Although Philip was a prince, he naturally did not wear any heavy and gorgeous clothes when he was at home.
He just put on a pair of baggy gray pajamas and sat cross-legged on the bed with no image at all.
Behind him, a young girl was sleeping with her back to Philip.
As a Fu Fu believer, he will not have any descendants.
And if he has no direct descendants at his age, people will naturally be suspicious of him.
You must know that on the surface, he is not acting as a "corrupt believer"... but as a "follower of the cup-bearing girl".
As a believer in the cup-bearing woman, it is normal for his private life to be somewhat corrupt... right?
After all, he is not ugly, not old, and not fat. His baby face is not only pleasing to the eye, but can even be called cute. And his personality is also very pleasant and habitual. He can chat and like to laugh. There are many young people.
A beautiful mistress is naturally expected.
So it's not that he has no descendants, he just doesn't have a formal wife and has many illegitimate children.
But no one would have thought that... these mistresses of his were all passionate people specially selected by Philip using magical and ritual abilities, and were "bound to cheat."
In other words, all of Philip's children were not actually his biological children.
Of course Philip knew this.
--But he doesn't care.
This was even deliberately created by him in order to increase his advantage in running for the throne as a direct descendant of the royal family.
The eldest princess considered that if she got married, her status might be affected by her husband's status and position and change, thus losing her original advantage.
And the fourth prince is also famous for his Buddhist heritage.
Only one of his children, Kafni, survived, and he only had one wife. In fact...his wife was a Rofu believer, and because of this, their other children had been killed by her own hands.
This was to give Philip an advantage.
Among those children, Kaifni was ostracized because of Philip's decision.
Those royal relatives, as well as Philip's illegitimate children, would naturally form a circle. Under Philip's hint, it would be easy for them to exclude, hate, and target Kaifuni.
The reason why Philip kept Kaifuni was just for the ceremony and just in case.
Although he seems to have many descendants...but they are not of Noah's blood.
Therefore, he must leave a blood descendant of Noah to be sacrificed in the subsequent ceremony.
Although Kafni is not necessarily required as a sacrifice, it is just in case.
If the last sacrifice was missing, he would be on the verge of tears.
Because in his next plan, the eldest princess and the fourth prince must be given priority and killed at the same time - only if all the heirs are eradicated, his plan will not be hindered.
All enemies who can fight back must be directly paralyzed.
Because of this, his current plan is to deceive the enemy from behind.
The many flaws he has revealed now seem to be able to target him, but in fact they are just traps. Because even if he is attacked in these places, it will not have any impact on his plan.
For example...
...Ferdinand Geraint.
It is already taboo to secretly establish a relationship with one of the heirs of the Crow family. If he were to take the normal inheritance route, this would be enough to make him lose the right to inherit, or fall to the end of the line.
But he never thought about the possibility of normal inheritance from beginning to end.
Because what he wants is not the throne at all.
Of course Philip knew that Fufu was not a trustworthy god. His power was quite fragile, his popularity was very poor, and his character was not good.
But so what?
After He gave the gift of "Eternal Life", it would not be so easy to take it back - he was the foundation of Fufu's ritual.
Not only did Fufu not dare to destroy his power, he even had to protect Philip.
And those gods who are hostile to Fufu have no need to target him by destroying his rituals... because Fufu is too weak, so there is no need.
This made him feel more at ease.
He just hopes to complete Fufu's god-making ceremony and sacrifice all his blood relatives in exchange for eternal life.
——This is eternal life through and through.
He has touch and taste, can have fun like ordinary people, and can also experience the joy of sleeping. If he wants to become a transcendent, his path is not blocked, and he does not even have the physical decline and slow thinking like the old man.
Based on the cup-bearing woman's ritual, he was even able to achieve immortality in optimal physical condition.
By then, no throne will matter.
In other words, the throne is just a tool for him to enjoy himself.
To put it bluntly... isn't the purpose of becoming a king just for pleasure?
Is there really a royal heir who would sacrifice his life and all his energy to compete for the throne "in order to make the country more prosperous"?
But say goodbye.
At least Philip never believed this possibility.
——It’s all just for the fragrance of power.
And where does power come from?
Naturally, it is for enjoyment.
In order to achieve perfect enjoyment, immortality is the most perfect blessing.
How many emperors pursue perfect immortality? It is right in front of him, and he can reach it with his hand. Who can resist such a temptation?
——It just so happened that the previous generation of Noah’s royal bloodline had been completely cut off.
His father, now Henry VIII, is just a "child in the cup".
Henry VIII had no brothers or sisters at all.
In other words - Philip only had to sacrifice a few of his brothers and sisters.
Within three generations, apart from his father who was dying of old age, only his brothers and sisters were left.
And his own child was never born.
Every time before having sex with his lover, he would use Fufu's magic to prevent pregnancy, confident that he would never leave any heirs.
So far, everything is going smoothly.
As Eugene gradually took over the job of the Crow family, his secret friendship with "Ferdinand Geraint" was also exposed by him.
As a result, all those who might be hostile to him have basically jumped out.
All he needs to do is wait patiently until his father dies of old age and quickly kill the eldest princess and the fourth prince. Then he will be the first in line to succeed.
He can quickly kill, imprison or exile his opponents, and put his own people on the line.
Because on the surface, he has many heirs... Even from this perspective, Kaifni, who is young and has a bad popularity due to the suppression of his "illegitimate children", will not be ignored by other neutrals.
The ministers accepted it.
In this way, he will soon be able to take control of the kingdom.
He only needs to cut off the royal bloodline and castrate himself after he ascends the throne, and he can complete the immortality ritual.
His castration only meant that he was unable to have children, and it did not mean that he was unable to perform sexual activities between men and women.
This is the most perfect prospect——
Moreover, he recently gained powerful subordinates.
"——Mission accomplished, Your Highness."
Delicious Wind Goose knocked on the door and entered the house, half-kneeling on the ground.
He did not look at the naked woman behind Philip, but calmly lowered his head and saluted respectfully to the third prince Philip.
He said, handing over the box containing the head.
"As you said, I brought that man's head."
"very good!"
Philip's eyes suddenly lit up and he took the wooden box.
When he opened it, he saw that it contained a head with black lines all over its face and a faint bony horn on its forehead.
——That is the head of the fallen one called "Blood Demon".
