The Marquis of Bracken did not expect Sean to be so straightforward and revealed his thoughts on the spot.
After being stunned for a while, Marquis Bracken came back to his senses and said quickly: "Congressman Sean, no matter what benefits the fourth prince has promised you, I believe that the eldest prince can give you better."
"better one...."
Sean sat under the sunlit window, his body bathed in the sunlight, and a smile appeared on his lips: "You seem to have misunderstood something."
"Misunderstand?"
"The reason why Congressman Nishijima supports His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince instead of the First Prince or the Second Prince, there are actually not many complicated reasons."
After a pause, Sean suddenly asked: "I wonder if you still remember the Great Famine ten years ago?"
The Great Famine in the West Island caused a horrific disaster that nearly halved the population of the West Island. However, there were strong political factors behind the disaster.
Hearing Sean mention the Great Famine, Marquis Bracken opened his mouth and said: "That incident has passed, and now the West Island has returned to normal life..."
"I clearly remember that when the Great Famine was at its worst, I returned to the West Island with relief grain purchased from abroad, but was stopped at the pass."
Sean interrupted Marquis Bracken and recalled: "At that time, those soldiers forcibly seized the grain on the grounds that the grain had not been registered and tax paid..."
"When I returned to my hometown, I passed by a farmhouse, and the smell of meat wafted out of it. Curious, I walked in. There were 6 people in the farmhouse. They were unkempt, surrounded by a pot with meat cooking in it. The Great Famine
It was not easy to eat meat during this period, I thought they slaughtered an animal..."
"It wasn't until they saw me panicking and trying to cover up something that I realized something was wrong."
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Sean narrowed his eyes in the lingering mist and said slowly: "I will never forget that scene. In a dark, stinky farmhouse, six skinny and shapeless people looked like ghosts.
The man huddled up and looked at me with fearful eyes. I didn’t know what to say. I was wearing expensive clothes at the time, and a silk scarf could buy hundreds of pounds of wheat!”
"I bought relief food to save my compatriots, but the food could not enter the West Island at all... It was you who blocked the trade channels in order to prevent low-priced food from entering the West Island and harming your interests! It was you,
Forbid the West Island to sell grain to foreign countries, and suck the blood of the West Island people in the form of slavery! It is you who use expensive land rents to make farmers can only grow potatoes with high yields to satisfy their hunger. The potato disease struck, causing nearly half of the
The population dies!”
"I..."
"You haven't apologized to me yet!"
Sean stared at the Marquis of Bracken, his eyes filled with anger...even hatred, which was completely different from his usual gentle appearance.
"Sorry..." Marquis Bracken still compromised.
"I accept your apology, but it's not my business to forgive you."
Sean relaxed and sat on the sofa. He returned to his lazy appearance. He waved his hand and said, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has eased the conflict between us. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here. Instead, I would be here."
Be independent in every possible way.”
"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince's kindness, kindness and kindness can dilute hatred. We don't believe in anyone but him."
"Go back with your so-called sincerity. The conflict between the East and West Islands cannot be solved by money. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is different from you. He will never collude with you. This is also the monarch we choose to follow."
monarch...
Marquis Bracken took a deep breath. From the moment Sean said the word 'monarch', he knew that Sean would never compromise with them.
The so-called benefits seemed to be an insult in Sean's eyes.
This hatred...
The Marquis of Bracken thought of Princess Sophia who was assassinated, which was also the pain in Arthur's heart. Sean followed Arthur, which may be the salvation of people with the same disease.
The West Island where the great famine occurred...is simply a terrifying machine of hatred!
The contradiction between the East and West Islands can never be reconciled unless...
Arthur becomes king!
Marquis Bracken took the agreement and left dejectedly. Before leaving, Ma Wei felt the gaze coming from behind him. He turned around and met Sean's eyes. Sean smiled, as if to express something.
Ma Wei is a native of the West Island, and in Sean's eyes, he is certainly one of his own. The Church of Truth founded by Ma Wei is of course also a local sect in the West Island.
Suppressing local sects and exploiting local people, resulting in the death of nearly half of the population....
I have to say that the elements of the good things the Kingdom of Windsor has done are basically in place.
With the attitude of giving it a try, after leaving Sean Rickman's villa, Marquis Bracken visited several Labor MPs one after another in an attempt to gain their support, but the result was the same as Sean Rickman's.
Sternly refused.
A few grumpy congressmen even kicked them out of the door.
This incident was reported to the eldest prince who was waiting for news. After the second prince and several others, as expected, the eldest prince became furious and insulted Nishida with the most vicious words.
But what's the use?
It's just a mouthful.
"Charles! Labor MPs are unwilling to accept the conditions we offer, what should we do now!"
The second prince was a little panicked: "Sean Rickman actually called Arthur the monarch they follow! If this continues, we may not be able to deal with Arthur who has the support of Xi Dao!"
The Church of the Three Destinies will not help them in this matter.
West Island has always been a land that the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny wants to set foot in. Although they have established a church here, the road to evangelism has always been difficult. The people of West Island would rather believe in the Church of Truth, which was just established a few years ago, than accept fate.
The priest of the Three Goddess Church gave a sermon.
The seeds of hatred take root and sprout in the hearts of every West Islander, and Arthur is the best candidate to eliminate hatred. If things go on like this, the throne will definitely be his!
"I have two methods."
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The eldest prince said with a gloomy face: "At this point, we can no longer prevent the rise of the Labor Party, and the workers' alliance has also gained momentum. So, if we want to win
The only way to get the throne is from Arthur or my father."
"What do you mean?" The second prince frowned: "What do you want to say?"
"What do I mean?"
The eldest prince glanced at the second prince and sneered: "Since the problem cannot be solved, then solve the person who created the problem! Do you still want the throne? If so, then kill Arthur!"
"Are you crazy?!"
The second prince stood up in shock: "Father said, we can't do anything to our brothers! What's more, Arthur has the support of the people in the West Island. If we kill him, isn't the West Island going to rebel?!"
"Yes." Third Prince Andrew said solemnly: "The Church has always wanted to control the West Island. They have been preaching in the West Island for many years. If Arthur is killed and the West Island rebels, the Church will definitely find someone to calm down the anger of the West Island people.
The mastermind behind it is revealed... No one can escape then!"
"Even if we do it very secretly and the church doesn't find out the real culprit, the West Island will still be in turmoil! It is the king's duty to maintain the stability of the territory!"
"What you said makes sense." The eldest prince nodded: "Arthur's identity is very important. He is the link to maintain the stability of the West Island. As long as he lives, the people of the West Island will not rebel, so... we need to
Start the king election in advance."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Start the king election in advance... Rhodes IV is still alive, how to start the king election?
Only when Rhodes IV dies will a new king ascend the throne!
"Asshole! Charles! What on earth do you want to do?!" The second prince pointed at the eldest prince's nose and yelled: "You want to assassinate my father?!"
"How could the assassination of father be successful?" The eldest prince shook his head: "Calm down first. Father is surrounded by people from the church. The realm of immortality has been open for a long time. Who can kill him? Use your brain, okay?"
"Then how to start the king election in advance?"
"I heard that in the Voodoo Kingdom, there is a taboo potion called Soul Potion, which is highly poisonous to the soul. If I can buy some back, I can add a little to my father's food every day. With my father's current physical condition, it will not
The bed will collapse after a month and I won’t be able to leave. Naturally, I won’t be able to deal with government affairs. By then...shouldn’t a new king be elected?”
The Adam's apple squirmed, and the second prince looked at him dumbfounded, a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He never imagined that his elder brother could be so cruel and ruthless!
For the throne...
Even the biological father can poison!
It’s simply heartbreaking!
"Who will benefit the most from forcing the king election?" Andrew suddenly spoke: "Both of you have a chance, but I am the only one who can't be the king now. My father is very good to me, and I don't agree to give him a chance.
poison."
"Andrew, are you willing to let the throne fall into Arthur's hands?"
"Charles, don't fool me with such nonsense. I would rather quit than let Arthur be the king, poisoning is a dishonorable and dirty method!"
Andrew stood up, spat on the ground, and sneered: "As a politician, you are very qualified, but as a son, you are simply rebellious!"
After saying that, Andrew turned around and walked out of the living room, leaving resolutely. But as soon as he reached the corner of the corridor, he was knocked unconscious with a stick. Then, the figure who attacked him took out a bottle of magical pills and poured it into his mouth.
.
The invisible spirit flew out and entered Andrew's body.
In the living room, the second prince also felt that the eldest prince's plan was too ridiculous. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the eldest prince say: "Shukri, do you want to leave like Andrew?"
"What's the use of me staying?" The second prince asked strangely: "Andrew, who knew the plan, has left. As long as you take action, he will definitely leak the poisoning..."
"Andrew will keep it a secret, and I will shut him up." The eldest prince smiled: "The key is you, Shukri, this is the last chance for you and me. Are you ready to let Arthur become the king, or are you going to fight to the death with me?"
How about a try?"
The second prince pursed his lips and said nothing.
He didn't want to poison his father. This kind of behavior was too bad. Even he was under great psychological pressure. But what Charles said was right. If he continued, the king must be Arthur's...
"From the beginning, my father never wanted to pass the throne to us."
The eldest prince said faintly: "It was he who sent Arthur to the West Island, allowing him to gain the support of the West Island nobles; it was he who transferred Arthur back to London and returned to the center of power; it was he who founded the Educators Association.
Let Arthur become the president...This is all a game. Shukri, you and I are just his father's pawns. His favorite has always been Princess Sophia, and his favorite son has always been Arthur. Let's
They were all deceived."
"As for father, he won't die, he will just lie in bed for a while, which can be regarded as some punishment for him."
His body trembled slightly, and the second prince seemed to have made up his mind. He took a deep breath and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"The current situation is not too bad. As long as the king election can be started in advance, there is a high probability that a new king will be born between the two of us..."
The eldest prince licked his lips and glanced at Ma Wei, who was silent all the time: "I need to use the relationship of Manstein Potion Company to purchase the soul potion from the Voodoo Kingdom."
"Why do we need Manstein's Potion Company to come forward?" The second prince asked doubtfully, "Can't Bracken's Potion Company do it?"
"I just said that the soul potion is a forbidden potion of the Witch God Cult in the Voodoo Kingdom. It is not sold to the outside world. You can only buy it through special channels."
The eldest prince said: "The influence of the Bracken Potion Company is limited to the Kingdom of Windsor and there are no special channels. However, unlike the Manstein Potion Company, Nicholas has a wide range of contacts and it is not difficult for him to buy a bottle of soul potion.
"
After pondering for a moment, the second prince turned to look at Ma Wei: "Nicholas, can you buy the soul potion from the Witch God Cult?"
"it should be OK."
The personnel of the Church of Truth have already established a line with Saladin, and the Witch God Sect has also agreed to unite with the small churches on the Southern Continent and the East Road to fight against the giant alliance established in the Central Continent. With this important relationship, buying a bottle of soul potion is not a big problem.
"Then it's decided." The eldest prince smiled: "After Nicholas buys the soul potion, the next thing will be left to me. I will order people to poison his father's food until he is bedridden and unable to handle it.
In terms of government affairs, Shukri, it is up to you to initiate the election of a new king."
"why me?"
"Because I was the one who administered the poison. Although the soul potion is a chronic and highly toxic substance that is difficult to detect, the church will definitely launch an investigation afterwards. Anyone who proposes to start the election of a new king will be investigated intensively. In other words, poisoning and proposing an election will be investigated
They cannot be the same person, do you understand?"
The eldest prince emphasized his tone a little more: "If you don't want to be the proposer, you can let me do it, but accordingly, you will be responsible for poisoning my father's food. You choose either poisoning or proposing an election."
"I..."
The second prince pondered for a moment, and finally sighed: "I will propose the election of a new king. Poisoning my father is still a bit unbearable."
