When Benjamin hurried to the entrance of the palace, he saw the envoys from the two countries standing there, fighting with each other non-stop. The palace guards beside him looked at a loss.
"At this moment, your country specially sent people here. What exactly are you thinking?"
"What are you talking about in a weird way? Our Majesty is the Queen's biological brother. Now that something happened to Ikol, isn't it normal to send someone over to take care of him?"
"Your Excellency is really good at joking..."
Benjamin was speechless and quickly walked over to stop them. When the two messengers saw Benjamin, they had no choice but to shut up one after another, turned their heads, and greeted Benjamin in a fawning manner.
"Okay." Benjamin was too lazy to talk to these people anymore, waved his hand to interrupt them, and then said, "If the two envoys have anything to do, let's come in and talk about it."
When the messenger heard this, he naturally would not object and followed Benjamin to the main hall of the palace.
In the main hall, the president is already waiting there. He had just discussed it briefly with Benjamin, and finally decided to meet with the envoys of the two countries together.
Obviously, the purpose of both countries is the same - to come for Ikol. There are a lot of rumors out there now, including the Queen's death. And if the Queen really dies, according to the law, the two people most qualified to inherit Icol are the King of Carites and the Princess of Freeden.
The Queen's sneak attack on the academy has long been known to the world. There is no doubt that the current chaos in Icol is closely related to the Magic Academy. The two countries had some cooperative relations with the academy before. Therefore, they sent envoys in unison.
Maybe it's to compete for inheritance rights, maybe it's to find out the situation... In short, the intervention of the two countries has made the situation in Ikol more complicated.
But since its establishment, the Magic Academy has been dedicated to cultivating magical talents and not participating in international disputes. After all, he was beaten by someone else this time, and it is understandable to be involved, but if Benjamin shows any bias in this, it will be very bad for the reputation of the college.
Therefore, they could only meet with two messengers.
"I am the president of the Mages Guild. I wonder what important business you two have going to Regina?" After shaking hands with the envoy, the president asked as he stood in the middle of the hall.
When the envoys from the two countries heard this, they looked at each other and seemed reluctant to speak.
"You don't have to worry so much, just ask. I guess when the two countries send people over at a time like this, they probably don't just come here to talk about old times."
After hesitating for a moment, Frieden's envoy asked: "Of course there is a reason. However, please allow me to ask one more question first, what happened to Icol recently? Is Her Majesty the Queen... still alive?"
Hearing this, the president and Benjamin exchanged a look.
"Your Majesty... She was temporarily bewitched by the church and attacked the college. After the failure, she fell ill. Now I will temporarily handle the political affairs of Icol."
"Is that so? How serious is Her Majesty's illness?"
"It's hard to say. His Majesty may not be able to survive, but as long as he survives the most critical moment, he will survive and perhaps regain health."
The president did not finish his words and kept everything ambiguous, just to make it easier to deal with the next unexpected situation. After all... what they will do with Ikol in the future is something they have not yet considered.
At the same time, the envoys wanted to test their situation, and they could also use such words to test the attitudes of the two countries.
"I see." Messenger Frieden nodded and said, "In this case, I mean if, if Her Majesty the Queen passes away unfortunately, you should also make preparations for Icol's future, right?"
…Finally let’s get to the point.
"you mean?"
The envoy thought for a while, stopped beating around the bush, and said in an unusually direct manner: "The old king of the empire wanted to pass the throne to the second prince before he was alive, but it was only later that something unexpected happened and the split happened. In case Her Majesty the Queen dies unfortunately, Fury Her Royal Highness the Princess enjoys the highest right of inheritance. Therefore, we think that Your Excellency should give more consideration to this matter."
Hearing this, the president and Benjamin exchanged another look without saying anything, but the envoy Carrites beside him could no longer hold it in any longer.
"What are you talking about? Who does the old king want to give the throne to? Ten years ago, there was no conclusion to the debate. Today you have come to a conclusion?" He glared at the Frieden envoy and said, "Two The descendants of the prince are still young and cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility. And His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen are brothers and sisters. In times of crisis, they naturally have to share more responsibilities for their biological sisters."
"The eldest prince's political performance is mediocre. The old king did not think highly of him during his lifetime. Now Carites is not necessarily being governed very well. Her Royal Highness the Princess is more worth looking forward to."
"What kind of princess? Are you just a group of old guys who control the government and want to use the royal bloodline to usurp the throne?"
"That's enough! You don't want to spit on others..."
Seeing that the two envoys were about to fight, Benjamin shook his head helplessly. The water element field unfolded, and the wind stirred up by the water vapor pulled the two people far away.
"Please be patient, two envoys." He spoke slowly, "As the dean of the Magic Academy, perhaps I shouldn't speak out on this matter, but after all, Her Majesty the Queen led an army to attack our academy. I have We speak on behalf of the college on this matter.”
The two envoys took a deep breath, calmed down each other, and nodded towards Benjamin.
"That's natural. No one will have any objections to this matter."
Benjamin continued: "In this case, I think this matter needs to be considered in the long term. Her Majesty the Queen is only seriously ill and has not died yet. Even if she is on her deathbed, we should respect her own opinions, right?"
"this… "
"Two envoys, I understand your feelings, but such an important matter cannot be decided hastily today. Please go back first and ask Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Majesty the King not to act rashly. Is that okay?"
Benjamin's intention to delay was already obvious, and it was impossible for the two envoys not to see it. However, they could not speak out against it. After all, even the Queen's army was wiped out in the Magic Academy, and the young mage in front of them had already reached a terrifying level of reputation.
Before sending them out, the upper management of both sides must have specifically told them, "You can't mess with Master Benjamin." Therefore, their attitude towards Benjamin was really unresolved.
"… Since Mr. Master Benjamin has said so, then so be it. However, I think we will continue to pay attention to the safety of Her Majesty the Queen."
In the end, they nodded, a little dissatisfied but helpless and left here. Benjamin looked at their leaving figures and felt relieved.
They had bought some time, and now, they should think carefully about how to deal with the current Ikol.
"I will try my best to search the nobles in the country to see if there is anyone who has the right to inherit." The president said slowly, "It's just... I suggest you not to hold on to too much hope. Even if you find such a person, if Freden With Carrites’ resolute attitude, it will be difficult for us to put that person in position.”
Benjamin nodded: "I understand."
"So... what do you think?"
"Let's stabilize the situation in Icol first." Benjamin said slowly with a solemn expression, "Whether it's Freden or Carites, they are not enemies of the mage in any way. I'm worried now. There is only the church.”
