[Day 125]
Today there was some more news about the state of the Athetosea Kingdom brought to me by my Flesh and Slime Minions and Alice.
The Champion of Psychic Eyes is being pressured against a wall, as the nobles haven't stopped asking for a response from her. She has remained mostly silent while gathering information with her organization and secretly talking with the Royal Family.
Although the King and the Royal Family are supposed to be the highest authority in the Kingdom, that is quite far from the truth. Several Noble Families that are working together possess wealth and the authority of the various masses of land.
Both sides of the nobles are as influential or can even surpass King's influence and authority. This is why the King has not been able to stop the internal conflicts.
Yes, several Noble Houses are extremely loyal to the Royal Family, but these just don't compare to the giant merchant families that have massive monopolies.
