Part-time BOSS

Murphy soon arrived at the door of the King's Hall, which is also the most majestic building in the castle.

Looking up at the towering tower, Murphy was about to go in when the narrator's voice suddenly sounded in his ears again.

[Narrator: Looking at the magnificent palace and castle in front of him, Prince Aidan suddenly realized that power was what he really wanted to pursue in his life.

The hard training in his youth, the rigorous training of the Knights of the North Wind, and his fight against the evil black dragon for the sake of the kingdom.

All this is just the price that must be paid on the road to power.

Why can that old guy Aiden sit on the throne of the palace, while he has to fight to the death to defend this country.

Things that he had taken for granted now seemed so unreasonable.

Power, only power is the key to everything - a voice whispered to him in his heart.

No matter what the cost, he will take this power into his own hands, and it all starts with becoming the King of Alterac. 】

This... Mo Feixin said that there are so many narration scenes, but this thing shouldn't be sprayed casually. Could something really happen next?

Murphy didn't hesitate for too long, and quickly walked down the steps into the King's Hall. On the king's throne, Aiden Perenold was handling the affairs of the kingdom. He raised his head slightly when he saw Murphy walking in.

Murphy held his sword with both hands, knelt down on one knee, and performed a standard knightly salute.

Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Father, I have completed the mission you gave me and killed the evil black dragon that was seeking to wreak havoc on our land. Now I am here to deliver the mission to you."

Aiden Perenold (King of Alterac): "Well, well done my son, your third brother, ninth brother, and twenty-seventh brother can finally rest in peace."

[System prompt: Because you have completed a weekly task, King Aiden Perenold's favorability towards you has increased by 3 points. 】

It’s only 3 points. Mo Fei is a little speechless. It seems that it’s really difficult to increase the favorability level. Hunting the black dragon should be considered the most difficult task. It only gives 3 points of favorability. If it’s something relatively simple, The tasks, such as clearing out bandits and so on, are probably only increased by 1 or 2 points at most. It seems that this cheap dad is really hard to fool.

Aiden Perenold: "By the way, did you bring back the head of the black dragon?"

This... halo, there are even quest items.

Mo Feixin said it was not good. Where can I get this thing? I can't just cut off my own head and hand it over.

The system is also really good, the plot is all the same and there are no quest items.

Murphy complained in his heart without changing his expression.

Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "I fought with the black dragon for three hundred rounds, from the foot of the mountain to the top of Dragon Roar Peak. All my loyal and brave men died in the battle, not even the adventurers. As soon as I survived, I jumped down from the mountain peak at the last moment, stabbed the black dragon in the heart with a sword in mid-air, and watched it fall from the top of the mountain into the cliff, and was buried in the snow under the cliff.

I used my last bit of strength to grab the edge of the cliff and climb up. Because the path was too steep, I couldn't cut off the monster's head. "

King Ayden was dumbfounded and believed the story told by Murphy, "That's it, that's it - that's not your fault. Your bravery has exceeded my expectations. Well done my child, you deserve it." He is a descendant of the Perenold family!

Your bravery must be rewarded - by the way, now that you have reached adulthood, it is time to have your own fief. I intend to use Pinewood Town near Raven City as your fief. What do you think? "

[System prompt: Due to your wonderful description of the battle, King Aiden's favorability towards you has increased by 2 points. 】

[System prompt: King Aiden intends to grant you the former Pinewood Village as a fiefdom. (If you refuse to accept the offer, there will be no new offers in a short period of time.) Do you want to accept it? Yes/No. 】

Murphy was secretly happy. It seemed that he had chosen the right skill for the 'Master of Bluffing' feat. It could actually increase his favorability and directly open the fiefdom. The rewards were pretty good.

Regardless of whether you are a prince, you can theoretically have your own fiefdom, but in fact, less than half of them can actually get into the fiefdom. There is no way, there are too many princes in Alterac, and the land of Alterac The population is quite small, and most of it is still in the hands of various nobles. The population of the land directly under the royal family is less than one-third of the entire kingdom.

This is also used to collect taxes and support the kingdom's army and officials.

The land that can be divided up is extremely limited. If there are only a few princes, not to mention villages, even castles may be able to get it.

But now that there are more than thirty princes, there is nothing to do. One carrot and one pit. The princes in front have all divided their territory, and the ones behind can only wait. Mo Fei can sneak into a village and become a fief, which is already considered good. Treated.

In fact, this can be regarded as a BUG caused by players' intervention in the game, but it is not so fatal.

Murphy had specifically learned about this situation before, so he knew that he couldn't refuse this fiefdom. After passing this village, he didn't know when he would be able to score again, so he decisively chose to accept it.

Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Thank you, father. I am willing to accept this fate. I will definitely rule the fiefdom and people you gave me well."

[System prompt: You have successfully completed a 'kingdom mission' and have a preliminary understanding of the operation of the kingdom. You have obtained the fiefdom granted by the king and used your own territory. The conditions are met.

Trigger the plot mission - [Game of Thrones]. This mission is exclusive to the prince. You can determine your position in the kingdom by choosing the plot branch. 】

Murphy clicked on the taskbar, and sure enough, there was an extra task.

[Game of Thrones (Kingdom Story Quest)

Task description: As the prince of Alterac, you have the legal inheritance rights to the throne. However, because you are not the only son, you are bound to face competition from other princes and competition for power.

Faced with the temptation of the throne and the bond between brothers, you must make a choice.

Plot branch 1, a loving father and a filial son. By proving your strength, improving your favorability with King Aiden, and gaining the support of the nobles, King Aiden will voluntarily pass the throne to you and become the king of Alterac.

Plot branch 2, deep brotherhood. Choose to support a prince who has a good relationship with you and help him obtain the throne. Once successful, you will also receive huge benefits.

Plot branch 3, killing father and king (hidden branch). Your ambition for power was inspired by invisible whispers in your ears, and the evil in your heart prompted you to decide to seize the throne through conspiracy and force. In order to achieve your goal, even your biological father cannot block your way. 】

Murphy was very happy. Damn it, there is a hidden branch. This should be the hidden branch that he unlocked due to the influence of Deathwing's possession.

But after a little hesitation, he decisively gave up the third option.

If you really want to kill your father and kill your king, the commotion will definitely be loud. At that time, more than thirty princes and dozens of nobles will come to fight with you, and there will be the intervention of other countries in the alliance. With your own strength, even if you become an incarnation It's no use for Deathwing.

As for engaging in power and conspiracy, he doesn't have much talent in this area.

He didn't plan to choose branch 2. He wasn't very familiar with these princes, and they had probably divided the mountains long ago. It was probably too late to join them now.

Let’s choose 1, give it a try, just in case it happens.

[System prompt: You have chosen plot branch 1, a loving father and a filial son. Starting from today, you will work hard to improve the favorability of the king and win the support of the nobles. Facing the ownership of the royal power, other princes should not be underestimated. You must always face fierce competition. You can check your status in the social system Your support among the nobles, and the king's favorability towards you. 】

Murphy clicked on the social bar.

[King favorability: 15.

Ranking: 29th.

Comment: The king has a slight liking for you and is quite amazed by your bravery in slaying the dragon. However, among the many princes, you are not outstanding. 】

[Noble support level: 3.

Rank: 17th.

Evaluation: You only have a slight interaction with a few nobles. They are not disgusted with you, but they don't have many reasons to support you. 】

Hey, this is really strange. My king's favorability is 15, ranking 29th. This is understandable.

The other princes had arrived earlier than me, had done some tasks, and gained some favorability points. My ranking of 29th was normal.

But why is the support of the nobles so low, and why is it still ranked seventeenth?

He checked the nobles' support for each prince and found that it was not that his support was high, but that other people's support was too low. Many princes had negative support, and the lowest one was negative by 50. More points, but this person's favorability with the king is surprisingly high, directly ranking first, with a favorability of 87.

Mo Feixin said that it seemed that no one was trying to get rid of those nobles, and they all just wanted to gain favor with the king.

It's possible that some princes had conflicts with nobles.

This is normal. For the Chinese people who have supreme monarchy, the nobles are considered the eldest, and of course the king is the boss.

And it seems that increasing the king's favorability will actually reduce the support of the nobles? Is there some kind of political struggle that cannot be achieved?

You have to study this yourself carefully.

Murphy felt that this might be an opportunity for him. He knew very well that in Western history, the power of the nobles was not weak, and sometimes they could even compete with the king.

Since there are two criteria for becoming a king, it means that the support of the nobles is also very important. If you can win them over, it may be a big help.

The first place actually has a favorability score of 87. The gap is a bit big, but fortunately there is still time. As long as King Aiden does not die, he still has a chance.
