When people began to pay attention to the little prince Arthur, they found that he had been strangled to death in his bed, with a few bruises on his neck, and there were traces of struggle, and it was also seen that his struggle was completely useless, and did not leave any useful clues.

At this time, corpse spots began to appear on the young corpse, and dark red cloud-like color blocks appeared on such a cute and handsome little boy, making Zai feel both regretful and sad, and several ladies could not accept this result, and sobbed quietly.

According to the coroner's analysis, his death occurred eight to ten hours ago, when the two princes began their duel, and that was the moment when the palace guards were at their weakest.

The death of an important member of the royal family in the palace was an extremely serious security incident, if it had happened in the era of the Crimson Emperor, I am afraid that half of the palace guards would have lost their lives as a result, and now Prince Tumen, as the spokesman of the royal family, has only taken a team of Praetorian Guards guarding the little prince into custody.

The reason is very simple, this palace does not have an owner, and it is not appropriate for anyone to be in charge of this matter. Little Arthur is dead, announcing that he is out, people are turning their attention away from him, and there is no heart to hold a memorial service, the most important thing at the moment is to establish a new king, otherwise, the whole state apparatus will fall into further weakness due to internal strife.

When it comes to succession to the throne, we have to look at the succession order.

Charles the Great has a total of seven sons, the eldest prince Ryan, the second prince Henry, the third princess Elsa, the fourth prince Weining, the fifth prince Roque, the sixth prince Simon, and the seventh prince Arthur.

Except for the second prince Henry, who died young, the other six heirs all successfully obtained the right to inherit, and their order from high to low is: Ryan, Weining, Arthur, Elsa, Roque and Simon.

Following Ryan's death and Wei Ning's transformation into a devil and escaping, the death of Arthur Jr. presented a problem for the royal family, with the first three heirs losing their inheritance rights one after another, and the remaining three heirs: Elsa, Locke, and Simon.

Roque and Simon are in a similar situation, they only have a theoretical possibility of inheritance, because their mothers are from the people, one is the daughter of a small town clerk, and the other is the daughter of a down-and-out baron, the family does not have any strength, once they are put on the throne, they are likely to be held hostage by the powerful ministers and become a puppet, which is something that the royal family never wants to see.

If Roque and Simon are excluded, there is only one choice left, but Elsa is a princess, and there has never been a precedent for a woman to be the king in the Wagland continent.

So, the situation went into a difficult situation.

The three princes, together with the royal family, convened their ministers to discuss a plan for the succession, and the result was a whole day, and the discussion continued until midnight without stopping, the palace was sealed off by the Praetorian Guard, and the main hall was brightly lit, and the eyes of the whole city were gathered there, waiting for the moment when the results would be known.

The Prince of Wales' residence, inside the courtyard of the Thousand Pieces.

"Charlie, the day before yesterday, I saw you turn over a few cards one after another, one is stronger than the other, I looked stupid, that battle was almost a head-to-head duel between you and Wei Ning, it can be said that you defeated a devil army in a dignified manner, that is a battle situation that many people can't imagine!

How many secrets are you hiding!Why are the Sunset Elves at your advantage?Where are they hiding?What's going on with that portal?" In the most familiar and private place to herself, Qian Zhu finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

With the relationship between the two of them, of course, they can talk about these topics, after all, Charlie has exposed these cards, and if he doesn't ask, then there is a ghost in his heart!

Charlie said in a deep voice: "Some things are more complicated and really difficult to explain, but I want to emphasize one point, I am the pioneer knight of the Welsh family, and any hole cards I have are beneficial to the Welsh family and can be used by you." ”

Qian Jue raised his hand as if he was innocent, and said, "Okay, you don't want to say, and I won't ask much, but when my father asks, I guess you still have to reveal some information, otherwise how can you explain to them the huge traces of war on White Rock Square? ”

"So, I also need you to help me cover up, the hole cards are only hidden in the hand, they are hole cards, once the cards are revealed, they lose their meaning. ”

Qianqi smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, who made you my brother?" But you can't make it too ridiculous, my father is not a fool, lying is much more serious than not telling, you must understand this. ”

Charlie nodded silently.

Qian Zhu paused, and said: "Don't look at the discussion in the palace is not over yet, but I am sure that the inheritance has been basically determined, and now the issue of implementation may be discussed, if the public accepts this result. ”

"Oh, what do you say?" asked Charlie, curious, as he didn't know much about the rules of the Imperial Power Game.

"My father told me before he went to this meeting that there are two most likely succession options at the moment:

First, Elsa broke the laws of history and became the first queen of the thousand-year-old empire;

Second, the eldest prince's mother, Queen Fanny, adopted either Roque or Simon, and the chosen prince joined the Struj family, gained the support of this family, and was successfully promoted to king, which was considered compensation for the eldest prince. ”

Charlie narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is this okay?Doesn't the Stuart family have an opinion?Why didn't Princess Pamela adopt a prince and become the king's mother?!"

Qianji smiled bitterly: "You have grasped the crux of the matter, the strength of the Stuart family has not been weakened in any way, the resources and strength they have at their disposal are no worse than those of the Stuy family, and their opinions will definitely affect the determination of the successor to the throne."

Therefore, the first option is the most likely, estimated to be more than 80% likely.

In fact, it is also a good thing for us that Elsa is the queen, after all, she has a good relationship with you! Charlie, I am looking forward to assisting the new queen with you, and it is also time for our young generation to shine, let us work together to support the greatest empire of the human race!"

Charlie paused, shook his head and said, "Qianju, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." ”

Qianzhu asked, "What's wrong?"

Charlie frowned and asked a question: "What do you think is the key to the success of the alien invasion?"

Qian Zhu thought for a while and said, "It should be the strength comparison between the two planes! The stronger the invading side, the greater the probability of success, in addition, there is another problem that needs to be considered is the cost of plane teleportation, with these two favorable factors, there is a great possibility of success." ”

"You're right, the big gap in strength and the low cost of operation are the truth in any field. But what do you think is the key to success if I add some constraints to this question? For example, the plane cost is extremely high, and the other side cannot transport troops on a large scale, what do you think is the key to success?"

Chiki fell into deep thought.

Charlie didn't wait for him to answer, and said the answer himself: "The cost of plane transportation pulls the difference in strength between the two sides to a close level, then, the role of intelligence becomes very important, the devil itself is good at playing with people's hearts, when a person who is familiar with the customs of the Wagland continent and the plane power structure joins the devil's camp, what will happen?"

They will find the quickest way to infiltrate the native world, disintegrate and divide the native forces, stir up confrontation, and ultimately achieve the goal of controlling the plane. ”

Qianju's brows tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Then shouldn't we unite around the new king? If it is true that Aisha becomes the new emperor of the thousand-year empire, my father will become the person that the queen relies on, we will have better opportunities than others, and with the country as the backing, you can mobilize more resources and more energy!"

Charlie muttered: "It's not that I refuse to be loyal to the new king, I have my own plan, I won't stay in Raphael City, I will continue to operate the port of Hennes and train my own corps, you also know that Wei Ning hates me to the core, I have to always be on guard against his revenge!"

Qianji couldn't help sighing, knowing that he couldn't convince Charlie, he really hoped that Charlie could stay in Raphael and fight with him, with Charlie's ability, with his Princess Aisha's origin, he could rise in a short period of time and become the backbone of the new generation, Charlie's choice to leave Raphael is actually equivalent to choosing to stay away from the political core.

In fact, Charlie also has his own helplessness, and his hole cards can hardly be exposed: a half-plane comparable to a giant city, legendary talent, Zonderrick's civilization inheritance, any one of which moves forward is a weapon that can deal with the invasion of hell, but can these things be taken out and shared?

No way!

If you don't use these hole cards, can you fight against the devil just by relying on the resources of the operation plane? Charlie didn't believe this, he had already learned the power of hell from Eliza, the succubus royal family, and had a deep understanding of the strength of his opponent.

Moreover, Charlie also wanted to go to Lancang Country to have a look, which was also a place where he needed to keep secrets, so Charlie could only choose to isolate himself.

Qianju sighed: "Don't rush to make a decision first, think about it for a few more days!"

At this moment, bright magical fireworks suddenly burst into the palace, and in the dark night sky, they were brilliant and colorful, eye-catching.

Then, the voice of Prince Tumen, the spokesman of the royal family, was transmitted through magical broadcasts set up in various public places.

"Now I announce a national-level news, after discussions between the royal family and cardinals, Princess Elsa has been unanimously selected as the sixth king of the Millennium Empire!

Princess Elsa is young and promising, not only has the beauty of the country, but also the wisdom and charm that ordinary people can hardly reach, her broad vision provides her with very creative new ideas, the success of the Millennium Magic Report and Today's Alchemy Report, and the success of the first Magic Creativity Competition, which proves her ability.

Dear citizens, many of you may have heard the news that the death of His Majesty Crimson has plunged the Empire into an unprecedented crisis, with external and internal troubles.

Taking advantage of our temporary ownerless predicament, the Church of the Holy Blade is aggressive and proposes to annex most of the Western Frontier and the Western Fortress, and they are tense.

Prince Ryan and Prince Weining were anxious to deal with these problems, and proposed a duel, which took place yesterday, and unfortunately ended up together, at a critical moment, there were dark forces fishing in troubled waters, taking advantage of the chaos to strangle Prince Arthur, causing our thousand-year-old empire to lose its best three heirs, and the fortunes of the country were in jeopardy.

At this critical juncture, Princess Elsa has bravely stepped forward to fulfill her brother's unfulfilled wish to pledge our allegiance to the Queen on this special day.

Tomorrow, Her Majesty will be crowned, declaring her sovereignty over the Terrans' largest empire, the Millennial Empire. Let us follow the queen in the glorious era created by the Three Saints of the Millennium, with the tradition of heroic justice, and plant the banner of the Millennial Empire in every corner of the Wagram Continent! God bless the Queen!!"

Woo-la!

In the sudden explosion of magical fireworks, the whole city was in a boil.
