The Protagonist's Party is Too Diligent

Chapter 281

"The imperial law does not explicitly define the conditions required to ascend to the throne. Determining the next Emperor is solely a matter for the imperial family to decide."

The Parliament governed the nation, while the imperial family preserved its legitimacy.

Claire, who carried the Emperor’s blood, was adamantly claiming she was a Grace, not a Fangryphon.

...In short, every single remaining imperial family member with the authority to decide the Empire’s future was standing right here.

Realizing this a little late, I made sure to weigh my every word carefully. In this situation, anything Alice or I said—whether formally or informally—could be taken as the will of the imperial family.
