One Piece: Reign in the Name of Death

Chapter 103 Choosing a New King

The minister's face turned red, and he could only speak haltingly.

"Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. How can you do such an unjust thing? Wouldn't it make the world laugh at you?"

In addition, there are some words like gentleman, loyalty and righteousness that are difficult to understand.

The hall was filled with a speechless atmosphere.

Auguro glanced at the group of people with disdain.

What loyalty or disloyalty.

In the final analysis, they are worried that their power will be reduced.

When the young ruler ascended the throne, they could do whatever they wanted.

But if they accept Auguro's rule, it would be questionable whether they can maintain their current position.

I can only say that no matter which world it is, none of these officials are good people.

"Don't worry! I won't rob your country!" Auguro said to them with contempt.

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of those ministers who opposed it suddenly lit up.

The ministers who were won over by Khalifa had expressions as if they had lost their parents.

They felt as if they were abandoned!

However, Auguro's next words made everyone's heart skip a beat.

"However, what you just said about letting a few children inherit the throne is definitely inappropriate! After all, none of them have the last name Frant!"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this, and then asked cautiously, "What does your majesty mean?"

Auguro waved his hand and said, "According to custom, when a kingdom loses its royal family, it chooses one from among the remaining nobles to inherit the throne."

"I see there are still many adult nobles in the Kingdom of Fland! How difficult is it to choose a suitable king?"

Hearing this, many people present had strange looks on their faces.

They also have noble status, which means they are qualified to compete for the throne!

If you can make your family a royal family, wouldn't that be much better than being a mere minister?

At this time, Augro looked at Kalifa on the side and said.

"Kalifa, which nobles in the Kingdom of Flandre are more suitable to be the king?"

Kalifa adjusted her glasses and stepped forward to say respectfully, "Your Majesty, from what I know, Count Roland Osman is the most prestigious! And the civilians under his rule also live and work in peace and contentment!"

"What? I don't agree!"

At the sound of the name, several of the ministers jumped as if they had been bitten by a snake.

Auguro raised an eyebrow, "Why? Is there something wrong with this person?"

"This……"

Under Auglo's oppressive gaze, these people did not dare to talk nonsense and could only speak timidly.

"He's not the right person!"

"Ha!" Auguro sneered, "Whether it's suitable or not is not up to you to decide!"

"I just want to ask you one question: Does this Osman Count have the legal qualification to inherit the kingdom?"

The ministers who were being won over reacted quickly and said, "Of course! The Roland family is one of the oldest noble families in the Kingdom of Flandre!"

Auguro immediately smiled and clapped his hands, saying, "That's good! I think this Osman Count is a good choice to be the king! Who's in favor? Who's against?"

Only then did everyone react.

It turns out that this was Auguro's idea!

Although he did not seize the ruling power of the Kingdom of Flandre, he supported a puppet to take the throne!

With this puppet around, does it matter whether the Kingdom of Fland is annexed by the Holy Spirit Empire?

"Your Majesty the Spiritual King!" A minister could not help but speak up, "This is the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Fland, please do not interfere!"

Auguro rolled his eyes and said, "When did I interfere? Isn't this helping you find an heir to the throne according to your laws and customs? Are you planning to choose a king without following the law?"

This one sentence choked several ministers to death!

Not obeying the law?

They do!

But can this be said?

"Kalifa!" Auguro didn't care what these ministers thought and turned to Kalifa.

"Go contact Count Osman! The Kingdom of Fland is in a critical moment right now."

"People like him should stand up and lead everyone out of the haze! I believe there will be many people willing to support him!"

When many people heard this, their faces turned ugly as if their parents had died.

Although it’s not said explicitly, what these few sentences mean is that you can go ahead and fight for it with confidence, I’ll be supporting you from behind!

What the hell is this?

Who among those present can compete with the Holy Spirit Empire?

I'm afraid he doesn't even know how he died!

As for the objection?

Ha ha!

What evidence do you have to prove that Augro has interfered in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Fland?

He was just saying something fair!

You in the Kingdom of Flandre are not the kind of people who don't even allow people to speak, right?

Not long after, Count Osman was invited over by Khalifa.

This is a very young guy, probably in his early twenties.

Looking at the people present at this moment, Osman unconsciously revealed a hint of timidity on his face.

Don't think that the Roland family has always held the title of hereditary earl.

In fact, their family had long been squeezed out of the small circle of core power in the royal capital.

In recent decades, it has been a marginal transparent entity.

Until recently, a group of people came to him and expressed their admiration for the Ottoman family's policies in ruling their territory.

Not only did he stay to help him govern the territory, but he also offered many valuable suggestions for improvement.

This made him feel like he had a close friend.

Unexpectedly, today, this group of people found him again and said they wanted to support the Roland family to ascend the throne!

This pie-in-the-sky thing completely stunned him.

Until he entered the palace, he thought he was dreaming.

"Osman, are you willing to inherit the throne and become the new king of the Kingdom of Fland?"

Auguro asked with a smile.

"This..." Osman was still confused at the moment and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing this, the ministers who opposed it immediately gained confidence and spoke up immediately.

"Count Osman is still too young! He cannot bear such a heavy burden! I propose that Duke Belija inherit the throne!"

The Duke of Beligat is a representative figure of the bureaucrats and landowners.

He believed that the common people were the property of the nobles, and all the wealth produced by the common people should also belong to the nobles!

Simply put, he is a guy who treats civilians as slaves.

The minister's words were immediately agreed upon by many ministers.

Who among these powerful people doesn’t want more wealth and power?

Distributing land to civilians like Ottomans did and only collecting a little tax and rent every year is simply the most stupid thing!

Looking at the anxious crowd, Auguro pretended to be regretful and said to Osman.

"What a pity! I originally thought that when you inherited the throne, you would be able to bring a more prosperous life to all the citizens of the Kingdom of Fland! Now it seems that I have to let others take charge!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Osman's blood was immediately ignited.

If Beligar were to take the throne, what future would the people of the kingdom have?
