After rebirth, one gold coin bought the Elf Princess

These days he has been strategizing all possible situations and developing response plans.

Who are the members of the enemy team and how much power do they have.

He had to give full consideration to how many powerful people Green could invite with his connections and financial resources.

In addition, he also had to consider the possibility that Green would take the risk and directly mobilize the army to launch a coup.

Fortunately, this possibility is small.

Green is in an advantageous position now, so there is no need to make a big fuss.

The most likely possibility is to resolve the problem in the Senate.

Just like solving Caesar's problem.

As for whether it is a verbal fight or a physical fight, most of the time it is both.

These things were already giving him a headache, but what made him even more uneasy was Aesop's prophecy.

After this guy accurately said that there were five constellations behind Roland, it was clear that his astrology really had some substance and was definitely not a trick of a charlatan.

Roland himself has died once and cannot die again, so he is ruled out first.

Lucy same thing.

Since he was specifically mentioned by Aesop in his prophecy, he must be no small figure.

Sophia, Melanice and Granny are all important characters, but they are very powerful. If they want to be resurrected, the World Tree of Resurrection must take action personally or the goddess must descend.

So that is also excluded.

The only important character who can be resurrected is Lily.

Her strength is only at the fourth level, and both Roland and Melanice have the ability to resurrect her through the power granted by the Resurrection World Tree.

The resurrection from the dead mentioned by Aesop is probably her.

However, judging from Aesop's expression, it seemed not to be her.

After much thought, Roland could only blame it on astrology.

Although astrology is good, it is still inferior to horoscopes. The predictions it makes are accurate but vague.

Can vague accuracy be considered accurate?

Since he couldn't think of a solution, Roland had no choice but to be optimistic and adapt to the situation.

The next day.

Just as Roland was seriously deducing the various changes, Lucy rushed in quickly, shouting in a frustrated voice:

"Roland, something happened!"

"Roland is fine, nothing happened. Sit down and talk slowly. What happened?"

Roland poured a cup of tea himself and placed it in front of Lucy, with a gentle look and a kind smile.

However, his calmness was not conveyed to Lucy at all, and her eyes were still anxious.

"Roland, since this morning, there has been a rumor in the capital that my sister has been bewitched by you. Not only does she want to marry you, she also plans to use the Kingdom of Oro as a dowry."

"Nonsense, pure slander, legal..."

Roland almost blurted out the lawyer's letter, but fortunately he reacted in time. In this era, there was no mature trial system, so the lawyer profession naturally did not exist. In this era, there were only litigation sticks.

"I know that you and your sister are best friends, but you are just friends."

"It's great that you understand." Roland said with a smile.

Lucy is indeed sensible. Unlike some women, she believes everything she hears without being able to tell the truth from falsehood.

She has indeed grown up.

However, Lucy's next words froze his smile.

"I'm still a virgin, how could I have an affair with you?"

Roland almost spit out a mouthful of old tea on the table.

Looking at Lucy's innocent big eyes, he decided to skip the topic.

"We are getting off topic. Stop it! What we need to do now is to dispel this rumor. Lucy, do you have any ideas?"

"Hey, I was the one asking you, why are you asking me?"

Lucy grumbled under her breath but still gave her own solution.

"Of course we should dispel the rumors. We should post a notice in the square and explain it to everyone."

"What's the explanation? The great Queen of Auro and King Gracia didn't have an affair?"

Lucy was speechless for a moment.

Yes, how to dispel the rumor?

To directly say that my sister and Roland have no relationship beyond friendship is simply making things worse.

Although she is young, she still understands the difference in difficulty between refuting a rumor and spreading one.

She had no choice but to throw the question back to Roland with a bitter face.

"You are my sister's military advisor and the chief guest official. I still have to rely on you for advice."

"This rumor cannot be dispelled. This is a delicate mentality. People are always interested in gossip between men and women. If the object of the gossip is the king, they will care even more."

Roland said in a deep voice: "If everyone has this mentality, refuting rumors will become a way for them to have fun."

"So we have to find another way, change our angle, and not go to the enemy's preset position."

Lucy nodded as if she understood, and complained softly: "Roland, can you explain it in words I can understand?"

"It's simple. Any popularity can only last for a week. After a week, it will be squeezed out by new hot spots."

Lucy sighed with disappointment: "The biggest hot topic recently is the death of my father, but..."

"Spread the word that Green killed the previous king and attempted to seize the throne."

You like spreading rumors, right?

I made it too, let’s see who is afraid of who.

Roland thought silently.

Volume 210: The City of Freedom: Chapter : If there is nothing to talk about, then take action!

The funeral of the 1,125th King of the Oro Kingdom was held on a cold, rainy day, as if crying for his passing.

In the early days of the Kingdom of Oro's long history, there was no term limit for the king, and he could serve for hundreds of years as long as he wished.

However, it is difficult for people to remain clear-minded as time goes by.

Even the wisest king will gradually lose himself amidst the constant shouts of "Long live the king" and "Wise" from his ministers and people, and come to think that whatever he does is right.

In particular, some kings still like to make decisions on their own and are unwilling to delegate power to professionals.

Absolute concentration of power has both advantages and disadvantages, but it also carries great hidden dangers.

Once a foolish or tyrannical ruler appears, the entire country may be dragged into the ditch.

In fact, the Kingdom of Oro was indeed led into trouble more than once, and was even destroyed twice in history.

If the Oro family had not produced two generations of heroic rulers who restored the country twice as if it was destined, this ancient country would have disappeared long ago.

After the second restoration, the Oro family learned from their mistakes and decided to reform.

They changed the law of succession to the throne so that royal power was no longer eternal, allowing the country to remain vibrant.

Although the old king did not have any particularly remarkable achievements during his reign, he did not cause too much trouble to the people, and the lives of ordinary people were quite good.

When he passed away, the common people were naturally sad.

But this is not the only piece of news that has made them sad these days.

The first rumor to break out was that the new Queen Lily was having an affair with King Roland of Gracia.

Although the Oro people are closed and xenophobic, there have been many cases of royal princesses marrying foreign royal families throughout their long history.

Roland was a rising star who had recently gained fame. If Lily was just a princess, they would totally accept this marriage.

But not the Queen.

What does it mean when the head of state marries the king of another country?

Is their child considered the prince of Oro or the prince of Gracia?

Unification is an option that the Oro people absolutely cannot accept.

Oro must be independent.

The people were concerned, but they were not too worried.

With the Senate around, nothing can change the world. Lily must make a choice before ascending the throne: either give up love and become king, or give up the crown and pursue love.

But the second rumor that came out soon after was a bit terrifying.

Although there is absolutely no source for it, the mere possibility of its existence is enough to subvert everything.

There are rumors that the old king did not die of old age, but was killed by his own son.

It is said that His Highness Green had a relationship with the old king's maid and committed the murder after the affair was exposed.

In addition to this, there are several versions of the rumor, but they all point to the same person, Green.

Although the Senate dealt with the matter urgently, rumors spread much faster than they were refuted, and they still spread.

In this tense atmosphere, the old king's funeral proceeded as scheduled.

The funeral was presided over by the Senate, not Lily, who claimed to be the new king, nor Green, who temporarily took over the king's power.

This made the people of the royal capital feel even more uneasy.

According to convention, only the new king is qualified to preside over the funeral of the old king.

There is only one possibility for the Senate to preside over the funeral, and the succession to the throne has not yet been determined.

After attending the funeral, many nobles and commoners with a keen sense of smell quietly left the capital and went to the countryside to avoid disaster.

They smelled danger in the air.

How to survive safely in a whirlpool?

Stay away from the vortex, of course.

......

Green House.

In the small meeting room, Green angrily threw the teacup to the ground and roared at the man in black in front of him:

"You said you would do it cleanly, why is this happening?"

"Tell me, how could such a perfect plan be known to others?"

The man in black who was angrily rebuked by Green trembled and stammered: "I, I swear, everyone on my side who knows the truth will be silenced, and I will never leak it!"

"Your Highness, I am loyal to you, please understand."

After listening to the explanation of the man in black, Green's furious mood gradually calmed down.

He let out a long sigh and waved his hand to signal the man in black to come forward.

"I have something else I need you to do."

The man in black approached cautiously, and Green leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"Not all the insiders were killed. You are lying."

As soon as he finished speaking, Green's dagger pierced the man in black's chest as he was stunned.

The man in black looked down blankly, seeing the hideous wound on his chest, a miserable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Yes, he is also an insider.

He is not dead, how can he be considered to have been silenced?

He wanted to curse, but he couldn't say it out loud because he still had a family and a clan.
