Chapter 364: A Political Marriage That Seems to Have Failed
Politics is an interesting game that seems complicated and cumbersome, but in the final analysis, it is a game of comparing size and fruit.
Put forward your own will/political propositions/factions, and under this banner, unite as many individuals, forces, and organizations as possible to form your own faction.
Then compete with other factions, fight for as many interests as possible, distribute interests internally, reorganize, and wait for the next chance to compete....... this is the final cycle of all political actions, everything is still for profit.
But many things are simple in principle, and difficult in operation.
In order to obtain the most benefits possible, betrayal, fraud, and lies are rife with it, and the basic principle of uniting as many forces as possible is difficult to achieve.
As a virtuous princess, Saviara is qualified, but as a politician, she doesn't even pass the entrance exam.
She has the will to realize it, but she has not imagined at all how many people's fundamental interests will be touched, how many people's cakes will be moved, and how many people's mortal enemies will be made....... she has not even won the support of as many forces as possible, and she has not formed her own political circle.
But she still succeeded, she successfully traded her country's artifact for Orlan's artifact, and this act itself was not because of how convincing or prestigious she was, but .......because she had a good father.
The contemporary Bayer King Powell himself is not a famous king, and he is known at home and abroad for being good at and good at the mud, but he can stand out from the Bayer royal family, which has always had many children and grandchildren, and the Bayer has been operating steadily for decades, how can it really be just a parallel import.
It's just that when the domestic situation is cold, he really doesn't need to do anything.
However, if Saviara wants to exchange the national treasure for the national treasure of another family, and then invest state-level funds and strength to build a development zone under the sea, this is inevitably a national strategy, and it must be nodded and fully supported by the king.
As a powerful king, he doesn't know how many of his henchmen inside and outside the court, of course he knows how much weight his son and daughter have, and who will be the most suitable next King Baier.
Of course, he will not take a stand, not only will he not take a stand, but he will be more and more harsh on the candidates.
This is both a test for the candidate and a protection.
But this time, Saviara himself knew that it was the key to whether he could jump the dragon gate, and how could the old king not know the situation.
Saviara couldn't see the situation of the wolves around her, and Powell, who had been king for so many years, couldn't see it.
He already knew that many domestic forces were about to move, and he had long wanted to move Saiviara, but there were some things that could not be forcibly interfered with, and political struggles required wrists, even if they were looking for trouble, they also needed evidence.
No, this time let Saviara run in person, not only did the ones that were ready to move pop out, but also several, both at home and abroad, and there were several domestic forces supported by foreign countries, and the spies of the old king had been soft in the past few days.
In addition to this is a fishing law enforcement in itself, it is indeed a test for Saiviala, not only a political examination, but also a test of psychological quality and human nature.
".......Look, your brother wants to kill you, and your other sisters and brothers won't want to save you even if they know. If you want to ascend to the throne, you don't have any relatives. ”
If she can't understand this, then, no matter how strong her personal ability is, the position of king will still be given to someone else.
Otherwise, after the overly benevolent and naïve monarch ascended the throne, he would not be able to control the scene, and the civil war in the country after the death of the old emperor would have become a joke.
It's hard to say whether the prince who tried to assassinate Saviara was acquiesced in and enticed by the king, or how could he be so stupid....... whether the assassination succeeded or failed, he would definitely die, in the era when the old king was still in power, the best result of killing was life imprisonment or exile.
This time, it was a big gamble even for the old king, betting that Saviara could cross the threshold and go from a so-called "virtuous king" to a real king.
Among the kings who have shed great achievements in history, most of them are tyrannical and powerful, but most of them, the so-called virtuous, have not encountered troubled times, and have not encountered traitors and rebels of sufficient weight, otherwise they will accidentally become soft ears and soft hands, and finally die inexplicably, and the country has also fallen into the brink of civil strife.
Mr. Powell? His brothers and younger brothers, who have somehow fallen behind or died, also don't recognize this title.
As for the internal and external pressures after making Saviara the crown prince, in fact, this is not a difficult task for Powell, and it is enough to find her a reliable ally.
There is no such existence within Bayer, but in the vicinity of Bayer, there is a force that vaguely surpasses the super empire - the Wood Spirit Clan.
They are the backbone of the natural camp, and they are detached from the mundane and royal power, but it is undeniable that the land of their ancestors, the national capital, and the core gathering place of the Dream Forest, are indeed within the sphere of influence of Bayer, and the interaction between the two is inevitable.
And there has always been a legend that the high-level of the two are related by blood, and this statement has been circulating, and no one denies it.
Every time the king surnamed Baier ascends the throne, the first country he visits is the closest Dream Forest, and the relationship between the two sides has always been quite good, and when Bayer encounters a big trouble that he really can't solve, the Dream Forest will inevitably lend a hand.
Then, as long as Mu Ling, who has always been neutral, really stands up to support a certain royal family, no, as long as others think that Mu Ling will support that royal family, then the situation is really stable.
At least, if there is a wood spirit background, even a fool would not dare to do anything to that royal family member in the country of Bayer.
"Is it a political alliance?
But in fact, even if Powell wants to find an ally for his daughter, Mu Ling, as an ally, really doesn't need an ally.
They basically didn't have any need for Bayer, and they didn't need Bayer's support, and for the Seven Virtues of the super-immortal race at the top level of the Wood Spirit Clan, King Bayer, who changed every few decades, didn't feel anything at all.
But they don't need Bayer's support, someone does, Rochach, the brother-in-law of the Seven Virtues.
Since Rorschach is going to return to human society and go to the Northland to settle some things, then the support of the human powers will not only make his trip much smoother, but also make him much safer.
This is much more practical than any super magic armor, or along the way, the assassins who come for money, honor, and hatred will be endless.
Just Mu Ling's support is not enough, they are too detached, but they have no sense of threat to the mortal forces, even if everyone says that a certain country is powerful and technologically powerful, but they don't see him come forward to beat anyone, naturally this sense of threat stays in words.
It's like saying that no matter how powerful the United States is, for a small country in Africa, it is not as deterrent as a certain large African country, because they know that it is impossible for the United States to fight a third world effect like itself that has no resources and no wealth, and it will not even have an intersection with itself.
And the "local African superpower" next door is in the same circle as itself, and it can find a reason to beat itself.
Since Rorschach is going back to the big circle of human beings, it is inconvenient for the wood spirit of the alien race to interfere, and a superpower like a pure human like Bayer has a lot of weight.
At this time, both parties have needs, and it is natural to hit it off.
And in this day and age, is there anything more reliable than a political marriage?
My will does not exist, and since I am in such a family, there is no possibility of freedom from the beginning.
Of course, there are differences in the ideas of parents on both sides.
Originally, when Powell heard the proposal for marriage, he was angry.
"That wild boy of that family actually dares to come and gnaw on Lao Tzu's treasure! Political fake marriage? That's not okay! Not a single name is fine, no one needs to pollute my family's treasure! Even if it's nominal!"
In a sense, Daughter Control is probably a terminal illness that is incurable, if it weren't for Saviara's true reputation and extraordinary ability, this undisguised preference alone would probably cause a lot of waves.
But then I saw Rorschach's information, hesitated for a while, but smiled.
"Ha, the wood spirit half-breed, only 22 years old this year, looks less than 12 years old, came to Ash for 6 years and his appearance has not changed, his height has grown by 0.02 cm....... and when Saviara dies of old age, I don't know if this kid can grow hair, it's okay, it's just a fake marriage in name, he can't do anything he wants. Well, first get engaged to do a wedding process, and then officially put it when this kid is an adult, hey, this is really a good idea, with such a pretense, my baby daughter can never marry for the rest of her life. ”
Well, Bair's daughter, the king, agreed to the marriage.
With such a father, even if there is no Rorschach option, the probability of his daughter being orphaned is extremely high.
And for Rosa, who is one of the Seven Virtues, she also has her own little ideas.
Although she is a brother and sister, she is Rorschach's elder by any measure, and as an elderly person who looks young, it is probably inevitable that she wants to see her grandson/nephew.
And what is more of a headache than the resolute refusal of his juniors not to find a girlfriend is probably to find a "girlfriend" who is absolutely impossible to have a baby.
Ahem, don't get me wrong, Rorschach is not a sexual abnormality, nor is he a sadhane, but has found an undead girlfriend.
Maybe someone can make the impossible possible, so that the dead can have children, but obviously Rorschach doesn't have this ability, he himself is not in a hurry at all, and looking at this descendant in his early twenties, his righteous sister is really anxious.
Urging marriage or something, the means are too low-level, and most of them are useless, so it is useless to use a political marriage to make a granddaughter and grandson come true, and cook raw rice into rice.
What? Rorschach is not yet an adult? Don't know what Wood Spirit does? Wood Spirit Biotechnology, the world's first, can do anything!
Hehe, no need to repeat, in the eyes of the elders, this is not important at all, and if it is not suitable, you can leave, it is enough to make a life to hold your grandson.
Therefore, at that time, Saviara set up a flag indiscriminately, saying "Prince Rorschach came to Bayer to get married politically", not only did he say something heaven-shattering, but then Ariel angrily scolded the scumbag, "You must think Isabella is a blood clan and can't help you have an heir, you men are like this" There is also reason to say that it is convincing.
Because, from the very beginning, it was a completely logical behavior, they seemed to spread rumors casually, but it was reasonable and true.
This is also the reason why Rorschach suddenly became the prince of the wood spirit in the event of an accident....... such a thing, if there is no preparation in advance, it is impossible to announce it.
So, Bayer's side kindly asked Saviara to return as soon as possible, determined her return time with the start time of the project, and secretly prepared for the princess's engagement ceremony in China.
Here, knowing that Rorschach knew the truth and probably wouldn't want to come, he hinted at him that "there are great magic armor and technology here, and we can also provide political support to help make your trip to the Northland safer", of course, these promises are also true, but the "forgot" notice and a wedding are waiting for him.
And the meeting of the two is naturally not accidental, and that wedding (wedding specification engagement ceremony) is waiting for them.
When two people have the same destination, choose the same mode of transportation, have the same scheduled arrival time, and take a cruise ship that has only been running for a long time, it is strange not to meet them.
But now that the situation has reached this point, I am afraid that no one knows what will happen next.
