Chapter 640: Conversation with the Princess 2
"You see, that's the problem I'm facing right now," Locke still couldn't help but laugh, this was Princess Kalia's own reasoning, the circumstances she was in now.
What better excuse than this?
"If I'm a careerist, can you still stand here and talk to me?" Locke smiled faintly, "Actually, I did come here to find you with sincerity. β
"As I said, since I'm here, to a large extent, I'm your husband."
Kalia sighed, "Then I just don't have a choice?" β
"I have people I love, and I don't want to do that, but I have to. Do you understand? Locke said lightly, "I want this kingdom to stand on this planet again as it did in the past." Accept the worship of other kingdoms as in the past. But if someone is pointing fingers at me and meddles in my plans, I can't tolerate that. β
"That's one of the reasons why I left Fairbanks out and we're talking directly here. Althoughβ" Locke smiled and pointed at Kalia, "I didn't expect you to have changed your clothes yet." β
"You mean, you and I are just a political marriage?!" Kalia's eyes narrowed into a line, and she was a little angry and wanted to cover her chest at the same time, "You and I, we are just a marriage?" β
Locke nodded, "If you don't show up, my wife shouldn't be yours." But I don't want to break their hearts, so this is the best thing to do. β
"They?! Not yet one? Kalia's eyes widened, but she quickly recovered and looked at Locke with a sneer, "What else did I have to worry about?" Aren't the aristocracy so debauched? β
"What do you think?" Locke said thoughtfully, "I'm not going to pay attention to your private life..."
Speaking of which, Locke suddenly felt that something was wrong, wasn't this a green hat for himself to wear? It's just a nominal couple, but that's not going to work.
"No, it's not like that," Locke hurriedly corrected, "you're my wife, but you can't have... Well, other thoughts. You're my wife! You are the queen! But you can't mind my private life, well, that's it. β
"In front of outsiders, we respect each other as much as Bing'en and love, but in private, we do our own thing."
Kalia laughed angrily, it was the first time she had seen such a shameless person, that she had no fear of Locke. She wanted to say something sarcastic, but suddenly changed her mind.
"Oh, it's a pity. I'm a woman too," said Kalia, tilting her head with a look of concern, "if you were really my husband, I wouldn't let you have anything to do with other women in the first place. Secondly, I have been single for almost 30 years, and I also need a man to care for me and love me. So it's a pity..."
Kalia smiled proudly, and she shook her head at Locke, forgetting that she wasn't even clothed yet. So much so that her hands were unblocked from the vital parts, but luckily the firewood in the room was burning, which made her unaware of the cold outside.
Well, this woman has the capital to be proud. Looking at her body, Locke didn't make any movements. Regardless of whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally, this can no longer make him have any intention in front of his core interests.
"Listen to my advice first, but before that, put your clothes on." Locke naturally picked up the kettle on the table and poured a cup of tea, "We don't have to test each other anymore, you are a woman who can hide more than you seem." I have to admit that what happened to the Minahir family has made you look less like a princess. β
"More like a noblewoman with sophisticated diplomatic skills."
In an instant, Kalia seemed to be a different person, especially after hearing Locke say this. She naturally smiled wryly, and then, in front of Locke, put on all the underwear and panties of the skirt, and put on the shirt and pants until the gorgeous long white skirt outside.
"Now that you've seen me, you're not going to be responsible for me, are you?"
After getting dressed, Kalia sat calmly in front of Locke, "Tell me about your conditions, as you said, I hope you can take pity on me and my family for the sake of me being a poor woman." β
"I'll start by talking about my only strengths... Thank you. Kalia took the hot tea that Locke had pushed over, holding the crystal cup and warming her cold hands. The former supporters of the Minahir family are all the supporters behind me, and if I marry you, they will all follow your orders. You will also be affirmed by other human kingdoms. Archbishop Fao of the Holy Light may speak for you. β
Kalia stopped and waited for Locke's reaction, but to her disappointment, Locke looked at her calmly. He wasn't even surprised that Archbishop Fao was still alive.
"Well, what else?" Locke nodded for her to continue.
Kalia shook her head, she said helplessly, "There's nothing left, now the initiative is in your hands." As I said, if you kill me, you will still be the new king of Lordaeron. Your family will become the new royal family of Lordaeron. β
When Kalia said this, Locke breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she didn't know about the plan of the people behind the scenes. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that she deliberately said this without fear.
Locke should be sure of one thing, though. The driving force behind the scenes should be Archbishop Fao of the Holy Light. All of this must have been planned behind his back. He strung it all together perfectly, and he also used his personality traits to ensure the legacy of the Minahir family.
"Then I'll tell you what I'm going to do." Locke straightened up, and although Kalia in front of her pretended to look helpless, she made a lot of small movements. Adjusting the clothes on his body for a while, touching his hair that was scattered for a while, he didn't look up at Locke.
Locke was not in a hurry until she took a sip of tea and placed the cup on the table, then rested her elbow on the table with her left hand on her left chin and her right hand on her left arm.
Obviously, the woman was still nervous.
"I will reveal your identity as Princess Lordaeron, the sole heir to the Minethil family. And then there will be a wedding with you, a public wedding. At this point, Locke sighed, but thinking about it for the future, Locke continued, "Let's pick a time to hold the inauguration ceremony of King Lordaeron. β
"Of course, before that, I will clearly record the order of succession to the throne in the noble council. I will take over as the new king, and you will appear as the queen of the kingdom. β
"That's normal! And then what? Kalia was a little anxious, "What will happen to our children?" What exactly is the order of succession to the throne? β
Looking at Princess Kalia who was silent, Locke said calmly, "I will be the new king with the surname of the Harvey family." Our eldest son will change his surname to Minethir, and he will be first in line to the throne. Our children will be carried on by the Harvey family name, and they will receive the second, third, and fourth succession to the throne. β
"Of course, just in case, the fifth inheritance will still be the Minethil family."
"What! Is what you say true?!! Kalia stood up in shock! You're not lying to me, are you?! β
"Do I have to lie to you?" Locke is both helpless and some... He said unhappily, "I didn't intend to be a king in the first place..."
"Wow!!" Kalia jumped up from her chair in an instant, and she grabbed Locke's face and kissed him fiercely on the face! Then he walked back and forth in the room excitedly.
Locke is also a bitter stomach, and he is considered to have been pitted by Archbishop Fao. The peaches that were born through hard work were picked by the Minahir family, who were the only ones with Kalia.
This result is still the best result analyzed by his most confidant staff.
Now that Fao was watching his decision from the outside, he told Kalia that the outcome should satisfy him.
The other reasons have been analyzed by the staff, and the existence of the princess is already a problem. You can't kill or hide, otherwise Locke's reputation may be completely ruined in Lordaeron.
Having lost his reputation, how can he still lead Lordaeron? When I went to the conference of the alliance, no one would say anything for sure, and I would be boycotted and scolded as a usurper...
On the contrary, this result is the best.
Why is it good?
First of all, Locke is a king, and when he becomes a king, all the people who follow him under him can have a good arrangement and a home. There will be no other unforeseen circumstances.
Secondly, although his eldest son's surname is Minehir, he is his blood after all. This is not a big impact for Locke, and it may affect his future generations. The question of the king's succession may or may not lead to some bloodshed. But what does this matter to Locke? Future generations will have their own way of living, even if they make a pot of porridge, it doesn't matter much to me.
The eldest son inherits the surname Minethil and is bound to be the new king in the future. Because of his surname, the other kingdoms would not have contempt or hatred for Lordaeron.
Then, the Harvey family was a civilian family that wasn't even considered a stream before. After Harvey's eldest son, the children with the surname Harvey have the right to inherit the first to the fourth. This is tantamount to bringing the Harvey family into the royal family, which means that the Harvey family and the Minahill family, as well as the Greymane family of Gilneis, the Ureon family of the Stormwind Kingdom, and the Torbain family of Riptide Castle are on an equal footing!
This is very important, there is a huge difference between a royal family and an aristocratic family! Not to mention a family like Locke, who was born in a commoner, if Locke's father was still alive, he would definitely be ecstatic to praise Locke for what he did.
And in the end, Locke actually has his own ideas, which is inconvenient to say. That's about Sally Whiteman, Bridget Abydis, and them.
They were already tied to themselves, and it would have been impossible to give them up.
For the sake of the future, the best thing to do is for Locke and their future children to inherit everything that their family has before, and then divert some of the power that the Harvey family now has.
Whitemane had a significant influence in the Church of Light, and the children of Locke and Bridget were undoubtedly the best in this regard.
The Abidi family was already influential in the army, and Bridget would inherit his father's title and military position when the time came, and Locke and she would definitely inherit these if they had children.
As for Noris, she doesn't value that, she focuses on the future.
