first wizarding world war.

Chapter 412: I wonder if Lord Mecklen would be willing to change his surname to Axel and become my stepson?

The old emperor had no brothers or sisters, but Axel had a large family.

It’s like Charlotte only has one brother and one sister, but the Mecklen family is a big family with at least dozens of people!

If Charlotte had any property to pass down, it might be to her daughter or her grandson, but unless she had neither, it would be unlikely to be given to her brother's children, let alone Zimmerman's illegitimate child.

Of course, the Mecklens and the Axels are not the same thing.

Charlotte whispered, "It seems he's going to the palace!"

Anne nodded.

The two of them left the table together in tacit understanding. Charlotte left behind Iver and took Anne into the carriage. The carriage followed the convoy in front and soon drove into the palace.

The Count of Brittany had long controlled the entire Strasbourg, as well as the inside and outside of the palace. Now, all the staff in the palace have been replaced by members of the Breton family.

So the prince's motorcade was stopped outside the palace.

Soon a man who looked like a butler went to negotiate with the palace guards. Of course, the Breton family's guards would not let the person go directly. On the one hand, they stopped the prince, and on the other hand, they sent someone to inform Antonio.

Antonio is now in charge of everything in the palace.

Charlotte and Anne did not follow the motorcade all the time. They got off the carriage, walked around the motorcade, and arrived in front of the palace. This time, the palace guards took one look at the two of them and let them in without even stopping them.

The old butler who negotiated the matter was furious and shouted, "Why can this young couple enter the palace at will, but our Prince Aifuri needs to wait?"

Charlotte smiled, and he also found it amusing.

Not long ago, he was just a clerk who might never have the chance to see the king in his life.

Now, he can enter and leave the palace at will, without even having to give prior notice.

There's nothing he can do about it, since he's holding Princess Anne's hand now.
As for the prince, he would soon realize that the new dynasty would be named Brittany, not Axel.

Charlotte and Anne soon saw Antonio hurrying over. He nodded slightly at them and said, "Come with me to pick up Prince Avery!"

Charlotte and Anne did not refuse this and followed Antonio out of the palace.

Antonio did not forget to explain on the way, saying: "I besieged Zimmerman with Prince Aifuri, but he was seriously injured. He should have recovered from his injuries now."

Charlotte asked curiously, "You talked about him last time, but what does he want to do? Why did he come back to Strasbourg? Is he here to seize the throne?"

Antonio shrugged and said, "I'll let him know that he's really old."

Antonio, who has the dragon-beating stick in his hand, is afraid of Zimmerman and his father, but apart from these two, no one in the empire can threaten him.

The three of them left the palace. The old butler, who was still arguing angrily, suddenly stopped talking when he saw Antonio and retreated back to the caravan.

A somewhat weak voice said, "Is that Antonio? I'm Afuri!"

Antonio was slightly surprised, and walked into the team and opened the door of a carriage. Charlotte and Anne followed behind. Charlotte looked over Antonio's shoulder and saw a pale old man. He must have been seriously injured, and his aura was indescribably weak. Antonio asked, "How could you be like this? Who else in the world could hurt you?"

After saying this, Antonio came to his senses and whispered, "Your Highness, please come with me to see my father."

After the convoy entered the palace, they were arranged to rest. Only one carriage, under the protection of Antonio, went all the way to a palace inside the palace. The old Count of Brittany had already received the news and came to greet them outside the palace.

Charlotte and Anne followed them in. Normally, outsiders would be driven away for such a secret matter, and the old Count of Brittany would not let his daughters get involved in such things. But the old Count took one look at them and acquiesced to their presence.

Prince Aifuri got off the carriage with great difficulty, and he looked very unwell.

The old earl asked him to sit on the sofa and asked someone to bring him a bottle of potion. After the prince drank the bottle of healing potion, his complexion improved a little.

The old prince's first words surprised Charlotte. He said, "Don't worry, old friend. I was not injured by Zimmerman!"

The old Earl of Brittany groaned for a moment and whispered, "I guessed it. If I meet Zimmerman, I might be able to escape unscathed, but you will probably die in battle."

This statement was said in a very arrogant manner, and it was also very disrespectful to Prince Aifuri, but the prince did not mind and said, "Yes! If I really met Zimmerman, I would definitely be beaten to death."

"I was beaten like this by Midaphis. His territory is adjacent to mine. So he led his troops to attack my territory and wanted me to submit to him. Of course I refused, and ended up being severely beaten in the duel."

"Luckily, he was only Midaphis, and he was slightly injured. I took the opportunity to lead my family to escape from the territory and return to Strasbourg."

"I probably won't be able to fight anyone for a long time."

"If I want to get my territory back, I can only place my hope on... Your Majesty."

Several people in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

Prince Aifuri did not come to seize the throne, but to seek refuge, which was very comforting. This prince was able to fight with Midaphis and although he might be worse than Antonio, he should be much stronger than the Golden Goat Hrolf. As long as such a strong man recovers from his injuries, he will be the greatest help.

Especially since Avry is the prince of the Axel family, his willingness to support the Count of Brittany can greatly increase the legitimacy of the Breton family's rule.

The old Earl of Brittany patted Avery's hand and said, "When I ascend the throne, I will certainly seek justice for the prince."

"I will help you get compensation for all your losses from Midaphis's territory."

Avery's mood improved a little. He even asked, "What are Charlotte and Anne's identities?"

When he learned that Anne was the eldest daughter of Brittany, he praised her a few words. When he asked about Charlotte's identity, the prince said cunningly: "I only have a daughter, no son. I wonder if Lord Mecklen would be willing to change his last name to Axel and become my stepson?"

This question is very difficult to answer!
For a moment, Charlotte really didn't know how to answer.

Changing surnames is actually quite common in this world. For example, Zimmerman changed his surname. Many married women also change their surnames. The only difference is that the way they change their surnames is to add an extra surname between their given names, which is very peculiar.

Charlotte's last name was Huang, but her real last name was Mecklen or Axel, he didn't really care.

But this is a political issue and is very sensitive!
