It is not that democracy is far inferior to aristocracy.
In the struggle for power in the superficial world such as finance and reporting, the democrats are, in a sense, superior to the aristocrats.
However, when it comes to decisions regarding the crown, where only the twelve families that support the Clock Tower have the right to vote, aristocracy is inherently more advantageous.
This is a difference in nature.
Democracy has absorbed the new generation of magicians and even aspires to reach a higher level. On the other hand, as a new force, it will lag behind in the traditional decision-making of the crown.
For example, if Barthemero, the leader of the aristocracy, took action, then Gaius, the Animal Division, who had effectively become their puppet, would also be forced to act. Furthermore, the same could be said of Acherot, the Plant Division, who was also a member of the aristocracy.
On top of that, if we include the Spiritualist, Astronomical, and Mineral Sciences, the Aristocracy has six votes.
In fact, half of the twelve families are aristocratic.
In contrast, the only clear democracies are Trumberio of the General Foundation and Baruyereta of the Creative Science.
The remaining four families were neutral, essentially pro-Kingdom, completely obedient to the will of the King of Britain. The rest of the time, they were fence-sitters, siding with whichever side was stronger, as long as it didn't interfere with their magical research.
If there is a total war.
There is no reason for aristocracy to lose.
However, aristocracy is not without weaknesses. Precisely because of its long history, it is not as solid as a rock.
For example, Acheron in the plant family is a typical example.
Although it is aristocratic, the media has a strong tendency and even got involved in military enterprises until the previous generation.
In other words, the more the number of participants increases, the less clear it is that someone will betray you. This is the biggest weakness of aristocracy.
If you can get the support of the King of Britain.
Then democracy can reverse the situation in the Clock Tower and even dethrone Barthemero.
Such is McNadal's ambition.
All of this is based on his ability to win Moran's approval.
As for Moran?
He himself is not very interested in power struggles.
As long as the magician of the Clock Tower doesn't kill himself, he basically thinks it doesn't matter much.
It's just that we look at this game from the perspective of the new king.
That still makes people feel quite interesting.
This power struggle is centered around him, and the future can be determined by the will of the new king.
So, he won't let his mind escape from this game.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to fulfill your original intention.
Now, the monarch of the clock tower is the actor who prepares the play, and he is the judge responsible for scoring.
However, the Democrats made a killing move at this time, which was an open conspiracy against Bartomero. Considering Bartomero's position, this was very dangerous for them.
Moran assessed the situation.
As a student in the El-Melloi classroom, he was familiar with the Clock Tower and the power dynamics within it.
This power struggle was turbulent for the new king.
It is human nature to be obsessed with power.
Moran believes that desire is not a bad thing.
The underlying command of the technique he set for Britain's foundation was to "maintain everything in Britain." If the new king could achieve this, he would be able to wield power with ease.
This is fine in Moran's opinion.
"Maintaining the Clock Tower...something like that..."
The hoarse voice attracted McDanel.
"I said...you guys are going to maintain the Clock Tower..."
"Naturally, the future of magicians is here."
"...Ha...how stupid..."
In response to McDaniel's answer, Loufreus made no secret of his disappointment.
"The future of Britain...is the future of us magi...You don't want to restore the prosperity of the Age of Gods...you even want to trouble our Supreme King to judge...you vainly attempt to exploit such risky resources..."
He rapped his knuckles against the gem on his chest, showing his yellowed teeth.
Although he is arrogant, he does not seem arrogant.
It was as if it was extremely natural, as if he was describing a custom passed down from the past.
"If there aren't enough spell powers... just cut back on the new generation... If that's still not enough... just cut back on the boring branch families... Furthermore, there's no need to invest manpower and resources... in the redevelopment of Albion..."
Rufreus found it vulgar to share the mystery in order to maintain the Clock Tower.
This is the theory of elitism that is aristocracy.
He believed that as long as he could become the sharpest sword in Britain, that would be enough.
Treat other people's lives like spare parts, almost without any care.
But, for the magician, that's not wrong.
Even in democracy, there is no change in the selection of talents.
Magicians are just a rare mutant species in modern times. They are able to maintain their current glory thanks to the blessing of Britain.
And democracy is only compromising its standards by welcoming a new generation due to a shortage of labor.
Ultimately, it was Britain that allowed them access to the mystery, without the need to expend manpower to share it.
Both sides now hold their own views and neither can convince the other.
The Democratic camp said:
"If we can advance in the mystical realm in the short term, the achievements of the magicians will also benefit Britain's future. Therefore, exploring the Albion Spirit Cave is necessary."
In fact, the two major factions have been arguing about this topic for more than a hundred years.
It is naturally impossible to let go easily.
With the new king ascending the throne, this is one of the few opportunities to finalize this decision.
"McNadal, Enolai, are you planning to start a fight here?"
Lorelai's beautiful eyes shone with coldness.
She saw through the sinister intentions of the democratic camp.
In the past, Bartomero would only take action at critical moments and would not take action at other times.
Because any action they take will have a huge impact on the Clock Tower, their authority in the Clock Tower is absolute.
If you want to take action, you must not lose.
If you lose despite having such authority, the terminal family, which is not to be feared, will immediately bite back.
Bartomero's idea is to not intervene, let the people below fight freely, and always maintain this attitude and position.
In this way, no matter who wins or loses, their prestige will never collapse.
Although the aristocratic faction was absolute, it was not certain to win - this was the current situation of the Clock Tower.
Now, Moran ascends the throne as the new king.
Barthemelo's authority fell under the king's.
This already delicate balance is about to be broken by Moran.
McNadal's advice to the new king forces Lorelai to get involved in the struggle.
In this supreme decision of the crown, the long-accumulated contradictions between the two factions are about to erupt.

"That's it for now."
Moran stopped it with just one word.
The two major factions of the Clock Tower are about to erupt.
"I am aware of your anxiety.
However, this decision on the title of Grand Master is not intended to determine the future of the magic world for you, right? "
As the voice rang out in the decision room.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
It was as if an overwhelming mass condensed into an image.
In an instant, all the monarchs felt terror, it was a chilling scene like the roar of thousands of beasts.
When I came to my senses, I was sweating profusely.
They didn't know where this power came from.
The monarchs from both the aristocratic and democratic camps, who had been arguing endlessly, immediately shut up.
"Well......"
Lorelai turned her gaze towards the throne.
For a moment, she seemed to see a perfect figure.
His jet-black hair and eyes, paired with a flawlessly elegant face, were free of any carelessness or laziness, brimming with the dignity and majesty of a monarch through the ages.
It's like an illusion of a mirage.
The next second, when she came back to her senses,
What he saw was a rude person lying on the throne, yawning, with laziness and inattention written all over his face.
"That's...what's going on..."
Lorelai wasn't sure if it was a hallucination or reality.
Clearly, in this decision-making room nestled in the ancient heart of the earth, any abnormality couldn't possibly occur. She had always adhered to the Barthelmero family motto.
He must always maintain the demeanor of a king and stand tall in Britain as the pinnacle of modern magicians.
But, she was hesitant at that moment.
If Lorelai is a beautiful and heroic lioness, then what she just faced was a thousand-meter-long dragon lurking in the abyss.
I didn't feel any hostility from it.
On the contrary, I also feel the glow of loving kindness.
It was awe-inspiring, a light that could melt the soul. She wondered if the other monarchs had noticed.
"An illusion...?"
Lorelai glanced at the other monarchs.
As a result, I only found that their faces were more confused, and they did not have the same emotional changes as me.
The monarchs glanced at Moran on the throne.
I saw that the other party still looked relaxed.
Most people do not think that it is the pressure that Moran can release, but rather that it is the power of Britain.
The monarchs couldn't help swallowing when they recalled it.
I personally understood why the previous monarchs of their respective families would give countless words of advice and warnings when they abdicated.
You must offer absolute loyalty to the King of Britain.
I thought it was just the deterrent power of the blood pact.
As it turns out, the truth isn't quite what they thought.
Anyone who is chosen by Britain will definitely become king. Even if he is not yet mature enough to be a king, he still has the proof of being a king.
