Chapter 382: I'm going to participate in this race for the throne!
On this day, the atmosphere in the entire royal capital became weird, and the nobles who usually greeted each other passed by as if they didn't see each other when they met each other.
Although those little nobles didn't receive any news, they also knew that something big was about to happen, otherwise the atmosphere in the royal capital would not be so weird and depressing.
Outside the palace of the king's council, there were constantly nobles who controlled real power coming in from outside.
Klee didn't come early, there were already a lot of people in the palace when he arrived, and the nobles in the palace also let a huge vacant seat for him to walk in when they saw Klee come in.
Seeing the performance of those nobles, the corners of Klee's mouth were already slightly hooked.
Thinking of his arrangements these days, Klee felt that the throne would definitely fall into his hands.
"You're still late for such a big day, it's a shame for the royal family." Vito's discordant voice rang out.
Klee also taunted back unceremoniously, "I'm not late, and I have a seat when I come quickly?" ”
"Humph!" Vito snorted coldly, he was not Klee's opponent in terms of lip exercises, and he was too lazy to fight with him.
Then, Klee walked to the front of the crowd and stood alongside Vito, the nobles behind him quietly moving their positions.
Those who supported Vito stood on Vito's side, and those who supported Klee stood behind Klee, forming two distinct waves of people.
These are some small and medium-sized nobles who are not very powerful, such as Sophia, Norton, Hubert and other top nobles stand aside, and will only make their positions one by one when the official start begins.
Klee glanced over there and saw a person he hated - Claire.
The man was still standing behind Erin, looking like he was going to protect her.
Hmph, ridiculous, when I become king, I'll see if you, a little viscount, will regret offending me in the first place!
Then Klee turned his head back, such a big day, he would not go to his trouble on such an occasion, this kind of thing will be said later, as long as he becomes the king, then Cillian or anything does not matter, as for this Claire, just send out to create a conflict, trap, you can put him in a Jedi, even if you can't die, you can ruin him.
Not to mention that these royal children are stingy, people with power in their hands can still stand the anger of others?
Like Klee, Vito is full of confidence, and he has put a lot of trouble into it these days. And as the eldest prince of the kingdom, he has a certain advantage over Klee, and those old-school nobles and conservative nobles will tend to him, and those old-school nobles often hold a lot of power.
Under the confident gaze of both men, Justice Joseph stepped up from the stage with a code in his hand.
The eyes of all were drawn to it, and as the representative of the laws of the Kingdom today, the Chief Justice, who had the highest power to interpret the laws of the Kingdom, was entrusted to Joseph in the event of Norris's sudden death.
After seeing Joseph with a solemn face, Klee showed a subtle smile, he had already secretly pulled Joseph into his camp.
Thinking of this, Klee glanced at Vito, who was still stupidly playing beside him, the referees and judges are all my people, what are you fighting with me?
When Joseph reached the stage, he solemnly opened the kingdom's legal code and glanced at the people below.
He said: "His Majesty Norris died for some reason, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, and today I have gathered everyone here to discuss the matter of succession to the throne." ”
After Joseph finished speaking, the nobles below were not surprised at all, obviously they had already known the news.
Joseph continued: "The current candidates are the eldest prince Vito and the second prince Klee, so you can discuss your own opinions......
Before Joseph finished speaking, Vito thought that the nobles behind him shouted loudly: "Since ancient times, primogeniture has been the first choice of each kingdom, so I think it is only natural for the eldest prince Vito to inherit the throne." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the nobles behind Klee replied: "I don't agree with this point of view, the throne is the one who can live in it, and the second prince is more capable, so he should inherit the throne of His Majesty Reese, become the new king, and lead the kingdom to new glory!" ”
Klee couldn't help but glance back at the man, he didn't expect the other party to be so wooden and have such good eloquence.
There were quarrels in the hall for a while, and Klee and Vito were not in a hurry, it was just an appetizer, they hadn't made a move yet, and the main dish was still to come.
Later, it depends on who has the most cards in their hand, so that they can seize their own throne.
Just as the nobles who were not very powerful were arguing, suddenly a voice drowned out everyone's voice.
Claire raised her hand and walked out from Erin's back, "I have an objection!" ”
"Huh?!" Vito and Klee both looked at Claire in surprise at the same time, not understanding what the other party was trying to do, if they wanted to make trouble on such an occasion, it would be a provocation to a country and simply looking for death!
Everyone present focused on Claire, and Sophia and the others also narrowed their eyes, ready to go.
Justice Joseph looked at Claire and asked, "What objections do you have?" ”
Klee looked at Joseph in surprise, shouldn't someone send him away at this time? You ask him what he does!
"I don't understand what you just said, how can there be only two candidates? According to legal theory, as long as you have royal blood, you have the right to inherit the throne. ”
With that, Claire looked back at Erin.
At this time, Erin was also very different from before, and walked out with her head held high, like a proud swan.
No matter how much Klee and Vito stared at her, Erin was calm and did not look panicked at all.
Erin walked up to the two of them and shouted confidently, "As the princess of the kingdom, I want to participate in this throne race!" ”
After hearing Irene's announcement, the nobles present were stunned, has the situation changed again? Why even Princess Irene came out to campaign.
Seeing Erin's appearance, Claire showed a smile, as if she saw her child finally grow up.
Sophia and the others who supported Erin also showed a satisfied smile after seeing Erin's performance. Erin's performance just now was not bad, which was enough to attract a lot of nobles to support her.
If it is submissive and makes people feel that they can't afford it, then even with their support, then the rest of the nobles will not join, and it will be in vain. The kingdom is not something that can be run by a few of them.
Klee and Vito's eyes widened, their eyes full of shock, they didn't expect to kill a Cheng bite gold halfway.
Klee turned his mind, looked at the judge on the stage, and asked, "Count Joseph, what that Claire said just now is true?" I remember that there has never been a female king in the history of our kingdom. ”
Klee said as he glanced at Joseph, of course he knew that Erin had the right to inherit, but now Joseph had the highest right to interpret the law, as long as he said a word, distorting some laws, saying that the current situation was different from the past, or explaining that although the girl had the right to inherit, it was actually impossible to become a king or something, then Erin could be taken down.
But Joseph didn't see the look in the eyes of the envoy, and replied expressionlessly: "What Viscount Claire said is right, as a child of the royal family, as long as you have royal blood, you can have the right to inherit the throne, regardless of age or gender. ”
