Chapter 1081: Chapter 139 Ofelia Danisoya
Ofelia Danisoya.
This was the sixth Prince of the Kingdom of Dennisiowa whom Annan had met on the treasure ship "Silver."
Though merely the "sixth Prince," which sounds a bit far back in the line of succession... even before the death of Philip and the concession of the Eldest Princess, the heirs to the Kingdom of Noah numbered only half that.
However, in the United Kingdom, Ofelia could still be considered among those fairly high in the line of succession.
—For this generation’s Dennisiowa heirs, there are over twenty direct descendants of the royal family, not counting any illegitimate children.
The main reason for this is that the spouses of the King of Dennisiowa far outnumber those of the King of Noah.
There is also the fact that the degenerate has not yet come to the United Kingdom to cause trouble. Should the degenerate be stationed here long term... It would probably only take about half a year for the Dennisiowa family’s heirs to decrease by a single digit.
But there is a problem here.
Although the Dennisiowa family has so many heirs... they do not have a reputation abroad for a pillar of talent like Noah does.
This is not a problem with His Majesty the King of Dennisiowa’s education of his children.
It is that the advisors in the Dennisiowa Privy Council do not allow the Dennisiowa family to have excessively excellent heirs. They permit the Dennisiowa to squander power at will—they can be greedy, frivolous, lazy, lustful, hot-tempered, or arrogant.
The only thing they cannot be is a wise king.
If they end up spoiling a future heir, it doesn’t matter.
Should the King need support—be it financial, policy-related, or life choices—the "Council of Advisors" can offer their assistance very amiably.
That’s also why their name is the "Council of Advisors."
Because, nominally, they are the advisors to this United Kingdom.
But conversely... it also means that the real power of the United Kingdom is essentially held by the Council of Advisors.
The position of the King of Dennisiowa still exists, and still claims to be sacred. But what it does not have is real power—while the people respect the King and the royal authority, the true talents do not obey the King.
If the King can accept this, then the Council of Advisors is the best support for the country. The King can have a multitude of spouses, hunt as he pleases, and enjoy an array of delicacies...
But if the King tries to "rectify the country," he would immediately face unprecedented suppression.
For this reason, the situation in Dennisiowa is utterly different from that in Noah and Winter. It is no exaggeration to call the entire Dennisiowa family "good-for-nothings."
They are either spoiled brats or canaries cooped up at home. Far from dealing with the affairs of government, even their attempts to seek their mentors’ views on politics are met with intimidating glares and silent responses.
One of Annan’s mirrors, "Dream Stealer," once impersonated a "Dennisiowa" by stealing others’ memories and distorting their perceptions.
He attempted to usurp the country in this manner.
Because no one truly cared about a person from Dennisiowa for who they were, not just their bloodline—so his disguise was extremely successful.
The most amusing part was that the Dennisiowa he was impersonating was far more foolish than himself. Thus, he needed to play the fool throughout the whole process, contending for the throne with other heirs.
—His plan was a great success.
Because the Dennisiowas’ desire for power was not very strong, and their personal strengths were exceptionally weak. Therefore, their "struggle for the throne" seemed more like a dispute over pride, or merely a "quest for face."
Among the four competing for the throne against the Dream Stealer Denton, two withdrew early because they made a fool of themselves or felt it too troublesome. Denton then personally devised a conspiracy to kill another... and at this moment, it was Yawen, who could no longer stand the farce, who personally exposed him.
"It’s simply a farce."
That’s how Yawen commented, "Although I don’t know what exactly he is up to, it would definitely cause troubles for me if he succeeded. So I sent him off to Noah."
The current Dennisiowa King, is none other than the lucky one who had competed with Denton for the throne and was "promoted to champion" during the final round.
And compared to his siblings, Ofelia was already considered one of the more excellent ones.
He had no absurd tastes, nor did he care much for glory and wealth. He was just a pure troubadour—Ofelia’s understanding of the harp could even qualify him as one of Yawen’s clergy. He arranged many of Yawen’s classic pieces and received praise from the Singing Duo.
—But his path to priesthood encountered obstacles.
This "creative troubadour" would always be met with strange looks whenever he introduced himself.
Either overenthusiastic girls causing him endless troubles or obsequious flatterers that made him want to vomit.
Because even if the King didn’t have real power... at the very least, he was a member of the Advisory Council, able to directly influence the country.
As long as they could curry favor with the future King, they could add the word "royal" to their professions—painters became royal painters, musicians became royal musicians, dancers became royal dancers.
Whether it be fame, power, or money, they could grasp it immediately. Even if they were highly talented artists... who decreed that they must be poor and unrecognized?
With wealth and fame, they naturally preferred it that way.
And all the more so for romantic relationships.
Ofelia was cheerful and gentle, and unlike his siblings, had a particularly good temperament. Far from offending royal dignity, even when engaging in roughhousing or heavier jokes, Ofelia would just laugh it off, never holding a grudge.
In addition to his own exceptionally handsome looks—he had neat black hair, deep amber eyes. Over 1.85 meters tall, with clearly defined abs, his facial features and visage reminded people of a philosopher’s deeply profound sculpture.
And he was also an artist... he could play and sing, particularly excelling at improvisation. That such an outstanding young man was popular before he revealed his identity is only too normal.
But he knew, his friends were not after glory and wealth. Yet, others who knew his surname would naturally assume his friends were of dubious character—do you claim you didn’t know his identity? Could you really not know?
So, those friends who could speak freely with him, make music and sing together, upon gradually learning his identity... either became distant, or treated him with respect due to his status, or had their reputation tarnished as "flatterers of Dennisiowa."
—Indeed, just by being friends with Ofelia, his friends’ reputation could be damaged.
Ultimately, Ofelia could no longer tolerate this kind of life.
It was then that he met Selicia.
