The sky in Alterac is sunny, and the people of Alterac love it.
When bonfires were lit in camps scattered around the countryside and the night sky lit up, Alex woke up quietly. He was really exhausted these days, with the endless intrigues, endless promises, and endless prevarications. Even in his prime, Alex couldn't hold on.
But when it comes to Alterac's crown, you have to hold on even if you can't hold it back.
It is not a big secret within the kingdom that the queen cannot give birth to a son. It is not a big secret that Jerio Perenold's biological mother is Aiden's biological sister. It is not a big secret that Aiden has several illegitimate children. Big secret. But they have no inheritance rights.
To put it more bluntly, in the eyes of the nobles, an illegitimate child is already giving you face by keeping you alive, and you still want to ask for the inheritance from your father. You are tired of living.
According to the custom passed down from the Arathor Empire to this day, it is your ability for a noble to have a mistress, but you can only have one wife. How the son born from his wife divides the family property is something that the parents can decide. What an illegitimate child wants to get depends on the character of the father and the ability of the mother. In terms of inheritance rights, the mistress's nephew also had a higher priority than the illegitimate son.
Moreover, if the woman is divorced without fault, she can get half of the man’s property.
In Lordaeron, it is not a fault to have no heirs. If you love her, you must love her till you have no descendants.
So our King Aiden's hair will turn gray. If he cannot reach an agreement with the nobles of the country, then the crown of Alterac will belong to someone else after his death.
Because this is how the crown of Lordaeron fell to the Menethil family.
"Father, you are awake."
When Alex's eyes adjusted to the light of the candle, he found his son sitting at the small desk by the window, reading.
"looking at what."
""Royal Bloodline Map"."
"Did you find anything?"
"Father, Sir Willomar, General Odrun, the new king will be chosen from the three of you."
Alex smiled with satisfaction.
"Willomar is heavily in debt. If he cannot repay the debt of 2,000 gold coins next summer, he will not be able to keep his title as baron."
"Where's General Odrun?"
"He's also a pauper."
Carlos smiled and congratulated his father, but Alex smiled and shook his head.
"Carlos, the obstacle from the beginning has not been Willomar and Aldren."
"Our King?"
"Yes, we all know that it is impossible for him to have another son with the queen, but we all have to not know. Do you understand what I am saying?" Alex asked his son.
His father's words reminded Carlos of a classic saying about Iraq by the United States Secretary of Defense in his previous life, and he decided to apply it.
"Everyone is very interested in some things about the king. Because we know that there are known things in the world, which means that there are things we know that we know, and we also know that there are things that are known in the world. Unknown things, which means there are things we know we don’t know. At the same time, there are unknown things we don’t know in the world, which means we don’t know we don’t know.”
"Little fox, hahahaha." Alex was stunned for a long time and couldn't help but laugh. What he said was really interesting.
"So father, will you get that crown in the future?" Carlos asked.
"It's not sure yet. This gathering was apparently to discuss revenge against the trolls, so everything was done under the table. There was no result from the discussion for months. His Majesty Ayden even started selling royal property. We have raised funds, but we still don’t know who will be the final winner. Carlos, I warned you, politics is always full of compromises, and real interests are interests. If the price is too high, giving up is also a good choice." Alex was not blinded by the crown and still educated his son rationally.
It's a pity that Carlos couldn't tell his father that receiving the inheritance would almost change half of the family's tragic future. Terenas can exile the Alterac nobles who rebelled against the Alliance, and can confiscate the fiefdom of Count Alex Barov, but he can never confiscate the fiefdom of the royal heir, because Terenas is only a king, not an emperor. . Not to mention that if Alex gets the right to inherit the throne, he can take over the throne when Aiden betrays the alliance, without giving Terenas a chance to get angry.
If you miss this village, there won’t be this shop. If there is an easy difficulty level, please don’t challenge the hell difficulty level, okay? Carlos was anxious inside, but his tone was extremely relaxed: "King Aiden wants to compete with his father for financial resources? I have heard a saying that a problem that can be solved with gold coins is not a problem."
"Yes, winning the support of the domestic nobles is just a matter of money. In the end, it depends on what price Perenold can offer Barov." Alex's eyes revealed the greed of a prehistoric giant.
No matter how mature Carlos is, it is not his turn to intervene in major matters related to the succession of the throne. After living for fourteen years, he does not know where his Lord Kesdal is.
With nothing to do, Carlos began to hang out in various military camps, competing with the knights in martial arts, winning and losing, losing more and winning less, which allowed him to fully understand the fighting power of human beings.

From the two new attributes added to the system, Carlos found that he had underestimated the time travel. This attribute system seemed to have something worth exploring. But without going through the coming-of-age ceremony, you can't choose a combat profession. There is no professional attribute bonus, and you can't see more things. You should continue to study hard.
