"The king of this generation? Do you mean Hariton, the current king of the kingdom? Cecil instinctively asked, hearing this. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Yes, King Hareton killed his own father, the old king, and ascended to the throne." Ophelina said quietly.

Cecil was so shocked that his eyes almost didn't pop out: "How is it possible! Didn't the old king die of illness? "Whether it is his own cognition in this world or the background of the game in his own world before, Hariton's father, the old king, died a normal death, and this is the first time I have heard of Hareton's father-killing, which is really difficult for Cecil to accept.

"That's just King Hareton's statement, in fact, only a very small number of members of the royal family know about this matter, but the king has too much power, so no one dares to say it." Ophelina continued. "Even my father, no, even the big names at the level of Duke Fatam don't know about it." Ophelina was conceited when she said this.

"And King Hareton was the eldest son when he was a prince, and was regarded as the only heir by the old king at the age of three, and then gradually gave a lot of power, and has always been a very strong prince, the old king let him deal with the affairs of the kingdom when he was 16 years old, and when he was 18 years old, he already had a very large political power, and his younger brothers, those young princes, even in their twenties, can only be idle all day long, and there is no ability to threaten him at all, With such a consolidated position, what reason did he have to turn against his father? Cecil asked.

"Yes, you're right, logically speaking, the transfer of power will go smoothly. The old king also thought that the result of this was to wait for him to die safely, and the eldest prince could inherit the throne smoothly, but there was never warmth between the rights, and no one could think of the rest of the matter. When Ophelina said this, her expression was inexplicably excited.

Cecil suddenly thought of some cannibalistic political struggles in the world he was in, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"For example, since Prince Hareton is in charge of government affairs, who will assume the position of Prime Minister of the Empire? The old king naturally wanted to maintain his old personnel, and Prince Hareton naturally wanted to be replaced by his cronies. At the beginning, the old king would also tolerate Prince Hareton in personnel with the mentality of cultivating Prince Hariton, but things changed more and more troublesomely, and the old king gradually found that Prince Hareton even had to replace the people around him with his own people, and when the old king found that he had served him for 30 years, and his close servants who had been in love with him were replaced by Prince Hareton as his own confidants, he knew what a big mistake he had made. Speaking of this, even Ophelina couldn't help but sigh.

"But why is Prince Hareton so anxious to seize power from the old king? After all, the king has not passed away yet, even if he wants to control the government and replace the prime minister of the kingdom, but in the end, even the closest attendants of the old king must be replaced, isn't this equivalent to wanting to put the old king under house arrest? Is it necessary for him to do so? Cecil asked.

Ophelina smiled and shook her head: "A person in the position of a prince will always have a sense of insecurity, always have an infinite desire for power, of course, this also has a lot to do with people's character, Hareton is the kind of person with great ability and ambition, his ability and character magnify his desire for power in this position, our king's desire for power and means are not something you can imagine." “

Cecil understands this statement, there are people in this world who have unlimited ambition and desire for power, to be honest, after staying in the upper echelons for a long time, even Cecil himself has a much greater desire for power than a year ago, Cecil also believes that he is not born a person with a strong desire for power, so Prince Harriton, who was born with a strong desire for power, is exposed to this environment, and it is not difficult to pursue and desire power with hunger.

"Even at this point, the old king is still patient, and the old king even wants to abdicate directly and pass the throne directly to Prince Hareton, thinking that in this way, he can completely get away from power, meet the full demand for his son, and maybe repair their already scarred father-son relationship." Ophelina said sarcastically, obviously disagreeing with what the old king had done.

"If that's the case, then Prince Hareton has no reason to trouble the old king." In fact, Cecil admires the old king a little, generally speaking, even father and son are really difficult to do this step, as a king can hand over power and even the throne, Cecil can really not think much, this old king is really very rare, to this step, Cecil really can't figure out how the father and son turned against each other.

"It's good that things in the world are as wishful as you think." Ophelina laughed sarcastically, and she had done this to Cecil several times today, as if she was constantly laughing at him, a hillbilly who didn't know anything about power struggles. Cecil could only smile back awkwardly. Quietly listened as Ophelina continued.

As Harriton's younger brothers continue to grow older, their requirements for entering the kingdom to participate in court politics are getting higher and higher, which is not an excessive request, it is basically a convention, and this does not threaten the status of Prince Harriton, who is already in power, but Prince Hareton can't bear it, and has made a severe blow to this, the specific method is to find a random reason to kill the second prince His Royal Highness Ron, that is, the only half-brother who is only one year younger than him. As a result, the other younger brothers saw Prince Hareton so thunderbolt that they no longer dared to mention their participation in court politics. At this, even Ophelina shuddered a little.

Cecil never thought that Prince Hareton would be so ruthless, in fact, the requirements of several princes are very normal requirements, they just hope that there is a job belonging to the prince to match their prince's identity, and become a duke in the future to obtain a fief, this is not impossible, there will be no place that affects his power at all, but Prince Hareton actually made such a ruthless move, this is too frustrating, Cecil really can't figure out why he did this, suddenly thought, He can't be possessed by some evil god!
