In the second day of Jia, many members of parliament and ministers who were usually sick participated in the court meeting for two days. The purpose was nothing else, but it was about Victor's acquisition of inheritance.

"Aren't you going to discuss whether Victor has the right to inherit? Why did he stop saying a word when he arrived at the court?" Sitting upright at the throne of the emperor, Alberrecht looked down at the ministers with a expressionless face. Seeing that his face was not good, no one dared to touch him.

"Speak, I'm mute?"

After asking again, no one dared to speak out. Alberrecht couldn't help but sneer.

"Since I'm not dead yet, I don't have to worry about whoever inherits the throne." What really made Alberrecht unhappy was the minister's Yueju. The right to inherit the throne has always been an internal decision by the royal family. Especially when he has great power, he doesn't like the ministers to get involved.

In fact, the reason why ministers and nobles value this matter so much is that they are worried about wielding the wrong treasure.

Although the first heir Perel is the eldest son of the legitimate birth, he has been neglected by Emperor Bret because his mother is not favored. In addition, his biological mother is from Tidis, which makes the powerful and wealthy who know the inside story even more optimistic about his chance of succession.

Although the second heir, Muta, was a concubine, but Breijiang's favorite offspring. Before the emperor abdicated, almost everyone thought that the next emperor would be him. After all, there was an emperor that was not a legitimate one in history.

The third heir, Lucien, was born in Muta, who was born in all over the country in terms of identity. The identity of the Paladin of the Church made him more prestige between the people and the nobles than the other two princes, but it was this relationship that made him at a disadvantage, so his support was still not as good as Muta.

Originally, everyone thought that Muta would win the battle for the throne, but Alberrecht's comeback disrupted everything. All the powerful and powerful who had joined Muta's camp regretted it. Muta, who had no political talent, was much inferior to Alberrecht. In the following emperors of Notting, except for the founding monarch Vien, no one could surpass him in reputation and ability.

Nowadays, history is always surprisingly similar. The undead mages who entered the Alberrecht magic advisory group as the illegitimate son of Taranda, not only have their rankings rising, but have now obtained the right to inherit. This is simply a replica of Brett's favored Muta.

Speaking of inheritance, the ministers all knew that the Holy Empire originated from the church, and the church had a close relationship with the cherry clan. One of the conditions for obtaining the Vien Code, the most powerful military symbol of the empire, was that the bloodline must be pure enough. This so-called "subject is not royal blood, but the bloodline of the cherry. Although the detailed inside story is not clear, the ministers all believed that the Vien Code should be one of the many sacred objects created by the cherry, so it must be inherited by those with cherry bloodline.

The hymn lineage of Victor, the consultant of the Sea, was made public seven years ago, because he had the hymn lineage called "descendants of God". The voices against Alberrecht's insistence on using the undead as the consultant were reduced a lot, and the sudden changes in the situation were even rare. People were worried that Alberrecht, who had always liked to break the rules, would really set up a hymn as the new emperor.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have issued an edict to let the four heirs return to Glow City to attend your 100th birthday?" Even if the prime minister Brent, who is the officials, has to ask, even if he is reluctant.

"Brett has abdicated for eight years and the throne cannot be left empty all the time. It's time to choose a suitable successor."

Alberecchi's answer made the ministers look at him, and they couldn't guess the truth of his words. They originally thought he wanted to restore his position, but judging from the current situation, they seemed to have no plans to become the emperor.

After the resignation of the court

"I don't have any optimism about Victor. Don't forget that he is the undead, the undead! Notting's strength is based on the first county in the camp. Without the support of the church, Notting will sooner or later be suppressed by other kingdoms." Earl Will has a low position, but is one of the few nobles who survived all coups. He insisted that the Supreme Emperor would be restored, and the current changes are just a trick.

"Don't forget that there has been no rescinded emperor in Notting's history." Brent held the opposite view, believing that Alberrecht's adviser was very likely to become Notting's future ruler.

"Is there any record that has been broken? Which emperor can do as much as he is? He will kill his father and brother for the sake of imperial power." It is because he knows that Alberrecht's disgraceful past. Will does not support any prince.

"You have said that Victor is the dead. Since he is the dead, he is naturally cold-blooded and ruthless. His cruelty is no less than His Majesty, and it can even be said to be even more extreme. His Majesty still has public opinion and the concerns of the church, but Victor completely ignores it. Looking at what he has done over the years, with His Majesty's support, he is even more unscrupulous. Compared to the other three, I think his winning rate is higher."

"Born, don't forget his origin! Let's not care about his illegitimate child's identity. Even if he has the blood of a hymn, it will be difficult for him to pass the vote of the parliament if he is not a direct royal family."

Brent laughed dryly: "Will, haven't you seen Your Majesty's statement in the court today? In addition, yesterday, Your Majesty has repeated it twice and he is not dead yet. Have you forgotten his style? Your Majesty never repeats his words more than three times. And the mortal scripture he wants to express is very clear. Dan says who is the new emperor of his right, and the power is firmly marked in his middle of the year. It is precisely because of this that I think Victor will take office. Although Your Majesty likes to control the situation, he hates stupid people the most. Muta and Prince Perel have violated his taboos and there are not many opportunities. Look, they have married for so many years and have not given birth to heirs. Isn't it an obvious answer? Lucien, who has been designated as the next successor by the Pope, can basically be ruled out. I believe that your and I have the same idea as your opinion. The rule of the church and the empire will never be concentrated in the hands of one person."

After listening to Brent's long analysis, Will fell silent. It was not that he didn't know these things, but that he always believed that no matter how extraordinary Alberrecht was, he would not really choose a dead soul as the new emperor of the Holy Empire.

"I told you two not to argue, we have nothing to do with you anyway, right? No matter how the situation in the country changes, we just need to adhere to our usual rules. Whoever will be the new emperor?" Another Lent: "It will be known on the day of His Majesty's 100th birthday. No one can tell if there will be new variables at that time."

Brent's words were already at his mouth and choked in his throat because of these last two sentences.

Yes, Your Majesty’s character is difficult to figure out at first, and it is too early to draw a conclusion now. Let’s wait and see.

In the next few days, no one dared to mention the topic of inheritance to Alberrecht. They all knew the character of Notting's real power ruler. The final result of repeatedly entangling topics he didn't like would be that he would be bad.

The convenient magical messaging informed Alberrecht's oral order to the four heirs as quickly as possible. Victor's acting governor rushed to the City of Glow in a few days.

The Emperor** gave it much faster than the church with airships. The high-purity magic crystals have improved their qualitativeness, and they almost arrived with Lucien, who was in Precia.

"Victor, why are you here too?" Lucien learned from Klein that Victor was appointed as interim governor and saw his half-brother who should have stayed in Hydein, and suddenly felt a bad thing.

feel.

Could it be that my grandfather asked him to come back? Although the 100th birthday is a national celebration, my grandfather hates many people, and birthday parties should only be limited to the royal family, even as a consultant, he should not be among the invitation.

"It seems you don't know yet." Victor is not difficult to guess his doubts from Lucien's slightly surprised expression: "The eldest prince Perel and the second prince Muta have also rushed back to Glow City from their respective residents."

"I guessed this, since it's a family dinner." Lu Xien suddenly stopped halfway.

Family dinner, yes, since it is a family dinner, why did Victor come? Without the order of his grandfather, he could not leave Hydein without his vassal before the official governor took over. Isn't that saying "

Looking back, Lu Xien opened his mouth and finally didn't speak.

When his grandfather admitted Victor's right to inheritance, did he really want to use mutual killing to remove the descendants who blocked his way to reset? When Lucien was born, Alberrecht had abdicated and had not experienced the bloodiest period of his reign. Unlike the history known from his father and folklore, this time, he knew that he was about to experience the cold-blooded and ruthless side of the Iron Blood Emperor.

"You are a little too disobedient, Lucien." Victor's slow voice pulled Lucien back from his brief absentia: "Sooner or later this day will come. From the mystery you decided to accept Fernandez's arrangement, you are destined to face such a possibility. I am afraid now, is it too late?"

"I don't regret it, it's just," Lu Xien smiled bitterly. How could he regret it at this time? He just felt a little bit of indescribable bitterness. If it were an ordinary family, how could his grandfather do such a cruel thing to his grandson. The darkness in the royal family looked unlimited on the surface, but it was unknown to the world. If possible, he really hoped that he was a civilian.

Lucien, who had already walked a few steps away, suddenly stopped and looked sideways at Victor, who had not moved his pace.

"Why did you choose this path? Since you have been transformed into an undead, power is no longer a necessary process to pursue the ultimate spell." Lucien became more and more strange the more he thought. With Victor's personality, he should hide in the wilderness and concentrate on studying spells, but he insisted on participating in dangerous political affairs. With his ability, he could obtain a large amount of rare materials and books needed for research without relying on his father. Why did he put himself in danger?

"Because this is the fastest way." Victor was silent for a moment before answering.

"Even if it's possible to fall off a cliff at any time?"

"Haha" There is no road to dreams in this world that is a stable and prosperous road. The harder the process of climbing and moving forward, the happier it is when picking the fruits of victory."
