"Huh?" Li Huailin was speechless. What was going on? Since when did I say I wanted to marry you? However, before he could retort, Sword Saint Dashe suddenly interjected.
"Hmm …" Sword Saint Dashe nodded slightly, then said, "Logically speaking, there really isn't a problem."
Sword Sage Dashe's impression of Li Huailin was off the charts. The more he looked at this young man, the more he liked him. Moreover, Li Huailin had just slapped him a dozen times yesterday. He was indebted to Li Huailin and his character was passable. In comparison, Sword Sage Dashe didn't think much of Li Huailin. Hence, after some consideration, Li Huailin's royal family was dead. Although Li Huailin wasn't a member of the Zoyle family, as long as Li Huailin married his granddaughter and had a child, wouldn't he become a member of the Zoyle family? There was no problem at all.
"What! Sword Saint Dashe, you … "Delano was shocked. What was going on? It seemed like a joke, but Sword Saint Dashe actually nodded. This was simply a joke." How can this person inherit our kingdom's throne? This is ridiculous! "
"Huh?" Li Huailin immediately turned around. "What did you say? Do you believe that I won't ask someone to kill your entire family? "
"Huh?" Delano was stunned at first, but then he suddenly remembered Li Huailin's other identity. He was the Nasser Empire's Duke of Aquitaine. This guy was famous for his ruthlessness. Let alone the Prime Minister of a small kingdom, he could even kill large kingdoms like the Orcs and the Dwarves. Delano didn't know how to react at first, but now that he thought about it, he quickly took a step back.
Naturally, Hilda saw Delano's retreat. She smiled and said to Delano, "Prime Minister Delano, do you have any more questions?"
"But … this is the Nasser Empire's Duke of Aquitaine. How can he become our kingdom's king? This doesn't make sense. " Delano persisted. After all, the throne was right in front of him. Even though he was a little afraid of having his entire family killed, he still had to fight for it.
"There's no rule that states that a person can't become the king of another kingdom while retaining the title of Duke, right?" Hilda said.
"Yes." Sword Saint Dashe also nodded, "Indeed, there is no precedent. The ancestor of the Zoyle Family was like this. He was both the King of Rodaphne and the Marquis of the St. Rankoda Empire. I don't think there is any problem."
"Wait, wait …" Li Huailin pulled Hilda over and whispered, "Hey, what are you doing? I really don't want to be your king. I don't like such a small country at all. It's too troublesome to take care of it."
"There's no other way now." Hilda also said in a low voice, "If Prime Minister Delano succeeds in ascending the throne, we'll never be able to change the current situation. Since you're here, it must be God's will. No matter what, you have to help us this time."
"This …" Li Huailin still wanted to say something, but Hilda interrupted him.
"Don't worry. You can just assume the title of King and leave all the administrative matters to me. Just treat it as your order. All we need is a title," Hilda said.
"Oh?" Speaking of this, Li Huailin understood. He could just let the Revolutionary Army do whatever they wanted. After all, he didn't care what the country would become.
"What do you think?" Hilda asked.
"Can I not get married?" Li Huailin asked after some thought.
"Do I look ugly?" Hilda asked with a frown.
"Ugh … you're not ugly," Li Huailin said. "But I have a wife at home."
"What's the problem? What does it matter how many wives a duke has? "Hilda asked curiously.
"Uh …" Li Huailin couldn't start from the topic of monogamy. It would be too troublesome. Besides, how could the people here understand? So, he thought about it and said, "My wife is very fierce. She's even scarier than me. She's the kind of person who would kill an entire family. If she finds out that I've found another woman here, I'll be fine, but she might destroy your entire country."
"So fierce?" Hilda's expression became serious. "Why would you find such a wife?"
"I … I like her. Can't I?" Li Huailin facepalmed.
"Ugh … what a strange taste." Hilda nodded. "Let's do it this way. After you level up, try to hide our relationship as much as possible. I'll also delay the wedding a little. Maybe before the wedding, I can deal with all the people in the country who support preserving the privileges of the Zoyle family. Then, we don't have to hold the wedding."
"Are you saying that we don't really have to get married? I just need to give you some time to gather all the people in your country who oppose the Zoyle family's privileges, abolish the Zoyle family's privileges, stabilize the country, and then I can leave?" Li Huailin asked.
"That's right." Hilda nodded. "Please help us."
"Ugh …" Li Huailin thought for a moment. In general, it seemed that he didn't have to do anything at all, and he could get the title of king. Although he didn't know what the use of this little king title was, it didn't seem like a loss.
"Okay." After thinking about the benefits, Li Huailin nodded. "I'll be king."
"Ahem." After that, Li Huailin cleared his throat slightly, then said to the group of people next to him, "Well, now I am the new king of Rodaphne. Is there anyone who objects? Step forward now. If there's no one, kneel down and salute me."
"Greetings, Your Royal Highness." Hilda, who was next to him, was naturally the first to kneel. When everyone in the Revolutionary Army saw that their leader had knelt down, they, of course, knelt down without any questions.
Now, less than half of the people on the stage had knelt down, while those who were still standing were on the ministers' side. They still hadn't figured out how things suddenly changed 180 degrees. How did the Duke of Aquitaine become their new king? What the hell is going on?
"Why, do you all have an opinion?" Li Huailin glanced at the few people who were still standing, then raised his voice slightly. "Are you all not afraid of me now? You will only listen to me if I call my people over. Do you believe that I can wave my hand and turn this whole country into a ghost country within a week? "
This threat was too blatant, but the effect was also outstanding. Some ministers were so scared that their legs went soft and they knelt down. However, there were still about a dozen ministers who refused to agree. They stood in the same place and didn't move.
"Someone, drag these guys out of the door and kill them." Without saying much, Li Huailin waved his hand and said.
The guards next to him didn't move at all. They didn't know what was going on, nor did they know who to listen to. However, Hilda was the first to react. She said to the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army behind her, "What are you waiting for? We are all members of the palace guards now. Quickly obey the king's order. "
"Oh, yes!" Hearing Hilda's words, several soldiers of the Revolutionary Army walked up and grabbed the ministers who were still standing there.
"Let me go. You can't do this. I am the Minister of Internal Affairs …" One of the ministers struggled frantically.
"So what?" Hilda stood up and said, "This is the king's order. Put him in prison …"
"Shut up my ass. Just kill him," Li Huailin said from the side.
"That won't do." Hilda whispered to Li Huailin, "This is the Minister of Internal Affairs, Vince. He is also a relatively upright official. During his term of office, he also did a lot of good things for the people. If you kill him now, it may cause resentment among the people. Now, they haven't confirmed your identity. We must first create a fait accompli, and then slowly deal with these stubborn people."
"A good official who is widely loved by the people?" Li Huailin asked.
"Well, yes." Hilda nodded and said, "So we'd better lock him up first."
"No, it's him." Li Huailin said, "He actually dares to be a good official in my territory. He simply doesn't want to live. Right here, directly behead him, and then hang his head on the city gate for three days. At the same time, kill his entire family."
Li Huailin said this in front of everyone, so the surrounding commoners heard it clearly. They didn't care who the new King was, as long as he treated them well. They didn't expect that the King would kill the official who treated them the best as soon as he took office, and even wanted to kill his entire family. Immediately, a trace of warmth appeared in their hearts.
"Good!" A civilian couldn't help but shout, "Long live the new king!"
"Long live the new king!" "Long live the new king!"
There was no need for anyone to say anything. The surrounding civilians' emotions were instantly ignited, and they spontaneously began to shout "Long live the new king."
"Well, I didn't choose the wrong person." Sword Saint Dashe also nodded slightly. He had made the right choice. He had just ascended to the throne, and he had already done a good deed for the people. Sword Saint Dashe also insisted on his own view.
"Huh?" There was no change in Hilda's favorability, and it was the same for the Revolutionary Army. They didn't understand what was going on with these civilians. What was there to cheer for? Weren't they supposed to rebel instantly?
"Well." Li Huailin nodded with satisfaction. "And these few guys who are still standing, whether they are good or bad, kill them first, then confiscate their houses. From now on, I, the new king, will take you to show off and fly. "
