Chapter 792: Chapter 792: Awesome, my brother! 3_1 Chapter 792: Chapter 792: Awesome, my brother! 3_1 Xia Ye Zhao looked down and observed his younger sister clinging onto his arm. The unexpected intimacy seemed to startle him. He reached out and affectionately patted the back of her hand twice, “You need to seriously learn how to govern a country even if you don’t like it. Show people your ambition. If you’re unable to prove yourself, you can visit the sick in hospitals, care for students in schools, and console soldiers in the military. Make sure that you also show love and care to the people, like a mother to her children, making sure they know that you would make a good queen, understand?”
“What should I do, brother? I feel like you’re always right. Once I’ve done all this, then what? How do I get out of living in this undersea world for a lifetime?” This was Ye Xingguang’s foremost concern.
Xia Ye Zhao looked down at his seemingly ambitionless sister, “Consider the constitutional monarchies on land, like Y country, K country, Q country. The royal family is the highest symbol of status in these countries. They’re hereditary, and even though real power has been transferred to the cabinet, and the prime ministers are elected by the citizens, the royal family possesses absolute privileges. As an ambitionless queen, you need to represent the best of an entire nation, holding countless privileges without needing to govern, allowing the nation to offer you sustenance for generations, and ultimately, becoming a spiritual pillar of the nation.”
“When the time comes, if you don’t want to live underwater, you can return to live on the earth. Yet, you remain the absolute reigning queen of the undersea empire. If your husband’s family treats you poorly, you can leave immediately. Do you think Ye Junqing dare treat you disrespectfully? Having this background gives you strong confidence; you can literally throw your weight around anywhere, you understand?”
Ye Xingguang listened closely, nodding heavily. She considered the governance of the constitutional monarchies on land, and then it clicked. Many countries have royal families without real power, yet these families remain spiritual pillars. Members of these royal families, wherever they go, are adored as the highest leaders by the public. That was the kind of queen she wanted to become.
She did not need to do substantial work, but could still be the spiritual pillar of the imperial citizens. She could be seen as the supreme Sea Goddess in the minds of the imperial citizens, who would care for her and provide her with many privileges. This was simply perfect!
Before this, she only needed to keep her chin up, negotiate with the federal interim government in the future and demand her rights, ultimately achieving her goals.
After all, she did not believe that the six upper-class families would truly hand over the power of the nation to her. She presumed that these families had tasted the sweetness of the federal government long ago and planned to jointly govern the nation. Well, let them, she thought. Why should she fight for underwater authority?
Once Ye Xingguang had figured it all out, she became spirited, nodding heavily, resting her head on Xia Ye Zhao’s shoulder, “Brother, I understand. I know what to do. Thank you, brother.”
In this world, probably only her own brother would consider her so thoroughly and think so far ahead for her.
Thinking of how his little sister had once been overlooked as an heir to the throne in this nation, thrown into palace disputes at a young age, Xia Ye Zhao felt a surge of guilt.
In the past, not knowing about her experiences and circumstances, he hadn’t been able to fulfill a brother’s duties. In the future, how could he ever let her be bullied here again? She didn’t suffer her childhood grievances for nothing. If she has endured everything as an heir to the throne, then, he would fight for her to have the greatest rights of an heir!
