Spellcasting Heavens

No one in the center of power can resist the temptation of power.

Because rights are not only a tool for them to realize their dreams and ambitions, but also the only means to ensure that they can survive.

In particular, the princes who have begun to fight for the throne have already made up their minds to kill all the brothers and sisters who pose the greatest threat as soon as possible after seizing the throne. Even if they cannot do it directly, they must find ways to put them in danger. The place fends for itself.

Political struggle has always been a life-and-death contest, and any feelings and family ties will be eclipsed in front of it.

Everyone involved will do whatever it takes to ensure that he can become the final winner, even if it costs him the last bit of humanity.

After Harrison's fourth son repeatedly confirmed that his father had indeed fallen into a coma, he did not hesitate at all. He immediately enlisted two generals to launch a coup, and at lightning speed, all important ministers, including the Prime Minister, were placed under house arrest. He got up and coerced them into forging an accession edict to make himself the legitimate heir as quickly as possible.

However, as the saying goes, he did it all. He was not eager to sit on the throne. Instead, he returned to the capital in the name of his father with great fanfare, hoping to take this opportunity to seize the most densely populated, richest and most garrisoned city in one fell swoop. Down.

But unfortunately, he is not the only one who spends a lot of money to buy information.

Several other princes and princesses who were determined to compete for the throne were not vegetarians. They quickly saw through this strategy and directly joined forces to control the city, slandering the former as the culprit that caused the emperor to fall into a coma. The whole thing was a conspiracy. Not only did they refuse Let the other party enter the city, and under the banner of suppressing the rebellion, prepare to launch a war to determine who is the real successor.

It has to be said that with Harrison's fall, the shortcomings of his previous practice of letting his children compete for power and wanting to select the best successor were clearly reflected at this moment.

To be precise, it is a complete disaster for the entire country.

Suddenly, the self-reliant generals and nobles everywhere couldn't help but began to encourage some marginalized princes and princesses who had no intention of participating in the fight for the throne to actively join this feast of power.

And those monarchs who were originally just vassals of small countries also saw the opportunity to clean up the ministers who were used to monitor them in the country, regained their power, and began to wait for the opportunity to engulf the borders of this powerful country.

Perhaps as a saying goes, when the old lion falls and the young lions are still fighting for their father's hunting ground, groups of hyenas will wait for the opportunity and unscrupulously seize the food they think is the most delicious and delicious.

…

How many days is it now? Haven't my brothers decided the winner yet?

A girl in a pure white dress stood at the top of the tower, looking down at the fierce fighting on the city wall.

She was none other than the young princess who was engaged to Kerwin.

Because she was born too late, she did not gather too much power around her, and she needed to marry a foreign country. Therefore, she was not regarded as a target that must be eradicated. She was only temporarily locked up until others found out. Until life and death.

Your Highness, there is fighting everywhere outside. It's better for you to stay away from the window. Although I don't think the arrow will shoot so high, there is nothing wrong with being careful. An old knight comforted with a little helplessness.

to be honest,

When he was assigned to the princess by Harrison, he always thought it was a good position. He didn't have to risk his life to participate in the game of power, but he could also go abroad to enjoy a beautiful and luxurious life.

But all this gradually became confusing as the great emperor fell into a coma.

No one knows whether the engagement will be fulfilled, and no one knows how the new monarch will deal with so many brothers and sisters after he ascends the throne.

The princess smoothed her long hair that was blown by the wind, and sneered at herself: Maybe being shot to death is a good ending. At least it is better than being locked here all day without even being able to leave the door. In addition, my... My stupid and short-sighted brother did not realize that what they did not only tore the entire country apart, but also opened up opportunities for many ambitious people.

Opportunity? You mean...

Before the knight could finish his words, a letter suddenly slipped in from under the door.

With quick hands and quick eyes, he immediately opened the door and found that there was no one in the corridor. The two guards responsible for guarding did not know what the plot was. They were lying on the ground and fast asleep, as if they were unaware of everything happening in the outside world.

It's strange, who would actually want to send a letter in this way.

The knight muttered quietly, closed the door, and handed the letter to the princess to whom he was loyal.

The latter took it without saying a word, opened the wax seal, and read the words on it carefully.

After several minutes, the girl pursed her lips and said sarcastically: Sure enough! My fiancé can no longer hold back his inner desire and wants to use my name to get involved.

What? Kerwin?! That upstart called a tyrant? The knight's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

In his eyes, no matter how turbulent and chaotic his country is, it is still the undisputed overlord of the surrounding areas.

But now, a mere rural nobleman who had just risen to prominence was trying to pounce on him and tear off the fattest piece of meat.

Why not? Look outside, those idiots who are still fighting for the throne. Their first reaction after receiving this news is probably not to unite to fight against foreign enemies, but to find ways to get the other party to support them and attack those competitors. My father committed The biggest mistake he made was to let his most capable children fall into endless internal fighting instead of looking further ahead. They only saw the country, but failed to see the situation outside that was constantly changing drastically. Forget it, It's useless to say this now. The reason why my fiancé notified me is just to test my attitude. No matter whether I agree or not, he will not change his plan.

After that, the princess put the letter on the candle and lit it, with a sad and helpless expression on her face.

If she could, she wouldn't want to marry Kerwin at all.

But the problem is that the choice was not in her hands from the beginning, but in the hands of her brothers.

I believe that in order to compete for a militarily powerful ally, these guys would not mind giving away their sisters as gifts.

But what they don't know is that Kerwin wants not only a princess, but also a large area of ​​land and a legal crown...
