Just take a look, if you can't see it, forget it.

"He's here, but we can't see him."

"Why?"

"Although we can't discuss him, it's okay to tell you this. You must not know that since the death of Queen Usuda, the royal handbook has been revised in Smantu. From now on, the royal power will be replaced every four years."

Zhiyun asked, "Doesn't that mean that from now on, there will be no true king at the helm?"

“No, there are those in power.”

Ralph took her hand and stepped back a little, keeping a certain distance from the people in front. Then he told her, "The royal power changes so quickly that no monarch can actually take power after the succession. The Duchess once said that His Royal Highness Murshidi and His Royal Highness Louis are likely still alive because they are involved with the Teng Mansion, which possesses ancient forbidden techniques. The true ruler behind the Smantu royal power will not be every monarch."

After listening to what Ralph told her, Zhiyun thought back to the rumors that Wei Lai had found out not long ago.

Rumors are just rumors, and if they don't exist, they won't be groundless.

So, it is possible that Princes Murshidi and Louis are actually alive?

Wow, a man over 200 years old...

Zhiyun guessed in her heart:

[Because they had lived for hundreds of years, they were monsters that were not allowed to exist and could not live in the light. Therefore, when they came to power, they revised the royal manual and held a coronation ceremony every four years in order to consolidate the royal power in their hands.]

Every monarch who grew in power abdicated before he had the chance to seize the throne.

Even in ancient times, forcing abdication would take at least a dozen years of planning.

If that’s the case…

"Zhiyun, what are you thinking about?" Ralph asked her.

Zhiyun smiled, shook her head and said, "Nothing, I'm just surprised."

"By the way," she asked, "In that case, why did that mysterious man from Fuji Mansion want to participate in the coronation ceremony?"

"He has the seal and scepter, and that's tacitly acknowledged. It's because of that seal and scepter that everyone believes he must be backed by Murshidi or Louis. In fact, we all firmly believe that Murshidi and Louis still exist."

At this moment, Ralph told Zhiyun too much information about the royal family.

She absorbs and digests information quickly.

It was mainly because Wei Lai had explained these to her some time ago.

Otherwise, she would probably be confused for a long time.

"Well, have you seen what the mysterious man in Teng Mansion looks like? I'm just curious." She explained deliberately, fearing that Ralph would become suspicious of her.

But she was overthinking it. Ralph never doubted her from beginning to end.

Ralph shook his head and said, "I have never seen what he looks like because my title is not high enough to see him, but the Duchess has seen him."

Mrs. Laura has seen...

Then, Madam Laura must know what the Lord of Teng Mansion looks like.

But even if Mrs. Laura knew, she couldn't go to Mrs. Laura to ask, just like what Ralph said just now, she couldn't talk about that person.

Not to mention, asking about that person.

It's a direct violation of the taboo.

"Thank you for telling me this today," she thanked Ralph.

Ralph said you're welcome and asked her, "I don't know your name yet."

"Weaving clouds." This was abroad, so she could only describe it with another meaning. "In Eastern mythology, there is a fairy named Zhinu. A cloud floated over and became a weaving cloud."
