Chapter 125 Plan
Zijinhua Manor in Shangcheng District.
Covered with snow, the scenery in the manor was dyed white, and Philip sat alone in the empty house, looking at the depressing scene outside the window.
Not long ago, he was the heir of the kingdom who was favored by others. A large number of nobles who supported him gathered around him, and behind him was the giant Oracle Church. He thought he would start his journey of life on the day of the canonization, but who would have thought that unexpectedly came and the next thing would make his life take a sharp turn.
The failed canonization ceremony and the celebration day directly lost the right of inheritance. Overnight, five churches of the Oracle Church collapsed. His strongest backing was completely disintegrated when Abetus's power collapsed, and all Pope Glory and Bishop Norius disappeared. It is said that these people were all killed by Duke Dressel.
The building collapsed, and the people who were originally gathered around him were far away. The bustling manor became deserted in an instant. He even felt that some servants looked at him with a strange look. In the end, he cleared everyone away from the manor, leaving only a close butler and a few confidants.
In a few days his sister is about to become Queen of Elland, and he will miss out with all the glory.
"Your Highness, Prince." A voice behind him interrupted his thoughts, "Prince Charles is here."
"Uncle?" Philip looked strange.
This Prince Charles is the half-brother of his father Fred. Since he can get the title of prince, he is naturally not an illegitimate son. Fred's father has two wives, and this Charles was born to his second wife.
According to Elland's tradition, Prince Charles also has the right to inherit, but in order, it is ranked behind Philip and Charlotte.
A moment later, Philip met his uncle in the living room. The face in front of him gradually merged with his memory. Philip adapted slightly. He even forgot how long it had been since he met this uncle alone.
Charles was tall, had a firm face, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to King Frederi. He had thick hands and feet, and he spoke with confidence, giving people the feeling that a general was more than a prince.
"Poor Philip, you are so haggard." After a simple greeting, Charles went straight to the subject, "Phillip, you should take back your throne!"
"My throne?" Philip looked confused.
"We cannot hand over the fate of Elland to a woman. Don't forget how this country was born. It was our ancestors fighting in the fire of war, relying on war and blood rather than women's belly!"
"Look at what this country is now. That woman has caused a big trouble before she becomes king. If we don't interfere, it won't take long to get Elland to the ground in the rage of the church!" Charles said passionately with a beard.
"But... my father has decided to pass the throne to Charlotte." Philip hesitated.
"In fact, your father was dead, he had died a long time ago."
"What?!" Philip widened his eyes. In order to avoid the news leak, Norrius did not tell Philip the whole truth in his previous plan, so he was shocked when he suddenly heard the news.
"The person on the throne has always been fake. It was Dresel who manipulated all this. He personally helped Charlotte to the throne. Some people even think that Charlotte is not your sister at all, he is Dresel's illegitimate daughter!"
"It's just a rebellion, Dresel is subverting this country in this way!" Prince Charles said in a surprising way.
"Think about it carefully, if Charlotte was really your sister, why did he be fostered in the Duke's Mansion since he was a child? And your father has never paid much attention to him from beginning to end, and her attitude towards you, isn't this enough to tell all this?"
"Is this true?" Philip glared and gasped. The blue veins on his forehead jumped, and infinite grievance and anger surged in his heart. "They took my throne!"
"That's right!" Prince Charles emphasized, "And now that Dresel is dead, Charlotte has lost his greatest backer, we have the opportunity to turn it around, take back your throne, and save this country!"
"But... no one around me supports me." Charles was provoked by him, but soon the cowardly side of Philip's character appeared, and he said hesitantly.
"No, you're wrong, dear Philip, in fact, there are so many people supporting you now than before." Charles said the reason.
"Dressel and Charlotte intensified the conflict with the Oracle Church. They killed the bishop and the glorious pope, and Drexel died in the battle not long ago. This practice would soon attract crazy revenge from the church. By then, Abetus and the entire Eland would pay the price for their foolishness!"
"But Elland does not belong to a certain person. It is Elland of the Elland. Just a simple conflict has caused destruction in several blocks. Nearly a thousand people died in this catastrophe. If the war begins next, more people will die!"
"There are many families in Eland that have roots in it, and we must stop them, overthrow Charlotte's rule, and then ask for peace from the Oracle Church, by then you will not only become king, but also the savior of the entire country."
"Charlotte and Dresel have damaged the interests of too many people, and now these people will stand behind you. Without Dresel, Charlotte and others will be vulnerable. As for Apuliad, although he is a powerful extraordinary person, he is not alone. Can he still kill all of us?"
"Hmph." Prince Charles sneered, "If he did, it would mean that Charlotte would be an absolute tyrant, and our resistance would make sense."
Huhu...
Philip glared and gasped heavily. After a long time he raised his head, "Tell me uncle, what should we do?"
"I have a way to prove that Charlotte is not Fried's daughter, just follow my plan..." Prince Charles showed a meaningful smile, then lowered his voice and talked about his plan.
The firewood crackled in the fireplace in the living room, and the outside of the manor was quiet.
After a while, Prince Charles left Philip's manor. He wrapped his coat tightly and quickly climbed the carriage at the door. A small stove in the carriage raised the temperature of the carriage to the same as that in the room.
When Charles entered the car, someone had been sitting on the side and waiting for a long time.
"Please tell the adult, I have done what he told me." Charles looked respectful, "But there is one thing I must remind you that in this plan, there is a big problem with the correction of Charlotte's identity, and the evidence cannot stand..."
"Charles, this is not what you should consider." The person in charge of delivering the message looked cold, and a white light flashed in his eyes. After a moment, the person in charge looked at Charles again.
"Action as planned."
