Chapter 261 Miriel

Linking herself through a second channel that she created, she filtered through all of the useless information.

’Found it.’ She thought with a smile.

In the royal family, excluding Lyrica, there are 4 princes and 2 princesses. The princes are gunning for the throne while the princesses are trying to get help from outside powers. There had been more princes in the past but they had been eliminated one after the other. Leaving them with the current line up.

Blythe was the current third prince and his power was in the middle. According to what she could find, it was rumoured that the highest level person in his faction was a powerhouse nearing the stage of Tier 5. However, that was just a rumour.

The ’first’ prince, Neldor Valenstaine, has the most power among all the princes. He’s being openly supported by the Rising Sun faction along with several high level powerhouses near the peak of tier 4.

Following behind the first prince was the second Prince, Elashor. While he doesn’t have as many high level powerhouses like Neldor, Elashor has the back up of several high tier factions along with the top tier faction, God’s Pantheon who is a direct contender against the Rising Sun faction.

The fourth prince, Lefyr Valenstaine, was definitely the weakest out of them all since he has no support whatsoever. However, he was the favourite candidate of the citizens since he focuses on the people rather than the power.

Publicly stating that he doesn’t need to be king to help the people, he would rather not fight against his brothers despite not being born from the same mother.

There are several nobles who wish that Lefyr would take up the role as king but could only watch in pity.

As for the princesses, they were receiving training by the church so that they could take up the role of being the next saintess. Regardless of who takes the throne, they will support them after they ascend.

’With this being the case, the most dangerous is definitely the first and second brother. Blythe can be set aside for now since his support is still lacking. There’s also the variable called the elders. For the ascension to have been delayed for so long, they must hold a considerable amount of power as well. They’ll be the biggest obstacle since there is no information regarding their levels or support. Only names.’ Shiro frowned.

There are a total of five elders of unknown strengths and have not expressed which side they’re on. They were currently taking the passive approach of just watching what was happening.

’Hmm... once we’re in the Miriel, we will definitely have run ins with two top tier factions. Main objective is to keep Lyrica safe and try to separate her from the royal family if we could. Not only that, but we’ll also need to make sure that we don’t piss off anyone from the top tier factions. That being said, we also need to take the initiative.’

Leaning back slightly, Shiro frowned and thought deeply about what she can and can’t do in Miriel. She had to find the right balance so that they could get the best outcome.

’If I use the life fire or rather, the Essence Flame, I may be able to get an upper ground in terms of negotiation. But as Lyrica has stated before, I need to be careful or else I’ll make the entire elven race my enemy.’

Massaging her eyes, she decided to take a bath now.

"Girls, let’s go have a bath now." Shiro called out.

"I’m ready!" Lyrica stopped her practice instantly.

Smiling wearily, Shiro looked towards the other girls and saw that they were ready as well.

Walking over to the wall mounted tablet, Shiro checked where the bathroom was and found it rather quickly.

The first thing she did when she entered the bathroom was to make sure that they weren’t being monitored at all.

Once she was sure that they were in total privacy, she sighed in relief and added a few formations to keep things extra safe.

Setting up the bath, Shiro stretched her body and undressed. While this was happening, Lyrica stood in a trance and even needed Madison to knock on her head in order to snap her out of it.

’Nimue, how does it work exactly?’ Shiro asked while ignoring the girls behind her.

{Don’t worry about it my queen. You just need to take a bath as usual and I’ll do the rest.} Nimue replied almost immediately.

’Alright.’

Dipping her foot in the bath, she saw that a layer of fog seemed to form over the top and realized that it was condensed mana.

"Haa....." Sighing out in relief, Shiro relaxed her body.

While she was relaxing, Lyrica cursed the fact that there was now a layer of fog so that she couldn’t see anything.
