The Witcher’s Nightmare Wagon

The defensive shield was opened, and Dario's body was taken away. The episode just now happened, and the atmosphere in the hall became extremely strange.

King Fred sat on the throne. Nobles, officials, and clergy of the church all lowered their heads, and no one knew what they were thinking.

"Poor child, I hope his spirit can return to the embrace of the goddess." Bishop Norius said.

"Mr. Scarlid, although Dario has a mental problem and said a lot of things that slandered us, but as a believer of the goddess, I am still willing to hold a funeral for him in the church and pray..."

"No need, I will take care of the rest." The Minister of Finance rejected Norius' request indifferently. Although there was no direct evidence, he believed that Dario's death must be related to the Oracle Church.

"A farce." The Radiant Pope finally concluded.

"Whether it's a farce still needs to be investigated." Duke Dressel denied the Pope's words, "Henrik, I will leave this matter to you, and I hope you can find out the truth."

"As you order, Your Excellency the Duke."

"What do you want to investigate, Dressel?" The Radiant Pope said, "Anyone can see that Dario's spirit has gone wrong, and you will take such absurd remarks seriously?"

"Absurd remarks?" The Duke smiled. "The nobles that Dario just mentioned have nothing to do with you?"

"Of course." The Pope nodded. "In the past 20 years, we have faithfully fulfilled the terms of the peace treaty and have not done anything to interfere in Elam's government affairs."

"So, you are not going to support Prince Philip on the throne as Dario said?" the Duke asked back.

The Radiant Pope raised his head, "Philip is the Son of the Holy Spirit of the church. As for whether he can become the king of Elam, that is up to you."

"Very good." The Duke nodded, "Remember what you just said."

"The ceremony continues." He continued.

The music sounded, and Sigmund accompanied Princess Charlotte to the throne.

Crowned, praised, King Fred did everything according to the process.

Next, it should be Prince Philip's turn.

Philip took a step forward and glanced at Bishop Norius with a complex expression, while the latter took the initiative to look away.

"Wait a minute." King Fred raised his hand to stop Prince Philip's next move, then he stood up and scanned the audience.

"I have something to announce."

There was silence in the hall, and everyone straightened their backs and pricked up their ears.

"In the blink of an eye, 20 years have passed, Charlotte, you have grown up." Fred smiled, "According to Elland's tradition, after the crowning ceremony is held, you will automatically get the inheritance." The right to the throne, so..."

Fred took a deep breath, and the crowd below realized what had happened, and when they looked around, they saw horror on each other's faces.

"That's why I decided to pass on the throne of Elam to you today!"

"I'm old, it's time to take a good rest. I've seen everything you've done these years. It's very good. You can definitely turn Elam into the most prosperous country in the world!"

silence.

Deathly silence.

For a long time after King Fred finished speaking, even the sound of breathing disappeared in the metal hall.

Everyone looked at Fred in front of the throne dumbfounded. They never expected to hear such words on such an occasion.

No sign.

Not long after Princess Charlotte was born, she was sent to the Duke Dressel's mansion. She grew up under the care of Duke Dressel, and her relationship with King Fred was not close.

It can even be said to be rusty.

Many people believe that Fred is not simply disliked by his daughter, but rather bored.

On the one hand, there is the neglect of Charlotte, and on the other hand, the care for Prince Philip. Although the princess and the prince have the same right of inheritance, there has never been a queen in the history of Alan.

Therefore, everyone will always ignore subconsciously, ignoring the possibility that Charlotte can become king.

Until this moment.

On this special occasion, King Fred announced his choice of heir.

"No!"

"This is not true!" A roar mixed with anger, unwillingness, jealousy, and despair resounded throughout the hall.

It's Philip.

"I am the heir to the king, I am the prince of Elam! The throne belongs to me!" The muscles on his cheeks trembled, and he strode forward, rushing directly to the throne.

"Stand back, Prince Philip!" Sigmund blocked Philip's way with his hand.

"Go away! You lackey of Dressel!" Philip snapped angrily.

"Yes, it must be Dressel. Dressel is threatening you, right? My father!"

"Come on, come on!" Prince Philip yelled.

"Knights of the Temple, where are the guards?! Grab Dressel, he is the biggest careerist in this country, he is going to be the king, come and catch him!"

Under Sigmund's control, all of Prince Philip's struggles were like a child's messing around.

The guards on both sides of the palace did not move, and none of the nobles in the crowd spoke. Seeing that Sigmund's blockade could not be broken, Philip rushed towards Bishop Norius.

"Help me, bishop. I am the son of the Holy Spirit of the church. My country is in crisis. I need your help!"

All eyes turned to Norius, and Norius looked to the Radiant Pope.

"Don't forget what you said just now." Duke Dressel said suddenly, "This is an internal matter of Elan and has nothing to do with you."

"You're right." The Radiant Pope sighed. He didn't expect things to evolve to this extent. Because of Dario's madness, many key secrets were leaked, and the original plan completely failed.

And at this moment, King Fred threw out a heavy message.

Now if he wanted to prevent Charlotte from obtaining the right of inheritance, he could only expose Fred's identity, but in the eyes of the Radiant Pope, this was not a perfect timing.

Because of Dario's incident, they lost their prestige, and the election of Prince Philip at this time may not get as much support as imagined.

But at this moment, the Radiant Pope found that he had no choice.

If he doesn't do something, he can only watch Charlotte get the right of succession logically, and then become king after Fred abdicates.

At that time, it will become extremely difficult to annex Elam again.

Thinking of this, he raised his head.

"You are right. The succession of the throne belongs to Elam's internal government affairs, but Philip is not only a prince, he is also the Son of the Holy Spirit of the church, and it is our duty to protect the rights of the Son of the Holy Spirit."

"So his affairs are our affairs." The Radiant Pope emphasized.

"I am the king of Elam, and I have the right to decide my own heir." King Fred was not angry.

"Yes." Bishop Norius agreed with his face. He walked out of the crowd with a smile, and the three sixth-orders behind him also maintained the same pace as him.

"You are right, but first, you must be the king of Elam, the real king!"

Norius raised his tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar.
