Chapter 63 Sudden! Mary fell from her horse!
Leon was riding a horse, running wildly in the direction of the Thorn Territory.
He originally planned to stay in the southwest highlands for a while and walk carefully through the land that was slowly being acquired by the Jimena family.
If you have enough time, you can also take a look at the canyon that is rumored to lead to the Forsaken Land.
However, the news that Aaron specially sent people to rush to the southwest highlands made Leon feel a tremble in his heart, and he had to give up this plan that he had been planning for a long time.
Because while he was personally leading the army to hunt birds in the southwestern highlands, something big happened in the Kingdom of Andal!
Queen Mary I of the Andals is dead.
It is said that this beautiful and just queen fell from her horse while out hunting.
When this unfortunate news reached the royal capital, the nobles finally realized that their beloved queen had unfortunately passed away.
The Lord Privy Seal said that she was a just and selfless ruler, and every noble in the court of the Kingdom of Andal could not forget her appearance and hospitality.
The treasurer said that this beautiful queen was very passionate about riding horses, but when the 500-kilogram horse pressed heavily on her and broke her spine, her beautiful face and love for riding horses eventually came to an end. There was no way to save her life.
Thorn Territory, Lord's Castle.
Leon, who was sitting at the head of the table, slowly closed the letter from the royal capital and took a deep breath.
When he opened his eyes again, there was an obvious solemnity in his eyes.
Leon himself had no impression of this queen, and his lord's lord was not his lord, let alone Mary I. Even if the monarch of the Andal Kingdom was a dog, he would have nothing to do with Leon.
But the thing is, now she's dead.
I have to say that Mary I died at a very untimely time because she had three sons!
Under the high division of inheritance law, the eldest son of Mary I was naturally the first heir to the Kingdom of Andal.
But at the same time, the other two sons will also inherit the corresponding duke titles.
But this is not critical.
The most important thing is that the other two sons are actual dukes with strong claims to the Kingdom of Andal!
You know, the sons of Mary I were not easy to deal with.
Except for the eldest son who had just ascended to the throne, he was the new king who had been established as Wilbert I.
The ambitions of the other two sons, if not obvious, are basically known to everyone.
Especially the second eldest, Perel, the Duke of Sorrow Castle whose fiefdom is located in the north of the kingdom!
As a noble land directly adjacent to the pagans of the Kingdom of Walras, the army under the Duke of Sadwind Castle can be said to be brave. Not only did its army perform brilliantly in the Andal Kingdom's second movement to recover the lost lands, but it also Perel himself also belongs to a noble family with a great reputation.
As for the third son Helson, although he does not seem to be very powerful, the fiefdom has a large population and is quite wealthy.
Of course, in addition to this, Helson also has an old father-in-law.
The father-in-law's name is Mike, and he is an old man with some power in the Andal Kingdom. He is usually called the Duke of Galicia, Mike Bravis.
The Duke of Galicia, Mike Bravis, is the lord of Leon!
Leon suddenly felt dizzy when he thought that his lord might be involved in the subsequent succession war.
For many years, the succession of thrones in various countries on the mainland has never been peaceful.
Perhaps it's because even if they fail, they usually only pay a ransom. Even if the novice nobles know how much they have, they usually don't object to rebellion.
Even if there are no inheritance or legal issues, a few freedom wars or peasant rebellions will break out to add some fun to everyone. It is basically an inevitable part of the new king's succession.
And now, in addition to the common freedom wars and peasant rebellions, the Kingdom of Andal is very likely... ah no, Leon can definitely conclude that there will definitely be a fight for the throne initiated by the claimant faction!
Leon only hoped that his lord would not get hot-headed and follow the youngest Helson to the top.
There is really no chance of winning!
Not to mention Wilbert I who had just succeeded to the throne, the cavalry under the command of the northern noble Perel alone was enough to hang up and beat the drunkards of the Duke of Galicia!
As a vassal of the Duke of Galicia, once his lord joins the team, even remote Antolia will not be able to survive alone.
He still wants to stay here and play stand-alone happily!
"Anyway, this is the situation now. Let us know what you think."
Leon leaned back helplessly and waited quietly for everyone to speak.
At this time, Leon hopes for a stable situation and lasting peace more than anyone else. After all, Antolia still needs to reclaim wasteland and mine mineral veins.
No matter which arrangement Leon makes, he needs manpower, and he really doesn’t want to be distracted by the mess in the Kingdom of Andal.
What's more, he is now a descendant of the ancestors who has been authenticated by the Lapluk priest. He is following in the footsteps of his ancestors and exploring the lost past.
To put it in human terms, there is an uninhabited and abandoned land in the south, waiting eagerly for your luck!
"Whatever the Viscount says is what he says. The Antolian mercenaries don't understand this. They only know that they will always be loyal to the Viscount!"
Regarding Leon's question, Todd fished as usual.
But this was not intentional. Apart from fighting, he really had no thoughts about these things at all.
And this time, there was an extra paddling player, Fast.
"The people of Lapruk will be loyal to the Viscount."
He is a priest of the mountain people. He knows nothing about the Andal Kingdom, so naturally he is also silent.
"Aaron!"
Seeing that several people were fishing openly and openly, Leon had no choice but to start naming names in annoyance.
Hearing this, the old butler who had served the Jimena family for decades quickly stood up. After pondering for a moment, he finally said: "In my opinion,
this is a bad thing, but maybe it is also a good thing. In short... …a mixed bag.”
Yay!
Not to mention whether Aaron's words were in line with Leon's wishes, someone finally stood up and spoke!
And Leon also needs time to carefully consider his next response.
After all...
the nobles of the Andal Kingdom can be said to have tight ties. If they want to be alone, it will not be easy.
"Come here!"
"Bring me the map!"
Aaron cleared his throat, preparing to express his opinion.
