"Compared with the Lilac family, the Lilac family, which is also a Roman branch, is already thin, once Edward III dies and Prince Henry's bloodline problem is made public, the Lilac family has the right to attack the Lilac family, so that it is possible to avoid war and directly obtain the inheritance of the Falling Star Kingdom!"

Count Jurst said with a solemn expression.

Hearing his words, Charlotte was a little surprised, she didn't expect that the Falling Star Royal Family still had such an inside story.

However, Charlotte also knows that politics is a very complicated thing, even if the two Lilac families have an agreement on inheritance, but in practice, it must be another situation.

The struggle for power has never been smooth sailing, not to mention that since the current king Edward III has concealed the blood problem of the crown prince, it means that he has no intention of handing over the inheritance to the Red Lilac family.

Even if the Lilac family is thin, it is also the current real Falling Star Royal Family, as a person in power, it is impossible to easily give up the power in his hands, and he must have made all kinds of preparations for this.

Since Count Jurst is now looking for her, it means that there must still be some major flaws in this plan of the Ness clan......

"Lord Jurst, the Ness Clan's plan sounds good, but since you're here to see me today, there must be some shortcomings, right?"

Charlotte asked, taking a sip of sweet milk.

Jurst sighed and said with a wry smile:

"I'll tell you the truth, there are indeed shortcomings."

"In the plan of the Ness clan, it is intended to break Prince Henry's bloodline and use the Kingdom Council to deny his inheritance."

"Unlike the Crescent Kingdom, in the Falling Star Kingdom, the power of the council is quite strong, especially in terms of the inheritance of the kingdom, the council can even compete with the king and influence the heir of the kingdom."

"The perennial Star-Moon War has greatly weakened the royal power of the falling star, and once the kingdom council denies Prince Henry's inheritance rights based on his blood origin, even the king cannot confront all the nobles, and must fulfill the contract and choose an heir from the Red Lilac family according to the agreement."

"After so many years of infiltration, the Ness clan has almost controlled more than half of the seats in the kingdom's parliament, and as long as the council is successfully convened and the succession of Prince Henry is denied, everything will come together."

"But the question arises as to how to stab Prince Henry."

Speaking of this, Jurst's expression was a little depressed:

"The Ness clan did get the secret of Prince Henry's origins, but the witness who knew about it died."

"Dead? Is it extinguished? ”

Charlotte was stunned.

Jurst shook his head:

"It's not that he was killed, but he died in a shipwreck, and the other party was a captain who once escorted Prince Henry's own mother, and not long ago he went to sea and was attacked by pirates, and never returned."

Charlotte was a little speechless:

"There are witnesses, don't you know how to protect them? What is the difference between this and being destroyed? ”

Jurst smiled bitterly:

"We also learned about Prince Henry's bloodline not long ago, and we were about to take the witness under control, but it turned out to be a step too late."

"After the outbreak of the Boulder-Castel War, the captain wanted to take advantage of the war to make a windfall, so he went to sea with his ship, and who knew that he was attacked by pirates, and as a result, he died at sea."

"Although the Ness clan has other evidence, it is not convincing enough, and his death has made things troublesome."

Charlotte: ......

"So, you came to Castel to find me this time, did you want my help? You say acting...... Also related to this? Wait, you're not planning to do it directly to Prince Henry, are you? ”

She asked.

Jurst shook his head:

"No, we're not going to kill him."

"Killing Prince Henry is not the best option, and it is more effective to deny him his inheritance in a reasonable and legal way than to kill him."

"The Ness clan will support the new king, but they will also keep him, after all, he is the heir of Edward III, even if he loses his inheritance qualifications, he also has a claim to the kingdom of the falling stars, and he is still a threat to the king supported by Ness."

"This is not a bad thing, the Ness Clan has lost control of the Falling Star for too long, and there is no way to completely expel the power of the Church in the first place, which means that the first king chosen by the Ness Clan cannot be a blood descendant or a blood servant, let alone exercise mental control, otherwise, it will be easy to be discovered and targeted."

"But at the same time, without being a blood descendant or a blood servant, the Ness clan cannot ensure the complete loyalty of the chosen king......"

"This is a dead knot, but with Prince Henry, it is different, with him, Ness will have a way to achieve a balance of power, to limit the royal power to the greatest extent, the new king wants to stabilize the rule must win the support of the Ness clan, which will buy more time for the Ness clan, which is conducive to the further control of the kingdom by the Ness clan in the future."

"So...... Prince Henry had to live. ”

"What's more, after the new king is crowned, the Ness clan can even control Prince Henry in turn as a future alternative."

Jurst spoke very clearly, analyzing the current situation of the falling star to Charlotte one by one.

However, Charlotte knew that this was not only for her, but also for the "Blood True Ancestor" behind her.

As the blood family of the True Ancestor within Ness, this is also one of Yurst's missions.

"I understand, you still plan to reveal his bloodline, but you don't want to expose the hands and feet of the Ness clan in the process, so you plan to let me help?"

Charlotte mused.

Jurst nodded:

"Exactly."

"Although the witness who knows Prince Henry's origin is dead, the impure blood is the impure blood, and this cannot be faked."

"As long as it can be proved that his blood is not pure, his inheritance can still be denied through the kingdom council."

"However, this negates the need to highlight the role of the parliament and the nobility, and downplay the influence of the Ness clan."

"So...... That's what the Ness clan thought of you. ”

Charlotte's heart moved slightly:

"What kind of play are the Ness Clan going to ask me to play with?"

Count Jurst smiled slightly and said:

"Lord Castel, do you know about the bloodline test?"

"The power of nobility comes from blood, and many ancient noble families have a method of bloodline identification, and the same is true for the Roman family."

"As one of the oldest aristocratic families in Miria, the Roman family has a tradition since ancient times, that is, before determining the future head of the family, the heir of the family must go to the ancestral land to obtain the approval of the ancestral sword and strengthen the Roman blood in the body...... Or rather, the half-elven hero of history - the mythical blood of Romanus. ”

"This ritual of obtaining the approval of the Sword of the Ancestors is a kind of bloodline identification, and it is also a bloodline strengthening, which can further stimulate the power of the bloodline and enhance the bloodline concentration while ensuring that the family heir is Roman's bloodline."

"Edward III is seriously ill, and Prince Henry is to take this step, and once this step is completed, he will officially become the heir that not even a king has the right to deprive."

Charlotte's heart moved:

"You mean to ...... Because the bloodline is not pure, can't he pass this kind of identification? ”

"No, he can pass, even if his blood is not pure, he is also the heir of His Majesty the King, and there is Roman blood in his body, as long as he has Roman blood, he can be recognized, at most, the light of the Ancestral Sword is too weak and the momentum is insufficient...... Although it is easy to arouse suspicion, the royal family can also prevaricate it through various arguments. ”

"And as long as he is recognized, his bloodline will be strengthened, and no one will talk about his bloodline."

"What do you mean?"

Count Jurst smiled slightly:

"Lord Castel, if it were the norm, Prince Henry would indeed be able to pass the Ancestral Sword's approval, but there were exceptions."

As he spoke, he glanced at Charlotte meaningfully:

"That'...... It is when there is a presence of a higher concentration of blood at the ceremony site, and the same is the time to participate in the ceremony. ”

Charlotte took a sip of sweet milk and raised her eyebrows slightly:

"So...... The Ness Clan wants me to participate in the ceremony as well? ”

Count Jurst nodded and said:

"Think so."

"Whether it is the Lilac family or the Lilac family, they are all branches of the Roman family, and the orthodox Roman direct line in the Falling Star Kingdom has long since disappeared with the collapse of the previous king."

"Although the current king has strengthened his bloodline through the Sword of the Ancestors, because the branches are too far away, he still can't reach the bloodline strength of the former direct Roman, and Prince Henry ...... It's even worse. ”

However, outside of the falling star, Roman's direct bloodline is still circulating.

"That'...... That's you. ”

As he spoke, Count Jurst looked solemn:

"Your mother...... The sister of the former king of the Kingdom of Falling Stars, Princess Anne of the Roman family, your maternal grandfather was the 'Mad King' Edward II who pushed the Star-Moon War to a climax and started the Second Star-Moon War, and even more, before your uncle 'Fool' Henry ascended the throne, your mother had even passed the approval of the Sword of the Romans Ancestors, but later in order to chase love, she gave up the position of head of the family and left the Falling Star to live in seclusion in Castel. ”

In other words, your body ...... Romance has a higher concentration of blood than the current Falling Star King! ”

"Once you have participated in the ceremony, Prince Henry is bound to fail, and once he cannot be approved by the Sword of the Ancestors, the council has reason to deny him the right to inheritance."

"After all...... If it is really the blood of kings and queens, it is impossible for its romantic blood to pass the approval of the sword of the ancestors. ”

Charlotte understood.

This is for her to sabotage, directly ruining the recognition ceremony of Prince Henry, and denying the other party's inheritance in the name of the Roman ancestors.

It's just that......

"Patriarchal Recognition Ceremony...... This is a ritual dedicated to the heir to the Roman family, right? How do I participate in the ceremony? ”

Charlotte asked.

Count Jurst replied:

"The ancestral land of the Roman family was once in the Roman Isle of the Grand Duchy of the North, and later moved to the current Duchy of Roman, where the Sword of the Ancestors is also located."

"At present, the ancestor recognition ceremony is held in Roon, the capital of the Principality of Roman, and the Ness clan has infiltrated the nobles in charge of the ceremony, although they can't destroy the ceremony, they can secretly send you to the dark room prepared in advance directly below the ceremony venue."

"When the ceremony begins, you will be equally illuminated by the light of the Sword of the Ancestors, and with you, Prince Henry will fail."

"I see......"

Charlotte bowed slightly.

But soon, her expression was a little strange:

"But in this case, isn't the Ness clan worried that I will inherit the Ancestral Sword and be recognized as the head of the Roman family?"

Jurst shook his head:

"No, although the ancestral recognition ceremony is a strengthening of the bloodline, it is only a ceremony after all, and the so-called confirmation ceremony of the inheritance of the head of the family is just a tradition formed by the Roman family in order to consolidate the status of the direct heirs, and it is essentially a bloodline strengthening technique."

"Even if you have obtained the approval of the Ancestral Sword, it is just that the Roman blood in your body has been strengthened and your physique has been enhanced, and everything that happens in the dark room will not be displayed at the ceremony site, and the falling star will not see you as the heir of the Roman family."

"As for being recognized by the sword of the Roman ancestors, it is even more impossible, the sword of the Roman ancestors is the sword of the half-elf hero Romanus, and it is a real mythical artifact, it follows the agreement with Romanus to help its descendants strengthen the bloodline, but it will never recognize mortals as the master."

"Its owner...... Only the demigod Romanus who managed to pull it out of the stone in the first place. ”

In other words...... You're just privately participating in a bloodline-strengthening ritual of magic. ”

But I'm not mortal, am I? Is it really okay?

Charlotte muttered to herself.

However, she was also intrigued, and she really wanted to see the legendary Sword of the Roman Ancestors.

She also has a description of the "half-elf" bloodline in her profile, which she used to think may have been an intermarriage with elves in the history of the Castel family, but now it seems that it may not necessarily be the Castel family, but more likely the Romans.

But......

"Lord Jurster, if the Ness clan regains control of the Falling Star Kingdom in this way, what about the agreement between Castel and Ness?"

Charlotte asked.

Jurster Road:

"You mean the ownership of the Duchy of Romans, right?"

"On this point, I actually have some doubts about the decision of the Presbyterian Church, although there may not be a war, but the Elder Ness still decided to give you the Duchy of Romance in order to maintain the friendship with Castel."

"I want to ...... This may be the sincerity expressed by the Elders to His Majesty, the Ness Clan does not know that the god behind you is the Ancestral Crown, but they know that the god behind you is a blood myth. ”

"A mythical friendship is more important than an enclave that is difficult to defend."

"In addition, even if there is no war, the new king will need to expel the forces of the Holy Court after he ascends the throne, and then ...... You may still need your help. ”

After speaking, Jurst looked at Charlotte:

"So, Lord Castel, what do you think of the Ness Clan's proposal?"

Charlotte thought for a moment and asked:

"Your Excellency Yurst, are you making this proposal based on the identity of the Ness Bloodline, or is it based on the identity of the Blood Dependents?"

Yurst hesitated, then stopped.

But in the end, he sighed and said:

"It's the decision of the Elders of Ness, I'm just a mouthpiece, but I've added some personal understanding."

"For me personally, it's a combination of both, no matter what, in my opinion, this matter is good for the Ness Blood Clan, for you, and for His True Ancestor."

"This is a win-win situation, the Ness clan has obtained the Falling Star Kingdom, you have obtained the Principality of Roman, and the friendship between the two sides will also be conducive to the reintegration of the blood clan under the True Ancestor Crown in the future."

Charlotte nodded:

"I see."

After saying that, she smiled again:

"I also think it's a good proposition, and as the lord of Castel, I'd be happy to take part in this 'show.'"
