As a result, a year later...
When Aurelion reached adulthood, she was finally ready to formally ascend to the throne.
She appeared in the public eye and gave interviews.
Eighteen-year-old Aurelia stood tall and graceful, exuding an aura that combined youth and maturity.
His face was resolute, and his gaze was stern.
Simply standing before the palace, the unique nobility and elegance instilled a sense of obedience and reverence in everyone.
Ultimately, people's lives have improved, and even such a beautiful and aloof empress can be seen on the Magic Stone live stream.
Soon, the much-anticipated interview began.
Using a magic stone as a recording device, the reporter asked Aurelion some very ordinary questions.
For example, when will Princess Aurelion formally ascend the throne, and what are her views on the future development of the empire after her ascension?
And whether citizens' lives can be better protected.
These are simple questions that many people are concerned about, and the interviewer did not deliberately make things difficult for them.
What a joke! This is the future empress of the empire.
They dare to make things difficult for us? Don't they value their lives?
Although Aurelion has not yet ascended to the throne, everyone in the empire has already accepted her as the next emperor of the Karencia Empire.
This was already a done deal.
As a result, Aurelion did not answer these questions.
She simply smiled and shook her head.
"I think these are questions you shouldn't be asking me."
"After all, I am not the emperor of the Karencia Empire."
no?
Oh, that makes sense. The Empress hasn't officially ascended the throne yet; it's normal for her to become the Empress only after she takes the throne.
But then, the princess said something that left everyone in the empire completely stunned.
"Because I really like my teacher, I will officially marry him soon."
Buzz—
It seems that a reporter was so surprised that his fingers suddenly lost their grip, and the recording magic stone accidentally fell to the ground with a dull thud.
But this also brought everyone who was stunned back to their senses, leaving them speechless.
Wh...what!?
Queen Aurelion is going to marry Victor?
But doesn't Viktor have a fiancée? Holy crap?
But what shocked them even more were the many businessmen who had initially disliked the Cleviner family and hoped for its complete downfall.
Queen Aurelian is to marry the head of House Clyvenner?
That was the only sentence they remembered.
All you need to remember is this sentence.
Because at this moment, they fully understood the Clevner family's intention in handing over 80% of their assets to the Empire.
This isn't handing over to the national treasury; it's practically their own personal treasury!
Whether it's transferred from one hand to the other, it's all their own wealth.
Let alone 80%, even if it were 100%, what impact would that have?
On that day, all the voices questioning the Clevina family disappeared.
Because everyone who ever questioned this family has become a clown.
But this is not the end.
Next comes the most important and crucial part.
"After thinking about it, I realized that the tradition of passing the throne to sons rather than daughters still has some merit."
"After all, once there are offspring, it is mostly the mother who raises the children."
"Between my children and my country, I have no time to attend to both."
"so……"
The princess smiled slightly and announced her final decision to the interviewing magic stone camera, to the empire, and even to the entire world.
"After getting married, I will voluntarily step down."
"The throne will be inherited by my husband, Victor Clavner."
...
This earth-shattering news spread throughout the empire in no time.
The residents didn't care much; after all, it didn't matter who the emperor was, as long as they could have enough to eat and wear.
But the nobles turned the pot upside down.
That evening, almost all the nobles gathered together for a meeting.
He entered the palace early the next morning and specifically requested to see Princess Aurelion.
However, besides the princess, there was another person who appeared in the palace.
He was wearing a black trench coat and had his hands in his pockets.
His indifferent face revealed his handsomeness and pride, and his deep eyes reflected the stunned figures of each nobleman.
Most importantly, a crow was perched on the man's shoulder.
Just by facing them directly, all the nobles who originally wanted to speak fell silent.
Viktor's chilling aura was not something an ordinary person could confront.
Fortunately, there were still a few tough nuts to crack. The moment they saw Viktor, they gritted their teeth and cursed at him.
"You usurper, you shall die a horrible death!"
"If we had known you had this idea, we should have wiped you and your family out of the family the moment we found out!"
Those who dared to directly criticize Viktor were all veteran officials of the empire.
Their necks turned red, and they began to hurl insults.
His aged body trembled with anger, and the cane in his hand shook precariously.
If they weren't so weak from lacking crutches that they couldn't even stand, they would have loved to throw the crutches at Viktor on the spot.
Since they're all going to die soon anyway, they've long since stopped seeking any great wealth or luxury.
Even if I die, that will be the end of it all.
Seeing this, Victor did not refute it.
Instead, he glanced back at Aurelion and nodded slightly.
After more than a decade of teacher-student interaction, Aurelion immediately understood what Victor meant.
These are loyal ministers; they are capable.
Aurelion's pent-up anger dissipated, and she called over a few servants to bring chairs, helping them to sit down.
