"But my personal opinion can't be a barrier for you to think." Fairbanks thought as he circled around the room, "Aside from my current suspicions, it's only Locke Harvey, who is the most powerful support for the Minethil royal family. ”

"As you said, he is now the strongest lord. Then why doesn't he control me and thus control the whole kingdom? Princess Kalia frowned and asked, "As you said before, people change, and the temptation of royal power is incomparable to other things. ”

But Fairbanks soon burst into laughter, much to Princess Kalia's confusion.

"The reason why I say is that Rock Harvey is the right person to go. That's because he was the first lord to openly search for your whereabouts. Do you know what this represents? ”

Fairbanks asked Kalia rhetorically, who shook her head unknowingly. This made Farbanks' brow tighten tightly.

He couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

The princess has no such political consciousness, how can she survive in the suffocating political environment of the kingdom? Taking a step back, even if she did follow the path of the king, would she be influenced by other courtiers? Doing something bad for the kingdom?

Today's Lordaeron really can't withstand any turmoil...

Fairbanks looked at Princess Kalia steadily, and the scrutiny in his eyes made the princess's heart beat a drum. She had to bow her head and pretend to tidy up the things on the table to avoid the old priest's gaze.

It seems that the archbishop is right, Princess Kalia does not possess this trait...

Alas.

Fairbanks sighed, a king who is not capable enough is undoubtedly a disaster for the current shattered kingdom.

Suddenly, Fairbanks remembered what the Archbishop had said to him not long ago. He suddenly understood why the archbishop had asked him to come to her.

In response to the princess's lack of ability, the archbishop didn't just say it to himself...

Because of the entire Lordaeron, there is probably no one who knows the situation in the kingdom and the various resistance forces better than himself...

And I, who has just experienced betrayal, is undoubtedly the most suitable person to help the princess......

This is obviously the archbishop who lets himself choose....

Farbanks couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, how could he inexplicably pick up this kind of thing? He was so excited when he saw the archbishop that he agreed without even hesitation about what the archbishop said. Now that he came to his senses, he complained a little about why the archbishop didn't make it clear.

The reason why he was able to analyze the situation in the kingdom for the princess just now was because the choice was in the hands of Princess Kalia. How the princess chooses, that's her business. But now this matter has been transferred to himself.

At present, the most vocal new king of the kingdom is undoubtedly Rock Harvey. If he doesn't see the princess, he will support Locke as the new king, because the kingdom needs a young leader.

But now that I have seen the princess, this matter will not work. Not to mention the responsibility of strengthening the Minahir family, which has been taken on his shoulders.

With a long sigh, Farbanks let out the frustration in his heart. This dilemma, no matter how you choose, will bring different results.

Vaguely, Fairbanks seemed to see two different paths; One is the Minahir family, which was entrusted to him, and died in the long river of history because of his own choice. Lordaeron has a new owner, who may be Locke or someone else. The kingdom was thus freed from the mire and regained its footing on the earth. But this means nothing to the princess, because the Minahir family is gone.

On the other hand, the kingdom, led by the princess, has gone to another unknown path. But in light of the actual situation, he didn't think that the princess would bring the kingdom out of the quagmire in front of him...

Fairbanks paced the room until he thought of something, then stopped and turned to look at the princess not far away.

The princess was in the corner of the living room, tidying up the pot of bread that was already cooked. Seeing her in a rough linen robe, toiling like a peasant woman, Fairbanks felt a dull ache in his heart!

This is the princess of the kingdom of Lordaeron! The only one in the kingdom! O rightful heir!

The idea of vetoing the princess was shaken again, and Farbanks' fists clenched and loosened, clenched and released. His mind was a jumble, and all sorts of thoughts and arguments were constantly fighting in his mind, until he felt like his mind was about to explode, and he couldn't help but turn and kneel down on the prayer cushion in the middle of the living room.

A steady stream of prayers came out of his mouth, a low murmur that turned the princess not far away. She wiped the sweat from her head and looked at Fairbanks, who was kneeling on the ground, and seemed to understand something. In an instant, her face turned much paler.

Grit your teeth and wipe away the tears that are about to fall. Kalia turned around and picked up the spatula on the pot table, scooped out the bread one by one, and placed it on the wooden board next to it.

Busy work is always the best way to forget your worries, and before you know it, a long time has passed. It wasn't until the bell on the wall wall next to it that Fairbanks suddenly came back to his senses from prayer.

It's 0:00 in the morning.

Fairbanks rubbed his kneeling legs, and as he was about to get up, he found himself covered in a blanket made of goatskin. When he turned to look at the princess behind him, the poor girl was already asleep on the table.

By the flickering light of the candle, the tears hanging from the corners of the girl's eyes were still not dry.

In the face of such a Kalia, Farbanks always compares her with the princess of the past, and it is difficult for him to convince himself to give up the princess's move.

Case.... Fairbanks' gaze gradually became sharper...

Then come up with a way to get the best of both worlds!!

It is necessary to preserve the bloodline of the Minahir family, but also to make this kingdom strong!

Thinking so, he gently walked behind the princess and put the goatskin blanket in his hand over the princess. Perhaps because of Princess Kalia's long-term sensitivity, this action made her wake up in an instant.

Facing the sleepy-eyed and misty Princess Calia, Fairbanks said softly, "Your Royal Highness, do you believe me? ”

These words made the princess sober up in an instant, and she nodded hurriedly, "I believe you, Pastor Fairbanks. You are a trustworthy person of the archbishop, then I trust you too! ”

Farbanks nodded nondeniably, and he continued, "I think that if you still want to revive the Minethil family, I think you must use the power of Locke. At present, it can only rely on his strength. ”

"He is more upright and more just than others. As you may not know, he generally does not have a very good relationship with the nobles of the kingdom, and he has a strong obsession with maintaining the unity of the kingdom, so he has adopted a lot of special measures. Because of this, he became a thorn in the side of most nobles in the kingdom. ”

"If he had other ideas, he would never have looked for you. Because as soon as you show up, you will definitely be the center of attention for everyone. Especially the old nobles of the kingdom, they will definitely flock to meet you, and while they show their loyalty, they accuse Locke of not. And among these people, there will definitely be people who want to kill you. ”

"So, I don't think he's going to be too selfish. In the same way, I personally think that he is looking for you, and I don't think it's a show. Maybe he really wants to put you in the position of king. So, my personal suspicions aside, I think he deserves to be believed. ”

"I believe in you!" Princess Kalia said this without thinking.

Farbanks smiled faintly, and he continued, "However, the initiative is not in our hands for the things I said above, and we still have to be affirmed by him. In fact, there is a faster road in front of us, and the initiative of this road is in your hands, only you can walk. ”

"What's that?" Kalia slammed to her feet, and she said excitedly, "As long as I can restore the glory of the Minahir family, I am willing to do anything!" ”

"Your Royal Highness, how old are you this year? Do you have a husband? Farbanks asked softly.

"Me? I'm this year.... I ....." Almost instantly, Kalia immediately stopped her words, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Speaking of which, she already understood what Fairbanks meant.

It is true that among the aristocracy, marriage is undoubtedly the quickest and safest way to tighten the distance between two families!

In the current situation, if Locke and himself are combined, then the bloodline of the Minahir family will definitely be preserved. But again, Lord Locke Harvey is bound to become the new king!

No one would, and no one dared to question him.

It's just that, by that time, the Minahill family will lose the throne ...

This is clearly a far cry from the goal in Kalia's heart.

Fairbanks' deep voice continued to resound in the room, "You are the rightful heir to the kingdom, and you symbolize orthodoxy... That's where your advantage lies. ”

"Can you—" Calia looked up and plucked up the courage to say to Fairbanks, "Can you get Locke to change his surname to Minethiel?" ”

"No, I don't think it's possible." Without even thinking about it, Fairbanks shook his head and refused. He really couldn't think of why Locke would agree to such a move that was almost ridiculed by the entire continent.

"By now, in fact, there is no princess, and the foundation for him to become the new king has been laid. It's just that you become her wife, which will make him a king's reputation, more orthodox. ”

"He is already very close to the throne now, and the elbow from the public opinion and the nobles is almost none, don't look at those nobles who make trouble for him from time to time, but if he wants to, as long as he reveals a little rumor, at least half of the nobles outside will support him."

The nobles were tired of this precarious life, and they did not hesitate to offer their most flattering words to make Locke the new king.

As for the question of religion, there is even less to say. Fairbanks himself was a member of the Church of Light, and at some point, there was a force within the church that pushed Locke to power. The voice grew louder and louder, so loud that it was supported by nearly all the clergy.

Coupled with the fact that he is already a paladin of the Holy Light Church, who will the Holy Light Church support today when the royal power is gone?

For the Church of Light, they would love a paladin from the Church to become the king of the largest kingdom on the continent.

Since the Catastrophe, many of the originally devout civilians have gradually lost their devotion to the Light. The limited paladins and priests of the church alone do not make them feel truly safe. Their spiritual beliefs did not really help them, they watched their loved ones die in front of them, and their faith did not show miracles.

On the contrary, the death brought about by the darkness and evil appeared in front of them again and again, impacting their originally strong spiritual beliefs. The faith of many has collapsed, even some of the priests who serve the Light.

That's why the Cult of the Curse has spread so quickly across the land.

Therefore, if the new king of this kingdom is a paladin, it will undoubtedly be great news for the Church of Light. This is very urgent to stabilize the rule of the Holy Light Church in this land!

Facing Fairbanks' helpless shake of her head, Kalia bit her lip and whispered, "Or let the child we give birth to be renamed Minahir..."
