Chapter 492

Chapter 492: Chapter 386 The First Round Table Conference_2 Chapter 492: Chapter 386 The First Round Table Conference_2 But the Minister of Camelot also professed his loyalty to Queen Sofia, positioned as her absolute confidant—precisely for this reason, Queen Sofia had entrusted him with the role of Minister of the Privy Council.

The Camelot family could be considered a collateral line of the Du Lac family, their ancestors likewise descendants of Lancelot I; there was kinship between them.

Five years ago, Queen Sofia had even secretly instructed him...

should the Du Lac Family be wiped out due to the curse or become extinct, the Camelot family could then adopt one of their offspring into the Du Lac family and install a new monarch.

However, from the moment Queen Sofia passed away last night, and the Hall of Silver and Tin did not summon him urgently...

the Minister of Camelot had already sensed foreboding.

It wasn’t until he saw the newspaper this morning that he completely lost heart.

...

Without a doubt, he was not regarded by Isabel as one of the reliable and trustworthy individuals.

This actually made sense.

After all, objectively speaking, the bloodline of the Camelot family posed a threat to Isabel, who did not possess the aptitude for the Path of Authority.

Moreover, even if old Camelot was loyal to Queen Isabel, his descendants might not necessarily maintain that same loyalty inherited from their clan.

...But that being said, old Camelot had watched Isabel grow up, and he felt somewhat saddened by her wariness towards him.

What surprised the Minister of Camelot, however, was that the young minister who enjoyed Queen Isabel’s trust did not enter the Round Table Hall first.

Even as the Knights had nearly all entered, there was still no sign of Minister Moriarty.

—Could it be that he was late?

That was what the Knights initially thought.

But after all the Knights had arrived, that seat at the Round Table remained empty.

The first Round Table meeting after the accession of the new monarch only had one unexplained absence.

The heavy armor settled neatly, emitting a crisp sound like an army halting in unison.

Isabel subconsciously pursed her lips at the magnificent scene before her, filled with nervousness.

But she still remembered the advice from Aiwass.

She even saw it as a test—

Even though she had Aiwass to rely on, and elders like Ligeia to support her, she was ultimately Avalon’s queen and almost the sole heir to the Du Lac Family.

Aside from her two-year-old brother John and her biological father, Prince Albert, who had fled the royal family and the curse long ago, Isabel had no other relatives left.

She had to become strong.

Perhaps Aiwass could help her, but he couldn’t help her forever—Aiwass did not possess the traits of the Path of Authority, meaning rule and power were of no use to him.

Aiwass was destined for higher realms, and when that time came, Avalon would only be a hindrance to him.

—Even if she couldn’t be of help, she would not become a burden.

This was Isabel’s steadfast principle from the beginning.

It was with this principle that she faced the sinister Curse, and with it, she repeatedly sought her own end in nightmares.

“Your Majesty.”

The Minister of Camelot was the first to rise, respectfully saying, “Everyone is present, please review.”

Subsequently, he respectfully handed over the packet containing the documents to the Grand Justice.

The Grand Justice opened and inspected them, and after verifying they were in order, proceeded to hand them to Isabel.

These were the policy agendas for the current and following year, drafted by the Minister of the Privy Council.

They had been completed while Queen Sofia was still lucid, checked and signed by her.

Since the new monarch had virtually no knowledge of state affairs upon accession, acting on a whim based on one’s intuition or the counsel of ministers could result in errors that might be irreparable for years, or even decades, to come.
