Annan didn't know how much Albert listened to his suggestion.
But he nodded anyway, indicating that he would seriously consider it.
But just as His Royal Highness Albert said... Now in Noah Kingdom, even if he is willing to communicate with Nicholas, Nicholas may not necessarily be willing to communicate with him.
With the expulsion and imprisonment of the Church of the Rotten Man, the Third Prince will inevitably suffer heavy losses—but the Eldest Princess, who is suppressed by the Church of the Rotten Man, will gain a more obvious advantage. In addition, the king's physical condition is getting worse... As time goes by, more and more officials and nobles will fall to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was originally the heir appointed by the king.
The original equilibrium created when the Eldest Princess and the Third Prince confronted each other would collapse in an instant.
Under such circumstances, if the third prince tried to survive, he could only try to form an alliance with him, so as to have the possibility of fighting against the eldest princess.
Of course, Albert would definitely not be willing to form an alliance with him. Because he also knew that the third prince planned to sacrifice not only the old king and the eldest princess, but also such an inconspicuous and low-key prince as him.
But believe it or not, the eldest princess... that's not necessarily the case.
For the eldest princess who was born in the military, regardless of whether it is the Church of the Silver Lord or the Church of the Rotten Man, they are all threats and factors of instability to the Kingdom of Noah—"outsiders" who intend to seek power in the kingdom.
For her, the third prince who is close to the Church of the Rotten Man and the fourth prince who is close to the Church of the Silver Lord are enemies that need to be eliminated and suppressed. And compared with the third prince who was completely out of power, Albert's sense of presence became stronger.
So on Albert's side, after the Church of the Rotten Man lost power, he fell into a desperate situation-the other two royal heirs who had no time to pay attention to him at all, would be hostile to him... trying to kill him.
And when the rotten man church manipulated him as a marionette at will, he was able to live safely and serve as a lubricant for the situation.
If it had been before, Albert could have completely given up the relationship with the Yinjue Church, completely turned to the eldest princess, completely lowered his posture, and asked for his life—yes, because Albert is lazy, not easy to fight, and has no temper With a gentle and timid personality, he can indeed do such a thing.
But things are different now.
Albert learned that his daughter Kafni's current only bond is to inherit the throne...
Even Albert, who knew nothing about the extraordinary world, knew that breaking the spell would cause great harm to the extraordinary. It is even possible to die directly.
Even so, he still didn't have the determination to seize the throne.
I just intend to "go back and have a look before I talk about it".
So he didn't completely sever ties with the Yinjue Church, but he didn't completely fall to the Yinjue Church either.
But after he learned that Annan needed to go to the capital at the end of spring.
But he made a somewhat bold move—
He wanted to leave Cafney in Roseburg for the time being, and go back and have a look first.
"I'm not sure whether the exclusion of the Church of the Rotten Man will all be arrested immediately under a miracle, or they will need to be arrested one by one."
Albert sighed at the time, and said to Annan with some sadness: "If it's the latter, I have every reason to believe... We can't capture all the rotten believers. We can only give priority to controlling those in high positions. Rotten believers."
For example, his wife.
Only now did Albert know why he and his wife had been married for so long but had only one child, Kafni, not even an illegitimate child...
He could even probably guess when his wife began to believe in a rotten husband.
Four and five years after Cafney was born, his wife was obviously pregnant twice, but they all had miscarriages under the careful care of the royal family, and the reason could not even be found. Now it seems that there is only one answer... The root cause is his wife herself.
After that, his wife never got pregnant again. And because of guilt and intolerance, he did not try to remarry another wife.
"But I worry that they'll guess it's about me — I'm almost certain of that."
Albert sighed: "As long as I pay attention, it will be fine to keep myself safe. In the worst case, I will stay in the Royal Church and not go out... But Kafni is different.
"In addition to the church of the rotten man, she is watching her, and those of the Hermes School are also watching her. I may not have the energy to protect her in the royal capital..."
When he said this, he secretly glanced at Bishop Darryl.
Although Bishop Darryl's actions were very subtle, Albert noticed Bishop Darryl's respect for Annan. It's just that he is so smart that he didn't say anything at all.
He had no choice but to keep Cafney in Roseburg for a few months.
To be honest, he is actually not very relieved to leave such a beautiful daughter alone in other places...
After all, he is such a daughter.
But if he doesn't earn the throne, Kafni will probably die in the end; if he tries to earn the throne, Kafni will probably die.
She has only one way to live.
Staying in Roseburg is the safest option.
Bishop Darryl's identity is very mysterious, but Albert knows that he even knew his grandfather—that is, King Noah of the previous generation.
This shows that Bishop Darryl's real age is very old, far beyond the lifespan limit of ordinary people... and he is not a transcendent at all. Bishop Daryl looked like a middle-aged man in his forties.
But this "middle-aged man" was able to come down to Sir Silver himself.
But this kind of him is also very respectful to Annan.
Coupled with Annan's real identity...
Albert's move to keep Cafney here was deliberate.
If he can seize the throne, then he—and the friendship Kafni forged with Annan at this time, will become a friendly relationship between the two countries living in peace after Annan succeeds the Grand Duke.
It is different from the belligerent claims of the current king and the tough tactics of the eldest princess.
Albert, who is closer to the people, can deeply understand... Noah people don't like war, they love peace.
More importantly, in the years after peace, their lives have improved rapidly... This will make them instinctively loathe war.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for the development of the country.
And his father's idea of unifying the five countries and rebuilding the Great Barrier is naturally a good thing...
But the problem is.
Compared with the dark and populous underground federation, the winter people who are accustomed to the long and cold frosty wind in the north, the United Kingdom whose people are tough due to the rampant pirates... and the most technologically advanced Theocracy.
Apart from the most fertile land and the richest metal deposits... what other advantages does Noah's Kingdom have
What did he use to fight them
Doesn't this really make other people realize that Noah is a weak fat sheep
Albert knew deeply: don't get angry easily.
Once angry, it will try to use its true strength. The enemy who was afraid of himself will realize that his real power is nothing more than this.
It is not impossible to unify the five countries. The thing itself also makes sense.
But this war should never be started by them Noahs—
Otherwise, they who occupy the best position may be surrounded and beaten instead.
The old king was indeed a noble man.
He only thought about rebuilding the Great Barrier... but forgot about the greed of others.
And currently only the Duchy of Winter, the Kingdom of Noah and the United Kingdom need the protection of the Great Barrier.
The Underground Federation has adapted to life in the underground world—but the gray mist can't go deep underground.
As for the Theocracy...
The Theocracy and the others have solved the gray fog problem once and for all.
They erected countless towers reaching to the sky - building cities in the sky.
They also have enchantments, but their enchantments are to purify the air at high altitudes so that residents can survive in the sky.
Yes, the fog is not infinite. It has its height limit.
The Underground Federation chose to flee downward, and the Theocracy chose to flee upward... The problem is that they all succeeded.
Even if the gray mist completely buried the above-ground world, it had nothing to do with them.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to support the unification of the five countries.
At present, the Kingdom of Noah has not encountered the invasion of the Holy Kingdom, just because the Holy Kingdom is in the east and they are in the west, spanning the entire continent of Yasland.
...and the Theocracy doesn't have the energy to build another set of floating islands.
They don't think much of the Noahs—or even any other earthlings, that's all.
Albert is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart.
But at the same time he was lazy and a bit timid. He knew in his heart that his character was not worthy of being a king...
However.
—Caffney is different from him.
"Will she be Noah's future queen..."
After Albert left, Annan looked at Kafni who was pulling her sleeve, deep in thought.
It doesn't feel like...
But as things here come to an end.
Annan knew what he should do first:
Yes, he should give rewards to players who "participate in the main mission".
