Chapter 2 Results (2nd Monthly Pass)
Duke James, Earl of Seapine and other enlightened nobles looked at each other, and they all saw the opposition in each other's eyes, although Natasha had been to the Kingdom of Holm, but at that time she was still young and could not see political leanings at all, and her teacher "Divine Radiance" Beria was a member of the Cardinal Conference This fact cannot be erased, according to reliable information, she has been cared for and cultivated by the Church since the age of six or seven, and has become a devout believer, only a little better than Gordon.
"In terms of blood succession, Natasha, the Violet Countess, is the second in line to the throne after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and she is also a heavenly knight, a devout believer, so she is the most reasonable heir to the throne. Rex's face was stiff and his eyes were sharp.
Duke Russell stood up, shook his quill and said, "Speaker Rex, we all know this, but what are we going to discuss about it? That's because Her Royal Highness Princess Meredith, the mother of Countess Natasha, became a magician and automatically gave up the right to inherit the throne, that is, her children no longer enjoy this right." ”
Earl Seapine and Viscount Harrison looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and they and others, who were obviously inclined to the Magic Council, actually wanted to use magicians as an excuse to oppose them.
Duke Sorenfen said with a serious face: "If this logic is true, then citing this example, David will also have no inheritance." The inheritance of the nobility comes from the nobility of the bloodline, which can be enjoyed unless it is expressly deprived by the Code, and Countess Natasha inspires the purest sword of truth bloodline, which can be obtained directly from His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
Rex breathed a sigh of relief, and Duke Sorenfinh seemed to be okay with the result. So he said: "The reason why I held a meeting just now to discuss the candidates, instead of directly letting Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha inherit the throne, is because she is currently the sole heir of the Duchy of Vaorit, according to Article 5, Paragraph 3 of the Inheritance Part of the Code, if the heir has the inheritance rights of other countries and families and cannot be merged, then his own succession order will be lowered by one level, which happens to be in the same sequence as David and Gordon. ”
The Duchy of Vaorit was the center of gravity of the Church's northwestern defense system, and it was unlikely that the Church would agree to its merger with the Kingdom of Holm.
"Since the first two candidates have not been unanimously approved, there is absolutely no problem in proposing Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha. He has changed his name to Natasha as Her Royal Highness. Acknowledged her status in the royal family of Holm.
"Duke James. Duke Russell, what other reasons do you have for objecting? If not, we're going to vote. Rex said as he looked at the leaders of the Enlightened Sect.
Duke James and the others were caught off guard, originally they thought it was due to various reasons. Conservatives will ignore Natasha as much as they do. After all, Meredith's relationship with Hathaway is well known. He is also an extremely good magician, who knows......
No, women's inheritance rights are explicitly written into the Code.
Strength? The genius who became a Heavenly Knight in his twenties, and is expected to hit the legendary rank in the future, is more outstanding than any of them present.
No, apart from being a devout believer herself, Natasha has not been criticized for her own sake, and has never harmed the interests of the nobility of the Principality of Vaorit to curry favor with the church.
As for her will suppress the development of the Magic Council on the surface, prohibiting the promotion of magic radios, telephones, etc., that is something that cannot be put on the table, and it is impossible to openly claim that we are cooperating with magicians, if so, Rex is likely to suddenly turn around and let Salde come in to cleanse the fallen nobles who have been seduced by magicians, this kind of thing can never be done.
For a moment, the enlightened nobles could not find a good reason to oppose it.
Instead, Duke Sorenfinn straightened out the black and got up to ask, "Speaker Rex, I heard a rumor about Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha, and I hope to be able to get an explanation. She's rumored to be a close couple to Lucien Evans, the 'Fallen Angel', will she turn away from her aristocratic position and indulge the Magical Council to anger the Church?"
After Louise and the others came to the Kingdom of Holm, Lucian's identity was not a secret for a long time, and the nobles with a little knowledge knew that he was the great musician, and when he entered the first twenty of the purification sequence, all kinds of secrets about the great musician were also excavated.
Hearing Duke Sorenfen's question, James and the others suddenly took a breath, if this is the case, it is not so difficult to accept that Natasha is the queen.
Rex said calmly, as if he had been prepared, "I have received an explanation of this from His Excellency St. Salde, who was then the cardinal of the diocese of Vaorit, and has a complete understanding of the whole thing. Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha likes women, Lucien Evans is just a prop she uses as an excuse and a cover-up, the relationship between the two sides is not as close as rumored, and Her Royal Highness is also a very religious person, her former lover Sylvia was told by her that she was an apprentice in magic, she killed her without any hesitation. ”
"What?"
"That's why the most beautiful musician died?"
"It's no wonder that 'Dedicated to Sylvia' will be directly rewarded with a manor by Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha. ”
The nobles heard this secret for the first time, and it came from Cardinal Salde, who could not have lied about such a thing, and the audience was in an uproar, and all the doubts of the past were explained.
Count Seapine and the others now felt that they could not accept Natasha as the queen again, so he coughed and said, "Same-sex love is contrary to the teachings of the Lord, and it is impossible to give birth to offspring, such an inheritance is meaningless." ”
"That's just the preaching of some missionaries, the Lord just taught us not to indulge in lust, and the question of descendants, I think when inviting Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha to come to inherit the throne, I can explain in advance, requiring her to give birth to offspring as soon as possible, as for her private relationship with the prince, the actual lover or lover, we will not care, I believe that this small concession, she can still make it, if not, we will discuss other candidates. Rex's bright eyes looked around at the members of the House of Nobles, "If there are no other doubts. Let's proceed to the vote. ”
Duke Sorenfinh, one of the conservative leaders, was the first to raise his hand, he was not as extreme as Rex, he preferred a candidate acceptable to the church, the parliament, and the nobility, so as not to cause a division of the nobility, a civil war between the kingdoms, or a major conflict in the church council, which would cause the entire kingdom of Holm to decline, many cities in ruins, and the victorious nobles would not benefit much, and Natasha was undoubtedly such a candidate.
Duke Sorenfen's father was Winston the Nightcrawler, and his appeal to the conservative aristocracy was no less than that of Rex, and his raised hand immediately led to an arm erection. Then the nobles who supported Rex also raised their hands one by one. Soon two-thirds of all the numbers were reached, and Duke James and Duke Russell were grim-faced, ready to use the duke's veto power to change the issue to whether or not there was a current state of emergency. And this state of affairs involves a series of problems. Conservatives are not necessarily monolithic.
Suddenly. Viscount Harrison remembered something, picked up a quill and wrote a sentence on the paper, then crumpled it into a ball. Quietly passed to Duke James.
Knowing that he was worried about being overheard by the Golden Knights such as Duke Rex, Duke James did not blame him for doing more, but carefully unfolded the paper ball, and saw that it read: "Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha has a closer relationship with Her Excellency Hathaway than we imagined. ”
Duke James's expression became complicated, and after discussing it with Duke Russell, he suddenly raised his arm, which made most of the enlightened nobles startled, but they still chose to believe them and followed the raised hand.
A smile appeared on Rex's face: "Very well, the House of Nobles unanimously passed the bill to invite Natasha Vaorit, Countess of Violet, to come to Holm to inherit the throne. ”
He knocked the gavel down and said loudly in a crisp voice: "This meeting is over." ”
............
Watching the conservative aristocrats leave one by one, Duke James looked at Viscount Harrison solemnly and said, "I hope you're right." ”
"I can only gamble on it, and Rex looks well prepared. I will now report the results to Parliament, and the Supreme Council will decide whether or not to assassinate him. Viscount Harrison hurriedly took his leave.
In a secret room in the Nexer Palace, Rex respectfully said to the two old men: "Your Excellency St. Salde, Your Excellency Ketonia, according to your instructions, let Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha successfully obtain the inheritance. ”
"Good. Salde smiled peacefully, his eyelids drooping, covering his cloudy eyes.
............
On the thirty-fifth floor of the Alinge Magic Tower, in the meeting room of the Supreme Council, one of the twenty-four chairs is missing.
"We've discussed this before, and I don't think it's a good choice to make Beria's student the queen of Holm, and I'd recommend getting rid of it early. Vicente, Lord of the Revenant, said coldly, not glancing at Hathaway.
Vicente, who was well prepared, plucked himself from the events of Congus and provided ample evidence that Felipe and other Congos students were unaware of the demigod lich's actions, and saved them.
Several members of the Supreme Council nodded their heads, believing that both Natasha and Gordon should be assassinated to ensure that David was on the throne.
Hathaway looked at them coldly: "This is a matter of the Hoffenberg family, whoever meddles is my mortal enemy." Moreover, I believe that Natasha can be a just queen and will not be biased towards the church. ”
She is not very expressive and simply threatens directly.
"But how many people support you?" Vicente teased Hathaway.
"The Creator," Davey said lightly, "I trust Hathaway's judgment. ”
"You've all been eaten by dogs?" Without warning, the Storm Lord began to roar, "Assassinate Natasha, assassinate Gordon, are you going to put the nobles of Holm, Briana, Camelot, and Calais at risk? Salde will wake up laughing from his dreams, and then the nobles will completely fall to him! The seven epic knights of the four countries, plus the cardinals of the corresponding diocese, are twelve legends, and two are third-level, which is enough to restrain our development!"
was roared, and the other members of the Supreme Council couldn't help but turn their faces sideways, but most of them still secretly agreed, although Fernando was a little short-tempered, a little more difficult to get along with, and a little perverted, but he has always focused on the development of the council and will not be too selfish, he agrees with Hathaway, which proves that Hathaway's description of Natasha is true and credible, and blindly assassinating will indeed cause a backlash from the nobles.
"Fernando, what's your opinion?" asked Douglas with a smile, he was the least affected by the rant.
Fernando's bright red eyes glanced around at the others, making some members afraid to look at him: "At least Natasha is not a bad choice." ”
"Not a bad choice, well, I agree with that. Douglas prefers to believe Hathaway and Fernando.
Vicente was willing to object, but the matter of the demigod lich made him very passive, and his allies were unwilling to support at this time, so the Supreme Council quickly decided not to stop but closely observe Natasha's tendencies, and if necessary, to destroy or control them.
............
Leaving the conference room and returning to his study, Fernando saw Lucien pacing back and forth in a long black double-breasted gown.
"Teacher, how's the situation?" Lucien sensed the teacher coming in and quickly turned around to ask.
Fernando smiled and said, "Don't stop Natasha from taking over the throne, but it mainly depends on her own will, Vaorit and Holm are far apart, and she still has her father to take care of." ”
Then, he said earnestly: "Lucian, there is only so much that the teacher can do for you, and it is up to you whether you can turn the queen to bed or not." ”
Lucien smiled slightly red, and said embarrassedly, "It's hard, Natasha likes girls." ”
"That's a problem...... Fernando walked a few steps behind his back, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he opened the door of the half-dimensional space and walked in, leaving Lucien standing in the study puzzled.
After a while, Fernando came out with a belt with a beautiful pattern, and said triumphantly: "Sure enough, it's still there, the most outstanding achievement in alchemy in my youth, come, Lucian, wear it, and you will soon be able to become a loving couple with Natasha." ”
"What is this?" Lucien was very strange and did not dare to take this thing.
Fernando heaved and raised the belt in his hand: "Transgender belt, you can become a real girl when you wear it, Natasha has such a good relationship with you, the only obstacle should be gender." ”
Lucien didn't know what state he was, but he should be embarrassed and annoyed, so he said expressionlessly: "Teacher, this is my bottom line, I can't joke." ”
"It's really boring, I don't even want to make a sacrifice for love. Fernando shook his head exaggeratedly, purely teasing his students.
Lucien still looked at him expressionlessly: "This is not the point, the point is that when you were young, what did you want to refine the transgender belt for?"
Fernando's smile froze suddenly, and then he glared, "Someone asked me to refine it." ”
"Tsk......" Lucien shook his head in complete disbelief, "only the wrong name, no wrong nickname, no wonder they all call you a pervert, teacher." ”
"What kind of attitude do you have? Life is about trying, Lucien, I'm worried about the state of your life, it's pathetic for a man who hasn't tried anything. Fernando snorted and roared, driving Lucien out of the city. (To be continued......)
