"Whew. Whew"

The second prince had red eyes, his nose was bulging, and his throat made a sound like a bellows, and his breath was stuck in his chest, and he couldn't go up or down.

He was so angry, he originally wanted to break Arthur's blockade as long as he planned to have the bank lend money to small businesses and small companies that were about to go bankrupt for a month, but he didn't think so.

These bankers have taken it upon themselves to swallow up small businesses in the crisis of bankruptcy!

Don't they know that these small businesses can turn to the enemy at any time?!

Grabbing the sleeping toast on the table, the second prince was like a hungry wild dog, biting heavily, and it took a long time to slowly calm down.

Sleepy Toast calmed him down, and as long as he closed his eyes, he could see the scenes he had always dreamed of, but now was obviously not the moment to revel in his fantasy.

"More and more businessmen have taken refuge in the Four Princes, and when the workers return to work, the pressure on the Labour Party will suddenly decrease, and we will only be left in London"

Baron Frederick muttered: "Your Highness, the matter has come to this, I think it is better to agree to the conditions of the Labour Party, and continue to spend money with them, and it will not take any advantage." ”

"No! There can be no compromise!! ”

The second prince immediately shouted: "We must curb Arthur's momentum!" One month at a time."

Baron Frederick, who had no knowledge of the soul elixir, wondered, "Your Highness, what are you talking about?" Hold on for a month? Why hold out for a month? ”

The second prince, who realized that he had said something wrong, quickly changed the subject, looked around and said, "What about Nicholas?" Why hasn't he arrived yet? ”

As soon as the words fell, Ma Wei took Yunia into the living room, saw the broken glass and vase fragments all over the floor, and was stunned for a moment: "Your Highness, are you doing decoration?" ”

Waving his hand to let the maid retreat, the situation was urgent, and the second prince didn't have the intention of joking now: "Nicholas, do you know the news that the small merchants in the south of the kingdom have compromised with Arthur?" ”

"They compromised?" Ma Wei pretended not to know: "How can this be? ”

"It's not because of the bankers who see the money! They've ruined my big deal! ”

As soon as the second prince of the banker was mentioned, he was angry and scolded, and Baron Frederick next to him had the heart to persuade him, but the second prince was angry, and Ma Wei was not an outsider, so he didn't need to stop anything.

Compared to the merchant rebellion, it is not a big deal for Rhodes IV to go to the kingdom of Frederick.

"It's not about money at all, it's about the Liberals having a hard time suppressing the Labour Party, and I've heard that quite a few MPs are already in contact with Arthur and want to join them."

The second prince's face was ugly, he knew that he could not lose power, and once he lost power, the Liberal Party would scatter and be slowly eaten away by the Labor Party.

In fact, the Labour Party has begun to grow, and they have absorbed smaller parties and neutral members of parliament, and they are getting stronger by the day.

Fortunately, the election of the king in the emergency plan does not require a popular vote, and a new king can be enthroned as long as the upper and lower houses and the cabinet make a joint decision.

This is also the last chance that the second prince seeks.

Only by becoming king first can all threats be eliminated, even if Arthur's Labour Party grows stronger?

He's the king!

If the king does not die, there will be no new king!

Unless there is a revolution.

But how could there be a revolution in the Kingdom of Windsor?

The second prince was not at all worried about what would happen after he ascended the throne, and his mind was now full of how to delay for a month and curb the speed of Arthur's expansion.

"Your Highness, the good news is that although the fourth prince controls the merchants in the southern part of the kingdom, the councillors in those areas have not yet defected to the Labour Party, they are either Conservative or Liberal members, and the general trend is still here."

Ma Wei analyzed: "If everything goes well, then Your Highness you should go and seek someone's help. ”

"Who?"

"Freya."

The second prince's eyes widened: "Freyya, why should I go to the Democratic Party!" You want me to go to the Democrats for help! ”

"Yes." Ma Wei bowed his head and said: "Around the eldest prince, in addition to the Conservative Party and the support of the northern parliamentarians, now the Labor Party established by the fourth prince is also growing, leaving your Royal Highness with the opportunity, only Freya's Democratic Party, if Your Highness can catch up with Freya before the fourth prince, then you can barely stabilize the situation and temporarily stop the expansion of the Labor Party." ”

One month, the second prince only needs one month, a month is not long or short, as long as there is no accident, the Labour Party will definitely not be able to grow into a monster on an equal footing with the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party in a month.

The reason is very simple, the number of seats in parliament is fixed, and the Labour Party has one more supporter, and the other parties have one less MP, and stabilizing the base can make the Labour Party have nothing to do!

The Democratic Party led by Freya is the target that the second prince needs to woo.

"I grew up with Freya and have a close relationship, so I'm sure I can get her support!"

"Strictly speaking, the three princes except the fourth prince all grew up with Freya, Your Highness, although you have the best relationship with Freya, but in the recent past. There seems to be a lack of communication and cooperation between you. Mavi said.

Since the end of the general election and the confirmation of Ma Wei's 'loyalty', the second prince has indeed rarely communicated with Freya, especially after Freya established a women's union, and has reduced his private contacts.

If you want to become king, you need to get the support of enough parliamentarians, and although Freya's Democratic Party has only a few dozen seats, it is also a big help, and now that Arthur is on his own and out of the control of the Great Prince, these votes are even more important.

"I'm going to visit Freya, Nicholas, and you'll come with me."

"Why did Daddy go to that bad woman's house!" Yunia grabbed Mavi's arm and asked reluctantly.

The second prince was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Yunia to suddenly jump out and stop him: "Because your father is a friend of Freya, if I go to visit alone, I probably won't see her." ”

"Emma, obedient."

"Oh"

After appeasing Yunia, Mavi and the second prince took a carriage to Freya's house, and when they arrived, they found that Freya had other guests in the house.

Looking at the two acquaintances sitting opposite him in the living room, the corners of the second prince's mouth twitched: "Charles Arthur, what are you two doing here?" ”

"Shukri, what are you doing here?" The eldest prince and Arthur asked in unison, so tacitly, it was obvious that a similar conversation had already happened once.

"I'm idle, come and see Freya, can't I?" The second prince said stiffly.

The eldest prince and Arthur glanced at each other, and said, "I'm also idle, come and see Freya, do you have any opinions?" ”

"Nope."

Sitting on the sofa, the three of them had a little subtle expressions, smoking cigarettes, no one paid attention to anyone, and the maid who delivered the tea was taken aback by this solemn atmosphere.

"So, when did you guys get here?" After sitting for more than ten minutes, the second prince couldn't help but ask.

"20 minutes ahead of you." The eldest prince glanced at his pocket watch and said, "Arthur came before me. ”

"I'm only 10 minutes ahead of you, Charles." Arthur took a sip of tea.

"So it's been half an hour, and Freya hasn't come out yet?"

The second prince frowned, feeling that Freya was too rude to let the guests sit for half an hour, this is definitely not hospitality, although they are uninvited guests, they should not be treated like this.

"If you mind, you can go first." The Grand Prince exhaled a puff of smoke.

Walk. Of course, it is impossible to leave, and the three of them have their own calculations in their hearts, and they must meet Freya before talking.

After nearly half an hour, a maid walked into the living room and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, my hostess has something to do with her and asks you to come back tomorrow." ”

"Out of the house?!"

The second prince, who had been waiting for more than an hour, raised his eyebrows, his face was instantly gloomy, but because of the overall situation, he couldn't attack, so he had to snort coldly: "Nicholas, let's go!" ”

Outside, the three princes got into the carriage and left, and halfway through, Mavi suddenly asked the coachman to turn back.

"What's wrong?" The second prince, who was thinking about the problem, wondered: "Freya is not at home, what are you going to do when you go back?" Did you drop something? ”

"Freya must be at home, and something is just a pretext for her." Ma Wei said: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if she is not there, we should wait for her to come back and show enough sincerity." ”

The second prince suddenly said: "This is also true, now is not the time to save face!" ”

Soon, the carriage drove into the gate of the villa again, and the housekeeper looked at Ma Wei and the three who suddenly turned back and smiled slightly: "The hostess of my house said that whoever comes back first will take her to meet her." ”

"Freya, what are you doing?"

The second prince, who had always thought that he knew Freya well, suddenly felt a little strange, since the establishment of the women's union, Freya has shown ambition and acted in a completely different style than before.

When she came upstairs, Freya had been waiting in the study for a long time, and when she saw Ma Wei, she said with a smile: "I knew that it must be you who came back, Nicholas, the nobles have to be faceless, and they will leave when they receive the eviction order, and they will never return, but you are shameless, and there is a high probability that you will come back." ”

"The same goes for you." Ma Wei said lightly.

"Okay, if you have something to say, what are you looking for me for?" Freya asked, "Is there any new proposal that I would like to help with?" ”

This is not a new proposal, but to ask Freya to lead the Democratic Party to support the second prince in the election of the new king, but how can such words be said?

Could it be that the second prince knew about the old king's illness a month in advance?

Is he a prophet?

Or was it instructed by the goddess of fate?

Or. The old king's illness has something to do with him?

Freya is not a fool, if the second prince directly says about the election of the new king, it will definitely expose the poison.

If you can't say it explicitly, and you still need support, you have to take another approach.

"Your Highness wishes to form an alliance with you, Freya." "The Liberal Party needs your support, whatever you want, you just have to say," Marvi said. ”

"Now Arthur's Labour Party is in full swing, and the Liberals are losing again and again." Freya glanced at the second prince who was a little embarrassed on the side: "Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Liberal Party is going to lose in this battle, and even the church has to support Arthur, isn't it self-defeating to form an alliance with you at this time?" ”

"The Labour Party is really difficult to deal with, which is why we have come to form an alliance with you." "Every five years, the last one has just ended, which means there will be no new MPs for five years, and the Labour Party has absorbed a lot of neutral MPs and small parties, but he can't shake the roots of the big parties," Mawi said. ”

"Today, there are only five major parties in the House of Commons, namely the Conservative Party of the Great Prince, the Northern Party, the Liberal Party of the Second Prince, the Labour Party of the Fourth Prince, and the Democratic Party led by you."

"Among them, the northern parliamentarians support the Conservative Party and are the people of the eldest prince, if you are willing to support His Royal Highness the second prince, the fourth prince will have no way out, because there are no more positions!"

Mavi stretched out a hand and shook it in front of Freya: "Five years, within five years, it will be difficult for the Labour Party to do anything, no matter how high the support rate is, it will not be able to control the parliament!" ”

Freya nodded: "Even if Shukri is given five years, what can he do?" Failure is inevitable. ”

"Five years is enough to change a lot of things!" The second prince couldn't help but say: "Father's body is getting worse day by day!" Now the Archbishop of Liviu needs to guard him day and night, and he will definitely not last five years! ”

"It turns out that you want to drag Your Majesty to death and use your influence in the parliament to run for the king." Freya suddenly realized: "This is indeed a good way to break the game, or this is your only chance, you should be glad that you have the support of Nicholas, otherwise this last glimmer of hope will no longer exist." ”

In the current era of theocracy, the election of a king is different from before, the so-called divine right of kings, a king must have the support of the church before he can officially ascend the throne.

Archbishop Brandon must have supported the second prince, but before Marvey came to London, the Liberals could only barely compete with the Conservatives, and in the church, the goddess of health was far more important than the goddess of wealth, especially during the war.

There is no realm of immortality, and I don't know how many soldiers were killed and wounded in the recent invasion of the Romanov Kingdom!

"Of course I know that!" The second prince said impatiently: "In the future, I will be king, and Nicholas will have everything!" The point is that you, Freya, need your support so that I can stand out in future elections! ”

Although the monarchy is divinely authorized, the church must also respect the decisions of the secular government, and only when the upper and lower levels are unified can they be at peace.

Centrifugal away from Germany, destined not to go far.

The church already had Archbishop Brandon and Ma Wei to help, and the only thing the second prince was worried about was the council.

"If I don't support you, won't you be elected king?"

"You support me, I still have a chance, if you don't support me, if you run to support Arthur or Charles, the king must be Charles's!"

The corners of Freya's lips rose: "I'll help you, what can you give me in return?" ”

"All!" The second prince said quickly: "As long as I become the king, you can do whatever you want!" ”

"Actually, I don't ask for much, first of all, I will put forward various plans in the next period of time, and the Liberal Party will support me."

"No problem!"

"Also."

Freya opened the drawer, took out a small square box, and pushed it in front of Mavi: "This is a gift that belongs to you, I hope you can accept it." ”

"What's that?"

Ma Wei opened the box and found inside.

There is a ruby larger than a thumb, embellished with gold, and a shank underneath.
