"Simply put, he is a very suitable king."

"Didn't you say all the troublemakers were dead?"

"But he isn't troublesome, is he? Moreover, he is a believer of the Holy Mother, currently studying abroad.

If Kriel has done such a thing, he will certainly rush back quickly."

"A believer of the Holy Mother..." Upon hearing this, Alka leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.

"Can he return safely?"

"Yes, Kriel isn't foolish enough to make an enemy of the Holy Mother Church. And his nephew is a Saint of the Holy Mother."

"Why?" Alka was somewhat confused, not fully understanding some politics of this world.

Although, to be honest, he didn't really understand politics himself.

But certainly, this Saint of the Holy Mother could, under some circumstances, replace Kriel.

Why leave such a formidable hidden threat?

Balazs seemed to understand Alka's confusion.

He explained beside him, "You are a believer of the Holy Mother, so you should know that Southern Cross Island doesn't really accept that. We believe in the White Mist Serpent, which is what we saw before."

Alka nodded, acknowledging that Southern Cross Island worships a powerful ruler in the Dream Realm.

Though Alka didn't really think that this Dream King would pay much attention to them.

"So this young man doesn't quite have the hearts of the people nor the ministers. To the islanders, he is an outsider."

Alka nodded, beginning to understand.

This young man might seek revenge, but evidently, the Holy Mother Church certainly wouldn't help him.

Such internal political strife is not the Church's concern.

And his influence over Kriel's power wouldn't be significant.

So he is someone who needs to be removed, but not at too great a cost.

"Kriel's idea might be to let his nephew return to seek revenge, thereby justifying eliminating him without offending the Church," Balazs succinctly summarized.

"So, do you plan to let him return and take over the throne after he kills Kriel?"

Alka looked at him and asked.

Balazs nodded, "I was born and grew up here. I don't want my vengeance to turn this country into a mess.

But I do truly hate him, so I wish for a slightly better plan. And now, this plan might work, right?"

"And you are a believer of the Holy Mother, aren't you? Earlier, we also learned in the Dream Realm that the serpent believed in by the nation has ended the covenant with the royal family and no longer protects the country's people.

Though we are not well-informed about these vast seas, and have not ventured too far, it has become increasingly chaotic recently. The seas have also become more dangerous.

People, even in dreams, seem to have more frequent nightmares, all indicating that the great god of the White Mist has left us."

Here, Balazs frowned and said, "So, if he ascends the throne, it would also pave the way for the Holy Mother Church to legitimately spread in this region.

Believing in a truly powerful Divine is a good thing. I suppose you wouldn't refuse, would you?"

After listening to Balazs, Alka propped his chin with his hand.

Looking at Balazs, he said, "You successfully persuaded me, and your insights are sharp."

The departure of the White Mist Serpent has led to a Dream Realm in this settlement where there remains a gathering of fog-like entities.

But those black mist creatures that long lurked on the outskirts, certainly can't resist wreaking havoc.

Spiritual decline is inevitable; it certainly won't last long.

Once these black mist creatures have vented for a while, a balance will naturally emerge with the fog-like entities.

But the populace once protected by the presence of the White Mist Serpent had never had nightmares.

They certainly cannot accept this.

And with such a powerful Dream King in this area, it naturally kept the environment quite stable.

The departure of a mighty being naturally caused chaos in this region.

Southern Cross Island simply moved from complexity to simplicity.

But going from complexity to simplicity is not easy.

Now is indeed a rare opportunity.

Gaining more followers for the Holy Mother is certainly beneficial, as Alka has always been under the grace of the Holy Mother and her Church.

Honestly, he hasn't provided much helpful support.

Hopefully, this time can be considered a token of goodwill.

If revenge could reduce the loss of innocent lives, why not?

It's just a matter of waiting a little longer.

I can afford to wait.
