Release that Witch Chapter 1010: outlet
"Your Majesty ... Your Majesty, please think twice!" The wailing sound of City Hall Prime Minister had already rang outside the door before I saw him.
When Barov. Hermon ran to the desk panting, Roland was able to put down the teacup in his hand, "What is think twice? Is it the ceremony?"
"No, I mean ... announce to all territories that you will marry a witch as Queen." The old Prime Minister, while rubbing the fine sweat on his forehead, secretly glanced behind King, "This matter It ’s not right, Your Majesty! "
After the notice was proposed to City Hall, Roland knew that the news would definitely make waves, so the response of the other party did not exceed his expectations. If -- wanted to eliminate the obstacle, the first thing to unify was City Hall's voice.
This decision was not made because of his whim, after the end of Months of Demons, the Neverwinter City army will enter Fertile Plain again to remove Devil at the last stronghold of Taqila's. Together with spring ploughing, new construction plans, and trade and other issues, it can be said that the entire Greycastle will be very busy in the coming year. If you go to the throne in accordance with the traditional charter, it will take about two to three months from the invitation of guests to the official coronation, even longer than the wedding. This is tantamount to lowering the kingdom's productivity. It is okay to run a game in peacetime, which is obviously not a good choice today.
And there is a rare tranquility this winter. This move can not only stimulate the vitality of citizen, but also does not need to make great efforts.
The most important is that Roland hopes to complete this promise sooner.
Of course, as a feudal king in power, he can do it alone. There are too many examples in history. No matter how ridiculous orders and seemingly impossible requirements can be realized under the will of the ruler, not to mention this matter is far less exaggerated. However, since the framework of City Hall was built by him, he would not want to dismantle it himself if it is not necessary.
Using power within rules is much more efficient than squandering it.
"What's the reason?" Roland tapped on the table and asked deliberately.
"Of course, heir --" Barov hurriedly, "witch has no way to give birth, this is something everyone knows, especially when the war is about to come, in case you have a long and short, other noble has It ’s almost moving, and the public ca n’t rest easy! ”He swallowed,“ If you just want to be with Lady Anna, you do n’t need to do this at all. ”
"Oh? do you mean ..."
"You only need to marry a young girl then it will be alright of noble," Prime Minister advised. "She can be used to block the crowd, and show up at then it will be alright when necessary. It doesn't matter how you treat her in the future. With this layer of occlusion, you can do what you want -- "
"So Anna can't get this name?" Nightingale interrupted the other person suddenly, "Just because she is a witch?"
"I don't think Lady Anna will mind these superficial things," Barov coughed twice, "if it is for the stability of the kingdom. If Your Majesty can't speak, I can talk for you."
"You're not her, how do you know that she won't mind? As far as this relationship is concerned, I bet she never wants to see a puppet in between!"
"But it has nothing to do with feelings, but heirs ..."
"Enough," Roland raised his hand, "Anyway, just give a reasonable outlet then it will be alright to the people below, right?"
"Exhale ... mouth?" Barov froze slightly.
"Isn't this so?" He pretended to be careless, "I defeated the Pope and I took all her life. I don't need anyone to inherit this throne. That's why I decided to marry Anna. -- Unfortunately, including you Only a few people know about this. For those citizen who do n’t know magic power at all, if they do n’t see it with their own eyes, they may be hard to believe. Because of this, they need a psychological sustenance, or outlet. I can soothe their anxiety, am I right? "
Since the battle between Cold Wind Ridge and Church, City Hall executives know more or less that he has passed a test called Battle of Soul. The winner wins everything and the loser loses everything -- Although it sounds incredible, the appearance of ancient witch and the existence of soul transfer have added a lot of credibility to this statement. At the United Front conference, he formally convinced Pasha and others with this reason, and everyone defaulted on this rhetoric.
"Yeah, that's what I mean," Barov didn't know he was falling into the trap a little bit. "As long as there is a nominal heir, the voice of opposition will calm down."
"So I have an easier way," Roland shrugged. "When I attacked Hermes a year ago, I stumbled upon Gerald Wimbledon's lover, and the tavern's maid was pregnant with his blood." >
"What do you ... say?" Prime Minister suddenly narrowed his eyes, "You are sure that the child is Wimbledon ..."
"Ah, hair and eyes are gray. "He nodded.
"You, why didn't you tell me then?"
"If you know, it is still a question of whether the mother and child can live until now." Roland took a tea cup and sipped, "How about, isn't a ready-made outlet more convenient than your idea? "
A candidate heir to the throne forever impossible can provide sufficient topicality, without any threats, and can be replaced at any time ... Seeing Barov's flickering eyes, Roland knows that the other party must have thought of these . You don't even need to do much. You only need to disclose such a person to citizen and then recall him to Neverwinter City then it will be alright.
The rest of the masses will make up for themselves in discussion and diffusion.
"If the biological mother is a pub waitress, the child can only be regarded as an illegitimate child, and he must be assigned a higher status, otherwise it will cause criticism; moreover, this maid should be supervised, Compared to noble, they do have better control ... ”Barov has figured it out.
Roland can't help but raise his mouth, the scene in front of him seems to return to three years ago, when he just became Wimbledon Fourth Prince. However, at that time, he had to exhaust his lips to introduce the other person to his own thinking rhythm. Now he only needs a few words to mention -- As long as it comes from him, no one dares to question the authenticity easily, even if it is eternal life. The same.
"Go ahead and make a plan, as well as the ascension, you have planned it out and show it to me." He waved his hand and motioned to step down.
After Barov left, Roland was only released a long breath, "I didn't expect you to be upset about Anna."
"Sorry, I can't help it ..."
"No, don't apologize, you did everything right," he couldn't help looking at Nightingale and found her look much calmer than he expected, "but I thought you would ..."
"What will happen? Frowning, sad?" Nightingale gave him a blank look. "I still think you raised it too late. Of course, I wouldn't let this step if it wasn't Anna."
Remembering that she lost her weight when she reappeared two days after her disappearance, Roland can only think that the changes in it are related to her agreement with Anna.
Although he was very concerned about this question, he didn't ask it.
