Chapter 90: The Princess and the Prince
Panda is a good person, but he is not a gentleman with a square personality. On the contrary, as a martial arts person, he is very clear about the difference between relatives and distant relatives.
Martial arts people often have the "style of Ren Xia", the so-called Ren Xia, is only to talk about grievances, do not ask the king's law, in some people's sour words, called "chivalrous to martial arts" - fight to scrape, dare to pull the emperor off the horse. A chivalrous man dares to gamble with his life to fight for favor or hatred without regrets until he dies. And their style of doing things is very straightforward, they don't pay attention to any "rules of the game" at all, blood splashing five steps is their most common method, and the same end is their most common choice.
Although living in a peaceful and stable society, the panda does not only ask about grievances and grievances like the warriors of the old era, but for him, the latter does not have an absolute advantage over feelings and morality.
Not to mention, the character of the Black Prince Zion did not have a good reputation in the game at the beginning, and it will not make Panda feel immoral at all to deal with him for the sake of his friends.
Having said that, they have reached an important consensus: regardless of whether Marquis Alexander Weskes will be killed by the Black Prince Zion or not, in short, it is necessary to beware of this "Black Prince" first, and even attack the forces that attack him, so that he is not so capable of making trouble.
"And it's more beneficial for us as well. "After all, in politics, because of Jenny's relationship, I'm pretty much on the eldest princess's side." Although the relationship between the two sisters and brothers is still very good, and the king is in the prime of life, he does not need to worry about inheritance, but as time passes, the king will grow old, and the succession to the throne has always been an unavoidable big contradiction. ”
When the panda heard this, he nodded again and again. Pratt's statement made him very agreeable, the so-called precautions, since the princess and the black prince will sooner or later turn their faces in order to fight for the inheritance, then as a member of the princess faction, it is of course logical to take advantage of the current attack on the power of the prince faction.
The struggle for inheritance has always been one of the highlights of all political stories in ancient and modern times, and this time is no exception.
The current king of the Kingdom of Trera had two children, a son and a daughter. The son's name is Zion, who is 16 years old, and his daughter's name is Fisna, who is 17 years old.
Many years later, they each had two nicknames in the game, Zion's nickname was "The Black Prince" and Fisna's nickname was "Princess in Disguise".
The two nicknames have their own origins, Zion often wears black armor and rides a black horse, and Fisna once wore armor during the Thracian invasion of Trera, and spent many days on the city walls, never leaving her armor.
Of course, there are patriarchal situations in the Western Continent, but it is far less serious than in the Eastern Continent. According to tradition here, daughters are also heirs and also have inheritance rights. Historically, queens and female lords have emerged one after another, for example, in contemporary times, the king of the mermaid clan is a woman. If mermaids are a special case, then one of the largest nobles in Thrace, the Erantz family of the Duke of Storm, the current patriarch is also a woman.
Of course, when competing for inheritance, women do have to suffer a little loss. After all, women spend a lot of time and energy to have children, and if they want to have more than one heir in order to stabilize their position, this will not only greatly damage their own body, but also make it difficult to deal with complicated government affairs for months on end. It may be better to be a lord, but to be a king is somewhat reluctant.
Historically, the female king is either unmarried for life, or she is a peaceful son who can be ordered to be in danger, turn the tide of the tide, and have a happy marriage herself, and have children in her later years.
So...... Maybe the eldest princess Fisna didn't make it to become King Trera in the end, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
"I'm a little confused, though...... They are only twenty years old, and the battle for inheritance rights has already begun to emerge? The timing is wrong, right? We, the traversers, know the future, don't Zion know it too?" After listening to Pratt's introduction, the panda asked curiously, "Didn't the battle for the inheritance between the princess and the black prince only happened during the war between Trela and Thrace? Originally, with Fisna's identity and character, there was no struggle for the throne at all, and Zion's inheritance was still quite stable. I remember that it was because of the great success of the princess in military costume in defending the city and her great prestige among the people that the king and the nobles changed their minds......"
Pratt studied a lot of history in the game during this time, and nodded when he heard the words and said, "You remember right, originally Fisna herself had no intention of competing for the throne. It was only in the battle of the royal capital that the prince of Zion did not perform well enough, which made her worry that in the face of future turmoil and danger, her younger brother would not be able to protect the kingdom, so she joined the battle for the throne with the support of a group of enlightened nobles and civilian officers...... But there is nothing in the world for no reason, if she doesn't already have a certain prestige now, how can there be a future struggle for the throne?"
Panda thought about it for a moment and felt that he had a point. If Princess Fisna has been growing up in the deep palace, just like the princesses in stories such as "Snow White" and "Sleeping Beauty", and has nothing to do with military and politics, then why did she stand up and lead the battle during the battle of the royal capital?
Even if she is willing to stand up, others are not willing to obey her!
In other words, although it was still several years before the Battle of the Royal Capital, the eldest princess Fisna already had a certain prestige - prestige that would make the Prince of Zion feel threatened.
With the Black Prince's methods, since he sensed the threat, he must definitely try to eliminate it. He can't do anything to his sister, but he can do it to those who support him.
Especially...... Looking at Pret's attitude, Panda can roughly guess that he must be very positive and clear about "supporting Princess Fisna". At a time when the battle of the royal capital had not yet broken out and Princess Fisna was still inconspicuous, he could simply be said to be the vanguard of the princess faction. If the Prince of Zion wants to strike, of course he will start with him and the people around him.
"Wait...... I thought about it carefully, could it be because of your attitude that Prince Zion will attack Alexander?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say, "Your attitude of supporting Fisna should be quite obvious, and after you married Jenny, Alexander, as your father-in-law, naturally became a princess...... That's why the Prince of Zion will do something to harm him?"
When Pratt heard this, he was stunned.
Chicken or egg, that's the question.
