Chapter 149 Which one is nobler, is it by nature benevolent, or by trying to overcome one's evil nature
As Xiu Yin expected, in less than three days, Starlight City was much more "lively" again.
The lords of the four Dominions have gathered in the royal capital, and they have already begun to choose sides.
The Marquis of Fair has publicly stated that he will support the Grand Prince if anything really happens to His Majesty.
The eldest son, tradition, and in line with the glorious traditions of the Bernaventurs, is what the Marquis of Fell believed, and of course behind the Marquis of Fell is the power of the entire Dominion of Haidel.
The Marquis of Fair was the first to stand up and take a public stand, and Xiu knew that there were both advantages and disadvantages to doing so.
The advantage is that you can make your position public, and you can easily find allies.
Of course, on the contrary, it is also possible to bring potential enemies for yourself, after all, not everyone is in favor of the eldest prince, and not a few are against it.
The lords of the four major dominions, except for Marquis Ferdinand Lee, did not express any expression, and the other two lords were not willing to be lonely, and successively expressed their support for the second prince and the third prince after Marquis Fair.
In fact, there were several sons of Bernaventura IV, but in addition to the first few, the later princes were too young or too weak in character, and the first few people were really likely to inherit the throne.
Of course, Xiuin knew that there was also the fourth prince, Trogg.
I don't know why, Xiu Yin always thinks of this fourth prince in his mind.
"Maybe he's always on Tifa's side......"
Although it is not a valid reason, Xiu Yin can only persuade himself in this way, but Xiu Yin also knows that when he met the fourth prince for the first time, he saw a similar look to himself in the eyes of Trogg, who was also not very old.
"It's my unwillingness as the fourth prince!" just like Xiu Yin could only be the second son of the Neumann family at that time.
"But now it seems that the situation of the fourth prince is a little bad, because the three great lords have made public who they support, and the fourth prince doesn't seem to have the manpower to support him......"
After staying in Starlight City for a week, in the streets and alleys of the royal capital, you can already hear that the residents of the royal capital have begun to discuss the topic of the heir to the throne, and various rumors among the people have begun to increase.
Most of the rumors were about the eldest prince, and it was unfavorable rumors, and it was rumored that His Royal Highness the eldest prince Reims had already begun to deal with the political affairs of the country, although this was not allowed by Bernaventur IV......
Xiu Yin listened to these rumors with great relish, and in this kind of world where there is natural resistance to the transmission of information, rumors are really very useful, and sure enough, among the people, people's impression of the eldest prince has become lower, because the residents of this era recognize a person from filial piety as the most basic evaluation criterion.
The king is still there, and the eldest prince has acted like this, which is obviously disrespectful to the royal family laws and regulations, and disrespectful to his father, who is still sick in bed.
There are also many versions of various scandals about the royal family, and Xiu Yin combined the actual situation with his own analysis and judgment, and still got some more reliable information from them.
And it was also the information that Shuin was most interested in about the fourth prince Trogg.
Trog was not a prince, he was born to Bernaventura IV and the court maid in the palace, of course, the boy born to the palace maid was also a prince, and Bernaventur IV did not seem to be the kind of irresponsible man, so he promoted the court maid to the princess.
But despite this, Grogg's childhood was still bullied, after all, compared to other princes, Trog can only be regarded as a prince, plus in addition to identity, the bloodline of this era is also particularly important, first of all, the mother of Troger's three elder brothers is either the daughter of a powerful person or a princess of a royal family, which Trog can't compare at all.
Perhaps it is for this reason that among the adult princes of Bernaventura IV, Trog is not favored by any lord.
On the tenth day when Huin and Captain Cassel were already getting irritated, the news finally came from the royal capital that Bernaventura IV had reappeared in the public eye.
As the Marquis of Fair's bodyguard, they were fortunate enough to see this scene.
It was still in the central square, but this time Bernaventur IV was not walking out of the palace gates, but looking down on his subjects from the tower of the palace gates.
Huin looked up the gate, his silver pupils like a telescope, magnifying the bust of Bernaventus IV exposed by the battlements.
"His Majesty's face is very bad!"
Far away at the southernmost end of the central square, Xiu Yin could clearly see that the face of the king on the tower of the city gate was pale, and there was no blood to speak of.
However, there was some confidence in the voice that spoke, otherwise Xiu Yin believed that the king might really not survive this year.
The king's purpose in appearing on the tower of the city gate was simple, to let people know that he was okay, that the country belonged to him Bernaventura IV, and here he said it.
Of course, the appearance of the king also made these big lords who openly expressed their support very embarrassed, but surprisingly, the king did not mention this matter, even the slightest desire to understand which side they supported.
Xiuin frowned, and he realized that the king might not be as kind as he seemed.
If the king had remained silent on the matter, there was only one possibility.
The king is acquiescing in this!
Why?
Xiu Yin only needed to think of some ancient stories in his own world, and he easily got the answer.
Bernaventur IV is watching, acquiescing, observing, watching who among his sons is stronger, and only the strong will inherit his throne!
Xiuen also heard some interesting things, such as the battle for the throne this time, which seems to be somewhat similar to when he inherited the throne, twenty years ago, Bernaventura IV also defeated his younger brothers in a similar competition, and successfully took over the King's Scepter from Bernaventura III, which represents the supreme power of the Starlight Kingdom.
At the same time that Bernaventura IV was getting better, the decree of the Kingdom of Starlight was restored to its original state.
Moreover, Bernaventura IV made a lot of amazing moves.
The first is the aftermath of that assassination.
Here, too, Thuin rejoiced in Leo's decision, and Bernaventura IV did not spare the Novik family.
From the Marquis of Fair's report, Bernaventur IV ordered all the people handed over by the Marquis of Fell to be burned at the stake, and declared the "Moon Song Sect" an illegal organization, and ordered the whole country to arrest the cult's followers.
