Chapter 513: princess and prince
Panda is a good man, but he is not a righteous gentleman. On the contrary, as a person in martial arts, he is very aware of the difference between close and distant relatives.
Wulin people often have "the style of being a chivalrous person". The so-called "being a chivalrous man" means that he only talks about grievances and does not ask about the law of the king. In some people's sour words, it is called "the chivalrous person uses martial arts to violate the ban"--they dare to pull the emperor. dismount. Heroes dare to gamble their own lives to fight for kindness or hatred, and die without regrets. And their style of doing things is very straightforward, and they don't pay attention to any "rules of the game" at all. The five-step blood spatter is their most commonly used technique, and the common death is their most common choice.
Although living in a peaceful and stable society, Panda is not like the warriors of the old days who only asked about favors and grievances, but to him, the latter does not have an absolute advantage over emotion and morality.
Not to mention, the character of Zion, the Black Prince, had a bad reputation in the game at the beginning, and dealing with him for the sake of his friends would not make Panda feel unethical at all.
Having said that, they have reached an important consensus: no matter whether the Marquis of Alexander Weskers will be killed by the black prince Zion, in a word, beware of the "black prince" first, and even attack him. It is necessary for him to have less ability to do things because of the power.
"Also, it's more beneficial to us," Pratt said. "After all, in politics, because of Jenny's relationship, I'm almost from the eldest princess' faction. Although the relationship between their sister and brother is still very good now, The king is young and strong and does not need to worry about the right of inheritance, but as time goes by, the king will grow old, and the succession of the throne is always a big contradiction that cannot be avoided."
The panda heard the words and nodded again and again. Pret's statement made him very agree. The so-called plan for a rainy day. Since the princess in uniform and the black prince will sooner or later fight for the right of inheritance, as a member of the princess faction, it is of course a matter of course to take advantage of the power of the prince faction. .
The struggle for the right of inheritance has always been one of the highlights of all political stories at home and abroad, and this time is no exception.
The current king of the Terrera kingdom has two children, a son and a daughter. The son's name is Zion, who is 16 years old this year; the daughter's name is Feishna, who is 17 years old this year.
After many years, they have two nicknames in the game, Zion's nickname is "Black Prince", and Fisna's nickname is "Armed Princess".
These two nicknames have their own origins. Zion often wears black armor and rides a black horse, and the whole person looks like a shadow; Fisna once wore armor in the war of Thrace's invasion of Trela. In battle, he spent many days eating and wearing on the city wall, and his armor never left his body.
Of course, there are cases of preference for sons over women in the Western Continent, but it is far less serious than that in the Eastern Continent. According to the tradition here, daughters are also heirs and have the right to inherit. Historically, queens and female lords have emerged one after another. For example, in contemporary times, the king of the mermaid family is a woman. If the mermaid is considered a special case, then the current patriarch of the Alanz family, Duke of Stormwind, one of the largest nobles in Thrace, is also a woman.
Of course, women do suffer a little when competing for inheritance rights. After all, women have to spend a lot of time and energy to give birth to children. If they want to have a stable position, it is best to give birth to more than one heir. This will not only greatly damage their own bodies, but also make it difficult to deal with complicated government affairs for several months. As a lord, it might be better, but being a king is somewhat reluctant.
Historically, queen queens are either unmarried all their lives, or they are peaceful emperors who sit back and enjoy their successes. They can be ordered to face adversity and turn the tide when they fall.
So... maybe it's not necessarily a bad thing that Eldest Princess Fesna didn't become King Terrera in the end.
"But I'm a little bit puzzled...they are barely twenty years old, and the battle for the right of inheritance has already begun to emerge? The time is not right. It's just that we traversers know the future. Does Zion also know?" Introduced by Pratt, Panda asked in puzzlement, "Didn't the battle for the inheritance between the princess in uniform and the black prince happen during the war between Trera and Thrace? There is a battle for the throne, but Zion's right of succession is still quite stable. I remember that the king and nobles changed their minds because of the great merits of the princess in defense of the city and her great prestige among the people..."
During this period of time, Prett had studied a lot of the history in the game. Hearing that, he nodded and said, "You remember right, Feisna didn't intend to fight for the throne. It's just that in the battle of the royal capital, Prince Zion had no intention of competing for the throne. The performance was not good enough, which made her worry that in the face of the turmoil and danger in the future, her younger brother would not be able to protect the kingdom, so she joined the battle for the throne with the support of a group of enlightened nobles and civilian officers... But there is nothing in the world for no reason, if she If you don't already have a certain prestige now, how can there be a future competition for the throne?"
Panda thought for a while, and felt that what he said was very reasonable. If Princess Feisna has been growing up in the deep palace, just like the princesses in stories such as "Snow White" and "Sleeping Beauty", and has nothing to do with military and politics, then during the battle of the royal capital, she Why stand up and lead the battle?
Even if she is willing to stand up, others are not willing to obey her!
In other words, although there are still several years before the battle of the royal capital, the eldest princess, Feisna, already has a certain prestige—a prestige that makes Prince Zion feel threatened.
With the method of the black prince, since he felt a threat, he must try to eliminate the threat. He can't attack his sister, but he can attack those who support her.
Especially... Judging from Pret's attitude, Panda can roughly guess that he must be very positive and clear about "supporting Princess Feishna". Before the battle of the royal capital broke out and Princess Feisna was not yet visible, he could be said to be the vanguard of the princess faction. If Prince Zion wants to strike, of course he will start with him and the people around him.
"Wait...I thought about it carefully. Could it be because of your attitude that Prince Zion attacked Alexander?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say, "You should be very supportive of Feisna. Obviously, after you married Jenny, Alexander, as your father-in-law, naturally became a princess party... So Prince Zion would attack him?"
Prett was stunned when he heard the words.
Which came first, the chicken or the egg, that is the question.
