Chapter 610 The King's Marriage 1

In the King's study room in Jingyao Palace, a group of people are gathering here to discuss important matters.

"Your Majesty, how long do you have to wait?"

Earl Walsh Mackey, one of the important supporters of the current king, asked the Lord sitting on the throne somewhat anxiously.

"Didn't you plan it before? Marrying your sister away from the center of power in the kingdom will be good for us, good for her, and more importantly, good for the entire kingdom."

"I..." King Rodney XVIII of Aldo's tone was obviously hesitant. He rubbed his chin and said softly: "I think Catherine's opinion needs to be respected on this matter."

Earl McGee sighed and said: "Your Majesty, although she is a princess, she is still your subject. Legally speaking, she must obey your orders."

The earl looked at everyone in the room and said: "Of course, we all know that Her Royal Highness Catherine is a person who is obsessed with the law. She will definitely obey the orders of her lord and brother."

There was a chorus of agreement in the room.

"Yes, Your Highness, you can just marry her directly."

"Everyone is worried if she continues to stay in Jingyao."

"I hope you make a wise decision soon."

The most important person among them is the king's brother Eureko Rodney. He hopes that his cousin will leave Jingyao as soon as possible.

But there are also dissenting voices.

"Would doing this now irritate her subordinates?"

"The old king just passed away not long ago. It's so unkind to do this."

There were only a few dissenting voices.

While everyone was talking about it, Rodney XVIII did not respond to anyone.

"Gelder." A steady voice came from the window.

Gerd is the name of Rodney XVIII before he became king. Now there is only one person who can call King Aldo by this name - His Majesty's father, Prince Jasim Rodney.

While everyone was discussing the dispute, the prince just stood by the window and looked at the scenery, as if he was indifferent to the content of their discussion.

It was not until everyone had expressed their opinion that the prince raised his voice and called the king's name.

"Father, what is your opinion?"

Rodney XVIII looked at the prince who was still standing by the window and asked with great respect.

Prince Jassim turned around and walked slowly to the king. Rodney XVIII stood up and wanted to give up his seat to his father, but the prince held his shoulders and sat back down.

"Everyone's worries are justified. Catherine herself is trustworthy, but her supporters are an unstable force. As long as she stays in Jingyao for one day, these people will not give up and will challenge your rule. Have different aspirations.”

"But most of her supporters still hold important positions. If they are driven away one by one, it will cause instability in the royal government."

"So only by letting Catherine leave Jingyao, and far away from Jingyao, will her supporters give up and turn their allegiance to you and become the power in your hands."

Rodney XVIII said doubtfully: "Are you sure? Just letting Catherine go will make them loyal to me?"

Prince Jassim affirmed: "Catherine's departure in accordance with your order will be a signal that she is already loyal to the new king in action and will carry out the orders assigned to her by the king."

"This will be more unmistakable than any verbal oath, especially to her supporters, if their allegiance is already completely loyal to the king, what else can they do?"

Seeing that his son was still hesitating, Prince Jassim continued:

"Are you worried that someone with evil intentions will take the opportunity to cause trouble?"

Rodney XVIII nodded, "Father, you know that an entire knight order is loyal to Catherine."

The prince patted the king's son on the shoulder and conveyed his confidence to him.

"I have contacted several powerful lords near the king's territory. They will lead their troops to Jingyao to provide support for you. If someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble, then we will also take the opportunity to get rid of the clown who jumps out."

Rodney XVIII looked at him in surprise: "Did you contact the army of a foreign lord?"

The prince nodded: "Yes, my son, a king should be loyal to his own army."

"Oh, of course, it's just..."

"Just what? My child."

Rodney Eighteen glanced at everyone present and said, "Nothing."

Some things should be discussed with father in private.

He cleared his throat and continued: "In that case, Catherine is a princess and my sister after all. Which family do you think should be chosen for marriage?"

There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

"The Vernal family?"

"The Bradley family?"

"The Clifford family?"

…

Several famous families in the Aldo Kingdom were mentioned, and of course, they were all from other places.

But these nominations were rejected by the king with a shake of his head.

Finally, the king himself mentioned one - the Gleyman family of the northwest bay.

"Graiman?"

Prince Jassim chewed on the name mentioned by the king, knowing that his son favored the current owner of the family.

Before everyone expressed their opinions, he said: "I recently checked this surname. Graman is indeed an ancient family that has existed since the founding of the kingdom, but the current title is only an earl. If a direct member of the royal family is allowed to marry into this family, wouldn't it be a bit unfair to Catherine?"

Rodney XVIII looked at the prince and said: "We should focus on the future, right? Father, I think I have explained the matter of the Northwest Bay to you. It is a vibrant land."

The prince nodded, "Oh, this is the second point I am concerned about. If, as you think, there is huge potential there, the addition of a royal member with great influence will turn this potential into strength. Are you sure it won't threaten us?"

The king replied: "Earl Graman is a loyal and reliable nobleman. If he can become a relative of the royal family, he will undoubtedly become more reliable. This is very important for the royal family whose influence is now declining."

Loyal? Reliable?

A meaningful light flashed in Prince Jasim's eyes.

However, there were some things he couldn't say directly in front of so many ministers.

He patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Then do what you want. You are the king now, aren't you? But remember to keep a backup plan for any choice you make. I think you can understand this with your wisdom."

Rodney XVIII nodded, "I will, father."
