Chapter 47 Voting(2/2)
He had just angrily denounced Nantris, drawing out the secret group, and then turned to Kevin Dill. Although this move removed Iris from the enemy's ranks and left seeds of doubt, it also brought Nantris to the cliff.
The special family has completely turned the giant-horned deer into his mortal enemy.
If it can be said that Coster Nantriste's initial goal was to seek the best interests of the aristocratic group in the face of the royal family that was destined to have no heirs, then now, the goal of the giant-horned deer has become "not to let Tyr
"Sir inherits the kingdom" - this is for the future survival of the giant horned deer.
Was he too impulsive just now?
Thales secretly clenched his fists.
"You have all seen that this child has a dark heart and a narrow mind. He is obsessed with the assassination and has doubts about all of us." The one-eyed dragon took a step forward on the terrace, his voice was low, but the words he said made people feel
Shuddering: "That's why he fabricated our so-called conspiracy to seize the throne out of thin air. Do you think that when he ascends to the throne in the future, he will easily let you go and let you go, the people he once suspected of being behind the scenes?"
More than a dozen territorial nobles all frowned, and some began to look at Thales thoughtfully.
Coste continued his heart-wrenching words:
"There is only one 'virtuous king' in the history of the stars! And there is only one kind, upright, tolerant and generous His Highness Midir that you have ever met!"
Kessel frowned deeply.
"Whether you have joined the group he made up or not, you are already on his list! Many years later, when he ascends the throne, are you sure that he will not think of today or you?"
"Humph, the destruction of the stars? When that time comes and everyone in the noble family is in danger, it will be the real day of destruction!"
Gilbert gritted his teeth tightly - Coste captured what the nobles were most afraid of.
King Kessel V lowered his head and glanced at Thales, who had a bloodless face.
"Even if it is for the future and stability of the stars, Your Majesty, are you sure that choosing such a successor will not push the stars into the abyss of division and destruction?"
The other counts looked at each other without saying a word, thinking about Coste's words, until one of them broke the silence.
"Yes, back to the topic, I also feel now," Count Dastan coughed and frowned, "It is not appropriate for a low-status illegitimate child to become the supreme king of the Star Kingdom...even if the royal family and the temple have made the decision
The decision has been made, but our High Council still needs to be more cautious..." He looked at Thales, who had not yet recovered from the aftermath of the blood ceremony, but his eyes were no longer a rude look, but more cautious and...
careful.
King Kessel V nodded his scepter and said calmly: "It seems that it is not easy for the lords to reach a consensus, is it?"
"Then the last step is to let the members of the High Council vote to decide their attitude towards this child."
Thales took a deep breath.
As a result, in the end, is your destiny still not in your own hands?
The High King looked at Duke Cullen who was being supported on one side.
Duke Cullen sighed and nodded slightly: "The vassals of the Blade Territory were not present, and there were three votes missing. However, the remaining five guardian dukes, eleven imperial earls, and a total of sixteen high-ranking vassals still have the right to do this.
make a decision."
The fat Duke opened his eyes slightly: "Everyone, should this child become the Prince of the Stars with the right to inherit?"
Jinni, who was standing behind the king, finally couldn't bear it anymore. She said angrily: "Hey! Why do the princes of the royal family need to be recognized by the High Council?"
The Dukes and Earls paid no attention to her, only Costard snorted softly.
"This is a man's business," the one-eyed dragon said scornfully, "Madam, please be quiet."
"Because this child involves the inheritance of the throne. This is the oath made on the day when the country was founded." Old Count Karabiyan spoke up at this moment to relieve Jinni's embarrassment. He sighed slightly: "The king and the lord govern the country together. May the empire
The tyrant of the times will never appear."
"According to the rules established by Mindis III a hundred and fifty years ago, if it exceeds half, it is considered valid." Duke Cullen glanced at Thales with his cloudy eyes: "If there is no half or exactly equal to half, this child is just a child with only half.
