Chereads / Who Owns The Crown? / Chapter 5 - Seria Empire

Chapter 5 - Seria Empire

I continue reading and studying this Empire's History because there is a chance that some information were not included or mention on the book. While sitting on the garden pavilion, Lyle is sitting in front of me.

In Seria Empire the one who holds the power is not the Imperial family, it is none other than the Church. The Imperial Family will provide all the needs of the Church while the Church will enhance the Imperial Family by spreading some words to the commoners and nobles. That's why I understand on why Laura Iris, the Princess who have a very weak divinity is having a private time to the High Priest and her gaining a reputation as she is studying hard to be a Priestess. 

In this world, Divinity Powers or whatever it is called is existing. In the book it stated that Divinity is divided by two: Divinity and Dark Divinity. Where as, there's only some special people who got blessed by a pure and strong Divinity Powers and that are the direct Imperial Family and the High Priest. Those people who had been blessed with a divine magic* were given a title as a Paladin and there are only a two Paladin in throughout of the Empire's history.

*(Divine Magic is like having a divine power but knows how to wield a magic at the same time.)

There were some people who are born with dark divinity and the Church will take them and purify them however there were no succession on purifying a Dark Divinity into Pure divinity one that's why instead on killing them they make them study magic healing so that they become a Cleric*. The Cleric and Paladin will go to any war to help the soldiers. 

*( Clerics were called a fighting Priest because of them going into war. Clerics they can also able to repel or control undead creatures.)

In the story it mentions that since Laura's mother the Queen Consort is a commoner her divinity become weak, while Madeline's mother the Empress, is a Archduke's daughter the reason why her divinity is powerful and strong, however later on the book it says that Madeline's divinity is weakening and making her ill, because she didn't visit the Church. 

For a Divine users for them to keep them strong and powerful, they will need a time when they will visit the Church and pray faithfully to The God. 

Well, that's an disadvantage to me. I'll take note to this one. It wasn't like I had a choice, even though I middle finger the God I don't want to die helplessly like the original Madeline. I have so much thing to do and that is to have fun.

The start of the main event of the story is when the wedding of Laura and the Grand Duke. I need to prevent my neck being sliced of in guillotine. 

When will that occur? Or shall I pay a visit to the Grand Duchy of Dewei? I need to think something for him to not marry my sister. 

Think, Adeline! Why did the marriage between the Princess and Grand Duke happen? I close my eyes to ransacked my mind and recall all the things happened to the story. 

Two weeks before the wedding Madeline was executed because of attempted murder of Laura, She poison the tea Laura's drinking and because of that Laura experienced a near death situation. Two days after Madeline's death the Emperor is found in his bedchamber's hanging. The people believed that he killed himself out of guilt on killing her daughter, and so that's what Laura and her Mother, The Queen Consort wanted. 

After framing Madeline they hired someone to kill the Emperor. Everything is plan well and it is never reveal in the book on who is helping The Queen Consort and Laura. Yes, I am sure as hell that someone is behind of their actions because they will never had the guts and confidence to do all of this. 

However despite of all the things happened, the wedding still proceed and Laura becoming the Emperor and a Grand Duchess, while the Queen has no right to become the Empress and doesn't even had a slightest interest to become one. That's the end. 

So what happened to Lyle? After his master's death, he never appeared or mention again into story. He also holds an account to the story. As he is a very loyal to Madeline. He protect her even though she is captured and tried to hide her away however as Madeline's life nearing to end she chooses to die. It never mention on what emotion Lyle held when Madeline choose to die and was killed. 

Some readers believe that Lyle is secretly in love to Madeline and kill himself after her death, some were to believe that Lyle gather forces to have a revenge, but nothing was mentioned. 

Now that I recall, It mentions that Laura proposed to the Emperor her marriage to the Grand Duke as soon as she got her Coming-of-Age Ceremony and become a Crowned Princess, declaring that she is the only heir apparent to the throne. 

I clasped when I remember the important thing "Finally!" Lyle, who is just staring to me frown as he saw my relief expression.

"When is the Coming-of-Age of Laura?" I asked "It will be in the fall" Fall, it is Summer so it is only a three months a way. "Do you have any idea who will help us on bringing down the bastards?" He instantly understand who I am referring to. 

His brows frowned and his finger hold his chin. As I stare at him, I was captivated by his deep blue eyes, it is refreshing to see as it was I am staring into the sky. His messy silver hair is too blinding to look at. I have never remember to as how the author said that her favourite character is Lyle. He is too handsome and a perfect man she made. 

Despite of his characteristics, many women still fall in love to the male protagonist, The Grand Duke and I am going to make sure that I will compare them when I meet the male lead.

"I think the most effective way is to approach the High Priest, the commoners because in noble house, there's no people I can think of" he spoke after a minute.

No, there must be someone at least a powerful house that can intimidate them. I look again the record book I had where all the list of noble houses where here. 

I found it! One of the strongest houses that even the Emperor won't go against. The paternal family house of Madeline, The Luxemburg House.

They never appear in the novel, however I think they will help their only granddaughter right? If not then, I might as well take care of the House.

"I think this is the time to go meet my grand father, isn't it?" I asked

Lyle nod "They will be very glad, Your Highness."

Now, shall I go see my father to get his approval?

While walking on to the way into the Main Palace, the nobles whose visiting and seeing me were greeting me halfheartedly. I just shrugged at them. The disgusted gaze that they will throw at me whenever they will have a chance. Their murmurings that I can clearly heard. It never affected me.

I don't understand why or is it because I am now a different person now? But I think there's still something that the real owner of this body never erased, and that is the emptiness and loneliness that she had felt.

The first time I was awaken in this world, the first thing I have ever felt is the heaviness of my heart. The same feeling that I have when my sister was still alive.

I thought that my life is entangled into her as long as she is alive that's why I studied hard on how a person can die naturally by an hospital IV's and after asking around I have finally done it.

After I heard the sound of her life monitor machine and saw the flat lines, I felt a warm breeze, my mind become clear and even it is night I saw a very bright light ahead to me and that was the most refreshing and light feeling I have ever felt ever since I can remember.

I wonder... If I killed them will I ever going to feel it again?
