Seeing that Luka had a grimace and didn't speak for a long time, Naledo couldn't help but laugh twice, then waved his hands gently.

"Stop being so sentimental. They are a bunch of old foxes who are better than each other. The so-called support is just some limited help. They will not directly take sides."

"That's it..." Luka breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"In short, our current situation is not particularly bad. After the new trade agreement is negotiated, these domestic chambers of commerce should choose to fully support me. But I am more curious about your opinion." Naledo said calmly He said, then crossed his hands and put his chin on his head and looked at Luka.

"What do you think I should do if I want to seize the throne?"

"Your Highness, how could I know this..."

Luka waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this, and a little sweat could not help but break out on his forehead.

As a person who has received a formal education in history, he knows very well that no matter where in which country it is, the fight for the throne is the bloodiest and most brutal struggle.It’s better not to get too involved in this kind of thing.

With his own strength, not even any larger noble family in the kingdom can do it. Instead of thinking about how to help Naledo win the throne, it is better to think about how to prepare to run away.

"Really? Or are you scared and wondering how to escape?" Naledo stared into Luka's eyes with a smile, his beautiful eyes seemed to be able to see directly into people's hearts.

"If you want to run away, I won't stop you, but you have to be prepared. After all, it will be fun to watch you evade pursuit~"

"No, I have absolutely no such thoughts."

Looking at Naledo's seemingly beautiful, but actually comparable to a devil's smile, Luca could only wave his hands repeatedly to express that he had absolutely no intention of escaping.

Based on his understanding of Naledo, since this "His Royal Highness" has said this, if she escapes at that time, she will definitely do it, and she will have a way to reveal her whereabouts.

"In that case, you can just say what you think. I won't be angry." Naledo still stared at Luka with no intention of relaxing.

Luka was really frightened by what he saw, so he could only quickly use his brain, briefly recalled the various situations he knew, and then said.

"Your Highness, if, I mean if, if His Majesty the King were asked to choose someone to succeed him, without considering other factors, who do you think His Majesty would choose?"

"Well..." Naledo narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this, put his finger on his lips and thought for a moment before saying.

"If you don't have to consider other issues, the old man will definitely choose me. After all, he asked me to hide my gender and become the prince because he wanted me to inherit the throne."

"In this case, the matter will be easier to handle." Luka breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Since Naledo said this, it proved that at least the king was on her side, but was forced by other factors to not directly appoint her as his heir.

In other words, as long as Naledo can solve these problems in the future, she can be successfully designated as the heir, and there is no need to compete at all.

"In that case, I want to know why His Majesty the King has not officially designated a successor to the throne?" Luka looked at Naledo and asked.

"Well, it's probably because there is no other way."

Naledo gave a rare sigh and then explained.

"The eldest brother led 6000 people to defeat the attack of the country's [-] troops three years ago. His prestige in the army is not low. The second brother is very good at managing internal affairs. The civil servants are basically on his side. The old man should be I'm worried that if I are allowed to inherit the throne, the two of them will definitely cause trouble, and I don't have much prestige, so I won't be able to convince the public."

"But thanks to you this time, I should be able to get all the chambers of commerce in the country to come to my side, and I have a basis to compete with them." Naledo said, praising Lucca, and his words It is full of appreciation.

"Your Highness has commended you. Even without me, as long as you gradually expand your prestige and influence and rely on His Majesty's support, it will not be difficult to inherit the throne in the end..." Luka said very modestly, but he was accepted as soon as he finished speaking. Ledo interrupted with a smile.

"Damn it, it's useless for you to say this. The old man only has two months left to live at most. It's too late~"

"what?"

Chapter 84 Lady Funya

Hearing this, Luka fell into confusion again.

Although he had an impression that Naledo had said that the king was seriously ill, he never expected that the situation had become so serious.

We only have two months to prepare, so we can just run away.

"You're not thinking about escaping again, are you?" Naledo frowned and asked in a low voice when he saw Luka being silent again.

"No, absolutely not. Just like there is only one sun in the sky, there is only one sun in my heart, Your Highness." Luka hurriedly patted his chest and said seriously.

"My mouth is good at talking, so just come up with an idea~" Naledo couldn't help laughing twice after hearing Luca's words, and then directly tapped his chest with his foot.

Luka knew that it would be difficult to leave today if he didn't come up with an idea, so he could only bite the bullet and speak.

"If that's the case, His Highness still has to strike first."

"You mean you want me to take action against the eldest brother and the second brother?" Upon hearing this, a fierce light flashed in Naledo's eyes for a moment, and he raised his body and leaned forward to stare at Luka.

"There is nothing you can do about it, Your Highness. It is better to let others bleed than to bleed us." Luca continued while enduring Naledo's tortured gaze.

"If we don't take some extraordinary measures, we won't be able to defeat the two eldest princes and second princes based on our strength alone."

"You mean you want me to take action against the eldest brother and the second brother?" Naledo laughed when he heard this.

"I'm afraid this can't be done. The two men under them are stronger than me in terms of strength and numbers. I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat me even in a surprise attack."

"What if you only need to deal with the eldest prince and the second prince himself?" Luka raised his head and his eyes met with Naledo's.

"Interesting, how do you plan to do this?" Naledo was now intrigued by Luka and immediately asked excitedly.

"His Highness's biggest disadvantage now is that he is the weakest, but this is also His Highness's advantage. Because neither the eldest prince nor the second prince will regard His Highness as their primary competitor." Luka said slowly, and then placed his fingers on the table. A circle was slowly drawn on it.

"So if Your Highness goes to tell His Majesty the King that you want to act as an intermediary to mediate the conflicts between the eldest prince and the second prince, and invite them to a banquet in the palace, no one will refuse, right?"

"The old man will definitely agree, and the eldest brother and the second brother will also sell me this face." Naledo nodded after hearing this.

"Since you, Your Highness, have no way to practice, and His Majesty's palace is forbidden to bring guards, they must go alone. As long as Your Highness has an ambush and manpower there in advance, this matter will be easy to handle."

"The only problem is that, Your Highness, you have to find a way to deal with the palace guards." Luka explained very seriously.

"I'm afraid this is difficult, and the old man also has feelings for the eldest brother and the second brother. If I really kill them, the old man might be angry to death." Naledo, who has always had a cheerful attitude, was hesitant at this moment. stand up.

"So what? Your Majesty is seriously ill now and only has three heirs. If you kill the eldest prince and the second prince, no matter how unwilling he is, he will have no choice but to let you succeed. Besides, your Majesty is already partial to you."

"But I'm just providing a plan. It's up to you, Your Highness, to decide whether to use it or not."

After saying that, Luka turned around and left the room.

And Naledo didn't say anything to stop him. He just lay quietly on the sofa with his eyes closed, seeming to be carefully thinking about Luka's proposal just now.

"Is it better to strike first..."

……

What surprised Luca was that since the last time he told Naledo about the plan copied from the Xuanwumen Incident, Naledo didn't see him again for three or four days, and he didn't even ask for a daily massage. There he went.

But Luka doesn't care about this situation. After all, his daily job as a guard is basically to pour tea and massage for Naledo. Now he is fine and has completely entered the wonderful life of paid leave.

The trade negotiations conducted by Naledo also started as scheduled. Since Ruka had "fixed" the other party's representatives in advance, the entire negotiation process went extremely smoothly and successfully reduced the tax rate by two points, even exceeding the initial level. Original goal.

Such a huge success made Naledo famous in the kingdom, successfully expanded her influence many times and won the support of major domestic chambers of commerce. She was originally only famous for her beauty and successfully entered the competition for the throne. The ranks.

After a leisurely week of paid leave, Luca finally received news from Naledo again.

But what made him feel a little confused was that Naledo did not meet him directly, but only sent someone to deliver a letter.

What made Luka even more surprised was that there was no letter of instructions in the envelope, only a letter of recommendation with a seal.

"The Royal Knights Academy?"

Looking at the information on the recommendation letter, Luka just felt confused.

Not to mention anything else, why would you give me a letter of recommendation from a knight academy when you are a magician? Is this asking you to change your profession?

Regarding his physical condition, Ruka is still very good at it.

Although this body's magical talent is not high, its talent as a warrior is even less impressive.

"Ilin, come here and take a look at this." After thinking for a moment, Luka decided to ask Yilin to come over and take a look. As a former noble swordsman, she should know what the Royal Knights Academy is like.

After hearing this, Yilin, who was helping to clean the house, put down her broom and trotted directly to Luka and took the recommendation letter from Luka's hand.

After many days of transformation by Luca, this young lady who was pampered since childhood has now learned to do various housework and has become much more humble.

"Letter of recommendation? Luca, are you going to study at the Knight Academy, and will you be taught by Lady Funia herself?"

After taking the letter of recommendation and looking at it twice, Erin's eyes widened with an incredible look on her face.

"Lord Funia?" Luka felt like he had some impression of the name, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"Lady Funya is the commander of the royal palace's guards, and also the honorary dean of the Royal Knights Academy. She is the strongest swordsman in the kingdom. I was lucky enough to receive her guidance when I was young." Erin slowly explained. .

Chapter 85 Ready to go

"Wait, who did you say she was? The commander of the palace guard?"

Luka keenly captured the key information halfway through Yilin's explanation, and then interrupted her speech to ask.

"That's right, Lady Funya is currently serving as the palace guard commander... Is there any problem?" Erin nodded.

"It's not surprising. It looks like I'm going to go to some kind of Royal Knights Academy." Luka took the letter of recommendation back into his hand and put it into his clothes.

When Luka proposed to Naledo the plan to trick the eldest prince and the second prince into the palace before, Luka specifically mentioned that the most critical part of completing this plan was to get rid of the palace's imperial army.

Now that Naledo has sent such a letter asking him to study under the commander of the Forbidden Army, there is no need to guess what that means. He must be asked to find a way to deal with her.

She doesn't want to see her these days, and she is probably making up her mind and making various preparations. After all, she is going to do something to her two brothers, and the psychological pressure will definitely not be small.

"Go to school...Master, are you planning to rely on this letter to enter the Knight Academy and then get close to Funia?"

"That's right, since His Highness Naledo sent me this, her meaning is obvious. She wants me to get close to and get rid of this Forbidden Army Commander. After all, her position is indeed too critical." Luka replied calmly. .

Listening to Luka's words, Yilin looked a little surprised at first, but then frowned with worry on her face.

Because of the system, Luka was not worried that the girls would betray him, so he told them the previous conversation with Naledo. Erin could naturally guess what Luka was going to do.

"Master, I must remind you that Funia is very strong. You must not make her suspicious or conflict with her." Erin looked at her and said in a very serious tone.

"How strong?" Luka became curious after hearing this. After all, Erin said that she had been taught by Funia, so she should have a very good understanding of the opponent's strength.

"how to say……"

After hearing this, Yilin lowered her head and was silent for a while, then she pursed her lips and said.

"I only received training from Funya for a period of time when I was a child, but she was already very powerful at that time. She had just reached the master level and was on par with my father in sparring. Now she is recognized in the kingdom. The most powerful swordsman, unless he is a master or above, is probably no match for her."

"Is that so..."

Listening to Yilin's words, Luka couldn't help but feel worried.

What is the concept of master-level strength? According to the books he has read, the average dragon has a relatively strong master-level strength when it reaches adulthood. And this is Funya, who was on par with Erin's father many years ago. The strength can definitely be called a humanoid dragon.

In front of a girl of this strength, if he accidentally made her angry, he would probably be slapped to death.

"Master, if you really want to go, I can accompany you... My relationship with her is pretty good." Yilin volunteered and said that she could go with Luka.

"Do you think your current situation is suitable?" Luka listened to Yilin's words and shook his head silently.

Although after many days of training, Yilin's original bad character has been changed and she has completely and sincerely obeyed, but outsiders don't know this at all.

In the eyes of others, Luka should be forcing Yilin to do something every day to vent his desires after defeating Yilin and taking her as a slave. If Yilin is really allowed to follow him, the effect is likely to be counterproductive.

"Don't worry, I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, forget it. We can just run away then." Luka reached out and touched Yilin's head, making the latter blush slightly and moan in pleasure. .

Although Naledo had issued a threat, Luka did not completely give up the option of escape. Instead, he arranged for Tyanna to find a way to help him prepare for escape after following the mission back to the Business Alliance. He already had a clue.

When the situation gets really bad, even if you risk being betrayed, you still have to run away, which is better than waiting to die.

"Then I won't go, but Master, you'd better be careful. My teacher Funya has a very weird character, which can even be said to be willful... You must pay attention." Erin, who was being touched on the head, added One sentence.

capricious?

"Well, I see."

Luka didn't think much after listening to Yilin's words, but what he didn't know at the moment was how terrible things he would face next.

……

Four days later, in front of the gate of a splendid college in the Nancheng District of the royal capital, Luka adjusted his appearance again in the small mirror he carried with him, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he walked in with a high head.

At this time, he was dressed in a gorgeous fiery red aristocratic costume. His short black hair was trimmed neatly without losing the beauty. He had a magic sword bought at a large price on his waist. Even the boots under his feet were made of Warcraft fur and gold-plated. The high-end goods look like a noble young master.

Originally, Luka didn't like this kind of aristocratic dress that was too elaborate and was extremely troublesome to wear. However, because Irene insisted that Funia was a person who paid great attention to etiquette, if she didn't dress like this, it would lower the other party's first impression. Ka could only ask Yilin to help him put on this outfit.

After passing through the square where many people were training, Luka entered the academy and walked up to the fourth floor, then slowly knocked on the innermost door.

As the door was opened, a majestic and resolute female voice came into Luka's ears.

"Are you Luka Bigdik?"

Behind the door, a tall black-haired woman glanced at Luka with sharp eyes and asked in an indifferent tone.

Although the other party did not show any hostility, Luka felt an inexplicable chill in his body, as if he was being watched by a giant beast that covered the sky and the sun.
