With the conclusion of the reception dinner, the news that Duke Esiah, one of the heirs to the throne, had renounced his claim and submitted to Count Castel spread rapidly.
Along with this significant news, the peace treaty between Charlotte and the Bloodline and the trial of Campbell Grand Priest conducted by Charlotte during the banquet, including the Divine Miracle that occurred before everyone's eyes, also spread.
The heir to the throne submitted, and the Bloodline behind him compromised.
Without a foundation or a leader, the Lilac Party nobles surrendered within a matter of a few days, and the looming shadow of a civil war in Falling Star Kingdom almost instantly dissipated.
Putting aside the Bloodline's influence strictly speaking, the nobles of Falling Star actually were not opposed to Charlotte's accession to the throne—on the whole, they were quite welcoming of it.
