Chapter 539 Ibn's Ambition

When Iben left Shuangfengling, he never expected that Golden Feather City would be in such a chaotic situation.

However, after all, he had been a border count for many years, and he quickly realized the opportunity.

Garrett has committed such a serious crime and has no chance of ascending to the throne again. Even if there is support, the nobles headed by Ronin will definitely oppose it.

He was keenly aware of the opportunity.

Without Garrett, Ference also lost his qualifications, and the throne would actually fall into the hands of his wife.

The Torrance family actually has a queen?

With his ability to challenge the Knights of the Sun, plus the fact that he has been hanging out on the border for so many years and has a very good relationship with famous and capable nobles such as Gu Shan, it is not a problem to support Sharon to rise to power.

But he also cared about Luo Ning's attitude.

Even though Wubei Territory had just developed a few years ago, and Moonlight Valley was in a state of complete waste, Luo Ning was simply too strong.

Although the Silver Moon Knights were no match for the Sun, as long as there were more of them, the Sun Knights would not dare to mess around.

But legend is different.

Luo Ning was surrounded and suppressed this time, and destroying his opponents was the second priority. The key was that he was unscathed and did not use his full strength at all.

Such a person cannot be easily offended. If he is pushed into a hurry and the other party attempts an assassination, he will not be able to bear it at all.

If you have a destiny to fight for the throne, you must first have a destiny to sit firmly.

That's why he wanted to see Luo Ning's attitude.

If the other party bluntly wants to take the throne of the king and there is no room for negotiation, then he will do the next best thing and seek greater benefits for the Torrance family.

Apart from anything else, dukedom and territory are the minimum, right?

Of course, if Luo Ning had no intention of letting Blanche come out to fight for the throne, Sharon would accept it.

But no matter what, abolishing Garrett's inheritance rights is the first step.

Luo Ning nodded slightly, "From a personal point of view, I agree with your statement. However, the specific situation must be judged by Texas and other kingdom legal personnel and nobles."

He said: "Arsenault and the others have already set a date. The 19th and 20th will be His Majesty's funeral, and then there will be a meeting of nobles. We can discuss it at the meeting."

Iben smiled, he knew that although Luo Ning's statement was cautious, it supported his point of view, and presumably many nobles would do the same.

This first step was successfully passed.

"If Garrett is punished and has no right to accept the throne, and the same is true for Ferens, then according to the laws of the kingdom, the inheritance of the throne will fall into the hands of my wife Sharon."

At this point, he changed his subject: "It's just that in these years, there has never been a case where a daughter has inherited the throne, so this part of the law is not perfect. Sharon can, her sister, your wife Blanche Also has inheritance rights.”

Luo Ning smiled, "This is a novel statement... Just say what you want to say?"

Iben said bluntly: "Luoning, I am saying all this mainly because I want you to understand. Although Garrett and I have been together at the border for many years, there is no enmity between you and me, nor is it a competitive relationship."

He paused and continued: "If you need the throne, then Sharon and I will automatically give way and support you. Of course, as a supporter, I hope that the Torrance family can replace Fehlensburg's current position and become And big nobles like Osan and Jistana.”

Iben said very directly that he could support Blanche to take the throne, but after the event, Iben would become a duke, and his territory would be the current Principality of Firensburg.

This guy is ambitious. If Luo Ning is not too strong, this guy will definitely directly support Sharon to ascend to the throne and become the new king.

But it is also undeniable that this guy immediately gave up his pursuit of the throne when he saw the potential risks, and he was also very courageous.

However, Luo Ning did not want a new duke to appear, let alone have such a large fiefdom.

As mentioned before, he can ennoble his subordinates as nobles, but the rights of the nobles need to be restricted, not like they are now.

"I've asked Blanche and she's not interested in the throne."

Luo Ning shook his head, "She just wants to live a quiet life."

Iben's heart was pounding, but he quickly realized, "Then what you are thinking is..."

"Although His Majesty Bruno has died, as the Guardian Knight of the Kingdom and the Duke of Conquerors, I will still resolutely implement his legacy."

Luo Ning stood up and said with a smile: "Let's wait until the day of the noble meeting to discuss the details. I will put forward my opinions."

After saying this, he nodded and returned to the room.

Iben frowned, secretly thinking about what Luoning would be thinking.

As time passed, more and more nobles came to Golden Feather City. After paying their respects to His Majesty's ice coffin, they came to the Wushan family's manor to visit Garret.

Fortunately, the people responsible for guarding Garrett come from various families, and outsiders will not think that Garrett went crazy because of Ronin's tactics.

During this period, Lulans was walking around. Many nobles were selling his face, but they were selling Luo Ning's face even more.

Everyone outside knew that what the Thunder Marquis said was probably what Luo Ning meant.

In addition to Wushan Manor, the manor where Iben is located is also visited by nobles of all sizes.

According to the laws of the kingdom, Sharon will be the next king.

If Sharon persists, there is no reason for Luo Ning to stop her unless he kills her.

But Ronin is a legendary strongman after all, and he wants to deal with Garrett for similar charges, so he will not be shameless and follow Garrett's path.

The capital was in turmoil, and the same was true for Ferensburg and the Principality of Vera.

One of their lords was imprisoned and faced trial, and the other was killed directly, but no one dared to speak for them. The families of both knew what this meant.

They had only one choice, either to accept cleansing and punishment, become lowly slaves or even be killed directly, or to surrender to the enemy and seek asylum.

At this time, His Majesty Taro's envoys gave them a better choice-all surrender to the enemy.

While transferring family members and property, they began to organize troops to attack the Principality of Jistana, Wushan Territory, and Zilei Territory respectively.

Soon, His Majesty Bruno's funeral was held as scheduled.

Unlike the last funeral of Jesus, the solemnity, solemnity and sadness of this funeral enveloped the entire Golden Feather City.

The flags in various places in the Golden Feather Palace were low, and every inch of air carried the remembrance of Alduin V.

Bruno was in office for 24 years, saving the decline of defeat more than 30 years ago, maintaining the balance of all parties, and bringing good development to the Kingdom of Alduin.

Princess Sharon read the eulogy, and the nobles, dressed in dark dresses and with solemn faces, paid their last respects to the deceased Majesty Bruno.

After two days of funeral, the second thing that everyone paid attention to was the noble meeting.

The Alduin Hall was destroyed and it was impossible to repair it in a short time.

The meeting was held in the banquet hall of the palace.

Due to the full notification, almost all the direct vassals of the kingdom were present, and there were at least more than 200 people in the banquet hall.

Of course, at least half of them were honorary nobles and had no actual territory.

However, their power cannot be ignored because of this.

They don't want territory, not because the king doesn't confer it, but because they don't want to.

For example, the honorary earl of Gushan in Red Pine Castle, as long as he is willing, will the king not give him a fief?

It can only be said that everyone has different ambitions and preferences.

The bell of the noble meeting rang melodiously, echoing in every corner of the banquet hall, as if it was the beginning of the upcoming game of power.

Sharon took Ibn's hand and walked slowly into the hall.

As Bruno's eldest daughter, although she has married, her status is very high in the current environment.

The host of this noble meeting is also Princess Sharon.

After them, Blanche also entered the hall with Ronin's hand. Compared with Sharon's luxury and maturity, the little princess has a gentle temperament and is a little immature.

But everyone knows that although Blanche is young, she is about to become a mother.

"Everyone."

Sharon's voice echoed in the hall, clear and powerful.

"Today we gather here not only to commemorate His Majesty Bruno, but also for the future of the kingdom. Although His Majesty has passed away, we must not let his kingdom decline with him!"

Her voice was slightly sad and hoarse, "And the first thing is to judge the executioner who killed His Majesty, the former crown prince, my brother... Garrett!"

She sat down as if she had no strength to say here, "Next, please ask Arsenault, Broll, Ronin and others to tell what happened that day." (End of this chapter)
