Chapter 1719 - 1166: Queen of Tistis (Part 2)
Everything she did was to conquer the Tistis Kingdom.
With the current Queen falling into a deep sleep due to a curse and unable to awaken, Yanifet showed no restraint and boldly announced her return.
First, she declared publicly that she was also a royal descendant of the Tistis Kingdom, possessing legitimate rights to the throne. Then she claimed that she was the sole heir to the throne and would soon be crowned.
This move, needless to say, stirred up a hornet’s nest, throwing the entire royal palace and the kingdom into chaos.
Regardless of the powerful nobles, the royal family members who were fighting fiercely for the throne were outraged by Yanifet’s bold claim to ascend to the throne immediately.
How could they just sit back and watch?
How could they possibly acknowledge it?
Immediately, these royal heirs launched a counterattack, sharply criticizing Yanifet, considering her self-proclaimed ascension as a scorn of the Tistis Kingdom’s legal system. They openly questioned Yanifet, suggesting many issues with her royal lineage claim, which should neither be acknowledged nor entitled to the throne.
The condemnation campaign, secretly manipulated by the royal heirs, became all the rage, involving almost every noble in the kingdom. The factions of princes and princesses, who used to fight each other, even surprisingly cooperated, turning Yanifet into the kingdom’s public enemy overnight.
Faced with this large-scale opposition, Yanifet’s response was quite straightforward.
That is, she went directly to confront them.
Yes, this woman actually resorted to violence, seeking out each and every royal heir personally.
As a pure strength supremacist, Yanifet disdained any cunning strategy or intrigue and simply said,
"If you’re not convinced, then come, fight!"
Hence, within just a few days, Yanifet subdued everyone.
Any aristocratic family supporting the royal heirs was subdued by Yanifet.
Every knight order that lined up for battle was subdued by Yanifet.
Even the active Sword Saint and the only strategic-level magician were equally subdued by Yanifet.
Leveraging her awakened lineage and power comparable to Lv.9, regarded as a saint in the Source World and as a demon lord in the abyss, Yanifet was unstoppable in the royal palace, subduing all voices against her.
The chaos caused by Lilith and others in the palace, and their clashes with the knight orders, did not provoke hostility or trigger stronger responses because Yanifet had already begun her actions.
Compared to the upheaval Yanifet caused, the disturbance by Lilith and others was insignificant; once Liz calmed them down, the matter was almost forgotten.
Ultimately, Yanifet not only defeated the strongest Sword Saint in the Tistis Kingdom but also triumphed over Charity, who wielded the National Guardian Divine Weapon.
The myth of the Valkyrie’s invincibility thus shattered, causing a significant stir in the kingdom.
For a moment, many believed the Tistis Kingdom would be destroyed by a mysterious female demon.
Yet, after defeating everyone, Yanifet did something remarkable.
She drew the National Guardian Divine Weapon from Charity’s hands, the Inheritance Sword of the Tistis family.
This sub-sacred sword, one of only seven in the Source World, may not possess the terrifying power of the true holy swords to cut the world, but it is regarded as the strongest weapon in this world, much more potent than the Ancient Secret Treasure.
Though it doesn’t possess a clear will like the Holy Sword Moslo, throughout history, only the Tistis royal family or the Tistis family have been able to wield it.
Before Charity, no one had drawn this Inheritance Sword, including past queens of the Tistis Kingdom.
The previous user of this Ice Holy Sword was none other than the founding queen of the Tistis Kingdom.
Now, Yanifet also drew the sword and gained its acknowledgment.
This not only shocked everyone but indirectly confirmed Yanifet’s earlier claim.
She was a royal descendant of the Tistis Kingdom, a legitimate member of the Tistis family.
She indeed had a rightful claim to the throne, validated by her bloodline.
With her immense power, legitimate lineage, and the senior members of the Tistis Kingdom vaguely aware of Yanifet’s true identity...
Eventually, the turmoil settled down unknowingly; neither the royal heirs nor the aristocratic forces, including the Sword Saint and the strategic-level magician, opposed Yanifet’s status and earlier declarations.
Yanifet thus became the most prestigious heir to the throne in the Tistis Kingdom, her succession rights soaring to the forefront, leaving the royal heirs with grievances but powerless.
Within just a few days, Yanifet gained numerous supporters, including the Beryl family, who had helped her previously in the border city.
As long as the current queen remains asleep and no stronger opposition arises domestically, it won’t be long before Yanifet is officially crowned, becoming the next queen of the Tistis Kingdom.
To be honest, when Reiger learned these events from Liz and others, he was utterly astonished.
"Have I been gone for just a few days, or have I been gone for years?"
In a matter of days, the Tistis Kingdom, originally on the verge of division, facing the threat of annihilation, was unified by the mysterious woman Reiger had brought from outside, only a step away from ascending the throne as queen...
This bizarre development almost rivaled the fantastical adventures he had during these few days in another world.
Yet, Yanifet remained indifferent.
"I just want to reclaim my own country, so what’s the issue?"
Hearing this, Reiger regained his composure, looking at Yanifet.
"So it is..."
Reiger finally said it outright.
"You are the founding queen of the Tistis Kingdom, aren’t you?"
Upon hearing this, Liz and Lilith were stunned.
"The...the founding queen?"
They were both amazed as they turned to Yanifet, only to find neither Yanifet nor the Altrude sisters showed any change of expression over Reiger’s words.
"So, you finally asked this question of mine." Yanifet even seemed somewhat pleased, saying, "Didn’t you suspect it a long time ago?"
"I had no choice." Reiger said flatly, "It was too obvious, wasn’t it?"
Not to mention anything else, just Yanifet’s familiarity with the Tistis family’s old sites demonstrated how well she knew the family.
Such secrets, which even the current royal family of the Tistis Kingdom might not know, were known to Yanifet as if they were her possessions.
Additionally, Yanifet’s actions thus far and others’ attitudes toward her all indicated a significant connection between this mysterious woman and the Tistis Kingdom.
Moreover, her astonishing strength and disregard for the Tistis Kingdom as if it were her possession, even the dense Reiger could guess a few things.
"I just don’t understand why you’re still alive?"
Reiger voiced his confusion.
"...It’s nothing." Yanifet was silent for a while, then began to speak with an expressionless face.
"It’s just some old stories..."
