The first, and legal, way, is to amend the country's law on royal succession. If the law of gender inheritance is changed from "equality between men and women" to "male priority", then the prince will receive the right of succession, and Alice, as the princess, will have to be ranked behind the younger prince. But it was difficult to change the laws of the empire, and it was even more difficult to change the laws of succession.

The laws of the empire were revised by the royal family and the nobles, and the emperor had no right to change the laws without permission. The only way to do this was to convene a Council of Estates-General, which would be approved by a two-thirds majority of the noble lords. And this refers only to the change of the ordinary law, and the standard of votes to amend the inheritance law is three-quarters.

However, if the lords and nobles of the northern faction unite, they can reach one-third of the total votes, and it is absolutely impossible for the southern faction to have a three-quarters majority in order to amend the inheritance law. Therefore, the possibility that the new queen wants to take away Alice's status as crown prince through legal means is not very small, but completely non-existent.

The second way is to make Alice disappear. Everybody gets it. This is the fundamental reason why the Assassins are still pouring into Luyun City, and Princess Alice has been assassinated as many as four times.

The current Luyun City is a dangerous city, with storms and clouds. Although Lu Yun's garrison has always been on the highest alert, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and there are many checkpoints and strict checks, the uneasiness still spreads to every corner of the city.

At Alice's invitation, lords and nobles from all over the north are gathering in Luyun City one after another, in the name of holding a grand festival of thanksgiving and light festivals. The news that Princess Alice is preparing to go south has gradually spread under the rumors that she is going to go south, and Princess Alice, who was not optimistic, is about to launch her fierce counterattack. Is the battle for the throne of the Caiyun Empire finally about to officially kick off?

But the new queen Rosie is not idle. When Princess Alice's biggest supporter, her maternal uncle, Duke Darren, the lord of Hexi Province, arrived in Luyun City. Alice, of course, was going out of the castle to greet her. But something unexpected happened. One of Duke Darren's attendants suddenly drew a poisonous dagger and threw it at the unsuspecting Princess Alice at close range.

Empress Rosie's assassination plan, which had cost a lot of money, finally succeeded this time, Alice was slashed in the arm by a dagger, and the black-green poison immediately invaded her body. Duke Darren was stunned, and the crowd around him panicked, and screams rang out. Soon, Linya, who reacted, pounced on Alice with her own body, and the lightning of the Caesar Magister fell from the sky, instantly blasting the attacker into a dry corpse with hair standing on end, and the resentful Queen Cyril burned another of the Assassin's accomplices who tried to take advantage of the chaos to charcoal.

It's a pity that Queen Rosie's extreme excitement didn't last for a few days. Linya only used up another drop of eaux-de-vie, and then Alice was healed by Magister Moita with superb natural magic. It took three days to completely remove the poison of the golden-winged grass. Lu Yuncheng is indeed a master now, and it is really not so easy to kill Alice under heavy protection in this situation.

The reality is so cruel that if the enemy does not die, you have to die. Lu Yuncheng has now entered the fast. Overt state of arms expansion. From the recruitment of soldiers, the creation of weapons and armor. Training of the army. The reserves of grain and grass for war horses are being carried out in a hurry and in an orderly manner. Cyril gave half of the 20,000 gold coins she had brought to Alice to help her strengthen her military strength. But then she learned that Linya had given 30,000 gold coins to Hillyl in advance, plus a large amount of supplies brought by Duke Darren, and the war preparations were even busier.

Of course, Linya, who was too thin-skinned, finally insisted on returning Cyrill's 10,000 gold coins to her. This is puzzling to many. But Cyril has already understood that this cute little moon is a funny guy who eats soft and not hard.

For all this, Alice left the emotion deep in her heart. No matter how many words of thanks, there is no meaning. Isn't it?

Linya stayed in Alice's room throughout the day, taking care of her injuries and chatting with her. It would have been a sweet and unforgettable time without Cyryl's light bulb left around, but unfortunately the beautiful atmosphere was ruined by that nasty, horrible and super-thick-skinned guy.

The target of the assassins from the south was Alice, but Linya, who had been staying by Princess Alice's side, was afraid that she would inevitably suffer from the fish in the pond. And there's another group of guys who have been wanting Alice dead, and they could follow at any moment. At this moment, Evan and Suzanne and Bender were even more busy and nervous, but Linya, the protected protagonist, had no sense of danger at all.

Seeing that the end of the year is approaching and the festival of light is approaching, Queen Isabel, who has been worrying about Lea, has quietly asked Suzanne about Linya's return date several times. However, it seems that the little princess has no plans to return home in the short term. Therefore, everyone discussed it and decided to have a good talk with the little princess.

That night, when Linya took Suzanne from Alice's dormitory back to her room, she found that the atmosphere was a little strange, because everyone gathered in the living room to wait for her, and when she saw her return, they got up and saluted together. "Good evening, Your Highness Princess. ”

"What's going on?is there any news from Leia?" asked Linya, a little curious.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, there are still a few days before the Thanksgiving Festival, and the Light Festival is about to begin, and you have been out for a few months. Now that the purpose of supporting Princess Elle has been achieved, it is time to go back to Cohen or Leia, right?It's too dangerous here, your father and queen mother worry about it every day, and I hope you will go back soon. Evan was the first to stand up and speak, and then everyone spoke one after another, all of them persuaded the little princess to go home as soon as possible for various reasons.

Linya looked at everyone and said a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, everyone. I know you're all looking out for me, thank you. But what I'm trying to tell you is...... We've made plans, Princess Alice and I, and Queen Cyryl, and we're going to visit Alice's father in Cloud City after the Festival of Light is over. ”

Everyone was stunned. Namiya didn't care about the wound on her chest that had not completely healed, and said hurriedly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you ...... Are you crazy? Go to Caiyun City, they will kill you! Even if Princess Alice has a hot brain, you shouldn't go crazy with her!"

Didn't you think so at the time? But now Linya could only smile bitterly and shake her head.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you promised us that you would no longer be impulsive and willful......"

Linya sighed, closed her eyes, and said, "I'm sorry, my dear ones. I know that this time I'm headstrong again...... But I promise, this is the last time!" Linya raised her right hand upwards in earnest, and swore, "Maybe this time it will be really dangerous, so I won't force everyone to go with me." But even if it's just me, I'll go. I've decided. (To be continued......)
