The political system of the Ascension Fortress is similar to the constitutional monarchy mentioned in the barrage. Gristia, the nominal leader, is "somewhat" lacking in governance ability and serves more as a facade... It sounds like a mascot to say the least. It sounds better like Dinghai Shenzhen.

No matter what, the eldest daughter Gristia is a member of the Eternals. Even if she is just a goalkeeper in the ranks of true gods, she is still a genuine true god.

After personally experiencing the battle with Aggramar and Argus the Destroyer, Sarlayan could clearly feel the unbridgeable realm gap between true gods and demigods.

Regardless of how embarrassing Gristia's performance is in battles of the same level, she can still kill demigods whose level is lower than hers.

Gristia has five saints who assist her in handling government affairs. Like the princes under the king, they each sit in one place and have their own temple.

These five saints are St. Alexandria of Courage, St. Gervaisi Fernie of Purity, St. Jacquelos of Humility, St. Jessenius of Wisdom and St. Jedworth of Faithfulness.

Due to Gristia's stubborn and rigid policies in the early years, the pure Saint Jervi Siferne and the loyal Saint Jedworth fell to heaven due to doubts and dissatisfaction. Their originally white wings turned into pitch black, and the two called for The Forsworn rebels had caused quite a stir in Ascension Bastion.

Of course, Denathrius was inevitably behind the fall of these two saints.

With Sarlayan's intervention, the rebellion ended with Gristia's surrender.

Since then, the old-fashioned Gristia began to actively adopt the reform suggestions submitted by the saints under his command, and the Ascension Fortress, which had previously been like a pool of stagnant water, gradually began to regain its vitality.

Kyrian's fall to heaven seems irreversible. Those black-winged Kyrians who have been transformed into Forsworn are unable to turn their wings white again even if they return to the right path.

However, this is not harmful at all. Instead, it adds some variety to the monotonous Gryen group, which can be used as a sign that Ascension Fortress has entered a diversified era.

As far as Sarlayan knows, the most powerful one among the five saints is St. Jessandria of Courage, but the one with the highest prestige is St. Gessenius of Wisdom. The two of them represent Gristia's subordinates respectively. One and two major groups.

Although Visifurne, Kairos and Devos also have their own specialties, their reputation and status are still slightly lower than Sandria and Seneas.

As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky and no two kings in the country.

If Gristia really plans to move to the position of Arbitrator, she must make up her mind to choose someone between Sandria and Senius to succeed as the leader of the fortress.

Judging from the intelligence that Sarlayan has obtained so far, it is clear that Gristia has not yet made up her mind. She is likely to use the decisive battle against the Maw to measure the abilities and prospects of the two people for the last time.

…

With the active humility of Valeera and Stellagosa, Sylvanas confidently walked into Sharlayan's bedroom that night.

The next morning, Sarlayan, who had been working hard all night, was still in great shape. Sylvanas, whose physique was far inferior to him, fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion. It seemed that she would not wake up until the afternoon.

Sharlayan ignored Valeela's scolding look and went to the Sunstrider Court as planned to chat with Kael'thas who was on vacation.

But it was just gossip... In fact, the content of the conversation between the two was related to business.

After listening to Sarlayan's analysis and prediction of the future situation in the Shadow Realm, Kael'thas asked thoughtfully: "In your opinion, who is more likely to succeed Gristi, Sandria or Senius?" Ya Kong was promoted to the position of leader of the fortress?"

Sarlayan smiled and shrugged: "If I were to choose, I would prefer Saint Jessenius, the wise man who has a better overall view, but based on my understanding of Gristia, she should have more in mind. Favorite Sandria.”

Gristia herself was a fool with a disability in political affairs, and her overall view was not very good, otherwise the rebellion would not have happened.

When choosing an heir, Gristia, who was not well-established, would naturally prefer Sandria, who had many similarities with herself.

"My personal relationship with Sandria is pretty good, but I have little contact with Senius. But to be fair, I think Senius will be a more suitable successor."

Among the five saints, Sarlayan has a bad relationship with DeVos, whose personality is prone to extremes. He doesn't want to make such a diode-like friend. Who knows when she will suddenly have a neurotic attack.

Relatively speaking, Sarlayan prefers the outspoken Sandria, and the gentle and considerate Visifurnier. His relationship with Kairos and Senios can only be considered average... It is definitely not because of these two saints. Jay is male.

When it comes to selecting successors, Sarlayan will definitely not choose based on his own preferences. He will give more consideration to who is more suitable to be the leader, but...Gristia is hard to say.

"So?" Kael'thas shook the red wine glass in his hand with interest: "Aren't you going to show off your influence in the Shadow Realm? If Gristia is allowed to act as she pleases, what will happen to the Shadow Realm? I’m afraid it will be harmful rather than beneficial in the future.”

Sarlayan sighed helplessly: "If possible, I really don't want to interfere in the internal affairs of the Shadow Realm."

"But at least I still have the title of Marquis of the Creator of Maldraxxus on my head. Expressing some personal opinions is not a fool's errand."

Kael'thas smiled and encouraged: "The Shadow Realm accommodates the dead in the entire universe. No one wants this kingdom of the dead to become chaotic. It is best to keep them running stably."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to congratulate you for holding a beautiful woman again."

Kael'thas raised his wine glass jokingly and signaled to Sharlayan: "You can just focus on shedding wool in Quel'Thalas, right? If you continue like this, I'm afraid not all the beauties of the age of the high elves will be able to do it." You will put them in your own room."

Sarlayan rolled his eyes angrily: "Do you really think I'm the kind of person who likes stamp-collecting beauties? It's better not to make such jokes. I'm afraid of being slapped from behind."

"Ha~" Kael'thas shook his head amusedly: "Who dares to knock your sap? But whatever, since you don't want to hear it, I'll change the subject."

Kael'thas put away his joking attitude, put down his wine glass, sat upright and said solemnly to Sarlayan, "I have one thing that I need your help with."

"oh?"

Sarlayan was a little surprised by Kael'thas' overly serious attitude: "To put it bluntly, we don't need these vain politenesses between us."

"also."

Kael'thas relaxed his body again: "It's about Anweina."

"Oh~" Sarlayan nodded suddenly: "I probably guessed what you wanted to say."

Anveena, Queen of Kael'thas, the incarnation of the Sunwell.

From a political perspective, the union of the Sun King and the Avatar of the Sunwell was undoubtedly a match made in heaven.

But from a personal perspective, Anweina's high degree of binding to the Sunwell has always worried Kael'thas.

Kael'thas is different from Sharlayan. He is a very dedicated person. His relationship with Anweina after marriage is like honey mixed with oil, and there is no room for a third person to get involved.

Cabinet ministers, including Liresa, had more than once persuaded Kael'thas to take in more lovers and expand the branches of the thin Sunstrider royal family as much as possible, but Kael'thas always ignored their suggestions. .

Speaking of this topic, Sarlayan also stopped being careless and straightened his posture.

"You want Anweina to give birth to an heir as soon as possible to stabilize the country, right?"

"Yes and no."

Kael'thas sighed softly: "In addition to this problem, I also hope to cut off the deep bond between her and the Sunwell."

"If something goes wrong with the Sunwell one day in the future, I don't want to see Anweina suffer as a result." (End of Chapter)
