Dragon Monarch System

Chapter 1033: Chapter 1033:- Duke Ferdinand’s Opposition

In the long history of the Celestial Dragon Empire, something like this had never happened before. Even though the empire has declined in the present day, it is still feared and respected across the entire Main Continent.

No one dares to offend the Celestial Dragon Empire lightly. Everyone knows that if they do, it would end in a very cruel and unforgiving way.

This is exactly why this news shocked everyone so deeply. Every major and minor power, not just within the Celestial Dragon Empire but even beyond it, had no choice but to come in person to assess the situation and understand what had truly happened.

However, this was not just about mourning the death of the General or the loss of the Duke’s younger brother. It was something much bigger than that. This gathering was also about gaining a deeper understanding of the chaotic political situation that currently existed within the Celestial Dragon Empire.

If someone were to ask how all of this began, there would be many different answers. Some would say that everything started when the previous Emperor stepped down, and his nephew took the throne. To them, that was the moment things began to change.

Others might argue that the situation had already been building up over the past few years, slowly getting worse without anyone truly realising how serious it would become.

But the true, and perhaps the most cruel answer, goes back to that day when the real Crown Prince was wrongfully exiled from his own homeland and sent somewhere within the Six Continents. That moment marked the beginning of the unstable and chaotic political situation that everyone is facing today

When Aditya was exiled, there were many voices that openly opposed the Emperor’s decision. It was not something that went unnoticed or unchallenged. Many powerful figures made sure that the Emperor heard their disagreement loud and clear.

After his exile, several Dukes from across the empire made repeated attempts to find the exiled Crown Prince somewhere within the Six Continents. They used their resources, influence, and connections to search for him, hoping to bring him back or at least learn about his condition.

However, searching for the Crown Prince within the vast Six Continents was like trying to find a single mouse hidden deep inside a forest. It was simply impossible to locate him within a short period of a few years.

To make things even worse, the Emperor refused to reveal where exactly the Crown Prince had been exiled. This made the search even more difficult, leaving everyone in the dark without any clear direction.

Although the voices against the Emperor were not very loud when Aditya was wrongfully exiled, that moment still marked the beginning of something much bigger. It was the point when many Dukes and nobles across the empire slowly began to lose their trust and faith in the Crown and the throne.

After all, something like this was impossible to even imagine during the reign of Emperor Boris. Back then, the empire was stable, and the authority of the throne was unquestionable.

Yet now, his own son had exiled his own grandson.

From that point onward, everything only went downhill. Within a few years, it became clear to everyone that the Emperor had turned into nothing more than a puppet. A puppet that was being controlled by his nephew.

Slowly, over the years, his nephew was given more and more power. With each passing year, his influence continued to grow, and the balance within the empire began to shift.

What made the situation even worse was that his nephew abused that power so much that it was just impossible for everyone not to notice or pretend not to notice.

He began appointing people to high-ranking positions within the military and the court, even when they clearly did not deserve those roles. This created frustration and dissatisfaction among many nobles and officials.

At one point, he even wiped out an entire Baron family. The reason was simple and stupid: the Baron refused to stay silent under the invisible pressure of politics and openly spoke about his wrongdoings during a social gathering.

Within a single week, the Baron and his entire family were completely erased.

To the point that even official investigations could not find anything.

Not even his corpse was found anywhere within the Celestial Dragon Empire.
