The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1386

Chapter 1386: Issues of the Monarchy

That was their great dilemma. Karl knew that the goal was to make Rue the Queen of an entire nation full of dragons, ones who valued draconic lineage and power above all else.

So, if the world didn’t see her as worthy, then it didn’t really matter what they did. The people would never accept someone who was too weak or not dragon enough as their Queen.

At best, a concubine or consort of the King.

"Do you think that we’re going to have problems with the Queen? She definitely did not look happy with Rue’s advancement." Karl asked Prince Lukas quietly as Cara, Nyx and Rue got into a conversation about their day.

"One hundred percent, yes. But that is why father put her under my protection. The Queen will be limited in the actions that she can take, and that will increase the odds that nothing permanent happens to Rue.

After the incident in the dining hall, there is an opening where we might be able to shake some of her support among the Elders and Advisors. But the chances of anything major being done to stop her are low.

The Queen has too much power for that.

The only thing that will really change is if the King orders her imprisoned as a threat to the Royal Family, or if he steps down and I take the throne early." Lukas replied.

"Won’t she still have strong political influence as your mother?" Karl asked.

"Oh, I’m not from her clutch. I am the firstborn Prince." He explained.

Karl frowned. "I feel like there is a distinction that I am missing here."

Barry chuckled from behind Karl, then moved to stand with them.

"What he means is, he was born before the King was crowned as King, and before he was married. His mother is the first Concubine, a classmate of the King’s from the Shadow Dragon Clan." The Librarian elaborated.

"Oh, so it’s like that. Well, I can’t say that I don’t understand. The woman who would become my wife often spent evenings in my room while we were at school. So, there would be a very real chance that I might have ended up like the King, had our situations be reversed." Karl replied.

"How would you have handled it?" Lukas asked curiously.

"I don’t think that it would be an issue in my situation. You see, my wife is somewhat possessive. If another woman were a real threat, she would have gone missing. Don’t take that the wrong way, she’s really a lovely woman.

When we went on training missions as students, I let her pick the group, so she would be more comfortable.

That led to our travelling group being the two of us, a female berserker and a nature priestess who are now long-time partners, and a war priestess of the Red Dragon."
