The Rise of the Titan

Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Noble Rebellion



"The Tui'en Order? What is this tyrannical girl thinking? Does she want to dismantle our noble class?" An angry voice resounded in a dark secret chamber.

"What a Tui'en Order. If this decree from the little tyrant succeeds, what will our families look like in a few hundred years? They'll likely be fragmented and disintegrated."

"My foolish sons have already started fighting with my eldest over it. It makes me want to beat those idiots. How can they not see through such an obvious ploy?" one noble said bitterly, his voice tinged with a faint murderous intent, genuinely considering killing his offspring.

"My family is in chaos too. Oh, my good sons and daughters. I feel that soon they might think of coming after me."

"To pledge allegiance to the new queen with your head? Your offspring are really something. Hahaha!"

"Anyone with a brain can see the malice in the Tui'en Order, but so what? It's an overt scheme," a noble snorted, a hint of admiration in his tone. "We underestimated this Queen Remilia. To come up with such a scheme, she's far stronger than her father, Belladine."

"For those of us who didn't inherit, the Tui'en Order is a supreme grace. If the king had issued this order when I was young and without inheritance rights, I would have supported him with all my might."

"That's the beauty of an overt scheme. Seeing through it doesn't help. According to the Tui'en Order, all noble offspring can inherit. For you guys who love women and have tons of children, your lands will be divided into dozens of knight's fiefs. In a few generations, the family legacy will vanish. This cuts our roots."

"This isn't something she could come up with. Apart from killing, what else can that little girl do?"

"Then who devised such a venomous decree?"

"It must be that golden dragon. Only he could come up with something so ruthless."

"Why didn't he implement it during his rule? Instead, he waits until he's gone and lets this little tyrant enforce it. If he had ordered it, we would have had no choice but to comply."

"Do we have another choice now?"

"Of course we do." The noble's face twisted into a sinister smile. "The Scarlet family isn't just Remilia."

"Are you talking about other branches? What use are they? Only Remilia has legitimate inheritance rights. The branches don't."

"But if this queen suddenly dies, won't those branches gain inheritance rights? We can just support a compliant one."

"Regicide! Are you mad?"

"Why not?"

"Don't forget, Princess Remilia was raised by that tyrant. If he comes back and finds her dead, who can withstand his wrath? You? Me? Our descendants?"

"Assassinating the queen is ill-considered. The tyrant has the power to obliterate a kingdom. The only thing he cares about in the Kingdom of Rockman is the queen. If she dies, I can't imagine the consequences."

"So, what do you propose?"

"Let our people start a rebellion! Use the chaos and the deaths of commoners to force this little girl to compromise. See how many must die before she agrees to negotiate and return our rights."

"Will she care about those commoners?"

"Judging by her decrees, she cares about them as much as the tyrant does."

"Alright, let's try that first."

In dark chambers, one after another, greedy and angry faces whispered and reached a consensus with the help of teleportation arrays.

In less than nine years after the Demon Scourge and less than three years after the regent duke left, the Kingdom of Rockman erupted in an unprecedented rebellion during Queen Remilia's rule.

Almost simultaneously, rebel forces appeared across the Kingdom of Rockman, with over sixty rebel armies emerging, spreading chaos throughout the land.

All the rebellions were led by nobles, and the reason was their dissatisfaction with Queen Remilia, claiming she oppressed the nobility excessively.

These rebellious nobles demanded the return of their usurped rights and an apology from the queen for ordering the slaughter of nobles.

Queen Remilia did not respond but decisively deployed the army to suppress and massacre any who dared to rebel and challenge her authority without any intention of compromise.

After brutally suppressing more than a dozen rebel forces, Queen Remilia discovered that the highest-ranking noble among the rebels was an earl. No marquis or higher-ranking nobles participated, and these rebellious nobles were all alone, with their families and relatives mysteriously vanished.

"Still sending pawns to test me? These cowardly scum." Sitting on her throne, the blue-haired, red-eyed loli queen had a cold expression and a murderous aura. In her azure eyes, golden light faintly flickered.

"Your Majesty, this is one of the most likely outcomes of the Tui'en Order. The landed nobles will never accept it willingly. This was expected, so there's no need for you to be angry."

"Not accept it? Hmph, then I'll kill until they accept it. I am the kingdom, and my will is the kingdom's will." Remilia's face showed undisguised murderous intent. To her, problems that could be solved through killing weren't problems. Eliminating those who caused problems would leave no problems.

"Your Majesty, pure slaughter can't solve all problems. Sometimes you need to use gentle methods." A minister, looking at Remilia, who had developed some regal bearing after a few years of rule, cautiously advised.

"Retreating means not having enough strength. Only the weak need to compromise. During my brother's rule, these scum didn't dare make any noise."

"That's different!" The nobles and ministers in the council chamber exchanged knowing glances and silently complained. No one dared to speak up.

Although Remilia had developed some kingly demeanor, she was still essentially a young loli, one who would never grow up.
