Chapter 211 Old Arthur's Strategy (later)
The ministers were afraid of old King Arthur, not only because of his terrifying majesty and iron-blooded tactics, but more importantly because of the group of high-level wizards standing behind him.
In the territories controlled by the Divine Court, there is a belief that kingship is granted by God.
On the Star-Moon Continent, where faith is not so strong, royal power is decided by high-level wizards.
The heir to the throne must not only be both virtuous and talented, but also must take the overall situation into consideration and have the ability to strategize!
Not only that,
The crown prince's talent was also taken into consideration by these high-level mages.
If there is a crown prince who is invincible, why would there be a need for external forces to stabilize the court?
Just by looking at a small part of the many rules for electing the crown prince, one can see that these high-level wizards are truly looking for a wise ruler for the Aklan Empire.
and,
Once the crown prince ascends the throne, the other royal children can enjoy the cultivation resources and protection provided by the royal family for a hundred years.
Descendants who are over a hundred years old and have done nothing can only fend for themselves.
The imperial royal family never keeps idle people!
This is not only a rule established by the first king, but also a means to consolidate the royal power and ensure that there will be no incompetent and foolish kings.
No one is allowed to change it!
King Arthur worked hard throughout his life, and it was only within the last thousand years that he decided to raise his children.
His eldest son, Xilt, is nearly a thousand years old. He is at the early ninth level and is the strongest among hundreds of crown princes.
But Arthur did not give him the throne because Celt had no intention of becoming king.
He devoted himself to the practice of magic and was a complete magic scholar. He was brave but not wise, and his political skills were only mediocre, with no outstanding qualities.
Therefore, Sirte only got the title of a great prince, and the succession to the throne was still undecided.
The title of prince and princess needs to be fought for by the crown prince himself so that he can get the allocation of resources that matches the title.
Otherwise, you will end up like other ordinary sisters, receiving the minimum training subsidy.
Siphar was his thirty-sixth son. He was born intelligent, proficient in military tactics, strategy, and state affairs, and had extraordinary talents.
But he did not have a high talent for magic, and his progress in cultivation was slow.
Sifal was over a hundred years old and was only a seventh-level wizard. Arthur had wanted to have him promoted to the eighth level and then entrust him with the throne.
but……
He is so disappointing!
He was obsessed with women and was unable to break through to the eighth level.
Maybe it's a gift from the goddess of war,
The Aklan Empire welcomed their last princess——
War Princess : Altria.
She was gifted and was spotted by the Fire Dance Mage (Isana) as soon as she was born, and everyone's attention naturally fell on her.
Live up to everyone's expectations,
This "War Princess" became a sixth-rank magician at the age of eighteen, and is expected to be promoted to the seventh rank before her coming-of-age ceremony at the age of twenty, breaking the historical record of a certain God's Chosen One on the Star-Moon Continent!
In addition to possessing an extremely strong magical talent that has been rare in the Aklan Empire for tens of thousands of years, Artoria's talents have gradually emerged in the following days.
Her strategy for governing a country is far superior to Xifaer's!
The strongest contender for the throne!
In Arthur's mind, his little daughter's achievements are definitely not inferior to those of the great wizard. If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely not stop at the twelfth level in the future. Even the first god of the human race on the Star-Moon Continent will be created by her!
The joy of having a son in his old age, coupled with his high hopes for Artoria, made him care for Artoria even more.
He was generous with magic crystals, magic potions, and all kinds of rare treasures. The space ring was given to him by the great wizard Huo Wu, and he was embarrassed to give him another one, which would easily offend the great wizard.
She has already given it as a gift, so if you give her another one, does that mean you think her gift is not good enough?
Thus, Altria's space ring was filled with treasures, scrolls, and magic tools, and a beautiful girl with money power was born.
Come back to God,
Arthur narrowed his eyes and leaned back against the throne, anger brewing in his heart.
He knew that Artoria would never do such a shameful thing, but how could he not be angry when his little daughter, whom he had high hopes for, was criticized?
The air was deathly still.
But old Arthur said coldly, "Minister Han, do you know the consequences of deceiving the king by using the royal family's misdeeds?"
Han Jinyou stood up from his seat, lowered his head tightly, and did not dare to look up at Arthur. He said, "I...know, but this is not something I made up.
But the night before yesterday, the Second Prince's men saw with their own eyes that Her Royal Highness the Princess returned to the Youmeng Hotel holding a man of unknown origin. Many people already knew about this!
If Your Majesty does not believe it, you can send someone to investigate."
Arthur closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His little daughter was usually so calm and composed. Even if this was true, she would not make such an obvious mistake.
But this old man is also a coward. If it is not true and there is no solid evidence, he will not say it in front of everyone.
Arthur's face was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. He asked, "How many people know about this?"
"There were many people active at night that night, so many people saw it."
Another elder of the Han family stood up and echoed Han Jinyou, saying:
"Fortunately, only a small number of people knew the identity of Her Royal Highness the Princess, so this matter did not spread widely in a short period of time.
Once the news of the Princess having an affair with a commoner spreads throughout the empire..."
"People's words are scary!"
"Please, my king, make a decision soon!
..."
"Shut up!"
He waved his hand, interrupting Han Jinyou's chatter, and frightened the ministers around him who were gossiping into silence.
Arthur sighed quietly in his heart.
My dear daughter...
You've given your father a difficult problem...
If you really like a man, can you bring him back secretly to me, your father, to screen him first?
Just a second-level mage,
This also...
It’s so cheap!
No, we must bring it back to the royal city and use resources to upgrade it to a higher level!
As long as he can be trained to be a young fifth or sixth level wizard, it won't be too embarrassing.
Wait until the public opinion has died down, and then find a random reason to transfer the man away.
Having made up his mind, old Arthur was confident.
"The parliament has ended early. I have my own thoughts on this matter. Please do not mention it again. If you do..."
Arthur's expression was serious, and he said firmly, "We must eliminate the heretics of the Temple of Dusk with all our strength. Anyone who knows about this but doesn't report it, or who harbors criminals, will die!"
Arthur slowly stood up with the help of the throne, and glanced around calmly. The fierce aura of a person who had been in a superior position for a long time made him look intimidating without even being angry.
"If I learn that anyone is spreading rumors or discussing the royal family in private, no matter their status, they will be severely punished!"
Several ministers of the Han family lowered their heads quickly, not daring to say anything more, and replied, "We will obey the king's orders."
The ministers of the other four major families glanced at Han Jinyou. They knew very well the conflict between Xifaer and Artoria.
However, only the Zhan family clearly supported the eldest prince, and the remaining three families had not yet expressed their stance, so these ministers did not speak for any side.
