After the regular meeting of the palace, Khattar hurried all the way back to the manor without the slightest stop, ordered Anthony to be invited over, and told the whole story of the meeting at the first time, and then asked very confused.

"Master Anthony...... What's going on here? Why did my father change his attitude so suddenly? ”

After listening to Khattar's story, Anthony thought about it and quickly had a guess in his mind.

If they had only defeated the army of Grand Duke Rickman, the kingdom of Bazel would certainly not have reacted so much.

But now it was different, the tens of thousands of legions and dozens of nobles who went to the county were all slaughtered, which not only seriously affected the balance of power within the kingdom, but the strength they showed naturally made His Majesty the king feel fearful!

But this is exactly what Lynn wants, how can those wall-to-wall nobles believe that they can fight against the powerful church without showing off their muscles.

"It seems that my previous prediction was a little wrong, and your good father is probably not preparing to put you on the throne, but is just using you and me as bargaining chips to balance the power of the Holy See." Anthony shook his head and sighed.

Before, he underestimated the king of Bazel, who had ruled the kingdom for decades.

Antony thought that the other party was dissatisfied with the excessive interference of the church in secular affairs, so he was determined to put Hattar, who had a tendency to rebel against the Holy See, to the throne.

But judging from the reaction of His Majesty the King now, things are not as simple as he thought, Bazel just wants to use their power to weaken the power of the church, so as to strengthen the royal power, and has no intention of really falling out with the church.

Under Anthony's explanation and analysis, Khattar's pupils shrank, and his heart was cold, he didn't want to believe this, but he thought of his father's reaction in the hall, but he had to believe it.

This time, Harold's family of people defeated the group of mine slaves, and directly lost nearly half of the elite forces of the kingdom, although there were factors that the enemy's strength far exceeded expectations, but his good father did not pursue any punishment, and for Harold, there was not even a word of reprimand, and the bias was already obvious.

"Master Anthony? So what do we do now? Hatar panicked, in the past he only had to think about how to please his father, hoping that the other party would put him on the throne, but now this idea has failed.

"It depends on whether your supporters support His Majesty Bazel or your new king...... Anthony said quietly.

Hatar paused, his eyes flickering, of course he could understand what Anthony meant, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

In the face of great nobles like Rickman and Joyce, as well as Harold's supporters, he was able to give orders for slaughter without hesitation, but when it came to the real rebellion, Hartar was a little hesitant.

Anthony reminded Hattar of his hesitant appearance.

"Now is the time when the resistance within the kingdom is at its weakest, and it is also the best time for you to ascend to the throne."

The death of Rickman and dozens of other nobles means that the factions loyal to the Holy See in the kingdom have been hit harder than ever, if Hattar can seize the opportunity at this time and deal with those swinging nobles, he can directly reverse the throne and seize the throne by physical means!

"In addition, your justification and reaction in the main hall have revealed a lot of flaws, and there shouldn't be too much time left for you and me." Anthony continued.

They were able to stay in the palace safely, not only with the help of the second prince, but also with the acquiescence of King Bazel, but now the situation is only about to change one hundred and eighty degrees!

Khattar's face changed and changed, thinking that he had worked so hard and flattered, but in exchange for his father's indifference, his eyes became more and more fierce, and he had faintly made a decision in his heart.

The battle for the throne often ends in victory or death, and if his brother Harold succeeds to the throne, he will never let himself go!

"Master Anthony, I have a question, how many wizards did you dispatch to destroy the legion led by Grand Duke Rickman? How many Grand Wizards are there? Khattar asked calmly.

"I think you've probably misunderstood, just these more than 10,000 people are not enough for wizards to set foot on the battlefield." Anthony said proudly. "It's just ordinary soldiers with alchemy creations in their hands and some simple training."

Khattar was stunned, no matter the report of Nord and the others in the main hall, or the secret report sent by Gad, the information on it was enough to be described as an exaggeration.

Hearing that the entire sky was covered with a rain of fire, the thunderous sound was enough to burst the eardrums, and rows of soldiers kept falling, and the whole battlefield was like purgatory...... Is this really something that just some ordinary people with alchemy creations can do?

Archbishop Nord swore that there must have been an incomparably powerful archwizard who appeared on the battlefield and carried out a shameless sneak attack on them.

When he first heard this information, he thought that Anthony had personally taken action, but after asking the spies, he learned that His Excellency the Great Wizard had not left the royal capital......

"Without such power, what are we going to do against the Church and the Empire......" Anthony said with a sneer.

Antony's words undoubtedly reassured Hatar, so much so that the second prince had a delusion in his heart that the empire and the church were nothing more than that.

Fortunately, Khattar was not carried away by such fantasies, but asked a second crucial question.

"When I succeed to the throne, what kind of gifts do you need?"

"Of course, it is to allow wizards to walk in the world in a bright light, and as for the rest, as before, the magic belongs to the wizard, and the worldly belongs to the kingdom!" Anthony said with a smile. "Of course, it's better to have a part of our territory alone."

"Okay, no problem!" Hatar agreed without hesitation, although there are not many territories directly under the royal family, but when he ascends the throne, he always has to clean up a few uninteresting guys, such as the Rickman family who has lost power, and just take back the territory and find a few more canonizations.

Hatar is not too worried about these wizards crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, after hundreds of years of propaganda by the church, the idea that wizards represent evil is deeply rooted, and the other party needs to rely on them to survive in this kingdom, not to mention the common enemy of the empire and the church.

Thinking of this, Khattar discussed with Antony a plan to seize the throne......
