Idle game leads to another world

Chapter 649 Black Humor

Wendy is not yet 20 years old this year. Although everyone admits that the granddaughter of General Lion is indeed very capable and has a good ability as a military strategist in war.

But it is too far-fetched for such a young person to become the prime minister of the kingdom.

Even the youngest prime minister of Laxuriya is almost 30 years old this year. This has been ridiculed by other countries for a long time, thinking that the Laxuriya Demon Kingdom has no talents.

Now it's good, the boomerang hits its head, and we have a prime minister who is less than 20 years old.

Age is not the only condition to determine ability, but age is also an important criterion for judging experience and character.

As the saying goes, a person with no hair on his mouth cannot do things well. This is not to mock young people, but to say that people who are too young lack experience and are not calm enough.

A person's mentality in different stages of adolescence, youth, middle age and old age is completely different. This subtle change is difficult to detect by oneself, but it is very obvious to outsiders.

Can a young prime minister who is less than 20 years old really do this well?

So as soon as the appointment was made, there was a lot of discussion below, but after all, it was at the succession ceremony, so the discussion was kept within the scope of not affecting the ceremony.

Wendy herself knew how much obstacles she would encounter. If she was willing to wait for twenty years and then be appointed as prime minister, no one would say a word. She was indeed too young now.

But she had to force it even though she was young, because Viola was not confident that the prime minister's duties would be handed over to others.

Avarus had actually been destroyed for a year. The original ministers were either killed or surrendered and were now purged by Viola. Although many mature and prudent nobles openly and secretly recommended themselves, Viola was not confident about them.

The Avarus Demon Kingdom was not a monolithic entity. There were originally certain contradictions between the local nobles and the central government, but these contradictions were temporarily put aside in the face of a powerful enemy.

If other local nobles were appointed casually, the power of the local nobles would be increased, which would be detrimental to domestic stability.

So after repeated consideration, Wendy was chosen.

And there are reasons for choosing her. In addition to her ability to do the job, Wendy's hometown, Qihang City, has also made the most efforts in restoring the country.

Viola originally had only 2,000 soldiers, but now it has snowballed into tens of thousands, which is inseparable from the support of Qihang City. Moreover, before conquering Kaimen City, the daily consumption of Viola's army was also borne by Qihang City.

It is really unreasonable not to reward such a great contribution.

Wendy's canonization caused a lot of discussion, but apart from that, no one talked about the canonization of others.

For example, Greta, the daughter of Count Fran, continued to control Kaimen City.

According to the laws of the kingdom, nobles who hold the position of the lord of a city must have a title, so she was given an additional lordship.

For example, Nimia was also given a lordship due to her outstanding performance.

Shelley, one of the guards knights, was named the defender of the Silver City and was also given a non-hereditary title, etc.

Everyone had expected this kind of small matter of conferring titles. It didn't matter what Viola did, as long as it didn't affect their own interests.

Local nobles were like this. As long as Viola didn't reduce the power of the vassal, they would never care who Viola appointed as the prime minister.

This part didn't cause any more waves. The long letter of appointment was read from beginning to end. As expected, the most shocking thing was that Wendy became the prime minister.

This order was not randomly arranged, nor was it rewarded according to the size of the merit.

People like to compromise, and this is the same everywhere. With the precedent of Wendy being the prime minister, no one would pay attention to the next enthronement even if it was a little outrageous.

In any case, after the list was read, the rewarding part was over.

According to the process, everyone just had to kneel on one knee to swear allegiance, and the main part of the ceremony was over. The rest was the cocktail party.

But at this time, Viola suddenly stood up from the throne.

This scene that did not conform to the regulations made many people look at each other in surprise.

Then Viola dropped another bombshell.

"I, Avarus, have never had a female demon king, even now. I declare that I will temporarily refuse to become a demon king, and instead control the country as a regent."

This sentence completely made everyone unable to hold back. What are you doing? You are almost shaking. Why are you taking off your pants to fart?

Not only in Avarus, but in the entire demon realm, there is actually no law that prohibits women from inheriting the throne or noble titles.

This is because the lifespan of demons is about 150 years, which is much longer than that of humans, but the aging rate is actually similar.

The disadvantage of a long lifespan is that it is not easy to have children.

That's why there is no rule that only male heirs are allowed. After all, having children is enough, so there is no time to care about gender.

The Demon Kingdom of Avarus has indeed never had a female demon king, but for example, the Demon Kingdom of Oswaya has a female demon king now, so there is no problem.

Viola's behavior made everyone very confused.

On second thought, the so-called regent becoming a real demon king was just a matter of Viola's words. Her actions clearly sent a signal.

I respect tradition.

The nobles who have not surrendered and are still resisting when being invaded are basically conservatives. Sending this signal is quite beneficial to the conservatives.

Perhaps Viola said this for the sake of domestic stability?

These nobles would certainly get this result if they thought from the perspective of nobles. But in fact, they didn't know that Viola did this purely to make it easier for her to quit at any time...

For example, in the future, when Orde gets married and has children, she can directly pass the throne to the children as the regent, saving herself trouble.

In essence, Viola is still the carefree princess under the halo of her father and brother. Even if she has to shoulder the heavy responsibility now, the pure land in her heart is still preserved, but it can only be preserved in this way.

Although she didn't quite understand what Viola was doing, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw a warm light shining in the empty space above her head, and a large piece of rose petals emerged from the air and fell.

Viola quickly took advantage of the situation and said that the king of demons also agreed with her decision, so he blessed her with a miracle.

It is a foregone conclusion that the Demon King Cult will become the mainstream religion, and the nobles will not be ignorant. Regardless of whether they believe it or not, they certainly cannot reveal it.

So they all chanted words of praise to the Demon King, and suppressed the commotion.

Besides, there were outsiders at the ceremony, and if they panicked, it would be a disgrace to the country.

In theory, the new Demon King would invite envoys from allied countries to watch the ceremony, but Avarus's ally, the Oswaya Demon Kingdom, was too far away to notify.

And the two who happened to be in Avarus became foreign guests to watch the ceremony.

One was an envoy sent by Laxuriya. After learning that Viola had taken over the Silver City, the other party immediately stated that he would return all the wealth kept from Avarus.

Listen to what he said, keep it.

It means that I am afraid that it will be taken away by others, so I will help you hold it first, and now that you are back, I will return it to you.

The other one was the envoy of the Enwei Demon Kingdom who came to discuss the withdrawal of troops. It was a coincidence, so naturally he had to come to watch the ceremony.

It is very darkly humorous that these two countries broke through the Avarus Demon Kingdom a year ago. Now that the new Demon King has taken the throne, their envoys are actually watching the ceremony. It is somewhat darkly humorous.

And this kind of humor is actually an important background of history.

Regardless of whether it is dark or not, just tell me whether it is humorous or not.

I had something urgent to do in the morning, so I updated late. Two chapters in the afternoon will be as usual_(:з」∠)_
