Start As a Lord In a Viscount

Irene? Sophia's tone rose a lot, her reaction was more intense than Claire imagined.

That's right, Irene. Claire continued: Irene also has the right to inherit the throne as a princess, and she has every chance to become the next queen!

Sophia was still reluctant to accept it, and asked: It's only theoretically possible, Irene is just a princess, what does she have?

This is a very realistic question. Compared with the eldest prince and the second prince, Irene has no foundation or background at all. When Norris was alive before, he could still have some power because of Norris's favor. But after Norris died, people went to the tea to cool off. Those nobles probably didn't take Irene seriously anymore, and now they all go to curry favor with Vito or Klee.

What about Vito and Klee? What do they have? Claire asked rhetorically.

Sophia replied without thinking: They have been in the army for many years, and the higher-ups in the army have a higher degree of recognition for them, and the nobles in the capital are more inclined to them. In these respects, Irene and they have nothing to do with them. Compare. Irene has been the mascot of the kingdom these years, and in terms of strength, she is not as good as those two princes at all.

Then they have it, and Irene can also have it. Claire continued, As long as you promise to support Princess Irene, Madam, she now has a big backer...

Then what? Sophia asked rhetorically, she didn't think Irene could succeed in her position with her position.

Claire pointed to herself and said, And then there is me, and I will do my best to help Erin.

This is Claire's best choice right now. No matter who Vito and Klee are in the top position, it will not benefit him at all, and after they are in the top position, maybe they will do something wrong to him. And whether it is from the perspective of helping Irene or herself, making Irene the queen is in the best interest of Claire.

After hearing Claire's words, Sophia did not refute this time. Although Claire's words are a bit arrogant, if he joins, the success rate can indeed increase a lot.

But even so, Sophia is still not tempted, what she wants is not the possibility of success, what she wants is to become a real servant of the dragon.

The risk is too high. Sophia still shook her head and declined. Even if she closed her eyes and chose anyone from the eldest prince and the second prince, the probability of success would be much higher than choosing Irene.

The risk is high, and the reward is high. Claire continued.

Compared to Vito and Klee, there are no other nobles around Irene at this time. If you join now, you will be the first. If Irene really succeeds in ascending the throne later, the benefits of that will be yours. I know. With Xiaoboda, don't you do this often?

Listening to Claire's bewitchment, Sophia admitted that she was indeed moved. But it's just a heartbeat, and I haven't really made up my mind yet.

But Claire's next sentence allowed her to make her own decision.

The most important thing is that Erin is a girl, just like Mrs. Sophia, you are a girl.

Claire didn't mean to say what she said. Girls can have an advantage in the fight for the throne. On the contrary, because of the patriarchal society, Irene will be even more disadvantaged in this regard, and most nobles will not be optimistic.

But what Claire hit was the point in Sophia's heart. As a woman, she stood out from the fierce competition in the family, and she knew how much suffering and discrimination she had suffered. So Claire's words made Sophia feel the same, let her understand that Irene is actually the same person as her, so she should help.

This is a bit like a wealthy businessman who has worked hard from poverty, and it makes sense that he is more willing to give a chance to young people from poor background who are willing to work hard.

Now, whether in terms of interests or psychological inclinations, Claire now gives Sophia a point of view: Erin is a better choice.

Sure enough, after Sophia was stunned for a moment, she smiled, This is a very good reason, I am convinced.

But Sophia didn't agree. She shook her head slightly and said, But that's not enough. I still need to see more possibilities to win, otherwise I won't end easily.

Claire also smiled slightly and replied: There will be, give me some more time.

As long as Sophia relents, there is a chance to talk, and if there is a chance to talk, there is a possibility of success.

Then Claire stretched out her hand, So happy to work together?

Pleasant to work with.

After reaching a preliminary agreement with Sophia, Claire turned her head and walked towards the door. When she was about to go out, she didn't forget to turn her head and said, Next time I come, I hope you won't turn me out.

...

After coming out of Sophia's side, Claire rushed to the main store of the Tulip Shop, and he wanted to give Irene another boost from the Ansair family. But now Anselm is in power with Shane's father, and the possibility of getting the other party to join is not very high, but Claire wants to give it a try. If it succeeds, it will be the best.

When Claire walked to the door, she saw what Cillian and Shane were discussing.

Shane saw Claire coming over at first sight, and waved quickly: Claire, I'm looking for you!

Claire walked over in surprise. Cillian is now in the army. The army is very strict, and there should be no time to come out on weekdays.

And seeing the anxious expression on Hirian's face, Claire stepped forward and asked, What's wrong?

After looking around, Xilian said in a low voice, Let's go in and talk, it's not very convenient outside.

Claire nodded and led Cillian into the lounge in the tulip shop. This is about to become Claire's base in the capital.

After arranging the next shielding spell, Claire said, It can be said now.

Xia En also looked over with a curious expression. When he communicated with Xilian just now, he discovered the mysterious appearance of the other party. It was estimated that it was a major event.

Xilian took a deep breath and said seriously: Your Majesty is dead!

Shane was shocked when he heard it, his mouth couldn't close, and he looked at Claire in surprise.

Hirion continued: This news should not be known by very few people now. I deliberately learned the other party's language when I was in the plane of Raging Flames, so when the Raging Flame Orcs migrated away, I heard the last words of the High Priest before his death. curse.

So after returning to the capital from the plane of angry flames, I came to you as soon as possible.

Although he didn't know what impact this incident might have, Cillian felt that it was necessary for Claire to know about such a big thing.

Shane pushed Claire, Why aren't you surprised at all? Did you know it beforehand? Why didn't you tell me?

I just found out a few hours ago. Claire looked at Shane and said, I came to you this time to talk about this.

Ah? Shane didn't understand what this had to do with him.

The battle for the throne, the eldest prince Vito and the second prince Klee are now competing for the throne, and the great nobles are starting to take their seats. I want to meet your father through you.

Claire's words awakened Shane. He was still immersed in the shock of Norris' death just now, and now he thought that after Norris's death, the throne would have to consider the issue of succession.

Then he slapped his thigh and exclaimed in surprise, I'll just say it! Why did my second brother and father break up, so that's what happened?

Huh? How to say? Claire asked curiously.

Before, my second brother was closer to Prince Klee, but my father was always against it, and he was more inclined to the eldest prince. Now that it has reached this point, conflicts have erupted. A few days ago My second brother also had a big fight with my father.

After Shane said these words, Claire's eyes lit up. Originally, he thought there was no chance, but now it seems that there is a chance!
