Each of them quietly observed the situation.

“Since no one else objects, the throne will be inherited by Jesibel. After the king's burial, the coronation ceremony will begin.”

Seeing this, Karina directly confirmed the matter of succession to the throne.

Feeling the strange gazes around him, as well as Prince Jesibel's unkind look, Baron Tadis was covered in cold sweat.

He had played it too far.

This woman really had no attachment to the throne at all.

Now, not only had he offended the new king, but he had also pushed the queen to the opposite side.

Looking at the nobles and ministers who were subtly isolating him, Baron Tadis took a deep breath and forced a smile.

He found an excuse and left directly.

After leaving the palace, Baron Tadis got into his carriage and headed straight back to his territory.

“Damn it! How did I suddenly become so lustful, actually having thoughts about the Queen…”

The more Baron Tadis thought about it, the angrier he became, and he slapped himself.

He had been stable for so many years, being a local tyrant in his own territory, sleeping with whichever commoner he fancied.

What was there to be dissatisfied with in such a comfortable life?

Yet, he let lust take over, provoking the Queen and even plotting to take over the entire Austin Kingdom.

Didn't he consider whether he had the ability to do so?

As the carriage moved forward, Baron Tadis suddenly felt that something was not quite right. Was it a little too quiet around?

He lifted the carriage curtain and looked out the window.

In the silent wilderness, the sky was just turning yellow, and the surrounding area was flat fields. It didn't seem like there was anything special.

Could it be that he was just overthinking things?

Just as this thought flashed through his mind.

Boom!

A roar suddenly came from the roof of the carriage, as if something very heavy had fallen on the roof of the carriage.

Baron Tadis's heart skipped a beat.

In an instant, an indescribable terrifying pressure enveloped the surroundings, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body.

The feeling was as if he was being targeted by something very terrifying.

Tear!

A harsh rubbing sound came from above his head, followed by a sharp claw tearing through the roof of the carriage.

Poof!

A figure fell into the carriage. When Baron Tadis came back to his senses, he realized that this figure seemed a little familiar.

Looking closely, wasn't this the knight in the palace?

What was his name again, Rhode?

Seeing that it was just a small knight, Baron Tadis immediately perked up again.

“A mere knight dares to damage my carriage. Do you know what the punishment is for offending a baron?”

Looking at Baron Tadis, who was rambling on and on and didn't understand what was going on, Rhode couldn't help but sigh.

This guy really didn't understand what it meant to assess the situation.

“How did someone like you become a noble? Is it just because of that damned noble bloodline?”

Rhode muttered softly.

Hearing this, Baron Tadis immediately became angry. What did this guy mean?

“You!”

Poof!

Rhode was too lazy to say anything to this trash. He casually punched and directly exploded that ugly and fat head.

Looking like a deformed child formed by the combination of his goblin mother and a dwarf, and daring to have ideas about the Queen?

How dare you?

Like a toad driving a jeep, ugly but playing wild.

There was no other reason for him to kill this guy, purely because he looked too disgusting.

The thought of this guy still being alive made him feel that his Dao heart was not smooth enough.

Therefore, for the sake of his mental health, he could only wrong this guy to die.

After dealing with this guy, Rhode returned to the palace.

Just as he arrived in the hall, he heard a group of ministers and nobles discussing Jesibel's marriage.

“His Royal Highness Jesibel is now of marriageable age. Since he is going to inherit the throne, he still needs to quickly find a suitable queen.”

“We can issue ball invitations to the surrounding nobles and kingdoms in the name of the Austin Kingdom, inviting all eligible unmarried noble ladies to attend the ball and select a suitable noble to become queen.”

Several ministers spoke one after another, suggesting solutions to Jesibel's marriage problem.

Jesibel felt a headache listening to this.

But he couldn't refuse.

When he was a prince, he could find ways to delay it, but now…

She had become the quasi-king who was about to inherit the throne. If she didn't even have a queen, it would be a joke to the surrounding nobles and kingdoms.

Therefore, no matter what, this standard mate selection process had to be followed once.

All nobles chose their spouses from these large balls, selecting the other half that suited their eye.

She was no exception.

However, her current identity was that of a quasi-king who was about to inherit the throne, so the range of spouses she could choose was much larger.

If nothing unexpected happened, all the nobles in the vicinity who had eligible unmarried young ladies in their families would attend.

If she was lucky, even a marquis's heir might come.

Of course, this probability was not high.

After all, the marriage of marquis-level nobles would definitely prioritize choosing lords of equal status and title.

Only if there were no more suitable nobles around would they focus on lower-level nobles.

Otherwise, marriages between nobles were usually of equal status or married to nobles of higher status.

There were very few noble ladies who condescended to marry down.

Unless there were no male heirs or direct descendants in this noble family to inherit the family.

Then they would choose a low-level noble to marry into and take charge of the territory.

“Tsk!”

What was this all about?

Rhode looked at the ministers who were rushing to prepare, with a strange expression on his face.

After all, marrying a wife for a woman, even if they really married, she wouldn't have that ability.

Rhode shook his head and returned to his room.

As soon as he planned to go back to rest through the space-time door, Jesibel's voice came from outside the door.

“What are you doing here?”

Rhode looked at the flustered Jesibel, a little confused.

“I need you to help me have a relationship with my queen on my wedding night.”

Jesibel said quickly.

“Wait, let me sort this out.”

Rhode had a black question mark on his face, and after thinking about it, he understood.

“Are you saying that on the day of your wedding, you want me to replace you?”

“That's right, only you know my identity. If I don't want to be exposed, I can only let you replace me and have a relationship with the queen.”

Jesibel looked serious.

After all, she was a woman. If she didn't do anything on her wedding night.

If the rumor spread that the king was incompetent, the reputation of the entire royal family would be affected.

Chapter 86: Desire Gradually Spiraling Out of Control!

Hmm?

How should I put it, this kind of condition was really the first time he had heard of it.

No king would let others consummate the marriage with his future queen on his wedding day.

Wasn't this actively putting a hat on his own head?

Only a fake man like Jesibel, disguised as a woman, would make such an outrageous request.

However, it wasn't impossible.

“It's possible, but there's a condition.”

Rhode stroked his chin and stated his condition.

“I want to personally choose the queen.”

After all, his aesthetic standards were a bit high, and the women around him were all top-notch beauties.

If she was too ugly or just a little ordinary, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Therefore,

The candidate for this queen must be chosen by him personally.

“Personally choose…”

Jesibel frowned, thought about it, and agreed.

Marriage was nothing to her. Even without the marriage of other nobles, she could still develop the Austin Kingdom.

Let the people of this country live a prosperous life.

Therefore, as long as Rhode wasn't too excessive, who the queen was didn't matter to her.

After all, she had no interest in women.

“Tomorrow, a special minister will be sent to issue ball invitations to the surrounding nobles. I can order you to be responsible for this matter.”

Jesibel said slowly.

“At that time, you can scout in advance to see if there are any women among those nobles who are suitable to become queen, after all…”

Saying that, she glanced at Jesibel.

“In the future, you may need to come forward often.”

“Do you have any requirements for your queen?”

Rhode shrugged noncommittally and asked casually.

“Appearance and family background don't matter, but I don't want my queen to be a vicious, narrow-minded woman.”

Jesibel thought for a while and made a condition.
