Chapter 1425

The weight of the situation was immense, and for a moment, Carissa's mind seemed incapable of processing it all.

If Salvador were to pass, Connor's ascension to the throne would be nearly certain, and it wouldn't be long before he was declared Crown Prince. A young king would need regents, and not just one, which would lead to factions forming within the court.

In that case, the balance of power would inevitably be thrown into turmoil.

If regents weren't appointed, it was likely that either Victoria or Kylie would take charge and rule behind the scenes.

Kylie was ambitious, and even in her confinement, she was plotting for Connor's future. The Quinton family, though suppressed by Salvador, held vast power. If Salvador were to die and Connor took the throne, their influence would soar.

Who wouldn't want that kind of power?

Jeremiah was aging, and though he had already entertained thoughts of stepping down, he was still willing to support the new king. But once the power struggle began, there would be little he could do to control the situation.

However, that was a worry for later.
