There is a popular saying within the Kingdom of Itnell -

Ever since the King's Guards and Temple Guards brought back the Chosen One from the Frost Keep, big things have been happening.

First of all, Lord Saiya, the deputy priest of the temple and known as the wisest and youngest candidate for the chief priest of all time, died in the kingdom of Sekorid.

Later, when the envoys of the Kingdom of Sekorid returned the body, they were ambushed by vampires in the territory, and almost all of them were wiped out, except for the dragonwing Jed Peg who survived with his great strength.

Relations between the two countries are in a very delicate and terrible state of imminent eruption.

Not long after, after the Chosen One Ritual ended, Grand Duke Olga, lord of the Holy Beta Territory, was beheaded by the Duke of Shalom in the royal city.

Yuiwa broke out of control and invaded the royal capital, nearly killing His Majesty.

That night, called-

Ritual of the Bloodstained Chosen.

It seems that this is a very ominous omen.

If it weren't for God's favor, I'm afraid Robin would have been regarded as a kingdom demon long ago.

The hearts of the people below are also shaken, unsure if the return of the Chosen One will really continue the bloodline of the kingdom and bring them a bright future.

In short, in Itney is in a shaky turmoil, and something big has happened recently.

Although the people below may not be able to understand, but for those high-ranking nobles, this is a very strong signal -

Let them return to the pinnacle of power.

Of course, it may also be a signal that you have fallen into the abyss and will never be able to get out again-

The [Restart the Three Powers Conference Plan] jointly initiated by the Temple Envoy Calista and the three Grand Dukes.

When Margaret Cecil heard the news, she trembled.

Along with the goblet filled with crimson Cafi Manor wine, he accidentally dropped to the ground.

Bang.

The cup shattered.

The aroma of wine is overflowing.

Crimson wine stained the floor red, like blood.

Several servants immediately cleaned up with tools.

One of the slightly darkened maids lay on the ground, carefully and quickly picking up shards of glass from the ground and placing them in the palm of her hand.

This goblet is two months' salary for her.

"What's the matter, Mother?"

Annabel Cecil, the young heir to the Cecil family, asked in a gentle tone, her sapphire blue eyes looking at the shards of glass on the ground.

"It's going to change."

Margaret clasped her hands, her eyes full of worry.

Half of her body was raised above the windowsill, staring blankly at the sky outside.

The sky was full of dark clouds, and the wind was rising.

It looks like it's going to rain.

In the south, winter is the season of abundant rain.

"Do you mean the Council of the Three Powers?"

"yes." Margaret's voice was slightly old.

The gray hair on the back of her head had increased considerably.

The Council of the Three Powers has been around since there were three countries. The so-called three powers refer to the three powers of the temple, the nobility and the king.

In the Council of the Three Powers, they voted in their hands to determine the general direction of the kingdom.

But this rule was broken during Olivia's administration.

He expanded the number of members of the Three Powers Council from more than 20 at the beginning to 100 now, and added other voting rights in addition to the three powers.

Craftsmen, merchants, farmers, apprentices......

It has become a multi-power meeting.

This allowed many commoners who did not have a title of nobility to participate.

The substructure of the kingdom is reconciled, but it will damage the rights and interests of the above.

A new aristocracy like Cecil's family was one of the gainers.

The king's multi-power council system greatly promoted the participation and enthusiasm of the new nobles and commoners, and people were more willing to contribute to the kingdom.

As long as you are willing to fight, sacrifice, and give, then His Majesty will not treat you badly.

Therefore, the Cecil family was promoted from the original merchant family to the new aristocracy.

It was all because of His Majesty's policies and their contribution to the Kingdom.

For this reason, Cecil's family did not have a shortage of dead.

At the same time, they also paid a lot of money, on the one hand, to support the construction of His Majesty, and on the other hand, to dredge up relations.

After a decade-long operation, Cecil, a merchant, finally reached a position where he could be looked down upon by other nobles.

North Diamond Tully, South Kincecil.

It's about two of the most important business aristocrats.

Now, it is highly likely that all of this will be dissolved with the resumption of the old Three Powers Conference.

How could this not make her feel anxious.

"Don't worry, Mother." Annabel laughed, "In my opinion, history will not go backwards, there are too many interests involved." We're not the only ones who benefit, there are quite a few new aristocrats, and many of them have great economic power. ”

She thought for a moment and continued, "Sometimes force is a kind of power, politics is a kind of power, but how is money not a kind of power? ”

Hearing her words, Margaret's eyes suddenly lit up.

This kid always sees things thoroughly.

Much smarter than when she was younger.

"Yes, we don't want to give up, and the other families won't give up."

"So, something that is too heavy and rotten should be replaced by something fresh and full of life." Annabel stepped forward, "I wonder if this is also an opportunity, an opportunity to push those rotten and heavy things." ”

"How?" Margaret's eyes sparkled.

"I've heard a lot about the New Chosen One." Annabel lowered her eyebrows and said quietly, "Especially at the grand private meeting after the Chosen One ceremony, what he said didn't look like a remark of his age at all. He has a long-term and deep vision that may be able to help us. ”

"Huh?" Margaret's expression was a little surprised, "He has always been known as the [Chosen One of Doom], I didn't expect to get such a high evaluation from you?" ”

As to how she learned the details of the Grand Private Meeting, Margaret did not inquire or doubt this.

Annabel has her own intelligence network, and it is also relying on well-informed information that has brought the family to where it is today.

In her own words-

Money can do anything.

Annabel smiled faintly.

"So luck doesn't mean anything. We didn't get to where we are today by luck, did we? ”

She held hands and stood respectfully behind Margaret.

"If the Chosen One can oppose the resumption of the Old Council of the Three Powers, and if the Divine Envoy can abdicate and make way for the Virtuous, then—"

She chuckled slyly, "Maybe there will be a new national parliamentary structure." ”

"What do you mean?" Margaret was still a little too old to understand her words right away.

"I will set off to meet the Chosen One, and at the same time, I will be the most important help for him in the future."

Annabel took a step back and bowed slightly to Margaret.

"Mother, you are here waiting for my good news."
