Alexia's explanation moved Jenkins a little bit, he thought about it, and agreed with this statement. He still doesn't know what the cataclysm at the end of the era was.
It may be a concrete monster, and everything will be safe if it is defeated; but it may also be a plague or even a phenomenon that cannot be realized in kind, which cannot be solved by him alone. For example, he has always wanted to solve the air and pollution problems brought about by the development of the steam industry. Unless he becomes the king of the kingdom, it will be difficult for him to completely solve it even if he is the Son of God.
"You are impressed by me."
Seeing that Jenkins was silent, Alexia smiled and said:
"You are thinking about what I said. Although you are reluctant, you also admit in your heart that it makes sense."
Jenkins looked at her, and just about to open his mouth, he heard Alexia continue:
"You want to say that you will fully support Dolores in winning the crown, so that you will have enough rights around you. But have you ever thought about it? The disaster that affects the whole world can only be resisted by the power of one country According to what you once said, you should unite all forces that can be united, unite all friends who can be united, and face the unknown future together. I think it makes sense for you to become a savior, and it is difficult to find out like Like you, both religious and secular, you are qualified to aspire to the top power."
The short lady completely guessed what Jenkins was thinking. Seeing Jenkins' thoughtful expression, she said again:
"Actually, you don't have to think about this right now. After all, whether you can really get the crown is still completely uncertain. In my opinion, instead of thinking about your crown, you should consider Dolores's crown. If If you don't come today, I will go to you. Dolores' father asked all the children to go to the palace to discuss politics on Monday, and each person is allowed to bring an adjutant. I think this requires you to appear."
"Are you sure you want me to go? I don't know much about Dolores' government affairs."
said Jenkins, and looked to Dolores to ask her thoughts.
"It must be you. I can tell you everything I can do, and you need to tell me what I can't do."
Her Majesty said, seeing that Jenkins was still puzzled, Alexia reminded:
"It means that your usual 'wonderful ideas' are now useful. Maybe you haven't even noticed how important knowledge you have."
In this way, matters related to the throne of Fidetictli were never mentioned again that night.
(Chocolate is running... )
After leaving Blacktown, Jenkins noticed that chocolate was getting weird. It's not that the cute cat has become less cute, but that the cat has become more willing to be close to Jenkins.
In fact, the previous chocolate was already a model among domestic pets, but for some reason, after Jenkins left Blacktown, he always felt that the relationship between chocolate and himself had been further improved.
"No, now I have a fiancee who has been privately appointed for life, why do I still have such an illusion?"
Jenkins, who woke up from the church room, thought of this, tilted his head and looked at the cat lying next to the pillow, trying to read the cat's thoughts from its sleeping face.
Today is Friday, and at the invitation of the Pope, Jenkins will attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the inauguration of the cemetery. Although it may sound strange to cut the ribbon for this kind of facility, it is also a very important thing. People in this world also pay attention to their own affairs.
While riding out of the city with Ponteve IV in a carriage, Jenkins, who was preoccupied, thought of one thing. In the originally spacious compartment, there was only the sound of flipping books, and a question from Jenkins completely broke the moment of tranquility:
"The church... has long known that our family is actually related to the Middleton family?"
Jenkins was absolutely right. After he asked a question, the old pope's hand holding the book suddenly trembled, which is rare for this tough old man.
"You knew already?"
Pontov IV was silent for two seconds, put down his book and asked.
"Yesterday I figured it out for some reason. I figured out why I appeared in Beldylan at this point in time. I thought you wouldn't admit it."
"Jenkins, you are the holy son of the sage. I can't lie to you if I lie to anyone. This is disrespectful to the sage. Yes, the relationship between the William family and the Middleton family was actually not long after you joined the job last year. , We found out when we did the usual background checks that you were not the Holy Son at that time, but this still surprised us, after all, there were already signs of succession to the throne at that time."
The old man's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was calm.
"So, what is the church's attitude?"
The carriage bumped a bit, but apart from making the cat let out a dissatisfied cry, it only made the lamp in the carriage start to shake. Jenkins' face was bright and dark because of the flickering lights.
"The cardinals discussed it, and we wrote to your father, Robert Williams, who was the head of your family after all. Before you knew it, he came to Belduran Had a close talk with me and we got an answer that everyone was happy with."
The old man closed the book, and his old eyes looked at Jenkins' bright and dark eyes. Both of them have a firm will, and they also have their own beliefs and determination:
"We agree that if the royal family does not have a suitable heir, it is in the interests of the country, the church and your family to let William, who has blood and legal principles, take a step forward."
"So who did you choose?"
Jenkins asked.
"Saint William, is there a second candidate who is more suitable than you?"
Pantov IV asked, seeing that Jenkins was silent, he asked again:
"Or, in fact, you don't want to take the crown?"
If it was this time yesterday, Jenkins probably admitted without hesitation that he didn't have that idea. But after being enlightened by Alexia in Loen yesterday, he didn't know what choice he made was the most correct.
"Sure enough, when your father talked to me, he said that you might object to this decision. He didn't think you were a person who was passionate about power. Unwilling to take on any responsibilities beyond one's own daily life."
"He's right."
Jenkins nodded and admitted that the original owner and him were very different in character, but they were very similar in this point alone.
"But we don't need to worry. Everything is still undecided. What kind of decision the queen of the royal family will make in the end is actually the most critical. But I think you should foresee one thing, St. Williams, if the queen is willing Let you take the crown, will you refuse her?"
