Start As a Lord In a Viscount

Using Charlie's kitchen, Claire simply cooked some light food, and then called Irene down.

Charlie and the second princess finally felt relieved after seeing that Irene was willing to eat.

I sat around the dining table with Claire and Irene, watching Irene eat the food bit by bit.

Irene was looked a little awkward and said, Don't look at me like this anymore, I can't eat anymore.

When the second princess saw it, she immediately took her eyes back and said with a reassuring smile: Don't watch it, don't watch it, you can eat it.

At the same time, she gave Claire a complimenting look. It's your fault, otherwise she wouldn't want to eat.

Later, under Charlie's inquiry, Irene also gave a general overview of what happened. Although they had some predictions in their hearts, they were still very surprised when the news was confirmed.

The second princess comforted: It's okay Irene, if you don't want to know the palace, just stay with us, Vito and Klee don't dare to embarrass you.

Charlie also agreed: Yes, with us here, they will give us a little face.

What about after the succession? Claire asked suddenly.

Charlie and the second princess were instantly at a loss for words. If one of Vito and Klee became the king, then the orders issued by the king were not something they could resist.

Anyway, they are brothers and sisters, they won't do too much... When the second princess said this, she didn't have much confidence in her heart.

There is no blood connection between the royal families at all. On the contrary, the interests generated by the blood will also fight. Although Irene seems to be harmless to them, she is not sure what they will think after taking office. The best outcome for Irene is to be married off as a marriage tool.

Claire rubbed her fingers, and then asked, Then... who of them is more likely to succeed?

Charlie took over the topic, On the bright side, the eldest prince has a better chance of winning. Before His Majesty died, there were many great nobles who favored him. But the strength of the second prince should not be underestimated, and he attracted him. Many nobles can compete with Vito.

So who is more likely to succeed, I don't have much to say.

Claire asked further: And what about your father? Who will the old Duke Charles stand for?

Charlie was silent for a while, As far as I know my father, he won't take a stand. He will only choose a stand when he can see who is the winner when things progress to the second half.

This is a smart approach, and a moderate approach. Since both sides are not guilty, no matter who is in the top, it will not affect him. But at the same time, it will also give a bad impression to the newly appointed king, and it is not very good for the subsequent development of the family. And sometimes even if you don't want to stand, you will be forced to stand. For example, Cleary hates those who don't want to do it.

Claire took a deep breath through the tip of her nose. In fact, neither Vito nor Klee's succession would be a good thing for him.

When he was on the plane of Raging Flames, he offended both of them. He originally thought that Norris could last for decades, but he didn't expect to burp so quickly. Based on his experience as a logistician in the plane of Raging Flames, Claire assured that no matter who came to power. They will all shoot at themselves, although they may be covered by Merlin, they cannot kill themselves.

But to influence from the side, it is very simple to make the development of Nafu City stagnate or even go backwards. It can be done simply by promulgating a decree.

After eating, Erin felt a little depressed when she heard the topics that Claire and the others were talking about.

He asked in a low voice, Then what should I do next?

Neither Charlie nor the second princess had any good ideas, so they turned to look at Claire.

Just like before, do whatever you want. Claire continued to encourage: Don't worry, don't feel confused, afraid to move forward.

You don't have to subconsciously look for support. Remember that you are your biggest support. Look at Mrs. Sophia, she wasn't also...

Listening to Claire's words, Irene's eyes gradually lit up, and then, Claire's eyes lit up too.

What he just said was just to enlighten the other party, but when he was talking, he thought of a good way.

Go back to rest after you eat. Claire quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

Irene turned her head and asked anxiously, Where are you going?

I have something to do with Mrs. Sophia. Claire waved her back to Irene, Go to sleep first, don't worry, I'll be back when you get up.

...

After a loud noise came from the door, Claire rushed in from the door.

Sorry ma'am! I couldn't stop him. The servants immediately bowed and apologized.

Sophia also stood up and waved, It's okay, let's go.

After the servants left, Claire looked at Sophia with a playful smile on her face, Madam doesn't want to see me today? I've been here for half an hour. If I hadn't barged in, I'm afraid it would be difficult to meet in the future.

Sophia smiled, pointed to the mountains of documents on her desk, and replied, I'm really busy.

The last time I came there were more documents than this. Claire ruthlessly exposed her lies.

Sophia narrowed her eyes, looked at Claire and said, Tell me, why are you looking for me today?

I want to know, who did you choose?

Um?

Claire slowly stretched out two fingers, Prince Vito? Or second prince Klee?

A trace of surprise flashed in Sophia's eyes, and her tone rose as she asked, How did you know?

Claire didn't answer, but looked directly into Sophia's eyes.

This is also the reason why Sophia was reluctant to see him just now. The eldest prince Vito and the second prince Claire have conflicts with Claire, so no matter who Sophia chooses, she can't be too close to Claire in the future, otherwise it may cause The dissatisfaction of the new king.

You must know that Sophia is only the head of the August family, not the ancestor of the August family, and the power of ministers like them comes from the king. The reason why Sofia can let the August family The rapid development is inseparable from Norris's support for her and the path opened for her.

Otherwise, why did she become the supreme minister of the six major magister families. And Count Purlan, the son of Magister Karl, can only be a nobleman on the edge of power. Magisters are powerful, but they don't care! It is the king and his ministers who really run the country.

And even from the family of a magus, he only has certain advantages, not the ability to do whatever he wants. Want to overwhelm people? There are six magisters and five swordsmen in the kingdom. Are other magister families or swordsmen families afraid of you?

As for uniting to control the throne or something, it is a joke. The power of the throne does not come from that position, but the Ivan Fa Sage who has retreated behind his back for more than two hundred years. He and Merlin are the foundation of the nation.

In other words, if you compare the kingdom to a company, those magicians and swordsmen are all shareholders, and these patriarchs are the managers who launched the company to run the company.

So if the newly appointed king is dissatisfied with Sophia, then how the August family developed, how will it fall back. Of course, because the ancestor is a magister, the August family is still a behemoth, and it can't damage the foundation, but it is not as strong as before.

For example, the market share of the magic store, or some channels in the kingdom, will be distributed to other new high-ranking ministers of power.

Claire. Looking at Claire's eyes, Sophia said slowly: He is smart and capable. With my help, he will have a greater chance of sitting on the throne.

Claire shook her head, I don't think so, why don't you change someone?

Sophia laughed, Who is it? Vito? A fool, I don't like it.

Claire stretched out her fingers and shook it gently, No.

Sophia was stunned, Who else is there?

Claire smiled slightly, Irene! Princess Irene.

I wanted to stay up all night to finish writing it, but I couldn't bear it anymore.

Now 10,000 words a day really hurts the body. By the way, won't you take a look at my new book?
