Since the departure of the Musa consortium from the imperial capital, each leader has only had business dealings with the imperial capital, so when Eric Moussa first asked to meet Albert, the latter was somewhat surprised. The content of the discussion was even more inexplicable to him - Eric said that a group of monsters spreading the epidemic were sneaking into the imperial capital.

Albert agreed to the request of the Musa consortium, and he just wanted to find out what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd of the young head of the family.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the eyeliner he had planted came back to report that Tyr Cyrus had brought a large number of monsters into the palace.

"Nice strategy. ”

Albert walked in front of Lin Qiu and praised: "You blocked their way, if they continue to attack these monsters, they will be facing the entire royal family, and you have taken advantage of Sophia's love for monsters." ”

He always thought that Lin Qiu was a smart person, which was like the other party comprehending the meaning of his eyes and words, and followed him alone. Yes, Lin Qiu is a smart man, but he is a smart man who loves to cause trouble, and Albert has no interest in his feud with the Musa consortium, but the actions of both parties have already involved the entire royal family.

If the Musa consortium were a group of outlaws, or if they had hired a group of outlaws, then even Sophia's safety would be in danger.

"I just wanted to remind you that these calculations are useless to truly fanatical lunatics. ”

Albert couldn't help but think back to the first time he heard about Lin Qiu.

No sane person would have a dream like him, nor would he turn the whole of Spitane upside down. At some point, Lin Qiu behaved like a madman, but the most commendable thing was that he was a sane madman, and he could always stop before he was about to break through the bottom line, so that the Senate regarded him as a thorn in his side, but could not find a good reason to deal with him.

And the bottom line of this matter is the safety of Henry's family.

He didn't want someone with the same blood as him to fall victim to some kind of struggle.

Before they knew it, the two had walked through the corridor of the palace and arrived at the open-air platform outside the house. At this moment, the moon and stars are scarce, and most of the people in the imperial capital are immersed in sleep, and a stone table is built on the open-air platform, and a map is spread on the table, which he ordered to be placed here after he succeeded to the throne.

The high royal palace, standing here, can see most of the imperial capital, Albert's ancestors built this platform with this high-spirited mood, Henry's family to look down on the world, to hold everything of Herlutia firmly in the palm of their hands. And this paranoid ambition has indeed been realized in his ancestors, and only years can seize the throne of Henry's family.

"I'm sure you've heard how the Henry family rose to where they are today. ”

Albert felt that this conversation should have happened sooner, but for various reasons he always struggled to find the right opportunity - "But there is a price to be paid for ascending to the throne." ”

In the eyes of outsiders, it was only the Henry clan who defeated Theopharan and drove them out of the imperial capital. However, the political struggle was far more complicated than it seemed, and in essence, it was not the Henry family that really controlled the Herlutian alliance until now, but the Senate.

After the Henry clan established its rule, the Senate made the following two demands:

Successive kings were not allowed to be knights, nor were they allowed to continue their lives and reigns in any way.

Successive generations of Henry's family were not allowed to enter the Senate.

Yes, they had a blood in them that even the Senate feared, and they were afraid that they would become Theopharan, and they did not want to see the Henry clan flourish and eventually shake their position.

Albert's words shocked Lin Qiu's heart.

"Doesn't that mean ......?"

"Who will succeed the throne of the fifth is predestined from the beginning, and when Richard and Sophia embarked on the path of knighthood, they were already destined to be destined for the throne, but my stupid brother is still in the dark, naively thinking that if he becomes a good knight and practices the way of knighthood, he can become a king. ”

Because of this, Albert never even saw Richard as a real competitor.

The information on both sides is completely unequal, when Richard was still in trouble with children of the same age because of swordsmanship, Albert had learned the way to be a king, and when he was Richard's age, he already understood what the Senate really needed - they didn't need a king who was as brilliant and brilliant as the first king, they needed a puppet who knew the rules and followed them.

Conveying the will of the Senate and ruling over Holutia in this way, each king was the equivalent of the Senate's microphone.

"And you should have seen it long ago, that the upright can be heroes, but not rulers—at least in Holutiah, and that the ascension of my foolish brother to the throne will be a disaster for all classes, and the inherent classes will undoubtedly be broken, and the nobles of the nations will be dissatisfied with the policies, and the only result will be if the plebeians have more power than them...... It's war. ”

Albert stretched out his index finger and pointed to the countries detailed on the map.

The map was full of his notes, and the content on one map alone was enough to make Lin Qiu secretly frightened - this map not only detailed the comparison of the national strength of each country and the distribution of troops, but Albert also divided the countries in more detail according to his own understanding.

Turbulent, unsusceptible, trusted.

These detailed contents were collected by him in the short period of one week at the King's Feast.

"I admire your talent, and your presence has made this battle for the throne a little more exciting. Albert smiled.

Before Lin Qiu appeared, none of the many nations dared to stand up and openly oppose his succession to the throne. For some reason, those people really had the idea that "maybe Richard could win." This is also the reason why the Senate began to be anxious, and they even did not hesitate to say that Lin Qiu carried out the ceremony of changing the throne in advance when he resolved the dispute between the Tarun Kingdom, nipped all possibilities in the bud.

"If I were to really side with the Senate, I would do whatever they wanted to get rid of you—and that's what they'd love to see, but my ambitions are always a little higher than the Senate expects, and the puppet king isn't my goal...... I hope that one day, those old men will no longer be able to dictate any of my decisions. ”

And the people who can help him realize his ambitions are standing in front of him now.

"But I don't need to form an alliance with you, the Senate is far more wary of you than I am, and you are far ahead of me in your confrontation with them, and such a position will give us an opportunity for cooperation. As you know me, I have never been a good man, so since you have chosen to involve the royal family, it is time for me to be paid accordingly - to find out for me the beginning and end of the rebellion nine years ago, and I wonder how they deceived the eyes of the Senate and the V...... Oh, by the way, keep it a secret from Richard for me, and let him continue this dream. ”
