Princess Alyssa paused as she spoke, while Ivy looked at Princess Alyssa with a serious face in front of her.
“Princess Alyssa, what do you want to see me about? You know our relationship well anyway, there’s no need to hide it.”
Ivy said expansively, while Princess Alyssa just smiled lightly after hearing this.
“It’s a bit awkward to talk to you about such things, but I have to, after all, it’s about the future of Toyo.”
Ivy could hear that Princess Alyssa was obviously embarrassed to say it, so she walked over and put a hand on Princess Alyssa’s shoulder.
“It’s okay, go ahead, Alyssa. You’re the only one I remember in my head right now. I don’t remember anything else clearly, you’re the only family I have.”
From a young age, Ivy considered Alyssa as her best sister, and to this day, Ivy still hasn’t forgotten this feeling.
Then Princess Alyssa was finally willing to say what she had come for on this occasion.
“In fact, the situation in Toyo is very critical right now.”
“The late emperor is no longer able to sit up because of his health, and now the position of King of Toyo is coveted by a number of ministers.”
“As a princess, I know very well that most of these ministers are not to be trusted, and the only one who can be trusted is your Oda family.”
“Only you, the Oda family, have the status to make an impact on this matter, otherwise if this throne were to be obtained by the other two princes, then things would be unthinkable.”
Alyssa knows that both of his brothers have their hearts set on taking the throne of this kingdom of Toyo.
Although Alyssa’s two brothers were not brainless and had their own unique way of governing, if the throne went to them, then the friendly relations between the Toyo and the Pompeii imperial family would come to an end.
Because the Eldest Prince Miyamoto was very ambitious, long before the late Emperor was physically unwell, he had mentioned many times that he wanted to take advantage of the time when the Pompeii imperial family was friendly with his own country to carry out a sneak attack and thus take over the Pompeii imperial family.
The good thing is that the late emperor did not agree with Miyamoto’s idea, but kept friendly relations with the Pompeii imperial family.
“Then in that case, wouldn’t it be enough to give the throne to the second prince? I guess the second prince, Wuto, would be different.”
Ivy had also met Muto when she was a child, and unlike Miyamoto, Muto was not full of the idea of annexing the Pompeii imperial family and then taking over the resources of the entire region by himself.
But while Muto is not so ambitious, there is a very fatal problem.
Muto didn’t show any signs of this when he was younger, after all, before that Muto had a crush on Ivy.
But it wasn’t until Ivy disappeared that Muto was revealed as well, spending his days with women, and basically not once asking questions about the affairs of Toyo.
If a man like this were to become king, Toyo would not simply fall out with the Pompeii imperial family.
Hearing this, Ivy finally realised the seriousness of the problem and looked worried, for after all, this country of Toyo is the place where she was born.
After all, the Oda family is one of the leading families in the country and has a stake in the survival of the country.
“So, Princess Alyssa, what did you seek me out for this time? Is it possible that I can save the day and turn the tide on this matter?”
At this point Princess Alyssa nodded with a determined look on her face and said.
“Yes, if you go back, this thing will be able to be changed.”
“Now the late emperor is in ill health, and the two sons who succeeded him are so brutal and incompetent, while the ministers underneath are all coveting the position of emperor, and no one is thinking about the survival of Toyo.”
“In the midst of this strife of forces, all the courtiers, and also the princes, have made the suggestion that all matters should be put to your family, that is to say, let your house decide the matter.”
From the beginning, everyone knew that the Oda family had a deep connection with the Imperial family, and that the Oda family was indeed the largest family in Toyo.
Because the imperial family and the Oda family have always had a good relationship, the Oda family also had a great deal of power.
With all the fuss about this fight for the throne, there were naturally many who wanted to squeeze the Oda family out.
And the best way to do this is to have all the people target them, and how to target a family of such magnitude is to disperse the reputation of the family with countless opposing views.
Basically all the ministers knew very well that if the Oda family named a candidate, the other families would target them frantically and only one chosen would help the Oda family, but only in vain.
With the late emperor now bedridden and the other two princes in such a state, every one of them thought that when the Oda family returned, they would use money or threats to secure a rightful place in the succession.
But just after this news came out, it was surprising that all of the Oda family had disappeared.
Although it was a great calamity, the matter had the support of the Empress. After all, the Oda family and the imperial family were in such a relationship, and naturally the Empress did not want the Oda family to die in the siege like that.
However, the current situation shows that this was not the right choice, as the whole of the country is now without a head of state because of the previous disappearance, and all the ministers are clamouring to be the head of state.
Princess Alyssa knew very well that the previous Oda family would not be recovered now, and the only one who could be found was Ivy, whom she had just happened to have some leads on some time ago.
And then, it was Princess Alyssa who came to the Pompeii Imperial Court to find Ivy.
After hearing Princess Alyssa’s words, Ivy finally understood the situation and, after a long sigh, had a helpless look on her face.
“Now that I don’t have much of a memory left, are you sure I can really pull this off if I go back now?”
Ivy looked at Princess Alyssa who, upon hearing this, had a smile of joy on her face.
“Of course, and if you come back with me, this matter will certainly be resolved.”
Looking at how happy Princess Alyssa looked, Ivy nodded and said.
“As long as you believe me, I’ll go back with you, since you’ve told me to.”
While Ivy and Princess Alyssa were talking, Leo had been watching from the sidelines, except that his eyes were strange.
