"Shameless, so shameless. This low-ranking noble dared to do this. It's hateful, so hateful. What exactly is the country in his eyes? Like Gilbert, this guy is a thief who steals the country. No, he is more dangerous than Gilbert."

In the city of Cassia, in the palace, after the Secretary of Finance Herbert and his daughter Elizabeth completed the call, they immediately slapped the table in anger and cursed in their hearts.

Since the old king heard the King's army defeated twice a month ago, his condition has rapidly deteriorated and he went straight into a coma. During this period, he was able to wake up intermittently.

In this way, the old king was actually a financial minister who was in a cousin and the second in command of the king's sect. Herbert naturally became the temporary ruler of the king's sect, dealing with various national affairs every day, but when he really took over the old king's burden, he realized how heavy the burden was.

In just one month, this Finance Minister over 60 years old is still well maintained. His beautiful blonde hair and beard have a large area of ​​white and many wrinkles.

In this month, two people have troubled Herbert the most.

The first person was undoubtedly Gilbert. The prince who caused the rebellion has been secretly sending people to use this nobles in various places in the drum kingdom. Even many of the great nobles in the royal city have begun to reciprocate with him. As expected, many nobles have secretly changed their positions and stood on Gilbert's side.

Gilbert is only one chance now, and this opportunity is undoubtedly the news of His Majesty the King's death. Once the old king dies, the rebels' military peak, which has gradually regrouped, will definitely approach the royal city.

The second person is Maysfield, played by Buffyk. This originally inconspicuous low-ranking nobleman was able to emerge in the two wars. By gathering defeated soldiers and refugees, he became a powerful warlord in one fell swoop, making the rebels as neighbors dare not easily touch their edge.

What scared Herbert the most was that this low-ranking aristocrat had a strong governance ability and was supported by some powerful force. By gathering a large number of refugees and flexibly using refugees, his strength was getting stronger day by day.

At first, he thought that having Maysfield blocked the rebels in front was a good choice. In addition, the other party had the ability to rescue refugees, which could stabilize the turbulent and uneasy situation in the country. For this reason, he also asked the King's Navy to assist the other party to stabilize the maritime trade routes and quickly stabilize the other party's territory.

But now, Herbert discovered that Maysfield had become a local warlord who could not lose his head, and he was the kind of people who listened to the tune and not to the public.

Now that the country is in an extremely dangerous situation, the other party actually wants to lie on this critically ill country and suck blood wildly. It is really hateful to make such excessive demands.

The four demon fruits could not fill his appetite, and they wanted the title of hereditary duke and a large area of ​​land near the ice and snow town, and were not afraid of dying.

wild ambition!

Herbert has seen the wolf ambitions of the lowly noble Macefield. He is actually a traitor like Gilbert, who wants to subvert the country's regime.

"Damn, Gresham, what should I do?"

Herbert finally realized the pain and heart-wrenching feeling when the old king made a difficult decision. He held his head with his hands and looked extremely ugly.

Give!

Then Maysfield, the abominable guy, can legitimately expand his power and further strengthen the power in his hands. Maybe in the future, he will become a more deadly confidant than Gilbert.

With the way of domination shown by Maysfield in the Snow Town, if he rebels in the future, his fatality will be greater than Gilbert.

At that time, can the Kings Sect still hold on?

Not given!

The transaction of the Demon Fruit cannot be carried out normally. The King's Army is not enough to suppress the powerful people who are abominable pirates. With the shamelessness of the pirates, once they find that they are not strong enough, not to mention that the devil Fruit cannot be obtained, even the people and money will be swallowed by the other party.

Without the devil fruit to prolong his life, the old king will undoubtedly die, and the current regime of this country will be not far from death.

In fact, this is not a very difficult multiple-choice question at all. It is nothing more than a chronic death and the other is a death immediately.

Politics is an art of compromise.

Herbert quickly made a decision and said helplessly: "You were so helpless at the beginning, Gresham, forgive me."

"Dongdongdongdongdong~"

Suddenly, the door was knocked, and then the sound of the guards came.

Seeing this, Herbert immediately asked the guard's personal guard to come in. As soon as the door opened, the guard immediately ran to Herbert's ear and whispered the news.

"That's great, I'll go there right away."

When Herbert received the news from his personal guard, he was shocked, and a smile appeared on his sad face and nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the room.

Soon, Herbert came to a room with a large number of medical staff and medical machines, and then looked at the skinny patient in the room.

"Come on, Herbert."

When the patient saw Herbert, he smiled and said.

Upon hearing this, Herbert immediately grabbed the man on the bed with skinny hands, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, it's great that you can wake up at this time."

Then he turned his head and signaled to the others in the room.

After all the others in the room went out, Herbert immediately told the old king something that had happened recently.

"Maycefield, I didn't expect that he still had such ambitions. So how can he serve the people in the territory?"

Gresham heard about Buffyk's role as Maysfield from Herbert, and was silent for a long time before asking Herbert.

When Herbert heard this question, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Maysfield's disobeying orders from the central government, he still appreciated what he did. If a small half of the nobles in this country could treat the people as well as Maysfield, the situation in this country would definitely be much better.

But unfortunately, the aristocrats' thoughts were deeply rooted and most of them pursued the ritual of timely pleasure. There were only few people willing to put down their figure and care about the people at the bottom. This problem was difficult to change even when the old king Gresham was alive.

Because the old king was able to hold the throne firmly at the time, it was the result of the support of countless such nobles. Once he dared to attack these people, there would be great chaos in the country immediately.

"I understand, then I promise him the conditions. After all, the future belongs to the young people. Let them make trouble. Isn't he also a nobleman in this country? It's just that his position is different. Herbert, don't forget our vows when we were young. This country will never perish in the new era."

Gresham immediately understood when he saw Herbert's expression and sighed.

When Herbert heard the old king say this, he immediately remembered the oath he made when he was young while traveling abroad. He trembled in his heart and said with some shame: "Abide by my order, my king."

"Where is Mshuru, I heard that he is back, what's going on with him now?"

Gresham nodded after getting Herbert's answer, then thought for a while and asked with a heavy face.
