The sound of swallowing saliva came, and it was the eldest prince. According to normal circumstances, the eldest prince's calm personality would not cause such a gaffe, but Rowan Harvey is the treasurer of the kingdom.
The eldest prince is very knowledgeable about finances, that's why he lost his composure. If Rowan Harvey really did something about the kingdom's finances, it would not be as simple as how many gold coins the kingdom lost.
If anyone else said that Rowan Harvey had treasoned, these princes or princesses would only be slightly surprised, they would not fully believe the news.
However, Su Xiaogang solved the "Assassination Case of the Little Princess", and the terrifying efficiency shocked several princes and princesses, so they could not ignore the information given by Su Xiao.
"Is it reliable?"
The old king spoke. Although he looked calm, this was the first time he questioned whether the information provided by Su Xiao was reliable.
"Rowan Harvey has already escaped from the royal capital. According to my understanding, Rowan Harvey was escorted out of the palace by the undead Eldor, passed through the Fez Canyon, and then arrived in the Supha sea area. After that, Aang Niu River Basin, judging by the time, he is likely to have reached the Nubaha Desert by now, and may even reach outside the Wall of God."
Su Xiao learned about Rowan Harvey's information from Eldo, not only that, he also learned other secrets.
For example, Rowan Harvey is not purely human. He has two-thirds of the blood of the dead and one-third of the blood of the human. Yes, Rowan Harvey is a hybrid, and he is a heterogeneous hybrid.
Most mixed races have obvious characteristics, such as the two little girls in Su Xiao's mansion, Su Xiao has studied two of them, these two people have more human blood, but their pupil color, skin color, etc. have the characteristics of the necromancers , and there are some differences in body shape, such as the length of fingers.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the difference between mixed blood and human needs to be carefully observed, but in the eyes of professionals like Su Xiao, the difference between mixed blood and human is obvious.
Although Rowan Harvey is a mixed blood, he is an extremely rare existence among mixed blood, or it is the first case in history. He has no characteristics of necromancers at all. No matter how you look at it, he is 100% human , or in other words, the blood of the undead was not detectable in his body at all.
At the beginning, the Necromancer also believed that Rowan Harvey was a human being, so his mother was almost exiled because of infidelity, but something changed Rowan Harvey's life, that is, he awakened the dead in his childhood. Spirit power.
You must know that the power of the dead can be acquired or inherited. As a child who is only 2 years old, Rowan Harvey has no conditions for acquiring the power of the dead.
This incident alarmed the high-level necromancers, and they began to study Rowan Harvey, a mixed-breed necromancer.
After some research, the high-level necromancers came to the conclusion that Rowan Harvey was indeed a hybrid, and he was still a hybrid of the necromancers, but his physical characteristics were completely human.
The high-level necromancers immediately realized the value of Rowan Harvey. At the beginning, the high-level necromancers intended to train Rowan Harvey to the side of force. However, Rowan Harvey had limited qualifications. At the age of 10, he showed surprising financial talent.
After decades of operation, at the age of 59, Rowan Harvey served as the financial officer of the Kingdom of San Sordin and was deeply trusted by the old king.
In the chamber, the old king was sitting on the throne, and he squinted his eyes. In his opinion, Rowan Harvey's treason is more difficult than the "assassination of the little princess".
The "Assassination of the Little Princess" has basically come to an end, the mastermind was arrested, and the Necromancers hiding in the capital fled and died. As long as there are no mistakes in the follow-up of this matter, there will be no more problems.
The old king summoned a guard. Ten minutes later, the old king confirmed that Rowan Harvey had fled. The second princess knew about it. Su Xiao learned about Rowan Harvey through the information channel of the second princess. Wei escaped, but she didn't say it, it's not that she didn't want to say it, but she couldn't say it. Something happened on the way she learned the information, and it was something that the old king must never know.
"So far, there have been no financial mistakes."
The old king rubbed his forehead lightly. He was thinking about what Rowan Harvey had done during his reign. There were no financial mistakes. This is the most terrible situation.
Rowan Harvey has fled abroad, and it is basically impossible to capture him back. He must have done something during his reign, otherwise the years of painstaking efforts of the Necromancers will be in vain, and even Rowan Harvey Escaping back to the Necromancers would definitely have no good fruit for him.
"Father."
The eldest prince stood up, his gaze was looking directly at the old king, the old king rested his elbow on the armrest of the throne, pressed his fingertips to his forehead, and rubbed his forehead lightly,?? Did not go to see the prince.
The eldest prince took a deep breath and continued: "Father, I will withdraw from this competition and hand over the financial power of the kingdom to my son. Although I don't know what Rowan Harvey has done, I will find a way remedy."
The eldest prince knelt down on one knee, the radiant smile on his face disappeared, and the only thing left was unwillingness.
If he wants to take over the financial power, the eldest prince must withdraw from this power struggle, otherwise he will have ulterior motives and take advantage of the national crisis to take power, which is absolutely not allowed.
Therefore, the eldest prince chose to give up. Compared with the throne, he looked farther. God knows what kind of time bomb Rowan Harvey left in the kingdom's finances. If the kingdom's economic system collapses, the first bad luck will not be civilians, but Be a soldier on the front line.
Once the wall of gods is broken, it is not a question of the throne, but a question of the survival of all human beings.
""
The old king didn't speak, he just looked at the eldest prince and then at the other princes and princesses.
Sensing the gaze of the old king, the third prince took a step forward and knelt down on one knee: "Father, the sons and ministers are also withdrawing, let me go to the front line, the commander of the Hexlet Army can guard the northwest, and I can Hold the Southwest."
The third prince knelt down side by side with the eldest prince, his fists clenched tightly. He had prepared a lot and sacrificed a lot in order to fight for the throne.
The reason why the eldest prince and the third prince did this is because both of them knew what Rowan Harvey's treason represented.
If the Kingdom of San Sordin is compared to a pyramid, then the top of the tower is the kingship, the next step is the military power, finance, and governance, and the next step is the branch of the three. The three support the kingship. If there is a problem with any link , the royal power may fall directly.
Right now, the kingdom¡¯s finances are fine, but Rowan Harvey is an undercover agent sent by the enemy. This undercover agent has been lurking for so many years. Now that he has escaped, there is still no problem with the kingdom¡¯s economy. This is terrifying. .
"You two, don't you regret it?"
The old king smiled. The eldest prince would do this. He had expected it before. Perhaps it was because of the character of the eldest prince that the old king would give him the 'right to avoid death'. As for the third prince, he did let the old king Quite surprised.
"No regrets."
The eldest prince and the third prince replied in unison, don't think that the two will be brothers, even now, they still don't like each other.
"Okay, that's it."
The old king got up and walked slowly to the outside of the meeting hall. The situation did not show a shocking reversal. For example, the old king directly crowned the eldest prince or the third prince as the throne.
This matter was not an assessment arranged by the old king at all, but that the kingdom really needed the abilities of these two people
