"May I have a word with you, too?"
A man moved to break the stagnation.
The man is Count Laman.
He was Elias' best friend.
“Of course, I welcome it, because I'm not going to deny anything but my opinion.”
Marquis Warwick acknowledged his remarks.
This was because I was confident that Isaac would take on the role.
Besides, even though he was Elias' best friend, he's just one of the countesses now.
If you have to, you can take the other Marquis's house to your side and use your strength to crush them.
I decided that it was possible to deal with it, so I could afford it.
Count Laman came to Isaac like Marquis Warwick.
But instead of standing next to Isaac, I stood in front of him.
Staring at him, Isaac seemed to turn his attention away.
"Lord Enfield, I wanted you to help me..."
I'm sorry.
Isaac turned away from the backwardness.
But Count Laman didn't just blame Isaac.
"However, I couldn't have come a step further."Without Count Brandar's betrayal, Lord Enfield would have saved His Majesty Elias.I can't blame you... "
"If it's easier to denounce, I'll accept whatever I say."
But Count Raman shook his head.
Then he turned to the nobles.
“There's something I have to tell everyone.I didn't mean to tell anyone, but I thought it was time to talk.This has something to do with the Kingdom of Fartyl.ThoniCroft, may I speak to you about Lord Loretta? "
Count Raman called out to the Marquis of Thonicroft, who was sighting in the corner of the room to see the end of the matter.
The Marquis of Thonicroft knows about Loretta.
I was trying to check with him because it was not something I could talk about on my own.
"It's not like I can give permission on my own initiative..."Does that clear up the dishonorable suspicions that have been laid on His Highness Loretta? ”
"It will be that way."
“As far as you're concerned, I don't have time to wait for the Ambassador.However, I have no authority.However, I can say that I didn't ask anything.Even if the content is correct, we will not proactively affirm it. ”
“That answer is enough. Thank you very much."
--No affirmation.
Even though he was able to answer that question, the Count of Laman thanked him.
I was satisfied with Marquis Thonicroft's answer.
― ― If the story is correct, I will not affirm it, but if it is wrong, I will deny it.
That's what I said.
For this reason, I will say nothing if what the Count of Laman is going to say is correct.
If I am wrong, I will deny it.
That meant that I could tell the truth of the story.
Count Raman turns his gaze back to everyone.
"Well, let me first explain why His Highness Loretta was about to be judged for aiming for the throne."What Jason said was not entirely unfounded.His Majesty Elias was thinking of adopting His Royal Highness Loretta. "
The venue flutters.
If that's true, Jason didn't try to bring Loretta to justice because it wasn't true.
Many people thought it was a pretext to start a war, but they said, "Wasn't it premature to turn against Jason?Some people thought.
"But it wasn't brought by His Highness Loretta."It was what King Elias wanted.It was all to welcome you as a foster daughter and marry Lord Enfield! "
"Huh!?"
The gesture of the venue becomes even greater.
But it quickly calmed down.
There were only a few people who knew this information, but many of them were faint-minded.
(That old man, you really don't do anything stupid!)
"Her Highness' great-grandmother was the princess of the Reed Kingdom.Although it is more than three generations apart, I decided to treat it as a quasi-royalty, taking into account the good relationship between the two countries.It was the first step to becoming an adopted daughter.Jason must have thought of the move as a takeover.No, I may have tried to use it for ambition.That's why I want you to understand that His Highness Loretta had nothing to do with it. "
According to Count Laman, the Marquis of Thornycroft was satisfied.
Perhaps the rest of this conversation was going to be as good a course as the Fartyl Kingdom could possibly wish for.
"His Majesty Elias had a high opinion of Lord Enfield."That's why I was thinking of taking His Highness Loretta as my adopted daughter and strengthening her ties with the Reed Royal Family.Trust me to support Jason for the Kingdom of Reed! ”
Count Raman gave a heartfelt expression of regret.
The idea was broken by Jason.
Those who were listening to the story also looked regretful.
"... Actually, that wasn't all.If anything happened to Jason, he thought it was okay to give the throne to Lord Enfield.His Highness Loretta's engagement was to strengthen the blood of the Reed King. ”
Yeah!
Isaac was surprised by this.
Morgan and the others were surprised.
Even those accustomed to killing emotions like them struggled to keep their voices down.
"Was it?" ”Isaac throws his gaze.
But it was a story that Isaac hadn't heard.
Instead of shaking his head, he moves his eyes to the left and right, and answers by showing the agitation of "not listening".
If this is true, I have deliberately made a deceased opponent to give me the throne in a simple way.
As expected, Isaac couldn't hide his upset either.
"Naturally, if anything happens to Jason, His Highness will inherit it."But Lord Elias didn't think so.His Majesty Mills is not king.I want to give you the title of Count so that you can immerse yourself in the arts without being involved in politics.His Majesty thought so. "
The Count of Laman sees the Marquis of Wilmente next.
"His Majesty Elias trusted his brother, Lord Wilmente."I could leave it to Jason, even though they thought it would be okay for me to be Lord Wilmente.But I didn't.When Lord Wilmente assumes the throne, his son Fred becomes the prince.His Majesty did not appraise Fred, who publicly said that he would be "the greatest knight" rather than "the most powerful general".That's why I was given a low priority as a successor. ”
--I was worried about Fred, the heir, rather than the Marquis Wilmente himself.
Fred was a great weakness for the Marquis of Wilmente.
No matter how sweet I guessed it, it didn't seem like I was going to be a big man.
As a man of the Marquis family, I want him to have the dream of becoming a marshal and general.
And yet, Fred wanted to be a knight.
Even though Jason is a knight (......), it's too childish to keep saying that even as a child approaches adulthood.
I couldn't help but be told that it wasn't the king's weapon.
There was also credibility in the words of Count Laman.
"If the family of the Marquis of Well Rod had been chasing after him, I would have even thought of adopting Lord Enfield."As Lord Warwick said earlier, His Majesty Elias was granted the title of Duke, knowing he had the right to inherit.I...... I think we, as friends of Lord Elias, would be best served by Lord Enfield succeeding us to the throne. ”
This us (...) were Elias' friends.
Isaac was surprised by the unexpected.
(I can't believe you thought you could give me the throne...)
But no matter how much Elias says, "You can give Isaac the throne."
This was an act of discretion by Elias' friends, including Count Raman.
- What if the Marquis of Wilmente becomes king?
This doesn't mean what will happen to our relationship with Marquis Warwick.
It is what will happen to the relationship with the Count of Laman.
Until now, Count Layman was a friend of the king.
If the Marquis of Wilmente becomes King, he will lose his position.
The Marquis of Wilmente already has a network, and it is very difficult to enter as a friend or a close friend.
The same applies to royalty in other countries.
For example, Hector, the king of Fartyl, and Maximilian, the prince of the king.
They also inherit the blood of the Reed royal family, a bloodline that can be called royalty.
However, once they become King Reed, it is still difficult to approach them as close associates.
As a royal family, he was blessed with enough close relatives and had no difficulty in networking.
The same was true of the others.
If the Princess of Reed were to marry, the royal family of another country or a house close to it would be chosen.
There is no room to put it anywhere.
In that regard, Isaac was perfect for incorporation.
He has extended his network to elves and dwarves, but his range of interaction has become wider and shallower.
Even though he was still young, only the Marquis of Well Rod would be able to establish a deep relationship.
Even the Marquis of Windsor, his wife's family home, has not yet developed a deep relationship.
- That's why it was a chance.
"Lord Enfield is still young."Suddenly, when the king tells you, you don't know what to do, and you're worried.If we may, what was His Majesty Elias doing?I can tell you what your thoughts were.I think it is the will of His Majesty Elias, and I would like you to take the throne. "
Thanks to his presence in the king's city, the obituary arrived early, and he was able to recover earlier than the others.
So I gathered up friends I knew, and I decided to confront them.
Of course, Count Raman doesn't mourn the death of Elias.
I haven't fully recovered from my grief.
But those who survive still have to live.
But that doesn't make sense in a state where you're dead as an aristocrat.
― ― If possible, I would like to be in power and live with my heart up in the social world.
That's why I was trying to fabricate Elias's words and raise Isaac to be king.
If it hadn't been for Marquis Warwick, Count Raman would have been on the move.
It was unfortunate that he was overtaken.
But instead of defying the current, he was trying to make it stronger.
"If the engagement with His Highness Loretta continues, it will be perfect."However, if Lord Enfield thinks he doesn't want it, I won't force him.Though it was thinning out, the blood of the Reed Royal Family was flowing through your body.I want you to inherit the Royal Family. ”
Count Raman kneels before Isaac.
Isaac was happy, but he was getting scared because he was going too far.
If there was a TV era, the hidden Elias would say, "It's been a big success!I suspected that he would show up with a sign that said,
You don't have to worry about that, but it was still better.
It wasn't just the Count Laman who thought we shouldn't miss this course.
The same is true of the others.
"I want you to listen to me too!!"
Count Laman was followed by Count Lancaster.
He does not go forward and continues to talk on the spot.
"There must have been a circular telling the public not to call Judith a saint!"But I know in the shadows that everyone calls Judith a saint!Some say that the Archbishop is the Apostle of God!Now, I want you to remember that time.There was another miraculous actor! "
Speaking of which, everyone's gaze gathered on Isaac.
"I think Lord Enfield was chosen by God!"What hinders a man chosen by God from taking the throne! "
The Count of Lancaster was also trying to make Isaac king.
Again, this was to get Judith to marry her.
Currently, it is difficult to interrupt with Pamela.
- Then why don't you create a form in which the chosen one marries the saint?
This is natural.
Even in old stories, it is common for heroes and saints to get married.
Isaac takes the throne.
Neither Marquis Windsor nor Marquis Warwick could object to Judith's marriage.
"I'm not going to stick to the throne either.Also, as Warwick was concerned, it would be more reassuring to ask Lord Enfield to call someone from another country who has the right to inherit the throne.I hereby give priority to Lord Enfield over the right to inherit the throne. "
In view of the priority given to succession to the throne, Marquis Wilmente, who is a blood relative, takes precedence.
Therefore, the Marquis of Wilmente publicly declared that he would give up his right of priority.
Now the obstacles to Isaac becoming king are almost gone.
"Even though it's getting thinner, Lord Enfield is also drawing the blood of Royal Reed."There would be no problem with succession to the throne.If you think it's not enough, marry Roland's son or grandson to Lord Enfield's descendants.So you should think that the legitimacy has been preserved. "
And the remaining obstacles were broken by the Marquis of Wilmente.
Marrying Roland's descendants to Isaac's descendants adds to the blood of the Reed Royal Family.
Loretta's name was not given because of the influence that the Marquis of Wilmente would gain in the future.
In the face of the strong antipathy of the Marquis of Warwick, the advantages of being a relative outweighed the advantages of being a throne holder.
So instead of reluctantly handing over the throne to Isaac, he acted to improve his impression.
― ― Isaac is likely to be the king.
Viscount Halifax also rode this course.
"Lord Enfield is not as frightening as the world has said!"I want you to remember Charles, who unilaterally broke up his engagement with Tiffany!I've given Tiffany a chance to get her back, even though she feels angry about the terrible treatment she has done to her cousin!He who has enough power to forgive and give him a chance to salvage! "
This behavior doesn't feel like "I want you to marry Tiffany."
However, it was to dispel the anxiety of the nobles in case their grandchildren became kings.
And Kai reacted to Viscount Halifax's words.
"Viscount Halifax is right!I had a terrible attitude towards Lord Enfield at a young age!But Lord Enfield honored and forgave me for my loyalty!Just because you cut it off once, you're not cold enough to cut it off!Having a heart of mercy should prove that I exist! ”
Kai doesn't have any intention of being close to Isaac if he becomes king.
You can't leave that nobleman alone.
However, this is an act of gratitude.
It was a statement to Isaac, who might become king, to cover him even if he was weak.
Looking at this flow, the lost nobles were in tune.
Particularly, the neutral nobility began to actively support Isaac.
Isaac's financial support was new to my memory.
If the leading aristocrats were supporting Isaac, there was no way he could disagree.
Isaac's voice, “Crown me”, became the same during the tsunami.
I don't think Isaac would feel bad if he was supported by more people than he expected.
Isaac stands before the throne.
And I looked down at the throne.
Everyone thought it was something to sit on.
But Isaac didn't sit down.
All you have to do is stare at the chair and shake your shoulders.
The figure seemed to recall Elias, who was supposed to be sitting there.
