The ceremonial group of the royal capital was still thirty miles away, and at this time, Colin returned to the Mage Tower.

The mage tower was visibly deserted.

Roman Sagan still sits in his study, and it seems that he will always be in this state.

"Teacher."

Colin pushed open the door and walked in with a dim sum void.

"When this time comes, I should know that Charlie and Daniel went to Charya?" Roman seems to have been waiting for him for a long time.

"They'll be at the fortress soon." Colin said, "Why did the two princes come?" ”

"There are only a few members of the royal family, Your Majesty can't leave the royal capital easily, is there any problem with the two princes attending their sister's wedding?"

"But I don't know them well, and I don't know what etiquette to greet them."

"This kind of thing will be solved by Tessa." Roman said: "Besides, it's not so troublesome, the two of them don't have any titles and fiefs, and you are the Lord of Xiaya, who is personally appointed by His Majesty, in terms of status, there is no difference between you." ”

Colin only remembered at this time that because of the implementation of the New Deal, the younger generation of the royal family did not have a knighthood, and only Veronica had a nominal fief.

"Teacher, I'm curious, if one of the princes inherits the throne, what will happen to the other?"

According to Tulumnian tradition, the prince would have another fief and title according to the degree of favor of the king, and once the new king succeeded to the throne, he would leave the royal capital and go to his own fief, and theoretically no longer be a member of the royal family, such as the Duke of Violet.

Relatively speaking, Oshik's situation is much simpler, although he still retains the tradition of knighthood, but the entire empire's territory and military affairs are all in the hands of His Majesty the young emperor, and the reforms of Alan IV basically follow the line of Oshik in the past few decades, but it is clear that the effect is not so fast.

The Western Continent is a completely different model, the position of the head of the principality is not passed down from generation to generation, but by election, but the right to vote is limited to the House of Nobles, not to mention the Blue Alliance, behind all elections, there is the influence of the Magic Federation.

"To be honest, Your Majesty hasn't thought this through yet." Roman slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed: "If according to Oshik's custom, a prince who has not inherited the throne will live in the royal capital for the rest of his life, rich and noble, but he will not have any actual rights. At the beginning, Fairmont's actions were to set an example for future generations, but His Majesty still trusted him and let him continue to hold the power. ”

"That'...... Teacher. Colin sneakily leaned his head over and whispered, "Your Majesty, has you thought about which prince will succeed you?" ”

There is no strict primogeniture in this world, although Colin is not familiar with the two princes, but he has heard of it somewhat, and like any vulgar and bloody palace fighting drama, Charlie and Daniel are also fighting openly and secretly in all aspects, all of which will not stop until Alan IV has no heir designated.

In Colin's view, because not continuing the throne is almost equivalent to losing all rights, even if the old kingdom appoints an heir, the other may not necessarily give up.

"Does this have anything to do with you?" Roman glanced at him with a smirk.

"Of course." Colin said confidently: "Knowing which will be the future king, I can make a fool of myself in advance." ”

In any case, Shaya is still Tulum's territory, and Colin Vane is also a vassal of Alan IV, and under normal circumstances, will continue to be loyal to the new king.

Roman was speechless for a moment, and only after a moment did he hit Colin on the head with his pipe: "It's really useless." ”

"Any prince who succeeds to the throne must face two internal problems, one is to stabilize Duke Varant, and the other is to ensure the stability of Shaya, so, before they really ascend the throne, only they ask for your share."

"Okay." Colin said that he couldn't eat it as a meal, if he could change it for hundreds of thousands of gold langs, he would definitely not hesitate to do it.

"As for the heir, His Majesty has not yet made a final decision." Roman sighed: "It's not that he wants to see his two sons fight, it's not a test, I once told you, Charlie is brave and good at fighting, he has always been in charge of the pirate problem in the east over the years, but he is old-fashioned and loyal, and Daniel has a flexible mind, but the prestige is insufficient, both of these two can be a king who keeps it, but what they have to face is Oshik and the Blue Alliance, after all, there is still a gap." ”

Colin could imagine the dilemma of Alan IV, neither of his sons was capable of facing a strong enemy, and in another twenty years, once Roman Sagan's peak was over, Tulun would be even less of a great deterrent.

In this case, whoever is chosen to succeed to the throne is more likely to harm whom.

As a father and as a king, it was a painful choice.

"Teacher, when are you and the Duke leaving?" Colin asked.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?"

"I have a lot of questions for you about that Chaos Night Pearl." Colin Road.

In terms of space magic, the only thing Colin can discuss with is the teacher, but he can't move all the things in the fortress laboratory.

The Chaos Night Pearl is the biggest breakthrough today, but there hasn't been much progress other than replacing materials.

……

Return to the fortress.

Colin came to the study and saw that the senior sister was still busy at the desk.

"Senior sister, the honor guard of the royal capital is about to arrive at the fortress."

"Oh." The chief assistant didn't care too much.

"It seems that the two princes have also come together."

"Come on." Tessa is still working hard to write.

"But I don't have any experience at all, do you want to prepare any ceremony to welcome you?"

"Is it necessary?" Tessa finally looked up.

"This ...... In the end, it is a prince, how can I give some face, not to mention that I am also ready to make Xia Ya a state of etiquette......" Colin said seriously.

"The State of Ceremonies? Fortress? Tessa was stunned.

Since Madeleine's death, the "unguarded" fortress has been running wild in deviating from traditional etiquette, with a young lord who is not known for etiquette, his subordinates are either commoners or orphans, and Sophia, the only one who is indifferent to everything but farming.

Colin sneered, "No one in the main fortress knows about this, and the teacher asked me to ask you." ”

Tessa thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "How simple is this, didn't they come with the ceremonial officials and honor guards of the royal capital?" ”

"yes." Colin was puzzled.

"Then send someone to tell Charlie and Daniel to wait where they are for a while, first call the ceremonial officer and the honor guard to the fortress, and then let them welcome the two princes."

"This ...... Not so good. Colin was a little stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong." Tessa stood up: "I'll go and say it myself to see if they dare to disagree!" ”
