The latest chapter took a dive into the complex political ecosystem in the Empire and also about the succession war that will break out sooner rather than later. The religious lunatics are now somehow trying to establish a holy Empire because of their own weird, cultish mindset.
Prince Carlisle was said to have been born with God’s blessing, so it would make sense if the Priests were supporting him. However, Carlisle is nowhere close to being a good religious man, so of course, the priests want to take him down. For their own personal vision, they are ready to support Prince Matias.
Cecile Dupret is also involved with Prince Carlisle and Pervaz now because of some weird delusion about her becoming an Empress. It would be fair to assume that Cecile might become an antagonist in the future, but we are hoping that does not happen.
Cecile also has her own circumstances, and she wants to prove herself by gaining power and authority. What position would be better for her other than that of an Empress? That is her ultimate goal. She wants to marry Carlisle, become the Crown Princess, make sure Carlisle takes the throne, and become the Empress in the end.
City of Arrogance is a new romantic fantasy manhwa, but the concept has been really refreshing so far. The story has a lot of politics and warfare involved in it. To make things even better, the female lead of the story is an actual talented Knight, and the male lead has an interesting personality as well.
I guess we all were getting tired of the same old tropes over and over again. The female lead, in particular, is strong and motivated, and we can see it just adds more to her charm. In this article, we will be talking about the release date of City of Arrogance Chapter 16, recap the previous chapter, and tell our readers where they can read it.
City of Arrogance: Chapter 15 Recap
In the previous chapter of City of Arrogance, Asha goes to meet Carlisle, thinking that he had summoned her because of an important issue. Sadly enough, Carlisle really just looked like he wanted to spend some time with Asha for things other than work.
We all felt a little sad but excited for Carlisle because Asha looked thoroughly shocked and a little unenthusiastic. The two go and tour the palace, and Carlisle is a little taken aback by how desolate it looks. Well, Asha and the Pervaz family had their own circumstances, and the Pervaz territory is not exactly safe either.
Asha explains that the people there took anything they could and used it as firewood because of a fire that wiped out the trees nearby. Plus, they were not exactly in a position to spend a lot of money. It is a little sad thinking about how much the Pervaz family had gone through and given to the Empire.
The lack of portraits was also a little concerning, but as Asha explained, the territory is unsafe, so why would artists risk their lives to come there? Carlisle was firm when he said he wanted a family portrait to be made, and he wanted to keep it for himself as well.
Meanwhile, the priests were having their own secret meeting, and they were very vocal about how much they disliked Carlisle. They expected the Prince to be some sort of religious poster boy because of his blessings, but he was an atheist debauch in their eyes.
They all schemed to bring down Carlisle’s reputation and crown Matias as the successor to bring their ideal holy Empire to life. The high priest Owen was an abused kid who found solace in the temple. He was a cultist enough to believe that the only way they could help the Empire was to make a utopian, holy empire.
