Trouble from the Kingdom of Morden?
Olivia immediately asked the magic mirror in her heart to learn the details of the situation.
But on the surface, she didn't fall silent. Instead, she asked, "Why would people from the Kingdom of Morden cause trouble for Mirabelle? Isn't Mirabelle's true identity that of a princess of the Kingdom of Morden?"
This question caused Mirabelle to fall into a brief silence.
Arilla slowly spoke the answer.
"Ultimately, it's a matter of a struggle for royal power.
In royal families, such things always happen one after another.
After all, power is such a simple word, yet it represents so many benefits. It always makes people go to any lengths to obtain it, even disregarding blood and family ties.
In the Kingdom of Morden, because of me, Mirabelle was seen as a genius. Because of that, she was designated as the next successor of the Kingdom of Morden.
If nothing went wrong, she would be the future queen.
And it was precisely because of this that she was targeted by her brothers.
First Prince Stefan and Second Prince Gideon, the two most competitive candidates, both want to eliminate Mirabelle so they can seize control of the Kingdom of Morden for themselves.
Mirabelle came to the church and chose to join precisely to escape this political vortex.
But escaping doesn't solve the problem.
And now, both of those fellows have arrived in Kaliron."
As Arilla explained the situation, Olivia also learned more detailed information through the magic mirror.
Olivia didn't know what to say about such a struggle for the throne.
As a vassal of the Holy Kelidos Empire, the Kingdom of Morden wasn't actually very powerful. One could say it didn't even have a single high-level class rank transcendent.
Of course, it used to have one, and that was Arilla. But since Arilla ran into trouble, there were none left.
Currently, the strongest individuals in the Kingdom of Morden were two Skywalkers named Leo Olson and Thomas Ferraro. These two Skywalkers were supporters of First Prince Stefan and Second Prince Gideon, respectively.
The danger Mirabelle faced came from these two people.
Through the magic mirror, Olivia also learned that Mirabelle had revealed she possessed Arilla's remnant soul to protect herself. However, this failed to intimidate her two brothers and instead invited even harsher attacks.
Although Arilla had once been a high-level class rank transcendent and held a pivotal position in the Kingdom of Morden, that was in the past.
The current Kingdom of Morden was no longer the kingdom it once was, and Arilla's legend had become a thing of the past.
Furthermore, since she was now only a remnant soul with no way to recover, people naturally didn't take her seriously.
To many, Arilla was nothing more than a person who had already died.
"If you are willing to help Mirabelle, I can tell you an important secret. This secret will not harm you."
Arilla's voice came through once again.
Hearing Arilla say this, Olivia couldn't help but blink her eyes, then asked in her heart.
"Magic mirror, magic mirror, what is the secret Arilla plans to use as a bargaining chip for my help?"
Arilla could never have imagined that Olivia could understand the secret she was preparing in her heart in just the blink of an eye.
In front of Olivia, where could any secrets possibly hide?
【The secret Arilla wants to share concerns the Undead Plane. She knows of a special passage between the Undead Plane and the main world. Unlike the usual channels that connect the two, this passage allows people from the main world to enter the Undead Plane as living beings. In that plane composed entirely of the undead, there are countless natural resources; this is the benefit Arilla wants to mention. Arilla’s ability to persist as a remnant soul until now is also related to her having entered the Undead Plane. This passage is currently located within the Imperial Capital, Kaliron. The specific location is...】
The magic mirror directly explained everything to Olivia.
This included the location of the special passage and the method to enter it.
After learning this, Olivia's expression couldn't help but turn a bit strange.
She then glanced at Mirabelle, thought for a moment, and said, "Alright, I'm willing to help you with this."
Although she already knew what bargaining chip Arilla was using through the magic mirror and could have ignored her entirely, there was no need for that.
Moreover, she and Mirabelle were indeed acquaintances, so helping out wasn't an issue.
Although this would mean facing two Skywalkers head-on, they were clearly just ordinary Skywalkers and not Protagonists of the Era, so she naturally had nothing to worry about.
Hearing Olivia agree, Arilla also breathed a sigh of relief and then began to discuss more detailed countermeasures with Olivia.
Arilla stated that lately, First Prince Stefan and Second Prince Gideon would deliberately cause trouble for Mirabelle from time to time.
Because Mirabelle was ultimately a nun of the church, the two didn't dare to do anything too overt, but they were intentionally or unintentionally exerting pressure, hoping to make Mirabelle voluntarily renounce her right to the throne of the Kingdom of Morden.
Arilla's intention was for Olivia to take the initiative and teach the two princes and the Skywalkers backing them a lesson, so they would no longer dare to act so presumptuously.
Hearing Arilla say this, before Olivia could respond, Mirabelle couldn't help but speak up.
"Is it really okay for Olivia to deal with them? The two supporters behind them are both Skywalkers. Although Olivia is growing very quickly, I recall she's still a Domainist, right?"
A Domainist was the fifth class rank on the transcendent path, while a Skywalker was the sixth class rank.
Which rank was higher and which was stronger was clear at a glance.
Therefore, it was only natural for Mirabelle to have such concerns.
To this, Arilla smiled slightly, and her voice echoed in Mirabelle's heart.
"Don't worry about that. Olivia is a Protagonist of the Era recognized by the church. Even if her current class rank is Domainist, I believe dealing with two Skywalkers should not be an issue."
Mirabelle was somewhat startled upon hearing this.
She had heard Arilla mention the term Protagonist of the Era before, but she didn't have a clear understanding of what a Protagonist of the Era was actually capable of.
It was only now, hearing Arilla say this, that she realized the power of a Protagonist of the Era might be far more formidable than she had imagined.
