【0531】 Exhausted
Back at his palace, Mara finally took off the luxurious Vadarian fabric and waved her hand to remove the servants beside her.
In the eyes of others, Mara is addicted to banquets day and night, attracting bees and butterflies like a blooming rose.
But in fact, Mara herself knew very well that she actually had no choice.
As the second princess of Ixtal and the future heir to the throne, Mara still needs to do a lot - after his elder sister Inesa lost the right to inherit, Mara could not give up.
God will suffer the consequences if he does not take it.
For Mara, inheriting the throne is not only a respect for the inherent order of Exutal and an improvement of her own status... She cannot give up no matter what.
But similarly, according to the tradition of Exutal, after inheriting the throne, if she wants to realize her political power, she must have her own subordinates.
Unlike other countries, the political system of Ixtar is multi-headed.
The royal family's political power and the elders' cultural power are separated - both sides perform their own duties and have little interference.
There is no divine authority for the monarchy, nor is there any verbal constitution. Although the royal family can appoint the supreme leader of each city, the city governor, even the city governor has no right to interfere with "cultural issues".
It can be said that there is a natural contradiction between the royal family and the elders.
But similarly, as a noble class, the royal family and elders have been working together. Although they have been competing with each other, they have always maintained oppression of civilians...
The royal family monopolized the "noble bloodline", while the elders monopolized the "valuable knowledge" - in addition, they also "kindly" promulgated the third axiom and set rules, and never interfered with the related industries of the seventh axiom and the eleventh axiom.
(Note: The seventh axiom is a flame-related axiom, which is a compulsory course for chefs of Ixtal; the eleventh axiom is a compulsory course for knitting axiom, which is a compulsory course for tailors of Ixtal.)
In other words, the royal family and elders will never compete with civilians for their jobs in chefs, tailors, or "clothing" and "food".
This choice effectively curbed possible resistance from lower civilians and maintained three thousand years of peace in Ixtal.
But... although the common people in Ixutal are as gentle as lambs, the struggle has never stopped between the nobles and elders of Ixutal.
Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.
When the elders were in great power, the royal family was a trembling mascot; when the royal family was in great reputation, the elders were a group of timid verbs - but compared to Noxus, which was bleeding coups at all times, the elders and nobles of Yixutal had a very tacit understanding, and the bottom line of confrontation was extremely high.
Basically, personal safety is guaranteed. If you really fail in the struggle, you will only be thrown into a remote place, but you are still the best.
A guy like Chiana who simply ruined his elder sister is already an extremely cruel guy.
It is precisely because of Chiana's unreliability that Mara had to increase her efforts to build her own power structure before her sister was released, and strive to make her completely give up.
The rich natural conditions and the existence of the Yuan Dynasty axioms made these people who had been hidden in the jungle for three thousand years almost forget what cruelty is. Although the contradictions exist, they are unfortunately not profound enough and are not enough to trigger social changes.
In this case, although Mara noticed something was wrong, the only thing she could do was the original method of the old three.
Attend a banquet, receive a confidant, and marry in person.
After these three steps are completed, as long as the parents' lives come to an end, she will be able to officially ascend to the throne of Ixtal like her ancestors in the blessings of the people.
At that time, the Great Elemental Envoy will crown her, and Mara will be engraved on the central monument of Exu Oken, along with the previous names.
The Ixtals did not believe in gods, but they would always be respected by the name on this monument - in Mara's view, that would be his greatest achievement in his life.
It is enough to be remembered forever.
It is precisely because of this support that the lazy and timid second princess, who is usually the lazy and timid, turns out to go out to various banquet venues with gritted teeth and begins to "talk like a noble."
This is not a simple matter - she needs to always care about her etiquette, always maintain her demeanor, and always pay attention to the implicit meanings in her words...
The most important thing is that the Vadarian fabric on his body is never stable. Mara still needs to work hard to keep the fabric stable, which shows that "I have the ability to master this country, just like mastering the power of elements."
Although there may not be a sufficiently definite relationship between the two, this is indeed the tradition of Ethal.
Therefore, every time the banquet ends, Mara is exhausted - in order to maintain her demeanor, she cannot eat and drink at the banquet, and even her smile must be restrained and she must ensure perfection.
After finally returning to her palace, she finally couldn't hold it in again.
The Vadarian fabric was already hung. The next moment, Mara leaned back and lay flat on the soft big bed.
While enjoying the softness under her, she reached out and began to untie her waist. This waist with a metal frame not only highlights the curves, but also makes the Vadarian fabric covered outside look more elegant, and is the favorite interior of the Ixtal noble women.
When the metal buckle was finally unbuttoned and the waist was thrown aside, Mara finally breathed a long sigh.
The air is fresh.
She laughed silently, quickly rolled on the bed a few times, and finally got up again - in front of the dressing table, she quickly took off the shiny makeup on her face, then casually washed her face in the basin on the side, wiped it a few times, and then poured it back on the bed again.
Today's hard work is finally over.
Perhaps for Mara, what she should do now is to take out her diary and record all her experiences and gains today, but unfortunately, the Second Princess didn't want to move a little finger at this time. She just wanted to lie on the bed, comfort her waist, and rub her stiff face.
In this way, while she was still hesitating between getting up and resting in bed, the assassin who had been lurking for a long time finally came outside the second princess' room.
The next moment, the door to Mara's bedroom opened.
A guy who intentionally blocked his face broke into the door and quickly raised his staff towards Mara.
Chapter completed!
