《Legacy: Lord Alba》Chapter 52: Start the calm
Advertisement
Frey silently nodded, he thought of seeing the big picture of the region through this situation seemed ideal, but thinking about the lingering threat he asked: "But, Third prince, do we have enough time to proceed with everything?"
Alexander just smiled slightly and said: "we do, even if my father has already sent the letter regarding these events to the Sea Palace, it would take at least two weeks to reach them, thereafter they will give us their announcement and giving us more or less two weeks to present ourselves at the Sea Palace to accept the crimes, this will give you enough time to respond to the James clan. If nobody takes any action then the Sea Palace would send a couple of elders to capture us, which would take them a month to get here, So we have two and a half months to complete our preparations."
Frey wrinkled his eyebrows and asked: "they are taking such a long time to move, perhaps they are not afraid of us fleeing."
Alexander shrugged his shoulders and replied:" It is not that they do not want to move faster, it's just that they can't, Normally the bases of the powers are located very far from the kingdoms and it would take several months to reach it on foot, As for the need to announcing it before taking any action, they have to do otherwise the remaining powers would use it as an excuse to dishonor them, which will make it so that the normal people would despise joining them."
Upon hearing those words Frey understood the general situation, After a moment Alexander continued: "As for fleeing, if the people that the power pursues flee, it only benefits them, This will demonstrate their power and increase their prestige," When Alexander finished, Frey saw the situation completely clear, Although he did not know why Alexander knew so well about the working of the powers, he did not ask, after all that was not his business.

Alexander knew that he did not need to make any of these arrangements at all, because, with two and a half months of time, they can easily defend themselves from the Sects. For now, Audrey could only deal with a Cultivator at the sixth level of the Realm of Qi Gathering and within two months she could easily contend with a seventh or eighth level opponent, and only the great and supreme Elders can deal with her.
----------------------------------
Also, the cultivation of Audrey progresses by leaps and bounds because she already opened the acupuncture points, She just cleans the meridians and proceeds to fill the acupuncture point with qi.
For an ordinary artist is much more difficult, because first must open a point, then with all his qi, must clean the channels that join the open point with the point you want to open and finally attack him, which will exhaust all the qi in his body, regardless of success or failure. and that cycle will repeat according to the quality of your cultivation technique.
Collect qi, Clean channels, attack the point, the more points you want to open the higher the amount of Qi. This task, unless one has a way of recovering qi quickly can take many years.
----------------------------------
But this would have several negative consequences, the worst possible scenario is that. Seeing their rapid growth, the powers will unite against them to find the secrets behind their growth. so to avoid that, it was better to maintain a low profile until they have the power to defeat them.
After finishing the topic, both the child and the old man said goodbye and went to rest.
Meanwhile in Walter's Mansion.
Inside Walter's office, there were three people with one being a woman and two middle-aged men, the woman was sitting behind a desk with her head facing down, while the two men were sitting on the other side waiting for the other party to speak.

The middle-aged woman had an ugly look on her face, She could never comprehend what happened today, she thought that by this time the ninth concubine would be rotting in jail or had been dead.
But no, the ninth was perfectly alright, but in return her husband was quite miserable, he was injured and humiliated, She never thought that the ninth would have a maid with strength to defect an elder of a Sect, with this everything ended up severely, the elder of the Sea Palace ended up Crippled, and it was all her fault.
Right now, until her father wakes up she will be in charge of his business, which will take up a lot of her time. Added to that she has to worry about the revenge of the other party, and with the strength of the other party, She couldn't do anything to defend herself. The only thing that was in her favor was that her son was the direct disciple of the Supreme Elder of the Sea Palace, which she hoped was enough to dissuade the other party from acting against her.
Moments later Joanna asked: "has my husband sent the news to the Sea Palace?"
The two managers had previously opposed making a move against the former ninth concubine, but under Joanna's foolishness, they had no choice but to follow her instructions which lead them to where they are now. hiding their displeasure one of them replied: "Yes, the king has already sent the news this afternoon"
Joanna could only sigh and gave a couple of orders: "Levi, try to control the news of what happened as soon as possible and see to that so it doesn't reach the ears of other stores and the experts who are guarding the mansion and the warehouses, We have to prevent them from giving up, give increments if necessary "
After a moment Joanna continued: "Alan, starting tomorrow you need to hire more cultivators, the stronger the better, you will make them guard the warehouses and the mansion, and double the security, As for business everything will continue as if nothing had happened, is it clear?"
The two men nodded, Then left the office to complete their task, leaving Joanna alone who murmur: "This is the best I can do, now it all depends on my fate," After a few moments, she finally stopped and slowly left the room, Preparing to sleep.
The next morning
The Capital City was in turmoil, First the king gave an arrest warrant against his own wife, which had a high impact on the citizens, but what struck them the most was what happened next, The ninth concubine or rather the former ninth concubine, asked the King for a divorce, something that was rarely seen on the continent. Although they did not know what was happening if something was clear it's that, this time the king has lost his face.

How to raise a Hive Queen
This story is about a newborn Hive Queen, which gets raised in an unexpected environment. The first part of the story will focus on her development and the challenges that come with it. Eventually she will start to produce her own swarm of hive creatures. The species of the Hive Queen is called the Sylv and they are a insectoid species with an hive mind. The Sylv can evolve themselves through extracting traits from other non Sylv creatures. This is limited to modify the basic set of creatures the Sylv can produce, they are not able to create completely new creatures. In this regard they are more like ants, who have workers, soldiers and queen ants. The Sylv live underground in so called hive complexes and use living structures in them to produce more of their kind. The Hive Queen is the leader of a Sylv Hive and responsible for evolving the swarm. This novel takes place in a fantasy setting and was inspired by other hive species like the Zerg from "Starcraft" made by Blizzard Entertainment, the Arachnea from "Her majesty's swarm" published on j-novel club, and the Vex from "I don't want to be the Hive Queen" by ValetheHowl. I really enjoy stories with an organic hive mind species and want to contribute myself. The focus and theme of this story will change as the Hive Queen matures and defines the goals she wants to achieve. If you like this story also check out my other fiction "To former Glory" here on Royal Road :D
