The day has finally come.

In the main hall of the palace, the entire Falkenrich officials in important positions stood solemnly with their hands down, as if waiting for some important news to be announced.

What is different from the past is that today many officials came very together, except for the three nobles, almost all the officials and nobles who were eligible to participate in the court meeting arrived. Iroh was no exception, standing in an inconspicuous corner with his eyes slightly closed, with an unpredictable smile on his lips.

I don't know how long it took, but a heavy footstep gradually came from behind the main hall. After hearing the footsteps, the officials were slightly straightened, subconsciously held their breath, and looked at the entrance behind the main hall.

Soon, the figures of the three nobles, a prince and two princesses appeared in front of people's eyes.

"Your Majesty...... It's gone!"

Duke Hopes declared with a sad look on his face.

Before the words could be spoken, Duke Tuttle and Marquis Alec both knelt down, and the three members of the royal family also bent down deeply.

There was a low exclamation of exclamation, and then they all knelt down to express their condolences to the old master—but in this way, no one could detect the different expressions on the faces of Hopps and the others.

The grief on the face of Duke Hopus, who was nominally the most important minister, did not seem to be fake, but when he confirmed that no one was looking at him anymore, the original look of grief distorted slightly, turning into a strange expression that was neither crying nor laughing.

Duke Tuttle's face was also full of grief, but he was the first to get up, and the first thing he did after getting up was to stand behind Prince Asaph.

The Marquis of Alec seems to be the most normal, his sad look is the lightest, but he is relatively indifferent by nature, and he is not afraid of being seen.

As for the three royal children, their expressions are even more interesting: the eldest prince Asaph is more suitable for ecstasy than grief; the second princess Enid has no sadness on her face at all, if she is not willing to bend over, she is afraid that she is simply a passer-by at this moment; the third princess Bella is much better than her brother and sister, but her face is also far more expectant than sad.

All this was not hidden from Iroh's eyes. Although his observation power mainly relied on vision, even if he knelt down with everyone now, the super blindness of being a dragon also made him clearly aware of it...... Filled the palace with a somewhat disgusting malice.

Mankind...... Hehe.

Before a thought could be finished, Hopps' voice drew everyone's attention again.

"Everyone!" he exclaimed, "a country cannot live without a monarch for a day. Now that His Majesty has left and he has not left a will during his lifetime, why don't we elect a new king as soon as possible, get the country's affairs back on track as soon as possible, and then make good plans for the old king's funeral?"

Duke Hopes had a point. ”

Before everyone could speak, Prince Asaph stepped forward and said in a firm voice: "Now that we have rebels in Falkenridge and a feud outside the Duchy of Stasi, we must not give them any chance. I am willing to inherit my father's will and lead this country to prosperity!"

"Although His Royal Highness the Prince has some shortcomings, he is brave and courageous, and I approve of him as the new king!"

Duke Tuttle nodded as well.

Bella's heart suddenly went cold.

With her eyesight, how could she not see that the three of them were taking the opportunity to create momentum, and before many officials could react, they would create enough momentum. In this way, even if there are opponents, for the sake of the two dukes and a prince, they have to think twice!

And my father will not have a will? I'm afraid that it has been ruined by you!

It's a good calculation, but I'm not going to let you succeed easily!

Thinking of this, Bella smiled and spoke: "The two dukes have elected the royal brother, it stands to reason that I, as the third heir, should have no opinion, but ......"

She looked at Asaph and pointed casually to the outside of the hall: "Courage is important, but it is not good to have courage without strategy. If Brother Wang leads the army, I would agree, but as a king, why don't you tell me how you plan to deal with the rebels and Stasie?"

Asaph lost his voice in an instant, and his face turned a little red. Bella is worthy of being his sister, and it can be said that the person in this world who knows him best except for the old king, of course, knows that there is nothing he can do at all.

Over the years, he has always believed in the supremacy of force, so he almost doesn't care about anything except cultivation, anyway, as the first heir to the throne, he is very sure of winning the throne, so why do you still think about this?

As for how to solve the problem? Aren't there still three nobles, let them have a headache. and so on, and then find a way to clean them up!

On the other hand, Bella did not give the two dukes a chance to speak, her voice was slightly hurried but did not lose the stability of the princess.

"If the strongest could be king, the country would have been in chaos for a long time, wouldn't it? Don't forget that Brother Wang is not even a legendary powerhouse now, and Grand Duke Jon of Stacy is said to have started trying to break through the legendary realm last year!"

"And what advice does Princess Bella have?"

Hopps took advantage of Bella's respite and immediately asked, "Look at the princess's meaning, is there a solution?"

"Naturally. ”

Bella's expression became awe-inspiring and inviolable, and she casually took out a stack of documents from the spatial ring: "I left the court when I was very young, and I went around looking for strange people and strange people, and looking for ways to deal with these two great enemies. What is recorded here is the reform measures that I have summed up over the years in light of the situation and reality of the two countries. ”

"In addition," she said, turning her gaze to Iroh and then moving away, "I have also searched for potential children all over the country in my private capacity, secretly nurtured them, and trained them...... If I can inherit the throne, I believe that this new batch of blood can revitalize the country again!"

The words immediately made many officials discuss. Most of them only knew that Bella had traveled since she was very young, but they didn't expect her to achieve such great results in secret.

Hoppers frowned, he naturally saw that the situation was beginning to tilt towards Bella, as an old fox who had been in politics for many years, he immediately made a decision in his heart: "Wait!"

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, it's not that the old minister is disrespectful, it's just that what you said before is empty talk, and we can't see potential children, your reform measures ...... For a while, I am afraid that it is difficult to verify whether it is really the result of years of painstaking research, or whether it was written out on an improvised basis. ”

In the end, his tone could be said to be quite wanton, and he even looked directly into Bella's eyes: "As the henchman of the former king, the old minister must be responsible for the entire country!"

"Yes, Bella, it's good that you have this heart, but you're still too young. Asaph hurriedly chimed in, trying to give her age and seniority a second try.

"Heh, Duke, you're working hard, too. ”

Suddenly a sneer interrupted Hopus, who wanted to continue, and it turned out that Alec also stood up at some point and walked behind Bella: "I just don't know how thick your skin is, so you can say such things without changing your face?"

"You!"

Hopus's expression changed drastically, although the officials present basically knew what they usually did, but this kind of words were tantamount to a slap in the face, and only Alec dared to say it in this country.

And many times, knowing and saying it are two different concepts entirely.

"No real results?"

Bella was also prepared, and was not afraid of Hopes's aggressiveness: "Okay, I'll come up with a little result...... Iroh!"

"The minister is here. ”

Iroh smiled and walked in front of her.

"The Special Security Forces are ready to serve Her Royal Highness. ”

"Wait, Special Security Forces?"

"Could it be the one who has become very famous in the royal capital recently......

"So, my daughter is still an admirer of one of the members, is her name Will?"

Iroh's words undoubtedly dropped a bombshell, and people couldn't help but talk a little louder. No way, the special security forces can be said to be the number one hotspot in the royal capital now under the operation of Bella and Alec, and the children of some officials are even fascinated by this organization, and it is impossible for them to think about it or not.

Moreover, with the efforts of Carlyle and others, Wang Du is indeed much more stable than five years ago.

For a while, many officials of the conscience faction subconsciously sided with Bella. The reason is very simple, they have always behaved negatively, mainly because they have been controlled by the three nobles for a long time, but now the appearance of Ailo and the special security forces has given them a glimmer of hope.

If the monopoly of the three nobles can be broken, the country will be clear...... So it should be a good choice to stand on Princess Bella's side?

At the moment, there are not only one or two people who have this idea.

"Slow!"

Seeing that Hoppes was a little out of control of the situation, Tuttle, who had been silent before, stopped the discussion in a deep voice after exchanging a look with the former, his burly body and non-angry and self-righteous momentum were indeed very stable at such a time.

"In this case, Her Royal Highness Princess Bella is indeed a more suitable person, but-"

His words snapped, "I have one last question here. ”

"Oh, what's the doubt?"

Bella suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, but she still looked at Tuttle with a polite smile, "Duke, but it's okay to say. ”

"I beg your pardon," Tuttle said without hurrying, but knelt down first, "I'm afraid this will be a little unfavorable to Her Royal Highness...... However, as the pillar of the country, Lao Chen had to confirm it. ”

"Say, duke, I forgive you. ”

Bella's heart became more and more uneasy, and she couldn't tell what the other party was thinking for a while.

Then the old minister said bluntly. ”

Tuttle took a deep breath, stood up, and did not look at Bella, but at the ministers, "As we all know, Her Royal Highness the princess left the royal capital when she was a child, but she suddenly returned five years ago without warning, and began to plan a series of big moves, and the means and scheming shown are quite amazing......"

Hearing this, Bella's heart suddenly sank, she knew what Tuttle wanted to say, but it was too late to stop it at this moment!

"I have some evidence here that Her Royal Highness the princess standing in front of us now may not be the daughter of the previous king!"
