There was dead silence in the chamber.

"Gollum."

The sound of swallowing saliva came, it was the eldest prince, according to normal circumstances, with the calm personality of the eldest prince, he would not be so out of shape, but Rowan Harvey was the treasurer of the kingdom.

The eldest prince knows a lot about finances, so he will lose his temper, if Rowan Harvey really does anything in the kingdom's finances, it is not as simple as how many gold coins the kingdom loses.

If someone else said that Rowan Harvey had committed treason, the princes or princesses would only be slightly surprised, and they would not fully believe the news.

But Su Xiao had just solved the 'Little Princess Assassination Case', and the terrifying efficiency shocked several princes and princesses, so they couldn't ignore the information given by Su Xiao.

"Is it reliable?"

The old king spoke, although his face was calm, but this was the first time he questioned whether the information provided by Su Xiao was reliable.

"Rowan Harvey has escaped from the royal capital, and as far as I know, Rowan Harvey was escorted out of the palace by Necronomicon Ildo, passing through the Feshi Gorge, and then arriving in the waters of Supuha, and then in the Aonniu River Valley, judging by the time, it is very likely that he has now arrived in the Nubaha Desert, and may even reach outside the God's Wall."

Su Xiao learned about Rowan Harvey's information from Ildo, and not only that, but he also learned other secrets.

For example, Rowan Harvey is not a pure human, he has two-thirds necromantic bloodline and one-third human bloodline, yes, Rowan Harvey is half-blood, and he is an outlier in half-blood.

Most of the mixed races have obvious characteristics, such as the two little loli on Su Xiao's mansion, Su Xiao has studied the two, these two people have more human blood, but their pupil color, skin color, etc. have the characteristics of the necromancer, and there are some differences in body shape, such as the size of the pelvis, the length of the fingers, etc.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the difference between mixed race and human race should be carefully observed, but in the eyes of professionals like Su Xiao, the difference between mixed race and human is obvious.

Although Rowan Harvey is a half-blood, he is an extremely rare existence among half-bloods, or the first case in history, he has no necromantic characteristics at all, no matter how you look at it, he is 100% human, or rather, he has no necromantic blood in his body at all.

Originally, the Necrons also believed that Rowan Harvey was human, for which his mother was almost banished for infidelity, but one thing that changed Rowen Harvey's life was that he awakened the power of necromancy when he was a child.

You must know that the power of necromancy can be acquired or inherited, and Rowan Harvey, as a 2-year-old child, does not have the conditions to obtain the power of necromancy at all.

This alarmed the Necro higher-ups, who began to study Rowan Harvey, a half-breed necromancer.

After some research, the Necronomicon higher-ups came to the conclusion that Rowan Harvey was indeed a half-blood, and that he was more of a necromantic half-blood, but his physical characteristics were completely human.

The Necromantic Clan's high-level immediately recognized the value of Rowan Harvey, and at first, the Necromantic Higher-ups intended to train Rowan Harvey to the military side, but Rowan Harvey's qualifications were limited, but when Rowan Harvey was 17 years old, he showed surprising financial talent.

After decades of operation, Rowan Harvey became the treasurer of the Kingdom of Saint-Sodin at the age of 59, and was trusted by the old king.

In the council chamber, the old king sat on his throne, his eyes narrowed, and in his opinion, the treason of Rowan Harvey was more difficult than the 'assassination of the little princess'.

The 'Little Princess Assassination Case' has basically ended, the mastermind has been arrested, and those necromantic clans hidden in the royal capital have fled, and they have died, as long as there are no mistakes in the follow-up of this matter, there will be no more problems.

The old king summoned a Praetorian guard, and ten minutes later, the old king confirmed the news that Rowan Harvey had fled, and the second princess knew about it, Su Xiao learned about Rowan Harvey's escape through the intelligence channel of the second princess, but she didn't say it, not that she didn't want to say it, but he couldn't say that something happened on the way she learned about this information, and that was something that the old king must not know.

"So far, there have been no financial failures."

The old king rubbed his forehead lightly, he was thinking about what Rowan Harvey had done during his reign, there was nothing wrong with the finances, and this was the most terrible situation.

Rowan Harvey has fled, it is basically impossible to capture him back, he must have done something during his reign, otherwise the years of hard work of the Necromantic Clan will be in vain, and even if Rowan Harvey escapes back to the Necromantic Clan, there will definitely be no good fruit for him to eat.

"Father."

The eldest prince stood up, his eyes looked directly at the old king, who rested his elbows on the armrest of the throne, pressed his fingertips on his forehead, rubbed his forehead gently, and he did not look at the eldest prince.

The eldest prince took a deep breath and continued: "Father, I will withdraw from this competition and hand over the financial power of the kingdom to my son, although I don't know what Rowan Harvey has done, but I will find a way to remedy it." ”

The eldest prince knelt on one knee, the smile on his face that made people feel like a spring breeze disappeared, and all that was left was unwillingness.

If he wants to take over the financial power, the eldest prince must withdraw from this power struggle, otherwise he will have ill intentions and take advantage of the national crisis to ascend to the throne, which is absolutely not allowed.

Therefore, the eldest prince chose to give up, compared to the throne, he looked further, God knows what kind of time bomb Rowan Harvey left in the kingdom's finances, if the kingdom's economic system collapsed, then the first bad luck was not civilians, but soldiers on the front line.

Once the wall of God is breached, it is not a matter of the throne, but of the survival of all mankind.

“……”

The old king did not speak, but only looked at the eldest prince, and then at the other princes and princesses.

Sensing the old king's gaze, the third prince stepped forward and knelt on one knee: "Father, the sons and daughters also withdraw, let me go to the front line, the commander of the Heslet army can hold the northwest, and I ...... Able to hold the southwest. “

The third prince and the eldest prince knelt side by side, his fists clenched, he prepared a lot and paid a lot to fight for the throne.

The reason why the eldest prince and the third prince did this was because they both knew what Rowan Harvey's treason represented.

If the kingdom of St. Sodin is compared to a pyramid, then the spire is the royal power, the next step is the military power, finance, and governance, and the next step is the institution of the three branches, the three support the royal power, and if there is a problem in any link, the royal power may be planted directly.

At the moment, there is no problem with the kingdom's finances, but Rowan Harvey is an undercover agent sent by the enemy, this undercover agent has been lurking for so many years, and now that he has escaped, the kingdom's economy still does not see any problems, which is terrifying.

"You two, don't you regret it?"

The old king smiled, the eldest prince would do this, he had expected before, maybe it was this character of the eldest prince that the old king would give him a 'right to avoid death', as for the third prince, he did surprise the old king.

"No regrets."

The eldest prince and the third prince replied in unison, don't think that the two will be brothers, even now, they still don't like each other.

"Okay, so be it."

The old king got up and walked slowly outside the council hall, and there was no earth-shattering reversal of the situation, such as the old king directly crowning the throne of the eldest prince or the third prince.

This matter is not an assessment arranged by the old king at all, but the kingdom does need the ability of these two people.
