-107- Are you interested in the throne?
Charlotte really didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
She was still waiting for the ownership of the Principality of Roman, but the Principality of Romance did not wait, and directly descended from the sky for the inheritance of the throne of a falling star.
Surprise?
It is impossible to say that there is none.
People are sitting at home, the throne is coming from heaven, nothing has been done, and some people want her to chant a poem, and the yellow robe is added.
No matter how you look at it, this is all a stroke of luck.
She finally knew why she always felt that the attendants in the Earl's Court had a different attitude towards her.
As the designated heir of the previous Falling Star King, her inheritance to the throne is too strong.
No, if you really want to legally speaking, she is already equivalent to the first heir in line to the throne of the Falling Star Kingdom.
To be honest, if it was only the king who appointed it and everyone objected, then she would at most have a strong claim to the throne.
But if, as Ness said, even the Kingdom Council and the Roman Clan of the Falling Star Kingdom supported her, then the situation would be very different.
The fact that the throne of the Falling Star Kingdom can be vacant for two months is enough to show that the power of the Kingdom Council and the Roman clan should not be underestimated.
Otherwise, the Ness clan, which had been prepared for a long time, would have already put the prepared candidate on the throne.
But......
She is not familiar with the Council of the Falling Star Kingdom and the Roman Clan, why do these two forces support her?
Especially the Council of the Falling Star Kingdom.
Jurst also said before that the Ness clan has controlled half of the seats in the kingdom's parliament, even if it is supported, shouldn't it be supported by the Ness clan?
Charlotte was a little confused.
"Meow, this question...... Sebas and I have already discussed that behind the Kingdom Council, it is actually the Falling Star Nobles who are representatives, and although the Ness blood controls the seats in the Kingdom Council, it is only a seat, and it is only secretly controlled, and it is very likely that the identity of their Ness blood has not even been revealed......"
"As far as I know, not all of the Fallen Star nobles are happy to see the return of the Ness Clan, especially the revelations of Edward III before his death, which almost immediately awakened the nobles' fear of the Ness bloodline......"
"You know, many years ago, it was the Council of the Falling Star Kingdom that united with the Holy Court to overthrow the behind-the-scenes rule of the Ness bloodline over the Falling Star."
Ness said.
Charlotte's heart moved slightly:
"So...... Was it Edward III's deathbed revelations that pushed the Ness clan against the Council of Kingdoms? β
Ness nodded:
"It can be said that after knowing that the person who secretly financed him was actually of Ness blood, many councilors turned back."
"However, let the council of the Falling Star Kingdom choose to strongly support you, I'm afraid there is also your special identity."
"On the one hand, you have the blood of Roman, and on the other hand, you have no background in the falling stars, for the nobles of the falling stars, there is no such king, it is more suitable to support."
Listening to Nice's words, Charlotte's expression was clear.
"What about the Roman Clan? Couldn't it be for this reason? Or is it ...... Related to the Ancestral Recognition Ceremony I attended earlier? β
She asked again.
This time, Ness looked strange:
"If you look out the window, you should understand why the Roman Clan supports you."
Charlotte was slightly stunned.
She walked to the study window, opened the window and looked out, then ...... I saw a circle of maids and knights sitting around the lawn not far away.
In the middle of the crowd, there was an elven sword that radiated divine light.
The gorgeous rapier flew around and bragged proudly:
"Just as the evil god was about to come into the world, I shouted at Romanusβ"
"'What are you doing!' Hurry up! ββ
"Then, I slashed down with a sword, directly cutting the evil god in half, and even the godhead was split into pieces!"
"Romanus has listened to me ever since, and though all mortals think that I am his sword, they are ...... Hey! He's just my mount! β
Charlotte: ......
Okay.
She got it.
It seems that the fact that the Sword of Romance was obtained by her is already well known, and it is known that this thing even recognizes her as the master.
Really, before she fell asleep, she clearly explained that the Sword of Romance should not appear in front of people, and it seems that it was all confessed!
With a sigh, Charlotte withdrew her gaze.
If the Roman clan knew that the Roman Sword recognized her as the master, then it would be normal to be willing to support her.
After all, for the increasingly marginalized Romance clan, the Falling Star Kingdom, which wants to gradually "de-romanize", has less and less place for them.
Even the two Lilac families are less and less likely to call themselves the "Roman Family", and the Roman clan can only maintain its own voice by uniting around the "Roman Sword".
"They support me as the Queen of the Falling Stars, so they should also give me conditions, right?"
Charlotte continued.
This time, Ness shook his head:
"I don't know about this, but there should be, a week ago, we already received a magic message from the head of the Falling Star Kingdom, and their mission is already on the way to come, I'm afraid it will be two or three days at most."
"At that time...... They must have made a condition. β
"However, the Ness clan has already sent an emissary, and it is Yulst, who is staying in the city now."
Speaking of which, Nice's expression was a little odd:
"The Ness clan wants to give up your right to the throne in exchange for the Duchy of Romance and your ownership of the Sword of Romance."
"In other words, as soon as you renounce the succession to the throne, they will immediately carry out the handover of the Duchy of Romance and recognize your sovereignty over the Sword of Romance......"
Charlotte: ......
"They...... Earnest? What was originally agreed upon by the two parties, and a meaningless recognition of sovereignty, in exchange for me giving up the right to inherit the throne? β
She couldn't help but complain.
Nice snorted:
"This condition seems to have been put forward by the opposition in the Ness Clan, who have always opposed the Ness Clan and your dealings, and are afraid of the 'gods' behind you."
"I heard that because of the fact that the Sword of Romance recognized you as the master, that guy Jurst and Duke Yorok were sprayed by the opposition within Ness, and even the implementation of the plan to return to the star was taken back by the Council of Elders."
"Jurst was able to come to us as an envoy to negotiate, all because he had a good relationship with you."
"Hey...... When you summon Yurst, you'll be able to see his bitter face. β
It seems that he thought of something happy, and Ness gloated with a look of schadenfreude, how cheap he was.
Charlotte looked at it speechlessly.
This guy ...... Every time I see someone else unlucky, I am happier than I am lucky, and there is no one who has this problem.
"How did you respond to the conditions of the Nays clan?"
She asked.
Ness shook his head:
"I haven't responded yet! Isn't it like you haven't woken up? β
"I gave the Ness clan a time and said to give them an answer in three days, and now two days have passed, and there is still one day to go."
"Honestly...... If you don't wake up tomorrow, I'll make that decision for you. β
"Oh? So if it were you, what would you decide? β
Charlotte asked with interest.
"Me? My words...... Of course, it's ambiguous, and if you can drag it out, it's best to delay it until you wake up, but if you don't wake up, in order to seek stability, then I can only agree to the conditions of the Ness clan......"
"After all, I'm not you, and I don't dare to roast myself on the fire, it will also bring danger to you in your sleep."
Ness said.
So saying, Ness asked:
"Lord Charlotte, then...... What do you think, are you interested in the throne of the Falling Star Kingdom? β
Are you interested in the Throne of the Falling Stars?
Charlotte was lost in thought.
The authority represented by the king is by no means comparable to that of an earl.
If nothing else, even if Charlotte wants to secretly poke and expand the power of her Night Order, the Kingdom of the Falling Stars is also an excellent place to go.
You know, even a county like Castel, which is far away from the clergy, can disobey the church.
In contrast, the Falling Star Kingdom is even the entire country directly isolated overseas.
As an island nation, the Kingdom of the Falling Stars is naturally easy to defend and difficult to attack, and at the same time, it is also one of the weakest areas of the Church, which is very suitable for the development of "infidels".
For Charlotte, who wants to gather strength quickly before Advent arrives, it's just the perfect fit.
Charlotte, in particular, is now a demigod.
Once she really succeeds to the throne, it is both a myth and a kingship, which is simply a two-way bonus, and the expansion of power is definitely like a snowball.
Admittedly, Charlotte was moved.
Of course, Charlotte also knows that this throne is not so easy to hold.
Throne of the Falling Stars...... It sounds good, but in reality, it's also a hot potato.
Or is there too many forces involved in the succession issue.
Charlotte could think of a lot.
The new parliamentarian faction of the Falling Star Kingdom, the increasingly marginalized Roman clan, the Ness bloodline who wants to take back the Stars, the Romance branch of the Red Lilac family supported by the Ness bloodline, the old nobles of the Falling Star who support the Ness bloodline, and ...... A sacred court that wants to maintain control of the Falling Star Kingdom.
It is indeed a head-scratching that so many forces are entangled.
Oh yes.
There is also the Crescent Kingdom.
Louis V certainly wouldn't sit idly by and watch her inherit the throne of the falling stars.
If she inherits the throne of the Falling Star, she will directly pack up the Castells Collar and take it away.
For Louis V, who wanted to unify the Crescent Peninsula, this could not be tolerated.
In a word...... It's just very troublesome, and it feels troublesome to think about it.
It would be nice to say that with invincible strength, it would be better to drop ten times with one force.
But alas...... Although Charlotte is already a demigod, in this era when mortals can also slaughter gods, mythology is not invincible.
But in the same way, the greater the resistance, the greater the opportunity.
Thinking of this, Charlotte chuckled and said:
"Why is there no interest? This is the throne of the falling star sent to the door, don't be in vain. β
If the throne had been descended from heaven a year ago, Charlotte, who had no background at all, might still hesitate.
But now......
She already has the qualifications to become a "chess player" in the Miriaa Continent, and there is no reason why she will give away the throne when she encounters such a "good thing".
