Duke Elian's wisdom and years of experience in the political arena of the empire, it only took him half a minute to react.

Prime Minister Paul is not wrong at all, at this moment, if Duke Habs is asked to choose a candidate for the throne, Princess Bella is actually a very good candidate.

Princess Bella's fiancé, Leo and Duke Habs, have always been allies who have helped each other, and with Cheeto's intermediary in them, the relationship can be called unbreakable.

With Leo's relationship, if Princess Bella really ascends to the throne of the Spany Empire, Duke Habs may not be able to further challenge the position of Prime Minister or Minister of War, but it is no problem to firmly grasp the power in his hands and protect the interests of the Blood Wolf Family.

With the exception of Princess Bera, Duke Habs, no matter which prince or princess he supported as emperor, would not be able to do so, unless Duke Habs wanted to follow the example of Duke Leanne and Chancellor Paul before him as a powerful minister who supported the puppet emperor.

After thinking about this, Duke Leanne nodded slightly, and began to feel more and more that Prime Minister Paul's plan was quite feasible.

On the mainland, there are cases such as the one in which a previous ruler posthumously supports a close relative of the ruler rather than a direct blood relative to ascend to the throne. For example, after the death of King Henry VII of the Kingdom of Angles fifty-six years ago, the nobles of the Kingdom of Angreux refused to support the sons of Henry VII, and instead put Henry VII's cousin on the throne, that is, Edward VI.

In fact, there are not many such examples in other kingdoms or empires, and if you want to cite them, you can casually cite a double digit, but the Sbanany Empire has been inheriting the throne according to the system of father's death and son's succession for three hundred years, so Duke Lean, as a nobleman of the Spany Empire, is a little difficult to accept for a while.

But then again, since the Spany Empire has just had its first Empress in three hundred years, why can't it be the same as the Anglo kingdom to have a collateral blood relative as the emperor? Anyway, breaking a convention is also a fight, and breaking a bunch of conventions is still a fight, isn't it all the same?

Duke Lean's eyes showed a hint of realization, and he suddenly looked up at Prime Minister Paul: "Your Excellency, what you said is not wrong at all, Habs really has a good chance of agreeing to this suggestion." But even if Habs agrees to this, then what good will it do me and the Golden Lion family? ”

Prime Minister Paul laughed and said, "Why do you knowingly ask, Lord Duke? Now who in the government and the opposition doesn't know that your Golden Lion family has long been secretly allied with Pope Leo, if it weren't for Pope Leo's intervention, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to be the commander of the rebel coalition, right? So please tell me, is it any good for you to have Pope Leo's fiancée become the second empress of our Sbanney Empire? ”

Duke Leanne shook his head, and judging by the expression on his face, it was clear that he felt that he had asked a rather stupid question. After a pause, the Duke continued: "Then this plan seems to be beneficial to me and to Habs, and what will you gain from this plan, Lord Paul?" ”

Duke Leanne was not naïve enough to make a wedding dress for himself and Duke Habs so well that Chancellor Paul would do so.

Prime Minister Paul had a wise smile on his face: "I have received the same thing as you, dear Duke. That is the continuation of the family and the guarantee of power and status, and although I have not had much contact with Pope Leo, I believe that with his cleverness, it is absolutely impossible to treat me badly. ”

Duke Leanne pondered for a while, and finally stretched out his hand to Prime Minister Paul: "I hope we can work together happily, Prime Minister." ”

Prime Minister Paul also stretched out his hand, and the two of them high-fived hard in the air.

"What's next?" The Duke of Leanne asked, although the Duke himself had some thoughts in his heart, but it was not a bad idea to hear the thoughts of Prime Minister Paul, the initiator of the plan.

Prime Minister Paul said: "I will immediately rush back to Ridmar City to communicate with Habs, and then take control of the situation in Ridmar City with him." ”

Duke Lian nodded and said, "Then I will stabilize the morale of the front-line army here, and at the right time make a statement to the entire continent, saying that our rebel coalition is willing to support Princess Bera to become the ruler of the empire and the kingdom of France at the same time." ”

Prime Minister Paul thought for a while and said, "During this time, there may be many people who are ready to move and even want to control the military power, Lord Duke, you should know how to do it." ”

Duke Li'an snorted and said, "I have been fighting for decades, and it is absolutely impossible for such a thing as a mutiny to succeed in my camp, but there is some trouble on the Jimny side, and I am afraid that I can only surround it for the time being." By the way, how do we contact Pope Leo? ”

Prime Minister Paul said: "The Habs should have some secret channels, but if it doesn't work, I can go directly to the Holy See in person." ”

The two of them quickly studied all aspects of the whole plan, which lasted three hours, until the guards began to shout outside the tent to go to dinner, that Prime Minister Paul got up from his seat and said to the Duke of Leanne, "Without further ado, I will set off at once." ”

"Okay." Duke Lean nodded vigorously, took out a magic scroll from his bosom and activated, and a portal immediately appeared in front of the two of them.

Duke Li'an said in a deep voice: "The other side of this portal is the secret room of the Golden Lion Family's mansion in Ridmar City, I hope that the Prime Minister can send back the good news as soon as possible." ”

Without any hesitation, Prime Minister Paul quickly entered the portal.

Half an hour later, Prime Minister Paul appeared in front of the Duke of Habs, who was in charge of the affairs of the palace, and had a secret conversation with the Duke of Habs, and did not leave until nightfall.

Shortly after Prime Minister Paul left, a harrier eagle specially trained to deliver messages quickly rose from a secluded alley not far from the palace and flew in the direction of the Holy See.

At midnight, the Wind Harrier Eagle landed accurately on the building of the headquarters of the Holy See's Inquisition.

Five minutes later, Cheeto, the master of the Inquisition, got the urgent message, which was then sent to Leo's room.

Leo was lying on the bed, his whole face was extremely pale, and even his voice was very weak: "What is written on it?" ”

After a whole day of rescue, Angelina and Dandrion teamed up, coupled with a full half of the barrel of essence blood released from Xiaobai's body, finally freed Leo from the desperate situation of death, and drove out all the toxins from Leo's body, at the cost of Leo needing to recuperate for at least a year.

Cheedo waved the secret letter in his hand, and his face was full of excitement: "Your Majesty, the opportunity to let the Bright King come to this entire continent is now in front of us!" ”
