At the table, everyone was in an uproar.

The sound of discussion and ear-to-ear exchange was endless, and all that was talked about was about William's entry into the Earl and his appointment as provisional governor of the province of Haiman.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened to everyone.

In the direction of the four gates, there was a thick pillar of light that three people embraced, piercing the night and shooting into the sky.

Immediately afterward, the pillar of light spread and split, turning into a huge square wall of light, enveloping the entire palace.

Although the pillar of light was bright, it was not dazzling, quite soft, like the light of fireflies at night.

Everyone in the palace was locked up in disguise.

Everyone, suddenly fell silent.

Many of them had never seen a square array of light before, but they were familiar with anomalies.

Since the founding of the Holy Spirit Empire, in the history of more than 700 years, including Charlemagne, a total of nine emperors have been born.

And every time the prince inherits the throne, the palace will open this magic array: the Aurora Barrier.

The Aurora Barrier is a magic array known for its defensive power.

In the era of Charlemagne, the dwarves, elves, and orcs united, and after getting rid of Charlemagne's main force, they sent elite divisions to attack Canaan Province by sea.

At that time, the Aurora Barrier was opened in its second form, firmly guarding the imperial capital for three days and three nights, giving Charlemagne enough time to return to defense.

In the same way, the transfer of power, the replacement of military power, the succession to the throne, etc., of each emperor of the Holy Spirit Empire, was completed under the opening of extremely wide barriers.

Obviously, what His Majesty Charles IX is going to talk about next is definitely about the choice of the prince for the throne.

The candidate for the position of prince can be deposed or changed. But now that His Majesty Charles IX is old, once the candidate for the prince is decided, it will not be a few years before the new emperor.

At this moment, everyone felt the solemnity of the atmosphere, and no one discussed the matter of William's ordination before, and all of them held their breath and focused on His Majesty Charles IX.

His Majesty Charlie, who was already full of gray hair, stood up with the supreme jewel scepter and the support of the captain of the court magician beside him.

His cloudy gaze made contact with the tens of thousands of eyes present, and he said without a smile: "I think you already know what you are going to talk about today." ”

Everyone listened attentively, for fear of losing a single word.

At this time, while everyone was not paying attention, the three princes sitting in the front row suddenly glanced at the captain of the court magician beside His Majesty Charlie.

The captain of the court magician looked at him faintly.

The young Fifth Prince's face was calm, but there was a trace of nervousness and uneasiness in the depths of his eyes. He turned his head slightly and looked at the old man in white wearing a crystal crown on the seat opposite.

The old man in white ignored it, but tapped his fingers twice on the low table. It's a code sign that everything is ready.

The young Fifth Prince was relieved.

"Now, I will announce the next prince of the Holy Spirit Empire and the candidate for the throne. ”

His Majesty Charles retracted his gaze, looked at the old man in white in the front row of the seat, and said, "Pope Pansdo, I hope you can do your best to assist the new prince." ”

The old man in white immediately stood up and bowed: "I will definitely lead the Church of Light, do my best to assist the new prince, and do my best. ”

His Majesty Charles nodded slightly, and then looked at Chancellor of the Exchequer Rondoses.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Rondoses immediately came out and also paid his respects.

"The Financial Secretary is still in charge of you, and your official position remains the same. His Majesty Charles said bluntly.

Rondoses took a reassuring pill, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly thanked him.

His Majesty Charlie rolled his gaze to a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

As one of the few remaining generals of the empire, although his military position is on par with that of the Pécs family, General Carlo, his real power is much greater, and he is the number one person in the emperor's political department, and he has military power in his hands.

At this moment, the middle-aged general also came out of the ranks and paid homage.

His Majesty Charles continued: "Your official position has been reduced by one level, and the new Secretary for Military Affairs will be the Duke of Monro. ”

The Duke of Monroe did not hurry out and paid homage.

After that, His Majesty Charlie transferred a lot of important positions, either demoted or promoted, some people were happy and some were worried.

The transfer of middle and high-level positions, the original team will naturally be excluded in disguise, although His Majesty Charles IX did not know, but undoubtedly acquiesced to this matter.

For a while, people were panicked.

Interested people found that all the people of the Three Princes' faction or the Five Princes' faction were more or less transferred to their original positions, some of them were promoted and secretly demoted, and some were directly dismissed or replaced.

On the contrary, those who are neutral have not changed their positions very much.

Gradually, the faces of the third prince and the fifth prince became a little embarrassed.

Although His Majesty Charles did not explicitly announce the new crown prince, there is no doubt that from his tone, many people felt an abnormal atmosphere.

I'm afraid that this new prince is not the third prince, nor the fifth prince.

This idea is so shocking that many people are shocked in their hearts, but they dare not show it on their faces.

Many pairs of eyes were secretly transferred to the calm and calm Fourth Princess. But soon, everyone shook their heads again, His Majesty Charlie would not give the throne to a woman to inherit no matter what.

Even, many people secretly speculate whether His Majesty Charlie is hiding an illegitimate child?

This speculation is not impossible. The former Majesty Charles V is the illegitimate son of His Majesty Charles IV,

At that time, the court factions were chaotic, and wars broke out frequently among foreign clans, and when His Majesty Charles V, who was an illegitimate son, suddenly stood up, everything unexpected inherited the throne.

Gradually, as time went by, more than a hundred people knelt down in the open space under His Majesty Charlie's head, and the number continued to increase.

It was at this time that a group of Praetorian Guards, dressed in fine armor, came out of the dark shadows. Wearing swords, spears, and shields, they looked solemn and walked in a uniform manner.

The number of Praetorian Guards is more than 20,000, which is almost the entire garrison in the entire palace!

Many people are in fear.

"The transfer of positions, let's go here first. ”

His Majesty Charles IX handed the fold in his hand to the captain of the court magicians behind him, and finally ended the long transfer of positions.

His cloudy gaze swept over everyone present, and his expression was not angry and arrogant.

The man who was still sitting in the seat suddenly got up with a hula and knelt down in a large area of the clearing, waiting to announce who would be the prince of the throne.

Tens of thousands of people knelt down and worshipped, and the scene was spectacular.

Then, apart from the Praetorian Guards, the court mages, and other armed personnel, there was one other person who did not bow down.

The Holy Spirit mutters to Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, Anne Charlie.

She walked up to the kneeling crowd with a calm face, performed a standard court etiquette, and bowed slightly towards His Majesty Charlie.

A smile appeared on His Majesty's face.

He opened his mouth and was about to make a deposit, but the next moment, his face changed drastically, and his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked down at his chest.

It's a hand.

A bloody hand.

A hand that ran through his chest, through his heart, and took his life. (To be continued.) )
