The nobles present were dumbfounded. Looking at the people behind Irene, who was not the top noble of King? If even they supported Irene, would he have to change his strategy?

There are also some families who originally ate with Sophia and other families. At this moment, they have made a decision in their hearts. After this ceremony is over, they will immediately switch sides to Irene. They still understand that only by following their boss can they have meat to eat.

But the matter was not over yet. After Norton stood up, Hubert, who was originally on the side, also walked towards Irene.

Now both Klee and Vito were stunned, looking at Hubert in surprise. They didn't expect that Sword Saint Hubert was also convinced. What did the usually inconspicuous Irene come up with that could win a character like Hubert into his camp?

Not only were they surprised, but even the four sword masters who had originally planned to close their eyes and meditate, saw a trace of surprise in their eyes after seeing Hubert come out. They had not participated in the replacement of the throne for a long time. What does Hubert mean?

"Sword Saint Hubert?" Vito asked tentatively.

Hubert ignored the other party, but closed his eyes and stood firmly behind Irene.

This also let Klee and Vito know his decision and determination. After Hubert stepped forward, the nobles in the field were even more shaken.

Irene can actually win over Sword Saint Hubert, but judging from her current strength, with so many top nobles helping her to position herself, Irene already has all the conditions for a popular candidate for the throne.

But this is not over yet. What Claire wants is to be a blockbuster, to show off all his strength and make everyone feel that Irene is the most powerful candidate for the throne. Only in this way can other nobles be attracted to join, and only in a crushing manner can Klee and Vito be suppressed without any resistance.

Then, while everyone was still in extreme shock, Edith, who was still standing behind, slowly walked towards Irene.

If the nobles present were extremely shocked before, it can be said that they are beginning to doubt now, wondering if they are dreaming. Otherwise, how could Irene win over Merlin Family to stand for her too.

If Archmage Merlin stands for her, then the throne is certain, and there is no need to go through the process of participating in any election.

"Miss Edith!" Klee said with an ugly face, "Didn't Archmage Merlin have an agreement with our royal family? He promised not to participate in the replacement of the throne. What's going on now?"

Edith slowly replied, "I do not represent Merlin Family, I represent myself and my friend Yana to support Princess Irene."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt that it was reasonable.

Well, if it was Ms. Edith's own decision, then it would make sense, otherwise, there would really be no fun.

But on the opposite side, after hearing Edith's explanation, Klee's face was still ugly. Even if Edith only represented his support for Irene, it could influence many nobles. Those mage nobles who were originally close to the Royal Capital Magic Academy will definitely tend to that side after seeing Edith join Irene's camp.

Now both our own side and Vito's side are at a disadvantage compared to Irene.

Claire walked in front of Irene, looked at Klee and Vito in front of him and said, "What you just said is right, it's up to me."

Hearing Claire's provocative words, Klee's pupils suddenly tightened, and he suddenly stared at Claire, and then looked at the people standing behind Irene.

An idea flashed through my mind that I didn't even believe. Could it be that these people were persuaded by Claire, so they came to support Irene?

Otherwise, how can we explain that Irene had no foundation at all before, but now it has received help from so many people? This is unreasonable.

The moment this thought flashed through his mind, Klee felt a little regretful. He regretted that he had offended the other party when he was at Blazing Flame Plane. Although the other party was just a viscount, he was not an ordinary viscount at all.

After everyone who supported Irene stood up, the atmosphere at the scene became somewhat stalemate. The three waves of people looked at each other, and no one spoke first.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Irene clearly has the advantage now, while Vito and Klee don't even show their cards now.

The confrontation lasted for more than ten minutes. Joseph took the initiative and said, "Since Princess Irene has joined, there are now three candidates for the throne, and today's ceremony ends here."

After Joseph finished speaking, those nobles who considered themselves of low status were the first to leave, followed by a large number of nobles.

Today is not the day to decide who will own the throne, but the day to reveal your cards and plan to declare war.

Claire has revealed all the trump cards of Irene, while Klee and Vito were caught off guard. Today's battle was a beautiful one!

Before Klee left, he took a deep look at Claire and Irene, and the meaning was self-evident.

Vito was even more direct. He walked up to Irene and threatened. "Irene, you will regret your decision today!"

Irene also looked directly at him without fear, "I will not regret any decision I made, it is you who should regret it!"

After everyone left, the only ones left on the field were those with Claire.

Claire praised, "What His Majesty Irene just said was very powerful and powerful."

Sophia also echoed, "Yes, it sounds very powerful."

Irene felt that Claire was making fun of her again, and then gave Claire a shy look. However, in front of so many people, he still maintained the dignity that a "Queen" should have.

Since Claire said those words to him, she has claimed herself as a country Queen.

Then Irene turned to Norton and said, "Thank you Count Norton."

Norton waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, we are originally on the same team."

"But please don't take it lightly. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. I have been following Vito for several months. He is not the kind of person who gives up easily."

Claire answered, "Of course, but we have won a battle today. It is estimated that many nobles will come to seek refuge with Irene after we return. Then you can help us collect statistics."

Sophia nodded, "Don't worry, it's all on us."

It is obviously impossible for those small and medium-sized nobles to come into direct contact with Irene, so they can only join Irene's camp at this time by contacting nobles like Sophia. There are also those noble families who originally followed families like Sophia, and they will definitely join Irene after Norton and the others expressed their stance.

They have no shortage of top noble families, but they still lack the support of a large number of small and medium-sized nobles. This will also become a powerful force for Irene to rise to power in the future.

Then, Claire looked at Hubert and continued, "Sword Saint Hubert, I will trouble you to protect Irene for a while."

Hubert nodded, "No problem."

It is too common to assassinate candidates. Before Irene takes over, she must be protected well. Otherwise, even if the three opposing parties are destroyed and your home is stolen, your side will lose the game.

However, with the protection of a sword master like Hubert, Irene's life safety is still guaranteed.
