It's as if a celebrity suddenly stood up and said that he was the descendant of a certain traitor, and that he also supported the legalization of drugs. At the same time, he was pro-American and pro-Japanese. He criticized the country and pointed at the noses of thousands of netizens.
Some of the most treasonous remarks were made by revealing that he was a foreigner...
The impact of Orm's doing this is almost the same as this.
After all, the legend of the Dark Trident, which has been passed down in Atlantis for thousands of years, is basically the same as the Great Demon King.
Who would be a good person to do such a thing?
It was also because she wanted to verify the authenticity of the news that Atlanna personally rushed from the bottom of the sea to the surface. She really hoped it was false!
Even if Aum and she are not close, it is still a piece of flesh that she gave birth to. She has a problem with Aum's father and is still full of guilt for Aum. After all, it was her actions that made this child motherless since he was a child.
And since returning to Atlantis, I have also learned that Orm's father also died in depression after she was sacrificed. It is impossible to say that he does not feel any guilt towards his nominal husband.
That's so inhuman.
She never planned to abolish Orm's inheritance... She really didn't think about it. After all, Arthur couldn't become king. Not to mention what the people thought, Arthur himself didn't like Atlantis. For Arthur
He said that he had no mother since he was a child, which was caused by the weird laws in Atlantis. Why did it break the law for his father and mother to fall in love?
After all, even in the United States, after the Richard Loving and Mildred case in 1967, every state in the United States removed legal barriers to interracial marriage.
I didn’t expect Atlantis to still play this trick.
At least Arthur, who grew up in the United States, couldn't accept it. Moreover, Atlantis hated him and hated his father. This was evident from the first gladiatorial battle between Orm and Arthur. At that time,
Arthur shuddered even thinking about those insults and shouts in the arena.
Besides, Arthur himself actually quite likes his life.
What’s so good about the bottom of the sea?
He has always lived on the shore and is used to life on the shore. He likes noisy bars, racing on motorcycles, and the feeling of the sun and wind. Although he also likes the ocean, he has no intention of staying in the ocean for the rest of his life.
He himself never imagined that he would one day become king.
Atlanna never thought about severing her family from now on. No matter how deviant Atlanna was, she was still proud to be an Atlantean.
So Orm is the only heir.
Cannot be changed!
Her banishment of Orm was just a gesture!
Yes, this is a political act.
Of course she knew that many people felt that she was too harsh on Aum, and felt that she should be punished with three drinks, so she would not do it again.
But is this really the case?
As mentioned before, many people don't care about what Orm does. But not everyone, at least the Saltwater Country, the Fisherman Country, and even the Zebel Kingdom, cannot treat these things as if they never happened.
The citizens of the Kingdom of Atlantis may pretend not to know, but as the King of the Kingdom of Atlantis, you cannot pretend that these things have never happened!
Just listen to those nonsense about not being punished by drinking three drinks. If she had just let Aum go, do you believe that those weird words would have turned into a different scene?
There will never be a shortage of people looking for trouble in this world. There is no cost in arguing, and anyone can come. There are always pros and cons to a thing. The difference is that when things go in the direction they agree with, the two parties often
If you can't speak anymore, wouldn't the remaining voices be those who are dissatisfied with the development of things?
This is a bit like survivorship bias.
What you see and hear are people who are dissatisfied with this matter.
Moreover, a large part of the people who promote these rumors don't care at all about what Atlanna does. They just simply oppose Atlanna.
Don't think that the king has no opposition!
In fact, this is impossible. The higher the prestige of the royal family, the worse the situation will be for other people in the power field. Therefore, whatever the royal family supports, they will oppose it. This is not rebellion, but a power game.
.
Especially since Atlanna is back with the Neptune Trident.
This is a nightmare for other players in the power game!
Even if they are picky, they will still find trouble for Atlanna.
So Atlanna sentenced Orm harshly, in a way, it was actually to clear Orm's name. If he is exiled for ten or twenty years, who will bring this matter up in the future? After all, he has already suffered
Punished.
What more?
Is it really necessary to kill the last heir of Atlantis?
Anyone who thinks this way is absolutely treasonous.
It's like the ancient emperor issued an edict to sin against himself. Basically, whether it's ministers or others, they can no longer trouble the emperor. Because the emperor has admitted his mistake and you still hold on to it, this is not the behavior of a minister. You are like this
This is treachery!
Of course, this would make the emperor lose his prestige. After all, an emperor who makes mistakes...is not holy.
But Atlantis is not that kind of feudal society, at least not entirely.
They rely on blood to differentiate between classes... There is no way around this. Atlantis who are closer to the bloodline of Poseidon are stronger than ordinary Atlanteans. There is a physical difference. This thing is
intrinsic.
The tricks of the human world are really unavailable to them.
Therefore, the prestige will indeed be lost a little, but Aum is the orthodox heir of the eternal bloodline, and no one can deny this.
So a loss is a loss.
Not a big deal.
In addition, Atlanna wanted to train Orm, so she had this banishment.
But Atlanna really didn’t expect that Orm would run away, forget about running away, and go looking for the Dark Trident!
In the final analysis, the reason is that the mother and son are not very familiar with each other.
After all, as soon as Atlanna was born, Atlanna was sacrificed before even finishing her confinement. They were really unfamiliar with each other.
Aum didn't understand his mother's deep meaning.
Atlanna also didn't understand her son's inner pain.
So it was divided like this.
After Mela explained everything, Kai felt a little numb.
But he still quickly comforted him: "No, things are not that bad now!"
Atlanna was like a drowning person grabbing the last straw. Her eyes lit up and she grabbed Kai's arm with both hands: "Really?!!"
Rui Wen, who came to deliver tea, curled her lips!
Forget it Mela, you Atlanna...how old are you!
How shameless!
Raven met Atlanna. A long time ago, it was Athens during World War I. At that time, Ares conspired to use demons to sweep the earth and destroy the world. At that time, the Atlanteans came with their army to help, and Atlanna
Trana followed her father and participated in this war together.
Raven had met Atlanna at that time.
It's just that after so many years, Atlanna didn't recognize Raven. At that time, Atlanna was a high-ranking princess, and Raven was just a little village girl, and there was no comparison at all. Of course, even if she really paid attention,
I can't recognize it now.
Raven's appearance...well, since she awakened her ability, she has no appearance. Her original appearance is blue skin.
However, what Ruiwen said is still a bit biased.
After all, you don’t want to think about your man, who is over 10,000 years old. And you yourself are younger than Atlanna.
Kai didn't have time to pay attention to Raven's mental activities, he was thinking of excuses now.
"That's right! Now the artifact is in the hands of the Overlord, and not in the hands of Orm. How can it be said that it is Orm's fault? This is obviously the fault of the Overlord!"
Not to mention, Kai really thought of it.
He knew that if the Overlord was able to get the Dark Trident, it was definitely Orm who was behind it. Otherwise, how would the Overlord know about this thing? Not to mention the Overlord, not even Kai knew that Atlantis had such a thing.
Evil artifact.
Who else could it be if not Om?
Atlanna obviously knew it, so her eyes that were originally bright dimmed in an instant, but she still retained the innocence in her heart.
"But who would believe this when told about it? The Dark Trident has always been a secret kept by our royal family. No one except us knows the whereabouts of this artifact."
"That's right! It's just because no one knows, that's why we can fool... ah no, that's normal!" Kai felt a little pain in his balls when he saw Atlanna's expression, but at the same time he thought it was pretty good. The pain in his balls was,
You are a queen, but you have no political literacy. Shifting the blame is a necessary skill for a politician. Some people bombed other people's hospitals. It must be other people's own bombing. You can say this so easily that you treat others as fools.
, you are so stupid.
At the same time, I am also a little relieved, also because of this innocence. Although such a person makes people crazy, but at the same time, you don't need to be afraid of her harming you.
In comparison, Mela is much worse.
This woman...
Mela seemed to sense that Kai was speaking ill of her in her heart, and looked at Kai. Her eyes were moist.
This woman... is so smooth!
Kai quickly shook off the messy things and comforted Atlanna first: "Look, where is the Dark Trident buried?"
"Desert." Atlanna said honestly.
"Yes! What does this have to do with you? What does the blind excavation they dug up have to do with Orm? Besides, if you don't tell me, and I won't tell you, who the hell knows what the secret of the Dark Trident is?
Orm leaked it. As you said, only your family in the entire underwater world knows this secret, which means that other people don’t know that you have this secret, right?"
"That's right... but..."
"You want to kill Orm?" Kai actually wanted to kill Orm, but Orm's identity was too special, at least in front of Atlanna, he couldn't say this.
What kind of bastard can a person say in front of someone else's old mother about killing her son?
So, I can only say it along the way.
But what to do then depends on how Kai operates. Anyway, isn't it normal for many people to die due to accidents these days?
Kai can't do it himself, but he can outsource it to others.
Aren’t dark elves a good candidate for outsourcing? Others used to specialize in murder and arson!
Anyway, Kai doesn't care much about the succession to the throne of Atlantis.
It's amazing to have another Atlanna. Is there anything technology can't do these days?
So now you can mess around as you like.
"I..." Atlanna was a little hesitant. Honesty was important, but as Kai said, did she really watch Orm die?
Mela seemed to see through Kai's insincerity, but she did not expose it. Instead, she helped Kai speak: "Yes, Queen, we must hide this matter now!"
Mela's thoughts were the same as Kai's, she also wanted Om to die!
After all, Om is dead, so she has a chance!
Why does Mela want to have a good relationship with Atlanna? It is naturally because of interests. If Orm dies, who among the seven kingdoms is qualified to inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Atlantis?
After all the calculations, the only one is Meila.
Mela and Atlanna are relatives, and their blood relationship is quite close. Atlanna's aunt, Atlanna's father's sister, is Mela's grandmother.
There is no news at all about the Seven Kingdoms, the Mysterious Kingdom, the Trench Kingdom is full of monsters, the Saltwater Kingdom...arthropods, the Fisherman Kingdom...fish. So, the royal family of the Kingdom of Zebel and the royal family of the Kingdom of Atlantis are
It is the best choice for intergenerational marriage.
After all, the two have the closest appearance and the same aesthetics. Anyway, the royal families of the two countries have never intermarryed with those monsters.
The royal families of the two parties have been intermarrying for an unknown number of generations, and their blood relationship is quite close... everyone is a relative.
If one day the bloodline of the Atlantis royal family is cut off, the best way to prevent the throne from hanging alone is to select a successor from the nearest branch of the bloodline.
So who else could it be besides Mela?
Her status is noble.
The Kingdom of Xebel is second only to the Kingdom of Atlantis.
At the same time, Mela's reputation in the Kingdom of Atlantis is very good, and the people and nobles are very supportive of her. After all, she almost became the queen.
Most importantly, she has a very good relationship with Atlanna.
If that time really comes, Atlanna's own wishes will be very important.
It would be legal if she randomly selected someone from the collateral lineage. But instead of choosing someone else, why not choose someone like Meila who is close by blood and has a good relationship?
Mela swore that she had gone out of her way to get along with Queen Atlanna, not just for this reason. It was just that the matter had come to this, so why didn't she go further?
This is much safer than trying to get Kai's Poseidon Trident!
"The most important issue now is to recapture the Dark Trident. If you can destroy it, destroy it. If you can't destroy it, continue to hide it."
The more this time comes, the more Mela will think about Atlanna.
After all, this is how you can increase your favorability.
"As for Orm... we must find him and capture him before the incident reaches Atlantis!"
Kai was stunned for a moment and looked at Meila.
He didn't quite understand why Mela was so active.
Although there is no need to regard Mela as a bad guy, in Kai's mind, she has nothing to do with a good person.
