Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 649 Black Humor
Wendy is not even twenty years old this year, although everyone admits that General Lion's granddaughter is indeed very capable and her ability as a military strategist in war is quite good.

But it is really too far-fetched for such a young person to become the prime minister of the kingdom.

Even the youngest prime minister of the kingdom of Lakshurya is almost thirty years old this year, and he has been ridiculed by other countries for a long time, thinking that the Lakshurya Demon Kingdom has no talents.

Now the boomerang has hit itself on the head. We now have a prime minister who is less than twenty years old.

Age is not the only factor that determines ability, but it is an important criterion for judging experience and character.

As the saying goes, a young man with no hair on his face cannot do things with confidence. This is not to mock young people, but to say that people who are too young lack experience and are not calm enough.

A person's mentality at different stages when he is a teenager, young adult, middle-aged and old is completely different. This subtle change is difficult to detect by oneself, but it is very obvious to outsiders.

As a young prime minister who is less than 20 years old, can she really do this well?

So as soon as the appointment was announced, there was an immediate buzz of discussion, but since it was a succession ceremony after all, the discussion was kept within the scope of not affecting the ceremony.

Wendy herself knew very well how big the obstacles would be. If she was willing to wait for twenty years and then be appointed prime minister, no one would say a word. She was really too young now.

But she had to do it even though she was young, because Viola was not confident in handing over the duties of prime minister to someone else.

Avarus had actually been destroyed for a year. The original ministers were either killed or chose to surrender. Now they are being purged by Viola. Although many mature and prudent nobles have recommended themselves openly or secretly, Viola is not confident in them.

The Demon Kingdom of Avarus was not a monolithic entity. Originally, there were certain contradictions between the local nobles and the central government, but these contradictions were temporarily put aside in the face of a powerful enemy.

If other local nobles are appointed at will, the power of the local nobles will be increased, which is not conducive to domestic stability.

So after much consideration, I chose Wendy.

And there is a reason for choosing her. Besides being the most competent, Wendy's hometown, Qihang City, has also made the greatest contribution to the restoration of the country.

Viola originally had only 2,000 soldiers, but now it has snowballed into tens of thousands, which is inseparable from the support of the Sailing City. Moreover, before the capture of Kaimen City, the daily expenses of Viola's army were also borne by the Sailing City.

It would be unreasonable not to reward him properly for such a great contribution.

Wendy's canonization caused quite a bit of discussion, but apart from that, no one commented much on the canonizations of others.

For example, Greta, the daughter of Count Fran, continues to control the Kaimen City.

According to the laws of the kingdom, nobles who hold positions such as lord of a city must have titles, so she was additionally conferred the title of lord.

For example, Nemea was also made a lord because of his outstanding performance.

Shelley, one of the royal guards, was appointed as the defender of the City of Silver and was also given a non-hereditary title.

Everyone had expected this kind of trivial matter of conferring nobility and titles. No matter what Viola wanted to confer, it would be fine as long as it didn't affect her own interests.

The local nobles are like this. As long as Viola doesn't reduce the power of the feudal lords, they will never care about who Viola appoints to what position.

This part did not cause any further waves. After reading the long letter of appointment from beginning to end, it was indeed the most shocking thing that Wendy became the prime minister.

This order is not random, nor is it based on reward according to merit.

People all like to compromise, and this is the same everywhere. With the precedent of Wendy being appointed prime minister, no one will pay attention even if the next appointment is a bit outrageous.

In any case, once the list is read out, the rewarding process will be over.

According to the procedure, everyone just needs to kneel on one knee and swear allegiance, and the main part of the ceremony is over. What remains is the cocktail party.

But at this moment, Viola suddenly stood up from the throne.

This scene, which was not in compliance with regulations, made many people look at each other in confusion.

Then Viola dropped another bombshell. "I, Avarus, have never had a female demon king, not even now. I declare that I will temporarily refuse to become a demon king, and instead control the country as a regent."

This sentence completely made everyone unable to hold back. What are you doing? You're almost shivering. Why did you take off your pants to fart?

Not only in Avarus, but in the entire demon realm, there is actually no law that prohibits women from inheriting the throne or noble titles.

This is because the lifespan of demons is about 150 years, which is much longer than that of humans, but the aging rate is actually similar.

The downside of a long life is that it is not easy to have children.

Therefore, there is no rule that only male heirs are allowed. After all, having children is enough, so there is no time to care about the gender of the child.

It is true that the Demon Kingdom of Avarus has never had a female demon king, but for example, the Demon Kingdom of Oswaya has a female demon king now, so there is no problem with that.

Viola's behavior left everyone confused.

On second thought, the so-called regent becoming a real demon king was just a matter of Viola's words. Her actions clearly sent a signal.

I respect tradition.

The nobles who have not surrendered and are still resisting when being invaded are basically conservatives. Sending out this signal is quite beneficial to the conservatives.

Perhaps, Viola said this for the sake of domestic stability?

Of course, these nobles would get this result if they thought from the perspective of nobles. But in fact, they didn't know that Viola did this purely to make it easier for her to quit at any time...

For example, if Oldie gets married and has children in the future, she can directly pass the throne to the children as regent, saving herself a lot of trouble.

In essence, Viola is still the carefree princess under the halo of her father and brother. Even though she has to shoulder heavy responsibilities now, the pure land in her heart is still preserved, but it can only be preserved in this way.

Although she was a little confused about what Viola was doing, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw a warm light shining in the empty space above her head, and a large number of rose petals emerged from the air and fell down.

Viola quickly took advantage of the situation and said that the king of demons also agreed with her decision, so he bestowed a miracle and blessed her.

It is a foregone conclusion that the Demon King Cult will become the mainstream religion, and the nobles will not be ignorant of the situation. Regardless of whether they believe it or not, they certainly cannot reveal the truth.

So everyone chanted words of praise to the Demon God, and suppressed the commotion that had just occurred.

Besides, there were outsiders present at the ceremony, and if we panicked too much, it would be tantamount to bringing shame to the country.

Normally, when the new Demon King takes over, he would invite envoys from allied countries to watch the ceremony, but Avarus's ally, the Demon Kingdom of Oswaya, was too far away and there was no time to notify them.

The two who happened to be in Avarus became foreign guests watching the ceremony.

One was a messenger sent by Lakshuriya. When he learned that Viola had taken over the Silver City, he immediately stated that he would return all the wealth that he had kept from Avarus.

Listen to what others say and keep it.

What I mean is that I’m afraid that someone else will snatch it away, so I’m holding it for you first. Now that you’re back, I’ll return it to you.

The other was the envoy from the Enwei Demon Kingdom who came to discuss the withdrawal of troops. He arrived by chance, so naturally he had to watch the ceremony as well.

It's quite darkly humorous that these two countries were the ones who broke through the Demon Kingdom of Avarus a year ago. Now that a new demon king has ascended the throne, their envoys are actually watching the ceremony, which is somewhat darkly humorous.

This kind of humor is actually an important background of history.

Regardless of whether it is black or not, just tell me whether it is humorous or not.
