I Reincarnated as a Noble Girl Villainess But Why Did It Turn Out This Way? (WN)
14 House of Lords Disputes
As the Earl of Teresia had told me, the upset about the King Prince was enormous. Wherever you go in the Wang capital, the story is told. Of course it was also taken up as an agenda in the House of Lords.
"How do you think the impact on Pranates is in the palace?"
"Lindar, now that the situation is unstable, what are we going to do to inspire the friendly Planates?"
But if the Principality of Lindar is founded, the presence of the Principality of Denzel could make it hostile.
"If so, would it not be dangerous to take the prince of Her Majesty the Queen, who does not abandon the princess's position?"
"In the first place, there should be no need to prescribe Prince Wang at this time. By Prince Albert's associate adulthood, there will be four more years."
It is this confusion as soon as the debate begins. The House of Lords cannot be directly involved in the royal succession, but it is possible if it is indirectly involved through the High House of Lords. The incandescent nobles turned their spearheads to the Eidner court uncle, who places his seat in the upper house of nobility as a senate when the barren contention comes to a paragraph.
What the hell is the history and for what reason has the heir of Prince Wang been decided?
Sir Eidner answers the question with a little confusion himself.
"It was not long after February that the Royal Family gave us notice of this case of Riko. All the senators and prime ministers took the opposite position, but the royal family and the church, with the exception of Her Royal Highness, all agreed with Master Alfred's standing son."
"Stupid. The royal family should be the most recognizing of Master Albert's excellence. Even if the Merriats put it down, the whole House of Tulle will push Master Alfred..."
Incredible, it was Jonas Borderline uncle who raised his voice. Its voice is higher than that of a poor Senior House of Lords, as it is the lord who governs the most important territory in the country.
Sir Eidner, who was objected to head-on, had crept up like a frog stared at by a serpent.
Fair enough, and it is King Einschvark who accepts it. This one is entrusted with King Yugfena and Castle Fort, which is a border defense imperative, as is Junas Border Uncle, but the influence on the Royal Family is not that high because Uncle Wang's status does not entitle him to hereditary assault. Nature and role seems to be the main bridge between the Wang capital and the local nobility.
On the sidelines of Parliament's dispute, the Earl of Teresia quietly began to explain the situation outside the country. Due to my overwhelming lack of knowledge compared to the adult nobles, this is how petite lectures by the Count are often held when attending the House of Lords.
"I can say that the situation in Lindar is currently experiencing some of the most important occasions. Under pressure from the four principalities to establish the Principality of the Union of Lindar, the Kingdom of Lindar is losing its function as a nation. The demise of the kingdom means the establishment of the Principality of the Union"
"We are surrounded by four principalities. As the Principality of the United States, is this a place that must be suppressed as a center?"
"That's not all. (iv) The Principality does not differ in national power. Which country controls the centre is the biggest obstacle in establishing the Principality of the Union"
"You mean take in the kingdom and make it a flag that won't let you have political influence?
I wonder if that would be a pretty interesting system. Unlike in previous life, in this world, it is natural that a king has the power to dictate national politics. In the case of Lindar, the four principalities would put up one top only to be united, so that top would almost certainly not be given anything more than a role as a symbol.
"I wonder what will happen after it's been concluded."
"Come on... like using the system of the elect emperor and the emperor?
"Quite a flexible idea, but a power struggle within the Central Court would intensify"
"Succession to the pinnacle of a country is a problem for every country."
Exactly like now Archsia, he added, the Count laughed at Russia.
Its complexion is still blue and white. Seems to have recovered by the time I was able to get out of the floor, but still doesn't seem to be in good shape. Looks like he pushed himself out just to attend today's regular rally.
"If the founding of the Principality of Lindar Union is near, isn't it still a good idea to stimulate Pranates"
"It's a difficult place. Indeed, among the four principalities, Pranates is the only country to have signed a treaty of friendship and trade. but denzel is a hostile country and has little interaction with geograts and permigrans. If we worsen our relationship with Planates, it will be imperative to lean towards those who do not have a good relationship"
That's not hard to understand. The aristocrats are most worried about Prince Alfred's standing son.
Especially facing the border with Planates, the Junas Border Uncle would have no choice but to get nervous about the matter.
But as someone said earlier, there's also a problem with Her Royal Highness retaining her position as Princess of Pranates.
However, it is not possible to understand whether there is a problem in defining Albert, the first prince, as the next king. I twist my head looking for a reason for the Count's words too, but I can't figure it out. I have no choice, so I ask why. Faced with the Junas Border Reverend, Lord of the realm in charge of one end of the eastern border defense line, ignorance cannot be a disgrace for life.
"... why is that?
"Hmm. Right...... the Duke of Pranates' right to raid is not granted only to direct men, but to all men of that lineage. Though men take precedence."
It is also usual for me to be given such information as I deem necessary to reach the answer on my own, rather than a direct answer. I hear the Earl of Teresia weighs in on building his thinking skills.
Does the fact that the Queen has not abandoned the princess's position mean that she has not abandoned any of her rights in Pranates...? In doing so, Prince Albert, his son, is also granted Planates rights......?
"Does that mean Prince Albert also has the right to attack the Duke of Pranates, since Her Royal Highness has not forsaken the status of Duchess?"
"According to the laws of Pranates, it will be so"
"I see. That's a problem."
If Prince Albert becomes the King Prince, Arksia will almost certainly have plenty of room for Pranates. Even if Pranates doesn't use the prince to try to do something.
By the time the queen came to Arxia to marry her, there would have been nothing wrong. But now there is a presence in the Principality of the Lindar Union. It is quite dangerous to inherit the blood of the rulers of a country that can antagonize Arxia as the blood of the Arxian royal family.
I'm finally convinced, and my head is neat. If you have no questions, you can have your own opinions, so you are also willing to listen seriously to the arguments of the boring nobles.
My opinion is that the royal family should have thought about the time of Riko in view of the situation in Lindar. Shouldn't we have waited until Prince Albert's associate adult, at least as someone said to the first one?
"..................,"
There, fu, memories as if they were flashbacks came to mind a sea of thought.
It was a shard of memory from a previous life, like a story painted in a book, completely unrealistic.
(Emilia, the Grand Duchess of the Principality of Lindar, wanted to marry in her neighboring kingdom of Arksia and would enter a school where nobles of the kingdom would gather to find their own husband...)
-That's right. The prologue of that maiden game must have started with a sentence like this.
I don't think that's why we're talking about a definitive future. No matter how controversial the House of Lords was, I felt vague certainty that Prince Alfred's standing son would not be covered.
