The Queen of Dibiles, Lestier, wants a child. She is not attracted to any of the men in the world, so she has no intention of getting married. However, she still desires a child. The reason is not hard to imagine: she urgently needs an heir to ensure that her vast kingdom will continue to be ruled by the second generation, even a hundred years later. As the ancients said, marriage is a compromise! Lestier doesn't want to settle, so she reaches out to the forbidden realm of magic.
By magically mixing her own blood, Lestier creates her own daughter without anyone else's knowledge. Since this matter can easily provoke criticism, Lestier finds a young nobleman. The Queen orders him to play along and publicly proclaim the baby as their child. The nobleman unknowingly marries and becomes a father, never even stepping foot into Lestier's room. Poor guy.
But the worst is yet to come. Although Lestier has no feelings for her so-called husband, she is worried about what will happen to her after she is gone. She doesn't want her "hat to fall from the sky while she lies in the grave." Furthermore, to pave the way for her successor, Lestier doesn't want her husband to have any influence on the stability of the court. Similarly, she doesn't want the imperial throne, which is passed down from mother to daughter, to evolve into a result where it is passed down from husband to wife.
After several days of contemplating, the Queen comes up with a hundred reasons to convince herself that her husband must die. Each reason emphasizes the conclusion that the emperor must die. So, when her daughter turns three, twenty-five years before the Queen's departure from this world, the officially recognized emperor is executed one day. The charge of execution is quite thought-provoking: the Queen claims she likes sweet sandwiches while the emperor likes salty ones, and thus...
This charge receives nationwide recognition and indirectly proves that a passing remark made by the Queen carries an irrefutable weight for the entire empire. The emperor is executed, and his nominally recognized daughter, too young to remember anything at the time, doesn't leave any deep memories or emotions for her father.
In the years to come, the princess, under her mother's guidance, gradually grows into a qualified ruler. Twenty-five years later, Lestier passes away, leaving behind a long-lasting empire as the unbeatable first queen. In the year of Lestier's death, her daughter, Neueil, prepares to inherit the throne and plans to make it known to the world that the royal bloodline of Dibiles is unique and that her mother's distant relatives have no qualifications to be the legitimate successors.
Of course, Neueil could not directly ascend to the throne. Before the official enthronement, a large group of courtiers would enter the palace as if it had been arranged in advance (which it actually had) and persuade Neueil to take the throne. The reaction of the person in question, naturally, would be one of surprise, waving their hand and refusing while displaying a "Why are you so kind?" expression.
The courtiers would not give up easily, bowing and even joking about death (just talk).
The reaction of these people was as if Neyelle shouldn't have become the emperor, and they couldn't live anymore because of it.
In order to not make everyone sad and with the intention of "saving lives," Neyelle reluctantly ascended the throne to save those ministers who were in danger.
Lastly, Neyelle had a few more words to say to prove her innocence, and the content of her words were nothing more than:
"I didn't want it to be this way."
"It's all because you forced me."
It was just similar to the above-mentioned words.
Note:
Before any monarch opens their mouth to say such words, they must recall a book they have read countless times, and that book's title is:
"On an Actor's Self-discipline!"
Please believe that a monarch who can't perform will never be a good emperor.
When Neyelle said these words, her facial expression looked very painful, as if she was about to be taken for execution.
At the same time, the ministers rolled their eyes, silently recalling the steps they practiced at home;
At this crucial moment, the ministers should not say a word, only bowing down and trying to make the sound of knocking heads drown out the new emperor's shouts.
After wasting some time with each other, the people in the palace and the people outside the palace, the coronation ceremony was considered complete;
At this moment, Neyelle and those ministers shared an unspoken feeling of exhaustion.
There is a saying "A new emperor sets three fires," but Neyelle, as the second generation emperor, belonged to the kind of honest person who stays within their boundaries;
At the beginning of her reign, she did not create any major news, but rather summarized her mother's life in nine words:
Create trouble! Create trouble! Create trouble!
However, Neyelle did not inherit her mother's talent for causing trouble, she just wanted to be a quiet and lovely girl, passing the time by roasting fish and practicing calligraphy in the palace.
Compared to future emperors like Dibiles, Neyelle could be considered the most talented one;
It can be said that she was full of artistic creativity... ah, no, artistic cells.
During Lestier's lifetime, he didn't teach his daughter anything about painting and calligraphy because he didn't know those things himself.
With that analysis, Neyelle could be considered self-taught.
If there were no surprises, Neyelle would have continued to live a tranquil life as an "imperial second generation" who just eats and waits for death.
Unfortunately, fate, filled with perverse tastes, seemed to not want her to continue this peaceful life;
In the second year of Neyelle's reign, a big event occurred in the west, to be exact:
The orcs, who had been enslaved by humans for many years, gathered over a million of their kind that year and officially declared their independence!
"Orcs will never be slaves!"
Shouting this slogan contrary to the truth, the orcs launched a war against the Wang Empire.
The first to suffer was Dibiles.
From a standpoint of hatred, Dibiles was the country that had caused the least harm to the orcs, and now it inexplicably received the first blow, which really puzzled many people at the time.
In fact, it's easy to understand because Dibiles' borders were adjacent to some areas with harsh geographical conditions;
And those areas, even hundreds of years later, remained the main activity range for the orcs.
In other words, the orcs attacked Dibiles first mainly because it was close and they could immediately see their target when they stepped out, it wouldn't make sense if they didn't attack.
The border erupted in flames, and the ministers had a question for the emperor:
Your Majesty, should we fight?
Nuier had something to say:
We must fight!
At this moment, a thought lingered in her mind:
There will always be rebellious commoners who wish to harm us!
Why was her attitude towards going to war so resolute?
Because the territory occupied by the orcs had exceptionally beautiful scenery.
If they couldn't reclaim that land, even in the future, it would be difficult for the Emperor to go outside and enjoy the breeze.
Since the decision to fight had been made, Nuier should also prepare to go to the front lines.
It was a tradition for the emperor to personally lead the army.
From the first empress to Isabella's generation, any emperor who didn't have the courage to go to the front lines would be too embarrassed to call themselves a member of the royal family.
Nuier reigned for a total of 32 years, spending 11 years in continuous warfare and 19 years in intermittent conflicts.
The great war later known as the "Thirty-Year War" finally ended with peace talks between the two sides. The Dibiles Empire defeated the main orc forces and protected all territories except the border.
Even though the orcs suffered heavy losses, they managed to persuade the Dibiles royal family to give up that area in the final peace talks because they had turned the border into a desolate land.
Afterwards, the orcs settled in the region unsuitable for human habitation, gaining a basic living space and forming an alliance with Dibiles.
Using the border area as a development space, the orcs officially established their own country a few years later. It became the majority of the Orcish Wang Kingdom's territory 600 years later.
In this war, the young orc boy who had been saved by Wang Xiaole relied on his developed mind and became a strategic genius in charge of a certain part of the battlefield.
For the next 20 years, the young boy participated in battles every year, with a combat rate of 200%. Perhaps his survival until the end had to do with the small target and the enemy's difficulty in targeting him.
After the war, due to his accumulated military merits and certain reputation, the young boy, known as the "Shorty General," became one of the initial important ministers of the Orcish Wang Kingdom.
Starting from this young boy's generation, none of the seven rulers of the Orcish Wang Kingdom were from the Lion or Tiger tribes. After the seventh generation, their descendants stepped forward in battle, surpassing all the nobles and seizing the throne, establishing the "Bai Clan Cat Tribe Wang Family."
Indeed, the young boy was the ancestor of the White Cat.
The chaos caused by the orcs greatly affected the entire continent, causing many countries to suffer.
These small countries in the western continent were like girls wearing only underwear on the path of the orc army. They were pushed down by the orc forces and never managed to stand up again.
On the grand march, the orcs also didn't forget to seek revenge against the Southern Family, who had a deep blood feud with them.
Even if they learned that the main line of the Southern Family had already been severed, they showed no mercy. In one swoop, they completely wiped out the collateral branches of the Southern Family during a cleansing operation.
Thus, this slave-trading family that had existed for generations and once held immense power on the continent was destroyed at the genetic level.
There was no other way. If you associate with the wrong crowd, you will eventually have to pay the price.
