If it is placed before the establishment of the transmission magic array, the king will issue a notice throughout the territory when he is seriously ill, and then order all lords and nobles to prepare to resist the king's capital within one to three months according to the different distance between the territory and the king's capital. But now, because of the invention of the transmission magic array, the journey will be much faster. Therefore, since the death of Angus Ryan, nobles and lords from all over the world have been ordered to arrive at the king's capital in one day to participate in condolence.
When Sean received the news, it was more than half a month later. Then he and Alexis arrived at the king's capital directly by magic. It didn't take much time. While Athena and Elizabeth arrived in the royal capital in the same way. Vivian led 500 thunder fronts to meet Athena and others in a hurry a week ago. However, in just one week, there have been four assassinations against fergies - if you count the two in the previous palace, fergies has been assassinated six times since the death of the old king ingers. It can be imagined how urgent the enemy wants to get rid of fergies.
Unfortunately, Sean and Athena do not know the reason.
But compared with kiasna's eagerness to know why, Sean didn't want to get involved at all.
In two days, it will be the burial day of Angus Ryan, and then all the nobles who were summoned to the king's condolences can leave.
Sean didn't want to get into any new trouble. He just wanted to spend the two days safely.
So Sean didn't pay attention to the invitation of the third prince, his highness Alan.
Besides, Sean didn't want to go to the rosan guild hall at all. He made a lot of trouble in the guild hall. Later, he learned that the guild hall was actually the product of the black eagle, one of the three kings of Ryan's underground world. However, the guy named Black Hawk never showed up after the failure of assassinating Sean, and Sean gave all these activities about the black hawk to the Marquis of Flores. The whereabouts of the Black Hawk were still not found in the subsequent secret pursuit, but also because the Black Hawk left Ryan kingdom, Therefore, all the secret industries and territories he left behind were naturally replaced by Flores.
After that, rupee took over the position of the Black Hawk and became one of the three dark giants in the underground world of Ryan Kingdom, and "ruled by the river" with the Marquis of Flores. Because of Sean's relationship, the two agreed on some special treaties and occasionally shared private intelligence. The thing they both caught more seriously was to continue to hunt down the Black Hawk. However, it is a pity that the figure who used to be one of the three giants in the underground world of lane Kingdom has never been found.
But Sean didn't want to take care of the three Prince Arlan, but he didn't want to pay more attention to Sean because he saw her highness Arlan who was injured by Fanny.
So, under very delicate circumstances, the three princes visited in person and knocked on the door where Sean stayed.
It can be imagined how surprised Sean looked when he opened the door and saw his highness Arlan standing outside the door smiling at himself. To tell the truth, Sean wanted to close the door directly, but after a little thinking for two seconds, Sean welcomed the prince to his room.
"You didn't take you to your elf follower?" Sean glanced at Arlan's back and confirmed that there was no second person behind him.
Alan glanced at Sean, and his face looked very strange, because he really couldn't tell whether Sean was provoking him or just chatting? If it was someone else, Arlan was 100% sure that the other party was definitely provoking him, but in the face of the rumored Duke of vanity, there was no malice in his eyes, so Arlan really didn't know how to judge.
So he could only smile bitterly and sighed, "don't you know that, Archduke Sean?"
"Huh?" Sean blinked, then turned his head and looked at Alexis.
He remembered that Alexis told him that she had been very lenient and would not have any sequelae at all. As for the serious injury, it was even more impossible. Yesterday, Alexis deliberately let her go in order to fight with the other party in her heyday. If she was badly hurt, I didn't know that Ma Yue would be able to fight with the other party in the year of the monkey. With Alexis's temperament, I would never do such a thing.
But now, according to Prince Arlan, Sean seems to be that his follower's injury is not light. In this way, it is seriously inconsistent with what Alexis said last night.
"Her injury is not so serious. She can move freely after lying down for a day at most." Alexis didn't want to speak, but when she saw Sean's eyes full of doubt, she could only explain, "anyway, you elves have life potions. Just drink and sleep with that degree of internal injury."
Hearing this, Alan was shocked because judging from Alexis's words just now, he already knew that it was mercy from others last night, so the strength of Sean's follower was definitely much higher than Fanny, far from what Fanny guessed that there was only thirteen peaks, Even Fanny's meteorite sword will not be her opponent. However, although Arlan was shocked in his heart, the look on his face was very natural and there was no difference.
But I don't know that the other two people in the room, one is the middle Holy Land strong man and the other is the super strong man. At the moment when Arlan's heart beat faster and heavier, they couldn't escape their ears, but neither Sean nor Alexis planned to say anything. Of course, Alexis didn't think it was necessary. She was only interested in the strong, and Arlan didn't have any martial arts skills. Naturally, she wouldn't care; Sean, on the other hand, thought there was no need to tear the face of his highness Arlan. From the point of view that the other party dared to visit alone, he should not want to trouble himself.
Although Marquis Flores has said that the main supporters of the three prince, his highness Alain, are the political enemies of those sene aristocratic factions in Ryan Kingdom, Sean is not a fool. Of course, he has his own judgment and understanding. Especially now, he is no longer the young child of that year. He has been a Lord for so long, even if he has rarely personally participated in the development and construction of the territory, or even had little contact with other lords, but he is also familiar with all the things in the aristocratic circle under the eyes and ears of William and Hella.
At present, the third prince Arlan visited in person, just to make up.
Sure enough, after a little polite greeting with Sean, the three princes quickly went straight to the theme: "Archduke Sean, I'm actually selfish to visit this time. I think there may be some misunderstanding about last night. "
"I should say I'm sorry." Sean smiled and said, "last night was my companion. I haven't had contact with the strong for a long time. Did I meet such an excellent follower of your highness, so I may feel itchy for a moment. I hurt your highness a little more. Please forgive me."
Sean knew what Arlan knew from the slight acceleration of Arlan's heartbeat just now, so he naturally had no scruples when he opened his mouth.
Maybe he didn't adapt to Sean's so straightforward way of speaking, or maybe he didn't know how to deal with Sean's words, so Alan looked a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. However, after all, he was specially responsible for the diplomatic work of Ryan kingdom. Naturally, his thinking was very agile and his negotiation ability was not weak. He soon thought of the way to deal with it. A few words brought the topic to the past and made the atmosphere seem harmonious.
"I don't think your highness made a special trip to visit because of that little thing last night." But Alan wanted to go around in circles, but Sean didn't intend to continue.
"Well... That's right." Alan probably has found out Sean's character and speaking habits, so since Sean has spoken so directly, of course he doesn't intend to continue to argue, "I think, Archduke Sean, you should know, because my father's death is so strange that there is no successor designated, so now the political situation is quite chaotic. I'm very sad about it, So I hope to get your support from Archduke Sean and help me ascend the throne. "
Under normal circumstances, Alan would not be so straightforward.
After all, if some things are too open and straightforward, they will make things difficult and troublesome - especially those timid and cautious nobles, who always think about conspiracy theory and guess whether it is a test or something. However, Sean is really a little different. What he hates most is beating around the Bush and making random guesses. Explaining the situation directly is his favorite way of communication.
"Allow me to refuse, your highness arland." Sean refused without any thought. "I have no intention of getting involved in your royal disputes. This time, I came to Wangdu only to mourn his majesty and do my duty as a minister. As for the next king's successor, I do not believe that the wise people of his majesty Engels have made no arrangements. "
In fact, Sean had known the truth through the last visit of marquis Flores. Maybe others don't know, but he knows that Marquis Flores is a real lone minister. He can only continue to live if he continues to be loyal to the heir designated by Angus Ryan. After all, he knows too many other people's secrets, so many people will be happy to see the intelligence leader of Ryan Kingdom die.
Therefore, when Marquis Flores said that Angus had not had time to appoint an heir, Sean believed it.
However, Alan obviously did not intend to give up: "in fact, Archduke Sean, my father did not leave any suicide note this time." Speaking of this, Arlan's face looked quite helpless, but then turned into excitement: "but! Grand Duke Sean! Do you think my brother Adams and my sister fergies are suitable candidates? "
"Do you think you can do it?" Sean asked back.
"I don't think so." Arlan shook his head slightly, "but at least I'm more suitable than my brother and sister My sister Wang lacks courage. If not, I will support her as her successor, because she is deeply loved by the lower nobility and the people of the kingdom. If you have to say that the one who is most unfit to succeed to the throne is undoubtedly my brother Wang, because now he has a distorted character. Even if he is far away, I can smell the chaos on him. "
Sean looked at Arlan calmly. In the eyes of the three princes, Sean saw sincerity. So he believed that the assassins of Princess Heath's Royal Highness were not sent by the prince. He also saw the sincerity of cooperation in the eyes of his Highness the prince, so he believed that those Senegalese nobles would not come to trouble themselves now, and they might even have been excluded from their camp by his Highness the prince.
It's just, it's a pity.
"I'm sorry, your highness Arlan, I still can't promise." Sean shook his head. "I really don't intend to get involved in your competition for the throne. Otherwise, I will choose the camp chosen by Archduke Athena, who I am more familiar with. But since I even refused the request of Archduke Athena, I have no reason to join your camp However, your highness Alain, if you really think as you said just now, I think you should probably have a good talk with your highness fercis. "
Alan didn't answer. He just stared at Sean.
After a long time, the three princes finally nodded and chose to leave.
Looking at the prince's departure, Alexis tilted her mouth: "it's boring. I thought there would be a conflict I knew I wouldn't let the elf leave last night. Maybe I could force the other party to take out the unique skill of pressing the bottom of the box. Now it seems that I really don't have to fight. "
"I am very curious now, who wants to assassinate the highness of the princess?" Sean stood by the window, watching Alan get into a gray carriage, and then gradually away from his sight, "but unfortunately, I really don't have time to deal with this now."
"Going to find that Cecilia?" Alexis asked.
"How do you know?" Sean was stunned.
"You called this name many times when you went to bed last night, and I remember it."
Sean's face flushed slightly, then coughed, trying to change the subject. But even if Sean didn't try, Alexis didn't have much interest in asking about it, because for Alexis, all she cared about was fighting, and she wouldn't care about anything else.
However, perhaps it was because his highness arland's visit made many people know, so no one bothered Sean for the whole day.
It also made Sean happy.
The next day.
The sky, which had been clear for more than half a month, looked gray, and occasionally there were bursts of rain as fine as cattle hair.
Today's King capital is particularly silent and sad, as if there is a strong resentment condensed in the city. The civilians spontaneously went out early in the morning, and then gathered in the street, forming a long row from the main gate of Wangdu to the center of Wangdu square. And those nobles also gathered in the palace early. Occasionally, even if someone greeted and communicated with each other, their voice was very depressed.
Because today, the remains of the old king ingers Ryan will be sent from the palace to the firewood pile already built in the center of the square for cremation ceremony. All the nobles who have now gathered in the king's capital will also act with the guards who escort the remains.
This has always been a custom in the kingdom of Ryan.
Sean had been well mended before he came to Wangdu, so he certainly won't make any mistakes today.
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the king's capital, the guard escorting ingers Ryan's body set out from the palace. Following the guard were Engels' sons and daughters, but the eldest son Adams lane, followed by the third son Arlan lane and the fourth daughter furheath lane, followed by other children arranged according to their age.
The important ministers behind these princes and princesses were Sean and Athena, and then the Duke, marquis, count and Viscount of the kingdom.
This is a vast team.
But looking at the team, Sean felt only a dull death.
He knew very well that when the cremation ceremony was over, I was afraid that the war from the three contenders for the throne would directly enter the white hot stage. Fundamentally speaking, this internal friction has always been avoided by all countries. Therefore, generally, when princes and princesses grow up, successive kings will conduct an assessment on their children, and then seal up the letters with heirs in advance.
Based on Sean's understanding of his majesty ingers Ryan, he was sure that ingers would make these preparations in advance and not be so confused. But the fact was like hitting Sean in the face. Even as the closest Minister of Angus Ryan, the Marquis of Flores did not find the letter. If someone else said he couldn't find the letter, Sean would think someone was doing something secretly, but when the Marquis Flores said this, Sean could only think that Angus Ryan was too confused.
Because if there is only one person in the whole kingdom of lane who will not betray Angus lane, it must be the Marquis of Flores.
But as the team moved forward, Sean quickly drove these ideas out of his mind.
He did not intend to participate in the battle for the throne, and naturally did not care who became the next king of Ryan kingdom in the end. All he knew was that when the cremation ceremony was over, he and Alexis would leave here immediately and go to the Millennium covenant empire.
