Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Lord Su Wan, I heard about your initial hero,” said Archduke Qing You. He turned to face Xu Yuan. “What do you think of my daughter?”

Bayion blushed. She was eager to hear Xu Yuan’s answer.

Su Wan didn’t expect Archduke Qing You to ask such a question.

“Princess Bayion is the most intelligent, kind, and adorable woman I have ever met. She is outstanding,” said Xu Yuan.

What was he supposed to say? Anyone would praise the children in front of their parents.

Bayion was overjoyed to hear that. She smiled radiantly.

Archduke Qing You laughed.

“I, Griss Qing You, Lord of Canglan City, am honored to meet you Lord Su Wan, and you, Lord Xu Yuan. On behalf of the whole of Canglan City, I welcome you. You too, President Mestre,” said Archduke Qing You and gestured for the guards to open the door of the City Lord’s Mansion. He then stepped aside to let his guests in.

Xu Yuan didn’t say anything further. With a smile on his face, he followed Su Wan and Mestre inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

The people outside didn’t know what was happening inside. They were still discussing why the archduke had opened the carriage door personally.

The next few hours would have a significant impact on the development of the territory, and it might even influence the overall situation of the Main Plane.

When Su Wan and Xu Yuan left the City Lord’s Mansion, it was already late at night. The moon hung high in the sky.

There were two moons in the sky. One was the normal moon, while the other was a crimson moon.

After a few months, the residents had gotten used to the presence of the blood moon. The sight of two moons hanging in the sky no longer made people fearful.

The carriage rolled ahead. Mestre was just thinking about the conversation they had with Archduke Qing You.

She had witnessed how the legendary figure was gradually persuaded by Xu Yuan to side with their territory.

The conversation between the two had reached a level where it could change the situation of the Main Plane.

She had a deeper understanding of how powerful people thought and made decisions.

Although she didn’t participate in the conversation, she learned much from it as an observer.

After a long time, she turned and looked at the handsome Xu Yuan. He was looking out of the window and admiring the brightly lit streets of the city.

‘How could there be such a handsome and charming person like Xu Yuan in the world?’

“My Lord, why is Archduke Qing You willing to offend the higher-ups of the Holy Kingdom and support the Third Prince?” asked Mestre. “Even if he gets Archduke Qing You’s support, the Third Prince is still far from ascending to the throne. Betting on a prince with no hope seems foolish.”

In Canglan City, the Third Prince had a notorious reputation. Even ordinary citizens knew about it.

After all, as a prince born from a commoner and disliked by the king, it was enough to fuel gossip among the people.

In the Holy Kingdom, his life might be even more difficult.

Mestre didn’t doubt the judgment of Su Wan and Xu Yuan, but she thought it was a very bad hand to play. She couldn’t see many chances to turn the situation around.

“Who can know the future?” Su Wan smiled.

As for Archduke Qing You’s choice, he was taking a gamble.

For ordinary aristocrats, participating in the struggle for the throne and being on the wrong side would be fatal.

If the Third Prince doesn’t become the king, he would still get enough attention to fight again.

Could the new king still send troops to punish Archduke Qing You?

Archduke Qing You had the capital and the resource to be willful. He was formidable.

If Archduke Qing You became even stronger and rose to the level of a demigod, the king would have to be wary of him.

“I know how to proceed next. Once we reach an agreement, we can exaggerate Archduke Qing You’s support of the Third Prince,” said Mestre thoughtfully.

They could even influence public opinion and make everyone realize that the Third Prince was originally a top-tier genius who used his personal charm to win the appreciation and support of Archduke Qing You.

They could claim that his bad reputation was just some rumors spread by other princes to confuse the people and prevent him from competing for the throne.

Even if people didn’t believe it entirely, it would still sway the thinking of some of the people. This way, it would be easier to handle any future actions.

“You’ve learned a lot. I’ll leave the matter of the Third Prince to you,” said Xu Yuan as he reached out and tucked Mestre’s stray strand of hair behind her ear.

Mestre blushed.

Helping a prince ascend to the throne by their own hands gave a sense of accomplishment that was far greater than running a business guild.

“Your Majesty, you might be overestimating my capabilities,” said Mestre with a smile.

With only Archduke Qing You’s support, the Third Prince was still far from ascending to the throne.

How could she have the ability to elevate a prince to become a king?

Even if Lavender Business Guild fully supported the Third Prince, it wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Su Wan didn’t dwell on this topic. This decision needed time. It wasn’t something that would bear an outcome in a year or two.

That’s how chess worked. Sometimes seemingly useless moves could turn into decisive wins.

There was still time, so they could take it slow.

Su Wan’s gaze landed on the Dark Valkyrie.

This hero, who had not completed her transformation yet, had just been certified by Archduke Qing You and would soon reach legendary status.

Legendary rank already stood at the pinnacle of the world. Having a legendary figure in the territory meant possessing the ultimate power of the Main Plane.

Gods could not appear in the main plane. Hence, the legendary level was the highest level in the plane.

As for the demigods, their numbers were so few that they couldn’t be considered impactful.

Though Su Wan held many powerful trump cards, like the God of Deception and Lies, the Dwarf God, and even Nami, the Crimson Lord, they were all external forces and couldn’t be summoned every time.

Having a legendary figure belonging entirely to the territory was akin to possessing nuclear weapons that could be used as they pleased.

There was no need to consider anyone’s opinions.

With the support from legendary figures like Archduke Qing You, Su Wan’s confidence soared even higher..
