Chapter 157: The Law of Succession
, the surrounding space seems to have been refreshed. The creator god was inexplicably Incheon" disappeared.
How could this be? He was a god, how could he have disappeared? He would never have disappeared without saying a word.
Linya's mood grew even colder. Is something wrong? What power can cut off oneself from the creator God?
It's absolutely incomprehensible!
Linya decides to reinvoke the creator god.
Usually when the tenth sentence is scolded, the hungry six people can't help but run out. But this time, no matter how much Linya scolded, the creator god seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Linya's heart seemed to have fallen into a cold abyss.
"Death, stinking, rotten, come out of here!"
Linya was calling anxiously when Namia hugged her excited body tightly.
"Princess. What's wrong with you? Are you having nightmares again?"
Linya finally woke up, remembering the scene just now, her heart was still pounding, hiding in Namia's arms and shivering.
"Impossible! impossible,"
"Alright, Your Highness Princess, it's okay, it's all over. Namia gently comforted the little princess.
But it was obviously impossible for Linya to forget what had just happened. God is omnipotent, is there any power in this world that can challenge God's power? This is really terrifying!
"It's still early days. Your Royal Highness, will you sleep a little longer? Namia comforted softly.
Linya shook her head, how could she still be asleep now.
Suzanne walked in softly and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Her Royal Highness seems to be having a nightmare."
"There's no problem with strictness, right? Then I'll go out first. You take good care of Princess Susanna, and you are about to quit as you say.
"Wait, Sister Suzanne, I can't sleep. Stay and talk. Linya stopped her.
"Well, what a terrible nightmare, tell us about it, maybe we can help you come up with an idea." Suzanne walked over to the bed and sat down.
Where can Linya speak.
"Am I very much like a girl?" asked Linya suddenly, thoughtlessly.
"Of course, Her Royal Highness is the cutest girl in the world!" Namia said with a quick smile.
Linya was immediately devastated.
"Am I not a little bit like a boy?" asked Linya, reluctantly.
Suzanne thought and wanted to say, "It seems that there is no sigh"
Linya really wanted to run away. But held back. Be calm! Calm down! We must no longer act willfully and recklessly, and be unscrupulous.
I have to look like a mature grown!
Linya carefully reflected on the words of the Creation God, and felt a little blushing again.
Am I really a girl, a girl who is rude, willful, weak, and doesn't dare to take responsibility, even though I don't agree with that."
But isn't she hiding in Namia's arms like a kitten now?, Linya quickly got out and sat upright.
Linya suddenly remembered a very strict question, and hurriedly asked sternly: "Sister Susanna, I have thought of something, "If I become the king of Sachnea, won't I lose the inheritance of the Red Leaf Empire?"
"No, Princess. There is no such thing. Suzanne hurriedly comforted.
"But if I become Queen of Sachnea, then I will be a foreigner to the Red Leaf Empire," Linya couldn't think clearly
Suzanne thought for a moment and said, "Well, Your Highness the Princess, how about I tell you about the main laws of succession in various countries? There are some things that are not clear in three or two sentences, but when I finish speaking, I hope you can understand it." ”
"Yes, yes, yes". Linya nodded repeatedly.
The succession of father and son has always been a matter of course. Since the advent of human society, the law of inheritance has emerged. And the king's throne, as a special property, is of course also within this law of succession. It's just that due to regional and cultural differences, there are many differences in the laws of succession to the throne of various countries.
The Bright Moon Empire's primogeniture inheritance method was originally the most common inheritance law in the world. The most important feature of this inheritance method is that the throne is inherited by the eldest son. The princess of the Mingyue Empire has no right of inheritance, only the prince has the right of inheritance. The princes are arranged in order of eldest and youngest. Because of his status as the eldest son of the emperor, Rofitte became the first heir to the throne.
But this inheritance law has gradually been abandoned. The main reason is, of course, because of its discrimination against women. Took away the inheritance rights of the princesses. In an era when people's thinking is maturing and the concept of gender equality is growing, this primitive and backward inheritance law is of course criticized by more and more people.
Compared with the overly conservative inheritance law of the Mingyue Empire, the blood order inheritance law of the Caiyun Empire is much more enlightened. The core idea of the law of blood order inheritance is the abandonment of sexual rigidity. The law of inheritance for men and women is equal. All the blood children of the king were ordered by the "sword" law in order of age.
Princess Alice is the eldest daughter of Emperor Morris of the Caiyun Empire, so she can become the first heir to the throne of the Caiyun Empire. As for the little prince of the stepmother who appeared later. Although he is a boy, he can only be ranked behind Alice.
Although Princess Alice's relationship with Emperor Maurice's father and daughter is now about to break down, this will not change her status as the first heir to the empire. Since it is the Moses Emperor, he has no right to change the heirs or the laws of succession without authorization. As for the little prince. His identity was not even confirmed by the nobles. The fact that he and the new queen gave birth to the little prince was not known beforehand. This is also the reason why the nobles of the Caiyun Empire are dissatisfied and most of them support Princess Alice.
Since Emperor Maurice had the heart to let his youngest son inherit the throne. But I'm afraid it's not that easy. This is the reason why people are secretly speculating that the Caiyun Empire may be about to fall into a civil war.
In terms of the law of inheritance, it can be shown that the Moon Empire is too conservative and the Caiyun Empire is very enlightened, like two extremes. But there are many other countries that fall somewhere between these two extremes. Take the kingdom of Sachnea, for example.
The law of succession in the Kingdom of Sachnea is the law of quasi-consanguinous succession. There are two core elements of this inheritance law: the prince inherits more than the princess. Heirs of the same sex are listed in chronological order. In layman's terms, when there is a prince, the prince has priority over the princess to inherit the throne, and when there is no prince, it will be the princess's turn to inherit. Between princes and princesses, they are arranged in order of age.
Therefore, although Linya's mother, Queen Isabel, was older than her younger brother Lloyd, Sachania's throne was still inherited by Lloyd.
"Let's go, this is it!" Linya interrupted Susanna's explanation and asked, "This is what I never figured out." Since it is a quasi-blood succession method, no matter how the throne of Sachchenia is arranged, it should be inherited by Brother Yax, why should I, the youngest and princess, inherit it?" Linya was puzzled.
"Well, that's it, because it's a bit of a special situation. King Royd does not have biological children, so the Seville family may be extinct in his generation, and according to the terms of closest blood, Queen Isabel's children are the closest in blood, so Prince Jax, Prince Orlando and Her Royal Highness the Princess will become the legitimate heir to the throne of Sachnea. However, since none of the existing heirs to the throne are the biological children of the current king, the current king has the right to appoint an heir directly from among the closest legal heirs in accordance with the special provisions of the succession law of the Kingdom of Sachania. It is entirely legal for King Lloyd to directly appoint you as his heir to the throne under this clause. If he relinquishes this right, the throne of Sachnea that will be left after his death will be inherited by His Royal Highness Jax in accordance with the original method of succession. ”
"I see," Kiya finally understood. It seems that this law of succession to the throne is really a troublesome thing.
The Bright Moon Empire, the Caiyun Empire, and the Sachonia Kingdom, the inheritance laws of these three kingdoms are the three typical inheritance laws. Of course, there are also some similar laws of succession to the throne. This type of inheritance law has one thing in common, that is, the sequential inheritance method. The order of heirs is in order of age. Later, some new inheritance laws gradually emerged, which abandoned the sequential succession method, and selected the most suitable heir to inherit the throne.
The Red Leaf Empire's blood rivalry inheritance law is one of the extremes. It is said to be extreme because all princes and princesses have the same inheritance rights, but the process of competition is extremely cruel. It was a live competition, and only the heirs who survived the final competition could finally get the right to inherit the throne!
All heirs who have reached the age of eighteen will receive a piece of land, and when two or more heirs reach adulthood, the succession competition will begin until only the last winner remains. The final heir to the throne will only be determined after all the heirs have reached adulthood and the succession competition has passed
In any case, this method of consanguineous competitive succession is clearly superior to those of sequential succession. It's just that this bloody and cruel process has been criticized
However, this cruel competition has now been replaced by Linya with her game.
"Because Her Royal Highness the Princess has invented this invincible game of Heroes of Might and Magic with infinite creativity, there is no excuse for others to accuse our empire of the law of competitive succession now! You know, those old antiques often can't choose the best heir to the throne! What if the eldest son of the king is a mentally retarded child? There have never been such interesting things before!" Suzanne praised Linya's wisdom from the bottom of her heart, which made Linya listen very comfortably.
