Chapter 155: Left and Right Countries
"Please agree with Your Highness, this is also for the country!"
When the nobleman said this, Sophia frowned.
The Prime Minister of Bisconti cursed in his heart that if the Princesses had not met with all the ministers and nobles who had been informed of the plans, Bisconti would not have allowed such a fool to remain in such an important meeting.
Although Prime Minister Bisconti knew that the princess would not affect the overall situation because of such a trivial matter, he did not want the princess to lose trust in the old minister before she was crowned.
Sophia looked at the nobleman with cold eyes, she was not familiar with this person, but vaguely remembered that it was from the border near the southern border, what was it called? It seemed to be Felisa?
Prime Minister Bisconti saw Sophia's hesitation, and guessed that he didn't know who the nobleman was talking to.
This is not to blame Sophia, in fact, even the Prime Minister of Bisconti himself would not have remembered such a frontier count, and Count Feliza was so inconspicuous if he had not had everyone's information before the audience.
It's incredible.
Although the border earl is only an earl in the title, because he is stationed at the border, he even surpasses the marquis who does not hold an important position in terms of real power, and it is almost impossible for a person with such a status to become a transparent person in the upper circle if he does not do it intentionally.
Then Prime Minister Bisconti also had a corresponding question, why would such a frontier man whose presence in the upper circles was so faint that he was almost invisible say such indecent words at such a time?
Prime Minister Bisconti secretly jotted down the questions he did not understand, and continued his conversation without a smile.
"Please be careful what you say and do. Count Feliza, this is in front of Princess Sophia. ”
It was a little rude to give such a break before the princess spoke, but in order to keep the princess from losing her majesty in front of her subordinates. Prime Minister Bisconti preferred to be rude himself.
Sophia winked quietly at Prime Minister Sconti, then looked back at Feliza, who was bent over and bowed.
"Feliza, do you think you represent the country better than I am as a princess?"
Even if he didn't look up, Count Feliza could feel the coldness from the princess, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
"How dare Your Majesty think so?! Zai Xia is just daring to speak out of patriotic enthusiasm!"
Feliza's voice was visibly frightened, but this exaggerated performance must have come from the border guard. It always feels contrived.
Sophia also felt that there was something wrong with this border uncle, but now was not the time to pursue it, she just looked at Feliza border uncle coldly.
"So. Patriotic Feliza, since you are so loyal to the country, it is up to you to talk to the Leviathans about it?"
Feliza's body shuddered.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, please don't make such jokes......"
"This is no joke. ”
Sofia interrupted Feliza's words.
"I am pleased with the faithfulness of the Frontier Uncle. That's why I have entrusted this important mission to you. ”
This time. Feliza pushed his head even lower.
Even ordinary civilians know that Leviathan has a powerful hero named Einstein, and the top of the country knows more, and because they know more, they are more afraid.
The girl named Lucia was by no means as simple as it seemed, and it was definitely not the power that humans could have.
Sophia waited for a while, but no one said anything more, so she got up from her chair.
"I'll talk to Lucia about it, but I'm not sure I'll be able to convince her, and I'm not going to force it. Everything is based on Lucia's ideas. ”
As for letting Feliza go to the border, it was just a joke. Sophia didn't want to put her baby in front of people for people to watch.
Prime Minister Bisconti also knew that this was the princess's biggest concession, so he didn't say anything more, just silently bowed his head.
Sophia finally looked around the study, took all the ministers to heart, and slowly paced towards the door.
"At the end of this time, I will be unqualified as the first heir, after which I will hand over the country to my brother Leonardo. ”
Sophia's calm words made the air in the entire study freeze.
Prime Minister Bisconti looked up in shock, he couldn't believe what he had heard, this dignified and loyal servant who had served the royal family for forty years had never felt that the future was so dark.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, what do you say...... ”
Sophia stood in the doorway, the light spilling through the door blurring her figure, and she looked like she was about to disappear into the light.
"I've fulfilled my responsibilities as a princess, and even though I still haven't done a good job, I'm worthy of the country and its people, haven't I? ”
"Yes, if you are scrupled because of what happened before, then the old minister can guarantee that neither His Majesty nor the old minister are so willing to let you be held hostage, and they are only ...... because they have to. ”
The voice of the Prime Minister of Bisconti trembled with pain, and he had remained calm for a long time, and even the self-proclaimed 'subordinate' adopted to prevent the princess from feeling that she was relying on the old and selling the old had not been maintained.
"If you complain about this, whether it's the minister's head or anything else, please take it away, but don't say anything like abandoning the country!"
The prime minister, who was nearly sixty years old, fell to his knees and pleaded.
Sophia didn't intend to help, she just shook her head slightly.
"I don't blame you, and I don't have any intention of resenting anyone, being a hostage is my own will, just like my father did for the country, this is our responsibility as a royal family. ”
"So!"
Prime Minister Bisconti did not raise his head, he lowered his head and asked in a deep voice.
"So what made you give up your throne, your country, your people?"
Unlike the sorrow of Bisconti, Sophia's voice contains a sweetness that makes people feel intoxicated.
"It's because of another bond and responsibility. ”
Princess Sophia left the study, and although the scene cooled down, it was more active on a certain level than before, and everyone had an aura called 'planning' floating on them.
Because of the princess's astonishing declaration, the ministers present were all weighing the gains and losses, planning what to do to maximize the benefits after the princess gave up the inheritance, and Feliza was more excited than the others.
"I know that His Royal Highness Prince Leonardo has the qualifications to become the head of a country, and it seems that I have a good eye. ”
Although Duke Feliza did not dare to laugh loudly in the royal city, the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be concealed.
Hearing the words of Duke Feliza, many nobles began to put their hearts on Prince Leonardo, not that they did not expect it, but in this situation where the prince must be crowned, it is difficult to pay attention to the effect.
Clever nobles and time-honored ministers are watching from the sidelines, they are not short-sighted like these stupid hillbillies, they see through better than these people, knowing that the prince does not have the qualities to become a king, knowing that the heir to the country will only be Princess Sophia, not only a matter of talent, but more importantly support.
Simon Bisconti, the prime minister in charge of politics, Reinhardt Tolstoy, the general in charge of armaments, and the one-man city in charge of the secret institutions, as long as the princess renounces the right to inheritance, these three people who are in power only as the king will decide whether the prince is crowned or not.
"What are we going to do? Lord Biscondy. ”
One of the dukes asked cautiously, and even though he was standing behind the Prime Minister of Bisconti, he did not dare to come to his aid.
The Prime Minister of Bisconti knelt on the ground and looked in the direction the princess had left.
"You don't have to worry, I'll take care of everything. ”
It seems to be talking to himself, but it has the power of being irrefutable, Prime Minister Simon Bisconti said word by word.
"The country is destined to have only one master, and that master is Queen Sofia Lilbourne. ”
