Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 333

Richard frowned slightly, but in the end, he just smiled and shook his head. “If this will make you a little happier, then I'll take you.”

I got up and looked out the window. It was already daytime the next day.

Better to take action than to sit around and wait for the worst.

Saltmere River—

The banks of the Saltmere River were quiet, and the gate on the great bridge had been opened.

“Opening this gate closes the gap between the rich and the poor.” Richard said with a wave of his hand. Carts loaded with ingredients were already crossing the bridge to deliver food, and some small vendors from the slums were packing up handmade goods to sell outside the city.

“Under the old ways, they had no rights and could have been easily wiped out. Are they a clan that was exiled here?”

My question made Richard chuckle. “Our Claire is sometimes too clever. These people were indeed nobles before. But they had a disagreement with Harriet's mother, the emperor of Bravenland at the time. They were framed, thrown over here, and their livelihoods were cut off. Harriet's mother's maternal family is the first noble house of Serythia, which makes her Anna's aunt.”

I sorted through my thoughts. This meant Bravenland was originally a sphere of influence for Serythia, and Anna was Harriet's real backer all along.

So Max's marriage to her was also to stabilize the situation here; otherwise, Anna's family would help Lily retake Bravenland.

“But Anna wouldn't genuinely help Lily, would she? Lily killed Harriet and Harriet's mother. They're just using Lily. Once Lily takes Bravenland, they'll surely kill her, right?” I was starting to understand the conspiracies between these nations.

“Yes, but no matter what, Lily has to take this gamble. Otherwise, she has no way out. Max's marriage to Anna currently prevents Anna's family from interfering in Bravenland's affairs, which leaves Lily without a backer.”

“I understand.”
