The Old Knight of a Frontier District

5

"Well, that's why.

There seems to be nothing suspicious about the king's collapse or the cause of his death.

Besides, a king is a hell of a job.

The king, who did his job properly, seems to be short-lived in history.

Problem is later.

In the days of King Juleland's reign, there were no other fluctuations in the number of succession holders.

Then there were still a dozen succession holders.

One of the more is Prince Baldrant.

The other was rarely royal. "

Who is it, Bardo asked?

"I am the Marquis of Chantillion Argolide, the commanding officer of the King's army.

Did you know that General Chantillion inherited the counts of Saint-Giel and Cirque and was told by the Marquis.

The truth is that it was a little impossible to place such a nobleman in the general of the King's direct command.

King Juleland was most definitely comforted, and General Chantillion continued to receive it.

General Chantillion is good at a handful of elite electric shocks, and he's an exceptional family member.

The revolt to revise the terms of the contract in favor also quickly calmed down, and the poor nobleman kept the revolt itself in mind before General Chantillion's prestige.

There are also many skirmishes with urban states and sub-people, as the trade rights and territories of the Kingdom of Parzam extend south.

General Chantillion accommodated these skirmishes while minimizing damage to both enemy allies.

Even when the marquis and the royal army took military action together, the royal army was bound to take the lead because no one of higher stature than the Marquis of Chantillion would ever come into action.

You fight, you always win, and you don't do useless damage.

Its name rang to every corner of the kingdom. "

I see, Bardo thought.

Chantillion found what he could do and did it on a flinch.

"But just because you got the right to inherit the throne, it's only a matter of honor, and in fact, there can be no king out of anything but royalty.

That means the dynasty will change.

So both General Chantillion and the Argorides kept their eyes open.

Since the granting of the right to inherit the throne to General Chantillion came just after the First Nations War, I guess the reward meant something strong.

Honor instead of territory.

Prince Baldrant really slipped in.

After the bed of sickness, His Majesty the former King summoned a meeting of the Council of Privy Advisers to win a resolution granting Prince Baldrant the right to inherit the throne.

Young, then, leads to the nomination of Prince Wang. "

Rather than that, the pivotal advisers must have identified the next generation of trends, Bardo thought.

I mean, I've only seen King Jules Lant's blood muscles.

Some voted in favour.

"Now, what was odd here was the movement of the righteous queen, Shernelia.

Around us, the Queen and Princess rushed to start running to take her son to the throne.

But Lady Zheng solemnly proceeded with the funeral of the former King Jules Lant, and remained completely indifferent to the dispute over the next throne.

The status of queen shall continue until the next king takes office.

Moreover, since the first queen remains missing, the authority of the righteous queen is very high.

If Queen Shernelia stood around well, it would not be a dream to take Prince Baldrant to the throne.

In order to obtain the throne, it is necessary to obtain a large number of votes in both the Council of Privy Advisers and the Council of Ministers.

In order to obtain the votes of the Council of Ministers, it is necessary to obtain the support of the great nobles behind it.

The holders of the throne inheritance rights ran to the takeover operation with their possessions, or gained supporters by promising their rights after the throne took office.

Then the Lady Dowager was terribly quiet. "

That's odd, Bardo thought.

It should be Shernelia who likens Jules Rant to his will.

Isn't it still Baldrant, my son, that can convey and achieve that will?

Or from the eyes of Shernelia, was Prince Baldrant not its vessel?

"Jules, the day of the King's burial came before Rant.

Of course the organizer is Shernelia the Queen.

Lady Shernelia forced the Duke of Argolide, who visited her condolences, into a separate room.

Those who saw this thought:

The Queen wants the Marquis of Baucrus, or General Chantillion, as his prime minister. "

I see, Bardo thought.

Of the seven duke houses that draw the blood of the first king, the Argorides have the greatest power.

It may be said that it has the greatest influence in both the Council of Privy Advisers and the Council of Ministers.

Marquis Baucrus is the eldest son of its Duke of Argolide and succeeds him.

Chantillion is Junying, who was removed from the branch to the main house and may now be called the face of the Argolide family.

Instead of giving either of these two the power of Chancellor, we're negotiating to help Baldrant win the throne.

But is the prime minister a good position there?

I'm not sure where it is.

"People laughed coldly.

The prime minister's position is fascinating, but there's no way the sophisticated Duke of Argoride can make a single choice in picking up a chestnut in the fire like helping Prince Baldrant win the throne for it.

Eventually the burial was over and became the greeting of the presiding officer.

Lady Shernelia went in and greeted her, but before announcing the day of the main funeral at the heart, she stepped back.

People were stunned to see what happened next.

General Chantillion has entered and announced the day of his funeral. "

Bardo's knowledge did not tell why it would be welcomed with surprise.

"Don't you see, Lord Bardo?

Whoever announces the day off is not the one who hosts the main funeral.

If anyone but the Queen were to host the king's funeral, it would mean something to him to become the next king. "

Whoever performs the king's funeral, that is, the next king.

I see.

Speaking of which, I think I've heard stories like that a long time ago.

"Later it became clear that what Lady Shernelia proposed to the Duke of Argolide on this day was to take General Chantillion to the throne of a substitute king.

And he wanted Prince Baldrant to retain his right to inherit the throne, and eventually, when Prince Baldrant grows up and achieves his track record, he would give up the throne.

Both the Privy Counsel and the Chief Minister have those who love King Juleland and wish to inherit his will.

If Prince Baldrant is promised the throne, they will also vote for General Chantillion's inauguration.

And now that I know that, I will bear the cost of the ceremony and celebration at which General Chantillion will be crowned king of the throne, Lady Shernelia. "

Hmm, Bardo thought.

I see.

Chantillion has the right to inherit the throne, so I guess he can also be a substitute king.

If it doesn't mean handing over the royal power at all, it means taking office as a substitute king, then resistance may be less even for those outside the royal family.

But at dawn when Prince Baldrant grew up, he promised to give up the king.

How trustworthy can the promise be fulfilled?

Chantillion may try to keep his word, but whether the Argorides will allow it.

Once the Argorides have gained the status of king of the generations, will they let it go?

Nevertheless, there seemed to be a good number of Julelant toners, both to the Privy Advisor and to the Heavy Minister.

Probably took the time to build trust, or nurture it up, and Julelant increased his side.

"Well, at that point, it seemed like the Lady Dowager had handed over royalty to the Argorides.

The royals went mad.

Not to mention royalty with inheritance rights.

Probably a significant number of assassins were sent to the rear palace.

I hear the female martial arts officers raised by Lord Doriatessa have been active. "

And Lady Shernelia's army of samurai, Bardo thought.

They're not just proficient in how tea is brewed.

They have very good enemy detection and defense skills.

is what I once heard from Doriatessa.

"Privy adviser and heavy minister under the influence of the Argorides.

Plus a pivotal adviser and a heavy minister who should be called the Jules Rant.

Together, these two can win the throne of the king first.

But the Duke of Argoride put in a precaution.

You turned to the royal tenderness that was putting your fortune into the battle for succession to the throne.

Anyway, the royal family of Parzam has no benefit to its allies, but if it turns to its enemies, it is not troublesome.

He spit out his tarnished money, sprinkled it on the royal family, and even gave up part of the territory to get in the mood.

He also offered the other Six Dukes a huge profit offering.

Thus, at the selection meeting of the new king, the reign of the deputy king of General Chantillion was decided, and the funeral of the former king was organized by General Chantillion. "

Chantillion.

Did that Chantillion take the place of King Parzam, albeit surrogate?

Bardo was struck by emotion.

"Well, finally, it's the reign ceremony of the Reigning King.

Of course, this is not done at state expense, but it is not something that the state treasury can afford, and when this happens, a special donation is solicited.

In this case, you know the Queen will fund it from the beginning.

I didn't know if the Lady Dowager had enough money to cover the reign ceremony, but it was presumed that she was bringing a fair amount of money with her when she was married. "

Oh, look at that. Shernelia has a bright eye for business.

Bringing money could actually be the money she earned herself.

"The old Duke of Argoride would have sung the spring of the world.

Even when it comes to acting kings, authority is the same as that of kings.

Once you take that seat, you can exercise every authority.

And, of course, stripping the unsuitable of their right to inherit the throne.

Moreover, due to the bloody efforts of past generations of kings, the authority and force of the king of Parzam is unprecedented.

Once you took over the kingdom, you didn't want to let go. "

Hmm.

That's not natural.

Heh.

The Duke of Raccoon and Princess Shernelia?

Conspiracy matches go up either way.

"Now we are finally in the phase of discussing the steps of the reign ceremony for the Reigning King.

But Lady Shernelia mentioned something strange here.

I'll take care of it.

I don't know how much money you have, but it's not something that's supposed to be easy to do, such as impromptu hands.

No, no matter how much money you have, that doesn't matter.

It's a very complicated and complicated adjustment and preparation.

Then here came the proximity of the former king and his collaborators on the table.

Privy advisers, including Mardos Arkeios Township West Hou and Senior Priest Bari Toad.

Those among the heavy ministers who have resonated with King Juleland, or have been found and nurtured by the King.

Viscount Riccionel. Beginning. The proximity of the powerful.

People who were King Juleland advocates from the beginning, beginning with Viscount Badoor.

Marquis Tiguerto Bowen, Consul of Cassese, and the others, taken up by King Juleland.

The promising stocks of the noble second son, the three sons, who began as Kieje Lager and drew into the Kingsguard.

The prowess of the military, including General Seidelmont Expungler.

Those people came together as if they had signed up and started working together to prepare for the impromptu ceremony.

The Duke of Argoride panicked, but this kind of thing is still strong, in fact, who gives money anyway before the building.

The Duke, who totally spit out his fortune with allowances to royalty and senior nobility, was no better than to stand still and watch the Hands of the Queen. "

That's right.

Jules, look at Rant. There's no way the collaborators won't show up.

There's no way Jules Rant can keep the good guys out of sight.

They take over Jules' will.

"If you open the lid, the scale of the reign ceremony has become completely unimaginable to everyone.

The Crown Prince from the Goriola Empire, the King himself from Tula and Seion, and the King Prince from Gainelia.

In addition, the presence of a king or prince from more than two dozen other countries made me blush.

But the biggest surprise is not there.

How dare one of the four archbishops come from the Temple of Mercano to grasp the ritual.

I wonder how much money I can accumulate to call the Archbishop or something.

Lady Shernelia's money was a huge sum, and you followed this step completely.

The Duke of Argoride would have turned bright blue.

In the line of kings, crowns and princes, but also in a ritual executed by the Archbishop of the Temple of Mercano, King Chantillion was sworn in, waiting for the adult of the first son of the former king to transfer the throne in his reign as a substitute king.

Break this oath and Parzam will be a laugh in the middle plains.

Instead, if we were to nominate Prince Baldrant as the next king, the crushed Mercano Temple would not send a cleric to the reign ceremony.

I mean, we can't have a reign ceremony.

It wasn't until this time that the Duke realized he had been devoured.

Besides, this was done by one Lady Shernelia.

Neither the taking of General Chantillion to the throne of a substitute king nor the promise to take Prince Baldrant to the throne in the future were carried by one Lady Schernelia, and the proximity and homologues of King Juleland have made no move.

I mean, I don't owe you anywhere at all.

Therefore, in the reign of King Baldrant, who should eventually come, they do not hesitate to sift their arms.

I don't know.

Isn't it brilliant? "

Brilliant.

Really brilliant.

That's Shernelia, Bardo thought.

But the next moment, something cold ran down my spine.

I mean, that means.

"There is an effective way to honor this vow.

By killing Prince Baldrant.

That too, if possible, without merit and at an age where the talent is uncertain.

It is now precisely Lady Shernelia and King Juleland who will continue to fight for the life of Prince Baldrant. "

I can't be alarmed.

But at least Chantillion himself would not adopt a method such as the assassination of Baldrant.

Oh!

It goes on.

Jules Lang's dream is that life goes on.

Now I just wanted to give my compliments to Lady Shernelia for her struggle.

"But the fact that I didn't contact Lord Bardo at all falls to my feet.

The failure to contact His Majesty's defeat is unclear.

Let's just say it's not a nuisance to tell.

But it would have been more convenient to call Lord Bardo for the reign ceremony of His Majesty King Chantillion.

At any rate, Lord Bardo is not a proven general.

For once in that country, you will be called a general for life and you will be honored.

Not to mention that there is no hiding fame as a Wazid Entrante.

If Lord Bardo would have used his temper as a back shield, it would have been more comforting to His Highness Bardolant. "

Maybe Lady Shernelia didn't want to use me, Bardo thought.

Things are an internal matter in the Kingdom of Parzam, and even if they were not, they would have made Bardo more burdened with a lot of trouble for Parzam.

I don't even know what that idea is.

How is Prince Baldrant doing?

Should I still go?

Or should I go?

Bardo came to an idea.
