When the head of any unitary dictatorship, as a symbol of the state, intends to risk his life and enter the front line in person, as long as the subordinates with good brains will vigorously oppose it.

The Merlin Empire was no exception.

After Lin An's funeral, the Imperial Family and the Senate headed by Prince Cyril sent an inquiry to the Emperor, asking him to explain his rash move without consent.

In the name of the President of the Senate and the Patriarch of the Merlin royal family, the Saxons convened a joint council of the Supreme Council.

No one knew what the emperor had said to the Senate and the Imperial Family, and after the meeting, the Imperial Family and the Senate, who had been pinned on by their vassals and who had been the backbone of the opposition, fell silent and remained silent about the Emperor's personal conquest.

This strange attitude has subdued the opposition among the ministers.

Under the resolute attitude of the emperor, the vassals had to compromise and retreat to the next best, demanding that if the emperor wanted to conquer in person, he must first appoint an heir.

The abolition of the prince of a country is a major event, once it is established, it will be sworn by the nobles to consolidate the monarchy, even if the king intends to set up another in the future, it will take a lot of time, if the middle twists and turns, it may also cause civil strife and shake the country, and His Majesty the Saxon is unmarried and has no children, which is something that everyone knows.

The vassals thought that this request would calm down His Majesty the Emperor and think deeply about the price to be paid for this imperial expedition, but as soon as this request was made, His Majesty the Emperor immediately agreed, and immediately put forward the candidate in his mind:

He decided to establish Michelle Rhine. Sandras. Abraham. Enlais. Merlin, his own sister. She is the empress of the Merlin Empire.

……

"What! The Saxons want to go on a personal expedition? ”

Elizabeth was nearly nine months old and close to labor when she received the letter from the Merlin Empire, and she spent most of her time in the Oak Temple, and thanks to a private message from the Emperor Merlin, she met her husband, who had not appeared for several days, and heard an unbelievable news.

Ranster appeased his wife and did not dare to read the letter again, telling her the core of the letter directly:

"Not only does he want to drive the royal expedition, but he also plans to make Michelle the crown princess. And the purpose of his letter this time. It was to get Michelle engaged to John. ”

After all, Elizabeth is a princess who grew up in the royal family, and after becoming the Grand Duchess, her political sense of smell is further strengthened, and she can easily smell the unusual smell. With a not very good face, he said:

"The Queen's Daughter! Merlin has never had a princess in history? Are the Saxons crazy? How could the Senate and the imperial uncle and brother agree with his decision! ”

"Here's the problem." Lancet said solemnly. Although it is not explicitly stated. But judging from the meaning of the emperor's words, the Senate and Prince Cyril and others did not oppose Michelle as the empress dowager. ”

"This ......"

Elizabeth also stammered for a moment.

In the order of inheritance. Michelle is indeed the closest side of the Saxon line, and is the first in line to the throne, but Merlin has always had a tradition of male succession priority.

Especially now that the war is still going on, the Senate and the Near Branches of the Imperial Family have more reasonable reasons to ask for the Male Families of the Near Branches to obtain a priority succession sequence within three generations, and with Elizabeth's consistent perception of the Merlin royal family, she can hardly imagine any way to convince the Elder House and the group of stubborn old fellows in the Imperial Family.

She was shocked for a moment before she said, "It's so sudden, I suspect something might have happened to Pompey." This marriage contract cannot be agreed to now, since the Saxons are only exchanged in private letters, let's delay it for a while and see the situation clearly. ”

There is no reason for Lancet to disagree.

Originally, he was only worried that his wife would attach too much importance to the maternal relationship, so he decided to make a marriage contract for his son indiscriminately.

Thankfully, the pregnancy didn't sway Elizabeth emotionally.

But no matter what turmoil Pompey has, since it has involved Stuart, thousands of miles away, Lancet will not sit idly by and order his intelligence system to pay attention to the changes in Pompey's situation.

The intelligence system quickly presented the information to Lanster's desk.

Seeing the content of this intelligence, and linking it with Salin's previous meaningful words, Lenster finally determined that an undercurrent was approaching Stuart, no, it should be the entire ruling class.

"Mage? To be precise, it should be the crowns behind them......"

As the ruler of a country, from the position of Emperor Merlin, he was vaguely aware of the reasons that forced the Saxons and the Merlin royal family to make such a decision.

"The hidden danger of the demon disaster has not been eliminated yet, do you want to start an internal strife? …… No, maybe the demons weren't wiped out immediately. It was exactly the situation they wanted. Rance smiled bitterly, "Ann, if you knew your sacrifice, but still didn't let the Terrans escape the whirlpool of war, would you regret it?" ”

The current situation has been chosen by Lanster.

As the Grand Duke of Stuart, the fate of the duchy is closely related to the Merlin Empire, and his ruling power is based on the aristocracy, and Lenster has no second choice but to side with the nobility.

He did not lack judgment and decisiveness in decision-making, and soon understood that this was a struggle that was about to sweep the continent, and as the ruler of the Duchy of Stuart, he was already deep in the whirlpool of struggle, and it was better to take the initiative than sit back and wait for death.

Soon, Emperor Merlin's private messages came one after another, vaguely revealing some kind of distress.

Its content is just as Lancet foresaw from the intelligence, the mage group has begun to have an impact on secular rule through the demon hunting list and the general trend of demon disasters, and this impact is not caused objectively, but someone is fueling it.

Immediately afterwards, Merlin's letter arrived, and he officially asked for a marriage contract with the Duchy of Stuart to marry the next heir.

On the premise of not interfering with John's inheritance and Stuart's internal affairs, Merlin also additionally promised that once Mercher and John were married, John would receive Merlin's title of prince and a princely possession adjacent to the Stuart border, which fully demonstrated Merlin's sincerity and also indirectly revealed. Merlin's domestic undercurrent is looming.

Lancet pondered for a night, but did not immediately agree, but summoned the envoys of the Merlin Empire, and said to the envoys in front of many vassals:

"My Majesty's ardent wish for our country, I have fully understood, and I should have immediately replied to the letter of state in return for Your Majesty's kindness, but there is one thing that makes me dare not immediately agree to Your Majesty's proposal to marry."

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the matter?"

"Your envoy doesn't know. John is now the patron of Mimel, the great and benevolent god of oaks. According to the canon, he will not be relieved of his duties as the Son until he is ten years old and will return to the world, so in a fundamental sense. John didn't belong to me and Stuart at this time. Rather, it belongs to His Majesty, the great god of oaks. ”

Randster said with a look of reverence and reverence:

"Although His Majesty is a merciful and generous being. But I can't make a worldly marriage contract for John. ”

This is really a strange peak.

But the envoy was worthy of being entrusted with a heavy task by the Saxons, and he had a lot of experience in diplomacy and politics, and he had a turn of his mind. understood the benefits of Ranster's pulling out the banner of theocracy at this time, and secretly praised the power of the Grand Duke of Stuart.

He happily said:

"Even in Pompeii, I have heard of the great miracles of His Majesty, the God of the Oak Tree, and with the greatness of that Majesty, if he had known that the marriage between our two nations would bring peace and well-being to the people of both countries, he would have gladly consented to the conclusion of this marriage."

Ranster hesitated, but after a long time, he relented, "Well, I will personally pray to His Majesty Mimer, and if I can get His permission, I have no objection to this marriage." ”

Three days later, the god of oak trees, touched by the piety of the Grand Duke of Stuart, sent down a miracle, and through the mouth of the Holy Maiden, in front of hundreds of thousands of people in the county capital, personally agreed to this marriage, and put on a sacred cloak for the marriage contract between the Merlin Empire and the Duchy of Stuart.

This marriage contract is known as the "Holy Marriage" in history.

At the same time, due to frequent wars and natural disasters, the belief in the god of oaks is rapidly spreading among the hundreds of millions of people in the Muse Continent who are caught in the nightmare of calamity.

……

The envoy was still on its way home, and a secret report about the mission had been delivered to Emperor Merlin's desk.

"Very good, very good...... "After reading the contents of the secret report at a glance and ten lines, a few smiles were written on the corners of Saxon's cold mouth, "He can react like this, he must have understood the situation and his own advantages - very good, very good!" Even better than I expected......"

Two thousand years ago, in order to fight against the divine power, the first king of Merlin fostered a group of mages, making Merlin the current country of mages;

Two thousand years later, if the declining divine power can be re-established, it may no longer be able to take on a three-legged trend.

Putting down the secret report, the well-maintained slender fingers writhed under the belly of the table, and the dark box popped up on one side of the red sandalwood long table, and the box was empty, except for a dried rose flower.

The craftsmanship of the flower makers is very crude, the golden crown has been stored with the utmost care, the dried flowers are still slightly deformed, and the outer petals have long since dried up, causing most of the color and fragrance to be lost.

Saxon gently lifted it up like a treasure, put it under his nose and sniffed it, as if he could still smell the richness of this rose rolling off the tip of the beauty's hair, and his cold and thin face gradually softened.

"You must have thought of this result a long time ago, right? Is this your legacy again......"

The hall fell silent.

Since the bad news came, Viscount Roosevelt had seen much of His Majesty the Emperor's state, and quietly withdrew, not daring to disturb His Majesty's remarks on Ann. Her Majesty's remembrance of Lynn.

It was a long time before he heard the call of His Majesty the Emperor in the main hall.

The rose in the hands of the Saxons has disappeared, and His Majesty the Emperor has regained his majesty and indifference as the monarch of Merlin, and has commanded plainly:

"Let them use the fastest way to spread the news that Michelle is the chosen one."

Viscount Roosevelt was slightly shocked and bowed his head, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

As the closest person to His Majesty the Emperor, he vaguely understood something from the Emperor's recent actions.

……

"The Chosen! Her Royal Highness Michelle turned out to be the Chosen One! Emperor Merlin had concealed this matter for so long! ”

The surging spiritual power was stirring in the tower layer, and if an ordinary person entered here, he would immediately be torn to pieces by the surging coercion of several archmages, and his liver and gallbladder would be shattered and he would die.

"Speaking of which, there were early signs of this matter, and we should have been alert when the Great Elder suddenly accepted her as a disciple." Master Grant said, "The Great Elder should be the one in the know. ”

When it comes to Lin An, everyone naturally thinks of her destiny with the same hand, and then thinks of Michelle from Lin An, and a chill involuntarily wells up in their hearts.

"The Great Elder has long guessed our plan and deliberately concealed this matter, I am afraid that he wants to leave a glimmer of life for the Merlin royal family." Master Heinz said.

"Or perhaps, the Great Elder is very dissatisfied with being caught in the chess game, leaving this chess piece and wanting to overturn the entire chessboard." Master Brooke said in a dumb voice, "The Chosen One, hehe, who dares to touch her?" ”

The crowd was silent.

Looking at Lin An's past experience, anyone who is an enemy of her, even the incarnation of a god will fall, even if Lin An is dead at this time, but it has left a deep imprint on the daughter of fate to all those who know.

Even if they were all Terran legends behind them, after learning that Michelle was the Chosen One, they didn't have any sense of security in their hearts.

After a while, Master Grant said, "We didn't plan to use the most decisive plan, if we can make the Chosen One our side, she will not only not be a hindrance, but also a help." ”

A child who is only four years old is a critical period for ideological formation, and if she loses her guardian at this time, it is easy to change her position and tendencies.

Everyone has already agreed on this matter, and it has been tacitly approved by the legends.

"The question is, what about the engagement?"

In order to exert influence on Michelle, the Merlin Emperor must be removed, but even if the former is removed, Michelle has another one tied to her.

Master Biyulai sighed, "The Chosen One can't move, but the Divine One can?" Don't forget, the Great Elder is also the Divine Favor of That. ”

What's more, Lin An's relationship with Archduke Stuart is far from being comparable to that of Saxon, the titular fiancé.

Not to mention whether they can pass the psychological level, even if they can, the Azure Spear suppressed by a few crowns will not sit idly by - he can't move a few crowns, can't he move them?

However, if we sit back and let this marriage contract exist, with the current momentum of the spread of the Oak Cult, within twenty years, it will be a holy church again.

And they have enough power to suppress the upper echelons of all the royal families, but the secular power is extremely weak, and they can only watch this sect rapidly expand among the people and be welcomed by all the ruling classes, but they cannot stop it.

The people are the foundation of the rule, and even with the support of the legendary powerhouses, they cannot ignore the will of the people.

Mages are a powerful group, but they are not enough to fight against the entire human race, although the legendary powerhouses can directly wipe out a few royal families, but unless they want to be exhausted by the repeated rebellions that follow, they will never come to this point easily.

Thinking of this, everyone smiled bitterly.
