How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World[part1]

Chapter 69: Storm (4)

Power is a simple yet complex intangible force that humans cannot detach from in their relationships. Power is essentially "strength," so it is natural that those who have power have always had strength throughout history, while those with weaker strength tend to bow their heads or look for opportunities to gain power.

So, what are the ways to obtain power? A very simple way is to have more strength than the other party. If one has more strength, it is meaningless for the other party to attack, and it is more likely that they will end up being attacked instead. That's why people tend to follow and obey the strong.

Princess Rina of the Minerva Empire is such a case. She belonged to a powerful family from birth rather than earning it herself. Who would dare to touch the princess of the strongest nation? Unless someone wants to commit suicide, it can be asserted that no one would try.

"... ..."

After everything was done, Rina returned to her dorm and lay on the bed blankly. Even though it was a dark bedroom with no light, her golden hair shimmered brightly.

If it were any other day, Rina would have studied or read a book, but today she had a lot on her mind. Looking up at the ceiling, she recalled the incidents that had occurred over the past three days.

After the announcement of a hiatus in volume 10 of Xenon's Biography, the Minerva Empire fell into great confusion. Protests demanding clarification erupted throughout the country, and those in power quickly moved to contain the situation.

In fact, the protests were not limited to just the Minerva Empire, but were happening all over the world. However, they were more severe in the Empire, which had a notorious reputation for cultural appropriation.

Rina had taken it upon herself to try and calm the situation. If Isaac had taken a hiatus because of her and Leort, then an apology was necessary to resolve the situation.

During the process, Rina was willing to accept any proposal that Isaac made. Even if it was a strange proposal that she could not understand, she was willing to accept it as long as it would help resolve the situation.

However, Isaac proposed something that Rina could not comprehend. If he had suggested even something as extreme as prostrating, Rina could have understood it.

'I don't understand.'

Rina was born with the power and authority befitting a princess. She entered politics at a young age, in her early teens, and was more knowledgeable about politics than her peers.

Here, she realized one thing: while there are people who have never tasted the flavor of power, there are no people who have tasted it only once. Furthermore, those who have tasted power once are driven to seek greater power.

I have seen many people like that even when I lived in the palace. There were countless people who would do anything to get their hands on what they believed they deserved and would try to undermine the power of others in subtle ways.

Rina dealt with these people herself, using the education she received from her mother and her own exceptional observational skills to detect them in advance.

Due to this environment, she was forced to wear a "mask" and had a big conflict with Mari. At the time, Rina mistook Marie for someone who was also trying to seek power like others, but in reality, Marie was trying to become friends with her out of pure heart. However, Rina did not realize this and betrayed Marie's expectations.

'Issac, he's an interesting guy.'

Rina thought of a boy with red hair named Issac, who had a unique feature of being the son of Hawk, who was famous as Red Lion, and being the author of the Xenon's Biography.
