That night, the president prepared a national proclamation and sent it out early the next morning.

The proclamation announced that Her Majesty was terminally ill and passed away last night at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve. The queen had no one to inherit her throne during her lifetime, so before her death, she entrusted the country to the president of the Mage's Guild and several ministers. After their deliberations, they decided to invite the monarchs of Fredon and Carretus to Regina.

After the announcement spread across the country, for a while, Ikor talked about it. People mourn the death of the queen, but at the same time, the Three Kingdoms have only been divided for more than a decade, and many people feel that maybe this will be an opportunity to rebuild the empire.

But in any case, it can be felt that people's resistance to the Academy of Magic is still rising, and even the overall impression of bringing mages in the country has declined. Many people believe that this is a conspiracy of the mage, killing the queen and then taking control of the government, and the officials of the whole country have been bribed by them.

As a result, there are signs of independence in all parts of Ikol.

A few days later, Fredon and Carretus responded, and the monarchs of both countries came to Regina in person. And after the news got out, the independent guy finally settled down.

"Empire...... Is it really going to be rebuilt?"

Although the people of Ikor love the queen, they are also full of nostalgia for the former empire.

And in the halls of the royal palace in Regina.

"What the hell is going on?"

The king looked at the president and asked suspiciously. He didn't find Benjamin in the entire hall, and he was actually called back halfway after he had only left Regina for a few days, and he was also very confused.

The president nodded to him and General Stewart beside him.

"Because of the death of Her Majesty the Queen, Ikor has no one to succeed him. Therefore, after considering His Majesty's will, we have discussed a way for the two of you to jointly govern Ikor. ”

As soon as these words came out, the delegations of Fredon and Carrets were in an uproar.

...... What does this mean?

How can two countries jointly administer a country? Whose territory is Ikor so unclear, it is better to cut the place in half and get one for each person!

The king was even more confused. Was this Benjamin's idea? Or is there something else going on here?

"I know you must be all confused, but our three countries are originally from the same origin, and the division is only a problem for more than ten years. The chairman immediately explained, "Therefore, I am here to propose that the countries sign an alliance agreement and establish an alliance of the old empires. And the ownership of Ikor is also under the alliance, and the two of you will send people to manage it. ”

Hearing this, the representatives of both countries frowned deeply.

Alliance?

"Freden has long had nothing to do with the Hesson royal family, and the warlords have controlled the whole country. I refuse to form an alliance with them. The king said at once.

The president said, "If you refuse to form an alliance, you will be deemed to have renounced the inheritance of Ikor and all power will be completely transferred to the monarch of Fredon." ”

"You ......"

The king clenched his fists and looked furious.

"Your Majesty, think of what the old king taught you. The president looked at the king and said slowly, "Although the old king has often been disappointed in you in the past, the empire is divided...... This is something he doesn't want to see, even if he turns into a soul. You will make an alliance and no longer fight with each other, and perhaps the soul of the old king will rest in peace. ”

The king took a deep breath and fell silent.

General Stewart, who had been silent on the side, also spoke at this moment: "The Kingdom of Horry is watching from the sidelines, and I have no opinion on forming an alliance. It's just that...... What kind of management law is the so-called co-management?"

The chairman replied: "The representatives of the two countries will alternate in power for a period of four years, and they will rotate among themselves. ”

Hearing this, everyone once again showed a confused look.

This system ...... Is it really operable?

"What if this guy tore up the Treaty of Alliance during his reign and forcibly occupied Ikor by all means?" asked the King at once, "and even if they did not tear up the Treaty in the open, but secretly made some small moves, it would be enough to make our country suffer a lot of trouble when it takes over." ”

The president nodded and said, "Of course we have considered this kind of problem. Therefore, while the two countries alternate in power, we also need a monitoring mechanism that is independent of the country. ”

"Oversight mechanisms?"

"That's right, a council of judges from all countries. We will guarantee that there will be an absolute equal number of mages from Freden and from Carretus within the Council. They will supervise any actions of the two countries in the administration of Ikor and have the right to prevent any violation of the Covenant. ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

They can also see clearly the purpose of doing this—the participation of legitimate mages in politics. Although in the past, the mage has always been inextricably linked to politics, at least he has never come to the forefront. And now, they clearly intend to use the moment to come to the forefront.

In a sense, this is to divide Ikor's dominion into three parts, one for Freden, one for Garretus, and one for the mages of the Three Kingdoms. This system makes them feel very weird, but at the same time...... But I can't seem to find anything wrong.

"What kind of structure is the so-called Adjudication Council?" General Stewart asked suddenly.

"There are one hundred and fifty members in the entire council, fifty mages from each of the three kingdoms, and your representative mages are appointed by yelves. The president explained, "The mages who represent Ikor are chosen by our Mage Guild. ”

"Wouldn't that be the equivalent of the Mage Guild deciding the direction of Ikor?"

"Of course not. The chairman shook his head and immediately said, "The ruling council only has the power of oversight, and cannot directly participate in politics. All policies and decisions are still taken by the representatives of the two countries in office, and we have no right to prevent them as long as there are no violations of the Treaty. ”

Hearing this, everyone fell silent again.

Sounds ...... It does seem to be a very reasonable system.

Although for them, the two countries take turns in power, this kind of thing is too fantastic. But in such a situation, it is really difficult to come up with any other solution. Even if Ikor were to be divided in two, how to divide the border would become a matter of contention. Whichever side gets a little more benefit, the other side will definitely make trouble to the end.

Alliances with each other, four years for each country...... Seems to be the fairest situation.

The king was still somewhat reluctant.

If he agreed, it would mean recognizing Freden's usurped regime, and leaving a large part of the empire in the hands of outsiders. He didn't want to accept it all.

The idea...... Did Gen Benjamin come up with it?

After pondering for a long time and asking for more details about the rotation of government, in the end, both he and General Stewart replied with "to be considered". Then they turned and left the palace, and when they returned, apparently to have a good discussion with the minister on the matter.

The president looked at their departing backs, shook his head, and sighed faintly.
