"Irene."
"I'm here."
"Let's go."
"Where to go?"
Claire pondered for a moment, "Downstairs, or should I say: the future?"
Although he was confused, Irene was guided by Claire from the room to downstairs.
"Sister Sophia, Sword Saint Hubert! Shane...Yana...Edith..."
Irene looked at the five people in front of her in shock. She didn't understand why these five people came to look for her at night.
Sophia was the first to wave and say hello, "Irene little cutie, no, from now on I should call you Your Majesty Irene."
"Your Majesty?" Irene fell into shock and confusion hearing these two words.
Then he looked at Claire in confusion, as if asking what was going on.
Without waiting for Claire to explain, Shane also stood up and said, "Irene, next we Ansier Family will help you become the next King!"
"It's the same with us Guen Family." Yana smiled.
Although Hubert and Edith did not speak, they nodded slightly to express their positions.
This otherworldly version of Yellow Robe Ceremony shocked Irene into speechlessness. He could only look at Claire and said blankly, "Is this what you have to do after being busy these days?"
Claire nodded slightly and responded, "Yes, Irene, Your Majesty."
Seeing Claire who was so serious, and Sophia and others who were prepared below, no matter how surprised Irene was and no matter how subconsciously she wanted to refuse, she couldn't say anything to refuse. They put all their wealth on her, and this was no longer something she could solve with a willful refusal.
Irene was stunned for five or six seconds before he came back to his senses and nodded, "Okay, but I don't know much, so I need more help from you."
Sophia smiled and said, "Just leave it to us."
Then, Claire arranged for everyone to sit down. During the process, Sophia even pulled Claire.
He whispered, "I saw Irene's expression just now. She didn't know until now?!"
"Is there a problem?"
"Isn't this a big problem?"
"Didn't Irene agree? What's the problem?"
"You're forcing her to take the position, but you're right. If Irene agrees, it won't be a big deal." Sophia said, still a little scared. In the future, he would have to investigate everything clearly when planning anything with Claire. He was bolder than me, and Irene dared to start implementing the plan even before he agreed.
After everyone sat down, they began to discuss how to deal with the succession of the throne. Now their overall strength is no weaker than either Vito or Klee, and even faintly surpasses them in some aspects.
Sophia and Shane, two magic shop giants, control more than half of the magic material circulation in the kingdom. Sophia There is also The ancestor of Archmage; Guen Family, the largest arms dealer in the kingdom; Sword Saint Hubert, the support of the army; Edith, the influence from Archmage Merlin.
"The day after tomorrow, the news of His Majesty Norris's death was announced." Claire said, "That is also the official start of the battle for the throne. We must make Irene one of the candidates the day after tomorrow! And he is also the most powerful candidate."
"This will attract other forces to join us and increase our strength."
Although their strength is not weak now, they still have a long way to go before they can win the throne. Once the two people on the opposite side find out that it is not good for them, they might join forces to suppress Irene.
Therefore, we must create a snowball effect, continuously expand our own advantages, and then we can successfully win the throne.
Sophia said, "Don't worry, after the day after tomorrow, the nobles who have close relations with the August Family outside will come to support Irene."
Shane also responded, "Although Ansier Family cannot give full support, my father will give the greatest support and will also report some news."
Since Shane told his father about the people Claire had recruited, Count Norton immediately leaned towards Claire, and Vito began to work hard. Among his three sons, Shane currently receives the greatest support. If it weren't for the implementation of Cunning Rabbit Sanwo's plan, Count Norton would now want to come over and do it with Claire.
The rest of the people also expressed their opinions that they would try their best to attract other nobles to join. Only Edith did not speak, but she did not want to speak. Claire pulled her here just to stand up. As long as she is present, it will have a great effect.
After talking for a long time, everyone left after finalizing the preliminary plan.
After everyone left, Irene turned his attention to Claire and said with some complicated emotions, "Claire, I..."
"What's wrong?" Claire turned around and asked softly.
"This is so sudden, I can't accept it." Just now Sophia and the others were present, so Irene couldn't say anything, but now it's just her and Claire, and they can finally speak out what's in their hearts.
"Didn't I ask you before?"
"Do you think it's better for a person to try his best to realize his own value? Or is it better to just be a carefree child?"
Irene's eyes widened and he said in shock, "So is this what you meant before?"
"But... but to realize value, I don't want to be Queen. I'm so young, I can't do it."
"Don't doubt yourself, I believe you can do it." Claire encouraged.
Irene is still a little unsteady in his heart, "My eldest brother and my second brother are both much better than me."
"That's not necessarily true. I've been in contact with them, and none of them are better than you."
"But... but..." Irene still shook his head subconsciously.
Claire stretched out his hand to hold down her flustered and swaying arm, and put it down. Then Irene looked at Claire.
"Weren't you confused before? You didn't know what you were going to do, you didn't know where to go."
"But now, you can have a goal, and that is to become King. I have said before that it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. You are no worse than anyone else, and don't deny yourself before doing things. You see so many of us believe in you, shouldn't you believe in yourself more?"
Listening to Claire's words, Irene's eyes gradually calmed down.
Seeing this, Claire continued to increase his efforts, "And you are His Majesty Norris's favorite daughter, so naturally you should inherit his position."
"Are you willing to hand over the country that your father has run for so many years to the hands of those two people? You also know what kind of people they are. If the country is handed over to their hands, will they destroy the foundation that His Majesty Norris has worked hard for many years? Will they make the lives of the people living in this country even more unsatisfactory?"
"Irene, are you willing to hand over this country to them? In my opinion, instead of placing your hopes in the hands of others, it is better to control it yourself."
"So you are not inheriting the throne for yourself, but for us who support you, and for the people of the entire kingdom."
Listening to Claire's words, Irene's eyes were filled with light, and he became more and more determined, and his little hands clenched.
"You have been to my territory, and you have seen how the people there live. Don't you want the people in the rest of the kingdom to be so happy?"
"I believe these two people can't do it, but you, you can do it. This is one of the reasons why we support you."
After listening to Claire's words, Irene felt a sense of mission on her shoulders. This was not a burden, but made her feel more at ease. She understood her goals and the meaning of her confusion during this period of time.
Whether it's from himself, the people around him, or even the entire country, Irene feels that he must compete for the throne this time! This is her mission as a royal family, and it is also her need to inherit her father's will! It is a new goal in her life!
