Chapter 99: Abdication
Unfortunately, Freya doesn't have a fundamental solution to this problem.
However, she gave a temporary solution for the space program, that is, the satellites of the new flying chamber can be shared with the Lampari Kingdom, so that the Lampari Kingdom will not be too far behind the two empires or other countries in space communication, detection, etc.
Prince Raymond was interested in this solution, but he still couldn't give Freya a definite answer.
"I can't hide this from my mother, and I'm not sure she'll agree. "Prince Raymond was helpless. "But I can try to go back and talk about my mother's tone first, and if she won't stop me strongly, then we can talk about it then." ”
"So let's do it first. Freya shrugged.
Prince Raymond sighed, glanced at Freya's bright and moving face in the night light, and his heart moved, and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked yet, why did you suddenly come here this time?"
"Isn't the Kingdom of Angela officially announcing its surrender to you, such an important matter, of course I want to come and see it for myself. Freya replied with a relaxed face.
Prince Raymond didn't believe that Freya had come all the way to the palace of Angela, and chose this time just to see it.
And looking at the appearance of Freya in Angela's palace just now, it is clear that she came with a hidden identity.
Originally, as the president of her Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it would be a VIP courtesy to go to any country, but now she deliberately hid her identity, obviously with other plans.
But Freya wouldn't say. Of course, it was not convenient for him to continue asking.
The two chatted a few more words about the cooperation project between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Lampari. Freya said that this was the end of the meeting. Drove Prince Raymond out of the car.
Watching the magic car driven by Freya disappear into the darkness on the other side of the river like a ghost, Prince Raymond smiled wryly and touched his nose, thinking that his half-sister was much happier than his Royal Highness the Prince.
With her current status as the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, she can still do things according to her own heart, but she must obtain her mother's consent to do everything, and she is very restricted.
It is even said that Xu Yi has always told Freya that as long as she is unwilling to do it. You can resign as the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at any time, and Xu will not interfere.
And what about him? His Royal Highness, the only prince of the Lampari Kingdom, determines that he must be the next king of the Lampari Kingdom.
But this also means that he can't hide from such an important responsibility.
"If I become the king and have the power, then I just have to take responsibility, but now that my mother is in control, what can I do?"
Prince Raymond sighed softly, straightened the expression on his face, and turned to walk back to his own motorcade.
###
Half a month later. A not-so-well-known chamber of commerce in the kingdom of Lampari has reached an undisclosed agreement with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Not many people know about the content of this agreement. But what's involved is quite important.
According to the agreement, the chamber of commerce will lease a total of six artificial satellites from the new flying chamber of commerce, and implement signal sharing with the new flying chamber of commerce.
After that, the new flying chamber will also help the chamber launch two satellites of its own, and provide a series of related equipment to ensure that the chamber has the ability to operate the two satellites.
Because the agreement was signed in a very secret situation, this news is not too interesting.
But a month after that, the Lampari Kingdom broke a piece of news that attracted the attention of the entire Sainz continent.
Her Majesty Queen Sevigny, after she ascended the throne and ruled the entire Lampari kingdom for thirty-nine years, suddenly announced her abdication and passed the throne to her only son, Prince Raymond.
This news made everyone very surprised and confused.
Although Her Majesty Queen Severny is indeed over sixty years old this year, which can be regarded as an advanced age, she has always been in good health, and there has never been any news of any serious illness, according to everyone's estimates, she can continue to rule the Lampari Kingdom for at least ten or even twenty years.
But now there is no turmoil within the Lampari Kingdom, and the outside has just conquered the Angela Kingdom, and when the momentum is at its peak, why did Queen Sevinj choose to abdicate?
There are also many people who suspect that Prince Raymond secretly rebelled and forced Queen Severny to abdicate.
But this speculation has been scoffed at by many people.
Queen Sevinj has been in charge of the Lampari Kingdom for so many years, and has developed the Lampari Kingdom from a small country on the southwest border of the continent to a powerful country that now occupies a large area of land in the southwest of the continent, and is very important in the entire Sainz, and can even compete with the two empires.
Coupled with the fact that during her reign, the Lampari Kingdom has developed rapidly, and the lives of the people have improved significantly every year, which is in stark contrast to before she came to power, so Queen Sevigny's prestige in the Lampari Kingdom is unparalleled and unmatched.
Even if Prince Raymond had rebellious thoughts, who would want to follow him?
Besides, he is the only son of Queen Sevigny, and he is the undoubted heir to the next king of the Lampari Kingdom, he doesn't need to worry about someone snatching his inheritance at all, he can wait for Queen Severny to grow old, and then inherit the throne logically, so why do such an extremely risky and rebellious move?
Despite any speculation, the transition to the throne of the Lampari Kingdom went very smoothly.
After her abdication, Her Majesty Queen Severny will appear frequently in the first three months to participate in various national policy formulations, but after that, she will appear less and less, and her participation in political affairs will be reduced a little bit.
Eventually, after a transition period of about half a year, Queen Severny disappeared from the public after announcing that she "can safely hand over the Kingdom of Lampari to Raymond", and no one has been able to find out her whereabouts.

Xu Yi looked at Sevigny standing in front of him with a strange expression, and didn't know what expression to use to deal with for a while.
"Hey, Xu Yi, what's this expression? Don't you welcome me here?" Sevigny smiled brightly, and his face was relaxed.
"Why aren't you welcome...... Xu Yi shook his head, pulled over a chair beside him, and motioned for Sevini to sit down. "I'm just weird, why did you come all the way to me when you didn't stay in the Lampari Kingdom?"
The place where Xu Yi and Seviny are now is neither the Sainz Continent nor the Demon Cloud Continent, but a small island in the endless sea where Xu Yi's family lives in seclusion after being carefully selected by Steele.
This small island is not far from the space island, about 400 kilometers apart, but it is more than 6,000 kilometers away from the Sainz mainland.
Severny suddenly crossed a distance of more than 6,000 kilometers and appeared in front of Xu Yi, how could he not be surprised.
"What's so strange about that?" said Sevigny. "I don't believe you don't know the news that I've abdicated. ”
"I know, I know, but it has nothing to do with you suddenly running so far away, right?"
"Of course it does. I'm not Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Lampari anymore, and according to you, I'm unemployed and have nothing to do. Well, it's normal to come and see old friends when you're idle, anyway?" said Severny.
"If you really wanted to see me, you didn't have a chance before. Xu Yi rolled his eyes. "Run over now, aren't you afraid that I'll kick you out as if you're here to eat?"
Sevini couldn't help laughing: "Xu Yi, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still so funny." ”
"yes...... I haven't seen you for years......" Xu Yi stared at Sevigny and suddenly sighed softly.
Severny fell silent as well.
She said that the two had not seen each other for many years, but she did not say it casually.
In fact, as early as more than a decade ago, the two had drastically reduced the number of times they met in reality.
Later, they didn't even communicate with long-range magic very rarely.
Xu Yi has been busy with things on the Demon Cloud Continent, and he has no chance to contact the Lampari Kingdom, and the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Kingdom is also in the hands of Freya and the others of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so Xu Yi has nothing to do.
The best chance for the two to meet was three and a half years ago, when Xu Yi returned to the Sainz continent to attend Heinze's funeral in Bonta City.
However, in that full five days, Xu Yi did not take the initiative to meet with Sevigny, and Sevini did not rush over to meet Xu Yi as soon as before, and the two missed it again.
"To be precise, counting today, we haven't seen each other in reality for eight years, seven months and twenty-one days. Severny said softly. "The last time we met, it was because of Camila'......s 100th birthday."
Xu Yi didn't expect Sevini to remember the time so clearly, and after being stunned for a moment, he sighed: "If it weren't for Grandpa's birthday, I wouldn't have invited so many guests, and we might not have met." ”
Sevini glanced at Xu Yi and sighed faintly: "You know, even Raymond's wedding four years ago, you didn't participate, just let Freya appear as a representative." ”
Hearing a hint of resentment in Sevigny's tone, Xu Yi smiled bitterly: "No way, at that time, the affairs on the Demon Cloud Continent were at the most critical juncture, and I really couldn't get out." ”
"So you can't even attend your son's wedding?"
Xu Yi was shocked, and his eyes widened suddenly, staring at Sevigny. (To be continued.) )
