Dominate the Treacherous Realm
Chapter 826
The words are here, there is already a smell of gunpowder. For their own safety, the listeners in the back row got up and prepared to leave. If you are not careful, you may lose your life. However, the side door and the front door of the lecture hall were closed tacitly from the outside at this time, and even the sound of the lock was exaggerated.
Sigrid and Alexia came back at the last moment, and the two chose to sit with Hathaway and Britney. There was also Miss Windsor next to them, and her action time came when Jenkins and "Miss Fabry" staged the wonderful performance, so while the room was dark, she slipped upstairs and returned to Jessica's side.
After Jessica used the special sugar that Jenkins provided to restore the soul, Miss Windsor reappeared and came back in the dark. At that time, people's attention was on Miss Fabry, so no one noticed this.
From the actual situation, unless an unknown illegitimate child emerges again, there is indeed no one in Fedictelli who is more qualified to inherit than Jenkins.
The sudden change in topic was unexpected, but the speech suddenly turned into this, but it made people worry about it. There were not a few people who found the gate locked, but no one dared to ask what was going on.
Even if no one showed a weapon, the current atmosphere of rattling swords still makes those who have nothing to do with the matter very panic.
As for the people involved in this matter, the next dialogue will determine the future of them and their family in the next few decades.
Chapter 1982 Chapter 1953
Although the throne has been lost from the Middleton family for half a century, Queen Isabella has been consciously proclaiming that she has taken the throne from the ancestors in order to claim the legitimacy of her rule, and will also be in the future. Return this power to Middleton.
Therefore, before the Williams family appeared, even the whole country was unwilling to let the foreigner of Chesland, that is, the guy with the highest succession rank, to be king, but in addition to his foreign status, people actually treated him The other things are not exclusive.
The position of the Middleton family in Fidictle is unshakable. With a clear descendant, even if Jessica promises Queen Isabella to inherit the throne, she may not be able to grab Jenkins.
Jenkins was still standing on the podium looking at Queen Isabella, who finally spoke after a moment of silence:
"I did say that after the Three Kings talks, the heir should be selected."
"In that case, it's better to decide now. Viscount Williams is right. This is indeed a good opportunity."
Someone said loudly that this was a Viscount from Nolan who chose to loyal to Jenkins, and he played the role of saying this.
Old Duke Douglas Gerald turned to look at the talking guy, Queen Isabella's face as usual:
"It looks like you can't wait?"
"No, I just think this occasion is just right. I think this opportunity is really rare, since everyone is here..."
"Yes, this is great."
Someone was echoing what Jenkins said. It was a bloated man holding a black hat. This is Sir O'Donnell, the economic secretary of the Kingdom's Ministry of Finance, and the chief of the finance department who followed Queen Isabella from Berdylan to Nolan this time.
The young Duke of Rochester seemed to want to say something, but Queen Isabella raised her hand to make everyone quiet:
"Jessica."
she shouted, and Miss Windsor walked out from the back row:
"I'm here."
"Do you think it is a good time to announce the heir?"
"Yes it is."
She answered very simply.
"So Madeleine, what do you think?"
She asked about the Duke of Madeleine, the oldest female duke in the kingdom. She has not participated in any government affairs for a long time. Although some of her descendants are in parliament, they are all small people, but the family's business is doing quite well.
The relationship between the Duke of Madeleine and Queen Isabella is very good. The two were friends when they were young. After the death of the king, the Duke of Madeleine, who had not inherited the family title at the time, gave it to the young widow Isabella. Pull a lot of support.
"I think? This..."
She looked up at Jenkins.
Although he has a good relationship with Queen Isabella, in fact, the Duke of Madeleine is a very firm loyalist to the Middleton family. Moreover, she is a very devout sage believer, otherwise she would not have known Bishop Parrod when she was young.
"Probably this time is not bad."
She replied, Queen Isabella was not surprised. Nodding, Her Majesty the Queen of Fedictelli stood up, then turned and looked up, looking at the rows of guests behind him:
"So good."
"Ok?"
Jenkins was puzzled right now, he and Jessica had prepared for so long to make sure they were foolproof, and now they don’t even count the beginning. Next, there should be a brief chaos in the lecture hall. The people around Queen Isabella began to accuse Jenkins, and then the people on Jenkins retorted.
After such a "debate" lasts a few minutes, Jenkins will force both sides to shut up, and then ask Queen Isabella again.
At this time, it was time for the Marquis of Mikhail to appear, revealing the movement of the navy ships in his words, which brought the dispute into a white-hot stage in the true sense. Then Jenkins would "hypocritically" tell the Marquis Mihail not to say this, and at the same time Mr. Mayor also began to attack, the police force received the order will surround the city hall, rather than simply blockade it as it is currently.
The army near Nolan had already been bought by Jessica. Although most of the Royal Army is held firmly in the palm of Queen Isabella, Nolan's particularity ensures that at least Nolan's garrison is inclined to Jenkins.
At this stage, I can see you with a dagger. Salhi II will act as a mediator and persuade Jenkins with the tone of "I am only a non-interested party", which is actually a sidetrack...
In short, Jenkins's complicated plan is not even an official start, but the other party actually compromised.
looked at Miss Windsor suspiciously, Miss Windsor showed a dazed expression.
"What do you mean?"
Jenkins's voice appeared in her mind, but Miss Windsor's body had just become a benefactor and was unable to answer his questions from such a distance.
"Jenkins is right."
Queen Isabella said, all eyes were on her face, and people expected her to say the next word. The following words will determine what will be the content of today's evening news and the temporarily added extra.
"Indeed, it's time to announce the successor."
Jenkins opened his eyes and looked around, suspicious that someone who had never heard of it would come in. But there were only the police outside, and the surrounding neighborhoods could not even find the aura of a gifter he didn't know because of the martial law.
"I have been in charge of this country for more than 50 years since the death of the former king. In the past half a century, I have been advancing with Fidic Terry, and sometimes I even feel that I am married to this country."
When listening to Jenkins’s speech, she was always drowsy, but at this time she became energetic. Her eyes and every contact that was willing to meet her, the momentary momentum reminded people that she is still the most surviving. Experienced kings can even be said to be the most successful kings.
"Maybe it's time now, then let me announce my successor."
Her voice rose loudly, although she could hear the kind of decadence peculiar to the elderly, it still made everyone subconsciously concentrate:
"Jenkins Radumput Williams, my successor."
Jenkins was overjoyed in his heart, but the great joy was fleeting, and he immediately discovered the problem. His purpose today seems to be...
"According to the Kingdom’s Succession Act, after I die, he will be ranked third in the order of succession (the first and second are father Robert and eldest brother Newman. Although both of them have no intention of the throne, they have not officially claimed the throne. Give up the right to inheritance) and become the next king of Fedictelli, that is, the 19th king."
Today, relying on his step-by-step layout, he is almost certain that Queen Isabella can be pushed to an end. Even if the other party does not compromise, he still has a way to make the other party compromise. His goal is to become a king immediately, not to become a king when the opponent dies at some point.
This step is really wonderful. To retreat and declare that Jenkins is the successor, he has no reason to attack again, and before Queen Isabella's death, she can do a lot of things, so this announcement is actually meaningless. Big.
But if on the present occasion, Jenkins continues to insist on using immoral means to force the current king to abdicate, then Jenkins, who should have been a positive figure, will immediately reach the lowest end of the chain of contempt. He will encounter great resistance at home and abroad, thinking The plan to unite the three kingdoms will therefore encounter unprecedented difficulties.
This step is to retreat as progress, which is really exceptionally clever. Obviously facing a situation that is almost inevitable, but just taking a step back makes Jenkins fall into a situation where he cannot advance or retreat.
But there is no other way, such as finding a chance to kill Queen Isabella. Although this is very suspicious, some people with IQ will doubt Jenkins, but as long as the scapegoat is arranged and excuses are made, he can indeed succeed legally.
Or directly use the power of [lie] to forcefully change Queen Isabella's thoughts and let her abdicate and surrender the crown. Although the power of the priesthood cannot last forever, as long as the opponent is kept in confinement and not contacting outsiders, other people will not know about doing so.
But Jenkins is not...
"No, I never thought that I was a good person in the standard sense. The situation has developed to the present, and the difference engine may complete the final defiant ritual to fight with me at any time. This is a major event related to the future of the entire world. Is it this time? , Am I still wasting time just because of the so-called morality? Am I such a person?"
Jenkins is certainly not such a person. If someone asks him the question of "a person to die or a group of people", he will definitely choose "a person to die" without hesitation. What he can do is to do the best he can, and for other things, he will never feel that he has done something wrong.
"The priesthood of lies..."
He stood on the podium behind Queen Isabella and looked at the other party's back, knowing that now suddenly letting the other party change his words in full view, it would seem a bit unnatural. So using the power of the priesthood, it cannot be here, but it can be for a while.
"Jenkins, say something."
There was silence in the lecture hall, and the announcement of Queen Isabella caused everyone to fall into dead silence. Few people can figure out what happened. Just now, she was clearly on the verge of doing it, but Queen Isabella suddenly compromised.
She turned to Jenkins and said, Jenkins also temporarily jumped out of her thoughts and touched the cat on her shoulders. He was happy because of the decision and smiled on the corners of her mouth. This is quite in line with the luck of the succession to the throne. Children’s performance:
"Your Majesty, I am honored to be your heir. Then in the coming days, I will also actively participate in government affairs. Yes, take it..."
He won't wait any longer.
Chapter 1983 Chapter 1954
Jenkins thanked him as the “prince” who was granted the right of inheritance, and Queen Isabella also responded.
In the dead silence in the lecture hall, the two sides had a moderate conversation, but everyone could hear that although the expectation was normal, the atmosphere of the conversation was absolutely abnormal.
In the scary silence after the conversation, Jenkins motioned to Mr. Mayor to let people outside open the door. But everyone was sitting on the chair, and no one dared to get up first.
Queen Isabé stretched out her hand and walked to the door first with the help of the servant on the side. So a group of people behind her also got up and followed. The Duke of Rochester glared at Jenkins and was very dissatisfied with him. Duke Douglas Jerrold nodded at Jenkins with a complicated expression, paused and seemed to want to say something. What, but in the end he just blinked three vigorously at him, and then he kept up with the person in front of him.
Jenkins stood on the podium without moving, watching a group of people walk out from the door. Only then did loud noises and whispers gradually sounded. At first it was just a mosquito buzzing sound, but then it turned into a lively bargaining in the vegetable market.
People left their seats, and at least half of them squeezed forward to congratulate the future king.
Just half an hour ago, the king of Hampavo also made it clear that his heir would sign a marriage contract with Jenkins. In this way, he might not only be the future king of Fidcicles.
Since the ancient Xikali Empire fell apart thousands of years ago, the human world has once again ushered in the opportunity of reunification. It is difficult to say which of Miss Brie’s matter is more important than this matter.
Jenkins ate lunch at a high-end restaurant very close to the city hall. Jessica took the whole restaurant directly for celebration. After everyone was on the table, the restaurant owner who had just heard the explosive news from the city hall rushed over again and said that the lunch was completely free.
Jenkins rejected his kindness, but still accepted the expensive red wine provided by the middle-aged restaurant owner.
The dining place is the banquet hall on the second floor. All the furniture has been removed, leaving only the long dining table in the center. Jenkins did not choose to sit at one end of the dining table, and the girls in the family were seated on both sides. Instead, he sat in the center of one side, and the others distributed toward both sides with him as the center.
Jessica, Miss J, and Miss Windsor are all on the left hand side of Jenkins, while Sigrid appears here because he wants to explain the [human body puzzle] to Jenkins.
He shook the glass goblet and watched the blood-red liquid circulate on the wall of the glass, but there was no adhesion.
"A lot of people are looking for you now. You don’t report to the church, you don’t meet with Mr. Mayor, you don’t talk to my father, you don’t talk to reporters, you don’t give public speeches, you are here now. Why do you invite us to dinner?"
Brian asked curiously, and then added:
"And you don't drink, what do you do with a wine glass?"
Jenkins put down the goblet in his hand and patted away the cat who was trying to stretch his head. After confirming that chocolate will not drink, he said:
"I just made an important decision, so I wanted to have a good meal before acting. Today I thought I could be the king directly..."
"Do you want to take the throne directly?"
Brian asked again, she didn’t know about the savior, so she didn’t know why Jenkins did it.
"Yes, but it’s okay, it’s just a small accident. I expected that there might be a problem, but I didn’t expect it to be such a problem. It’s okay, everything is still under control."
There is the silver metal block on his left hand. The chocolate has "walked" over the wine glass, but before touching the metal block, Hathaway on Jenkins's left hand has picked it up:
"This is what you said..."
"Yes it is."
Hathaway showed an expression of surprise on her face. She didn't worry about whether Jenkins could win the throne. In her mind, God is omnipotent. This kind of thinking is actually true, at least in dealing with mortal matters, Jenkins is indeed omnipotent.
Hathaway played with the silver metal block, and the chocolate that had lost its goal had to lie down beside Jenkins glumly. Jenkins touched it subconsciously, and then prepared to share some food for his cat.
"Sigrid, is the human body puzzle thing going well?"
"Soon, thanks to Alexia's help."
The short lady smiled at her. She was talking with Dolores just now in a whisper about the revelation of the marriage contract of Sarhi II. The princess appeared to be a little angry and claimed to be dissatisfied with her father's sudden announcement, but everyone could tell that she was actually quite happy.
"Before we left, it was confirmed that the human body puzzle was defeated. At that time, the Mechanical Church was carrying out containment work. This is your cane."
She asked Jessica to pass the cane to Jenkins:
"Thanks to your preparation, but how do you explain the origin of the arrow and the blessing?"
"I can't expose Mr. Siam Nord and the Music Church, but I have other excuses. This is not a problem. You just said that a blood-sucking demigod appeared?"
"Yes, there are obvious signs of mechanical modification, and the other party claims to be a member of the tree house."
Alexia said instead of Sigrid.
"Do you know that the opponent is a demigod who is promoted normally by himself, but only relies on mechanical power to increase his strength; or is it not a demigod originally, but is promoted to a demigod by mechanical transformation?"
These two differences represent a different cooperative relationship between the Artisan Society and the Tree House, which is very important.
"Although we did not fight, I am pretty sure that he was originally a demigod."
Alexia said.
Jenkins nodded, so the cooperation between the tree house and the artisan society should be quite close, but it is definitely not the kind of complete fusion state where you have me and I have you.
"What are you going to do to Queen Isabella next?"
Miss J asked Jenkins again, she could tell that Jenkins would never stop like this.
