Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

Two days later, a shocking news spread throughout the empire.

Her Royal Highness, in the name of the director of the White Wing Chamber of Commerce, convened all the major media in the Duke of Booker and held an open press conference.

[Good morning, citizens of the empire, I am Keliya from the White Wing Chamber of Commerce. ]

People originally thought that this press conference was just some bland remarks by Her Royal Highness about the death of the Duke of Booker's heir.

——But as soon as the press conference started, they immediately heard an incredible news.

[Due to the recent abnormal flow of goods in the Duke of Booker's territory, the White Wing Chamber of Commerce conducted an informal investigation in the Duke's territory. Then, we learned a disturbing news from different channels. ]

[Duke Booker has had frequent contact with foreigners of unknown origin in recent times, and at the request of the other party, he has recruited a large number of mercenaries and bounty hunters into the Duke's territory. ]

[Based on the large amount of evidence recently obtained by the Chamber of Commerce, we are now convinced that Duke Booker is conspiring with foreign forces to rebel against the empire. 】

If this was just the result of an ordinary Chamber of Commerce survey, no one would believe this nonsense - but the person who said this was Her Royal Highness.

Even though everyone knows that the power of the royal family is not as strong as imagined, Her Royal Highness's public statement actually represents the meaning of the royal family.

[Duke Booker wanted to cover up his actions by forcing a marriage contract with the royal family, but due to the unfortunate death of William Booker, he now has to start forcibly advancing his rebellion plan. 】

[Since the Dukedom supplies more than 80% of the magic source stones in the empire, if Duke Booker suddenly rebels when the empire is invaded by foreign enemies, the consequences will be disastrous. 】

[So, I want to take this opportunity to make a public announcement to the entire empire - I will declare war on Duke Booker in my personal name until the rebellion crisis in the Dukedom is completely eliminated! 】

Although Her Royal Highness said "in her personal name", what she actually meant was "anyone can join her forces."

It was unrealistic for the princess to declare war on a duke in her personal name. How could a princess without any power system deal with a duke with a huge territory and a large population?

Relying on absolute strength? Even if a level 5 magician has strong firepower, it is impossible to withstand hundreds of opponents and endless sneak attacks and assassinations.

There have been countless cases in history where strong people who want to use their strength to surpass others were ruthlessly killed by weak people. Her Royal Highness is unlikely to make such a mistake.

So, she actually offered a generous price to those who support her.

——Magic Source Stone.

More than 80% of the magic source stones in the empire come from the Duke of Booker. Whoever can seize this territory can get a stable and generous income.

Even if the Duke's territory is eventually divided, these benefits are enough to make people take risks. Compared with the relatively poor border territory, the resources and wealth here are more coveted.

[Duke Buck will definitely use sophistry or bribery to convince some people of his words, but I am just a princess who has not appeared in public for ten years, and I have no persuasive power at all... So here, I will make another decision - from now on, I officially give up the title and identity of the Imperial Princess! ]

If those words just now still make people feel that it is a grudge between the nobles and the royal family, now that Her Royal Highness has suddenly come up with such a thing, the nature of the whole thing has changed completely.

- In order to prove that what she said is true, the princess actually gave up her identity and name? She must have come up with such an idea because she was forced into a desperate situation, right?

Since the princess has used her own reputation and identity as a guarantee... Duke Buck may really want to rebel against the empire!

[In addition, I do not recognize the marriage contract with the Duke Buck family, so I will definitely return all the insults and criticisms I have suffered for such unreasonable things. ]

...

The press conference ended here.

After seeing this public announcement, the whole empire was immediately in an uproar.

Her Royal Highness risked her status and reputation to accuse Duke Buck of plotting rebellion - this kind of thing cannot be casually brushed aside.

"I was also deeply surprised to hear about this... Duke Buck is a pillar of the empire and should not be criticized without evidence. Therefore, I have decided to formally abolish the status of Princess Claire Armand of the Empire and demote her to a commoner, and at the same time revoke her right to use Armand as her surname."

Not long after the press conference, the Emperor Armand VII of the Empire also made a public speech.

"Regarding the conspiracy of Duke Buck's family to rebel, although I know that it is just a rumor,There are rumors of conspiracy, but in order to dispel the public's doubts, I will send an independent investigation team to the Duke of Booker to find out the source of the rumors and severely punish the rumormongers. "

The emperor punished the princess directly without asking whether she was right or wrong, and even formally abolished her status - this approach made many people feel puzzled.

Is Her Royal Highness really just slandering the Duke of Booker?

"--The independent investigation team will be led by Duke Oufei, and will report to me in real time. "

However, the subsequent decision immediately made those who were interested aware of the emperor's intention.

This was not a punishment for the princess at all, but a privilege to allow her to act freely.

Although Duke Oufei and Duke Booker belonged to the same aristocratic circle, he would definitely not favor Duke Booker in the face of such huge interests.

After all, as long as Duke Booker was really overthrown, the resources in this territory would be redistributed - and Duke Oufei, as the lord of the neighboring area, naturally had a great chance of getting a share of it.

"In addition, since Keliya is about to lose her status as an imperial princess, all previous engagements made in the name of the royal family will be abolished at the same time... It is really sad that my daughter is so naughty. "

——And the emperor's last addition was a complete derogation.

Because the princess was demoted to a commoner, the engagement between Duke Booker and the royal family was naturally invalid.

After losing the most important identity, who would care who a commoner planned to marry in the future? Want to force her to marry? How could a fifth-level magician without identity constraints be so easy to catch?

And there was another most important thing that the emperor deliberately did not mention... The ownership of the Yumenhua was not taken back.

Although it was a warship, it was actually the princess's palace. Now the emperor did not mention it at all, which actually left room for maneuver for this matter.

If Duke Booker was really plotting a rebellion, then Her Royal Highness could return to the royal family in a legitimate way.

"...The aristocratic circle of the empire is going to be reshuffled."

So, people finally came to such a disturbing conclusion.
