early morning.

Levinder Platinum Palace.

The golden sunlight shines into the classically decorated parliament hall.

An old man with silver hair and a silver robe, looking energetic, stood on the podium in the center.

He shouted: "The evil that happened in the Platinum Palace tells us that no one, including the king, should have excessive power!"

"In a kingdom, the king has the most honorable status, and this is as it should be!"

"But as nobles who assist the king in governing the kingdom, you should never allow yourself to be driven around by the king like cattle and horses."

"If the power of the kingdom can be dispersed into multiple centers, then even if one person makes a mistake or even falls, others can easily correct his mistake, just like we did in this exorcism!"

"Therefore, I suggest that only the king's supreme veto power be retained, but the specific executive power should be divided one by one and handed over to the nobles present here for safekeeping."

"Any major event that the king wants to initiate regarding the fate of the kingdom should be fully discussed by the Council of Nobles."

"If Parliament doesn't pass it, then no one, including the king, can make it happen!"

On the high platform, the old man spoke passionately.

He clenched his fists and waved them in front of him, as if he had grasped the truth of the world.

His words were unanimously agreed upon by the 168 noble members in the hall, and from time to time the younger generation of assistant members cheered loudly for him.

At the head of the Council of Nobles, on the platinum throne that belonged to the King, the platinum Queen Molly Sheila sat upright in a gorgeous dress, wearing a platinum crown and holding a platinum scepter.

She listened expressionlessly as she looked at the silver-robed congressman on the podium. There was neither anger nor fear on her beautiful white face, as if everything happening before her had nothing to do with her.

To others, she seemed to be frightened by the nobles.

But no one spoke to comfort her, and no one was even willing to take a second look at her, as if she was just a pretty doll placed on the throne for decorative purposes.

As a master of magic, no, it should be said that Molly, who is already a five-ring sage, does not need comfort.

She watched the nobles' smug and reserved performance, her empty left hand gently placed on her belly, carefully feeling the slightest rhythm in her abdomen.

A life has begun to be conceived, and this life belongs to God!

Maybe someone has given this god many nicknames, such as the legendary wizard, the eleven-ring strong man, and so on, but in her eyes, her husband is God!

Now, she has become one of God's wives, so in her eyes, this group of nobles jumping around like grasshoppers are nothing but a passing cloud.

Soon, these people will follow in the footsteps of the nobles of Weilan and Aaron.

It was unknown how much time had passed. When Molly felt her back, which had been straight all the time, begin to ache, the five marquises of the kingdom came towards her together and bowed to her.

His posture was standard and his expression was respectful, and there was no fault to be found in his etiquette.

It's just that his eyes look a little unscrupulous.

After the ceremony, Marquis Nobundo, whose reputation among the nobles was as dazzling as the midday sun, walked forward a few steps and held up a beautifully bound contract.

"Your Majesty, this is our newly agreed kingdom charter, please take a look."

The attendant stepped forward and held the charter in front of Molly.

Molly glanced at it casually and nodded, "No big problem."

She raised the king's platinum scepter, and the top of the scepter showed five rings of condensed magic power, but she was reluctant to put the seal on it.

When the condensed five-ring magic power appeared, all the marquises were slightly surprised and could not help but look at each other.

In today's world, four-ring mages are everywhere and are not rare. In the past, four-ring mages were often given the title of master, but gradually no one mentioned it anymore.

If there are tens of thousands of fourth-ring wizards in a kingdom, and if they are masters, then they are too worthless.

But the Five Rings Mage is still very valuable.

Although a few more appeared after Duke Weilan announced the latest training techniques, the total number did not exceed 50.

There are nearly 600 million people in the entire Natural Alliance, and the number of Five-Ring Mages does not exceed 50. Naturally, they are still respected sages of magic.

Therefore, when the marquises felt that the queen possessed five rings of magic power, a trace of solemnity flashed in their eyes.

Of course, it's just a little bit.

Even the Five Rings Sage cannot withstand the musket.

All I can say is that I must be more respectful and patient towards the Queen in the future. After all, she is a genuine descendant of a natural god. If she has outstanding talent in magic, she will be more valued by the Mother of Nature.

At this time, Queen Molly spoke up: "I can stamp this charter, but I want to add one more clause."

Marquis Nobundo immediately said: "Your Majesty, please speak."

"Compared to the heavy government affairs, I prefer to pursue the mysteries of magic, so I need a regent minister."

"But the nobles are already in charge of enough things, and the common people should be given some space, so the regent must be a commoner."

"Or to put it another way, my cabinet must have a chief minister, whom I call the prime minister of the kingdom."

“You may not agree, but if you do not agree, then the Sheila family’s platinum contract will never be stamped on this charter!”

After saying this, Molly put away her scepter and leaned back on the throne, showing a determined attitude.

There was no choice but to return the charter to Marquis Nobundo again.

Marquis Nobundo saluted again: "Your Majesty, we need to discuss this."

"Please go ahead. I have plenty of patience. But I heard that Duke Weilan has cooperated with the royal family of Cao to build a large flour mill. The estimated daily output can reach 5,000 tons!"

"This is a big deal, and Duke Weilan only recognizes my authority. If I don't give you the nod, none of you can cooperate with him!"

No one doubted the words of the Five Rings Mage. Since she said so, she would definitely do it.

And her words did indeed greatly affect the interests of various nobles.

New flour mills must be introduced, and the latest conversion arrays and flour conversion technologies must be introduced, otherwise we will fall behind other kingdoms, especially behind Kaa.

Levender usually looked down on khals and thought that khals were too dissolute, so when the queen mother was dissolute, he gained a very bad reputation among the people.

Now it would be very unacceptable to allow the wandering Kao people to surpass their own country.

So the marquises returned to the parliamentary table with the charter in their hands and began to discuss in low voices.

"Isn't it disgusting to have a peasant prime minister in the cabinet?"

"Obviously, Her Majesty is mad at us. She is just trying to disgust us in various ways."

"What can I do? I can only agree."

The one who spoke was Marquis Nobundo.

He looked around at everyone and spread his hands helplessly.

"It's clear that the Queen's backer is Duke Weilan. I bet she has sharpened her gun for the Duke."

Another marquis grinned disdainfully: "I think it's more than that. Maybe she will even have to give birth to children for the Duke."

Marquis Nobundo said: "So, she is the Duke's mistress."

"The Duke will certainly use her to influence the political situation in our Levender. The idea of ​​this civilian prime minister must have come from Duke Weilan."

The frustrated Marquis Larmo looked at his old rival who had been trampled under his feet, and said calmly: "If we agree, then the Duke will have one hand in our Levender Cabinet. How will we do things in the future?"

Nobundo immediately said: "Veylan is very far away from me, and she is just a prime minister with no background. What kind of waves can she stir up in the cabinet?"

Marquis Larmo sneered, "No background? Isn't the Duke his background?"

This is true, and the remaining three marquises also felt very troubled.

Someone said, "I say, why don't you just ignore your majesty?"

Someone immediately objected: "That won't do. Your Majesty is a properly crowned god after all, and the emotions of the common people also need to be taken care of."

"I personally even think that appointing a civilian prime minister would help appease the increasingly restless peasants in the country."

This makes a lot of sense.

Although the nobles of Levender still control the kingdom's vast resources, the power of the common people is undeniably growing and has reached a point that cannot be ignored.

Someone else said, "We also need to rely on the power of Duke Weilan. It is impossible to truly get rid of the Duke's influence."

"Even if we reject His Majesty this time, Duke Weilan will definitely think of reaching out in other directions. Since he will always reach out, it is better to let this hand be in the open."

That's true.

Marquis Nobundo was very smart and he came up with an idea: "We can agree to this, but the requirement is that this civilian must be a Levender who grew up in Levender."

"This civilian has family and friends in the country, and it would be best if he also has his own business. When he becomes prime minister, we will give him some benefits and develop him into one of our own."

"In this case, no matter how long the Duke's arms are, it will be useless."

In Marquis Nubton's heart, he actually favors Duke Veran, because his family has a lot of cooperation with Duke Veran, and his family can reach this point today with the support of Duke Veran.

His idea was indeed very good. The marquises looked at each other and finally nodded in agreement.

After this clause was added to the charter, it was once again handed over to the Queen.

The queen looked at it and nodded with satisfaction: "That's it."

But then he added: "The prime minister's term is five years, and the maximum number of consecutive terms is three times. And each term must be appointed by me personally. You can nominate, but the final decision is mine."

"Do you agree?"

This is a small matter, and it is a power that the king should have, at least in form.

The marquises looked at each other, and none of them wanted to cause any more trouble, so they nodded and allowed it to pass.

"I already have a candidate for the first prime minister."

After saying that, Queen Molly clapped her hands and said, "Come out, my cabinet prime minister."

The back door of the parliament opened, and a middle-aged man in dark red attire strode in. He knelt before the platinum throne and addressed the queen as "the sacred and honorable platinum queen".

It was none other than the Levinder merchant Muradi, who once focused on running a brothel and invested heavily in the Duke of Vilan, who was still a baron.

Queen Molly looked at the marquises who all looked as if they had eaten shit, and said, "My candidate fully meets your requirements, and I insist on using him, otherwise I will not sign the kingdom charter."

What can I do? I can only accept it, after all, it is just a small matter.

This Muradi may have some abilities, but he is ultimately just a common businessman, and his influence among the people is very limited.

He entered the cabinet as prime minister, but he couldn't cause any big waves.

So, after some tug of war, the platinum seal representing the sacred power of the royal family was finally stamped on the kingdom's charter.

The moment the matter was confirmed, Muradi felt like he was dreaming.

No, I should say that even in my wildest dreams, I never imagined that I would be able to sit in such a position.

But he is a very sober and rational person.

Although his heart was trembling, he remained calm.

"I have to hold on to Duke Weilan's legs tightly, otherwise I will definitely be killed by these ruthless nobles."

"Not only kill me~~ but also kill all my family members."

As I thought about it, I felt that it was not enough to just cling to the Duke's thigh. I also had to unite the power of the civilians in the country and find a way to get rid of these great nobles.

Not to mention killing all these nobles, at least they should be like the northern nobles of Weilan and not interfere in the country's political affairs.

Only in this way can he be completely stable as the Prime Minister of the kingdom. Even if he leaves office, he will not be liquidated by the nobles and can still maintain great dignity.

Therefore, defeating the great nobles is not only Duke Weilan's expectation, but also completely in line with his own interests.

Muradi also had many feelings in his heart.

There is a giant who did not appear in the parliament, but the shadow he cast has already had a huge influence on the parliament.

The young man he invested in has grown into a towering tree.

Now the shadow of the tree not only covered Weilan, but also gradually began to extend towards Levender.

He thought to himself, "I wonder how tall this tree can grow, and how wide the area can be covered by its canopy?"

Of course, this is all in the future.

Today, a brothel owner becomes the first regent of Levender, representing the interests of the common people of Levender. He joins the cabinet together with the kingdom's top nobles to jointly manage the vast Platinum Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Levinder also turned a new page.
