Became a Strategist with a 100 Intelligence and 100% Accuracy

A few days later.

Those who had attempted to stage a rebellion, claiming to be Sidmid's rightful heirs, began to be arrested one by one. The soldiers discovered the location where the rebels had made contact, and in the process, countless plans, including the specifics of the uprising and an assassination plot against Serpina, were revealed.

How they had come upon this evidence was unclear, but for Serpina, it was nothing short of divine luck.

Divine luck!

It could only be explained with that word—it was so close to a sheer coincidence that it couldn't have been anything else.@@novelbin@@

Once the trail was found, the 'subversive elements' were easily captured, as if they were potatoes pulled up from the earth.

It wasn't just a few. Dozens were bound and dragged to Eingart Castle. All of them were armed men who had once enjoyed the favor of Serpina's army. From those who had barely stood out to those who had performed their duties well, they were all included.

Among them was the most significant figure, Rahelven Yenichika, a man once recommended to take the position of Lord of Kelstein Castle. He was the one who had taught Serpina the basics of royal etiquette when she was still a young girl. Originally a follower of Sidmid von Eingart, he was known to have completely pledged his loyalty to Serpina.

His unwavering loyalty, revealed in the smallest actions, made it clear that he was now completely devoted to Serpina.

Serpina thought so too. So when she stood here, despite having witnessed countless unpleasant things, she couldn't help but feel surprised.

So it was. Her second brother's ghost still wandered the continent.

Although Serpina had become widely known as a tyrant due to her past large-scale purges, she was surprisingly lenient in some respects. She showed mercy to those who followed her and allowed those with talent to rise based on their ability, without regard for their lineage or past.

However, there was one thing Serpina would never forgive—treason. During the conquest of the northern continent, there had been countless rebellions, and all the rebels had met their end at the gallows.

Even now, there was no difference. She could not show mercy to those who challenged her authority. That was the fate of those who inherited the bloodline of the great Eingart Empire.
