Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.
Chapter 542 Shelved
As Sharon's voice fell, heated discussions rang out again in the banquet hall.
Some people say that Sharon should become the new king and lead the Kingdom of Alduin to continue moving forward. After all, this is the law.
However, some people have raised objections.
Now that we are facing powerful enemies like the Kingdom of Theresia and foreign races, we should let a strong person ascend the throne so that we can create a great empire.
Although Count Iben is very powerful, he is far inferior to Ronin.
So this group of people suggested that Blanche should take over the throne, and let Ronin be the regent to lead the nobles to conquer the world.
As the parties involved, Sharon and Blanche did not express their opinions. Both of them were not very interested in the king, but they both supported their men's ability to become regents.
They left the choice to Iben and Ronin, but the two did not express their opinions.
Ibn listened to the discussions around him. In recent days, he had visited many nobles to fight for benefits for Sharon and himself.
The Torrance family paid a lot to gain supporters.
On the other hand, Roning did not move, and even though Lu Lans took his place, it was said that he did not pay any price.
Ibn did this not because he really wanted to fight for the throne.
He still maintained the same attitude as before. As long as Roning wanted to fight, he would give in and use this to gain as much benefit as possible for the Tolansi family.
Anyway, the dispute is based on the laws of the kingdom, so Roning would not vent his anger on them.
The argument lasted for a long time, but gradually, a third voice emerged:
At this moment, His Majesty had just passed away, and enemies were lurking outside. The top priority for the nobles of the Kingdom of Alduin was to resolve the external enemies and internal chaos instead of discussing who would succeed the king.
As soon as Luo Ning heard it, he knew that this message was spread by Lu Lans, who asked people who supported the Wushan family to raise it at the nobles' meeting.
However, this voice was soon questioned - without a king, who would unify different opinions? Without a supreme decision-maker, who would settle the differences?
After a while, the elderly Duke of Varghese rubbed his eyebrows and slapped the table. The bang bang bang sounds stopped the chaotic sounds.
"It's no use for everyone to keep arguing like this. Anyway, we either support Sharon or Blanche. I think we should let them both express their stance, right?"
As he spoke, he seemed to remember that the two men relied on Ibn and Ronin, and said, "Or let Ibn and Ronin speak for your wives?"
Vargis wants to support Roning, but Rulans hasn't expressed his opinion yet?
In addition to Ronin's unique statement during Garrett's trial, he decided to listen to the two of them first.
Sharon nodded to Iben, who stood up and bowed.
"Thank you all for your support for Sharon. As the eldest daughter of His Majesty, she is legally the first to inherit the throne."
Iben was the first to admit this, but then he changed the subject: "But for the future of the kingdom, I think some people's opinions are reasonable. The legendary Duke Ronin can lead us further."
He looked at Ronin and said, "So, why don't we listen to Ronin's opinion first?"
Ibn treated Ronin very carefully. It was impossible for him to offend Ronin completely like Garrett did.
Although his current action passed the ball to Roning, it was also a helpless move due to his dilemma.
Roning smiled slightly.
Ibn not only cited the law and acknowledged Sharon's rationality, but also gave Ronin a way out, so that the latter would have a way out no matter what.
But Luo Ning didn't want to continue talking along with what the other party said.
"I am grateful to many people for their support for Blanche and their recognition of me. However, neither Blanche nor I am interested in the throne of the Kingdom of Alduin."
As soon as this was said, many people were immediately surprised.
Even Ibn was a little stunned. What did this mean? Why did Roning say this in public? Could it be that he really wanted Sharon to ascend the throne?
His heart couldn't help but beat fast, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that I really have to be the regent?"
Luo Ning took out a piece of paper and said slowly:
"When His Majesty Bruno appointed me the Duke of Conqueror in the Mist City, he asked me privately to lead the nobles of the Kingdom of Alduin to conquer Tricia and establish a great empire belonging to Alduin."
"At the same time, in return, he allowed me to choose a territory and establish my own kingdom after I conquer Dragon City. This is the contract I signed with His Majesty."
As he said this, he handed the paper in his hand to Vargis who was standing beside him.
The latter was surprised because this matter was a private matter between Ronin and Bruno and no outsiders knew about it.
Vargis took it and read it, nodding his head: "This is indeed the handwriting of His Majesty, and it has both of his names signed, his fingerprints pressed, and his seal stamped on it!"
As he spoke, he handed the contract paper to Gu Shan beside him, and then passed it on in a row.
At this moment, many people's expressions became excited.
So Luo Ning is going out to work on his own?
Iben took the contract and looked at the familiar handwriting on it, feeling that the paper was a little prickly.
It is not difficult to see from this contract that Ronin wants to become king himself.
In other words, he is interested in the throne.
When Bruno was there, the other party was able to obey Bruno's demolition orders for many reasons.
But if Bruno is replaced by Sharon, will the other party still obey orders?
Moreover, if the other party became king at that time, what would be the relationship between his country and Alduin?
In Ibn's opinion, Ronin would never submit to the throne of king, let alone hand over all the conquered enemy territories to Sharon.
The conflict between the two sides was entirely foreseeable.
By then, with Ronin's prestige as the one who led the nobles to fight, plus his strength, he and Sharon would definitely not be able to compete.
The thought flashed through his mind like lightning, and he said solemnly:
"Your Majesty's last wish is to destroy the Kingdom of Tricia and establish a new empire on the continent of Orlant."
"I think what some nobles just said is right. It is not appropriate for us to discuss who will ascend the throne before fulfilling His Majesty's last wish."
Roning was a little surprised. He and Lulans were originally planning to bring up this topic, but they didn't expect that Iben would take the lead.
After saying this, Iben passed the contract to the next person.
"I think we should inherit the will of the previous king and nominate Ronin as the noble commander. He should lead us to conquer the Kingdom of Tricia and eliminate all enemies. Then we can select the most suitable person to succeed the king based on military achievements, prestige, ability and other factors."
He paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "Perhaps at that time he should be called 'The Great Emperor'?"
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised by Iben's statement.
Military achievements, prestige, and ability, which of these three standards is not tailor-made for Roning?
Who can compare with the commander-in-chief of the noble coalition and the strongest man?
Ibn's statement was tantamount to directly withdrawing from the fight for the throne, and his withdrawal was very decent.
Luo Ning couldn't help but look up to the other party.
Ibn was able to resist the temptation of power in such a short time and make a quick decision. He is indeed a remarkable person.
If the difference in their strength was not so great, there would probably be a fierce battle between them.
