426 "I want to usurp the throne."
Soon, the crowd gathered around the stage began to disperse.
There was still a hint of palpitation on the faces of the audience, as if they had not recovered from the earth-shattering sword, and they all talked about it until they left the island in the middle of the lake.
It is conceivable that after this time of watching the battle, Sheen's evaluation among the people of the kingdom will rise a lot.
At the very least, the voices of those who thought Sheen was unworthy of Rosie had disappeared many, many times, and many people had taken the adventurer-turned-viscount seriously.
And the children of the nobles were the complete opposite of the people of the kingdom, and one by one they were in a terrible mood.
Because, this is definitely not good news for them.
Especially those who originally thought that Sheehan's own strength was not too outstanding, or that it was his only weakness, would all feel that the whole person was not good.
"Who said that this viscount's personal strength is not outstanding?"
"Didn't you say that there was nothing great about crusading against the [Slayer Faction]?"
"Didn't you say that domesticating dragons doesn't prove anything?"
"Didn't you say that the Knights of the Kingdom of the Galuoli family were destroyed by the black dragon of Atru?"
"Didn't you say that he could get ahead, all because of the support of His Highness and the demons behind him?"
"Rumors kill people!"
Many of the children of the nobility cursed on the spot.
After this battle, all those who kept saying that they were going to challenge Sheen disappeared.
There are no longer people blocking the gate of the Poztut house every day, and the hostile reaction fed back to Sheen through the [Enemy Perception] skill has also decreased a lot.
It can be said that until this moment, Sheehan's position as the "first priority candidate" can be regarded as relatively uncontroversial.
Of course, it's just that there is no more.
In fact, there are still many people who are unwilling to give up and begin to make some calculations.
Presumably, as long as this son-in-law election meeting is not over for a day, they will not stop for a day, and they will never let Sheehan sit in the position of "first priority candidate" for too long, right?
It's a pity that they don't know that Sheehan doesn't need to sit for a long time, just sit down.
Otherwise, once these guys know that the so-called son-in-law election conference has actually had a predetermined winner, and they are all just here to put on a show, it is estimated that they will not be able to bear the blow and pass out directly.
Anyway, their tragedy is already doomed, and they can only take advantage of this time to toss twice.
Sheen had this thought, not only did he not feel that these people were hateful, but that he felt that they were pitiful.
In short, after this time, Sheehan is completely on fire.
Previously, Sheen's fire was limited to the noble circles, and on the side of the commoners, it didn't cause much of a sensation.
But this time, Sheehan is undoubtedly really popular, and has become a figure that has been constantly mentioned verbally by the people of the kingdom in recent times.
Even the rest of the royal family found Sheehan after this incident.
"Good job, you are much more capable than I thought, so that you don't need to have too much psychological pressure with Luoxi, and I can rest assured."
Anthy said something that made Sheen feel a little subtle.
"I finally know how strong this guy is you, no wonder Rosie is impressed with you."
Leah, on the other hand, spoke in a subtle tone, so that Sheen didn't know what to say.
Even Aridia and Shanai were looking at Sheen, one with a little inexplicable depth in their eyes, and the other with a sense of awe for Sheen, each showing different expressions.
It can be summed up in one sentence, that is, these people are both satisfied and pleased with Sheehan's performance.
This made Sheen mutter.
"I'm just a little serious, and that's it?"
If you give your best, will these people start to bow and worship?
Well, it's a bit of a dragon Aotian's protagonist.
On the contrary, it was Lothy, for some reason, her expression was a little serious.
"That prince is not very simple, should you remember to be careful when dealing with him?"
Rosie uttered such inexplicable words.
But Sheehan was deeply concerned.
"Don't worry, I know it."
Sheen nodded at Rosie, causing her to relax her expression.
Such a Rosie didn't know that before leaving, Harvey said a word to Sheehan.
"In the early hours of tonight, please go to the wild forest on the outskirts of the west gate of the royal capital to discuss important matters."
That's what Harvey said when he shook hands with Sheehan.
"Important... Is it? ”
Sheen muttered again.
This day was spent in such a lively situation.
......
Night, quietly falling.
After dark, the royal capital was still brightly lit, and compared with the several cities that Sheen had visited before, the degree of prosperity was not in the same level.
The spectacle of every house lighting a magic lamp has only been seen in the royal capital until now.
The royal capital is also the brightest city that Sheen has ever seen at night, and even the streets are illuminated by magic lamps, making the night of the royal capital not colder than the day, but more lively.
After all, at this time, many people have finished their busy day's work, and for them, the evening is the beginning of leisure and entertainment.
If there were no accidents, Sheen would have stayed in the palace and played all kinds of pleasant games with Rosie while no one else was there.
Therefore...
"I'll be angry if nothing interesting happens here?"
Outside the west gate of the royal capital, in a wild forest in the suburbs, Sheen appeared here at some point, and threw such words into the shadows ahead.
As soon as these words came out, a laugh rang out and responded to him.
"I don't know if it's interesting, but I think Qing's words should be a little interesting."
With that, Harvey stepped out of the darkness ahead, followed by a man.
None other than Rocht.
"Actually taking the strongest knight of the empire out to run at night, the pomp and circumstance of His Highness Harvey is really scary."
Sheehan made a scared look.
"No way, my identity is so special, in the kingdom, if you dare to trespass outside alone, you may be killed silently."
Harvey didn't expose Sheehan's pretenses, but pandered to him, and his attitude was still so kind.
"I don't think anyone would be that stupid." Sheen spread his hands and said, "Letting the first heir in line to the throne of the empire die in the royal capital of the Mithra Kingdom is simply too cheap for the current peaceful and prosperous times." ”
"I can't say for sure." Harvey restrained his smile and stared at Sheen seriously, saying, "Not everyone wants to see peace, and there are definitely not a few people who expect the kingdom and the empire to fight you to the death. ”
This meaningful speech made Sheen think in his heart.
So, Sheen glanced at Harveys and then at Rocther, and suddenly said, "By the way, Your Highness, didn't you bring that stunned young man beside you?" ”
"Stunned? Are you referring to Wolian? Harvey was slightly stunned at first, and then guessed who Sheehan was referring to, and said, "He didn't come, and I can't let him come." ”
All right.
At this point, if you continue to sell it, you will really become an old riddler.
"Your Highness invited me here, what is it for, let's just say it."
Sheehan folded his arms and looked at Harveys.
“......”
Harvey didn't respond immediately, but fell silent, as if collecting his mood.
Sheen wasn't in a hurry, just waited quietly.
On the side, Rocter seemed to completely exclude himself from this conversation, lowering his sense of presence and remaining silent.
After a while...
"Actually, the purpose of my coming to the kingdom this time is not to compete for the position of the husband of His Royal Highness Lothy Lustie." Harvey stared at Sheehan and said, "The main purpose of my coming here is to gain the support of the kingdom. ”
"Kingdom support?" Sheehan frowned and said, "What does this mean?" ”
Hearing this, Harvey still did not respond at the first time, but fell into struggle and hesitation.
"Your Highness." Only then did Rocther speak up, and said expressionlessly: "This is something that only you can do." ”
“...... I know. Harvey was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
Looking at Harvey like this, Sheehan knew that he must have something important to say.
However, Sheehan, who was thinking so, still changed his face after hearing Harvis's next sentence.
Because...
"To put it simply, Lady Poztut."
Harvey spoke calmly.
"I want to usurp the throne."
This prince is not shocking and dies.
"Usurpation?"
Sheehan was stunned.
"Yes." Harveys smiled bitterly and said, "I want to usurp the throne and oust the current emperor, my father, from the position of ruler of the empire." ”
Such words echoed very clearly in the forest.
Let the atmosphere of the scene become extremely heavy.
Sheehan and Harvey just looked at each other.
After a long time, Sheehan was sure.
"Looks like you're not kidding." Sheen sighed, as if feeling that he was involved in an extremely troublesome matter, and said as if he was bored: "Let me ask first, does this have anything to do with me?" ”
"Yes." Harvey didn't beat around the bush either, and said straightforwardly: "I will find Shangqing first, firstly, because Qingqing has a deep relationship with the Mithraic royal family and can be introduced on his behalf, secondly, because I think Qingqing has the ability to change my situation, and thirdly, because this matter is also related to the people around Qing, so I don't think Qing should stand idly by." ”
Come to think of it.
Otherwise, His Royal Highness the prince would not have directly approached a viscount like himself to help him seek a dynasty and usurp the throne.
And the person around him mentioned by the other party, Sheen can also guess who it is.
"Is it Thier?"
Sheehan seemed to be asking, but in fact, his tone was full of certainty.
"Yes." Harvey nodded and affirmed, "If I'm not mistaken, next, she will be killed by Wolian, by the Leferut family." ”
