This demon warrior contained magic power when he spoke, so his voice was loud, which made Su Yang's ears buzz.

Su Yang couldn't help but glance at Princess Caterina, but found that the princess still had a serious expression and didn't show any discomfort in her ears at all.

Su Yang admired Katerina a little in her heart, she was just a high-level magician, and Nagreus's voice must have put a lot of pressure on her, but she was stunned as if she was fine.

After Nagreus finished speaking, the whispers of the ministers sounded in the hall, and Nagreus waited for a while, but no one expressed his opinion, he coughed lightly and said, "If you all have no objections, then I will declare the princess to succeed to the throne." ā€

"Hey, wait a minute. At this moment, an old man who looked to be in his sixties and had a very serious head walked into the middle of the council hall.

Su Yang noticed that in the middle of the black ground of the council hall, there was a white stone mother parquet with a diameter of about five meters.

Officials would leave this place open when they stood in line, and this place was used by ministers to speak and discuss politics.

You can talk about politics when you stand here, and shut up when you leave here. This is the rule set by the king of Shanli, so when the pot-bellied old man walked up to the stone mother, he was ready to speak.

"The first king re-established the order of succession last year, and Prince Ceras is the first-order heir, why does the national teacher propose a second-order heir, Princess Caterina to succeed him?"

As soon as the minister's voice, which was only at the level of an intermediate magician, fell, Su Yang noticed Nagreus and frowned slightly.

Nagreus touched his white beard and said in a deep voice: "Minister of Defense, you must also know the reason for the death of the king, Prince Ceras's assassination led to the death of the king, according to the laws of our country, the rebel has no right to inherit." ā€

Only then did Su Yang understand that this magic level was not very good, but the old man with an arrogant face turned out to be the Minister of Defense of Shanli. But what made Su Yang strange was how the Minister of Defense could let someone who only had the level of an intermediate magician take the role, it was really strange!

In fact, this is because the defense minister of Shanli has always been a relative of the emperor, and this man named Ingham is the elder brother of the second queen of the old king.

Ingham's family is an old nobleman in Shanli, and they have strong strength in their own right, and it is precisely because of this that the old king will choose a new queen in their family.

Ingham has been in the rank of intermediate magician for more than thirty years, but his career has never stopped, since his youngest sister became queen, he has to go to the queen's almost every day to say goodbye, and with his unremitting ability to pat horses, he finally climbed to the position of defense minister.

As a queen, Ingham naturally did not want Caterina to inherit the throne, but the news of the prince's assassination of the king was true, and he was thinking about how to debate in order for Prince Thalas to inherit the throne.

This old fellow with average work ability, but very good at scheming, knows that whether or not his family's glory can continue depends on today's debate.

Ingham sneered and said: "The matter of the prince's assassination has not been investigated in depth, and it needs to be interrogated in detail.

Nagreus expected that someone would talk about this, so he asked the captain of the Royal Guard, who had been waiting for a long time, to come out and say, "Captain, tell me more about what happened." ā€

So the captain of the guard repeated in detail what he had told Nagreus. Ingham asked quietly, "Do you have any other witnesses besides him?"

Negreus said: "You have also heard, at that time Her Royal Highness Princess Caterina was also one of the witnesses, and then many guards and chamberlains saw it, and now the prince is being interrogated by the officials of the clan, and the matter is already clear, the interrogation is only to find out the motive, and the failure of the interrogation to be completed cannot be used as a reason to block the succession." ā€

Ingham rolled his eyes and said: "Even if the prince assassinates the king, it can't deprive the prince of his inheritance, the crime of treason is used on the courtiers, but it is not said that it is used on the future king, the prince is the first-order heir, how can you easily put the prince in prison." ā€

Su Yang listened angrily behind Nagreus, this Ingham was purely messing around, the prince killed the old king, his biological father, how could he still give him the right to inherit?

Nagreus chuckled and said, "Rebellion is tantard, how can you still have the right to inherit?" Ingham, do you think that a person who plots rebellion and treason can inherit the throne?"

Ingham was questioned by Nagreus, and was a little speechless for a while.

However, his mind spun quickly, and after only a moment's pause, he said with a look of inadequacy: "Although the prince's assassination was seen, no one saw the process of the assassination, so it can't be sure that the prince assassinated, right?"

Ingham's words were to the point, Nagreus was a warrior after all, and he was not good at debating, and the Secretary of Defense asked about the key point, and he was speechless.

"In this matter, although my brother is still under trial, the assassination is indisputable. ā€

Princess Caterina, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "At that time, there was no one else in the dormitory except my father and my brother, and when we went in, my brother and he... In his hand, he held his father's broken ice, which was covered with blood, and his father was already angry. ā€

Caterina actually has no intention of competing for the throne, but the situation has developed to such a point that she must inherit the throne, on the one hand, to stabilize the domestic situation, and on the other hand, to confuse the orcs in Bear Mountain.

Katerina paused, she looked at Ingham, and then said in a deep voice: "If this does not prove that my brother killed his father, I have to ask the Minister of Defense, how can I prove it?"

Ingham hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "Well, Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't mean to say that the prince's assassination is untrue, I just raise reasonable suspicions, after all, no one has seen the prince's assassination with their own eyes." ā€

The mid-level magician was so clever that he continued, "You think, the prince is only five years old, and he is the first-order heir, so why should he murder the first king? ā€

When Su Yang heard this, wouldn't it be that if the debate continued like this, there would be no result until dark, and I still had to collect the magic power of the magic circle!

You guys have nothing to do here, I don't want to, Wei Xiao and Ryerna are still waiting, those two girls are probably in a hurry now, really! Why didn't anyone come out to help the princess say a few words?
