-115- The sincerity of the Kingdom Council

Earl Stafford's kneeling not only startled Charlotte, but even the knights and maids who were in charge of standing guard in the parlor were stunned in unison, and their eyes converged in unison.

Charlotte had to stand up, coughed lightly, and said:

"Your Excellency Lord Stafford, you are joking, I am the Earl of Castel, a vassal of the Crescent Kingdom, not the Queen of the Falling Star, please hurry up......"

With that, she motioned for the knight of the guard to help Earl Stafford to his feet.

Instructed to do so, the knight hurriedly stepped forward and tried to support Earl Stafford, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake Earl Stafford.

There is no way, the difference in strength between the two sides is too big.

A blazing sun is shameless, and under the blazing sun, other transcendents don't want to let him get up.

The knight's face was about to turn red, but the Earl of Stafford remained motionless, and in desperation, the knight had to cast a look at Charlotte for help.

Seeing this, Charlotte had to sigh helplessly and waved her hand at Earl Stafford:

"Lord Count, please get up first."

The Earl of Stafford still had no intention of acting.

But as soon as Charlotte's voice fell, he felt a soft force acting on his body, forcibly "lifting" him.

This force is not pressing, and there is even a feeling of moisturizing and silent.

But the Earl of Stafford was shocked to find himself unable to contend with it.

Under this gentle force, he almost involuntarily stood up, and tried to kneel again, but it seemed impossible to do so.

"Let's all go down first."

Charlotte ordered the knights and maids around her.

The knights and maids saluted Charlotte and quickly departed.

When only Charlotte and Earl Stafford were left, Charlotte sat back in her seat and said:

"Your Excellency the Earl of Stafford, I think I already know what you are here for, now ...... We can have a good chat. ”

The Earl of Stafford had just recovered from the incredible power he had just had.

He looked at the young girl sitting on the lord's seat, and his eyes were amazed, curious, but more admiring:

"It is rumored that although the lord of Castel is young, he is an extremely good lord, not only with the blessing of the gods, but also with the extraordinary talent of genius......"

"I've always thought the rumors were exaggerated, but now look at it, where is this exaggeration, your power is even more amazing than the world realizes......

"Your Majesty, just ...... Is that the power of divine magic? ”

Charlotte didn't deny it.

It's good to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but there are times when you need to show your strength properly, especially in this otherworld where transcendence and bloodline are respected.

Charlotte smiled and said:

"Now that you have felt my power, you should also understand that a person like me would not be willing to become a puppet of any force."

As she spoke, she put away her smile and said meaningfully:

"I haven't said I'm going to accept the throne, let alone be crowned in the falling stars, and now calling me Your Majesty doesn't seem to me to be a sincere support."

"Your Excellency, I ...... I don't really like to be tempted. ”

Listening to Charlotte's words, the Earl of Stafford bowed apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Charlotte, but I was reckless."

"Although you have been famous in the past two years, there is still too little information about you within the falling star, and the kingdom council has decided that you must accept the throne on this trip...... That's what I did. ”

"Oh? Must? Your Excellency, do you know what it means to speak this word in negotiations? ”

Charlotte said in surprise.

The Earl of Stafford nodded:

"Of course, saying 'yes' in a negotiation will only make your side more disadvantageous, but in my opinion, it is also a sincerity to you."

"First of all, I must admit that many nobles in the kingdom council do want to support a king who has no roots in the falling star."

"But...... This does not include me, nor does it include the cabinet of the Falling Star Kingdom. ”

"Contrary to rumors, we don't want to be a puppet, but rather ...... What we hope to support is a bold enough monarch. ”

"I think you should also understand that the current situation of the falling star is not good, and a puppet monarch cannot lead the falling star to compete with the ill-intentioned blood clan and the fierce crescent moon kingdom."

Hearing these words from Earl Stafford, Charlotte was really surprised.

The attitude of the Council of the Falling Stars...... It's really different from what she imagined!

"Your Excellency, may I hear the reason? Sound...... You, and the Falling Star Cabinet, seem to be convinced, and have long thought that supporting me as the Queen of the Falling Stars was the right choice? ”

She asked, a little curious.

Charlotte was genuinely curious.

Although she is blessed as a saint of the Church, although she has defeated the coalition of two principalities, although she has the "official" bloodline of the Sword of Romance......

However, it seems too early to think that she will become a qualified king who will satisfy the Council of the Falling Star Kingdom based on this.

The Earl of Stafford nodded:

"Of course, in order to show your sincerity, I will answer any questions you may have."

"First of all, the Kingdom Council's decision to endorse you as Queen of the Falling Stars is indeed following the will of His Majesty Edward."

"Your bloodline is noble, even the Sword of Romance has impressed you, and from a legal point of view, you are undoubtedly the true inheritor of the falling star."

"You are a saint certified by the Holy Court, and supporting you as king will undoubtedly have the support of the Church, so that we can better fight against the Bloodline."

"However, it wasn't these reasons that really made us decide to welcome you back to the planet no matter what, but a prophecy from years ago......"

"Prophecy?"

Charlotte raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, prophecy."

The Earl of Stafford nodded, and continued:

"Years ago, when His Majesty Edward was still in power, he sought the observance of the heir of the falling star from a mysterious soothsayer, you know...... His Majesty Edward did not have many heirs during his lifetime, and the heir to the kingdom has always been a big problem. ”

"And the soothsayer told His Majesty Edward that the next heir to the falling star will be personally chosen by the Roman family's inheritance Excalibur."

"And the new king will lead the falling star out of the crisis of the civil war, out of the protracted suffering, and help the falling star become a pure land overseas in the coming troubled times......"

"Originally, His Majesty Edward was skeptical of this prophecy, but ...... The skill of the servant was profound, and several of her prophecies were later fulfilled. ”

"Not only that, but that servant master even angered the Ness Clan, who was good at observation, because the observation was too accurate, and was finally exterminated by the Ness Clan......

Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she said:

"So...... Would His Majesty Edward send Prince Henry to the Duchy of Romance to attend the Ancestral Recognition Ceremony? ”

The Earl of Stafford nodded:

"Yes. However, His Royal Highness the Prince is obviously not the prophesied heir, let alone being 'chosen' by the Sword of Romance, he has not even been 'recognized' by the Excalibur. ”

"That's why we finally realized when we learned that the missing Roman Sword had appeared in the Castel Territory and that we had already recognized you as Lord...... You are the prophesied heir to the Kingdom! ”

Listening to Earl Stafford's words, Charlotte bowed slightly.

She didn't expect that the reason for the Council of the Falling Star Kingdom to firmly support her turned out to be a prophecy.

The Kingdom of Falling Stars is worthy of being the stronghold of the Ness clan.

Not to mention the Nessian bloodline who is good at observation, even the humans in that place used to believe in prophecy like this!

"Lord Charlotte, the Council of the Kingdom has reached an agreement with the Roman Clan to jointly support you as the Queen of the Falling Star, you will have all the power of the King of the Falling Star, you don't need to compromise anything with the Council, you don't need to change your name, you can still use the surname of Castel."

"Of course, if there are really no conditions, it is not realistic, what the council needs is only to be able to restore the ancient electoral succession system of the Falling Star Kingdom after you step down from the throne, and after you, the Falling Star Throne will no longer be hereditary, but will be elected by the kingdom council from among the fiefdom nobles of the kingdom."

"In addition, after you step down, the Roman Sword will also be officially recognized as the Sword of Kingship of the Falling Star Kingdom, and will be kept by the Roman Clan......"

The Earl of Stafford said.

After speaking, he looked at Charlotte and said with sincerity:

"Lord Charlotte, you ...... Are you willing to accept our embrace and become the new Queen of the Falling Stars? ”
