The story of the Raiser family's rise to power begins before Aubrey's accession to the throne.
It is generally believed that the head of the Reiser family, Lipoult, married Lady Kasanna.
With the strong support of two emperors, they successfully controlled the economic lifeline of the southern part of the empire.
That's how he quickly rose to a high position.
However, the truth is far more complex than the general public's speculation.
The Duke of Reeves still remembers it vividly.
If only that incident hadn't happened back then.
He would likely be forced to marry Kasanna, and Erica would never have been born.
These old men, who followed the current emperor to the battlefield, were young...
The Karencia Empire at that time was far less powerful than it is now.
The emperor at that time was not the current Oberly, but the former Saul VII.
He was a dutiful emperor who had no great ambitions and whose policies were acceptable.
Although they have a small reputation in international affairs, they are by no means to be underestimated.
Throughout his life, he governed the empire, but he did not achieve much.
To this day, the Duke of Riviera still believes that Saul VII's greatest achievement was simply giving birth to the future Emperor Oberly.
Of course, he also has a precious daughter—Cassanna Saul.
As if they had planned it all along, they were determined to descend upon this rather ordinary emperor's household.
Both siblings are considered geniuses in their respective fields.
Aubrey was a military genius, with unparalleled military prowess.
Kasanna, on the other hand, has demonstrated an astonishing talent in both political and business governance.
As Kasanna grew day by day, her even more astonishing talent was gradually revealed.
That is called 'divine blessing'.
At the time, she was hailed as the "War Saintess".
Her mere presence was enough to elevate the soldiers' overall strength to a new level.
With Kasanna's talent enhanced, the Imperial soldiers were like divine warriors descending from the heavens, invincible and unstoppable.
In the end, her success and fame led to her having countless followers throughout the empire.
excellent?
Among these suitors, simply being outstanding is probably not enough to rank her.
They had to be perfect to be worthy of her.
She was a princess herself, of high status, and she also inherited the celestial beauty of the imperial princesses.
The title of "War Saintess" made her famous.
After that, everyone hoped to marry Kasanna.
If he can win Kasanna's heart, a soaring future is just around the corner.
Saul VII remained unperturbed, watching with amusement as the young men who were madly pursuing his daughter pursued him.
He was waiting too.
Among all his suitors, there must be one who is perfect, and at that time, he will betroth Kasanna to him.
But at that time,
Kasanna ignored the sea of suitors and only set her sights on Revi.
But by then, Levi already had someone he loved.
As a god of pure love, he could never go against his heart and be with Cassandra.
However, this is generally true for such a pure-love god of war.
If things don't go as planned, then something unexpected is going to happen.
Even Reeve himself wasn't quite sure whether this was Kasanna's deliberate revenge.
Back then, Aubrey, who had not yet ascended the throne, hurriedly approached him and told him that Kasanna was pregnant.
At that moment, Levi stood there dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.
He even wondered if he had misheard.
The news of the royal princess's pregnancy will undoubtedly have far-reaching consequences.
Of course, this secret was known only to a limited number of people, and not a word of it leaked out.
Revi was naturally included, because he was Kasanna's favorite person.
Similarly, he was also designated as the prime suspect.
At that time, Saul VII summoned Revy and asked him a question:
"My daughter, Cassandra, will you marry her or not?"
Levi could only stand in the center of the empty palace, clenching his fists helplessly.
He understood that this was blatant coercion.
However, he was not as powerful back then as he is now.
Even though Aubrey was speaking up for him, he advised his father that a thorough investigation was necessary and that Reeves should not be falsely accused.
It's easier said than done.
Where can I find this information?
How do I start the search?
If the princess's premarital pregnancy were made public, where would the royal family's reputation and face be?
King Saul VII certainly wanted to investigate, but he lacked the ability.
Although Reeves had sworn that his heart already belonged to someone else and that he could never have any other feelings for Cassanna.
However, the emperor insisted that he break his vow and marry the princess.
Because his daughter had to get married as soon as possible before she got pregnant.
Regardless of whether the child is actually Reeves's, marrying Kasanna is something Reeves must do.
Because Reeves was the best option at the time.
Moreover, it's common knowledge that Kasanna likes Reeves.
If this marriage can be arranged, it might even become a popular story.
As for Reeves' vow, probably no one but himself will remember it for long.
Regardless of the outcome, in the end, it's Reeves who suffers.
Nobody would be happy to be forced to wear such a hat out of nowhere.
As he wandered aimlessly through the streets, a golden light suddenly descended from the dark night sky.
