Chapter 48 Politics: (2)
"Moreover, according to the information you sent me before, the current commander of the Angel Legion is actually a super newcomer who is over five thousand years old. Look at the current combat power of the Angel Legion. Compared with ten thousand years ago, the difference is not just a little bit. After the veteran angels learned that you were suppressing them, they all resigned voluntarily to pave the way for the new angels. They seem to be living a leisurely life after retirement. But have you ever thought that those warriors would rather participate in the righteous order that you have worked together to establish than enjoy themselves and waste their time after retirement?"
"They followed you through thick and thin, just to see and participate in the just order they were establishing."
"They have just built a beautiful home with you, but you kick them aside and enjoy the honor of being the King of Angels yourself. Isn't that a bit too cruel to these aunties?"
Hinata, seeing that she couldn't get an erection, started a romantic relationship with Queen Keisha.
"Is that so? Did I really go that far? I just watched them fight me to the death all these years, and now that things have finally settled down, I wanted them to enjoy themselves a bit. And they agreed to all of this."
Keisha had some doubts about whether Hinata's words were consistent with the thoughts of the angels.
However, over the years, she did feel that her companions had become somewhat distant from her, the King of Gods. She originally thought it was because of the change in her status and the fact that she had spent much less time with her old comrades. Now it seems that, just as her daughter said, she must have disappointed her comrades.
She truly didn't understand politics. Having been a god for tens of thousands of years, she had almost completely forgotten her emotions. If Hinata hadn't awakened the emotions sealed deep within her today, she wouldn't have realized that she had made such a wrong decision.
Recalling the oath she had made with those warriors, and the promise she had made to them to witness together the spread of angelic justice and order throughout the universe, she realized that she seemed to have truly broken her promise.
Over the years, in preparation for the new king's ascension to the throne, she did indeed relegate her old comrades to the sidelines. She knew this would dishearten some of them, but she had no choice but to do so. Otherwise, without her help, the new king would certainly be unable to handle those arrogant and self-important veteran angels once he ascended the throne.
Rather than leaving the problem to the new king, she should take drastic measures to eliminate all future troubles for him. This is also the best solution calculated by the sacred knowledge repository.
The sudden appearance of Hinata seems to offer her a better alternative in her treasure trove of knowledge. Fine, let Hinata give it a try, see if she can use the Galactic Force gene within her to convince those old fogies.
After all, the reason she hadn't let Annie Xide succeed her before was because she was afraid that Annie Xide's foundation was too weak and she wouldn't be able to control those veteran angels.
However, Hinata seems to have a good idea. Perfect, she'll use this to test Hinata and see if she has the potential to become the King of Gods.
"Good boy, after a while I'll hold a coronation ceremony for you and make you the Angel Crown Prince. Then I'll put those aunties under your leadership, and then we'll have an arms race. I'll lead the newly promoted battle angels and we'll see if you're more capable or if your mother is more skilled."
Hearing Keisha's words, Hinata was somewhat puzzled: "Those veteran angels are all your capable subordinates, right, Mother? How could they possibly obey my orders? Maybe if I go to ask them to come out of retirement, they'll cause me trouble because you suddenly changed the choice of the crown prince?"
Hinata shook her head and refused without hesitation. Even if she was naive, she knew how much of a commotion a new crown prince would cause. If it were the new angels, it would be fine, since they would respect Keisha's orders even if they didn't understand them and wouldn't do anything too outrageous. But asking her to provoke the veteran angels was practically suicide. They already harbored resentment towards Keisha for neglecting and suppressing them over the years, but now that she, as Keisha's daughter, was forcibly leading those veteran angels with illustrious battle records, their first instinct would probably be to test her capabilities as crown prince. If it were her, she might even take the opportunity to beat the crown prince half to death.
No, no, not to mention that with Annie Xide, the successor personally groomed by Keisha's mother, there's no way she'll ever be the Angel King. Even if Keisha's mother were to give her the position, the veteran angels wouldn't accept it. Keisha's mother is just inviting hatred towards her.
The veteran angels had already tacitly accepted Anise as their successor, so what would they think of her suddenly appearing as Keisha's daughter?
The other party will think that Keisha wants to replace the crown prince, and that it is someone none of them know.
She was afraid that the older women would gang up on her, wanting to test her strength. Should she fight back or not?
If she retaliates, she might incur the wrath of those veteran angels. Then, if Keisha's mother intervenes to resolve the conflict, those veteran angels will turn their resentment towards Keisha's mother into a deep-seated hatred towards her. If she doesn't retaliate, those guys will likely become even angrier when they see they can't break through her defenses, believing that Keisha's mother deliberately brought her in to suppress their arrogance. If things go wrong, it might even provoke the veteran angels to unite and launch a rebellion. In that case, no matter the outcome, those veteran angels will not have a good ending, which would be a great loss for both Keisha's mother and the angels.
She didn't want to take on this hot potato.
Seemingly sensing Hinata's concerns, Keisha immediately shook her head and said, "Forget it then. Anyway, those guys won't dare to cause trouble here. With the new king's ascension, no matter how much trouble they cause, it's no longer my concern. I'll just step back and focus on my research. Even if the angels split because of this, I'll pretend I don't see it."
Seeing Hinata refuse, Keisha immediately resorted to shamelessness. She knew Hinata's character well. Since Hinata had proposed to resolve the conflict between the veteran angels and the new angels, she must have a solution. However, what she needed to do was to make the veteran angels acknowledge Hinata as the crown princess and let them know that the power they would receive later came from the little girl in front of them, rather than from her sudden act of kindness.
