After that, Louise and the red ponytail's life temporarily returned to normal. The royal family didn't come looking for them again, and no one knew where Tabasa had gone after that, so everyone returned to peace for a while.
Fangzheng himself was also very relaxed. He was multitasking, teaching Firut and Amelia about politics and ideology, and at the same time, teaching Louise how to practice psionic energy with his two red ponytails. He was doing quite well.
In contrast, Lina was still happy and carefree on Olympus's side, completely ignoring Fangzheng's anxious mood.
But on the other side, in Louise's world, the situation wasn't so harmonious.
"Everyone seems to be very nervous recently."
"It's because of that rebellion."
Although it was close to the festival, the atmosphere on the streets looked quite tense, and the red ponytail knew a little about it. This world wasn't peaceful. Although Amelia's world also faced the threat of demon kings like Pluto, other than that, there weren't any major problems. But this wasn't the case in this world. In fact, the red ponytail had already investigated the situation in this world and had some understanding of the current situation in this country.
Right now, this continent was in the midst of war.
The neighboring country, Albion, was suffering from a rebellion by the nobles. The royal family was overthrown, and it was rumored that they wanted to restore the glory of their ancestors and reunite the originally fragmented Holy Land. These people were also known as the Restoration Alliance. And now, Albion was under attack by the Restoration Alliance. Once Albion fell, Torristine would be next.
Because of this, under the threat of war, even the Birth Ceremony didn't seem lively at all. Even the petals that fell on the streets seemed weak and lifeless.
"I didn't expect such a thing to happen in Albion. It's simply incomprehensible."
"I think it's quite understandable. To be honest, I quite admire those guys."
After taking a bite of fruit, the red ponytail shrugged. Hearing her words, Louise widened her eyes in surprise and looked at the red ponytail.
"Are you serious? Those nobles overthrew the royal family of Albion! "
"If a ruler is immoral, it's normal for them to be overthrown. No matter what the situation in Albion is, since the royal family is powerless to reverse the situation, it means that they brought this upon themselves. "
The red ponytail didn't have the slightest idea that the nobles and the royal family were sacred and inviolable. What a joke! Back then, the peasants had already broken into the palace once or twice, okay?
"You too, Louise. Your identity can't protect you, nor can it solve the problem. When a sword approaches you, the only thing that can protect you is not your identity, but your strength. I advise you to remember this. There's nothing great about a king, and he's not three-headed and six-armed. If he can't show his ability as a ruler, it's normal for him to end up like this. "
"But, but …"
Louise couldn't accept the answer from the red ponytail.
"But no matter what, the royal family has a noble bloodline …"
"After the king dies, he will also rot in the swamp. It's not because he wears a crown that he dies cleaner than the commoners. In the face of death, everyone is equal, and time is the same. The so-called noble bloodline is just a product used to flaunt one's uniqueness …. To put it bluntly, it's just a way to cover up one's incompetence. "
The red ponytail snorted softly. She hated the theory of bloodlines the most. After all, in the Moon World, Fangzheng single-handedly overthrew and completely destroyed the tradition of the magicians that had lasted for two thousand years.
"To be honest, if I was summoned in Albion, I would definitely help the Restoration Alliance."
After all, deep in the red ponytail's heart, she also had a deep desire to unify the world. In her opinion, it was very natural for the Restoration Alliance to unify the originally divided Haruk and Virginia. As for the worries and resistance of Louise and others, it was not a big deal at all.
When the Qin State swept the six states, the nobles and ministers probably saw the Qin State as the Restoration Alliance. Emperor Qin was even described as a tyrant. However, he eventually left behind a unified country that lasted to this day. Emperor Qin's reputation was even more lasting, and no one would forget it.
As for the unrepentant literati, nobles, and ministers of the six states, they were just mantises in front of the wheel of history. They became the background clowns under the glory of Emperor Qin.
"Saber, do you really think those guys are good?"
Hearing this, Louise became more and more dissatisfied, but the red ponytail still calmly picked up a skewer of barbecue.
"As far as I'm concerned? I don't have any opinion on this. Generally speaking, we don't get involved. Of course, I was summoned by you as your familiar, so if your life is in danger, then I will naturally protect you. But if I were to talk about my own thoughts, it would be that I don't think there's anything wrong with their idea of unifying the entire Holy Land. If they succeed, perhaps the history books of future generations will regard them as great heroes, and those who resist will be regarded as fools who overestimate themselves. "
"How is that possible!"
Louise's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it.
"They are clearly the invaders! And overthrowing the royal family is simply unforgivable! "
"Why is it unforgivable?"
"This … …"
Faced with the red ponytail's rhetorical question, Louise couldn't answer for a while.
"If the royal family can't govern the country well, then they deserve to be overthrown and let better people govern."
"But now those nobles are rebelling!"
"Being unable to suppress the rebellion of the nobles is enough to show the incompetence of the royal family."
The red ponytail was unmoved. What a joke. Which emperor in the history of the Celestial Empire was afraid of forming a clique and controlling the government? Generally, when this kind of eunuch's party ran amok and the East Military Factory brought disaster to the country, it almost meant that the ruler had completely lost control, and the whole country was not far from collapse.
"Then, what if the same thing happened in Torristine?"
"I will protect your life. After all, you are my summoner."
"What about this country?"
"That's none of my business."
The red ponytail ate the last skewer of barbecue in her hand and spread her hands.
"For me, it doesn't matter whether the royal family of this country is overthrown or not. Or, for me, it might be better if it's overthrown. After all, it's stupid to determine one's status by bloodline. I heard that the current Grand Council of this country seems to be a commoner, but the nobles have always looked down on him. Hehehe, if one day he becomes the king, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he arrested and beheaded the nobles. "
"You … How dare you say such a thing!"
Louise's face was already pale, and the red ponytail looked at her with a serious expression.
"In our world, it's very stupid to evaluate a person's status by bloodline instead of ability. In that world, if these nobles want to use their family's reputation and bloodline to gain respect, they will only be ridiculed. Of course, every noble has their own glory. Maybe their ancestors made great contributions, or maybe they were meritorious ministers. However, what does this have to do with others? It's obvious that these things were done by their ancestors with their lives on the line, but the descendants shamelessly use it as a symbol of their own glory. Don't you think it's ridiculous? "
"…"
"Louise, it's the same for you. Bloodline doesn't mean anything. Indeed, it may be great for nobles to know magic, but if the commoners really want to rebel against you, they can defeat you even without the weapons I provide. "
"Just by relying on those commoners?"
Hearing this, Louise frowned with disdain, while the red ponytail stared at her.
"That's right, Albion is just the beginning. Maybe one day, the nobles of this world will be completely overthrown. There will be no more kings, no more nobles. Of course, there may be changes in the social classes, but the era where you can arrogantly order others around as long as you rely on bloodline will never return. "
"…"
This time, Louise did not speak immediately. She was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice.
"Are you talking about your world?"
"More or less."
The red ponytail shrugged. She did not deny the treatment of different classes, but she was opposed to the division of classes based on bloodline. In her opinion, it was only natural that those with ability should be at the top, and those without ability should be at the bottom. If you didn't have the ability, then you deserved to be at the bottom of society, but if you had the ability, you could go further.
Of course, this was not really fair. After all, ability itself was a very mysterious thing, but at least compared to bloodline, it was quite reliable.
"…"
Louise was silent for a moment, then stood up.
"Let's go back."
"Not going to watch the parade? Didn't you say that the princess would come out? "
"I'm not interested."
"Okay then."
The red ponytail naturally wanted to correct Louise's opinion. To be honest, the red ponytail did not have a good impression of the country of Torristine. The country's bloodline system was too strict. As long as one was a noble, they must be superior to others. This attitude made the red ponytail very unhappy. If it wasn't for the fact that someone from this country had summoned her … Forget it, there was no point in talking about this now.
She might as well give Louise a lesson in ideology and politics.
After that, Louise, who had lost interest in watching the festival, returned to her room. She sat at the table and flipped through a book without saying a word, just like Tabassa. The red ponytail did not seem to mind at all. After all, for a noble girl living in this era, what she said was simply earth-shattering. It was only natural that Louise needed some time to think about it.
But in the evening, when the two were about to rest, an unexpected guest suddenly came.
"Louise, I really don't know what to do."
Wearing a black cloak, the person who walked into the room with a shy look on her face was none other than the princess of this country that the red ponytail had seen before – Angelietta.
After closing the door, she rushed over almost instantly and hugged Louise tightly.
"Your Royal Highness? How frightening, you … "
Faced with this sudden scene, Louise was obviously also stunned.
"Don't be so formal. Aren't we good friends? Louise? There are no ministers here, no mother and no nobles here. Can't you treat me like before? "
"No, of course not! But why are you here? "
"Louise …"
Angelietta let go of the young lady in her arms and looked at her with a sorrowful expression. Then, she said.
She then said, "I'm getting married."
