Chapter 1218.1: One-third
Given the current situation, Su Xiao believed that the battle for the throne would end very quickly. The King simply won't let this battle drag on for too long.
If the undead hadn't intervened in this battle and the treasurer hadn't turned out to be an undercover agent, no prince or princess would have been able to sit on the throne in the shortest amount of time.
But the current situation was very special. The first and third princes decided not to fight for the throne, which is why there are only a few candidates left 29.
Among these 29 people, the seventh Prince, second Princess, and sixth princess had the most chances of winning. The remaining 26 candidates were either fooling around, or were quite ambitious, but at the same time incompetent.
The Seventh Prince didn't possess military power and finances, but he could summon a large number of Saint Warriors, which meant that he possessed a huge number of first-class warriors.
If such a person wanted to inherit the throne, then they would eventually take it, however, the seventh prince was too lustful and lazy.
Su Xiao seriously doubted whether he even wanted to become the new king, and it was probably because of this that the king probably didn't choose him as his successor.
If the seventh prince hadn't been fooling around, he would have had a 70% chance of becoming the new king. As for the other princes and princesses, if they choose to stop fighting, they can live on, but if they choose to fight to the end, they will end up being killed.
Although Su Xiao couldn't support anyone directly due to his status, the current situation suggested otherwise.
The undead plan and the hidden financial problems of the kingdom literally forced the kingdom to choose a new strong king instead of conducting a full-fledged battle for the throne.
The king understood this, but even with such introductions, he couldn't directly appoint a new king, as that would make the entire power system unstable.
If Su Xiao understood everything correctly, the king wouldn't have ignored the current situation, he definitely had some plan in mind.
Ending the riots quickly and finding a new king from among his heirs was the best way to resolve the impending crisis.
While Su Xiao was thinking about what he should do next, a royal guard entered the meeting room, quickly walked up to Su Xiao, and whispered something in his ear.
Su Xiao looked a little surprised at first, then nodded.
— This old lion is more ruthless than I thought, " Su Xiao muttered with a smile on his face. The king wanted to end the struggle for the throne as soon as possible. Now that the enemy was standing on the threshold of all of humanity and knocking on doors, it was unwise to pretend that nothing had happened and let their heirs fight for power.
Su Xiao looked at the sixth princess. The second princess, who was sitting at her side, closed her eyes and muttered — " It's not too late to retreat right now?
— You don't need to back down, " Su Xiao said. The king told him to do all the dirty work to speed up the election of a new king.
The king and the top officials of the kingdom were not blind. Everyone knew and saw which princes and princesses were suitable for inheriting the throne and which were not.
The so-called battle for the throne was not a banal roulette game, in which the most successful heir won in the end. Even the luckiest heir wouldn't be able to become the new king without the approval of most of the top officials and the current king.
The fight for the throne wasn't just a test of luck, but a test of the challengers ' skills.
The abilities of the first Prince, the third Prince, the seventh Prince, and the second Princess were known to many and could not be doubted. They possessed all the aspects that were necessary to ascend the throne. As for the non-direct heirs of the king, all those second-tier challengers ... Rowan Harvey had just committed high treason. And where did such a person come from? Who even let him go upstairs? And someone would let this story happen again right now? If one of the undead really becomes the new king, then the kingdom of Saint Sodin will eventually be destroyed.
There was a time bomb hidden in the kingdom's finances, and the undead were already ready to make their move.
In the current situation, it was necessary to choose 1 person not out of 29 applicants, but 1 person out of 4 applicants.
Su Xiao walked up to the sixth princess, and the sixth princess with the mad dog personality narrowed her eyes.
— Iron hand, do you want to kill me? "the sixth princess wasn't stupid. On the contrary, she understood the current situation very well.
— You have one chance, " Su Xiao replied and took out a golden lion pendant. The king did not take it earlier, because the Iron Hand needed the symbol of the king's presence to perform the necessary actions.
The sixth princess looked at the golden pendant, pursed her lips, and then smiled. "I won't back down," the sixth princess replied and stared at Su Xiao. There was nothing but murderous intent in her eyes. In fact, any discerning person would have recognized her as a cold-blooded but not crazy girl.
If she became a part of the Reincarnator Paradise, she would be able to become a famous ruthless girl.
