And then, there was no longer any occurrence of the Family Head passing away too early until today."
A not so interesting story, that was Kael’s opinion of the Gransham Family, a climax-filled beginning hit by a not so interesting conclusion.
He frowned, so the contemporary Marquis of Gransham was just because he was burdened with a curse for many years, which eventually entirely transformed the family’s direction from the iron-blooded hawks to the so-called doves?
Now, the entire Bell Federation, according to the people of future generations, it is still largely the hawks who dominate, after all, the founding heroes of the Bell Federation are not dead yet, those old men, everyone is an iron-blooded hawk.
"Does the Bell Federation just watch as the Gransham Family heads towards decline?" Kael frowned and said softly.
"How is that possible, after all, the Gransham Family were the federation’s meritorious warriors, with six generations and twelve generals, it’s not an exaggeration to say that they were completely loyal to the Bell Federation, but the problem is that the federation didn’t notice any issue."
Seemingly recalling something unpleasant, Olivia took out a bottle of wine from her space equipment, straightaway bit off the cork with good teeth, and in a gulping manner, chugged half of the bottle.
Hearing Olivia’s words, Kael sighed softly in his mind, probably understanding what was happening.
There aren’t many things that could have the Bell Federation at a loss for finding the source of the issue. The Bell Federation had developed to this day without relying on the help of others, everything had been accumulated generation after generation.
Now that they had utilized the force of the Bell Federation and still couldn’t pinpoint the issue the Gransham Family faced, it indicated that those who acted must be very special.
Either it’s those top nations on the continent...
Or, it’s those top entities that even the Bell Federation didn’t want to face.
Ancient Totems!

Beings that had ignited the Divine Fire!
Ancient Species dominated by Dragons!
Abyss Lord!
Heavenly Sovereign!
Elemental Monarch!
King of Hell!
Counting them out, those capable of doing this so effortlessly were expected to be these entities.
None of these entities are easy to negotiate with; even if indeed conflicts arose with these entities, the most cost-effective approach wasn’t going to war, but rather compromising.
Thinking this way, Kael could vaguely understand the method the Gransham Family adopted. Everyone would fear death, and after so many generations had died without finding a solution, the simplest method would indeed be to directly side with the entity that could solve the problem.
For example... Holy Briania.
After all, Holy Briania had the most complete channels for communicating with the gods on the entire continent. It seemed completely possible that as long as the Gransham Family offered a high enough price, they could use the channel of the gods to eradicate the curse hovering above their heads.
In doing so, the Gransham Family, freed from the burden of death, would then have the opportunity to regrow and strengthen.
... Honestly, standing from his own family’s perspective, Kael agreed with the choice of the Gransham Family.
But as the saying goes, "butt decides the brain." Depending on where you sit, you must think accordingly.
The future maneuvers of the [Strategist] still bring tremendous impact to both the Bell Federation and Lancaster Territory. Therefore, Kael would still unhesitatingly disrupt all the plans formulated in the [Strategist]’s mind.
Thinking this, Kael’s expression gradually became resolute.
Olivia didn’t have the Mind Reading Technique, so naturally, she didn’t know what Kael was thinking. She simply stood from her perspective, thought about the temperament of this generation’s Marquis of Gransham, then added:
"Oh right, actually, this generation’s Marquis of Gransham’s philosophy completely opposes that of Duke Lion Heart. You know the character of the Duke, a typical proponent of strength, who likes to arm the Duchy of Lancastrian by every means possible.
The Marquis of Gransham believes it’s alright for the Duchy to maintain plenty of military power, but absolutely forbids the unrestrained expansion of military authority, as it could lead to the holding of too much power and cause division within the federation.
Unfortunately, among the major duchies, the Duchy of Lancastrian is that crazy guy arming itself. Therefore, in recent years, there has been frequent conflict over this issue between the Marquis of Gransham and Duke Lion Heart."
Kael nodded, indicating he understood.
Now he roughly knew the main cause of the issues concerning the [Strategist] and the Duchy of Lancastrian in the past.
First and foremost, the Gransham Family side was already unable to endure the gradual decline of their family, seeking survival, also guided by the contemporary Marquis of Gransham, their allegiance gradually shifted towards Holy Briania.
Secondly, the relationship between the [Strategist] himself and Duke Lion Heart was extremely bad. You could say their philosophies were completely opposite. Thus, having already decided to cooperate with Holy Briania, the [Strategist] planned to find some people, simply take them out, as proof of allegiance to join Holy Briania.
Because the relation between Duke Lion Heart and the Marquis of Gransham was not harmonious, the Gransham side immediately aimed at Duke Lion Heart and his future candidates.

In the end, the originally most favored candidate of Duke Lion Heart, Earl Rezhe, who was head of the Charles family, became the chicken that the Marquis of Gransham planned to sacrifice as proof of allegiance.
