"Actually, the main reason I called you here this time is to discuss Leon's ascension to the throne." Orphans said.
Although it was to be expected, the moment those words were spoken, the air in the office seemed to grow a little heavier.
"!!!"x2
Leon and Anis widened their eyes.
Until now, no one can stop your victory. If we say that the third prince Algard, he still has a one in ten thousand chance of winning before the dragon crusade.
Now he is not even qualified to compete with Leon, and the throne is definitely Leon's.
The Red Dragon Crusade brought great prestige.
Not only for Leon, who killed the dragon with his own hands, but also for Anis, who fought bravely to stop the red dragon, has already gained a reputation that surpasses that of Algard.
As the only prince among the king's three sons who did not make any contributions during the red dragon's invasion, the distance between Algard and the two had become irreparable.
It could even be said that even if Orphans desperately wanted to pass the throne to Algard, he would not be able to due to the opposition of countless people.
This throne...
It already belongs to Leon.
However.
"Ascend the throne? No, no, it's too soon."
No one expected Leon himself to refuse.
Orphans, Sylphine, the Prime Minister and Anis looked at Leon in shock, wondering if they had heard wrong.
Orphans' eyes shook violently.
In fact, he acted out of turn again.
He had already made a perfect plan for himself to live a happy and peaceful life after abdicating the throne. He couldn't wait to find a quiet place with his wife to live in peace and quiet.
As a result, Leon suddenly said that he would not ascend the throne.
"You... What are you thinking?!"
"Father, it's not time yet."
Leon said in a serious tone. The expression didn't seem like a joke, which made Orphans scared.
"If I ascend the throne now, I will definitely change the kingdom in every aspect. The power of the nobles will be greatly reduced, and all the laws up until now will be rewritten. Can you imagine what that will be like?"
Chaos, unprecedented chaos, chaos that this kingdom needs but has not yet had.
"I heard you named me your heir when the red dragon attacked."
"If something had happened to you during the dragon invasion, and the kingdom was in extreme chaos, I would have taken advantage of the situation to announce reforms after inheriting the throne."
"But now..."
Leon didn't finish what he said, but there were intelligent people present, so everyone already understood.
If the dragon crusade failed, Leon's reforms could be easily accepted, because there is already a prerequisite for destruction, and it will be convenient to build new things.
But if the dragon's crusade is successful, Leon will need to destroy the kingdom for him so he can make the reform he wants. Until then, the chaos caused by the civil war will also take time to suppress, which is not appropriate in terms of results.
"My rules can be said to challenge the current class system of the entire society. Therefore, in my plan [Before ascending the throne... I must first conquer a kingdom]."
Leon said that if such changes are implemented without preparation, the result will likely be hostility from all other human kingdoms.
So, to avoid becoming an enemy of all humanity, he secretly decided to take three kingdoms first, and they couldn't be small kingdoms! They had to be large and influential kingdoms!
"!!!!"xN
Everyone was so surprised that they were speechless.
Why is this kid always so shocking!
Orphans, fell into deep doubt, wondering if he really gave birth to this child? Are your genes really that powerful? Why didn't he know?
"Your Highness Leon, may I ask if you already have a plan?" Prime Minister Grantz asked after swallowing hard, and Leon nodded with a thumbs up.
"Of course, I've already thought of a plan, the kingdom of Midgar, the kingdom of Oriana, the kingdom of... and the recently mentioned Britannia.
"Didn't you say there would be three?"
"Of course the plan must have a plan B. If something unexpected happens and I fail one, there is still a replacement who can take over, so I thought twice about it."
"Yes yes."
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Leon with strange eyes.
How can Algard win? While he was still busy dealing with a small territory, Leon was already considering plans to take over other kingdoms.
If it were anyone else, they would probably take it as a joke, but Leon is different!
Anything that seems impossible will make people feel acceptable if you go with it.
"Ahem, how long will it take? Your prestige and reputation are at their peak now. If I don't pass the throne to you for a long time, I will be criticized."
"Let me think about it...about two or three years, maybe next year at the earliest."
"Is this so fast?"
Orphans spoke perplexedly. This makes kings who think about how to expand their territories all day feel embarrassed.
Leon shrugged and thought to himself, didn't you say that? If he doesn't ascend the throne soon, he will be criticized. For this reason, I can only work harder and gain both kingdoms as quickly as possible.
"Also, my status as a prince is very convenient for me to move around. If I become a king, it will be difficult for me to cause trouble elsewhere, right?"
"That's right...wait! What are you going to do now?!"
Orphans asked with a cautious look on his face.
Although Leon is not like Anis, who will mess things up and give him a stomach ache. As long as he does this, there is basically no possibility of accidents and he will definitely succeed, but...
Every time he did something, it was very big and scary.
Although it won't make your stomach hurt, it will make my heart unbearable!
"I'm heading to the Kingdom of Midgar. The cult has been making big moves there recently. And I can't just leave them alone."
"...Well, the cult of Diablos is the enemy of humanity, they really want to resurrect diablos or something. This kind of organization must be destroyed."
As far as Orphans knew, the only one that can compete with the cult of Diablos is Leon's Night Raid.
If that's the case, there's nothing we can do.
He had no reason to stop Leon.
"Then I'll ask you to help me come up with a clear reason. Anything will do. After I go and defeat the diablo cult there, I'll take the kingdom."
"You... Ahhh~ I understand. The obvious reason would be to hope to establish an alliance between the two kingdoms, and then exchange studies, etc. There shouldn't be any rejection of him taking in a dragon-slaying prince as an exchange student, right?"
"As expected of my father..."
"But before that! You have to deal with your kingdom's affairs first, and at the same time, it's time to further strengthen your power."
Orphans seriously said that he decided to delegate power to Leon!
