Chapter 350 King Power
Sitting on the throne, the gray-haired king, because of the pain, the muscles on his face were twisted, and he looked extremely ferocious. He made an unpleasant gasp like an aging bellows, then raised one hand and covered his mouth.
"Cough cough!" A violent cough sounded, and along with the coughing, the stench of jet-black blood splashed onto his palms. Because there was too much dirty blood, some of the dirty blood dripped onto his robe and throne. It looked very bleak.
"Father!" With a crying voice, a gorgeously dressed, less than ten-year-old girl looked at the king who was coughing up blood with red eyes. Tears were swirling in her eyes, and it seemed that they would drip down at any time.
"Don't cry, Remilia, you are the heir of the Rockman kingdom." Seeing the worried daughter, the king, who was in great pain in body and soul, tried to keep his face calm and make himself look a little better.
But the way he looks now, no matter who he is, even this young princess who is ignorant of the world knows that her father will not live long, not even today.
"I don't want to inherit the throne, I just want my father." The blue-haired little princess rushed over and wanted to hug her father tightly, just like before when she was a child. In her eyes, her father's embrace was the safest place in the world .
"Remilia, stop for me, you are the one who is about to inherit the throne, why are you so rude." King Belladine, who was sitting high on the throne, saw that he wanted to hug his daughter, his face suddenly became extremely serious , reprimanded sharply.
"Father." Seeing the middle-aged man on the throne, even though he looked haggard, but his face was still full of majesty, Remilia stood a little aggrieved. She was only a few steps away from her father. .
"Retire." Seeing that his little daughter, whom he loves most, is also his only descendant, the king, who is about to run out of oil, tucked his hands into his sleeves and clenched tightly, suppressing his own emotions. mood.
He can't let his daughter touch him, touch his body that has run out of oil and is actually supported by his robe, and he can't let his young daughter worry about him.
"Just stand there, I have something to explain to you."
"Father, can you hold me and talk to me."
"No." The king, whose fingernails had sunk into his flesh, rejected his daughter's request, "Remilia, you, who are about to ascend the throne, can no longer be willful."
"I don't want to be king." The little princess burst into tears.
"But you have no choice." The timeless King Belladine sighed, "Your brother,
Sister, they were all murdered by those rebels, and you are the only one of my descendants. The whole country, and only you have the right to inherit. "
Belladine didn't explain the nonsense of how to become a kind of king. He was a failed king himself, and he was not qualified to teach his descendants at all. Moreover, he has already made plans, so he doesn't need to ask too much, what should be arranged has already been arranged.
Just before the end of his life, he was looking for his youngest daughter to perform the duties of a father. After chatting with his daughter for a long time, he summoned the court attendant through the communication ring in his hand.
"Go and inform all the ministers in the royal capital, the nobles with titles above the earl level, and let them enter the palace and meet the next king of my Rockman Kingdom."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The chamberlain looked at Princess Remilia, who was standing in the center of the hall, with a complicated look, which contained many emotions. It is not a good thing to inherit the throne of the Rockman Kingdom now. It will be under unimaginable pressure, and the slightest carelessness will lead to death.
Not long after, high-ranking nobles and ministers came one after another and entered this hall, which symbolized the highest power center of the Rockman Kingdom. Order.
At this time, almost no one would put on airs to deliberately delay time and challenge the majesty of this king. The king who is dying is a sick lion, and no one wants to try what the consequences of angering him now will be.
Belladine, this unqualified king, when these nominally obedient subjects entered this hall, only did one thing, he made his youngest daughter Remilia stand beside him, Then looked coldly at these guys who looked very respectful.
He knew that among this group of seemingly respectful guys, there must be someone who could not wait to fall to the ground and die immediately. In the current Rockman Kingdom, there are too many ambitious people coveting the throne under him.
His current state is the best proof. He was in his prime, but now he needs to rely on medicine to maintain his life. Even so, he doesn't have much time to live.
Not only that, in the past few years, nearly ten of his heirs have died one after another due to various "accidents". Now, only Remilia, who has never left the palace, is still alive among his descendants.
This situation made him angry, but helpless. In the entire Rockman Kingdom, there are now fourteen legends, of which only five will obey the royal family, and the rest are all great nobles.
But fortunately, the royal family with five legendary members is still the most powerful force in the Rockman Kingdom, so no big noble dares to rebel against the royal family on the bright side and openly rebel.
But this situation also made the king angry. Although the royal family still possessed the most powerful force, it did not occupy an absolute advantage and lost the absolute right to speak at the beginning of the country.
He no longer has the confidence to lift the table, so even if his own blood descendants are killed one after another, the king can only endure it and can't follow his own thoughts.
"Your Majesty, everyone has arrived." When the hall was filled with nearly fifty high-ranking "big men", the servant who went out to convey the order came to the king and said respectfully.
Belladine waved his hand and asked the servant to step back, then looked down, and said his decision to the courtiers who seemed to be respectful:
"Starting today, Remilia Scarlet is the Queen of the Rockman Kingdom."
"Your Majesty, is this too hasty?" A court earl couldn't help but say aloud after hearing Bellardion's simple announcement of Remilia's succession to the throne.
"It's not a formal succession, Remilia is too young now, she can be crowned king, but she can't control the authority of the king. She has no ability to manage the Kingdom of Rockman.
So before she has the ability to run the country and officially inherit the throne, I need a being who can temporarily manage the Rockman Kingdom for my daughter. "
