There was a slight tingling sensation in my arm.

Then an indescribable feeling of comfort slowly but surely spread throughout the body.

Andy, who was in a coma, regained consciousness a little bit.

Then, the waves of cancer pain that spread throughout his body made him quickly wake up from his hazy state.

Opening his dry eyes, he was slightly startled by everything that appeared in his field of vision.

Above the head is a ceiling decorated with white logs and round lamps, which is full of exotic style.

Looking sideways, you can see the light-colored lattice doors and windows, futons, bamboo paintings, and long brown coffee tables, all beautifully arranged, and all contain a Zen feel.

It is obvious that this is a brightly lit room with a Japanese style.

But what surprised Andy was a young girl.

The girl was kneeling next to him, lowering her head and injecting a tube of medicine into his body. The long black hair that swayed down due to inertia looked quite familiar to him.

"Wake up so quickly?"

Seeing Andy open his eyes, the other party was slightly surprised, but she just nodded slightly towards Andy, got up and left, and knelt down on a futon not far away.

I really didn't expect it.

Andy blinked at this, a little surprised that the nun he met before turned out to be a traitor.

But this girl is obviously a little guy, so there is no need to pay too much attention to her.

So Andy turned his attention to the two adults sitting on both sides of the coffee table not far away, looking at him with smiles.

One of them is old and the other is middle-aged.

The older man was neatly dressed, his gray hair was meticulously combed, his eyebrows were long and narrow, his eyes were sharp, and he was dressed in a black samurai uniform. He was an authentic island native.

The middle-aged man looks slightly similar to the old warrior. He should be a mixture of island country and North Africa.

But he didn't get along very well. He even looked very ugly with thin eyebrows, small eyes, a thick mouth and rough teeth, and thick and fat limbs.

However, this ugly face was winking at Andy at this moment, and his familiar look made him more approachable than the old warrior next to him.

"Denys Weaver, a steward of the York family, is responsible for taking care of some trivial matters outside the home."

Seeing that Andy had completely woken up, the old warrior said in a hoarse voice: "He was the one who showed up in the church and suppressed you."

"But he is not your real enemy, the York family behind him is."

Obviously, this person didn't want to talk nonsense, so he got straight to the point.

"The House of York was formerly the royal family of the country."

The ugly man then continued: "You are used to being arrogant. Not only you, but also us subjects have been bullied in the past."

"Subjects?" Andy sat up from the tatami and asked the question appropriately.

"Yes, they are subjects."

The ugly man nodded and said with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Although they have abdicated, the York royal family has existed for nearly a thousand years, and its control and influence over this country has never faded much."

Andy nodded upon hearing this.

He has already seen this today.

All I can say is, invincible.

Even if the evil spirit is in hand and he can understand the command, he is currently no match for this level of force.

"But the world is a big place."

Seeing that Andy seemed a little "depressed", the ugly man who was sitting there changed his subject.

"Our country is one of the countries in North Africa, but North Africa is part of Africa. The entire African continent can be regarded as the poorest and most backward land in the world."

"In your eyes and mine, the York royal family is a behemoth that no one can confront. But looking at the whole world, this family is just a small player."

"Just like the mayor you met before, the royal family is also trying to curry favor with others. Several blood lines within the royal family are currently fighting among themselves madly and recklessly to compete for the qualifications to be a servant for others."

"So," Andy raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "I was suppressed just because of this qualification?"

There are things he knows.

There are some things that he really doesn't understand, so this is not just pretending to be stupid.

"That's right."

The ugly man nodded and confirmed, "But it needs to be made clear that the person who suppressed you was a steward of the royal family, not the royal family itself."

"The reason why the housekeeper suppressed you is not because he really thought you were a threat, but just in case, so he rushed over to deal with it."

"It's part of his daily routine, so to speak."

His words were not to attack Andy, but to make Andy understand his situation.

After all, I just spoke of a minor role in the royal family, full of contempt.

But if you really treat the royal family as a small role, you will definitely suffer a big loss, because the so-called small refers to the whole world.

In North Africa, and even in Africa as a whole, the York royal family can be regarded as a large force, which can easily crush some small countries, let alone certain individuals.

Moreover, if the royal family is really a small player, then who are these rebels who hide their heads and show their tails and dare not openly confront the royal family?

His meaning was clear.

Andy just nodded and said nothing.

Seeing this, the ugly man smiled slightly.

"Don't be discouraged. If you were really worthless, the housekeeper wouldn't target you. If you don't believe it, look, my daughter is very good. She won second place. Not only did the old guy not target her, she actually appreciated her."

These words made Lily, who had been listening quietly, a little angry, but after looking at Andy, she said nothing.

In front of outsiders, the girl has always been used to keeping a reserved temperament, and now that her father is talking about business and her grandfather is watching quietly from the side, she will not act petty and open her mouth to make trouble.

"Okay, let's talk about the qualifications that made you suppressed."

When he said this, the ugly man's tone became serious.

"I just said that in this country, the royal family is a giant, but when you look at the world, it is just a small player."

"This whole world, specifically, can actually point to an empire."

"empire?"

"Assyria, Covenant, Gunther, Silver Eagle, Black Thorn, Stars... The empire has many names, but we generally call it the empire. Because in this world, or in the supernatural world, there is only such an empire."

"The York royal family abdicated willingly, but the reason why they were willing to give up the throne was not for the well-being of the people, but because they wanted to become subjects of the empire."

"Realistically speaking, the royal family got what they wanted. After giving up the throne, they became part of the empire."

"But there are hundreds of members like them in the entire empire. The York family does not get respect at all within the empire system."

"They're not resigned to it."

When he said this, he paused slightly and his expression was somewhat silent.

It seems that he feels his own insignificance.

It is true that an ordinary member of the empire is a huge mountain that has been pressing on their heads for countless years and is difficult to move away.

This kind of gap even made him a little confused about how to describe it.

But the ugly man was not a sentimental person. After a moment of silence, he continued to speak.

"The York family, who are unwilling to be a small player, are eager to climb up. But normally, they have no chance at all, because compared to other members of the empire, York's strength is the weakest."

"However, a big shot came out of this country a few years ago, and they saw an opportunity - a huge opportunity."

"Big shot?"

"Yes, the real big shot."

Raising his hand to take a sip of tea, the ugly man then said in a solemn tone: "There are only two members of the imperial royal family today. One is the queen, and the other is the only heir to the empire. We can call him the crown prince."

"And the big shot we mentioned is the crown prince's teacher."

"Is it related to that qualification?"

"Of course, it's crucial."

"Because the qualifications, or quota, we are talking about refer to the identity of this teacher's direct disciple."
