Section 183 Regent Candidates

Prince Otto walked into the dark bedroom, and the windows were covered with thick wool cloth. This was the doctor's instructor to believe that evil substances would enter the room, and the priests ignited the sound of spices. Usually people of this era believed that spices could drive away the disease, and of course the bells in the cathedral meant that prayers were going on.

"Huh, cough, it's so damn." King Henry lay on the sickbed. He was once a mighty man, and could only linger between the sickbed. His thin body was buried in the dark, but his eyes were bright and bright.

"Don't worry, I have sent someone to a farther kingdom, and I will definitely be able to find a famous doctor." Prince Otto immediately comforted his father.

"Oh, it's really tormenting. My chest is like hot iron juice pouring in." King Henry said with a frown.

"I can only pray to the Lord every day to relieve your pain." Prince Otto said sincerely, kneeling beside Henry.

"In addition to being summoned by the Lord, what I worry most is your inheritance issue. You must be able to ascend to the throne smoothly." King Henry tried hard to lift his body, holding Prince Otto's hand in both hands, staring at the son he valued.

"You have declared me as your heir, so don't worry anymore. You should rest assured to recuperate!" Prince Otto comforted him.

"No, I did not plan to be king before and shoulder the burden of the throne. It was the will of the Lord that made me sit on the throne, but I knew very well that you were a person suitable to wear the crown. This would be the luck of the kingdom, so, so, cough cough." King Henry's pale face turned flushed due to excitement, and he said hard.

"Don't worry." Prince Otto quickly patted Henry's back, hoping to relieve the king's pain.

"According to Caroling's tradition, you must be elected by the noble council after my death." King Henry recovered and lay on the soft cushion again, he said to his son.

"Yes, you have convinced the Duke and the Church." Prince Otto nodded and said to King Henry.

"Haha. That was when I was alive, they had to obey the king's orders, but once I died, this secret agreement would be ineffective." King Henry said with a smile.

"You are going to?" Prince Otto's expression became solemn. It seemed that King Henry was planning a major event.

King Henry didn't say anything, he just stared at his son. Prince Otto's lips had a beard, and his outline was as firm as a real man, like a man of a real Germanic nobleman.

"This plan needs reliable people to execute. Show your strength. Do you have a candidate for this?" King Henry asked Prince Otto.

"Do you mean military power?" Prince Otto asked curiously.

"It's not just military power, but also a wealthy treasury and imagination." King Henry said to Prince Otto.

"Article Mainz?"

"No, Archbishop Mainz is not a suitable candidate." King Henry shook his head and denied Prince Otto's proposal. Archbishop Mainz is not an excellent candidate, or even a person to be wary of.

"Oh by the way, Duke Mason disappeared recently in the Principality of Bavaria. I sent Duke Mason's sister-in-law in the name of the royal family, and the Duke of Mecklenburg showed loyalty to the royal family." Prince Otto soon realized his father's intention. The king did not want old forces to occupy it in a new dynasty.

"Is that new frontier? Well, that's not bad." King Henry's eyes lit up and he nodded with satisfaction. There was no better way to fight against the old nobles than to introduce new powers.

"It just so happened that the Mason nobles submitted it to the royal family about the disposal of Duke Mason's land. We may take the opportunity to buy the Duke of Mecklenburg." Prince Otto thought for a while and felt aroused. He remembered a proposal submitted by the Mason nobles.

A few months later, the Duke of Bavaria and the Duke of Mecklenburg received the orders of the king, giving the Duke of Bavaria that Eberhad had the right to inherit the Duke of Franknia. After satisfying the Duke of Bavaria's attempts to land, the Duke of the old horse was finally settled and agreed to live in peace with the Duke of Mecklenburg.

The Duke of Mecklenburg Arod was about the handling of the Principality of Mason. As the Duke of Mason who had no descendants, after Duke Mason died, he followed the law of inheritance law. Duke Mason's nephew, William, the eldest son of Arod, became the ruler of the Principality of Mason. However, William was still in his infancy, and the regent with rule was extremely important at this time. The nobles of Mason believed that Princess Josie of the Hermann family should become the regent for granted, but there were also voices who believed that there should be a male regent.

When both opinions were placed before the king, King Henry supported Arod as the regent of the Principality of Mason and became the actual ruler of the Principality of Mason. At this time, Arod became the supreme ruler of the Principality of Mecklenburg and Mason.

In the morning meeting room, Arod called his confidant court officials and held a meeting on the handling of the matter. When he heard that Arod's son William became Duke of Mason, the court officials were excited, but then the candidate for the regent was immediately caused by the royal family's proposals from the nobles of Mason, which caused a controversy.

"These Mason nobles are so unreasonable. If we hadn't led our troops against the Duke of Bavaria, if we hadn't quelled the riots in the Principal of Mason and restored order, they would have been in exile long ago." Earl Iv said angrily, and he was extremely angry at the ungratefulness of the Mason nobles.

"Okay, the Mason nobles just want my wife to be regent. After all, the prestige of the Herman family convinced them." Arod didn't care. This was the case with the nobles of this era. They would rather believe in the ancient and declining families than the emerging nobles, even if Arod brought them a lot of benefits.

"Then you say, Arude, do you want to accept the appointment of the royal family?" Yifu asked Arude.

"If I accept the appointment of the royal family, how should I give Princess Josie an explanation? After all, the Principality of Mason is her home. Will it take away the home of his wife?" Arod tapped his finger on the wooden table. From the bottom of his heart, he hoped to accept the Principality of Mason and make it his own direct territory. You should know that the Principality of Mason developed much earlier than Mecklenburg, and its culture and economy were much stronger than border areas like Mecklenburg. If it was included, it would provide strong support for the expansion of the east.

"A woman is just a subordinate of a man. Why should she consider her ideas? Of course, this does not mean to offend Princess Josie. It's just that you shouldn't listen to men in national affairs?" Yifu said dismissively. His ideas were actually very consistent with this era, but Aruod's soul came from later generations, the era of women's independence.

"I will discuss with my wife before making a decision." Arod stood up. He did not want this to become a rift between the couple. At this moment, the monk Elvit, who had been silent, spoke.

"Mr. Duke, I will report to you one thing." Monk Elvit said to Arod.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Aruod asked.

"In fact, before you came back from the war, Mason's nobles had already visited His Highness the Princess." said Monk Elvit.

"Oh? Is this happening?" Aruod slowly sat down, and he planned to listen carefully.

"The Mason noble brought a lot of gifts. Of course, as a living Duke Mason's immediate family, Princess Josie had no problem accepting the gifts. However, I think His Royal Highness should have known for a long time. Knowing that the Mason nobleman has recommended her as the regent." Monk Elvit looked at Arod carefully, and then stuttered.

"But I haven't heard her say it?" Aruod was a little surprised. Princess Qiaoxi did not reveal the news at all, but Aruod himself thought that he and the princess were the best couple to talk about.

"Maybe, Your Highness the Princess hasn't figured out how to reject the Mason nobles, so he didn't tell you!" Dylan Matt looked at Arod, who looked unhappy and quickly smoothed out the situation.

"Have, what about you, why is there no news on your intelligence network?" Arod looked at the spy leader Harvey sitting beside him.

"Don't worry, I have already controlled the locations of the Mason nobles. If there is any unfavorable safety, my people will immediately catch them." Harvey flirted with his red hair and reported to Arod.

"There must be a misunderstanding in this. My wife may be deceived, but she will never betray me." Arod said to the court officials, trying to convince himself.

"That's right, don't be suspicious. Princess Josie is our family. Do you remember the time when she was pregnant and tried hard to defend Mecklenburg? Like Josephine, she is a brave woman who cares about the family." Yifu said carelessly.

"Yes, I shouldn't have doubted her. Harvey grabbed the Mason nobles, questioned them strictly, and asked who was trying to deceive Princess Josie." Arod's face softened a little, but at the same time gave a harsh order to Harvey.

"Yes, Lord Duke." Harvey quickly stood up, her eyes swept on Arud, but soon bowed like a minister.

The Blood Drop Brotherhood is extremely efficient. Outside the hotel in the northeast corner of the commercial area, a team of people holding the Blood Drop Wooden Signs were quietly surrounded. A member who took off the wooden sign walked up and knocked on the door. The yawning waiter opened the door with a sleepy eyes. As soon as the door opened a gap, the members of the Blood Drop Brothers stomped open the door, and then the sound of leather boots stepping onto the wooden ladder sounded one after another.

"Well, what's going on? Do you know who I am?" A Mason nobleman was wearing a white shirt and drinking happily all night long and was still confused, but was dragged out of the bed by members of the Blood Drip Brothers.

"Someone jumped out of the window." At this time, a sound of falling to the ground sounded, and another quick-witted young Mason nobleman jumped out of the hotel window.
