I asked you to be a mage, not to raise a nine-tailed fox

Chapter 374 I Want to Cancel the Engagement! (Seeking monthly votes)

"I object!"

"I object!"

"I object!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"

The eldest prince was helpless and whining.

But because his mouth was sealed by the arcane brilliance of Her Majesty Queen Catherine, all the sounds that came out of his mouth turned into sobs.

Protest, protest!
I protest!

but.

The opposition of Yoghart Ognegula can only be the background music of this parliament.

The smiles on the faces of all the noble lords, including the two princes of the Ognegula family, froze.

Was what Catherine said just now a joke?

Is this a resignation?
Was it to deliberately mention His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then wait for someone to be the first to refute, and then nominate Her Majesty the Queen?
This……

The noble gentlemen looked at each other.

Everyone was unsure of the meaning of Catherine's words.

Your Majesty, are you kidding me?

Prince Haines hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly.

"Catherine, don't joke around at this time..."

"I'm not kidding, Prince Haines."

Catherine sighed.

She said again: "I support the eldest prince, Yughart Ognegula, to inherit the throne."

Wow!
Awkward.

This time, the entire meeting hall was in an uproar.

Everyone looked at each other.

what's the situation? !

They were ready for the Queen to ascend the throne.

There is even a set of aria hymns.

But now you tell them that the Queen will not ascend the throne?
what?
Everyone was hesitating and no one spoke.

I didn't even dare to take a breath.

They were all confused about what Catherine meant.

"I support."

No one expected that the first person to speak would be Mina.

This legendary man who had just been crowned prince immediately supported Catherine.

Support Catherine's decision to make the eldest prince the new king of Anzu.

"I support it too."

The second person to speak was Lady Lucia.

Looking at the smile on Catherine's lips, it seems real?

At this time, the noble lords also reacted.

They all agreed with the proposal of Prince Mina and Princess Catherine.

The new king should vote for the eldest prince.

It seems that the two princes have actually reached a consensus.

In other words, the core interests have been distributed.

There may be conflicts of interest among some factions, but most likely they will not be too big.

No matter who is the king, as long as the operation is good, these people will still benefit from the vested interests.

The two princes looked at each other.

All are wry smiles.

Why didn't Catherine tell them about such a big thing in advance?

Natalta frowned and looked at Catherine.

Hines really wanted to ask Catherine, what do you want to do?
But he still chose to believe Catherine.

"I support."

He said directly.

Natalta nodded slowly.

"I support it too."

After all, that guy Brandon has already turned the whole Ansu into this state.

It couldn't possibly be any worse than the current situation.

Finally, the Grand Duke of Silver spoke slowly, setting the tone for this matter.

"I support it too."

So everyone supported Catherine's proposal.

There was no objection to the eldest prince Yughart inheriting the throne.

"woo woo woo woo!!!!!"

The eldest prince looked pale.

Unanimous vote?

Bullshit about unanimous vote!

Did you ask me whether I agreed or not?

The new king of Ansu has been decided.

The biggest topic of this meeting has finally come to an end.

"Then let's talk about something light."

Catherine's smile seemed even happier.

Prince, the new king has been selected.

What happens next shouldn't be a serious matter.

According to convention, it would probably be about things like distribution of benefits and the coronation ceremony of the new king.

however.

Catherine's words were like a spring breeze, but the chill hidden in them was icy cold.

"Next, we have to talk about some things about the reform."

The meeting lasted a full eight hours.

It opened from morning to evening.

The reform agenda has only been advanced to one-third of the way.

This issue will be pushed forward over the next two days, and possibly even this week.

This is what concerns Ansu.

Some of the great nobles looked extremely ugly when they came out.

If what Princess Catherine said today is true, the power in their hands must be dismembered.

Even more than 90% of the family’s interests would be divided up.

This is absolutely unbearable.

We must find a way to find the opportunity.

There should still be a glimmer of hope.

Some conservatives began to plot.

Grand ceremony!

That’s right, there is still a chance for the new king’s coronation ceremony.

Mission!

That's right!

At that time, delegations from various countries and ethnic groups will come to Ansu to watch the ceremony.

Princess Catherine is currently unengaged.

If we can get the eldest princess married off, maybe things will turn around!

That's right!

This is an opportunity! The last chance to turn the tables.

Some of the minor nobles became excited.

This is an opportunity, an opportunity to bring honor to the family!
After a simple dinner.

The second meeting was held as scheduled.

However, there were not many participants in this meeting.

It is a closed-door meeting.

Princess Catherine, the eldest prince - soon he should be called His Majesty King Ansu, Yughart.

Prince Mina, Her Royal Highness Lucia.

Prince Natalta and Prince Haines.

It can be said that this was a meeting at the highest level in Ansu.

It can also be said to be a family meeting of the Ognegula family.

But besides these, there were five other people watching.

The Silver Grand Duke, the daughter of the Western Grand Duke, Ms. Ansana, the Silver Grand Duke's student, Ms. Kuleya, and the legendary alchemist Miss Mel of Ansu.

and Lucia's aunt, the head of the Royal Knights, Ruth Kania.

"Hey~ Lucia, is there anything going to happen later?"

Ansana was a little curious. She seemed to feel the difference in the atmosphere. She looked at Ansana with some curiosity.

"Some trivia, but I need some witnesses."

"oh oh."

Ansana was still very excited.

It was quite interesting to see him appear for the first time on behalf of the old man.

The two princes and the eldest prince were also somewhat confused.

What is Catherine up to?

The eldest prince, in particular, finally came to his senses after a whole day of meetings.

When he looked at Catherine, his expression was complicated.

It seems that his elder sister has no intention of abandoning him completely.

This can be seen through today's final reform topic.

The eldest sister is helping him.

really.

The first topic of this closed-door meeting was the restructuring of Ansu and its future direction.

If we want Ansu to rise, the rise of top combat power is one aspect.

Internal stability and the base and training of the lower-level extraordinary people are also important issues.

Many things need to be discussed behind closed doors.

At this time, the eldest prince finally confirmed it.

Catherine really doesn't want to be the queen of Ansu anymore.

But she was doing her best to help him, to stabilize Ansu, to change Ansu, and to let him become the ruler of the entire Ansu.

And she was the staff bearer and guardian, protecting him and their Ansu.

The eldest prince suddenly laughed.

He closed his eyes and let go of all distractions.

He was too impatient.

The current progress is already faster than Zeng Jiang had imagined.

No?
And the situation was much better than he expected.

No?
That's enough.

"sister."

He suddenly spoke, interrupting Catherine's words.

The eldest prince met Catherine's puzzled gaze.

He said seriously: "Don't worry. I will manage this land well, just like grandpa did."

Catherine slapped the eldest prince on the back of the head.

"It's going to be better than what grandpa did!" She suddenly laughed.

The eldest prince rubbed the back of his head and laughed as well.

This hurdle has finally been overcome.

The two princes looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

With these two siblings, no, there are three of them, plus their brother-in-law Mina, they have no worries about their prosperity.

"Okay, now that the heavy topic is over, let's have some refreshments and move on to the next topic."

At this time, Mina was very thoughtful and served carefully prepared snacks to everyone present.

Xingxi’s pastries imitate the best craftsmanship of Anros.

Xingxi’s black tea is almost the best black tea Natalta has ever tasted.

Even when I was in the Guardian Temple, attending classes and training under the Guardian God, I had only drunk this level of black tea a few times!
The pastries are also the taste of Anros.

authentic.

So authentic.

Ansu has a genius of this level. His Ognegula family has a genius of this level. There is no need to worry about its prosperity!

"Come to think of it."

He suddenly sighed, "Thank goodness for Mina, and thank goodness for the relationship between you two."

He looked at Mina and Lucia. He had heard that the two of them had a very good relationship since he came back.

Especially since we started going through life and death together several months ago.

They even started living in a team early on.

This kind of life-and-death experience is definitely better than those so-called campus romances.

It seems that the marriage agreement that the old man made back then was really the right one.

Lucia and Mina looked at each other.

Everyone smiled.

They naturally knew what the prince said.

Prince Haines also nodded slightly.

"It's really good." He sighed. In fact, whether it is in Anros or in Ansu.

A marriage contract is not everything.

Many boys and girls who are betrothed at birth will cancel their engagements when they meet other people they like during their growth. Of course, this behavior is somewhat unacceptable to some ancient families.

To put it more seriously, it may involve face issues.

Of course, there are some special cases.

For example, a thousand-year-old family in Ansu suddenly fell into decline, and someone came to their door to break off an engagement.

Natalta had a great time eating the melons back then.

But that only happened under the legend.

At that time, Natalta was thinking that the Ernst family was now in decline, and her Lucia would not be so violent.

Obviously, Hines also had concerns back then. After all, all the scandals of Anros had reached him.

But it's okay.

Lucia likes to use the engagement as an excuse.

Later, as things developed, the relationship between the two became really good.

And now they are all legends, and Mina has even become the second legend.

Ernst has also made a comeback.

Now, he only hopes that Mina and Lucia can complete the engagement ceremony after the king's coronation ceremony.

It would even be better if we could fast forward to the wedding.

Not only the two princes, but also the eldest prince, had such thoughts.

He had just noticed the situation of Mina and Lucia.

It can be said that there are constant small movements and small glances.

It's very interesting.

He had talked to Lucia before.

Lucia made it clear that she would not marry.

but now.

Changed your mind?
Bullshit, it was just a quarrel between the couple at that time.

He thought about it, why not choose a better day to have a double happiness?
At his coronation ceremony, in the presence of hundreds of officials, nobles and many foreign envoys, the engagement was completed?

This would also serve to declare that Mina was his Ansu.

This idea works!

The eldest prince looked at Mina, then at Lucia, and said, "If it were you two, you should just..."

"Okay, it's almost time to rest."

At this moment, Catherine suddenly interrupted the eldest prince.

She glanced at the eldest prince calmly.

The kind with a smile.

A very kind smile.

The eldest prince suddenly felt a chill, shivered and shut his mouth.

How terrible. What did he say just now that was wrong?
"Okay, okay, next topic, what's the topic?"

The eldest prince looked at Catherine.

Catherine withdrew her gaze with satisfaction and looked back at Mina, then at Lucia.

"Let's talk about some family matters."

"Family affairs?" The eldest prince was stunned.

The two princes also looked at each other and then at Catherine.

And Lucia, who had already stood up.

What family matter? It's about Lucia...

Ok?
housework?

Suddenly, the two princes looked happy.

Now, apart from some "prince-level" pocket money, the only connection between Lucia and Ognigula is the marriage contract.

Could it be that the family matter Catherine was talking about was this marriage contract?
Is it...

Getting married?

The two princes suddenly became excited.

The eldest prince also became excited.

Lucia is getting married?
Good thing!

It's not just the three from Ognegula.

Mel, who had ordered a family bucket of popcorn, suddenly sat up straight.

Hey! She finally perked up.

Even the Silver Duke standing beside him had a half-smile.

I'm coming.

"Make way, make way, make room."

Katherine moved closer to Mel and asked for a bucket of popcorn.

Hey, watch the show.

Kureya seemed to know something vaguely, and admired Lucia's courage.

Ansana is also a smart girl.

Thinking about what Lucia had said before, combined with Lucia's attitude, I suddenly understood.

Lucia is going to break off the engagement!

Good thing!
Hehehe, that’s great news.

A long time ago, Lucia hated that shabby marriage that came from nowhere.

Now that it's a legend, Lucia finally has her own choice, she can break the engagement and make her own decision!

She was genuinely excited for her best friend.

Mel secretly glanced at Ansana who was holding Mi Xiaohu over there, and smacked his lips.

Gee tut.

The child probably doesn't realize anything yet.

Katherine glanced at Mel.

With a smile on her face, she looked back at Lucia and Mina who had suddenly moved.

Mina was standing three steps behind Lucia, as if to be her strong backing.

Catherine grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into her mouth.

"It's about to begin."

she whispered.

"My two princely uncles, and the future King, Princess Catherine."

Lucia spoke slowly.

Her eyes were serious and firm, and her determination never wavered.

"Please take out my engagement."

Her voice was flat, without any room for compromise.

This involves her life.

Her beloved elders passed away one after another, leaving her helpless.

Now, she has grown into a legend and found the most reliable partner. She has worked hard for more than ten years for this moment.

She wants to make it clear today.

There is no room for mediation.

She spoke every word.

"I want to cancel the engagement."

　I'm not good at this kind of foreshadowing~~~
　　But the foreshadowing that has been brewing for a long time is finally coming out~
　　Hey.

　　I'm going to bed. If nothing goes wrong, I'll update tomorrow morning.

　　Good night everyone
