The Wolf’s Bride

Chapter 1495

“After more than a hundred years of development, he finally did it. Although he has never appeared, he turned Florence into his own domain. The emperors in our history have always been puppets.”

Registus’ words were filled with bitterness.

Andrius was astonished.

A dictator...

That meant monopolizing power, overriding the law, and using personal interests to control the will of the country and the lives and deaths of all people. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

A dictator did as they pleased arbitrarily with life and death at their whims.

Although such a figure might be domineering, they were not qualified leaders. After all, the world ultimately belonged to the people, not to any one person.

Registus continued, “In fact, when you started to deal with the ancient martial families, the Progenitor Emperor warned me not to go too far.

“However, I knew your determination, so I suppressed this matter and didn’t tell you. It’s because of that that he deliberately showed up just now. On one hand, it’s to deter me. On the other hand, it’s to let the Angel Legion take the stage and make its debut.

“In the future, he’ll have enough reason and means to control the situation in Florence according to his will. If anything goes against his wishes, he’ll suppress it with force.”

The Progenitor Emperor’s ambitions were clear to all! He wanted to overturn the rhythm of Florence!

Andrius clenched his fists and said coldly, “Why don’t you resist?”

No matter what, Registus was still the emperor of Florence in name. There was still hope.

“Resist?” He smiled bitterly. “Andrius, you’re too naïve.”

Andrius was slightly stunned and did not respond.

“For more than two hundred years since the founding of the new dynasty of Florence, every emperor has been under the control of the Progenitor Emperor and couldn’t make any waves.

“It was only the father of the previous emperor who met a formidable master in your Klein family. He managed to cultivate some power that could contend with the Progenitor Emperor.”

Andrius could not help but fall silent.

Yes, with the prestige of the Progenitor Emperor establishing the new dynasty, it would be easy to win over a group of loyal followers.

Ordinary people simply could not stop him. It was only when that group of people passed away that there would be an opportunity.

Coincidentally, it was at that time that the Kleins rose to power. Thus, everything fell into place.

“At that time, the situation was even more complicated than it is now.” Registus continued, “Overall, Florence was in a state of chaos with three powers vying for dominance.

“The first was the secret force led by the Progenitor Emperor. The second was the ancient martial families that spring up like mushrooms after rain. The third was the Kleins who gradually rose to power. Unfortunately...”

At that point, Registus’ eyes were filled with a hint of sadness. “The Kleins were annihilated by the ancient martial families working together, and I was replaced.

“I could only flee to a foreign land, hide in the countryside, and wait for an opportunity.

“What’s even more terrifying was that during that period, the Progenitor Emperor remained hidden and did not make any moves. Neither did he have any conflict with the Kleins nor did he get involved with the ancient martial families.

“It was only until now when you defeated the Insect Ruler and suppressed the ancient martial families that he came out. I can’t even hope to match his schemes.”

In the end, Registus could not help but speak self-deprecatingly.

Indeed, Arthur had clearly used Andrius as a pawn in this operation.

He let Andrius suppress the Insect Ruler and quell the Murrfield rebellion, and just as Andrius was about to bring the ancient martial families under control, he jumped out to reap the fruits of victory...

It was ingenious beyond words.
