"There are no buts, Lord Howard. This is my bottom line, and I hope that all the nobles of Falling Star can recognize this," Charlotte said calmly.
Seeing his persuasion was futile, Marquis Howard's expression grew even more distressed.
As she watched his troubled look, Charlotte smiled and continued, "Lord Howard, I know what you're worried about. Rest assured, I can tell you frankly that even if the New Moon Kingdom supports Duke Esiah, it doesn't matter. The throne will inevitably be mine."
"As for territorial disputes, heh, even without Castel, there is Romany. I know some nobles want to completely give up continental territories to stay away from the conflicts in Mireya..."
"But everyone must remember, by giving up the lands on the continent, it means being completely isolated from the mainstream world order. With turbulent times approaching, settling in a corner is not a good choice."
