According to the tradition among the nobility, as long as the eldest son does not make any mistakes, the title is basically inherited by the eldest son.
Simmons's patricide was not publicized.
Because this would greatly damage the dignity of the royal family.
Priss was unaware of Simmons's previous patricide.
Just when Simmons was ordered by the king to be confined to the palace, Simmons' confidant secretly passed the news to Priss through special means.
Pris Potter is not just a level 43 eighth-order archmage.
He is also the Grand Duke of Porter in the West!
From Priss's perspective, Tester was definitely taking advantage of his time at the border to work with Troy to figure out a way to deal with Simmons.
This was something he couldn't tolerate.
After all, the interests of the aristocracy are tied to Simmons.
If Tester ascends the throne, it will be a huge blow to the aristocracy.
Moreover, due to the previous clash between the two factions, naturally many nobles from the aristocratic faction angered Tester.
Once Tester comes to power, these nobles are likely to be targeted by Tester.
As a great noble of the aristocratic faction, Priss must do his best to prevent this from happening.
After learning that Simmons was under house arrest, Priss knew that Test would make a big move next.
Sure enough, when he rushed back, the king announced that Test would be the next king.
So Priss brought a group of aristocratic nobles from the royal city to ask Charles XI for an explanation.
Adventurer's Guild!
After learning the whole story from Xue Feibai who stayed in the royal city, An Nuo frowned and asked, "Priss came back from Warrengel, isn't there no level eight garrison there?"
Lu Zhishang sighed and said, "That guy said that there is basically no fighting on the border, so it won't be a big deal even if we leave.
Besides, Priss's watch was up.
Theoretically speaking, Troy should be on duty at Warrengel now!"
"So even if he left his post without permission, he still had a reasonable excuse!"
Anno touched his chin and recalled that before the invasion of the sea tribe, he invited Troy to explore Hidden Dragon City.
At that time, Troy told Anno that he was going to Warren Gill to switch defense.
However, a series of events happened afterwards, which resulted in Troy never having the time to go back.
"If he was just a level 43 wizard, Priss probably wouldn't be able to do this. But he is also a duke... I guess the king must be having a headache too!"
Even Lemons, the warrior who protects the country, is an invincible existence in the kingdom.
Without a noble title, one does not have much say in meetings among nobles.
Suddenly Anno remembered his title of baron.
“Lemmens possesses great power, and if the king were to confer a title on him, it would certainly arouse opposition from all the noble factions.
Even the nobles who support the Kingdom are likely to express their opposition.
Therefore, from the moment Lemens became a national warrior, it was basically impossible for him to become a noble.
When I first came down from the battlefield of Warrengel, I was only at level six, and I still had a lot of merit.
Just like this, I was promoted to a baron without territory, but I heard that someone was trying to stop it.
After that, the king handed over the territory of Xuelong City to me.
Because the previous nobleman Antoine committed a serious crime, the nobles had nothing to say.
By the time the nobles of the aristocratic faction reacted, I had already become a noble with title, territory, and power!
Unless I make a fatal mistake, the chances of my title being revoked are slim.
But thinking about it the other way around, maybe the king has learned from Lemmens' experience and wants to integrate me into the aristocratic class.
This way, if Tester becomes the next king, I won't be restricted in every way like Lemens was."
An Nuo felt that this was possible.
Because Priss next to Simmons is the perfect supporter of Simmons.
Title, strength, and connections, Priss has it all!
Troy has the status of a marquis, which also meets the above characteristics.
However, apart from strength, Troy is much inferior to Priss in other aspects.
But as to whether Charles XI really thought so, Annno was not sure.
The main problem now is to solve the problem of Priss.
This guy now brings a large number of nobles to demand an explanation from Charles XI.
However, Charles XI ordered that those who were present at the time must not spread the news that Simons sent foreigners to assassinate the king.
"It seems that Tester needs our help! Xue Feibai, you guys continue to prepare for the President-level Council. I'm going to the palace."
Annuo's eyes narrowed, and he rode his dragon out of the Adventurer's Guild and flew towards the inner city palace.
If it were any other profession, Anno might have avoided the dispute with Priss for a short period of time.
But Priss happened to be a wizard.
In comparison, the threat posed by the mage to Anno is not that high.
What's more, during the three days in Xuelong City, An Nuo's current strength has increased several times compared to before!
The adventurers who saw Anno leaving instantly became excited.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the battle for the crown prince has begun!
Priss rushed back from the border with his men.
The president of the Adventurer's Guild, Baron Anno, must be going to the palace to help Tester!
…
The royal palace meeting hall.
Charles XI sat on the throne with a tired look on his face.
Below are the nobles divided into two camps.
One side was led by Troy, and a dozen nobles from the kingdom looked at the nobles standing on the right with anger.
In front of the nobles of the aristocracy stood an old man with emerald green hair.
The wrinkles on his face showed that this nobleman was already quite old.
But the staff in his hand and the golden magic patterns on the wizard robe he wore proved his identity as an eighth-level wizard.
At this time, Priss stared at Troy and said in an aggressive tone: "Marquis Troy, on what grounds did you let the soldiers put His Royal Highness Simmons under house arrest? Do you still have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in your eyes? Do you still have the dignity of the royal family? Do you want to rebel?"
Let me first put a big hat on Troy.
Troy was also helpless.
The king knew very well whether he would rebel or not.
But now the Kings obviously intend to let their supporters of Test deal with the supporters of Simmons.
This is also a test for Tester.
Tester was standing next to Troy.
But he couldn't speak in this situation.
The people on the other side were just supporters speaking, and as the one being supported, he was lowering his status by opening his mouth - Simmons was still under house arrest and did not appear on the court.
"Duke Priss, you left the border fortress Volenger without permission and ignored the safety of the border. If the Undead Army takes the opportunity to attack, can you bear the responsibility?"
For Tester's sake, Troy cannot afford to lose sight of the situation at this moment.
"As the Duke of the kingdom, I will certainly not ignore the safety of the kingdom. Before I left, I specially invited the eighth-level wizard of the Magic Temple to take charge of Warrengel!"
Priss came back this time to cause trouble for Troy, so he naturally wouldn't leave any evidence behind.
At the same time, he also showed that he had connections in the Magic Hall.
The two sides immediately began a war of words.
Soon, the nobles behind the two began to accuse each other.
The entire meeting hall was as noisy as a vegetable market.
Lemmens, who was standing beside the throne, watched the dispute between the nobles with an expressionless face.
And the king was already snoring slightly on his throne.
Just as the argument was getting more intense, a soldier hurried in from outside.
The nobles stopped arguing instantly and all looked at the soldier.
The soldier knelt before the king and reported: "Your Majesty, Baron Anno is here!"
Hearing this, Tester and Troy both smiled.
Charles XI opened his eyes and said: "Let him in!"
