Randy's point of view.

Hikari and I were summoned by Her Highness Mia to her dormitory.

"At present, the Harumanke family, where Duke Raymond belongs, has been exiled, so there will inevitably be someone fighting for their vacant position in the royal city.

The position of the Duke is very important, and I don't want such a big power to be handed over to a stranger!"

After listening to Mia's speech, I had some questions, so I said, "Your Highness, does the Duke have any rights, can you elaborate on it?"

Mia said, "Yes, the Duke is the royal family's support and minister.

Our Jincaster Empire currently has ten dukes, and these ten dukes have the right to elect, and if they want to become kings, they have to get their votes.

They belong to the king's power, and they only use their voting rights when the next king is elected."

I asked, "Is His Majesty the King the one they have elected?"

Mia nodded and said, "It can be said that my father has royal blood, and he stood out from many members of the royal family at the beginning, and later won the support of the dukes to defeat several other brothers and sisters, and then became the king."

"And how many votes did he get?" I asked.

Mia said, "There are six votes."

"That said, there are six dukes who support him, and what about the few dukes who don't?" I asked.

"All but one of them were killed, including the other siblings." Mia said calmly.

I was amazed at the cruelty of the king, but it suddenly occurred to me that if I were the king, when I ascended the throne, I would definitely wipe out all the forces that did not support me.

Shikari said, "Now, the eldest prince Spage, there are several ministers who are interested in wooing him, and there are rumors inside and outside that he will be the new king in the future!"

"In this way, before the enthronement ceremony began, someone had already wooed them, and it seems that these ministers are also worried that they will be on the wrong side in the future!" I muttered to myself.

Topki then said, "The second prince Dink, who has just returned from Delmar North Asia, is an ambassador of peace between the two countries, and is also a student of the University of Magic, he has achieved such an achievement at a young age, and his magical attainments surpass all his brothers and sisters, and he is highly appreciated by the king!"

"I see!" My voice.

"So, these two are the ones most likely to become kings?" I asked.

Mia nodded and said, "Yes, there is a fight between them, no, between all the princes and princesses, and we regard the power as very important, which will be decisive for the future accession to the throne."

"How many ministers do Your Highness support?" I asked.

Mia showed a bitter expression and said, "When I had a fiancé before, there were two ministers who wanted to woo me, but after the marriage contract was cancelled, I didn't have any ministers to support me."

"No wonder Your Highness, you don't need to wear a veil." I say.

"Can you tell us about the other princes and princesses?" I asked.

Mia groaned and said, "In terms of power, the eldest prince and the second prince are on par and evenly matched, and the third prince and my second sister have a tough fight, and they have fought in public recently.

Actually, my eldest sister was originally the most powerful one, but in order to complete the assessment, she went to other places, which led to conflicts between Delmar North Asia and the Jincaster Empire."

"Is it because she died in another country?" I asked.

"That's right, it can be said that the eldest sister this time is to break up all the results of the second prince's efforts, and now the atmosphere on the border is said to be very tense." Mia's voice.

I said, "Then what can be done to increase the power of His Highness?"

Mia replied, "Yes, but it depends on whether I can take advantage of this opportunity!"

"At present, the four dukes who support the eldest sister have no masters, and they will inevitably cling to other princes or princesses, and several other princes and princesses have begun to take action, in the name of assessment, to lobby the territories of several dukes.

In the middle of this, there is a high probability that friction will occur, and assassinations and other means will emerge one after another.

I'm a little guts

It's small, so I stayed in the royal city and didn't leave."

"What else?" I wondered.

"Nope." Mia shook her head.

She pondered for a moment and said, "My current idea is to go to the territory of Caselya, find the Duke of Monto, and persuade him to support me and cooperate with him!"

"Kasselya?" I think the name sounds familiar.

Mia said, "It's your hometown!"

It dawned on me, "I see, my hometown, the small town of Trala, belongs to this area."

Mia asked, "Where has Aaron gone, and if I take her with me, I'll have more strength!"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen her in days, I don't know where she's gone."

"That's right...... It would be a loss for us if he was to be co-opted by another prince, after all, she was very powerful, and she was very beautiful, and she was a good girl!" Mia worried.

I hesitated for a moment and reminded, "That'...... Actually, she's not a girl, she's just a girl!"

"Aha?

Mia and the others spoke in unison, tilting their heads to look at me.

I explained Aaron's experience of becoming a woman, and after listening to it, Mia and the others all showed incredible expressions.

"It's outrageous, a man can become a woman?" Topki exclaimed.

I nodded, jokingly, "Maybe you can too!"

Tuoji hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't want it, I also invited her to dinner before, and I ...... with her We had an ambiguous chat."

Speaking of this, Taki began to blush, "She has always shown a cold attitude towards me, it turns out that she is a man in the first place!"

"Hehe, if a man is interested in a man, isn't that a pervert?" I rolled my eyes.

Shikari apologized to me and said, "I'm sorry, Randy, I misunderstood you before, I thought ......."

"Why do you think Aaron is my little wife?" I asked.

Shikari lowered her head in embarrassment, her face flushed.

I leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "You'll have to make it up to me tonight!"

As soon as these words came out, Shikari's ears turned red, and she punched me angrily.

I looked at Yani and pointed at her, "And you, little tiger, you blamed me before, don't you know how to say sorry?"

Yani's face was full of arrogance, and she raised her chin and said, "Who's going to tell you I'm sorry!"

I bared my teeth and claws at her, thinking that this little tiger was so disobedient during the day, and how I taught her a lesson at night.

Mia coughed and reminded, "Randy, would you like to come with me to Casselya's territory to lobby and serve as my personal bodyguard?"

"I do!" I say without hesitation.

"That's good!"

Mia nodded slightly, her palms flashing with blue light.

Immediately after, a staff more than a meter long appeared in her hand.

The head of the staff was in the shape of a curled squirrel tail, and I recognized it at a glance as Master Gandalf's staff.

"Randy, I've worked hard to clear your name and convince my father that you're not a dark magician, so you can't use dark magic in front of outsiders, lest you cause unnecessary trouble!"

With that, Mia handed me the staff.

I took it, gently stroked the staff, and solemnly said, "I understand!"

In addition to Mia, several princes and princesses in the royal city had already left for the Kasselya territory.

Hikari and I put together a bit of a tidying up and stepped into Mia's team with our gear.

Mia is a princess, and leaving the royal city must be a top priority, so the people who escort her are elite.

There are several sect-level swordsmen and high-level magicians in the team.

As for me...... I came to the higher level very early, and if I use black magic, the power can be comparable to the sect level, or even the king level.

However, I was restricted by Mia from using black magic at will in front of outsiders, so my magic level was rated as superior, barely an elite.

As I got into the carriage and was about to leave the palace gates, I saw several figures blocking the way through the window.

"Dear Son of God, our worship of you is like a surging river......

"Stop, this is already a line from the last century!"

Looking at the few congregants surrounding the carriage, I reached out to the Pope at the head and stopped him.

"Your Excellency, I don't know you well, so don't tell me this!"

Since it was the Pope's men who kidnapped Lilith, I was cold to them.

The Pope said bitterly, "Lord Son of God, you might as well stay, discuss issues with me, and swim in the ocean of knowledge, these royal power struggles are meaningless!"

I shook my head at him and said, "I'm sorry, this is an order from Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I can't disobey it!"

He looked disappointed, sighed, stepped forward and whispered, "Miko-sama, I wonder if you're not interested in the Lord of the Rings?"

"What did you say?" I immediately became serious, looked around, and reminded, "This matter is very important, don't mention it casually!"

The Pope smiled and said, "Hehehe, Lord Mizu, I see from the horoscopes that you will be involved in a bloody melee in the future, and it is about the Lord of the Rings.

While you've been asleep, you've already had a magic ring in the hands of someone else!"

I was horrified, remembering Ryan's ring, "Yes...... It's the Ring of Healing!"

"Oh, it turns out that ring is called the Healing Ring, and it has been taken from the basement by the Harumank family!" Said the Pope.

"......" I unwillingly hammered the window edge and sighed in disappointment.

In other words, in the future, I will have one more enemy from the Harumanke family.

If I had known this, I should have reminded Lilith to take the ring.

Oh, by the way, what is an astrological chart, the magic of predicting the future?

Speaking of the future, there are a lot of things about the future in my dark magic books, but some are inconsequential and trivial, and some are major events.

"Your Excellency, can you see the future?" I asked.

The Pope said: "I can only predict the future of the Sons of God, and only a small part, rest assured, Lord Son of God, I said that we of the Church of the Two Gods will help you unconditionally.

The previous incident with Miss Lilith was just a misunderstanding, and there were many secrets in it that you didn't know, so we had some contradictions and estrangements.

Since Miko-sama insists on going, then I have no choice but to send you off."

After saying that, the Pope and several of his followers bowed deeply to me, as if I had ascended to heaven, "Congratulations to the Son of God."

I didn't feel good and said, "I thank you all for your family!"
