Chapter 25: An Unusually Smooth Succession of Thrones
Sevini was stunned for a moment: "Why do you ask that?"
Xu Yi spread out his hands: "Isn't this a common problem? When encountering this kind of thing, I think crying is a normal reaction, and it's also a matter of course, isn't it? And generally speaking, crying is very good for people." β
Sevini looked at Xu Yi with a complicated expression, and shook his head slightly: "No, I have long lost this qualification, and your question is meaningless to me." Xu Yi, since you're here, let's discuss the matter. Now that my father has passed away, and my eldest brother has taken over the throne according to his father's will, I think...... You and your new flying chamber should probably do some preparations in advance......"
Looking at Sevigny, who wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile.
"Your Royal Highness, from what position are you warning me?"
"That's it...... Let's assume it to be a friend's standpoint. Severny sighed softly. "Because I am no longer the royal highness you call me, and in a while, I should not be the lord of Bonta City. β
Xu Yi stared at Sevigny: "In other words, are you going to accept it completely?"
"Why not?" said Sevigny, smirking wryly. "My father's greatest wish in life is to make the whole kingdom rich and strong, and I don't want to ruin my father's hope by plunging the whole kingdom into turmoil like it did more than ten years ago. β
Xu Yi sighed and shook his head slightly: "Your decision will disappoint many people." β
Severny glanced at Xu Yi: "Is that also yours?"
"Yes. Xu Yi nodded.
The smile on Sevigny's face was even more bitter.
"It seems that you are no different from those people after all. Because I can't ascend to the throne and bring you the desired benefits, you will be disappointed in me. β
"Nope. I'm not disappointed in you because of this. It's about your ...... Stupid disappointed. Xu Yidao.
Hearing Xu Yi's straightforward evaluation. Sevini couldn't help but be stunned, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"Stupid? maybe. But compared to your expectations, I feel that this decision is the one that lives up to my father's expectations. Since my father has already chosen the eldest brother, of course I should support him, rather than plunging the kingdom into turmoil just after my father's death. β
"I understand your thoughts, but I still have to say ...... The idea is very stupid. Xu also said unceremoniously. "Sevigny, leaving aside the doubts hidden in the death of His Majesty the King and his legacy. Do you really feel ...... His Royal Highness Prince Eric's ascension to the throne is good for the Kingdom of Lampari?"
Sevigny frowned deeply, and said to Xu Yi with a stern expression: "Xu Yi, although I regard you as my friend. But I must solemnly warn you that I do not want to hear any doubts about Eric from your lips in the future. It's disrespectful to him and disrespectful to me. β
Looking at Sevigny, who had a serious expression, Xu Yi sighed.
"Well, I'm not going to discuss these issues with you anymore. But Sevigny, are you going to the city of Anwemar for the funeral of His Majesty the King?"
Sevini suddenly raised his eyebrows: "What? Do you want to be like those people and persuade me not to participate?"
"Nope. I'm not going to give such impersonal advice, and I know you won't take it. Xu Yi shook his head. "But I really hope ...... You...... Be careful. β
Sevigny smiled slightly: "Don't worry. I've made up my mind, there's no way my big brother is going to do anything to me at this time. β
"I hope so. Xu Yi shrugged. "Well, I've seen countless tragedies in the history books when thrones change, and this time the kingdom of Lampari was able to make a smooth transition under the wise decision of Sevigny, which may indeed be a good thing for the whole kingdom. β
Severny smiled heartily for the first time since they met.
"Xu Yi, you are the first to say this to me, or do you know my mind best. β
Xu Yi smiled and was noncommittal.
After a pause, Xu Yi said again: "Since you have made a decision, then I have not affected your qualifications, I only hope that you can properly handle the future affairs." As for me...... As you said, I may need to do more to prepare than you do. Because of the predicament that I and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are facing, maybe it will be much stricter than yours. β
"Don't worry, I've communicated with my eldest brother, and he promised me that I won't embarrass you, so you don't have to worry. β
Xu Yi looked at Sevigny, who had finally regained his usual warm smile, and sighed in his heart.
Why was Severny, who also grew up in a royal family, able to maintain such an innocent character?
If he is as naΓ―ve as Sevigny, I'm afraid the final result will be that there will be no scum left......

Although Lampari XIII's illness had been reported early on, and his final death was not too surprising, the change of throne and the transfer of power due to his death still made many people worry that the Lampari Kingdom would fall into turmoil and chaos as a result.
After all, before this, the battle for the heir to the throne between His Royal Highness Prince Eric and His Royal Highness Princess Sevigny had almost become a fact on the surface, and many nobles in the kingdom had even been clearly divided into two factions to support the two of them.
Now that Lampari XIII has passed away suddenly, everyone fears that there is a high possibility of a fight between the two sides in the kingdom in order to compete for the throne, and there may even be a civil war in Yan ZΓ²ng.
However, this fears were dissipated by a public statement by the princess of Sevigny.
In this public statement, published in the daily newspaper Bonta Daily, the princess expressed her strong support for the legacy of Lampari XIII, supported Prince Eric's accession to the throne, and said that she would immediately resign as Lord of Bonta City, and at the same time resign from all her positions related to the specific affairs of the kingdom, including the important seat of the kingdom's parliament.
And after the public statement, the princess did exactly what she said in this statement, and after the public statement, the princess only appeared in public at the funeral of Lampari XIII. After that, it disappears in front of everyone. No more news about her can be obtained.
Because of this series of actions of the princess of Sevigny. Coupled with the same statement of Prince Miham, Prince Eric complied with the last orders of Lampari XIII and ascended the throne very smoothly, officially becoming the new king of the Lampari Kingdom, which also made the entire Lampari Kingdom completely subside the fear of civil strife.
This is undoubtedly a very good situation in the eyes of all.
Being able to smoothly carry out the transition to the throne is undoubtedly the best news for the Lampari Kingdom.
There is no trouble with civil strife. With the current development trend and speed of the Lampari Kingdom, it will definitely develop rapidly in a short period of time and become a truly powerful kingdom!
###
Three months after the lavish funeral of the previous king, His Majesty Lampari XIII, the city of Bonta had already emerged from the atmosphere of grief and panic that had permeated the whole process, and was beginning to be enveloped in the heat of early summer, and the whole city was steaming hot.
Although there is now another city lord in Bonta City, so that the previous city lord, Her Royal Highness Queen Sevigny, has served as the city lord for even less time than the previous Earl Stark, not even a year at all, but in these few months, the new city lord has not been as everyone in Bonta City feared. Like Earl Stark, he implemented the policy of suppressing commerce and rejuvenating agriculture.
As a result, the city of Bangta is still as noisy and lively as it used to be. It was even more prosperous than it was before the death of Lampari XIII.
Seeing that summer is approaching, for household magic machinery, the best-selling season of the year is coming, and the various chambers of commerce that produce household magic machinery in Bangta City have already made great efforts to start vigorously promoting their own various household magic machines.
Among them, there are many brands of magic fans, especially magic fans.
In addition to the new Flying Magic Fan, which is of course the most talked-about brand, there are now as many as 17 magic fan brands in Bang Ta City.
Because the magic fan is the earliest product of the new flying chamber of commerce to transfer technology, and the technical content of the magic fan is not too high, so after several years of development, other brands of magic fans are not much different from the new flying brand magic fans in terms of quality and performance.
In addition, the price is much lower than that of the new Fei brand magic fans, so the sales of these magic fans are not bad now.
It may not be visible in Bang Ta City, but outside of Bang Ta City and several surrounding cities, other brands of magic fans have begun to quietly seize a lot of the market, and are gradually able to compete with the new flying brand magic fans.
In addition to the magic fan, this year, many chambers of commerce have begun to develop and produce refrigeration magic air conditioners, magic freezers, magic refrigerators and other household magic machines that are very suitable for summer use according to the technology transferred by the new flying chamber of commerce.
Although the products of other chambers of commerce and the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are much worse in all aspects of these household magic machines, because of the low price, they have also gained a certain market in other places.
As a result, although it has entered the summer, the factories of the major chambers of commerce in Bonta City are working at full speed all day at this time, constantly producing all kinds of household magic machinery.
The roads that connect Bonta City are almost always filled with a large number of freight magic machines and freight wagons that have not yet been completely replaced.
Whatever it was, it was loaded with a full load of goods, which departed from Bonta City and was transported to other parts of the kingdom of Lampari, and even beyond the kingdom of Lampari.
For example, the Duchy of Stantin, for example, the Duchy of Drac, for example, the Duchy of Ruersun, and even the Kingdom of Sark......
In addition to the land transportation that the Fairson Carriage and Horse Company is mainly responsible for, because of the opening of the Sanlang Canal, the river transportation in Bonta City has also become increasingly developed.
The Porter Chamber of Commerce now has as many as thirty-four large cargo ships and seventy-three small and medium-sized cargo ships, which are now very popular with the major chambers of commerce in the city of Bonta because of their ease of loading, and these 107 cargo ships are able to fill their cargo almost every day through the GuΓ² Sanlang Canal, the two most important rivers in the Lampari Kingdom, and transport goods to every city connected by the river.
"I think my father would be very happy if he could see such prosperity with his own eyes......
A sigh rang out on the banks of the Sandy River, not far from Bonta City. (To be continued......)
