The royal bloodline had ended and the banner for those plotting revival to raise had vanished.
In reality Rigel had devised a plan and secretly kept them alive, but those who knew that fact were very few.
At least on the surface the Kingdom of Valstine had completely perished.
Now all of the territory was placed under the rule of the Kingdom of Wistaria.
Originally it would not have been strange for Rigel to rule the former Valstine territory as reward for that merit.
Given a new title and protecting the border as frontier count.
Rigel had accomplished work enough for that.
However one year ago he had something largely lacking.
Knowledge regarding rule.
He could kill enemies.
He could crush armies and take castles.
But regarding methods of collecting tax, moving officials, arranging law, and maintaining the people's lives he knew nothing.
No matter how excellent martial power one had one could not rule a territory with that alone.
