CHAPTER 1128: CHAPTER 836: NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE A SIDE

At present, the Ginas Kingdom, like the Tistis Kingdom, is in a state of internal turmoil and external threats.

With the King assassinated, numerous nobles harmed, and the entire capital in chaos, the noble faction and the Duke faction are still fiercely battling for the throne, making the condition of the Ginas Kingdom unquestionably turbulent.

Under such circumstances, the Leiblu Kingdom, which has always been covetously eyeing the territory of the Ginas Kingdom, already shows signs of sending troops to attack, and neighboring small nations are also restless. If the election cannot be concluded swiftly, and a King isn’t chosen soon, it will be extremely detrimental to the future of the Ginas Kingdom.

Therefore, to end the current turmoil, the primary task is to select an heir to the throne and elect a new King as soon as possible.

Otherwise, this state of internal strife and external threat will undoubtedly persist until the Ginas Kingdom is divided and consumed by a pack of wolves.

"At this point, it’s impossible for anyone to remain uninvolved."

Yuri thus informed Reiger.

"I’ve heard that the Royal faction and Duke faction have been lobbying various originally neutral families lately, persuading them to choose a side."

"The Borlay family, although currently neutral, can no longer remain uninvolved at this point, which undoubtedly neglects the kingdom’s safety. So they must be observing and will eventually choose someone to support."

"And my family, even with you, Miss Yuloli, and Miss Ellie here, will eventually have to make a choice."

"No matter what, I cannot sit idly by while the Ginas Kingdom continues to be turbulent and eventually attacked by surrounding countries."

Speaking of this, Yuri showed a troubled expression.

"Judging by your look, you still haven’t decided who to support, right?"

Reiger saw the trouble in Yuri’s heart and pointed directly at the essence of the problem.

"More or less." Yuri sighed and said, "In the past, I would probably choose to support the Duke faction, because the biggest representative of the Royal faction was Solok Jinas."

"But now, the representatives of the Royal faction have become the Crown Prince Kuhart and the Seventh Prince Boel. Although those two are less capable compared to Saint Nidor Kedalion, the Crown Prince is gentle and courteous, and the Seventh Prince, though somewhat timid, acts steadily. If they rise to power, the kingdom should be more conducive to maintaining stability than during the reign of the previous King, making life better for the common people."

Yuri shared all her considerations with Reiger.

It is evident that Yuri has been hesitating, uncertain about whom to support.

"No worries, take your time to think. It’s not urgent."

Reiger seemed somewhat indifferent to the matter.

"Not urgent? The Leiblu Kingdom is about to attack, yet you say it’s not urgent!" Yuri glared at Reiger and said irritably, "Electing the next King is the most urgent matter, and the sooner the better."

"Also, don’t think this has nothing to do with you. You have voting rights too!"

Yuri’s words left Reiger stunned.

"Voting rights? Me?"

Reiger pointed to himself, somewhat surprised.

"That’s right." Yuri nodded, saying, "According to the kingdom’s law, if the first-in-line heir to the throne hasn’t been chosen, and the King encounters misfortune or needs to abdicate, the next King must be elected through a campaign."

"The candidates for the election are all those with succession rights to the throne, so it’s not just Saint Nidor, the Crown Prince, and the Seventh Prince. Other members of the Royal family and those with succession rights from the Duke family also have the qualification to participate in the election."

"Then it comes to forming alliances; each heir needs to rally nobles and strong supporters to side with them, because nobles and mighty figures enjoy voting rights."

"Of course, not all nobles and strong supporters have voting rights; only some do."

"For example, among the nobles, only large noble families like the Dukes, Marquises, and Earls have voting rights. Smaller noble households like Viscounts and Barons do not have voting rights."

"As for strong supporters, it refers to the Sword Saints and strategic level Magicians who are pillars of the nation."

According to Yuri, the number of votes each noble and mighty figure holds are not consistent.

This primarily depends on influence and strength.

Take the Franzel family; not only is it a Marquis family, but the Family Head is also a strategic level Magician, thus enjoying up to ten votes.

The Borlay family is also similar; being a Marquis family, and with the Family Head as a Sword Saint, it likewise has ten voting rights.

Other nobles and mighty figures will have 1-10 votes according to the same method.

"As for you, though you are not part of our family, being a Sword Saint yourself with two Sword Saint-level followers under your command, you will undoubtedly be viewed as a separate force."

"You will probably also have up to ten votes."

"No one has approached you yet; perhaps they haven’t figured out how to win over your incredibly powerful faction?"

"Once they figure it out, someone will definitely approach you and ask you to take sides."

Yuri further mentioned that due to this matter, the Border Guardian Sword Saint guarding the border and the Meteor Sword Saint wandering outside would be recalled to the capital.

Also, another strategic level Magician of the kingdom will soon arrive in Yale, coming to the capital.

Dukes, Marquises, and Earls throughout the kingdom will be summoned to the capital to participate in the election.
