Chapter 295 I support Silaire, who is in favor and who is against?

Grant guardianship of the kingdom and exercise the powers of a governor?

When Roland learned that, along with Archmage Watson, Lei, Blaise and others, they were all shocked.

This means that Atrein intends to leave all matters here to Roland to solve!
Some very small things can affect the whole body, let alone a whole world's colonies?
This not only involves the current situation on the plane, the challenger Automedia Empire, the Abyss Legion, the Hell Devil, but also the interests of the Cowlens family and the Mage Legion, the comprador class in the country that is connected to Reiner's world, and so on.

Roland looked at the secret letter sent from the highest level of the committee, but he thought of the situation of the European noble lords in Blue Star in his previous life.

The so-called guardianship/suzerainty of those lords is a historical concept that refers to the authority and control of a lord over a specific territory and its people. It was very common in feudal societies in medieval and early modern Europe.

Why not put it in human terms and explain it in a way similar to "the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers"?

That's because most of the kingdoms in Europe in the Middle Ages, in addition to religious wars, were wars between relatives.

As for relatives, it involves orphans and widows, brothers fighting for property, custody, and inheritance.

It is more like viewing Reiner's world as a child that has not yet grown up and needs the supervision of parents or elders.

Of course, the actual situation would never be so tender.

Its essence is still the right to dominate the vassal countries.

"I understand. Thank you for the committee's trust. I will perform well."

Roland replied calmly on the surface, but actually he was panicking inside.

Playing a strategy game, you are afraid of losing. Such a big world, so many lives, lives, wealth, countless interest entanglements, and responsibility for cause and effect are much more exciting than a strategy game.

Can you really do it yourself?
……

In the early morning, at dawn, two carriages entered Savalan under the escort of the mage group and went straight to the palace.

Rosa was sitting in the carriage at the back, holding her heart in her hands, frowning in thought, looking troubled and incomprehensible.

It wasn't until the carriage stopped and the maid opened the door and asked her to get out of the car that she suddenly came back to her senses.

Queen Josephine was already waiting inside. When she saw Rosa and Silaire come in to pay their respects, a long-lost smile finally appeared on her haggard face: "You are back."

Princess Rosa asked: "Queen Mother, how is the situation in the royal capital now? When I entered the city, I saw that the streets were under martial law, and even the horse posts were set up. Who is in charge?"

"It's Ferrie..."

The queen's expression instantly became a little ugly.

Rosa was also surprised.

The Felie mentioned by the queen was the legitimate son of the previous king of East Lena. He was originally the first in line and the heir with the title of "young lion of the kingdom".

Just because he showed hostility towards Atrein during a banquet, the ministers headed by the comprador faction jointly forced him into the palace, and deprived him of his inheritance rights on the pretext of "drunk immorality".

The previous king was unable to prevent this from happening. He was so angry that he vomited blood and fell ill.

No lord in the kingdom sympathized with him, but instead a fierce battle broke out. Several powerful heirs fought one after another, even at the cost of selling the country's rights and interests to please Atrein.

This aroused great indignation among the nativists.

Although after many years of rule, Reiner's world has already completed systematic enslavement education, and no one cares about betraying Reiner's interests. However, many territories, minerals and some local treasures unique to Reiner's world are their own private property.

Tolerable or unbearable!
The local lords consciously cut their ties with the emerging aristocracy, which was dominated by the comprador class, forming an incompatible and hostile camp.

The two factions continued to quarrel until the king died of illness, but there was still no winner. In the end, Bolas personally selected the lower-ranked person, Arkham XIV, who was still a little prince at the time, to become the king.

But over the years, Prince Ferrer and others have not been weakened too much, and they have even won the support of more feudal nobles, and their names have become "Lions of the Kingdom".

This is Atrein's conspiracy to divide the Reiner people and make the elites fall into internal fights, leaving them with no time left to do other things.

Originally, all this was under control, but after the massacre at the Governor's Mansion, Prince Ferrer and the troops from the territories under his name were transferred over, and they inadvertently took control of Savaran.

In addition, Archmage Bolas has not been seen for a long time recently, and some ambitious people have boldly speculated that he has not recovered from the injuries he suffered in the last battle, and may even die soon.

Ferrer simply led his troops into the city, intervened in the affairs of the royal capital in the name of stabilizing the situation, and conducted further tests.

Rosa had admired her uncle for a long time. She never thought that he would be the first to come out during this incident and take the initiative to stand at the forefront of the storm.

She couldn't help but sigh, shook her head helplessly, and asked about more practical matters: "What do you mean by succession to the throne?"

The Queen said: “This matter can only be accomplished with the support of the lords from all over the world.

Originally, as the first heir, there was no problem for Silaire to ascend the throne and become the king, but now there are some rumors supporting Ferrie. Even the court mage said that the Atrehine people might choose Ferrie instead of Silai. you. "

"Indeed, the situation is not right now. Atrein is in urgent need of a strong person to stabilize the current situation, and it is really possible that he will choose Uncle Fei Lie."

Rosa wanted to meet Ferret and ask him if he was still obsessed with the throne.

But then I thought about it, as a junior and a descendant of a transgressor, I really had no right to ask.

She couldn't help but sigh secretly, feeling depressed.

……

The gathering of royal family members came earlier than expected.

Due to the introduction of high-magic technologies such as the communication technology of the Atrein people and magical vehicles, these royal members who were scattered throughout the kingdom arrived one after another in just two days and gathered together.

Also arriving at the same time were lords from various places.

They may not necessarily have a blood connection with the Arkham family, but they are all feudal landowners, the real masters of this country.

Funerals in the wizarding world do not need to be grandly organized, so the issue of succession to the throne is more discussed.

Everyone debated fiercely and advocated their own preferred candidates.

Princess Rosa immediately felt the difference between the Seris system and Reiner.

Roland once "spoiled" outside of "The Romance of Siris": Qin law will be followed for all generations, that is, the system of counties and counties will be implemented to the end.

Land feudalism actually ended after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was replaced by a unified central power.

Although there were some recurring rebellions by feudal lords, at least it was not like this, where succession to the throne required the support of lords from various places.

Just like the previous disputes, no one is convinced by any of the parties.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that Reiner's world is at a very important historical juncture, and if you don't pay attention, it will be doomed.

Several lords proposed to choose a strong person to lead everyone to avoid falling into war and destruction.

This powerful figure is naturally none other than Prince Ferrer.

Princess Rosa sat on one side and quietly observed her relatives, especially the widely supported Prince Ferrer.The other party is a middle-aged man in his 40s.

Unlike Arkham XIV, who failed to manage his figure and looked a bit bloated, he was sent to the western border, where he fought against ogres, giants, orcs and other foreign races all year round. He was known as a proficient archer and horseman, and highly skilled in martial arts.

Even his appearance and temperament are far superior to those of Arkham XIV.

Princess Rosa had to admit that if the other party could sit on the throne, it might be more in line with the expected image of a heroic and wise ruler.

"Everyone, please listen to me. No matter how much we discuss now, we still cannot do without Atrein's support. Why don't we ask Felie to tell us how to deal with the relationship with Atrein?"

At this time, a lord suggested.

Everyone looked at Fei Lie with different expressions.

Because they all remember that Felie was deposed because he publicly expressed his hatred for the Atrehine people.

Ferre said calmly: "It is true that I am not liked by the Atrein people, but at this moment, the Atrein people also need stability and do not want Reiner to fall into the flames of war and be taken advantage of by foreign enemies.

If everyone supports me, I will give priority to ensuring the supply of magic crystal mines, stabilizing the Atrein people, and then quickly pacifying all parties and suppressing the rebellion. "

He obviously also understood that he had the advantage and did his best to do so.

Finally, he showed his ambition for the throne without any secret.

"No, Ferret cannot be king."

Suddenly, another lord, an old man who also had royal blood, stood up.

"Have you forgotten that Lord Bolas's preference is Silaire, and the order of succession has been decided many years ago!"

"Indeed, the training of heirs has started a long time ago."

Silaire was sent to study abroad in Atrein, and later entered the elite class of the Mage Tower and became a student under the name of Lord Roland, all in preparation for inheriting the throne.

Increasing experience and cultivating talents step by step, and in the process, using relationships with classmates, teachers, colleagues, etc. as the key to win over the descendants of nobles and make friends with Master Atrein.

Succession to the throne is a matter of course.

Ferre's supporters were dismissive of this: "Silaire? He is the eagle of the kingdom, but he is not yet able to lead us!"

"That is, with the current Silaire, what can be accomplished?"

When Rosa heard this, her face turned pale.

His father died suddenly, and Siler's political capital had not yet been formed.

He has no army in hand, and his classmates who may take important positions in the kingdom in the future are still in the mage tower.

Fledgling indeed.

Ferrer even sneered: "Have your spines been broken by the Cowlens family who have been dominating us for so many years? It's because Bolas doesn't like me and wants to establish Silaire. , you should embrace me as your king.

Because after Siler takes office, he will only betray the national interests even more, and I will lead you to get rid of Atrein's rule and completely move toward independence! "

"what?"

"what do you mean?"

Everyone was shocked.

Even Siler himself subconsciously ignored the sentence "It will only betray the national interests more" and turned his attention to the back.

Fei Lie said: "You have too high a view of Atrein. In fact, if you analyze it carefully, you will understand that such an old empire has internal and external troubles, and is surrounded by powerful enemies.

If this were not the case, sovereignty would not be returned, Lena's world would not be opened, and no one would be able to kill Leon or even cause trouble in Tyree City. "

This……

It sounds like there is some truth to it.

But Ferrer's steps were a bit too big, and even his supporters were frightened. They were confused for a moment, and then retreated.

The opponents seized the opportunity in time and refuted fiercely: "Are you really stupid for being an Atrein? Or, if you plan to climb the high branches of Automedia, isn't that also a traitor?"

Another round of meaningless quarrel.

Silaire wanted to interrupt several times, but failed to find a chance. He finally managed to say a few words, but was pushed back by an elder who said, "Adults discuss business, children should stop interrupting."

Rosa watched her brother Silaire's performance with some disappointment. The years spent in the mage tower were indeed not wasted, but what he cultivated was the gentleness of a scholar.

Is this really a way to deal with the current complex situation?
"enough!"

This kind of quarrel seemed familiar, and Ferrer could no longer bear it.

He slapped the armrest beside him and stood up.

"If you don't support me, I will make myself king!"

Because Prince Ferret had always had a good reputation, he quickly gained the support of the nobles in the city during this chaotic time. The garrison of the royal capital also quickly bet on him, and quickly fell to him.

This was a dangerous situation of "change in the palace". In just over a day, the royal capital had already fallen into his hands.

If it weren't for the concerns about the Atrein people, no one would be able to stop him from directly ascending the throne and proclaiming himself king.

But now, the disgust for these domestic lords has overtaken the fear of the Atrein people, and this "Lion of the Kingdom" finally shows his roar and reveals his fangs.

He was determined to take that bold step and test Atrein's bottom line again.

At the critical moment, Princess Rosa finally said: "I don't agree."

"Why do you disagree?" Ferrer looked at her with a bit of amusement, "My dear niece, Princess Rosa, this is not the place you should be, and you have no right to speak."

Everyone shook their heads secretly.

Rosa has the reputation of "the most beautiful woman in the kingdom". Over the years, she has grown more beautiful and even more charming, but these are useless in this fight.

Rosa was sarcastic, but her face was expressionless, and she even remained motionless, just sitting there, looking up at this "Lion of the Kingdom" slightly.

She spoke unhurriedly, her voice clear and her mood calm.

"I am your niece Rosa, my father's daughter, the princess of the kingdom. I am also the director of the East Lena Mage Tower and Seris Academy Office, as well as the alternate member of the empire, the dean of the academy, and the acting tower owner Roland. A subordinate, the Secretary-General of the Secretariat.

I think I am still qualified to speak here.

Now, I support my brother Silaire, who is for it and who is against it? "

　In the middle of the month, I am shamelessly asking for some votes.Although the update is quite slow, it can be considered "stable", right?Ha ha
