Borrowing from Charlie's kitchen, Claire simply made some light food, and then called Erin down.

Charlie and the second princess finally relieved themselves after seeing that Erin was actually willing to eat.

Sitting around the table with Claire and Erin, they watched Erin eat her food one bite at a time.

Erin looked a little awkward, and said, "Don't look at me like this anymore, I can't eat anymore." ”

When the second princess saw it, she immediately took her gaze back, showed a reassuring smile and said, "Don't look at it, don't look at it, you can eat." ”

At the same time, he also gave Claire a complimenting look, thanks to you, otherwise she wouldn't want to eat.

Later, under Charlie's inquiry, Erin also gave a general account of what happened, although they had some predictions in their hearts, but they were still very surprised when they confirmed the news.

The second princess comforted: "It's okay Erin, if you don't want to live with us in the palace, Vito and Klee don't dare to embarrass you." ”

Charlie also chimed in: "Yes, with us, they will give us a little face." ”

"What about the succession?" Claire asked suddenly.

Charlie and the second princess were speechless in an instant, if one of Vito and Klee became the king, then the king's order was not something they could resist.

"It's brothers and sisters, they won't do too much......" When the second princess said this, she didn't have much confidence in her heart.

The royal family will not talk about any blood ties at all, on the contrary, they will fight because of the interests generated by the bloodline. Although Erin looks harmless to them, she can't guarantee what they will think when they take office, and Erin's best outcome is to be married off as a marriage tool.

Claire rubbed her fingers and asked, "What...... Which of them is more likely to succeed to the throne? ”

Charlie took over the topic, "On the bright side, the eldest prince has a better chance of winning, and before His Majesty died, there were many great nobles who favored him. But the strength of the second prince should not be underestimated, and he has also attracted a lot of nobles and can compete with Vito. ”

"So who is more likely to succeed to the throne, I don't know how to say."

Claire further asked, "What about your father?" Whose seat will the old Duke Charles stand? ”

Charlie was silent for a while, "As far as I know about my father, he will not stand alone, and when things progress to the second half, he will choose to stand when he can see who is the winner." ”

It's a smart thing to do, and it's a middle-of-the-road approach. Neither side is offended, and whoever is in power will not affect himself. But at the same time, it will also give a bad impression to the new king, and it will not be good for the subsequent development of the family. And sometimes even if you don't want to stand, you will be forced to stand, such as Klee, who hates people who don't want to act.

Claire exhaled a deep breath from the tip of her nose, but neither Vito nor Klee succeeded him as a good thing.

When he was in the Flame Plane, he offended both of them, originally thinking that Norris would last for decades, but he didn't expect to burp so soon. Based on her own experience as a logistics officer on the Flame Plane, Claire assured that no matter which one of them came to power. I'm going to shoot at myself, although I may have Merlin behind him, and I can't kill myself.

However, it is very simple to make the development of Nafu City stagnate or even regress from the side, and it can be simply done by issuing a decree.

After eating, Erin's mood became a little depressed when she heard Claire and the others talk about these topics.

Whispered, "What about next, what to do?" ”

Charlie and the second princess didn't have any good ideas, and turned to look at Claire.

"As before, you can do whatever you want." Claire continued to encourage: "Don't worry, don't feel lost, afraid to move forward. ”

"You don't have to subconsciously look for support, remember that you are your biggest support, you look at Mrs. Sophia, she was not ...... at the beginning"

Listening to Claire's words, Erin's eyes gradually lit up, and then, Claire's eyes lit up as well.

He was just enlightening the other party's words, but as he spoke, he thought of a good idea.

"Let's go back and rest after you're done." Claire quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

Erin turned her head and asked a little anxiously, "Where are you going?" ”

"It's a matter of looking for Lady Sophia." Claire turned her back to Erin and waved, "You go to sleep first, don't worry, I'll be back when you get up." ”

……

After a noise came from outside the door, Claire walked in straight through the door.

"Sorry ma'am! I couldn't stop him. The servants immediately bowed and apologized.

Sophia also stood up and waved her hand, "It's okay, let's go down." ”

After the servants left, Claire looked at Sophia with a playful smile on her face, "Madame doesn't want to see me today?" I've been here for half an hour, and at first I said I wasn't there, and then I said I was too busy to come back. If I hadn't broken in, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to meet in the future. ”

Sophia smiled, pointed to the mountains of papers on her desk, and replied, "It's really busy. ”

"Last time I came, there were more papers piled up than that." Claire ruthlessly debunks her lies.

Sophia narrowed her eyes, looked at Claire and said, "Say, what are you looking for me to do today?" ”

"I want to know, who did you choose?"

"Huh?"

Claire slowly stretched out two fingers, "Grand Prince Vito?" Or the second prince Klee? ”

A hint of astonishment flashed in Sophia's eyes, and her tone rose and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Claire didn't answer, but looked Sophia in the eye.

This is also why Sophia didn't want to see him just now, the eldest prince Vito and the second prince Klee both had conflicts with Claire, so no matter which one Sophia chooses, she can't be too close to Claire in the future, otherwise it may cause the dissatisfaction of the new king.

You must know that Sophia is only the head of the August family, not the ancestor of the August family, and the power of ministers like them comes from the king, and the reason why Sophia can make the August family develop so rapidly is inseparable from Norris's support for her and the way he opened for her.

Otherwise, why did she become a supreme minister of the six great demon master families. And like Count Puran, the son of Karl Magister, he can only be a nobleman on the edge of power. Although the Magus is powerful, they don't care! It was the king and his ministers who really ran the country.

And even if you come from a family that is a magister, you can only have a certain advantage, not that you can do whatever you want. Want to overpower people? There are six Magisters in the kingdom, five Juggernauts, and other Magister families or Juggernauts are afraid of you?

As for uniting to manipulate the throne or something, it is even more of a joke, the power of the throne does not come from that position, but from the Ivan Fa Saint who has been in retreat for more than 200 years. He and Merlin were the foundation of the country.

In other words, if the kingdom is compared to a company, those Dharma Holy Sword Saint Magisters are all shareholders, and these family heads are the managers who have been introduced to run the company.

So if the new king is dissatisfied with Sophia, then how did the Auguste family develop, and how will it fall back. Of course, because the ancestor is a magister, the August family is still a behemoth, and it can't damage the foundation, but it's not as strong as before.

For example, the market share of the magic shop, or some channels in the kingdom, will be distributed to other new ministers.

"Klee." Looking into Claire's eyes, Sophia said slowly: "He is smart and capable, with my help, he will have a greater chance of sitting on the throne." ”

Claire shook her head, "I don't think so, do you want to change someone?" ”

Sophia laughed, "For whom?" Vito? Idiot one, I don't like it. ”

Claire held out her finger and shook it gently, "No. ”

Sophia froze, "Who else is there?" ”

Claire smiled slightly, "Erin! Princess Irene. ”
