descendant of the royal family who has performed best within these three years will become the next emperor of the empire.

….….
Silver Star City, inside the city lord's palace.
"Has the statistics been completed? How much are our losses exactly?"
Sitting behind the desk belonging to the city lord's adjutant, Avis, wearing a [Leven Boley] vest, finished reviewing the documents sent by Anne personally and asked casually.
"Your Excellency Boli, our situation is not optimistic."
Standing on the side of the desk with a serious face, Anne calmed down and recalled the tragic situation in the city that she had personally investigated before.
"Because Silver Star City was protected by the family's guardians, the main body was not damaged. However, the number of registered citizens who died directly in the war was about 3,000.
There are more than 20,000 citizens suffering from mental problems of varying degrees due to the effects of the battles of Your Majesty, and the number of strangers’ deaths cannot be counted.
The forged iron city was hit by the aftermath of an attack by a crown prince. The southwest district of the city and the west side of the Maoton District were completely wiped out. About seven thousand citizens were missing...
Black Rock City's protective array was destroyed by the aftermath of the battle between the crown princes, and was then robbed by several high-level professionals who concealed their identities. Some buildings in the city were damaged, and the number of casualties was about 1,100..."
The statistics of battle damage in major cities were reported one by one. Anne carefully observed Anvis's expression.
However, until she finished all the damage reports, Avis's expression remained unfazed.
"very good."
Looking at Anne who was looking at him nervously, Anvis smiled and dismissed her casually.
On the night when the Songxing Secret Cult attacked, the two families finally won the victory with great difficulty.
The three apostles of the Singing Star Secret Cult were not considered strong among ninth-level enemies when taken alone. Relying on the layers of protective formations, the two guardians were able to handle them with ease at first, and even had time to guard against other hidden ninth-level enemies.
But after realizing that he could not break through the enemy's defense, one of the apostles activated [Divine Descendance], which turned into a round of dark green blazing sun.
At that moment, the ball of light even gave Anvis a bit of the oppressive feeling of the terrifying human form of holy light that Avis remembered.
Then, the situation took a turn for the worse. The layers of protective formations shattered like bubbles, and the two ninth-level extreme guardians also had a very difficult time resisting.
The family's ninth-level [Silver Storm] Esther Olivendi tried to sneak attack the apostle who was in the [God's Descendance] state, but unfortunately he was hit by the opponent's strange attack. He was unable to withstand the burning of the green flames.
Fall.
Fortunately, when the defense line of the two ninth-level guardians was about to be broken, the apostle's divine descending time could no longer be maintained, and his body completely turned into a ball of green flames and collapsed, otherwise the defense line might really be broken.
