Chapter 45 Centralizers

"Not only that." Grand Duke Oga chuckled, "After becoming king, Olivia also added a system of the double houses.

You should know that the kingdom assembly system has existed for thousands of years, and before that, the major affairs of the kingdom should be decided jointly by the Grand Duke, the king and the God's envoy.

However, after Olivia became king, she first expanded the number of participants in the Kingdom House from the first 9 to the current 25. Some inferior people with impure blood were also inserted by her, just to expand her voice.

Three years ago, Olivia transformed the House of Lords into the House of Commons. On the surface, the House of Lords has great power, but it is still composed of us grand dukes and other nobles with high power. However, the House of Commons composed of lower-class people has the power to supervise and dismiss the resolutions of the House of Lords.

Oga's lips twitched and he sneered, "Look, is this still Yitnell? The Haoyue Code has almost been changed by a terrible dictator. If this continues, the kingdom will inevitably lead to destruction."

"She is turning the entire Ittenel into her own private property."

Duke Gwen held the cane a little tighter, and pain was revealed in every wrinkle.

"How can such a thing be allowed? Since its founding, the Kingdom of Yitnair has lasted for more than 1,300 years. It has advocated equality and co-governance. The Grand Dukes enjoyed autonomy over their territory. This is also the foundation of our founding. It is the relationship between checks and balances and cooperation that the kingdom has continued to this day."

"What's even more terrifying is that it is not known whether it is because the God Envoy reached some kind of agreement with the king, as Layla said, or because the power of the temple has been greatly weakened, Lord Kalista ignored the king's actions and looked indifferent.

If no one can curb Olivia's ambitions, it will be a matter of time before the destruction of the kingdom will be done."

After explaining this, Robin roughly understood it.

The new king Olivia wanted to conquer the power of the kingdom and become a dictator. This was exactly what violated the rights and interests of the great dukes.

What Oga described just now is so similar to the history Robin learned.

In ancient Rome, in order to become a dictator, Caesar used the same method to expand the Senate and turn most of them into his own pawns, thereby gaining control of the Roman Empire.

At the same time, Caesar established his unique prestige through war and used his ability to firmly control the power of the kingdom in his own hands.

And what's the result?

Emperor Caesar was assassinated by the elders.

History is similar because the invisible wheel is not controlled by people. Its progress will surely crush everything and at the same time make everything surrender.

"So, what do you want me to do?" Robin asked in Oja's eyes.

When he said this, several grand dukes suddenly became quiet.

The interior was silent.

Before this, they were indignant in order to accuse Olivia of depriving the great dukes of their power and destroying the kingdom.

The candlelight swayed, illuminating everyone's face to the darkness.

Their shadows were stretched and projected onto the white walls, appearing mysterious and terrifying.

Robin even had the illusion that the long table was floating on the abyss and was about to fall down at any time.

Fall into the place called hell.

Then everyone in this room will be doomed.

Or go to the exact opposite place.

"Oja. Tell him." Lord Gwen's voice sounded, like a broken wind, old and helpless.

"Okay, if you guys are sure."

Ojia nodded and glanced at everyone.

Everyone remained silent and nodded tacitly.

After gaining recognition from other great dukes, Oga turned around and looked at Robin.

Her hands supported on the table, put them to her mouth, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The white mist filled the air with a misty color.

Robin had a wonderful premonition, and what Oja wanted to say next would make him tremble.

"We," Oja paused, and said with a solemn expression, "I hope you will become a new king and a new messenger."

"What?!"

...

Robin's mouth twitched, "Is this joke too big, right?"

"Kid, we're not kidding you."

Duke Gwen said seriously.

After confirming the expressions on the faces of the grand dudes again, Robin believed what Oga said just now.

"Indeed." Robin nodded, "very attractive."

No matter who it is, being able to control the divine power and the royal power at the same time means controlling the entire kingdom.

"But why?" Robin looked at them in confusion, not daring to accept the fact, "Why me?"

"We will do whatever they are afraid of." Oga's mouth twitched, and the cold breath spread throughout the room, "so instead of letting Olivia ruin the entire country, you might as well become the new king."

"In addition, we have to re-establish a new messenger, the faster the better, after all..." Duke Gwen coughed and said cautiously, "After all, Carista is Olivia's adoptive mother. No matter how opposed their positions are, at least this relationship is forged by time and will not be erased so easily."

"Now you can master the secrets of cultivating the tree of life and also serve as the king. I think if you become the new king, the entire Yitnair will gain unprecedented strength." Duke Aiden added.

In the eyes of the young duke, Robin saw a hint of hidden repression.

That was because of the excited look that was bound for a long time and could not wait to seek relief.

only……

Robin took a deep breath.

He still needs time to digest their proposal just now.

"Maybe what Aiden said is a bit exaggerated. After all, your experience and experience are not enough to bear the burden of the entire kingdom, but..."

Oja glanced at Robin, "At least they think you should be a good king."

"they?"

Robin looked at the other people.

Shalom's eyes were tender, and Duke Gwen had a smile on his face, and Martyda was full of hope for him.

And Aiden looked at him casually, as if she was saying that anyone who became king would agree, as long as it wasn't Olivia.

Oga looked straight at Robin, his green pupils shining with beautiful light.

Robin lowered his head, not daring to look into her eyes.

He was afraid that he would be sucked in by him after a few more glances.

It was like the forbidden fruit in front of him. This proposal was so tempting that it would be hard for anyone to refuse.

But Robin also deeply understands one truth-

There is no free lunch in the world.

These people say it well, but in fact, children can see through this kind of trick. What they really want is to build a puppet.

This puppet must have a certain role and prestige, that's it.
