History books say that the wise and powerful Sterling IX has always been considerate of the people's sentiments. From then on, he went deep into the shantytowns where common people lived in the royal capital to conduct social surveys. He was very familiar with the sufferings and social ills of the people, and he was very interested in the greedy wealth-seeking territories that were attached to the kingdom. The aristocracy and bureaucracy hated it. When he grew up to sixteen years old, his father ordered him to be sent to a noble academy to attend school.
During the four years in the Noble Academy, Prince Kargat eagerly learned all kinds of knowledge, absorbed the valuable governance experience of his predecessors, and developed excellent superhuman insights. He never attended the extravagant banquets and banquets held by the boring aristocratic children. prom.
Sterling IX later said that his four years at the Noble Academy gave him a deep understanding of the difficulties and crises facing the kingdom, which showed that the kingdom must make changes in order to be saved. It's just that he was still young at that time, and although he had this desire, he didn't know how to proceed.
So Prince Kargat decided to travel around the continent of Farea to see what the situation was like in other kingdoms.
It took another four years for Prince Kargat to travel almost throughout the entire Farea continent, meeting many knowledgeable people and becoming confidants and friends, just like Rausi, who was later called the Iron-Blooded Prime Minister after he came to power. The Duke of Terry Dickens, the invincible commander-in-chief Duncan Duncan, the iron-faced officer Marquis Fertigalmo Fox, the shrewd and capable financial controller Count Gaskell Jiferman, etc., it is these people who formed the group that was later known as The solid foundation for the Kingdom’s golden thirty years of development.
Prince Kargat, who returned to the kingdom, met with his father, King Stirling VIII, and made a request for comprehensive reform of the kingdom. However, the sick Sterling VIII had no interest in this. He gave Prince Kargat the task of monitoring the garrison forces in various parts of the kingdom and sent him away from the palace.
Prince Kargat was not discouraged after his defeat. He traveled around the kingdom non-stop, rectifying the garrison forces in various regions, severely punishing illegal and corrupt criminals, and promoting his plan of reform and national salvation. He won great popularity among the freedmen and merchants, and laid the foundation for his final victory after the civil war broke out in the kingdom.
However, Prince Kargat, who returned to the royal capital two years later, had no chance to return to his father because King Sterling VIII died. Next, Princess Ilynia and Prince Ernest began to fight hard for the throne.
Prince Kargat knew that he had a low status and would not have a chance to rise to power, and the territorial nobles and bureaucrats in the royal capital would not elect an illegitimate son to become their king. Therefore, Prince Kalgat could only try his best to persuade Princess Ilinia and Prince Ernest to make peace, hoping that they could put national affairs first and cooperate to face the crisis.
Princess Ilinia and Prince Ernest are tired of persuading each other. Although you are also a prince in name, our younger brother, you don’t want to think about your background. Are you qualified to interfere with our affairs? So I found a reason to send him out of the capital, so that he wouldn't be bothered by hanging around in front of them anymore.
As soon as Prince Kargat left the royal capital, it was like a dragon returning to the sea. Laucitrine Dickens, who was still a wandering playboy at that time, heard the news and rode his horse overnight to flee. It was that night that the prince and the future prime minister of the kingdom held a candlelight conversation and made up their minds to revive the kingdom and seize the throne.
It's just that Prince Kargat didn't expect that what he did would arouse such great vigilance and taboo from Princess Ilinia and Prince Ernest, and the stupid baron of White Deer Town happily led his private armed forces. His camp was prepared to carry out the orders sent by the royal capital, which forced Prince Kargat, who was not fully ready to build an armed force to seize the throne, to fire the first shot of resistance.
The next step was to capture White Deer Town and organize the musket garrison, and the civil war in the Kingdom of Overas broke out. At first, Princess Ilinia and Prince Ernest had a falling out and started fighting in the royal capital. Prince Kargat took his newly established armed forces to sweep away the feudal nobles in various places and arrested those who were in the royal capital. Local officials working for both parties.
Soon Princess Ilinia and Prince Ernest, under the pressure of their respective supporters, territorial nobles and officials, shook hands and made peace, and combined their military forces to deal with the growing armed forces of Prince Kalgat first. During that time, Prince Kargat suffered several defeats and had to retreat to the three southwest counties.
