Who Will Be King

"King Oga has passed away?"

Many Human Saint Realm changed their expressions slightly upon hearing this news, but quickly returned to normal. To them, the death of a king was nothing serious; they could simply replace him with another.

Only Patur was somewhat moved, after all, the current King Oga was his father.

However, he was already mentally prepared, since the current King Oga was only Level Seven Warrior and was over three hundred years old, which was already the limit of his lifespan.

The one most shaken was undoubtedly Andres.

"The opportunity has arrived!"

After completing Teresa's Binding Quest, he began working on the Binding Quest for the next target.

Currently, there are two suitable targets for binding. One is Inori, whose task is to help her become King Oga, with the reward being Fire Elemental Lesser God talent.

The other is Rhode, whose task is to help him win Lulutia's heart, with the reward being Low-level God of Water Element talent.

Between the two, Inori's is easier to handle.

Andres had a thought and mentally accepted Inori's Binding Quest.

"Now that King Oga has passed away, it is necessary to determine the next king." Yasen looked at the Saint Realm expert present.

As is customary in previous years, when the kings of the three kingdoms of the Noah Continent ascend the throne, they need to be crowned by the Yasen City. Yasen will always send a Saint Realm expert to represent Yasen City.

"There's no need to worry. Since King Oga has passed away, the next king will be chosen from among his children. Previously, Patur was the best candidate, but now that Patur has become Saint Domain and no longer participates in worldly affairs, then let Patur's son succeed him," Abad said.

"Agree."

"I agree."

None of the Human Saint Realm had any objections.

In fact, there has long been no dispute within the Oga Kingdom or among the Human Saint Realm regarding the next king of the Oga Kingdom; it has always been Patur and his son, Marquis Gallo.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Yasen turned to Patur: "Patur, do you have any objections to your son Gallo inheriting the throne of the Oga Kingdom?"

"No." Patur naturally had no objection.

"Alright, since that's the case, it's settled then. Gallo is the new King Oga. Abad, you and Patur go and crown Gallo," Yasen said.

"Okay," Abad readily agreed.

"Then this matter is settled—"

"Wait a moment."

Just as Yasen was about to make a decision, he was interrupted, and everyone looked at Andres.

Andres remained expressionless, looking directly at everyone. It was he who had suddenly spoken, interrupting Yasen.

"Andres, do you have any objections?" Yasen smiled, not minding Andres interrupting him.

Andres said, "I don't think Gallo is suitable to be King Oga."

Patur's face instantly darkened. "Andres, what do you mean?"

Andres said calmly, "Gallo is a wicked man, and I do not approve of him becoming King Oga."

The many Human Saint Realm looked at each other in surprise, none of them expecting Andres to suddenly raise an opinion.

Although Andres has not been Saint Domain for long, he has already demonstrated his strength, and no one dares to ignore him.

Abad pondered for a moment and said, "Andres, I know you and Gallo have had conflicts, but if the throne is not given to Gallo, it will be difficult to convince the people to accept it. Patur has long been regarded as the crown prince in the Oga Kingdom, while Gallo is the next crown prince. The nobles of the Oga Kingdom have long accepted this."

The Human Saint Realm were all startled by Abad's words and began to whisper among themselves.

"Andres and Gallo have a conflict?"

"I don't know, but Abad shouldn't lie. It seems Andres is targeting Gallo."

The conflict between Andres and Gallo was known only to a few Saint Domain, such as Yasen, Abad, and Trevor; other Saint Realm expert were unaware of it.

At this moment, the other Human Saint Realm all looked at Andres, thinking that Andres was opposing because of personal grudges.

Trevor stood beside Andres and whispered, "Andres, you taught Gallo a lesson back then. Let bygones be bygones. We Human Race must unite."

"Gentlemen," Andres, looking at everyone, "I am not doing this out of personal grudge, but because Gallo is arrogant and domineering, and is not the best candidate for king. Mr. Abad should also know about Gallo's character."

Abad opened his mouth, but then stopped himself from speaking.

Yasen and the Human Saint Realm all knew Abad's character well; he couldn't lie. Seeing his appearance, they all understood that what Andres said was true.

Patur said coldly, "Andres, since you say my son is not the best candidate for king, then tell me, who is the best candidate?"

Upon hearing this, the Human Saint Realm also began to ponder.

Yes, even if Gallo isn't suitable, someone still needs to be king.

Andres smiled faintly and said, "Of course, the best candidate is Inori!"

"Inori?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a buzzing sound rang out as the Human Saint Realm members began to discuss in hushed tones.

They all knew Inori. In the past eight years, the most dazzling Human Race the Holy Alliance Trainee was undoubtedly Teresa, and second only to Teresa was Inori.

Inori has become Level Nine Warrior and has also mastered the "Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth" skill, ranking third on the Cadet Ranking.

"Inori isn't a member of the royal family, so why should she inherit the throne?" Patur scoffed.

"Inori comes from the Demian Family, and the Demian Family also has royal blood," Andres said.

Abad nodded. "He is a descendant of Sara."

Sara was the sister of the First King of the Oga Kingdom. She married the First Duke Demian and was an ancestor of Inori.

Abad and the First King were sworn brothers, so he naturally knew Sara as well.

Andres continued, "Inori has distinguished herself in battle and enjoys high prestige and popularity in the Oga Kingdom. She is the most suitable candidate for king."

"Hmph, the royal family is still around, yet a woman with distant blood ties inherits the throne. The nobles will not agree to this, and it might even cause national turmoil!" Patur stared intently at Andres, each word seemingly spat out from between his teeth.

Andres calmly replied, "Instability? As long as we Saint Realm expert agree, who dares to utter a word against it?"

In the Coiling Dragon World, the strong are respected. If the people of the Oga Kingdom rebel, a Saint Realm expert can easily suppress them.

"What are everyone's opinions?" Yasen looked around at the crowd.

"This..." The Human Saint Realm looked at each other, but no one spoke.

In fact, many Human Saint Realm don't care who the king of the Oga Kingdom is.

Only Abad spoke up, "I support Gallo."

When he spoke, no one was surprised.

Patur has always been mentored by Abad, so Abad will naturally side with Patur.

Patur glanced gratefully at Abad and said, "I support you too."

Trevor hesitated for a moment, then suggested, "I think we should ask Inori's opinion first. If she herself is unwilling, then we don't need to argue."

Okay, I agree.

"That's all for now."

The Human Saint Realm echoed this sentiment.

Andres smiled confidently, "I have no objection."
