Chapter 118 The Heiress Of The Throne Position

"Your position as heiress !?..." Iman asked in surprise

"Third Princess, what do you mean by this statement?" Noelle asked in a cold voice, looking at Third Princess Zina.

"Isn't it clear, I am here today to claim my position as the direct heiress of the Lionar kingdom throne," said Zina in a serious voice

"Third Princess, what do you mean? This position is not something that you can take back easily," Alexander said in an annoyed voice, looking at Zina with an angry expression.

"Princess Noelle is the heiress to the throne now. You have lost your position and regaining it will not be so easy, Lady Zina" Foran said.

"You're wrong about that General Foran, I didn't lose my position. Formally, I'm still the heiress to the throne," Zina said in a serious voice.

"..." Noelle, after hearing Noelle's words, opened her eyes in surprise and horror

(So, she actually decided to risk it all just to have the support of the Parada family.) Fray thought with an emotionless face looking at Zina.

"What!? Do you mean that the royal Diwan has not recognized the first princess as heiress to the throne?" Foran asked in shock.

"Yes, the royal Diwan still regards me as the heiress of the throne," said Zina in a serious voice.

(What? How is this possible? The Third Princess has lost all her power and supporters. How could the royal Diwan still considers her worthy of the position of the throne heiress) Alexander thought with a complicated expression, finding it hard to believe Zina's words.

The Royal Diwan is a rare and sophisticated magic tool that has been guarded by the royal family for thousands of years, its function is very simple, but it is also very important. This tool, using its association with the fate law, it selects the next heiress to the throne to eventually became the queen of the kingdom

And it takes two steps to choose the next candidate to take the throne,

First, he selects worthy candidates to compete for the throne at birth. Not every female born to the queen can participate in the war of succession. If the Diwan does not consider them worthy enough, it simply will not acknowledge them.

And in the second step, he chooses the best one of the candidates as a direct heiress to the throne, but at this step the decision is not final, as the heiress always changes constantly, for example, if another Princess becomes stronger and better than the current heiress, then the Diwan will change the beneficiary according to that.

The decisions of the Royal Diwan are very important, and even the royal family must respect them. All the citizens of the Kingdom believe and trust the decisions of the Diwan. In other words, if the Diwan refuses to recognize one of the princesses worthy of the throne, no one can change that, so if what Zina says is true, then this means that the third princess, despite her weakness, will stay the direct heiress to the throne of the kingdom, and the first princess must step down from the position as soon as possible.

"Third Princess, you have lost all your power. It is impossible for the royal Diwan to recognize you as heiress to the throne in your current condition. Are you trying to deceive us?" the head of the Lionar Court said in a cold voice.

"First Princess, is what the Third Princess said true?" Foran asked in a deep voice, looking at Noelle

"…" Fray, Hajar, Asiya, Alexander, the princesses, and even the knights standing behind them all looked at Noelle with different expressions, waiting to hear her answer.

"No, of course, that's not true," Noelle said with a nervous expression before angrily turning in Zina's direction, "Zina, it looks like you only came here to cause trouble. Leave now, and we'll discuss this matter with the Queen after the dinner is over."

"No, I won't leave until I get my position back," said Zina in a firm voice as she leaned back on the seat.

"Then you left me no choice, Reyo takes her out," Noelle said in a cold voice, looking at Zina.

The knight who was standing behind Noelle who was already facing a lot of difficulties controlling his anger because of Zina's accusation, after hearing Noelle's command, stepped forward with a fierce expression on his face and charged in Zina's direction.

The guests present, not knowing who was wrong in this case, decided to just watch for now and not interfere, with the intention of investigating this matter in more detail after this dinner was over.

(Damn it, he's coming, was that enough to prove myself, is he going to intervene now?) Zina thought with a questioning expression looking with the side of her eye at Fray who was looking at her back with an emotionless expression, while the angry knight who was quickly approaching

(it seems that this isn't enough to convince him) Zina thought, before looking at the knight approaching her with a cold look on her face.

The knight, after seeing the arrogant look on Zina's face, became even more furious, which made him quickly push his giant hand in the direction of Zina's hand in an attempt to make her stand up forcefully, but before he could reach Zina's hand, he suddenly felt a threat approaching him quickly, which made his hair stand in terror, only in a fraction of a second, in the side of his eyes, he could see a medium-sized body next to him, the person's leg was lifted above his head, ready to attack

*Axe kick*

Doof

crack

The still unknown person lowered his leg very quickly causing a loud cracking sound that spread throughout the hall.

Because of the speed of what happened, the knight didn't realize exactly what happened until an indescribable pain started attacking him,

"Ahhhhhhh..." The knight shouted painfully, as he looked at his hand, which was twisted down at an odd angle

"..." All the guests opened their eyes in shock as they looked at the massive knight who knelt on the ground holding his hand as he shouted mightily and the black-haired young woman with a fierce expression and muscular legs protruding from under her iron armor standing next to him

"…" Zina.

(She's...the Parada family knight... how can she be that strong?) thought the knight Reyo, kneeling on his knees as he raised his head to look at the black-haired young woman with shocked eyes as he tried hard to hold his pain screams.
