Chapter 363 The Throne

Philosophers have long said that there are two elements that make up a king: bloodline and achievement.

If we look back three years, then the nobles and ministers present may not have much objection. It can even be said that everyone knows who they should support. Because as we all know, the reason why Princess Luvia ascended the throne as a young child was entirely because the previous king died in the battlefield and the crown prince lost the enemy (everyone thought he was dead). Besides the remaining few heirs, she is already the oldest and has the most full inheritance rights.

Strictly speaking, the little queen is not a good choice now, but it is already the only choice. Therefore, although many people think that Byron has selfish intentions in this matter (as mentioned earlier, Byron is the leader who supports the little queen), and wants to legally usurp the throne, they cannot object.

At any point three years ago, this former crown prince, who was believed to have died in the battlefield for a long time, and the current queen's legitimate brother, Prince Boer, could only abdicate if he could return to the city of Hawks. Because according to his bloodline, gender, age, or the priority of inheritance, he was above the little girl.

If that is the case, the change of ownership of the throne must be carried out in a harmonious manner. The winner knows that he will definitely win, so he does not have to be afraid of the opponent's resistance, let alone make a decision in the future. The loser also knows that he will definitely fail, so she will not think of any rebellion.

But now, the situation is different.

Because the little girl now has more than just her bloodline, but also has real achievements.

In this world's human society, the theory of bloodline has never been a rare thing. The theory of bloodline has never become a unified and undisputed theory. One of the reasons is that even if you stand in the noblest bloodline, that is, the position of the royal family, this throne is not something that has existed for generations.

An obvious example is: Groney's royal family, the Markremiz family, was only a hundred years old. King Markremiz, who established the country a hundred years ago, had nothing to boast about his bloodline. To be honest, he was a country king who was almost the same as the one who was actually named Count today. His founding of the country had nothing to do with his bloodline, but he relied on his actual achievements. He conquered the original forces on this land by strategy and force and became the past.

No one can deny the achievements of the little queen now. Whether it is the re-establishment of the palace, the suppression of Byron's rebellion, the rectification of domestic order, or even the defeat of the invading Chaos Legion and the restoration of lost land, it is a very important thing to be written, and no one can question or refute. Especially the fact that the White Fort was just recaptured and the shame of the death of the previous king ten years ago was definitely a political achievement supported by the people.

And everyone knows that with the regaining of White Fort, this country has now solved its greatest foreign troubles and is about to - and will - rise again among the nations. He is no longer a target that is coveted, but it is beginning to covet other people's turn.

You can't say that it was Ashu Rufate who defeated the Chaos Legion and regained the White Castle, so this score has nothing to do with her. Because the score of her subordinates is the score of the king.

In addition, she has another advantage, that is, she is now a real queen, a queen who has been officially crowned and recognized and sworn allegiance to everyone. Prince Boer is still just a prince - although he is the crown prince, everyone in the past thought that he was dead.

But unfortunately, the previous king was killed and the crown prince fell, which was only ten years away. In particular, the queen on the throne is actually underage. This is a very sensitive and embarrassing time point.

If three years in the morning, the little queen will inevitably abdicate. If it is three years late (that is, the little queen will become an adult at the age of fifteen), Prince Boer will have to retain the title of prince and live in his old age.

But now, the power of both sides is in a balanced period. The little queen has practical achievements to prove her ability, while Prince Boer has the advantage of inheritance. The little queen has trusted generals in the army (of course, they happen to be unable to control Prince Boer), while in the palace, conservative ministers account for the vast majority (they only supported the little girl without any choice).

This is not a simple choice. This team determines many things, or it can be said to be directly related to the fate of everyone here. Politics is very ruthless, and all blood ties and family affection will not become a bond. For most ministers here, no matter which choice they tend to choose, they themselves have to consider what consequences will lead to mistakes in teaming.

"Sir Scaldra," someone asked unwillingly. Many people knew that Scaldra was very fond of the little queen, just like a grandfather treating his granddaughter. "What do you think about this?"

"I am loyal to the Mark Remiz family," Scadra replied.

This sentence has expressed his attitude in the clearest way.

...

There is nothing to mention about the offensive and defensive battles in White Fort.

Because the White Fort is just like the previous city of Niustria, it is completely an empty city. Not to mention defending the city, it is not enough to stand on the city wall ten steps.

Even the Chaos Warriors were unwilling to accept such a hopeless battle. When they saw the enemy's army arrive from afar, they lose their fighting spirit. The officers of them took the lead, and everyone gave up their duty to defend the city and withdrew.

The fierce, epic battle that many people expected did not happen at all, and the city fell back to the hands of the Groones intact.

Of course, it is inappropriate to say that it is "intact and undamaged". In any case, the city was occupied by chaos for a full ten years and naturally changed a lot of things. As mentioned earlier, this white fort is actually not only a fortress, but also a city, where a considerable number of civilians were originally inhabited. In addition to military camps, there are also civilian areas and commercial areas. In addition, there are also some religious buildings here.

However, after recapturing the White Fort, people found that there were no one in the city. I believe that those unfortunate people have been abducted or killed. The original civilian area in the city has become a...it is hard to tell what it is for. There are sacrificial sites and traces of sacrificial activities everywhere. The original temple is even more important, and it has become a complete altar of evil gods. The entire building is not only transformed outside, but also painted with various blasphemy symbols everywhere inside, but the center position has become a blood pool. I don’t know how many victims were killed here to sacrifice to the blood god.

The fishy smell in the entire building was so indescribable that everyone agreed that the remnants of blasphemy left by these evil gods must be completely eliminated in the White Castle.

This task was accepted by Belar. Because among all, except Asu Ruffat, only Belar had political experience - he had served as the governor of Mir City, and he was also well-versed in some architectural knowledge. Since the war was actually only left with the final work, it is no longer suitable for Belar, who was a reinforcement.

However, although the war has ended, it is still a troublesome task to search and wipe out the remaining Chaos Legion within a large range. Therefore, Beral has now become the actual controller of White Fort.

It was in this case that he found a person who should have died from the bottom of the prison in White Fort.

Like all those smart people, Beral immediately understood that this was an opportunity.

At this time, it was morning. Beller sat on the height of the castle in the center of White Fort, drinking wine while looking at the city beneath his feet.

The legendary White Fort condensed the hard work of Garunas, which is by no means a rumor. Only after you have a comprehensive understanding of the entire fortress can you understand how...exaggerated this castle is. From any perspective, it is a very difficult city to capture.

As long as there are enough defenders in the castle, or there are no traitors who directly open the city gate and surrender to the enemy.

But in addition to being a solid fortress, it is also a beautiful and exquisite city. With human architectural craftsmanship, the two are usually difficult to combine. But here, these two elements are perfectly integrated.

While he appreciated the artistic beauty, the door was opened. Robin walked in.

"General." Robin closed the door with his backhand. "I sent the prince away."

"Oh, very good."

"But, Lord General, why... do you...?" Robin asked.

"Ah, Robin, what are you referring to."

"Prince's affairs. In my opinion, the prince now has no chance at all." Robin said. "What benefits can you get by hiding this news? In my opinion, if you tell Ash Rufate or the little queen this news, you can get some personal favors."

"Who told you that Prince Boer has no chance?" Berel smiled slightly, and took a sip of the red wine.

"Sir, I admit that the old people in the palace will support the prince, but you must know... Ashu Rufate now controls the entire country's army!" Robin stressed. "Do you think there is a chance unless he turns against him?"

"Ah, that's another thing." Berel said softly. "It's like... you're playing a chess game. You play very well, every step is a skillful move, and you're not making any mistakes. At this time, someone came over to tell you that you made a mistake..." He deliberately paused, "Because this is working hours, you have work to do, and you shouldn't play chess at all."

Robin thought for a while, but had no answer for a long time. So Beller continued directly. "This chess player is our cute little queen."

"I... don't quite understand..."

"Prince Boer has much more supporters than you would expect," Belle explained. "Because in order to get rid of Byron's shadow, our Queen consciously chose conservatives as much as possible when choosing subordinates. As for the army... the army can be regarded as a whole, but can also be regarded as a group of soldiers. For example, this time the coalition forces." Belle said. "When the king and the queen compete for the throne, they are not a solid piece of solid piece. Even Asu Ruffatt cannot change this."
