The territories of The Five Bay States are all located at the northernmost end of the continent. In the backward agricultural era, they were not fertile lands capable of supporting a large population. The total population of the five states barely managed to equal the Holy Gold Empire.

Among the Kalmar Union of Three Nations: Aalborg Kingdom, Gothenburg Kingdom, Oslo Kingdom, the most powerful Aalborg Kingdom alone accounted for half of the population of the three nations.

The Royal Capital Amarlingburg is the capital city of Aalborg Kingdom, as well as the political, economic, and military center of the entire union. It is also a crucial part of the Younger Faction's military advisory action this time.

Besides the most major target being here, the fiercest obstacle, like a raging tiger blocking the way, is also here.

That is the nation's secret weapon—[Kingdom's Guardian]!

Although the Kalmar Union has only one [Evernight Queen], it has two Fifth Order Kingdom's Guardians.

One followed Margaret I to assist The Holy Silver Empire in attacking the Protestant Princes, while the other remained at the Cedar Palace of the Royal Palace.

"Hmm?"

In the outer hall, an old man with curly hair and a beard amusingly curled upwards suddenly awakened from his sleep, immediately threw on his clothes and got up.

Standing at the window of the bedroom, he looked into the pitch-black night sky, though he saw nothing at all.

However, his identity as [Kingdom's Guardian] allowed him to feel, from the collective subconscious, the approaching storm spreading nationwide.

Although the Royal Capital remains temporarily calm, it resembles the eye of a tornado; the calm is merely a precursor to disaster.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself: 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"I bet, nothing good will come to the Royal Capital tonight."

With the faint heavenly light from outside, one could see the appearance and attire of this [Kingdom's Guardian], astonishingly identical to the "Spade J" in Whist Cards.

In fact, this Kingdom's Guardian's title is called [Spade J] Hogel, or simply [Old J].

Cards have symbolic meanings. In each deck of 54 Whist Cards, the Joker represents the Sun, the smaller Joker represents the Moon, and the remaining 52 cards represent the 52 weeks of the year;

The suits Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades symbolize Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter seasons respectively.

And the J, Q, K respectively stand for Jack (Knight), Queen (Queen), King (King); the 12 cards KQJ represent 12 historical figures, featuring four kings, four queens, and four knights.

The "Knight" Spade J Hogel is the legendary Prince of Aalborg Kingdom, blessed by six Fairies, known as a notable historical figure and one of the powerful knights in history.

After the invention of cards sweeping across the continent, the title [Spade J] Hogel automatically became associated with the Aalborg Kingdom, constantly circulating within the kingdom.

These inherited titles from cards have varying abilities, some strong some weak, but they uniformly have a flaw that leads their owners…to become addicted to gambling!

The Kingdom of Hightins' Kingdom's Guardian [Master of the Fishing Spot] Fisherman Hawkins is a model compared to these guys.

Anyway, people have heard of gamblers losing their fortunes, but never a fisherman fishing themselves into poverty.

This Kingdom's Guardian puzzled as he pushed open the bedroom door:

"But, where exactly is the source of this turmoil coming from?

There are only a few who can stir up such a storm domestically.

Even if I don't care about politics, I know the reformist faction's top commanders were already stripped of military power by the ruling Church faction, weren't they?

Moreover, the Church controls the bottom-level permissions of Silver Law, if someone connects to instigate rebellion through the Law Network news would have reached immediately.

Back then, when Tribunal entered the realm with Her Majesty's hand order, I thought the internal disturbance caused by the beast tide and that [King of the Wild Hunt] had been suppressed."

In theory, [Kingdom's Guardian] only needs to maintain national security and the legitimacy of royal power.

If it's an internal Throne War, battles between two heirs have nothing to do with them, whoever wins still has to honor them.

But now [Evernight Queen] is still alive, firmly holding onto the royal power of the Three Kingdoms.

No internal war, regardless of intent, would defy the will of the master.

Rebels have no claim to authority, even if they eliminate political enemies and opposition they wouldn't receive the Queen's support.

Since power transition can't be achieved, it's a doomed coup, the leaders will most likely be executed.

Faced with such a situation, Spade J could not simply sit back, he slowly unsheathed the sword at his waist, ready to suppress the rebellion.

However, he had just pushed open the outer hall door when he saw a familiar silhouette like a moonlight sprite standing outside, seemingly waiting for him a long time.

Adorned in a light blue kingdom-style court gown, with a gemstone tiara, paired with golden high heels, her tall figure stunningly beautiful like a princess fleeing from a ball.

She curtsied playfully to the fierce-looking old man prepared to suppress the revolt:

"Uncle Hogel, it's been a long time!"

At her face, the latter was momentarily stunned, then showed delight, subconsciously moving forward two steps, his excited voice trembling:

"Vanessa? My little princess, haven't you been missing for over a decade? Where have you been all these years?

You're unharmed, that's wonderful, just truly wonderful!"

The person standing in front of Spade J is Byron's mother-in-law Vanessa, the only princess of this nation, the only daughter of Margaret I.
