Chapter 648: Envoys of the Two Countries

When Benjamin hurried to the gate of the palace, he saw the envoys of the two countries standing there, fighting with each other, and the palace guards on the side looked at a loss.

"At this moment, your country specially sent someone over, what kind of thoughts do you have in your heart?"

Our Majesty is the Queen's own brother, and now that something has happened to Ikor, isn't it normal to send someone over to take care of her?"

"Your Excellency is really good at laughing......"

Benjamin was speechless and hurriedly walked over to stop them. When the two messengers saw Benjamin, they had no choice but to shut up one after another, turn their heads, and greet Benjamin in a stammering manner.

"Alright. Benjamin didn't bother to talk to these people any more, waved his hand to interrupt them, and continued, "If there is anything to do with the two messengers, let's come in and talk about it." ”

When the envoy heard this, he naturally did not object, and followed Benjamin to the main hall of the palace.

In the main hall, the president was already waiting there. He had just had a little discussion with Benjamin, and at last decided to meet with the envoys of the two countries.

It is clear that both countries have the same purpose - to come for Ikol. Now there are a lot of gossips outside, like the death of the queen and so on. And if the queen does die, according to the law, the two people who are most qualified to inherit Ikor are the king of Carretus and the princess of Fredon.

And the queen's sneak attack on the academy has long been known to the world. There is no doubt that Ikor's current chaos is inseparable from the Academy of Magic, with which the two countries have had some cooperation before. Therefore, they unanimously sent messengers.

Maybe it's to fight for inheritance, maybe it's to find out what's going on...... In short, the involvement of the two countries has further complicated the situation for Ikor again.

But from the beginning of its establishment, the Academy of Magic has been purposed to concentrate on cultivating magical talents and not to participate in international disputes. After all, he was beaten by someone else this time, and it is understandable to be involved, but if Benjamin shows any bias in this, it will be very bad for the reputation of the college.

Therefore, they could only meet with two messengers.

"I am the president of the Mage Guild. I wonder what the two of you are going to Regina, what is the important matter?" shook hands with the envoys in turn, and the president stood in the center of the hall and asked.

When the envoys of the two countries heard this, they looked at each other and seemed to be a little reluctant to speak.

"You don't have to worry so much, just ask. Presumably, when the two countries send people over at such a time, I am afraid that they will not just come to reminisce about the past. ”

After a moment's hesitation, Freden's messenger asked, "Of course there is a reason. Only, let me ask you what has happened to Ikor lately, Your Majesty...... Are you still alive?"

Hearing this, the president exchanged a look with Benjamin.

"Your Majesty...... She was momentarily bewitched by the Church, attacked the Academy, and after the failure, she fell ill. For now, I'll take care of Ikor's affairs for the time being. ”

"Is that so, and how serious is Her Majesty's illness?"

"It's hard to say. His Majesty may not be able to support it, but as long as he survives the most critical moment, he will survive and perhaps regain his health. ”

The president did not say anything full, and everything was ambiguous, which was also to facilitate the response to the next unexpected situation. After all...... What will happen to Ikor in the future, this is something they have not yet thought about.

At the same time, the messengers wanted to test their situation, and they could test the attitude of the two countries with such words.

"I see. The Emissary Freden nodded, and said, "In that case, I mean, in the unfortunate event that Her Majesty dies, you should also be prepared for the future of Ikor, right?"

...... Finally got to the point.

"What do you mean?"

The envoy thought about it, and no longer detoured, and said unusually directly: "The old king of the empire wanted to pass on the throne to the second prince when he was alive, but it was only later that the incident happened suddenly, and there was a split. In the unfortunate event of the death of Her Majesty the Queen, Her Royal Highness Princess Freden has the highest right to inheritance. Therefore, we believe that you should give more consideration to this aspect. ”

Hearing this, the president and Benjamin exchanged another look and didn't say anything, but the messenger of Carretus on the side had already been unable to hold back.

"What are you talking about? Who the old king wants to give the throne to, ten years ago, there was no debate, and you have made up your mind today?" he glared at the envoy of Freden, and said, "The descendants of the second prince are still too young to bear the heavy responsibility. His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen are brothers and sisters, and in times of crisis, it is natural to share more responsibilities for their own sisters. ”

"The eldest prince's political performance is mediocre, the old king was not optimistic about him during his lifetime, and now Carretus is not necessarily how well he is governed, or Her Royal Highness the princess is more worth looking forward to. ”

"What princess, Your Royal Highness? It's just a group of old guys who control the government and want to use the royal blood to usurp the throne?"

"That's enough! You don't want to spew blood......"

Seeing that the two messengers were about to fight, Benjamin shook his head helplessly. The water elemental realm unfolded, and the wind whipped up by water vapor pulled the two of them far away.

"Please be at ease, two messengers. He spoke slowly and said, "As the head of the Academy of Magic, maybe I shouldn't have spoken up on such a matter, but after all, Her Majesty led an army to attack our Academy, and I have a position to speak on behalf of the Academy on this matter." ”

The two messengers took a deep breath, calmed down with each other, and nodded towards Benjamin.

"That's natural, and no one will have any objections to it. ”

Benjamin continued: "In that case, I think this matter needs to be considered in the long term. Her Majesty is only seriously ill and has not yet died. Even when she's dying, we should respect her own opinion, shouldn't we?"

"This ......"

"Two envoys, I understand your feelings, but such an important matter is definitely not something that can be hastily decided today. Would it be good for you to go back first, so that Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Majesty the King should not act rashly?"

Benjamin's intention to delay was already obvious, and it was impossible for the two messengers not to see it. However, they could not say anything against it. After all, even the Queen's army had been wiped out at the Academy of Magic, and the reputation of the young mage in front of them had reached a terrifying level.

Before sending them out, the upper echelons of both sides must have specifically instructed them to say things like "don't mess with Master Benjamin". Therefore, they are really unresolute in their attitude towards Benjamin.

“...... Since Gen Benjamin has said so, so be it. However, I think we will continue to be concerned about Her Majesty's well-being. ”

Eventually, they nodded, disgruntled but helpless and left the place. Benjamin looked at their backs as they left, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

They've bought some time, and now it's time for them to think about what to do with Ikor right now.

"I will try to search the nobles of the country to see if anyone has the right to inherit. The president said slowly, "It's just ...... I advise you not to get your hopes up, and even if we find such a person, if Fredon and Carretus are resolute, it will be difficult for us to put that person in place. ”

Benjamin nodded: "I understand. ”

"So...... What do you think?"

"Let's stabilize Ikol's situation first. Benjamin's face was solemn, and he said slowly, "Whether it's Freden or Caritus, they are not enemies of the mage by any means, and I am only worried about the church now." ”
