It's been a long time since Daisily Pombo was as nervous as he was just now.

As the former Prime Minister of the Kingdom, he was ready to rule in place of the King, and he had enjoyed a power he had never enjoyed before in the past three months.

And just now, he suddenly felt a mountain of pressure that made him breathless,

This is pressure from the young king on the throne!

This is buried deep in the depths of Daisy-Pombo, subconsciously fearing and fearing the Reagan family!

The Pombo family has been loyal to the Reagan family for nearly 400 years, longer than the Empire.

In this long time, the Reagan family went from being a small commander in the nomadic period of humans to the rulers of the current Kingdom of Kruria.

And the Pombo family, who have been following him, have been awarded the title of 'Reagan Family Arm Guards' because of their loyalty.

In recent years, as the Reagan family has become more and more powerful, the Pombo family, as its main followers, has naturally become extremely prosperous.

Supreme authority and honor, which Daisily Pombo indulged in.

During Duke Nick's tenure as Prime Minister of the Empire, he took over most of the power of the realm during Count Omar's reign over Fort Kaval.

In the beginning, he only used the power in his hands to make some small profits for his family, but as time went on, he became more and more emboldened.

Later, he even dared to directly swallow the entire cargo ship of the castle caravan.

In the later orc wars, he didn't want to be greedy for that money.

But

When a person's greed becomes a habit, it is almost impossible to stop!

After Crewe became the ruler of the kingdom, he became the first prime minister of the kingdom with the election of many supporters.

But his greed was not restrained by this,

Although, he no longer coveted money, but he began to covet authority!

Not satisfied with the power of the prime minister now limited by the royal power, he wanted to become a prime minister like the Grand Duke of Patweed, and in doing so, he launched his campaign against the royal power.

He considered himself to be acting in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom,

He thought he could represent the nobles of the kingdom and govern the country with the king on their behalf.

As he pressed in, the rest of the cabinet compromised, and the young king suddenly fell silent. As a result, his courage has become bigger and bigger, and in just a few months since the founding of the country, the power in his hands has become heavier and heavier, and it seems... He was on the verge of achieving his goal.

But suddenly,

The young ruler on the throne seemed to have woken up from a deep sleep, and for the first time he got up early in the morning, and began to check the logs of the various ministries, as was customary.

The king's unusual behavior made the complacent Daisily Pombotton feel a huge pressure all over his body,

But it's just the pressure.

He wasn't as nervous as he used to be, or rather... Afraid.

After receiving the news from his assistant, he had been thinking about what he might have done recently in his journal in order to answer the king's questions later.

The news brought by the assistant in front of the castle gate made the only pressure and tension he had disappear.

After entering the Prime Minister's Office, Daisily Pombo gathered his henchmen and discussed in a grand manner what language the king should use to answer the government diary... Or deception.

When the secretary of the Secretariat in the King's Office in the Inner Chambers summoned the Prime Minister, they did not even shy away from it.

At a quarter past seven, Daisily Pombo arrived punctually in the lounge outside the King's office.

He was the last to arrive, but all the cabinet members gave way for him to be at the front.

The humble attitude of the cabinet minister made a deliberate smile involuntarily appear on Daisily Pombo's face, and he was triumphant and arrogant.

The door of the "creak" office was on the wall of the main entrance of the lounge, and when the clock reached half past seven, it was opened from the inside, and at the same time, the secretary general, Knight Otwood, whispered to the ministers in the lounge, "Your Majesty let you in." ”

Daisily Pombo didn't say anything polite to anyone, and rushed into the office first.

The unpleasant smell of tobacco in the office mixed with the bitterness of the coffee, creating a very strange smell.

Daisily Pombo twitched his nose slightly, his gaze falling on the king behind his desk as soon as he entered the room. He approached slowly with due respect, but as he approached his desk, he found that the clerk, Sir Benje Alva, and the knight of the King's servant, Rory Greda, were there.

"Just find a place to sit. Pedi's tone was gentle at the moment.

Daisily Pombo glanced sideways at the other cabinet members and the two King's advisers who had followed, and sat down unceremoniously in the chair closest to his desk.

Then the other ministers went to their usual seats, ready to listen to the king's inquiry.

But Pedi didn't speak immediately, he was fascinated by a document.

The office suddenly became extremely quiet, and Daisily Pombo saw that the king did not speak for the first time, and the subconscious organizational language in his mind was ready to break the silence first.

"Your Majesty—" The Prime Minister leaned forward slightly, as if he was about to speak.

"Alright, let's get started. Pedi interrupted what the Prime Minister was about to say, and he didn't seem to notice the Prime Minister who was about to speak, and continued to himself: "Yesterday I gave myself a day off because I wanted to sleep before the end of winter. ”

A normal joking smile appeared on Pedy's face, "Trust me, it's a great pleasure to sleep until you wake up naturally in the winter... No wonder the nobles of the kingdom always like to start their work in the afternoon. He closed the document he had just flipped through, lightly tapped the cover of the document with his finger and whispered, "I just want to know, what is the use of the kingdom raising those nobles?"

"Your Majesty!" Daisily Pombo couldn't help but stand up, and quietly looked at the other cabinet ministers in the room out of the corner of his eye...

The War Secretary, Sir Sir Sir Sheila Marne, as usual, looked through the report she had brought with herself, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Edwin Field, still looked at the King in front of him with a smiling smile, and the two advisers listened carefully to the King's voice with their heads bowed.

Nothing out of the ordinary!

Daisily Pombo said to himself in his heart, and said with a serious expression on his face: "The nobles exist to defend the kingdom, and in the past two hundred years, they have fought bloodily for your family, and the endless warrior cemetery outside the city is a proof of their worth!"

"Maybe they were once great warriors, but now?" said Pedi to his prime minister, "now they will only stay in the council of nobles or in the taverns of the city, and judge the decisions of the kingdom and drive public opinion against their king. ”

"Your Majesty, they also want to serve the kingdom, but..."

"What a chance!" Pei Di interrupted the Prime Minister, "As the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, you should be well aware of the talent gap that the country needs right now, and what are our nobles doing?"

"However, those are only some low-ranking positions, which do not correspond to the status of nobility..."

"Marquis... As the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, do you represent the interests of the Kingdom or the interests of the nobility?" said Pedi again, and his tone was no longer as gentle as it had been before.

This is a very serious and acute question.

The muscles on Daisily Pombo's face couldn't help but tremble slightly when he heard this, and he tried his best to control his expression.

Edwin Film, who was smiling all over his face, was a little embarrassed by the King's question, and he quickly lowered his head to hide the embarrassment on his face, and Sira Marne stopped looking at the papers in his hand, and his eyes fell on Pedy's slightly cold face at the moment.

Although the two advisers also wanted to hide the sudden change in the expression on their faces, they still couldn't help but raise their eyelids to look at Pedi, and then at the Prime Minister of the Kingdom who was standing at the forefront of his desk. Other members of the Cabinet, such as Sir Bipp, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Paul the University Scholar, all buried their heads in their chests and were determined not to join the dialogue.

Daisily Pombo felt the gaze of the crowd and he knew that this question had to be answered, otherwise his majesty as prime minister would be dealt a serious blow later. Although the king's sudden question brought him infinite pressure, he was not nervous because of it, and he confidently looked at the king:

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet was originally elected by the representatives of many nobles, and I can represent them... For more than two hundred years, the nobility of the kingdom was the kingdom itself, that is, they could represent the interests of the majority of the people in the kingdom, and therefore the interests of the kingdom... So, it's one thing!"

"Very well!" Pedi leaned back in his chair, "that's how you understand the nobility, and you're still in the prime minister's position...", he pointed to the chair next to Daisily Pombo, "you sit down first." ”

"Sir Edwin, tell me what you think, too. Pedy pointed at Edwin Filming, and then looked at the clerk in the corner, Sir Benjie Alva, "The Prime Minister's words should be recorded word for word, and the same goes for Sir Edwin's words!"

After everyone heard Peidi's words, they all subconsciously looked at the clerk in the corner who had a very low sense of existence. Daisily Pombo's face did not fluctuate, and Edwin Fellin showed an exaggerated flattered expression, "ahem" He coughed lightly, and when everyone's eyes fell on him, he first nodded to Daisily Pombo beside him, and then said:

"The Marquis of Daisily just said that the kingdom itself is these nobles, and their interests are equal to the interests of the kingdom, and they are equal to the interests of Your Majesty, this is the consensus of all nobles... For for a long time in the last two hundred years, they existed to maintain the pyramid-like rule of the entire Kru Realm. ”

"If fifty years ago, I might have agreed with the Marquis of Daisili, but now—" Edwin shook his head, and continued in Daisili-Pombo's surprised gaze, "but for the present kingdom, such a statement does not hold, for the nobility has long since lost its dominance, and the new commercial system of towns has long since replaced the nobility, and the commercial value of the towns themselves... That is, the merchants of the city itself, as well as the large number of workers, were more representative of the kingdom. ”

"It's terrible to say something like this, it's going to provoke a war!" Daisily Pombo looked at Edwin Filmin coldly, "Do you want to learn from the merchants of the Elok Territory to make a revolution in what they call it?"

"I never wanted to come over to a war. Edwin Fellin shrugged innocently, "I don't have the ability to start any war, I'm just stating my opinion, well... Personal opinion. ”

"Marquis Daisili!" said Pedi's voice, "this is the King's Office, not the Prime Minister's Office, where all the Cabinet Ministers can speak their minds. ”

Pedy's words were soft, but the warning and displeasure in his words made Daisily Pombo swallow back when he was ready to refute Edwin Film.

After a brief silence in the room, Pedy looked at Edwin Film, "Go on. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Edwin Fellin smiled humbly, "I think... The era of aristocratic rule was long over, because they could only represent themselves, and the kingdom now needed a ruling class that could represent all the class groups, such as merchants, workers, farmers, etc. ”

"In other words, we need to abolish the inherent privileges of the traditional aristocracy as soon as possible, let them integrate into the existing political environment of the kingdom before they are completely corrupted, and let them adapt to their new jobs..."

"I'm very sorry, Sir Edwin, but allow me to interrupt. Daisily Pombo was not as domineering as he had just now, he first saluted the king and then looked at Edwin Fellin and said, "You are denying yourself by saying these things, sir. ”

"No, Marquis Daisyri. Edwin Fellin looked at the Prime Minister, "I maintain a sense of reverence and honor for the struggles of my family's ancestors, but times have changed, and we must also make changes, and the former empire was abandoned by the times because it did not conform to history!"

"Without this history, there would be no Kingdom of Krulia today!" Daisily Pombo's voice suddenly became louder, "Why do you have such dangerous thoughts...", he glanced at the rest of the room, his gaze lingered on Sir Sir Sir Sira-Marne for a few more moments before looking at Pedi, "My Majesty, Sir Edwin's idea is terrible, he wants to put commoners and nobles on an equal footing... When people no longer fear the nobility and the kingship, the whole kingdom will be in turmoil!"

"He wants to subvert the royal rule!" Daisily Pombo stood up and pointed at the tip of Edwin Film's nose, looked at Pedi and said, "Your Majesty, all his remarks are a denial of our existence, a denial of the existence of royal power!"

"Oh?" said Pedi smiled softly, staring at his Chancellor of the Exchequer without commenting.

"Your Majesty," Edwin Fellin also rose from his seat, and he bowed down to keep his gaze below that of the King, "the time of ruling by reverence is long over, for the dark age of ignorance will soon pass as the middle class grows in the cities, and we must satisfy the new demands of these people in order to maintain the rule of the government and the continuation of royal power." ”
