What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 216 Two Princes
The ceremonial group in the royal capital was still thirty miles away. Taking advantage of this time, Ke Lin went back to the Mage Tower.

The mage's tower was obviously deserted.

Roman Sagan was still sitting in the study, and it seemed that he would always be in this state.

"teacher."

Colin pushed open the door and walked in with a sense of guilt.

"At this time, I should know that Charlie and Daniel have gone to Xia Ya?" Roman seemed to have been waiting for him.

"They will arrive at the fort soon." Colin said, "Why did the two princes come?"

"There are only a few members of the royal family. Your Majesty cannot leave the capital easily. Is there any problem for the two princes to attend their sister's wedding?"

"But I'm not familiar with them, so I don't know the etiquette to greet them."

"Tessa will solve this kind of thing." Roman said: "Besides, it's not that troublesome. The two of them don't have any titles or fiefdoms, and you are the lord of Xia Ya personally appointed by His Majesty. In terms of status, there is no difference between you two."

It was only then that Colin remembered that because of the implementation of the New Deal, none of the younger generation of the royal family was knighted, and only Veronica had a fief in name.

"Teacher, I'm curious, if one of the princes inherits the throne, what will happen to the other?"

According to the tradition of Tulum, the prince will have another fief and title according to the degree of favor of the king. Once the new king succeeds, he will leave the capital and go to his own fief. In theory, he will no longer be a member of the royal family. Like Duke Violet.

Relatively speaking, the situation in Osik is much simpler. Although the tradition of titles is still retained, the territory and military affairs of the entire empire are in the hands of the young emperor, and Alan IV's reforms are basically the same. Following the route of Osik over the past few decades, it is obvious that the effect is not so fast.

The Western Continent is a completely different model. The position of the head of the principality is not handed down from generation to generation, but is elected. However, those who have the right to vote are limited to the House of Nobles, not to mention the Youlan Alliance. Behind all the elections, there are The influence of the Magic Federation.

"Honestly, His Majesty hasn't thought about this yet." Roman slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and sighed: "If according to the habit of Osik, the prince who does not inherit the throne will live in the capital all his life and be rich and honored all his life, but not There will be no actual rights. What Fairmont did at the beginning was to set an example for future generations, but His Majesty still trusts him and allows him to continue to hold the power."

"Then... Teacher." Colin sneaked his head closer and whispered, "Has Your Majesty decided which prince will succeed you?"

There is no strict primogeniture system in this world. Although Colin is not familiar with the two princes, he has heard of them somewhat. Like any vulgar palace drama, Charlie and Daniel are also fighting openly and secretly in various aspects. It will not stop until Alan IV has no designated heir.

In Ke Lin's view, not continuing the throne is almost equivalent to losing all rights, so even if the old kingdom appoints an heir, the other may not necessarily give up.

"Does this have anything to do with you?" Roman glanced at him with a half-smile.

"Of course it is." Colin said confidently: "I know who is the future king, so I can flatter in advance."

In any case, Xia Ya is still the territory of Tulun, and Colin Wayne is also a subject of Alan IV, and under normal circumstances, he will continue to serve the new king.

Roman was speechless for a while, and after a while, he hit Colin's head with his pipe: "It's really useless."

"Any prince who succeeds to the throne must face two internal problems. One is to stabilize the Duke of Valante, and the other is to ensure the stability of Xia Ya. Therefore, before they actually ascend the throne, they are the only ones to beg you."

"Okay." Ke Lin said in his heart that he can't rely on his future. If flattering can exchange him for hundreds of thousands of gold lang, he would definitely do it without hesitation.

"As for the successor, His Majesty hasn't made the final decision yet." Roman sighed, "It's not that he wants to see the two sons fight, let alone a test. I told you before that Charlie is brave and good at fighting. He has always been in charge of the pirate issue, but he is old-fashioned and honest, while Daniel is quick-witted, but lacks prestige. Both of them can be a conservative king, but what they have to face is Oshick and Youlan The alliance, after all, still has a gap."

Colin can imagine the embarrassment of Alan IV. Neither of his two sons is capable enough to face a strong enemy. In another 20 years, once Roman Sagan's peak period is over, Tulum will lose one of his greatest sons. deterrence.

In this case, whoever is chosen to succeed is more likely to harm someone.

As a father and king, this is undoubtedly a painful choice.

"Teacher, when are you and the Duke leaving?" Colin asked.

"What's the hurry for?"

"About that chaotic night pearl, I have many questions to ask you." Ke Lin said.

In terms of space magic, the only person Colin can discuss with is the teacher, but there is no way to move all the things in the fortress laboratory.

The chaotic night pearl is the biggest breakthrough now, but there is not much progress except for replacing materials.

……

Go back to the fortress.

When Ke Lin came to the study, he saw that the senior sister was still busy at the desk.

"Senior sister, the guard of honor from the royal capital is coming to the fortress soon."

"Oh." The chief assistant didn't care too much.

"It seems that the two princes are also here."

"Come and come." Tessa was still writing furiously.

"But I don't have any experience at all. Do I need to prepare some welcome ceremony?"

"Is it necessary?" Tessa finally looked up.

"This...is a prince after all, so I have to show some face, not to mention that I plan to make Xia Ya a state of etiquette..." Ke Lin said seriously.

"The state of etiquette? Fortress?" Tessa was taken aback.

Since Madeleine's death, the "undisciplined" fortress has been running wildly in deviating from traditional etiquette. There is a young lord who is not polite, and his subordinates are either civilians or orphans. The only Sophia is still responsible for everything except farming. indifferent.

Ke Lin said embarrassingly: "No one in the main fortress understands this aspect, and the teacher asked me to ask you."

Tessa thought for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "It's so simple, didn't they come with the ceremony officials and honor guards from the capital?"

"Yes." Colin was puzzled.

"Then send someone to tell Charlie and Daniel to wait in place for a while, and call the officials of ceremony and the guard of honor to the fort first, and then let them welcome the two princes."

"This...isn't very good." Colin was a little confused for a moment.

"What's wrong." Tessa stood up: "I'll go and say it myself, and see if they dare to disagree!"
