Quadruple split

Feeling the focused gazes of the grand dukes present here and witnessing their focused and serious expressions, at this moment, Rebobrasian felt unprecedented satisfaction. It was a sweet taste called power. It is the sense of existence that he has been pursuing for many years but has always been just a hair away.

Standing in front of these powerful lords, carrying out his beliefs and promoting his ideas in the name of Violet, this was a scene he had imagined for thousands of days and nights.

But the reason why an illusion is an illusion is because it does not have enough 'reality' to rely on.

In this land, although it is called an 'empire', the imperial power does not have enough weight. Even the emperor cannot express his own ideas as he pleases, and every generation of emperors, including Clairva Bresne, Every speaker in the Violet family has to face invisible constraints in every field. Apart from the superficial glamor, the so-called supreme imperial power will always only exist in the eyes of a small number of ignorant people. Yes, there are only a 'small number' of ignorant people. Among them, there is also a large proportion of children who have just learned the word 'emperor' and are blindly looking forward to it. Even if the majority of the people are the ruled class, they can more or less see some truth...

That is to say, except for the territory directly ruled by the Violet family, the emperor's orders are not as effective as the lord's orders in most cases.

Although it sounds ridiculous, this is a common sense and logical fact, and it is a fact that only exists in the Violet Empire.

I don’t know since when, compared to the big lords who can still scheming, fighting for power, and fighting openly and secretly for their own interests, the Violet Royal Family has gradually become a mascot-like existence, although they will not be exploited. , but it is impossible to fight for even a gold coin or an inch of territory for yourself under the vigilance of countless pairs of eyes. After all, this position is too sensitive.

It sounds good, because in this case, even a hopeless emperor and a group of useless royal families can live a prosperous life in this environment, even if they really do something. If you do something stupid, everyone will tacitly ignore or despise you, but will not overthrow or kill you.

Therefore, for a person who is mediocre enough and has no ambitions, the surname Bresne is simply a gift from God, a piece of pie that falls from the sky and can be eaten for a lifetime.

But the premise is that you are mediocre enough and have no ambition...

Rebo Bresne does not meet any of the above conditions.

He is not mediocre, not only is he not mediocre, his potential even exceeds that of most previous Violet emperors of the same age. He is quite talented in terms of vision, temperament, and skill. As for his personal strength, he is not yet thirty years old and already has a high level of talent. Although the title of knight is not as good as that of Warren Dantis (who is still alive and well), with the resource supply of the Violet family, the possibility of being promoted to a great lord (here refers to the title of knight) in his lifetime is not the same. Not low.

Rebebraithen is not a man without ambitions. Unlike his father Clairvaux, the Crown Prince has been dissatisfied with the current situation of the family since he was a boy. He longs for those great lords who are on equal footing with the royal family. We envy those who can devote themselves to their own interests, envy those who can win the respect through wisdom and means, envy...their sense of existence.

In the history of this country, there are always many great figures who are remembered by people. All of them were amazing talents who made great contributions to the family or achieved various great achievements. But Ruibo searched all the records and found out I came across various names of people with the surnames Baroka, Marshall, Hussein, and Dantes, but I couldn't find half of Bresne.

At first, he thought it was just that the Violet family was unlucky and had never had any talents. He felt lucky that he, who was not bad at talent and full of ambition, could become the first Blaisen to be remembered in history, but until When he grew up, Ruibo realized that it wasn't that the Violet family had some flaws or that there was something wrong with his genes, but that as a member of the royal family, even if you are full of passion, you can only be a mascot honestly, otherwise you will inevitably die. will be jointly restricted by the major lords.

So for the talented, idealistic and ambitious Rebo Bresne, being born into the royal family was not a lucky thing.

Whether it is good clothes and good food, a prominent reputation, a comfortable life, or being a thief and making money, none of these things are what he wants.

It can really be said that I really deserve a beating...

But was Ribo wrong?

No, because he was born in this position and stood high enough, so he would naturally want more. After all, a person who has food to eat every day will not worry about filling his stomach.

So if you want to worry, His Highness the Crown Prince can naturally only worry about the things you don't have.

For example, the ‘sense of existence’ and ‘sense of achievement’ under horizontal comparison.

The sense of one’s own existence and that of the Violet family; the sense of achievement of hard work and hard work.

To put it simply, he wants a chance...

An opportunity that can break the current situation and make the Violet Royal Family qualified to 'fight'.

This is definitely not a small problem. After all, this country has been named after 'Violet', and the royal family has indeed received many benefits including security under the current system. If they still want to get the same struggle as other families The space is really a bit excessive.

But from another perspective, if you can do this, it is a huge achievement in itself!

And it’s not like there’s no chance…

For example, Grand Duke Dantès, who had no heirs and was Ribo's biological uncle, had implicitly stated that he would support him as much as possible when the latter came of age. Naturally, the weight of 'support' here would not be too great. light.

Especially when Ribo went to Dantes to visit his uncle, he tentatively confided his thoughts to one of the people he trusted most that night, and unexpectedly received the latter's complete support. Retain your support and approval.

They even formulated a plan for this, a plan on how to give the Violet family a real place in the empire and a normal say.

For Dantès, this is not something that is detrimental to himself or others. After all, everyone knows that these two families have been on good terms for generations. In addition, his favorite nephew is still the crown prince and the next emperor. Naturally, the contemporary Grand Duke Dantès No worries.

Not even Clairvaux knew about this, because Ribo felt that his father, who was very conservative and very content with the status quo, would not support him too much.

All in all, the above content is one of the reasons why Rebebresne appeared in the Purple Jiu Hall today. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who not only has his own news channels, but also shares information with the Dantes family at any time, has a good grasp of the situation. After all the calculations, it is also clear that this trial is very likely not to end within the rules of the game like in the past. To put it simply, the Marshall family may really be 'sanctioned'.

And this will inevitably lead to a tremor, causing great turmoil in the entire empire, which will have a great impact on Ribo's plans.

If the Marshall family falls, then a gluttonous feast belonging to all the grand dukes will inevitably unfold. It is foreseeable that it will be difficult for the royal family to get a share of the pie in this process, and may even be taken away by other dukes in advance. Marginalize, and then face this destined to be protracted competition for interests as a bystander. In this case, let alone Ruibo is just a crown prince now, even if he is the emperor of the Violet Empire today, he probably can only watch honestly. ’s share.

And because of past traditions and tacit understanding, the other great lords wouldn't even feel there was anything wrong in the slightest.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Ribo. He needs a relatively stable environment to implement the plan, to fight for rights and interests subtly, and skillfully let the royal family gradually intervene in some matters through the cooperation of the Dantes family, and it will take several years to ten years. It took a few years to accumulate sand into a tower, but finally quietly broke free from the shackles.

If that time comes, he may sit back and watch the Marshall family be sanctioned, take the lead in getting a share of the pie, enjoy the process of dealing with other families, and strive for the interests of the royal family as much as possible, and thereby consolidate the status of the Violet family, and even You can also use your relatively detached identity to gain an advantage.

But that should never be now!

The time has not come yet!

The situation cannot be turbulent yet!

Therefore, Ribo must find a way to protect the Marshall family, especially after the latter sent people to have secret talks with the Archduke Dantès two days ago and promised to fully support him if he survives this disaster.

Although I don’t know how Buffy Marshall noticed it, since the other party has no ill intentions and is even willing to spend a lot of resources and even cooperate with him in the future in exchange for care, Ribo can no longer remain indifferent.

That's why he's here, the most important reason.

As for the other point, it is a ray of uneasiness deep in the heart of His Royal Highness, uneasiness about his own status...

He was born on the 3rd of the month of Lan, 9542 in the Holy Calendar. He is now 29 years old and has been the crown prince for 29 years, although Clairvaux has gradually given him some small tasks since three years ago. , but until now he is still only doing 'little things', such as joining the investigation team in the name of the royal family to go around Mercury City, etc. He still applied for it himself...

The throne that has been within reach since the day he came of age is still within reach but has never been obtained.

If Clairvaux was an emperor with the same ideals and ambitions as Ribo, then the latter would certainly understand his father very well and continue to wait willingly. After all, if it were him, he would not be here. He can abdicate at will when he is still in good health. Considering that he is less than thirty years old, he can still afford to wait.

But the problem is that Clairva Bresne is different from his eldest son. As I said before, this old man is actually more suitable to be a free bard or artist than to be an emperor. In the end, that year The decision to sit on the throne was not due to Clerval's great ambitions, but simply because of his sense of responsibility to the family. Therefore, it stands to reason that if he could relieve his burden early, Clerval would never hesitate based on his character.

But he just hesitated...

Although it has not been revealed at all, the fact that Ribo has been the crown prince for 29 years and still has not decided to abdicate is obviously hesitant.

If analyzed from this perspective, things become a bit subtle...

He neither missed the position of emperor nor allowed Ribo to be crowned. After ruling out these two points, no matter how reluctant he was, Ribo could only focus on his half-brother, Shubre, who was also the prince. On Sean.

Could it be that my father thought Xiubi himself was suitable to be the emperor?

This thought appeared uncontrollably in the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, causing him countless troubles, entanglements and doubts.

Comparing the two, although Xiu's mother is still alive, she is just a very ordinary woman. She does not have the slightest scheming, nor is she the type of character who relies on her son to become the emperor for the rest of her life. Moreover, compared with Xiu's mother, Clerval's favorite is still the late queen, his childhood sweetheart, the biological sister of the Grand Duke Dantès, and the mother of Ribo.

In terms of ability, compared to his conscientious and steadily emerging self, Xiu, who is also a prince, has always been known for his unrestrained love of freedom. Not only does he not care at all about political affairs and national conditions, but his sense of responsibility is infinitely close to zero. Although he has not yet To the extent that he causes trouble all day long, but the Second Prince's Feng Ping, who disappears every now and then and often causes chaos in the three-color courtyard, is not much better, and there is no comparison with him.

Disregarding ability and talking about strength, although he would not do such disgusting things as self-assertion of identity, Xiu has been angry with many mentors since he was a child. They said that his slender figure and light body are suitable for learning ranger skills. This guy is just right. He gained more than ten kilograms by eating himself. He said that he had excellent sense of elements and was suitable to be a magician, so he only practiced the arcane spell "Mage's Eye" for peeping. Finally, he said that he should just do some exercise, but the result was unexpected. He drugged himself, who was dragged here to exercise him, and made himself suffer from diarrhea for three days...

If I had to sum it up, it took Xiu three or four years to master a mage's eye, which was specially used to peek into the major bathhouses in the Royal District.

Damn it...

But even so, his father was still tolerant of him in every possible way, and he would ask his brother's opinion intentionally or unintentionally after asking himself about everything, including when the slave trade had just come to light, Clerval was always talking to him. After the chat, I immediately asked, "Where are you repairing?" ’

That's why Ruibo chose to come here directly this time in a relatively strong, even overreaching and unflattering way, expressing his thoughts in the name of the crown prince, and by the way, he also dragged Xiu along who didn't care about it.

He wanted to get an answer from Clairvaux...

Even if it's just an obscure answer...

Will this throne be his own?
