So I'm a sheep.

Still angry

Green bowed and scraped, saying, "Senior sister, can I go out with you to broaden my horizons?"

"Okay!"

Sasha pondered for a moment and said, "But Green, your abilities are limited. Even with your senior sister's help, I'm afraid..."

Green's expression darkened. He forced a smile and was about to say something when Sasha continued, "I'm afraid he can only manage to become a fief baron."

what? !

Green's eyes widened, and he stammered.

"Senior Sister, can I... can I have a fiefdom?"

"You're being too kind to me. Well, it doesn't seem quite right either."

"What's inappropriate about it?"

Sasha patted him on the shoulder and shouted, "I'm the Regent, I can do whatever I want!"

"gone!"

Behind the gate, Lachesis frowned.

She had assumed that her younger sister would have matured over the years.

Who would have thought, alas.

'However, running an empire certainly seems more interesting than running a chain of stores.'

Lachesis was startled when the thought popped into her head.

........................................

Lachesis hasn't agreed yet, that's alright. We'll reserve the position of Chancellor for her and focus on reorganizing the Wizarding Council first.

With Ankang, the former Speaker of the Wizarding Council, and so many wizards serving as court advisors, the framework of the Wizarding Council was quickly established.

Six months later, the headquarters of the Wizarding Council was established in Sasha's Marquisate.

When they wanted to build the first wizard tower in the marquisate, many ministers jumped out to strongly oppose it.

The reason is simple: they didn't want to provoke the Elven Court at this time.

"When the Elf Queen shot down the Dauntless, didn't she think about how it would provoke the kingdom?"

Sasha was furious, thinking these guys were cowards.

But even the queen came to advise her, saying that the kingdom had only recently stabilized and that it was best to maintain stability rather than provoke the Elven court.

Volume 1: Chapter 715 The Tyrant is Actually Me

Sasha was truly frustrated, but she still had to give the Queen face.

"Ankang, how about we keep a low profile for now?"

"Let's put the matter of the Wizard Tower on hold for now."

"..."

The speaker in the colorful robe was furious; his face turned red.

"All the sacrifices made during the War of Independence were in vain, and the kingdom still has to act according to the elves' wishes!"

"No, no, it's not that bad."

Sasha comforted her, "These are special times, after all. The Queen and her ministers don't want another war to break out."

"The Wizarding Council has been reorganized, but they won't let us build the Wizarding Tower?"

An Kang angrily said, "What exactly do they mean? Do they want the great Wizarding Council to never step into the limelight again?"

"We need to take things slowly and gradually regarding the Wizard Tower. No rush, let's take it one step at a time."

Sasha spent a long time persuading Ankang to swallow his anger, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better half a month later.

That illegitimate son of King Carlos VII, the Elf Queen's good son-in-law, actually became sworn brothers with the chieftain of the Bronzebeard clan!

It was such a magical thing that even Sasha found it unbelievable.

After Charles VII led the Dreadnoughts to destroy the three major dwarven settlements, he was regarded by the dwarves as a 'tyrant' and 'demon'.

Now, the son of a 'tyrant' and a 'demon' has become sworn brothers with a dwarf clan chief?

It's really...

"frenzied!"

In Sasa's memory, this was the first time the Queen had lost her composure in front of her.

"How can he possibly live in this world if he recognizes the elf who killed his father as his mother and the enemy of mankind as his brother?"

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful throughout your life, how could you have given birth to such a rebellious son?"

The queen trembled with anger: "Sister, since the Elven Kingdom is determined to make trouble for us, then there's no need to hold back."

"Once the Wizard Tower is built, the Wizard Council will truly step into the limelight!"

......................................

“Sister-in-law, it seems too early to conclude that the elves and dwarves are colluding.”

Sasha was naturally delighted that the Wizard's Tower could be built, but she didn't want the woman beside her, who held a significant influence in the kingdom, to fall into paranoia.

"Little sister, you're too insensitive to this kind of thing."

The queen shook her head and said, "I don't need any evidence. As soon as I heard the news, I knew what the Elven Court was planning."

"Just you wait, those long-eared guys have a backup plan."

"Otherwise, the dwarves wouldn't have been able to send troops to the surface after all three major settlements had fallen!"

The Queen's words weighed heavily on Sasha's mind. She had thought the kingdom was safe and sound, but the elves had not given up yet.

This time, it was Ankang who comforted her instead: "No peace is ever by chance. If the elves and dwarves want to start a war, then we'll be next."

"Let's speed up the construction of the wizard tower first, do what we can, and wait and see!"

The Wizarding Council launched a large-scale construction of a wizarding tower in the Marquisate, and the Elven Royal Court reacted strongly as expected.

The Queen personally protested to the Kingdom's rulers (Sasa), expressing her utter bewilderment—

"Why do you allow wizards to act with impunity on your territory?"

"Could the rumors be true, that the dragon slayer actually comes from some evil wizarding family?"

Sasha didn't want to pay attention to that hypocritical elf, but the Queen insisted that an official response was still necessary, and started a war of words on her behalf.

“I don’t know what terrible things the wizards of that era did, but I can assure you that the new generation of wizards are not villains.”

"Please, Your Majesty, do not view them with prejudice; it would make you appear narrow-minded."

.......................................

The war of words between the two sides lasted for more than a month before being interrupted by an unprecedented massive insect plague in the north.

The swarms of insects blotted out the sky, devouring everything that everyone had worked so hard to grow in the fields.

The scale and suddenness of this insect plague caught the entire kingdom off guard.

"It must be the elves' doing!"

The Queen and Ankang held a surprisingly similar view, but unfortunately, there was no evidence.

Elves have always maintained an elegant and noble image in the minds of ordinary humans. If you accuse them without evidence, people may not necessarily choose to believe the kingdom's higher-ups.

"We must quickly procure food for disaster relief!"

"Sister, those insects have already flown south, and we may not be able to take care of ourselves."

The Queen's words proved prophetic!

The insect infestation raged through the summer and autumn seasons, only gradually subsiding as winter approached.

The south has abundant arable land, and every household has surplus grain.

With the capital city coordinating resources, it can barely maintain its operations.

north......

It's completely chaotic!

Uprisings broke out one after another, all involving raiding the homes of nobles to seize their grain.

Just when several noble families were about to stabilize the situation by joining forces, a certain illegitimate son made a grand entrance.

“I borrowed food from the elves and swords from the dwarves.”

"Everyone, fill your stomachs, arm yourselves, and overthrow the regent's tyranny!"

Here's the question: how can something that's clearly a 'natural disaster' be linked to the regent's tyranny?

"Those in power who cannot solve the pest infestation in time are incompetent."

"Under the Regent's leadership, no one can survive. What is this if not tyranny?"

"The incompetent rule tyrannically, and we must overthrow her!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Hochi revealed his identity as the eldest prince, which gave him a perfect image of legitimacy and righteousness.

.........................................

When the eldest prince raised an army in the north, the Bronzebeard clan immediately sent troops to support him.

The Elven royal court put on a show, with the queen first declaring that she would not interfere in the human civil war, and then announcing that she was severing all ties with her daughter, Karina.

Princess Karina angrily left, taking with her a large number of powerful elves who sympathized with her.

With the strong support of his sworn brother and wife, Prince Hochi swiftly unified the north and marched south!

"Aa ...

"What are you yelling about?" Lachesis looked at her sister helplessly.

"So the tyrant was me all along..."
