Chapter 645: Consequences of the Compet.i.tion
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sophie could not bear the news. No matter how strong she was in the past, she was only a bereaved person at this moment.
Moreover, that person was her grandfather who doted on her. She had not even seen him for the last time.
“If only I had chosen to go back. I might have been able to see him one last time.” Sophie covered her face and wept. “I let my grandfather down.”
Sophie was almost overwhelmed with regret, relying on Gao Tian to keep from collapsing to the ground.
Jiang An also regretted persuading Sophie to stay in Xiyun. She did not expect the old king to die so quickly. She thought there was still time to delay.
“Sophie, I’m sorry. If I hadn’t persuaded you, things wouldn’t have turned out this way,” Jiang An apologized.
She had never pushed her mistakes to anything else. As long as she did something wrong, she had to admit it.
Sophie shook her head. “You have nothing to apologize for. You said those things for my safety. No one knew death would come so soon.”
Gao Tian chimed in, “You’re not at fault at all. All the problems you mentioned could still exist, if Sophie returned and faced those problems, she might be detained and never come back. Moreover, you gave us the choice to stay.”
They were both reasonable people. No matter what, Jiang An could not be blamed for this regret. It was not like she had forcefully detained them and refused to let them go. It could only be said to be bad timing.
Gao Jing was stunned. He did not expect his great-grandfather, who doted on him, to leave just like that.
He was not an ignorant young man. He had long known what death meant. He had also attended a few funerals and understood that death meant that he would never see someone again. When he reacted, he cried silently.
“Mom, are we going to see our maternal great-grandfather?” Gao Jing asked.
Sophie hesitated. Of course she wanted to go back and bury her grandfather, but if she did, she would be embroiled in the struggle for the crown.
“An’an, do you know what’s going on in the country now?” Sophie asked as she wiped the tears off her face.
She didn’t have time to grieve now. She had to be strong as soon as possible to deal with the upcoming storm and protect her family.
Jiang An explained the situation to her in detail. Now, a few people with inheritance rights were testing each other. All of them said that they wanted to get the crown prince back, but none of them were really taking action. They couldn’t wait for the crown prince to disappear just like that.
The people did not know that the king had pa.s.sed away and were still sincerely praying for him, but this peace would soon be broken.
“And these people seem to be contacting the army. They seem to want to resolve everything by force,” Jiang An added.
“Are they crazy?” Sophie could not accept this news. “If we really use force, only the people will be injured. Not only will the war bring bloodshed and sacrifice, but the country’s economy will also regress. The consequences of rising prices and inflation will only be borne by the people.”
Jiang An did not expect Sophie to worry about the people immediately. After all, she was born into the royal family and had been used to living a luxurious life since she was young. It would have made sense to think differently from ordinary people.
This news was more to tell her that the royal family of Country F was already in chaos. It would definitely be dangerous if she went back rashly.
Sophie paced back and forth anxiously. “As I recall, the army follows my grandfather’s orders directly. Even if he dies, the power will be transferred to the crown prince. They will never listen to any prince or princess. They probably won’t succeed.”
“That’s only temporary,” Zou Bai said. “The king they’re loyal to has pa.s.sed away. They have to have a new king they’re loyal to. If they can support a member of the royal family to ascend to the throne, the status of the army in Country F will increase greatly.”
Sophie could not accept this conjecture for a moment, but she knew Zou Bai was right. Few people could resist such temptation. After a while, the army would definitely choose the person they were loyal to.
“There are so many generals in the army. If they each choose the person they want to be loyal to, the disintegrating army will become enemies with each other.” Jiang An said the more terrifying consequences.
Sophie sat down slowly in her chair. “Do you know what my mother is going to do now?” she asked, calming down.
Of course, Zou Bai got the people from the Intelligence Network to pay attention. He said, “She’s contacting the government of Country F’s neighboring country to get their support. Most of the other royal family members are doing the same, but they’re looking for different people..”
