Sahain's promise surprised everyone present, including the church, who had expected that Sahain would ascend to the throne himself after taking Pesthanes, but Sahain would make such a promise. If he had retained the titles of the nobles, it was obviously unlikely that he would ever have been able to ascend to the throne again.

Generally speaking, a country that has been conquered by others will always suffer a great purge, and the first thing to purge is the original nobles, and then reward the heroes in order to sit on the throne. Although Savin was not the king in the first place, his strength was obviously able to ascend to the throne, and now that he has stated that he has stated that he has retained the original nobles, does he have no intention of ascending to the throne?

The frost on the faces of the nobles dissipated a little, and they would be happy to hear that they could retain their titles, and they would be happy to change them, after all, they are now defeated, and if the fish and meat on the chopping board of others can even save the title, then their lives should be safe.

Savan carefully watched the reaction of the nobles, and seeing that they were all relieved, knowing that they were right, he continued: "Because King Cecedo has agreed to abdicate because he has been defeated, Pesanis needs a new king now. At this point, Savin deliberately paused and glanced at the crowd.

The nobles held their breath, knowing that the matter had reached a critical point, and whether Samhain would announce that he was going to be king? Most of the nobles thought that Samhain must have wanted to be king himself, so he promised to keep the titles of the nobles, so it was too easy to buy the nobles......

However, Savan's next words made the nobles stunned, "I think the most suitable candidate to be the king of Pesanis at the moment is undoubtedly Lord Vaughn!" Sawan slowly said the king's candidate, and everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Vaughn, and Vaughn was surprised.

Sawan gestured to Vaughn and said, "Lord Vaughn, can I talk to you alone?"

Savan's words suddenly made the nobles' suspicion of Vaughn a little more aggravated, and many nobles secretly thought in their hearts: "Could it be that Vaughn has already secretly surrendered to Savan, otherwise why would Savan let him be the king, he is just the prime minister, why should he be the king......"

Vaughn didn't know how to answer with his mouth open for a long time, if he agreed to talk to Sawan alone, it would undoubtedly increase the suspicion of others, but if he didn't agree, would Sawin turn his face on the spot, and now Sawin is the one who has the final say. Vaughn hesitated for a long time, thinking that it would be better to talk to Savin, after all, he also wanted to know what Savan was up to.

"Okay, I'd like to talk to Lord Samin, but can you invite the others?" Vaughn tried to find a few more people to talk to with Samin, so that he could be relieved of suspicion.

Sawan shook his head and said, "I'll naturally meet with the other adults later, but before I do that, I want to talk to Lord Vaughn about some important issues. ”

Seeing that Sawin disagreed, Vaughn nodded and followed Sawan to a small reception room. After the two sat down, the people of the church immediately brought hot tea, and after a while, another person walked into the reception room, Vaughn looked up and was surprised, it was actually the red-robed archmage - Main.

"Mei ...... Master Main, how could you ......" Before he finished speaking, Vaughn secretly scolded himself for being stupid, since Sawan kept saying that he represented the church, how could the church not send heavyweights, but he didn't expect that the person who came would be Main.

The three of them sat down, and Sawan began to speak: "Lord Vaughn, there is no problem for you to be the king, right?" Savan asked so directly that Vaughn did not know how to answer.

Vaughn thought for a moment and said, "I am the prime minister of the kingdom, and if I ascend the throne, the nobles will probably not agree, so let's choose someone else, such as King Cedo and his brother and son, they are all suitable candidates." ”

Savan shook his head and said, "They are not chosen by the Church, and the Church thinks you are the most suitable person to be the king." ”

"Church?" Vaughn looked blankly at Main and saw that Main looked resigned, as if what Savan said meant what he meant.

Sawan continued: "The Church is willing to support you on the throne, and as for the nobles, since they have accepted my terms, they will naturally accept my request. Otherwise......"

Vaughn suddenly realized that retaining the titles of the nobles was a condition proposed by Savan, so it was naturally his request to make himself king. Vaughn turned his head quickly, he was a smart man, he had been the prime minister of Pesanis for many years, and it was not easy to be prime minister under a strong king, so he definitely did not lack political wisdom.

Suddenly, Vaughn suddenly understood Savan's true intention to make him king. It turned out that Sahain intended that the church would appoint the king, that is, the nobles would be canonized by the king, and the king would be appointed by the church, so the church would become the king's boss. And Sahain kept saying that he represented the church, which means that Sahain actually ruled the king on behalf of the church.

Thinking of this, Warnton felt a bitterness in his mouth, it turned out that this king was not so easy to be, and was actually just an agent of the church. Vaughn knows that this matter is not only related to his own fate, I am afraid that the influence will spread to the entire continent, and it seems that the real mastermind behind the scenes is the church, and the church is going to intervene in politics.

"Can I think about it?" Vaughn couldn't make up his mind after thinking about it, so he had to procrastinate.

"Of course, Lord Vaughn can think carefully about this matter, but it is best to give an answer within three days, after all, we do not want an outsider to be the king of Pesthanes. Sawan said with a smile.

Walking out of the reception room, Vaughn realized that his back was completely wet with sweat.

That night, Vaughn and his nobles were left in the Great Sanctuary for the night, and Sahain immediately ordered General Madis, of the city defenses, to be summoned with a royal talisman. Madeis didn't plan to come to see Savan, he cherished his reputation and didn't want to be a traitor, but he didn't have the courage to lead his army to fight Savin, especially when he thought of the Wyvern, he felt that there was no certainty of victory.

Eventually, he made it to the Great Church, but nominally to meet Prime Minister Vaughn. When Savin saw Madis, he said to him: "General Madis, I believe that you are a loyal man, and I do not want to occupy your homeland, so there is no conflict of interest in our nature, so I hope that you will continue to serve as a good city defense force as usual, and protect the city from the rampant situation of mobs." ”

Madeis thought that Savan was going to take him down, but in the end, he asked him to abide by his duties, and the prime minister Vaughn on the side did not even object, could it be that Vaughn had already surrendered? Madis looked at Savan in disbelief, and then at Vaughn, and finally couldn't raise an objection, because Savan gave him a reason not to resist, the other party was the army of the church, and would not occupy Pessanis.

Matis relied on this reason to convince himself to return to the city defense camp to continue his duties. After calming all sides, Sawan said to Main, "So far everything is going well, and then I'm going to start reorganizing the army." ”

Main already knew very well about Savan's plan, but he still found it a little hard to believe that this Savan's political wisdom was even better than he imagined, and he could resist not ascending to the throne, but chose to retreat behind the scenes and manipulate everything, knowing that it is not easy for a young man to reject the superficial scenery.

"Samhain, you really don't want to be king?" Main couldn't help but ask.

"Why do you want to be king? I don't want to be tied to that position and unable to move. Sawan laughed.

"Don't you want a title that is justified? It always feels a little awkward now, for example, this time, you are the Duke of Hydonnice, and everyone will naturally think that it is Hieronis who has captured Pessanis, and you might as well ascend to the throne and rule justifiably in the future. Main persuaded.

"Reputation...... Savan said, touching his chin, "this is indeed very important, but I would rather have the church give me this title." ”

Main had seen Savan like this many times, and his heart suddenly became vigilant: "What tricks is this guy going to do, every time I see him like this, he must have some ghost idea!"
