Chapter 146: Prince Ortiz's Ambitions
Chaos above the Duchy of Belmar.
Naturally, it gives a lot of people a chance. Make them want to do things that they wouldn't normally think about.
For example, it's a riot or something.
Naturally, it also gave Prince Skadi Ortiz a little ambition.
It was like weeds that had grown all over his heart.
It's just a fire away from lighting them all right now.
To know.
Originally, Ortiz was ready to live his life peacefully like this.
Although his sister-in-law was afraid of rumors, he did not kill him.
But it trapped him in this place.
He was like a pig, and he was imprisoned here.
His people couldn't get out at all. No one outside wants to see each other.
Although there has been some relaxation over the years.
His men can come and go as they please.
But he still can't get out of here. The aristocrats who supported him from the outside.
Some have not lost power. It's that he is already old and no longer deals with the affairs of the family.
There are many people left, and their attitudes are warm.
Give yourself a positive answer at all.
Gradually, I was disappointed
Knowing that these people are simply unreliable.
But I have to say that his sister-in-law is really powerful.
The old guys didn't take much advantage of her in the end.
It's a pity that she is an outsider.
No matter what she does.
For the Duchy of Belmar.
She's all an outsider.
Not having the blood of the Cassidy family is her greatest weakness.
Those sacred covenants were not for the presence of Skadi.
Her name will not be recognized.
Even if she sat in that position. He also added his name after those who had gone before him.
However, none of this has anything to do with Ortiz.
Perhaps, when his sister-in-law is going to die.
Someone directly brought him a glass of poisoned wine.
Ortiz is a day at a time for herself.
He didn't see any hope anyway.
Those old family fires, they definitely didn't want him to be on the throne at that time.
After all, compared to him, isn't it fragrant for them to support a puppet of the royal family?
When the time comes, he will become the biggest eyestone in the eyes of those people.
At that time, those people must have gone out on their own.
Otherwise, they won't be able to get around.
No matter what, he is the first heir to the throne.
They can't justify it from the point of view of etiquette at all.
As for his sister-in-law at that time.
I didn't think of it at all.
She used a "retreat to advance" approach.
said that she was pregnant with her brother's flesh and blood.
Actually, not at all.
That's just a lie they've made up to stall for time.
At that time tonight, someone advised him to make a decision on the spot.
However, I actually thought that it was inevitable.
Isn't it just a little delay, what else can they do?
Even if you really have children.
If it's a girl. Then he is not the next king.
What's the use of these conspiracies.
But no one thought that the truth gave him a hard slap.
Her sister-in-law actually ascended the throne after such a short period of time.
With the support of those nobles.
However, at that time, he was actually kept in the dark.
is still dreaming of his spring and autumn season.
By the time he received the edict of his accession.
He thought it was those people who were dead.
It turned out to be someone else's.
He wanted to go out and ask the woman for an explanation.
But from that moment on, he was controlled here.
Can't get out.
How could those guys possibly let him out.
Later, I heard from my own subordinates that those people made those remarks in their own name.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is voluntary.
Everything in the royal family is in harmony. It's not as full of power struggles as those gossip legends.
Almost everyone is happy with the result.
Except for himself.
However, the years have smoothed Ortiz for his sharp corners.
Let him become resigned to mediocrity.
and even adapted to such a life.
At first he told himself.
These are nothing more than pretends.
Make those people think they've given up. Gave up the idea of that position.
It's over time.
He's even used to it.
Even Ortiz himself couldn't tell the difference.
Is this pretending, or is it already like this?
But sometimes, when you think you're going to spend your whole life like this.
Fate played a big joke on you again.
It's like now.
Those situations that arose in the Duchy of Belmar.
Of course he knew.
It may not have been clear when I was young before.
But his current life in here did not make him completely decadent.
He could see it.
This is the method of his own sister-in-law.
She wanted to use this method to sweep away the old guys.
Harness the power of the church.
Keep the parliament in your hands.
Or rather, the position of the Grand Council President is in his own hands.
I can see it, and those old guys can see it too.
They're monkeys.
For power, it is as sharp as a shark in the sea smells blood.
He didn't know what rights his sister-in-law had promised them in order to consolidate his position.
But the right to give them easy.
However, if you want to take it back.
That's not that simple.
No, those people have quietly let out a little bit of a mouth.
said that he could support himself to the top.
But well, it still depends on the meaning of your own side.
Ortiz is familiar with this routine.
It's all about making yourself set a price.
If the price is right, they help themselves.
Then just shoot it in two.
Let's just pretend that this hasn't happened.
No one affects anyone.
What was supposed to be lived before, what is now lived.
Ortiz didn't want to be here for the rest of his life.
He thought he would never have ambitions or anything in the future.
But when that position was so close to me again.
Ortiz admits that she was tempted.
Why can a woman who is not related to the Skady family at all sit in that position?
He can't.
If anything, he is the real orthodoxy now.
However, he was imprisoned in this place.
To say that there is no unwillingness at all is unrealistic.
Ortiz thought about it there for a long time.
He decided to give it a try, and no matter what the result was, he wouldn't regret it.
Of course, Ortiz didn't stupidly agree to those guys' conditions.
After all, compared to his own sister-in-law.
Those people aren't a good thing, either.
In their hearts, if there is a little bit of the Skadi family, they themselves will not be here.
For them, only their own family interests are concerned.
is really worth protecting.
The rest doesn't matter.
