Valon: Even a supporting character can change his fate.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that you cannot become a king just because you want to.

You have to pay an entrance fee of one silver coin to enter a town, and now you have to pay an entrance fee to enter the royal city, which is a full ten silver coins.

This amount of money is already a considerable expense for an ordinary family in this world, but for Valon it is just a drop in the bucket.

After Valon handed over the ten silver coins, the soldiers guarding the gate took the money and let Valon in without even searching him.

After entering the city, Valon did not rush to implement his plan, but instead walked around the city first.

While Valon was wandering around the city, a debate was taking place in the palace hall.

Sitting on the throne is the king of this country, but the king is not in a very good condition at this moment. His face is pale, he has heavy dark circles under his eyes, and the deep wrinkles on his face look like they could pinch a fly to death.

Sitting on the throne, he looked at the ministers below with lifeless eyes, feeling as if he might fall asleep at any moment.

The ministers below have become accustomed to this. Ever since the accidental death of the king's favorite little princess, the old king's health has been deteriorating day by day.

In stark contrast was the queen sitting next to him, with her shiny black hair, blood-red lips, and skin as white as snow and as smooth as a baby's.

That's right, this beautiful queen is the evil queen who killed Snow White, dug out her heart, and stole her beauty.

Now she has controlled the old king with her beauty which is almost 90% similar to Snow White. Of course, this is only secret control, and on the surface, the old king still has the final say in everything in the kingdom.

Some people may find it strange that these ministers are so loyal?

The king is so stupid, don't these people want to replace him?

It’s not that they haven’t thought about it, but the person who can kill all their evil thoughts is standing among them right now.

He was a handsome man with a jewel-studded sword on his waist and an expression of unparalleled confidence on his face.

The handsome man was none other than the old king's son, his only son and the sole heir to the throne.

This prince not only has the status of a legitimate heir, but also has considerable personal charm. Not only is he loved by the people, he also possesses great martial arts skills.

Most importantly, he is a believer of the Church of Light and is supported by the entire Church of Light.

The old king gathered his energy, looked at the people in the audience, and asked, "What's the report?"

As soon as these words came out, the cardinal of the Church of Light slowly walked out and said, "There are still seven days until the Day of Light. Your Majesty, please order the allocation of funds and let the residents of the capital prepare for the arrival of the Day of Light."

After the cardinal finished speaking, the old king did not respond. The queen winked at a minister, and the man immediately understood and came out in a few quick steps.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

Hearing that someone was actually singing a different tune on this matter, the cardinal couldn't help but frown, with a hint of anger on his face.

However, the man seemed to have not seen it, and continued to talk to himself, "Every year, the Day of Light consumes a lot of energy in the kingdom, and preparing seven days in advance causes the kingdom to suffer a huge loss......"

Before the man finished speaking, the cardinal could no longer suppress his anger and turned around and shouted, "What nonsense! If it weren't for the protection of the great God of Light, how could the kingdom have developed to its current state? The Day of Light is a day for the people to express gratitude to the God of Light. Aren't you afraid of the wrath of the God of Light by doing this?"

The man wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back as if he was afraid of something. However, he soon thought of another more tactful statement.

"In addition to the protection of the God of Light, the wise leadership of His Majesty the King is equally important for the kingdom's current prosperity."

However, the cardinal did not have the chance to speak, and the man continued, "Besides, the great God of Light is merciful. This year is different from the past. There are a lot of disasters in various parts of the kingdom, mountain torrents, plagues, and werewolves and vampires who came out of nowhere fighting on our land.

All these factors have led to a continuous reduction in taxes. In addition to the renovation of the capital, the elimination of dark creatures, and the construction of three churches of the God of Light, the national treasury is already in deficit. We also need to use this money to help more citizens. I believe that the merciful God of Light will understand and forgive us."

This is the fundamental difference between the two countries. If it were in a country where Wallonia had just arrived, let alone saying so blatantly that the budget and time of the Day of Light would be cut, as long as you dared to open your mouth, you would be labeled a pagan.

As for discussion, who will discuss with you? The cardinals over there give orders directly. If you, the king, don't do anything, then replace him with someone who can.

But this country is different. The power of the Church of Light in this country is not that strong. In addition, the queen has secretly put a lot of obstacles in the way of the Church of Light, causing it to lose the support of the people and reducing its power a lot.

However, at this moment, the prince who had been silent all this time stood up and said, "Although the country is in great difficulty now, I think it is better not to cut back on the Day of Light. After all, we can have the days we have today thanks to the help of the God of Light and the Church."

The cardinal was very satisfied with the prince's speech.

However, the old king sitting on the throne seemed not to hear the quarrel among the people below, and his slightly dim eyes stared blankly ahead.

After a long while, he said, "What was the budget and national holiday time for Bright Day in the past?"

Faced with the old king's question, the ministers below did not dare to delay and hurried to answer.

After a long time, the old king spoke again, "The funding will be reduced by half, and the time will be reduced from seven days to three days."

The cardinal was obviously dissatisfied with the old king's words, but when he turned around and saw the prince who was also slightly dissatisfied, there was a bit more relief on his face and he didn't say anything more.

The cardinal is not a fool, and neither is the Church of Light. Even though the queen acted very covertly, she was eventually discovered.

Even though the Church of the God of Light has not yet obtained definite evidence, they have already felt it. The main reason why they have remained silent is because of the existence of the prince.

After all, they didn't want to be branded as someone who assassinated the king and incited rebellion. Besides, they also had a prince and crown prince who firmly believed in the Church of Light.

The old king obviously doesn't have many years left to live. After his death, the prince will naturally become the new king. At that time, their Church of Light will surely take advantage of the opportunity to prosper.
