When Ibn left Shuangfengling, he had never expected that Jinyu City would be in such a chaotic situation as it is now.

However, he had been a border earl for many years and soon realized the opportunity.

Garrett has committed such a serious crime that he has no chance of ascending the throne again. Even if someone supports him, the nobles led by Ronin will definitely oppose it.

He was keenly aware of the opportunity.

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

The Tolansi family actually has a queen?

With his strength to challenge the Knight of the Prideful Sun, and with the fact that he had been living on the border for so many years and had very good relationships with famous and powerful nobles such as Gu Shan, it should not be a problem for him to support Sharon to take the throne.

But he also cared about Roning's attitude.

Even though Wubei Territory has only been developed for a few years and Moonlight Valley is still in a stage of reconstruction, Roning is too strong.

Although the Silver Moon Knights were no match for the Prideful Sun Knights, as long as they had more numbers, the Prideful Sun Knights would not dare to act recklessly.

But legends are different.

The fact that Roning was surrounded and annihilated this time was secondary. The key point was that he was unharmed and did not use his full strength at all.

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

If you want to fight for the throne, you must first have the life to sit firmly on it.

That's why he wanted to see Roning's attitude.

If the other party directly stated that he wanted the throne and there was no room for negotiation, then he would settle for the second best and seek greater benefits for the Torance family.

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

Of course, if Roning had no intention of letting Blanche fight for the throne, Sharon would accept it with a smile.

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

Roning nodded slightly. "From my personal point of view, I agree with you. However, the specific situation still needs to be judged by the legal personnel and nobles of the kingdom such as Texas."

He said, "Arsenault and the others have already set a date. The 19th and 20th are for His Majesty's funeral, and after that there will be a noble meeting. We can discuss it at the meeting."

Ibn smiled. He knew that although Ronin's statement was cautious, he supported his point of view, and he believed that many nobles would do the same.

This first step was successfully completed.

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

At this point, he changed the subject and said, "It's just that in all these years, there has never been a case of a daughter inheriting the throne, so this part of the law is not perfect. Sharon can, and her sister, your wife Blanche, also has the right of inheritance."

Luo Ning smiled and said, "That's a novel way of saying it... Just tell me what you want to say."

Ibn said bluntly: "Ronin, I have said so much mainly to make you understand. Although Garrett and I have lived together on the border for many years, there is no hatred between you and me, nor is there a competitive relationship."

He paused and continued, "If you need the throne, Sharon and I will automatically give way and support you. Of course, as a supporter, I hope that the Tolansi family can replace Ferensburg's current position and become a great noble family like Wushan and Jistana."

Iben said it very directly. He could support Blanche to take the throne, but after that, he, Iben, would become a duke, and his territory would be the present-day Duchy of Ferensburg.

This guy is ambitious. If Roning wasn't too strong, he would definitely support Sharon to take the throne and become the new king.

However, it is also undeniable that this guy immediately gave up his ambition for the throne when he saw the potential risks, which is also very courageous.

However, Roning did not want a new duke to appear, and even less did he want him to have such a large fiefdom.

It has been mentioned before that he can ennoble his subordinates, but the rights of the nobles need to be restricted, not like they are now.

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

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

Ibn's heart was pounding, but he quickly realized, "So what you're thinking is..."

"Although His Majesty Bruno has passed away, as the Kingdom's Guardian Knight and Conqueror Duke appointed by him, I will still resolutely carry out his will."

Luo Ning stood up and said with a smile: "As for the details, let's wait until the day of the nobles' meeting. I will put forward my opinions."

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

Iben frowned, secretly wondering what Ronin would be thinking.

As time went by, more and more nobles came to Jinyu City. After paying their respects to His Majesty's ice coffin, they came to the Wushan family's manor to visit Garrett.

Fortunately, the people responsible for guarding Garrett come from various families, and outsiders would not think that Garrett's madness was caused by Ronin.

During this period, Lulans was traveling around, and many nobles gave him face, but they gave Roning face even more.

Everyone outside knew that what Marquis Thunder said was most likely what Roning meant.

In addition to Wushan Manor, Iben's manor was also visited by nobles of all sizes.

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

If Sharon insisted, Roning would have no reason to stop her unless he killed her.

But Roning is a legendary warrior after all, and he wants to punish Garrett on similar charges, so he won't be so shameless as to 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, while the other was killed directly, but no one dared to speak for him. The families of both knew what this meant.

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

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

While transferring family members and property, he began to organize troops to launch attacks on the Principality of Jistana, Wushan Territory, and Zilei Territory.

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

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

Flags hung low across the Golden Feather Palace, and every inch of the air carried the memory of Alduin V.

Bruno was in office for twenty-four years. He saved the kingdom from defeat more than thirty years ago, maintained the balance among all parties, and brought good development to the Kingdom of Alduin.

The eldest princess Sharon read the eulogy, and the nobles dressed in dark gowns and with solemn expressions paid their final respects to the deceased Majesty Bruno.

Two days after the funeral, the second thing that attracted everyone's attention was the noble assembly.

The Temple of Alduin was destroyed and it is impossible to repair it in a short time.

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

As the notification was in place, almost all of the kingdom's direct vassals were present, with at least two hundred people in the banquet hall.

Of course, at least half of them are honorary nobles and have no actual territories.

However, this does not mean that their power can be ignored.

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

For example, the Honorary Earl of Ancient Mountain in Red Pine Castle, would the king not give him a fiefdom as long as he wanted?

All I can say is that everyone has different aspirations and preferences.

The bells of the noble assembly rang melodiously, echoing in every corner of the banquet hall, as if marking the beginning of the upcoming game of power.

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

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

The host of this noble assembly is also Princess Sharon.

After them, Blanche also entered the hall holding Roning's hand. Compared to Sharon's elegance and maturity, the little princess was gentle and 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.

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

Her voice was slightly sad and hoarse. "And the first thing to do is to try the executioner who killed your majesty, the former crown prince, my brother... Garrett!"

She seemed to have no strength left when she said this and sat down. "Next, please ask Arsenault, Broll, Rhonin and others to recount what happened that day."
