Glory Riding and Cutting

As for why he suddenly wanted to go to Gaoling, it was naturally because Ronan felt that the best time had come. Just a few days ago, Aldridge suddenly told Ronan a big news. The current king of Gaoling, Cavendish Stu Yate fell ill, and the second prince immediately seized the opportunity to use the people he bought over the years to control the royal city, and imprisoned the third and fourth princes who were too late to escape. Only the sixth prince was killed by Aldridge and led out of the royal city. At this time is being hunted down.

The eldest prince is far away in the frontier. Although the war with the Eagle Kingdom is over, but in order to buy people's hearts, the eldest prince did not return to the royal city at that time. Unexpectedly, the second prince has already controlled the capital. The old king's illness was also the second prince's method to prevent the eldest prince from losing the best opportunity after returning to the king's city.

The eldest prince did not return to the royal city immediately, because he knew that it would be difficult to do anything back to the royal city, and he might even be intercepted halfway, so he stayed in the frontier fortress, preparing to persuade the border nobles to be loyal to him.

As for the fifth prince, because he went home with his mother to visit relatives, he escaped the catastrophe, and now he is staying at his mother's house. His mother's father is a powerful duke in Gaoling, and he is very powerful in the Northland. Keeping the five princes from time to time may not be because they want to coerce the emperor to make the princes.

For a time, the Gaoling Kingdom was in turmoil, and there was only one fuse left in the all-out civil war. The nobles were proud of their talents and did not immediately show their positions. Even if he wanted to make another prince the crown prince, he might be distorted and become the second prince.

Naturally, the other princes would not obey him, especially the fifth prince who relied on the Duke of the Northland at this time and the eldest prince who had previously led the army to support the border and held military power.

This kind of situation immediately made Ronan smell the opportunity, so he immediately decided to go to Gaoling to swim in this muddy water, and join the battle for kingship by supporting the sixth prince who is currently the weakest.

The intensity of this battle for royal power has never happened since the founding of Gaoling more than 300 years ago. After all, the previous kings would announce their heirs in advance before abdicating, and the previous battles for royal power basically happened before this. After the heir is announced, other people basically have no chance, because the succession is generally less than half a year after the announcement.

Among the previous kings, only Cavendi did not have time to announce the heir, or the second prince got the wind in advance, so he acted first, and when the powerful enemy was not in the king's capital, he suddenly burst out the power he had secretly accumulated and beat Cavendi. Caught off guard and unable to declare an heir.

But in any case, the situation has been settled, and not only these princes, Ronan also learned through Aldridge's information that many nobles who had married into the royal family also planned to win over other nobles to take the opportunity to become kings, such as Said to have married Duke Augustine, the king's third sister.

All the way unimpeded into the depths of the palace, after all, most of the people here already know Ronan, because Ronan basically comes several times a week, it is worth mentioning that Ronan finally figured out the labyrinth in the huge palace. The terrain has changed, and most of the palaces can already be found at this time.

Calculating the time, the queen should be working at this time, so Ronan went straight to the palace where the queen usually works, and saw Thesma outside the door as expected.

"Knight Sesma, please inform me that I need to see Her Majesty the Queen about something."

Sesma glanced at Ronan as usual, then turned around and entered the palace. Soon, Sesma came out.

"Follow me!" Then he turned around and led the way in, Ronan followed closely behind.

"Your Majesty the Queen!" After saluting to Queen Serena who was scribbling on the desk, Ronan explained his reason for coming.

"Your Majesty, I hope to get some time off to deal with some private matters!"

"Where are you going?"

"Gao Ling!"

"Is it related to the recent situation in Gaoling? Or do you want to go back to your father?"

"Uh, you know I'm from Gaoling?"

"Heh, how could I not investigate you before choosing you to be Sibella's guardian knight? You didn't hide your surname, so I could easily find you, the second son of Count Fernando! How did you survive?"

"After I was dispersed by the Eagle Kingdom's troops, I led some soldiers into the Jackdaw Forest. After passing through the Jackdaw Forest, I arrived at Jackdaw Town, where I met the princess."

"Does Sibella know you're leaving?"

"I haven't told her yet. After all, I can only tell her if you agree."

"Heh, you are her guardian knight, as long as she agrees! But Rodritte, I know your previous relationship, and I didn't organize you, because you are very similar to me and Dorothy Monroe back then, but also Therefore, I also disapprove of your being together, after all, Dorothy Monroe and I have ended in tragedy.

With all due respect, Rodrite, you are not even as good as Dorothy Monroe back then, no matter in terms of status or strength, how can you ensure that you and Sibella will not repeat our mistakes before? A brutal power struggle is enough to destroy everything! It is also enough to drive many people to do irrational things. If it weren't for the temptation of the throne, I would not have separated from Dorothy Monroe, and I would not have seen Sibella for more than 40 years because of this! "

"That's why I want to go back to Gaoling!"

"Go back and claim your father's title?"

"No, Your Majesty, the Earl can't marry a princess!" When Ronan said this, a golden light flashed in his eyes, his face was cold and determined.

Looking at Ronan with a stern face, listening to his resolute tone and the ambition revealed in it, Queen Serena smiled suddenly after being silent for a while, and then said: "Heh, go find Sibella!"

"Obey!" Ronan bowed again, turned and left the palace, leaving behind Queen Serena who was in silent memory.

"Let me see how far you can go, little guy!" Queen Serena suddenly murmured softly to herself, and then continued to focus on approving the files.

"Are you leaving? To Gaoling? So far?" Hearing what Ronan said, Daisy asked three soul questions with her mouth open with an incredulous expression.

"Well, I have to go this trip!" Ronan said firmly.

"Are you coming back?" Daisy was obviously a little bit reluctant, her tone was very low.

"Of course I will come back, I am your knight! And, when I come back next time, I will definitely give you a surprise, you have to wait for me!" Ronan held Daisy's hands on his chest, bowed his head Looking into Daisy's eyes, he said softly.

"Then hurry up! Otherwise, I will forget about you!" Daisy pouted, obviously still a little unhappy.

After flicking Daisy's smooth forehead, Ronan said angrily:

"If you dare to forget me when I come back, I'll swell your little head!"

"Ah! No!" Daisy said, patting Ronan's arm a few times.

The happy time is always short, and after playing around with Daisy for a while, Ronan bid farewell to the reluctant Daisy and returned to the manor to salute. He set off with a team of more than fifty guards and several non-combat logistics personnel.
