Chapter 343: Compromise
Heisenside's proposal surprised everyone, especially Ault and Albert, both of whom felt as if they had been seen through by the golden-robed archmage.
Ort had previously had the idea of marrying Selia to Sawan in order to strengthen the relationship between the Elshira family and the Holy Cult, but when he heard that Selia would be Savan's successor, this idea changed immediately. If Sawan handed over power, there would be no need for the El Hira family to take advantage of Cerea again, and now that Celea's marriage would have put his El Hira family's most important bargaining chip, there was no need to invest it in a place that would no longer generate profits.
Now Heisenside's proposal is like a sore spot in Aort, and he immediately objected: "Regarding this matter, I don't think there is too much to worry, I still have to discuss it with the family." ”
Heisenside lowered his face slightly, and said, "Didn't Lord Aort still be in a hurry just now?
Oult hurriedly said: "No, no, I didn't mean that, it's just that this matter is very important, and we should be more cautious." What the master said I think makes a lot of sense, and I'll think about it. Ault was sweating profusely, and his wrinkled face was flushed, and for the first time Savin had seen him in a mess.
"Sure enough, the amount is different!" Sawan secretly sighed: "The old fox of Oort can bargain with me, but he can't deal with it at all with Heisenside, in the end, he still has to rely on strength to speak......"
Ault was forced to retract his claim by Heisenside in two sentences, and Sawin knew in his heart that it was Heisenside who was supporting him, in that case, how could he be worthy of the golden-robed archmage if he didn't take the opportunity to squeeze the old fox?
Savin's eyes rolled and he thought about it, and he said, "Since Lord Alter wants to think about it again, then naturally there is no problem, why don't we talk about the current situation in Correa." I heard Alvin tell me that the key to the negotiation now is how to settle Correa's royal family, and I want to hear what Lord Ort thinks?"
How smart Ault was, he immediately understood Savan's plan, which was to take advantage of Heisenside's support to bargain with him...... Oult snorted coldly in his heart, this Sawan is cunning enough, and he is indeed a difficult opponent, but he also has a bottom line, and he must not back down when he lets El Hira ascend the throne.
Ault said, "Well, it's still early, so it's a good idea to have a chat." In my personal opinion, the original royal family is no longer suitable to rule Correa, and the best thing to do is to let the other families take on the duties of king. What does Lord Samhain think?"
Sawin nodded and said, "There are indeed a lot of inappropriate things about the king of Correa, but I think that is mainly the king's problem, and the responsibility of the other royal families does not seem to be very large, for the sake of Correa's stability, it is better to choose another king from the royal family." Master Heisenside, what do you think?"
Instead of asking Aort's opinion, Sawan asked Heisenside, obviously to get the golden-robed archmage to support him. Heisenside naturally understood and said: "I think Savan's opinion is very appropriate, instead of changing the family to govern, it is better to maintain the original royal rule, which can save a lot of trouble." ”
Savin and Heisenside teamed up to put pressure on Aort, which completely frustrated his plan to use Celea's marriage as a bargaining chip, and if both the Holy Army and the Magic Guild opposed it, it would be impossible for the Elshira family to sit on the throne. Oult has been preparing for this goal for many years, and it is not so easy to get him to die completely.
Ault was silent for a moment, then said, "Since both Master Heisenside and Master Sawan believe that the original royal family is more suitable to lead Correa, I will definitely seriously consider this matter, after all, we all hope that Correa can have a stable situation. In addition, Celia's marriage can be discussed slowly, and Master Lao has to worry about this matter, after all, Celiya is also a member of the church. ”
Albert was taken aback by Albert next to him when he came out, and he turned his head to look at his father, but he didn't expect him to change his mind so quickly. Savin Heisenside couldn't help but admire Ault a little in his heart, this old man really knew the current affairs very well, and immediately changed his position, his words were clearly a soft attitude, and he directly gave up using Selia's marriage as a bargaining chip, and also indicated that he would not forcibly ascend to the throne.
However, there is also a strong point in Ault's words, that is, the stability of Correa, if El Xira wants to make trouble, neither the Holy Army nor the Church can stop it, and out of the need for stability in the situation, Savan's side must also give corresponding promises.
Sawin thought for a moment and said, "Now Correa's stability is inseparable from the role of the Elsira family, so I think the king can be the original royal family, but there can be another regent, and the regent will preside over the state affairs, so I believe that the situation in Correa should be stable." ”
Savan's words made Ort's eyes light up suddenly, if he understood correctly, Sawin had agreed in principle to the El Hira family to become the de facto ruler, but the king still had to let the original royal family take the position, and the El Hira family might still have a chance to become the real king in the future.
Ort thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Lord Savan's proposal is very good, I speak on behalf of the Elsira family, and I support this proposal. With that, Ault turned his gaze to Heisenside.
Heisenside also nodded slightly: "I'm just a magician, and these things still depend on your lords, so I don't have anything to say." ”
Seeing that Heisenside did not object, Sawin also said with a smile: "I think this plan will definitely win everyone's support, it seems that today's talks are very fruitful!"
At this moment, the door creaked, and Celia broke in in a panic, and she saw that there were many people sitting in the house, and quickly said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”
Everyone focused their eyes on Celia, and they could see that her heart was furious. How did Celiya know that there had been a "war" related to her here not long ago.
Leaving the Lord's Palace, Albert accompanied Ault to the State Guest House, and compared with the eloquent conversation just now, Ault was now very silent. Albert followed all the way, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Father, why did you suddenly ...... just now?"
Albert didn't finish his sentence because Ault had already raised his hand to stop him, "I know you want to ask, why did I suddenly change my attitude, is that Albert?"
Albert replied humbly, "Don't dare, I just don't understand." ”
Albert said to Albert: "Albert, you remember, some things can be done, if you can't do it, you don't have to be too reluctant, if you can't do it today, you may be able to do it in the future, don't put a noose on yourself in everything, so that you can't turn back." Today's events, although we did not achieve the desired goal, but at least we have taken another step forward, and one day we will reach our goal. ”
After listening to his father's words, Albert said respectfully, "I understand, my father. ”
Heisenside and Main did not stay at the State Guest House in Haydonnes, and they were customary to stay at the local Grand Chapel. Savin and Celia accompanied the two masters towards the Great Chapel.
Sawan asked Heisenside, "The master himself came to canonize Selia this time, and it really made us Haydonis shine! But how could the master arrive today? I thought you would arrive tomorrow." ”
Heisenside smiled and said, "I'm not just here for the canonization this time, I also have to go to sea with you, so it's better to come early and prepare." ”
"What, Master, you're going too?" asked Savan in surprise.
"Hehe, that's natural, this is a rare event, how can I be willing if I don't go there myself?" said Heisenside with a mischievous look on his face.
Sawan turned his head to look at Main, who nodded slightly and said, "Master Heisenside will go with us to defeat the Kraken." ”
