"When do we take action?" Someone asked, "I feel the timing is about right. We can exert a little more effort, just a gentle push!"

The speaker made a simple pushing gesture. Some people showed expressions of agreement, but others shook their heads.

The oldest gentleman in the room chuckled, "Wait a bit longer, there's no need to rush. Haven't you read the newspapers?"

"The Federation Government has said that it will never interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, so we must let everything here occur naturally."

The gentleman who spoke earlier shook his head, "Actually, we don't need to do that. It will waste a lot of our time."

"But it can ensure that people in other areas won't emotionally resent us. Gentlemen, our interests are not only present in Nagariel but are worldwide, so the attitude of others toward us is especially important!"

"No one, organization, or country would want a partner who acts like a 'Conductor,' so we need to clarify our stance. Wait a bit longer, and soon we will receive what we desire!"

The chaos in the Royal Capital, with local areas declaring independence, means that if the Royal Capital doesn't come up with effective measures to change this situation, many things will gradually become uncontrollable and irreversible.

For those who are still undecided and remain neutral, the more inactive the royal family is, the more disappointed they become, ultimately forcing them to completely lean to the other side.

But the royal family wants to clarify its stance, and how easy is that?

The people from the United Development Company have already mixed many locals within the marchers' ranks. If the royal family tries to do anything, they will lead others to storm the Royal Palace, leaving the palace unable to make any sound.

If the royal family dispatches the Kingdom Guards or directly utilizes the army, it will inevitably lead to a more brutal conflict. Whether the royal family wins the conflict or loses all their chips in it, there can only be one loser.

As more and more regional rulers are convinced, the demise of this country enters a complete countdown. It will be dismembered, with regions not recognizing the royal family's legitimate ruling position, and the term "Nagariel United Kingdom" will exit the stage of history.

All these are choices made by the people, and the country, driven by public opinion, will be completely dismembered into ruins.

Many years later, people here who have grown up receiving Federation cultural education, speaking the Federation-accented common language, will forget everything that used to exist here. It will also become a state of the Federation, a giant autonomous state.

Of course, the Federation Government won't recognize this, but it's the truth.

While these gentlemen fantasize and talk about their visions for the future, a conversation deciding the fate of the country is taking place not far off in the Royal Palace.

The old King is older than he has ever been, his back bent low. Every attempt to straighten it sends stabbing pain through him, and he can no longer keep his back straight, just like most of the old men outside the palace.

But he is lucky. At least he still owns everything here, while those outside have never owned anything.

He stood in the room, supporting himself on the railing, looking out at the azure sky. After about two or three minutes, he sighed heavily and turned towards his eldest son.

His eldest son rarely appears before people, especially in the past two years. People have almost forgotten that the old King has an eldest son.

Whenever someone mentions this son, he would tell others that he sent his eldest son abroad to study, and this bastard refuses to return.

Those asking the question would smile awkwardly, trying to cover their unease about asking a silly question.

The foreign environment is indeed much better than the domestic one. If not considering the attraction of power itself, people would rather live abroad.

As the ruling class, they are very wealthy. They can squander the wealth obtained from oppressing the people to provide personal enjoyment. Many members of the ruling class families reside abroad for long periods and are reluctant to return home.

This issue touches upon the royal family; even royal family members behave this way. When this issue is magnified to a certain extent, it will inevitably trigger some social discussion, indeed not a good question.

However, no one knows that the old King's eldest son did not refuse to return home while abroad. He came back a long time ago, altered his appearance, and became active in society as the "Nagariel Youth Party Leader."

Previously, this Youth Party was the old King's weapon against foreigners. When they wanted someone to disappear, they only needed to push the issue to the Youth Party.

Because these issues became overly marked n politics, sometimes too sharp, the old King needed a trusted person to control the Youth Party, and his eldest son was the best choice.

Later, the Federation people arrived, and some unexpected changes happened again.

The old King's original plan was overturned by his son, but it seemed that Federation people weren't planning to use the Nagariel Youth Party. Now they faced a huge dilemma, and it was time to make a decision.

"This is our last chance…" The old King walked to his son's side, stroked his hair and cheeks, and finally held his hand, "Only this way will our bloodline continue!"

"Federation people are the most despicable, insidious, and vicious folk I've ever seen. If we don't do this, we are likely to be overthrown by those lowlifes, and this country will become their toy."

"They might find a lowlife to come forward, and by then, we will all die. I will die, you will die, they will chase you worldwide, and your siblings will die too. Only the royal family that has been annihilated is a good royal family in the eyes of Federation people."

"You must act before they install a puppet, even if I die, your siblings can live…"

Since Federation people are not planning to let the Youth Party stand out, let the Youth Party take the initiative and let his son overthrow him.

If others stab you, they're aiming for the vital parts, but if your own people do it, you will get hurt yet avoid the deadliest blow.

The old King's eyes were a bit cloudy as he looked at his son, "You just need to stir up momentum and then bring people in."

"Your mother and I will commit suicide, so you won't have to do anything by hand. Your siblings will survive. You can judge them. Isn't Federation people fond of talking about law?"

"Then you use the law to judge their crimes. They may lose freedom for a short time, but at least they'll be alive."

"With such achievements, even if Federation people don't want to see you, they cannot continue to ignore your existence, regardless of who replaces the royal family in this position…," the old King sighed again, "They cannot bypass you, your opinion will become extremely important."

"Even if you can't continue to rule this country for me, you will still be the most important person in this country, still the ruler."

"As long as you show closeness to the Federation and demonstrate your value, there will be a day you can reclaim everything!"

The old King's idea and reasoning are very correct, and the most troublesome issue in the transition between new and old regimes is the judgment of previous rulers and associated personnel.

Federation people dislike playing the villain themselves. They need a proxy to completely erase the royal family's influence from this country, so before they find a replacement, let the Eldest Prince step forward.

He overthrew the royal family's decayed rule and judged every royal family member according to the law. He is a hero, and no one can ignore his accomplishments and influence, not even the Federation people!

This is also the reason why the royal family hasn't made any statements recently. The royal family already has no chance of winning, since the moment those Provincial Governors declared independence, the old King realized he had lost.

The public opposes him, the rulers oppose him, and more terrifyingly, the Federation hasn't sent anyone to negotiate or communicate with him until now, indicating that they need him to play the villain role!

He doesn't even have a chance to surrender; Federation people definitely will not spare him, his fate is decided, so he might as well seek survival from death.

He tightly grasped his eldest son's hand, "You have no choice. Do you understand me?"

"Even if you can't sit in this position, at least you've protected our family from harm!"

The Eldest Prince nodded heavily and slowly, "I know what to do."

The oldest King exhaled with relief, becoming slightly relaxed. He let go of the hand, paced back and forth, "How long will it take for you to gather enough people?"

"No more than three days!"

"Good, I await your good news!"

...

Short and stocky, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, if were in a movie, Akumal, whose name might have been forgotten, is reading the newspaper.

His brows furrowed tightly. As Nagariel's political situation continues to deteriorate and the Federation turns a blind eye, Galil's exchange rate begins a dive after nearly half a year of gains.

Yesterday, Galil's exchange rate with Federation Sol was still 97 to 1, but today it has dropped to 121 to 1.

Don't think that exchange rate changes seem very far from ordinary people, but it is closely related to life for the Nagariel people who are currently effectively using two currencies.

Watching those panicked workers waving Galil in hopes of exchanging for Federation Sol, seeing their faces of panic and distress, witnessing their sweating, near-cry appearance, it's clear they are experiencing deep pain.

"Akumal, you have a call..."
