Odd Eye's
Part 37's. The antagonist who appears.
... ⁇ OODIE...
There is no honeymoon.
The busy affairs of various countries, especially the delegation with Basiley, must be carried out.
Hanaya has no time to find a way to get rid of Xavier or just write to his father, nor a tea talk with Rozetta and Annette and Brianna.
"If the king agreed to this, surely Utopia would gladly accept Basil"
King Basiley was silent.
This, it seemed that the emperor really had no intention of giving him a choice.
The only answer is Yes, I accept it.
This was actually a stroke of luck for Basiley. Bad connotations about their empire certainly did not make any empire willing to lend a hand. Not to mention their arrogance. Utopia put forward a delegation at the right time.
They intend to take advantage of Basiley! That's how he thought. But on the other hand, it's a mutually beneficial agreement.
His hands clenched, while his eyes drew sharply at Javier, forced to accept help. He can't risk his ego and lose more people.
"Of course, I accept it" duke Nestra was not surprised. The policy that Viviana gave was clearly a dead end for Basilie who had been hostile. On the other hand, this benefits Utopia.
It turned out that it was true, there was someone in this empire who could surpass his daughter. Madelin which he grew with great difficulty. The one that grew perfectly was now wasted.
How fast the world is turning. Yesterday was her daughter's time and now is Viviana's time. The girl who was called the mercy of the gods. She would be a great queen.
"Welcome to the great family of Utopia"
Grand family?
The corner of King Basiley's lips attracted cynics. The big family of Utopia means under Utopia, that's the implicit point isn't it?
But he had nothing to refuse. A crisis awaits if his ego is exalted. That's pretty stupid.

"You, do it well" Hanaya commented a wide smile.
"Thank you"
"Sorry, for the honeymoon. We're supposed to be going through this right now" the man kissed Viviana's hand. Staring from the lap of the eyes of the woman who was playing her hair.
"No problem. If it's all over, can't we just walk through it quietly?"
"You're right" the soft kiss turned dusty. Viviana almost lost consciousness, if only a knock on the door was not heard.
Javier frowned dislike. Disturbing personal time.
"What's up" he said. While Viviana neutralized the roar of her breath. Sitting in such a kiss was difficult to make him breathe properly.
"Baron Alex requested a private meeting with Her Majesty the Queen"
In an instant, Javier's face turned cold.
"Whatever he says refuse, you understand" he said as a warning.
Viviana nodded.
The leader of the faction that rejected the rule of the emperor, the faction that denied its existence, the Racial faction.
***
"Greetings Your Majesty. May the gods bless you" said Baron Alex after kissing Viviana's hand.
This woman is actually very beautiful if you look closely. Silver mane decorated with flops inscribed with simple gems, violet eyes as charming as lavender. Viviana was wearing casual clothes. Long channel tunic dress patterned, black.
"Sit down Baron"
"Thank you" Alex said.
"I came here to propose a deal" he added without further ado.
Next to Viviana's eyebrows raised.
Deal ?
Ah, the racial factions are planning to get the queen's support, huh ?
"If the queen pleases, our faction is willing to be your support in the government" Alex said, continuing the provocation.
"Although you have the support of the people, but with the support of factions your position in the government will be deeply entrenched. The number of members of our faction exceeds His Majesty's estimates. Almost the entirety of the Utopian nobility is on our side. You will be able to control everything with our help"
Factions can be said to be the support of a group. The relationship between these is reciprocal. A balanced relationship. Mutually beneficial.
And in a provocative tone, Alex tried to influence Viviana through another stroke of that line.
If interpreted another sound of controlling everything is 'full control in government'
"Yes. I'll take it"
Secretly a satisfied smile imprinted on Alex's face, but collapsed when Viviana's next speech was heard
"Unconditional, faction renewal"
faction renewal?
Viviana wants to turn a racial faction into a new one?
This lady...
Alexander de Grante stared at Viviana "Reformation?"
"Yes" said Viviana calmly
"If I accept a deal with you, it's tantamount to destroying my position. Racial factions have a bad reputation. Accepting your support will have no impact in any way"
Right, Viviana's right.
They intend to use the new weak queen to ascend the throne to achieve the goal. Reshaping the caste system in Utopia. Parliament will probably use this against him even if all the nobles there are racist. And Javier has no choice but to isolate him. Viviana deliberately damaged the image of the previous emperor.
It will also spark a conflict between him and the people.
"If the Baron is willing to do a faction renewal, then I am willing to accept you"
Alexander's eyes drew sharp.
Viviana had a clever mind. By rebuilding the most controversial faction he will have all the support. Both inside and outside the government added the love of the emperor. This woman will truly master everything.
Breathing out, the man smiled faintly "If I accept it it would be tantamount to suicide, queen"
Viviana drew a formal smile
"The Baron's submission from the beginning was indeed biased. The bad image of your faction will not be able to strengthen my position. If the Baron does not accept this, there are still many other factions that can help me"
Viviana is aware of the true purpose of this offer. Not only intended to stand out, the Racial faction intended to show a real presence, using Viviana to achieve the real goal of overthrowing the emperor and creating division.
Easy to know.
According to the meaning of their name 'racial' certainly harbors hatred against the reign of the emperor because of the ideology of the equality of Utopia.
"good. I will accept it" Viviana was stunned for a moment hearing that. The initial prediction was a rejection, but this was accepted?
***
"You accepted it?" The rejection response was what Alexander received.
"Everything is calm" one echoing cold voice sparked silence at the center of the faction's gathering of members.
The man's expression changed.
Her smile expands "Thank you for listening. He asked to accept it"
A voice that created shock.
"Mr Xavier asked me to accept it" the repetition more clearly made everyone speechless.
Xavier regularly and unknowingly played a major role in politics. The controversial faction is his. Who could have thought that?
Alexander initially refuses, but Xavier's subsequent remarks make him comply.
"If you want to get attention, show expertise and if you want to be trusted show seriousness. Sometimes the illusion of action is very evocative compared to speech. That's what he said" Alexander said mysteriously
"That means, sir is asking us to follow the queen's wishes for a while?" Adelle asked in disbelief
"What the Baron said is true. First of all we must reach for the queen's heart, after gaining trust we will find a way to reverse her thinking" said Bella understand Alex's words.
"really. As Duchess Bella said, defenses are most easily knocked down from the inside. We just need the right time to attack"
"But wouldn't that be quite the opposite of our goal?"
Sela Adelle voiced the disapproval of the other members.
"really. It deviates from our purpose. If changing the faction's idealists means we are willing to subject ourselves to the commoners!"
"We're just doing a renewal, not a change of mind" Rissa said, "You don't have to worry about our goals. It remains, only in disguise. We will succeed in realizing our goal, restoring the Utopia that was originally under proper rule. Isn't that the purpose of supporting him? "
"Lady Rissa is right, Mr. Xavier wouldn't suggest this without a clear plan. After all, let's just say it's an improvement in the image in front of the people."
And with that, in the name of Xavier as the leader of the group everyone began to believe.
That this is the first step of success. Restoring Utopia based on dignity as it used to be. The gap between the people and the nobles must remain!
