Although the eldest princess said so, her eyes eagerly looked at his father.
The man was flattered by the eldest princess's sense of dependence.
He has many children, and some of them are very capable, but none of them dare to act coquettishly like the eldest princess.
To him, the opponent is nothing more than his children and some good chess pieces that can be used.
Although this daughter had never met him before, she really treated him like a father and acted like a spoiled child.
This emotional closeness made him feel very comfortable.
He was also happy to be more tender towards this strange daughter.
So he consoled him: "Why not? Your health is not good, but it doesn't mean it can't be cured."
"If you become the ruler of this area, then you can ask everyone to find things for you that can restore your health."
"Just because your mother can't be found now, doesn't mean your father can't be found either."
"After I push you to the top, we will search together with people from both areas. Are you still afraid that we can't find anything that can extend your life?"
"Besides, he has already made up his mind. Can't he change his decision as heir?"
"The Newcomer Ceremony is about to be held, but there is no problem in changing the successor before it is held, right?"
"The invitation I mentioned only said that his daughter would inherit his throne, but it didn't say which daughter would inherit it."
"For outsiders, it won't matter which daughter takes over, so why not let you take over?"
The eldest princess lowered her eyes and said nothing, but just by looking at her expression, it was clear that he liked this proposal very much.
So the man continued.
"So now it depends on whether you are willing or not. If you are willing to cooperate with me, then I will find a way to make your mother change her decision and make you the real king of this area."
"So you do?"
This time there was another long silence, but this time the man was waiting very patiently.
About two or three minutes later, the girl lying on the bed opened her eyes, looked at the man very firmly, and told him his answer.
"I do. Father, please help me. I want that position."
"Very good. If you want this position, you have to cooperate with me and tell me how much strength you have left now and how your army is arranged. Are the helpers I left for you still there?"
Because when the spy reported to this man, all the news he gave was false, so he came to the conclusion that the power of the eldest princess was not actually much damaged, and he still held in his hand a person who could compete with the second princess.
The countervailing army and power gave him the confidence to do something here.
His daughter has been running the business here for so many years, and coupled with his own strength, it doesn't seem that difficult for the queen to change her heir.
The answer given by the princess also made him very satisfied.
"The Queen has already divided nearly 50% of the authority equally between me and my sister before this."
"At the beginning, I took over the financial power here. I placed two or three informants in the Financial Secretary here. Of course, this did not help us much in seizing power. At most, it could serve as an informant, and
There is a backup plan to stabilize the normal operation of this area."
"What is really useful is the basic police system here. After I exchanged authority with my sister, I have complete control of it."
"And the most important thing is that nearly 30% of the authority was later released. When I was released, I took over the entire back of the royal capital, as well as the military power of the three surrounding important towns."
"Actually, father, if you hadn't rushed over, if I were still in good health, this celebration wouldn't have been held so early."
"The reason why my mother gave up on me was because my body was no longer able to become a successful successor."
"Because her body can't support it for much longer."
"Father, the spies I sent out have actually told you that my mother has been experiencing some health problems intermittently since her last serious illness."
"And the protective shield on our border has been relatively fragile recently. He decided to hand over the authority here to my sister, and then went to the border army to garrison."
"The situation here really cannot tolerate any further delay."
"Why do you think my body suddenly collapsed? Father, why did the pollutants you left me cause irreversible damage to my body?"
When asked this question, the man's face was very calm, with no hint of guilt.
Instead, he asked his daughter.
"I am your father, will I still harm you? Now that I see you, I want to ask, why did you not listen to my dissuasion and use this thing in advance?"
"Did you try it secretly out of curiosity? Did I tell you that using pollutants will also cause certain damage to your body?"
"You and I don't know exactly what happened to this thing now, and there is no way you can keep it and let me take it back and study it. I heard that this thing in your house was destroyed directly, right?
Why are you so stupid? My daughter, if you even leave a specimen for me to study, maybe I can find a solution."
What he said was based on the false news reported to him by his spies, and he said it so confidently.
Anyway, the most important evidence has been destroyed, and he can blame all the reasons on the mutation of this pollutant.
No one would suspect that a father would harm his daughter who is thousands of miles away.
So the princess will easily believe his explanation, right?
The daughter opposite was really moved by his words. She sighed and continued.
"Maybe I'm not lucky enough. Maybe I wasn't born to inherit this area."
"But now, father, you tell me that my body can still be saved, and you have rekindled my hope."
"So, feel free to help me, my father asked me to be the successor of this area."
"I now entrust all the power in my hands to you, father."
"They are my closest subordinates and they are loyal to me."
"Before you arrived, they were already discouraged and lost their goals. They were discussing the way forward."
"Can I trust you? If I put them into your hands, will you make good use of them?"
