No matter which choice it was, it would be beneficial to the Adventurer's Guild and the Luas Empire.
They were in cahoots!
The Soaring Dragon Tribe was expressionless, but they were gritting their teeth.
"Everyone, please listen to me."
At this moment, the Grand Preceptor, Graham, stood up and spoke. Many officials couldn't take it anymore after being bullied to this extent. General Xia wasn't here, otherwise, he would be the first to rush out.
Since the generals weren't here, the situation was already chaotic.
"Please speak, Lord Regan."
Layle said calmly.
Graham nodded at the prince and said in a low and magnetic voice, "Everyone, regarding the matter of the Second Prince inheriting the throne, I believe that he has the legal right to do so. According to the ancient tradition of the Dragon Boat Empire, when the Second Prince won the battle for the right of succession, he was already designated as the next king. This was something that happened before he became a Hero. Everyone here is well aware of this. "
Everyone nodded.
This was a huge matter, and everyone knew about it.
"Indeed, but according to the Hero Law, after he became a hero, he must voluntarily give up his right of succession."
"Is that true? Lord Phoenix, please tell me the original words of the Hero Law regarding the King and the Hero. "
"The Hero cannot participate in or interfere with any disputes of the King. Under no circumstances is he allowed to inherit the throne, nor is he allowed to threaten the Royal Family to obtain the King's power."
When Layle said this, a group of people below the stage sighed and expressed their dissatisfaction in low voices. Not to mention Hero White and the Seventh Hero Klaus' actions in the Kalis Empire were worthy of investigation. Hero Gianna of the Ophiuchi Empire was even known as the Queen of Ice. Her authority was no different from that of the King. Hero Longevity of the Rhode Island was the leader of the sect. Wasn't that also a kind of King's position?
They didn't openly call themselves Kings, but in fact, they had already broken the boundary. They were obviously targeting the Dragon Boat Empire.
"Shameless!"
"Take care of your lover first!"
"This is contempt for the Dragon Boat Empire, contempt!"
The words of the officials provoked the Second Prince. He had been waiting for this moment since he was born. Wasn't he waiting for the moment to sit on the throne?
But why! Why did the heavens want to go against him? Why did so many people want to defy his will?
The Grand Tutor laughed and said: "Obviously, none of you have studied the rules of the Hero Law. Indeed, it does not allow the Hero to become a King, but I want to ask everyone here, does the Hero Law forbid the King from becoming a Hero?"
His tone changed, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.
This sentence made Layel's heart skip a beat. Could it be that he was thinking of …
Grand Preceptor Graham turned around, his clothes fluttering in the wind. He raised both his hands and faced everyone. His eyes were like torches as he said sternly, "From the moment His Royal Highness won the succession battle, he became King! This is the sacred inheritance system of the Dragon Boat Empire! No one can interfere with our sacred laws. "
"That's right!"
"This is the rule of our empire! You don't need to listen to anyone! "
The ministers took the opportunity to shout.
The second prince smiled as if he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw. He would not let go of this opportunity. These three people had no right to take away his crown! This was his empire!
"My position as the King is only right and proper! If it does not conform to the rules, my father will not give the throne to me. This is the attitude of the Dragon Boat Empire's royalty. Anyone who opposes it will be seen as a declaration of war against the Dragon Boat Empire! "
He said loudly so that everyone could hear him. When they heard the word 'declaration of war', many ministers shrank their heads.
Civil war?
The Demon Race was in front of them. If a civil war broke out, it would be very bad.
Layel frowned. The second prince saw this as his victory.
However, he could never guess what Layel Phoenix was thinking at this moment.
She was not afraid of whether the Flying Dragon Tribe could become the King of the Dragon Boat Empire. She was afraid of the man behind her.
The Seventh Hero, Klaus, or more accurately, the Demon King, Richard Klaus, was the person she was most afraid of. If the Flying Dragon Prince broke the Hero Law, then he could directly become the King of the Kalis Empire. At that time, his power would not be restricted by human laws.
The combination of royalty and the Heroes would give birth to an uncontrollable monster. This was not a good thing for humans. Layel was not biased towards the royalty. However, she had to admit that the existence of the royalty was necessary. Without them, the Empire would be in a state of disunity. The Heroes already had power that surpassed humans. If they had power, the balance would be broken.
The Heroes were the core strength to fight against the Demon King. When needed, they would stand at the front and lead the army to face the enemy.
However, the Heroes were also humans. They would be afraid of death and would be timid. Therefore, they needed courage and a push from behind. Therefore, the human society would praise the Heroes and make them into saints. The Heroes would cherish this title. They would enjoy a reputation that even the King would not be able to enjoy.
Behind this reputation and treatment, there was pressure. If the Heroes were to retreat when they were needed, then they would face the consequences of losing their reputation. They would be cursed by everyone and would be wanted by all Empires. Everyone would speak ill of them, and in order to ensure that their reputation would not be tarnished, the other heroes would participate in the hunt and bring them to justice.
Therefore, the royalty would control the Heroes. Humans needed the Heroes.
However, if the Heroes suddenly became royalty, then … the Heroes would not need to go to the battlefield. As long as they became the King, they would not need to be afraid of such an outcome. They would enjoy the benefits of being a Hero and also the royalty. Unless they lost their royalty, they would not be willing to go to the battlefield.
This was a situation that had to be avoided no matter what. This concerned the survival of humans!
Layel frowned. She tried her best to calm herself down. Beside her, Princess Wight would think of ways to seize the throne if the Flying Dragon Special Forces became the King. She would also claim that as long as the Flying Dragon Special Forces' Prince did not personally go to the battlefield, she would not go to the battlefield either.
As for Gianna and Changsheng, it was even more difficult to predict.
Although Layel brought many people with her, at this moment, she felt that she was fighting alone. She felt helpless.
What should she do? What should she do?
"Please wait!"
At this moment, an uninvited guest barged in. Everyone turned around and saw a mysterious woman in a long robe walking in. She slowly took off her robe and revealed a face with two different colors.
At this moment, the Flying Dragon Special Forces looked as though he had seen a ghost. His eyes widened and his face turned pale. He muttered the woman's name, "Long Xing?"
