The formation was fully constructed, and red light flickered.
The eldest prince's expression flickered uncertainly.
Someone nearby had already taken blood from the old king and placed it inside the formation.
All eyes turned to the eldest prince.
Go!
The Rose King spoke calmly: "No matter what, you belong to the royal family!"
His words conveyed some information to the eldest prince.
Even if you are not of the old king's blood, you are still a member of the royal family, and you can fight for the right of succession.
His words calmed the eldest prince down a little. He gritted his teeth, stared fiercely at the black dragon, and walked to the formation before cutting his finger.
Fresh blood dripped into the formation.
From the outside, it was clear that two drops of blood were swirling within the formation.
Soon, the two drops of blood merged into one.
The two kings breathed a sigh of relief. The third prince stared blankly, the eldest prince looked bewildered, and the rose king's eyes widened.
It turns out that the eldest prince was indeed the old king's descendant!
"impossible!"
The Rose King stepped forward, somewhat losing his composure.
"Is there a problem with the formation?"
He checked it carefully several times, and there were no mistakes or omissions in the formation.
The problem is, how can his own son be compatible with the old king's blood?
Could it be that...?
A suspicion arose in his mind: Had he been tricked by this old devil?
"The matter of succession is of great importance and needs further consideration."
After a long pause, the Rose King slowly uttered these words.
The scene became quiet for a moment.
The third prince, who had been acting erratically, suddenly brightened up.
“Father, I am your son, you should support me.”
His shouting made Rose King feel a bit of a headache. Could this guy really be his son?
That damned old devil is so insidious.
The Rose King gritted his teeth, while the other two kings frowned repeatedly.
"The old king has passed away, and a new king must be decided as soon as possible, otherwise it will destabilize the empire."
Currently, the more than twenty adult sons of the old king are eligible to inherit the throne.
A large portion of them lack the necessary skills and are unable to gain the respect of the public.
The eldest prince and the third prince are two of the better ones, and the heir should have been chosen from among them.
But now it seems like both of these guys are in some kind of trouble.
The decision on the successor is somewhat difficult.
Su Qing stroked her chin and said, "I think the issue of who will succeed to the country should definitely be decided by the most capable person."
"So I think we should hold a selection among all of the old king's children and choose the most outstanding person to be the king."
His suggestion resonated with both kings.
It would be a good idea for them to hold a selection process to find the most suitable person to be king.
But the Rose King looked at him coldly: "Lord Black Dragon, this is a matter of the Rose Empire's royal family. Please do not interfere."
Su Qing smiled and said, "Don't be so formal. I am, after all, the son-in-law of the Rose Empire. How can I be considered an outsider?"
How are candidates selected?
One of the two kings asked out of curiosity.
Su Qing smiled and said, "First, we'll choose the princes and princesses who want to be king."
Those who don't want to be king, or who don't have the courage to step forward, no matter how capable they are, probably won't be good kings.
There were dozens of princes and princesses present, most of whom were aware of their own limitations.
When the question was asked further, only five or six people came out.
The eldest prince, the third prince, the sixth prince, the tenth prince, Princess Mana, and Little Rose.
Su Qing nodded slightly: "What we need to do next is to find the one most suitable to be the king from among these six people."
"As for the specific choice, it depends on what you think the king should do and what abilities he should possess."
After Su Qing finished speaking, she winked at Xiao Qiangwei.
I've done my best to give you a chance to compete with them on the same stage, so you should at least try your best too.
After Su Qing finished speaking, she appeared unwilling to get involved further and quietly stepped back.
After his guidance, the two kings had some ideas in mind.
You don't need that much power to become king.
What is needed is wisdom and the means to govern the country.
They need to choose between these two aspects.
As for the fact that two of the six people were women, the two kings didn't seem to care too much.
There is no precedent in this country for a woman to be queen.
Su Qing had no intention of getting involved, nor could she get involved herself; she would only rely on the woman's own abilities.
If this woman can inherit the throne, he will save a lot of effort.
If this woman can't do it, then he'll think of another way.
With his strength greatly increased, Su Qing is now quite confident.
If all else fails, I'll just kill all the kings of the Rose Empire. Then, whoever I want to be king will be king.
However, if we do that, the Temple of War and the Church of Light will probably have objections.
As Su Qing was pondering, she suddenly heard a loud bell ringing throughout the entire imperial palace.
The three kings' expressions changed simultaneously, and they vanished from the palace at the same time.
Su Qing quickly followed.
Four figures appeared in the sky above the royal palace.
"A king has fallen!"
Someone took a deep breath: "When we were at war with the orcs, the bells would ring whenever a king fell."
