Byron, hiding in a corner with his sister, witnessed everything and thought to himself:
Logically speaking, a founding monarch would operate on the principle of 'ruling the world with the heroes before seizing the throne,' and after snatching the kingship, swing back with a 'purge of nine generations' as a basic maneuver. Unfortunately, Edward IV simply couldn't do that. That's the main reason I won't take shortcuts, like seeking military aid from that maternal grand-uncle in the Irisflower Kingdom, and instead must wait for the main Fleet of Heavy Cruisers to launch before facing the White Rose head-on. 'Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun' is indeed an eternal truth. In this world, those with strong armies claim kingship; one good punch can prevent a hundred from coming. Only if the war of founding the nation is fought splendidly will the kingship be justly earned, the throne firmly held, and many small post-establishment skirmishes avoided from the start.
