I really can't control myself

Linton's words made the three people in front of him look at him in confusion again. Can they still... play like this? The one who reacted particularly loudly was Gasein. At first, he thought Linton meant to attack the eldest princess, but it turned out that he was really the target.

"No, can you say something humane?" Gasein couldn't help but said.

"What I said is very human. After all, you are not married to her..."

"Is she married?" Gasan shouted.

"You don't have to marry me..." Linton said, spreading his hands.

"It's not a question of whether it's okay or not, but whether it's okay to be married already?" Garsain said.

"That's what you said, so it's just disgusting." Linton said.

"I didn't!" Garsain said immediately.

"So you agreed?" Linton asked.

"No..." Gasein was surrounded by Linton.

"Um...you want to be the emperor?" Princess Yalan suddenly intervened and asked. Princess Yalan felt a little strange. Linton didn't seem to want to be the emperor. During the Duke of Rennes' coup, Linton actually had the opportunity to become the emperor, or to control the emperor, but Linton Dun didn't do that, but now he seemed to suddenly have this intention, which she felt was a bit sudden.

"I don't want to be the emperor, but if the emperor is one of his own, it will be more convenient to do some things." Linton said. It is true that Linton has changed some of his ideas now, partly for his own considerations. First of all, of course, it is about his own tasks. After Garsain became the Duke, Linton tried it and it turned out to be more convenient when doing construction tasks. A lot. This is one aspect. On the other hand, tasks such as propaganda will be much more convenient after having absolute political rights.

I will definitely have many tasks in this area in the future. In the best case scenario, if my wife or even Garsain can become the emperor, then the efficiency of doing things will definitely be much higher than if my father-in-law becomes the emperor.

As for why I didn’t do that before, it was one moment and another. The main reason is that the Meloway family did not have the status of duke before. They were awarded the title of duke after resolving the rebellion in Rennes. If the previous status really controlled the emperor, there would be many people who coveted it. If you, a small noble, can control the emperor, then so can they. If we just do this at that time, most of our energy will probably be diverted to counterinsurgency and internal control. Will there be any time for any construction?

Although it has only been a few months now, the Meloway family is completely different. With the status of a duke and a wealthy fiefdom, Gasein has established a firm foothold in the army, and they have also established relations with the royal family. Marriage, so no matter how you look at it, the current Meloway family is qualified to aspire to the top.

What's more, at that time, Linton didn't know that there was such a task as module promotion. He just thought that if he was engaged in construction, it would be enough to have a few cities under his control. But it is different now. Influence has now become a more important resource. , Linton can't rely on the Light Church for help every time. Although he has a good relationship with the church now, he is just lying to them after all. It is better to ask for help than to ask for help from others. Of course, the best way is to do it yourself.

What makes Linton dissatisfied with the current emperor Wigley is that he is not so easy to control. Linton is too lazy to spend time fighting for power with his father-in-law. On the other hand, this guy is too cowardly. . Linton's goal is to expand his influence. The influence of the Yilan Holy Empire alone is not enough to satisfy his appetite. However, the emperor now has such a huge advantage and has to hesitate for a long time to declare war. He wants to allow him to expand. It would be too difficult to expand the territory of the Holy Empire of Elan.

In short, after careful consideration, Linton thought it would be better to try to replace one of his own, but what he proposed before was just an idea. After all, he didn't really want to be the emperor, and he didn't have time to govern the country. This was not to encourage Gasein. Rebellion, I thought about pushing him up before. But I didn't expect that things have changed a little now. The sudden accident of the crown prince made Linton and the others seem to have a more formal way to get to the top. Now that they have reached this point, they feel that opportunities have been thrown in front of them. Linton's attitude is natural It has also changed from "try it" to "get it".

"But..." After hearing Linton's words, Princess Yalan here naturally showed an embarrassed expression. That is indeed embarrassing. The current emperor is his father, and the one who just said that he wanted to rebel was her husband. Can she not be embarrassed? ?

"The current situation is not a question of whether we want to stop or not." Linton said, "Since I married Yalan, our Meloway family has automatically been labeled as the third princess, which means that we have automatically become the third princess." Come on, if we don’t consider this, wouldn’t the forces behind Princess Fulla also consider it?”

When he said this, Gaseon became serious. Yes, since he became a duke, his political quality has gotten better and better, so he immediately understood what Linton meant. After all, Princess Fulla is married to someone, and that person is very likely to become the next queen, so her husband's family will naturally think the same way as they do. Once she really ascends the throne, her husband's family will become The relatives are powerful.

The political struggle is very cruel. As another candidate for the throne, if the third princess Yalan fails in the struggle, then the Meloway family who will side with the third princess will be in danger. Even if the eldest princess doesn't want to take action, what about her husband's family? Even if the other party really doesn't take action, the Meloway family will have no choice but to behave with their tail between their legs.

Of course, Garsain cannot accept this result. His loyalty to the family is much higher than that of Linton. For the development of the family, he did not easily agree to marry a Narcisse family member whom he had never met before. A woman? So after Linton's prompting, he finally understood that Linton and Yalan's marriage had automatically brought them into the game, and now it wasn't a question of whether to care or not.

"But..." Yalan wanted to say something else, but before she could speak, Princess Jorah directly interrupted her.

"Don't say anything." Princess Jorah said seriously, "This matter really needs to be considered in advance."

"Oh?" Linton was stunned for a moment, seeing that Princess Jorah seemed to be supporting him?

"The eldest sister's husband's family is the Noble family. As far as I know, the Duke of Noble has always had this ambition." Princess Jorah said, "Linton is right. Even if the eldest sister doesn't think so, but Noble The Noble family must be making preparations now, and they will not give up such an opportunity. I even suspect... that the big brother's matter was done by the Noble family. "

Jorah's suspicion is of course normal. In the current situation, if something happens to the crown prince, the two princesses who benefit the most are naturally Fula and Yalan. Originally, they had nothing to do with the throne, but now they suddenly become the heirs. Can they Is it suspicious? And Fulla also knew that her eldest brother Damian was a good horseman. He suddenly fell off his horse, which sounded strange. Now she really suspected that it was Duke Noble's doing.

"Huh?" Princess Yalan here was stunned.

Since Princess Fulla's husband's family has already been mentioned, Linton also asked about the situation of the Noble family. The Noble family is a large family in the Holy Empire of Yilan, and it can also be said to be the second largest family in politics besides the royal family.

Duke Nobley was one of the four dukes in the empire before, and he was also a duke married to the royal family. Duke Nobley's eldest son is the husband of the eldest princess Furla. Even among the dukes, Duke Nobley's status is They are all different from the other three dukes.

"You may not know that when the eldest sister married into the Noble family, it was actually a way of compromise." Princess Jorah said.

"Compromise?" Princess Ya'an really didn't know about this and asked strangely.

Princess Jorah immediately continued to explain. The time was about thirteen years ago, when Princess Jorah was six years old. At that time, Princess Jorah and the eldest princess Fulla were very good sisters. Princess Arran was clinging to Jorah all day long, and Jorah was clinging to her all day long. Princess Fulla. However, one day, Princess Fulla suddenly cried and said goodbye to Jorah, saying that she was getting married. At that time, Princess Jorah didn't know what happened. She just remembered that she cried very sadly, but she had grown up a little. She inquired about what happened at that time and learned about the situation.

It turned out that Emperor Wigley had only ascended the throne not long ago. Although he was the emperor of the empire, his position was not secure. At that time, several dukes in the empire jointly put pressure on the new emperor, probably because they wanted the new emperor to guarantee their status. Emperor Wigley had to appease several dukes, so he entered into a marriage alliance with Duke Norbury and married off Princess Fulla, who was only 10 years old at the time.

The emperor's choice to marry the princess was actually very obvious, which was to keep the eldest son of Duke Noble in the imperial capital legally. Because the princess is not allowed to marry far away, after the two get married, the son of Duke Norbury can only live in the duke's palace in the imperial capital. This is equivalent to detaining the duke's legitimate son in the imperial capital, which is very difficult for both parties. That's a good thing. It can also be seen from here that Duke Nobre is indeed a threat, otherwise the emperor would not choose this method to stabilize the opponent.

The reason why Princess Jorah now suspects that Duke Nobre is responsible for Damian's matter was analyzed after hearing about the current situation in the empire from Garsain last night. From Princess Jorah's point of view, the current situation in the empire has changed a lot, and Duke Nobrey may have started to take risks because he felt threatened.
