"...Thank you all for coming to my father's funeral. His whole life..."
As the heir to the kiss, Fleming took on the responsibility of presiding over the funeral of the old King Dai Zeer, walked to the front stage and began to deliver a speech. This is also the intention of Sunak and several other veterans, in order to show everyone that Fleming is the orthodox successor and solidify his foundation.
But before Fleming could finish what he said, someone below sneered, which was extremely harsh. Everyone quietly turned around and looked sideways, but the human who made the sound had already calmly walked to the front desk. It was Fleming's half-brother. Brother Prince Hussein.
"Whether it's based on age or legal principles, it's me, the eldest son, who should be the one to preside over the funeral for my father today. Even if it doesn't work, you should also discuss it with me. We brothers can preside over it together. This is in line with our kingdom. Ethics."
Since Hussein had made up his mind to get involved in the competition for the throne, there was no way out from the day he left his fief.
"Your Highness Hussein!!"
Sunak stood up in time and with a dissatisfied tone blocked Hussein's pace: "Today is His Majesty's funeral. Regardless of any conflicts between you brothers, I hope you can postpone it. Don’t let outsiders see the joke!!”
"I have always respected you, Prime Minister Sunak. Thanks to your teachings when I was young, I have the knowledge and abilities I have now. But since your father passed away until now, you have never asked for my opinion. I asked my brother to preside over today’s funeral. Have you ever cared about me?”
"Am I not the direct bloodline of my father? Is my identity as the eldest son of the king false?"
The grievances and resentments that have been accumulated in the heart for many years can finally be expressed with such sincere words. Even the old foxes such as Sunak, who is very rich in the city, can't help but frown. Other dignitaries who participated in the funeral and The faces of the courtiers were more or less moved.
"That's right!! My father doesn't just have his second brother. As a daughter, I also want to fulfill my filial piety. Prime Minister Sunak, don't you want to stop me?"
Princess Diana, who was rarely dressed more simply, stood up and showed her presence.
Compared to her two brothers, Diana was naturally at a relatively disadvantaged position as a woman. Even in these years, everyone could see that the princess was very favored, and various gifts were never cut off every year. However, among ministers and dignitaries, In their minds, men still have an advantage over women.
"Your Highness, Wei Chen does not mean this."
Sunak replied in a deep voice: "If your two highnesses really want to express their condolences to His Majesty, you can wait until His Highness Fleming finishes his speech and then go up one after another. There is no need to argue about this matter."
"hehe."
Diana took the initiative to stand next to Hussein, covered her mouth and smiled lightly, obviously not paying attention to Sunak's words: "Then let's go to the stage and wait, and please let me go, Prime Minister."
Sunak's eyes shot out with lightning. If it weren't for the presence of many ministers and guests, he would probably really kill this spoiled and arrogant princess. However, today's situation is really special. Even if it was to protect Dai Ze who died, For the sake of Your Majesty's face, he can only hold back for now.
And he has been paying attention to the movements of the visitors around him. One thing that makes him very concerned is that Bishop Glinton, the highest authority of the War Church in Lion Heart City, did not show up today. Even the War Church did not send an envoy. Attending a funeral has a lot of meaning.
Even if the War Church has suffered a big change, which has caused confusion among their senior officials, it is impossible for Glinton and the powerful people in the Lionheart Kingdom not to send people to watch the funeral and say goodbye to King Lionheart.
Moreover, the death of Pope Lis was inextricably linked to the Church of the Victims. With old and new hatreds intertwined, it was impossible for the War Church to let the Church of the Victims go without a good fight with them.
Sunak is already making plans for the next step. If the senior leaders of the Church of the Sufferers are still unwilling to give in, then they, the veterans, will have no choice but to take the risk and ask Glinton to come forward to crown Fleming. Even if we do this, there will definitely be many ministers and dignitaries who will not admit it.
, but in special times, they can only keep everything simple. As long as Fleming can be helped to that position first and can legitimately control the power of the kingdom, then they will still have the capital to continue fighting against the Church of the Victims.
Otherwise, if the Church of the Crucifixion and these two His Highnesses continue to cause trouble, the longer it goes on, the greater the damage will be to the authority of the Kingdom.
Today's funeral for King Daizel is also a great opportunity to meet with Glinton. Because of the assassination of Pope Lis, all the personnel of the War Church in Lionheart City went to the west to receive Lis' body. At the same time, the victims The church also quietly mobilized and put strict precautions against Sunak and other important officials of the kingdom, making it very difficult for Sunak and the others to secretly meet with Glinton.
But what I didn't expect was that Glindo did not come to attend the funeral, which was a bit strange.
"Your Highness, please be careful in your words and actions."
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, but Sunak finally made a concession. He couldn't let outsiders wait like this and let them see the discord between the royal family and the ministers.
"We know it well."
Princess Diana left a few words arrogantly, passed Prince Hussein directly, and walked to the podium in front.
Fleming's face remained normal, as if he didn't mind that his brother and sister were making such a fuss, but a faint cold light kept wandering in the depths of his pupils. After the two of them stood on the stage, he began to speak again: "... passed away. The past has passed, and the great trust placed by my father has weighed heavily on my heart. I am very afraid that I will live up to my father’s expectations. But as a son, I am more willing to dedicate my life to my father’s last wish. Here I also hope that all the members of the Kingdom Pillars, can we carry on my father’s legacy and fight together for the future of our Lion Heart Kingdom!!”
"...This is a dangerous era. The clarion call of war has sounded in our ears. If everyone cannot unite at this time, then the lessons learned from the Spring Kingdom may be the end of our kingdom."
"...May the bravery of the lions of my kingdom be passed down for thousands of years, may my father's soul return to the stars in the sky, and may the light of hope shine on my subjects!!"
"Lion!!"
"Lion!!"
Fleming's speech was very contagious, making all the courtiers feel emotional. However, when it reached the ears of some people, it was somewhat harsh, because there was not a single word in his entire speech that involved gods and beliefs. , even deliberately quoting the disaster of the Spring Kingdom's subjugation, it is also intentional, and the profound meaning is self-evident.
