The story begins with the legendary history of the Lombardi family, who were so powerful that they helped to crown the first emperor. The history of the Empire has been permanently altered by their wealth and cultural accomplishments, placing Lombardi at the top of the social hierarchy.
However, ultimately, the royal residence was threatened by this wealth and notoriety. The pivotal moment comes when Rulak Lombardi takes over as the family’s head, leading the royal authorities to react by issuing the Royal Gate Edict.
This decree is an attempt to limit the family’s operations and possibly lessen their perceived danger to the current power system. In reaction to this limitation, Rulak adopts a calculated danger by creating a scholarship that ignores socioeconomic boundaries and selects candidates only on the basis of their qualifications.
Regardless of their social standing, the recipients of Lombardi’s sponsorship go on to play significant roles throughout the Empire, demonstrating the family’s dedication to seeing potential beyond social bounds.
The royal order is reversed as a result of these people’s surprising achievements, demonstrating the family’s lasting power and the unexpected results of trying to limit their potential.
Young audiences have found the plot to be captivating due to the complex interaction of power, culture, and individual worth. To emphasize the complex storytelling that adds to the manhwa’s broad appeal, the introduction invites readers to go deeper into the story’s subtle details and interesting turns.
Recap
In Chapter 137 of “I’ll Be The Matriarch In This Life,” the Empress grapples with a pressing issue regarding the scarcity of forests, a valuable resource that seems to be predominantly held by Ivan’s family.
The Empress’s concern deepens as she recognizes that no other family possesses a comparable abundance of forests, emphasizing the unique and critical nature of this resource within the narrative.
To address this challenge, the Empress contemplates a strategic solution: exploring neighboring territories to identify potential alternative sources of forests.
Because the Empress wants to find a way to address the scarcity problem outside of her family’s domains, it makes sense that soldiers are knocking on doors in neighboring territories.
This adds a level of foreign investigation and diplomacy, leading to possible alliances or agreements with other regions that have the needed resources.
The Empress’s declaration of her steadfast resolve to plant more trees and her emphasis on the project’s critical value highlight the seriousness of the issue.
A reference to the huge holdings of the Ivan Family acts as a control, emphasizing how difficult it was for the Empress to come up with a comparable replacement. And to add a further level of detail to her plan, the Empress has instructed that the availability of Triba trees be looked into.
This particularity suggests an in-depth examination of the kinds of trees that might help achieve the intended increase in wooded areas. Using Triba trees indicates that a specific species has been purposefully emphasized, perhaps because of its special qualities or advantages that fit the context of the narrative.
Readers and fans can expect to find out more about why Triba Trees and how Triba Trees are produced in the upcoming few chapters. A few more new characters are also to be introduced soon!
