Chapter 541: Madness

After Luoning and Lulansi exchanged a few jokes, they sat down to seriously discuss the situation they were about to face.

Although this world does not have the saying "a country cannot go a day without a monarch," it does have such a consensus.

Although the Auduin Kingdom currently has no king or male heirs, electing a new king will likely be the most important matter going forward.

Generally speaking, this matter is relatively easy to handle; after all, Bruno still has a daughter, so one could simply let the eldest daughter inherit the throne.

But now there is Luoning, a Legendary powerhouse rarely seen in centuries, and crucially, he is the husband of Bruno's youngest daughter and the key person who captured the Crown Prince.

This makes many people, when making a choice, need to consider whether they would offend Luoning if they chose the eldest Princess Xuelun.

Many people are quite concerned about what Luoning's attitude is.

Lulansi knows that Luoning wants to be king, but he also understands that it is not very appropriate to push Luoning forward at this time.

Although Jialete's patricide and betrayal are set in stone, if this matter ends with Luoning becoming king and the biggest beneficiary, it will inevitably lead to suspicion behind his back.

But if the Auduin Kingdom is handed over to Xuelun, if the kingdom Luoning builds wants to develop further in the future, conflicts will inevitably occur, and he could still be called an ambitious person or a traitor.

Fortunately, it would be better to take this opportunity to resolve this hidden danger.

The two exchanged thoughts for Along while, and Lulansi smiled: "Necessary movements are still needed; even if we don't push you to the top, at least we should avoid pushing the eldest Princess Xuelun to the top directly."

"Then I will trouble you with this matter, Grandfather."

Luoning expressed his agreement and simultaneously asked: "How is the situation at the border? Meilongnika alone is probably not enough; perhaps I should transfer Maiken back."

Besides Andeliya, the Vila Principality also has Silver Moon Knights. Meilongnika is only at the Meteor level; although he has mastered the "Fire Dance Thunder Strike Slash" secret technique created by Lulansi and can threaten Silver Moon Knights, that is only in a one-on-one situation.

"Only a few squads have come to harass the border; it does not constitute a major threat."

Speaking of this, the corners of Lulansi's mouth could not help but curl up.

Andeliya was killed by his grandson, a matter that made him very, very happy.

The grudge he had suppressed in his heart for decades was finally repaid.

"Andeliya is dead, and the Vila Principality will inevitably fall into internal strife; I estimate that no one there can organize manpower to attack us at this time."

Lulansi analyzed: "I estimate that the most urgent thing they need to do now is figure out how to withstand the coming reckoning, right?"

Luoning thought of one thing after hearing this.

"It is a fact that Feilunsi and Andeliya colluded with alien races and betrayed the King. However, the Fleming Family on Screaming Island only followed the Crown Prince; there is no evidence to prove they participated in the assassination of His Majesty. In terms of punishment, it should not be enough to revoke their territory and noble titles."

A cold glint flashed in Luoning's eyes. This family had once assassinated him, and after he became the Torrent Island Baron, they had made moves against him many times. Now that there is an opportunity, he naturally will not let it go.

"I think the Screaming Sea should not have an overlord, but rather should allow the ships of all nobles to pass freely."

Lulansi laughed, "I understand. This should be a small matter; after all, nobles of all sizes on both sides of the Screaming Sea are more or less dissatisfied with the Fleming Family."

Mailun is a noble, but he is also a pure businessman.

Ever since his father, Count Aifangsuo, handed the Fleming Family over to Mailun to manage, he has been able to use any means and has dared to use any means to expand his business and earn more money.

This point can be seen from his methods against Luoning.

Now that he has given the nobles such a big handle, no one will let him off.

While the two were talking, Carolina knocked on the door and entered.

"Marquis, Duke, Count Yiben of Shuangfeng Ridge has brought his wife, the eldest Princess Xuelun, to pay a visit."

Luoning was a bit surprised, but he quickly understood.

"Jialete and Feilunsi are both imprisoned here; they must have come for this matter."

Lulansi nodded, "Then you go and receive them; it just so happens that I should go and attend to my own affairs."

Soon, the Yiben couple was welcomed into the hall.

"Luoning, what exactly is going on?" Yiben asked directly.

Xuelun also stared fixedly at Luoning. Her eyes were red, similar to Blanche's; clearly, she had cried a lot in the last two days.

When she set off, she knew Bruno was dead and was already heartbroken. When she arrived at Golden Feather City, she heard that her younger brother was the real murderer.

This huge blow caused Xuelun to faint on the spot.

"Luoning, I want to see Jialete now, may I?"

"Of course you may!"

Luoning had no reason to refuse a sister and brother meeting, "Although Jialete is imprisoned here, he is guarded by me, Buluoer, Waerjisi, and the guards of the kingdom's ministers together."

He paused here, "It's just that his current state... is not very good; you need to prepare yourself mentally."

"What happened to him?" Yiben asked.

Luoning shook his head, "Go and see for yourself."

The three of them walked toward the backyard together.

At this time, Jialete was already bound by special chains, and to prevent any accidents, he was imprisoned in a cage made of Black Jade.

Outside, besides Kaierluosi, there were guards from Waerjisi and the others.

Luoning made this arrangement mainly to prevent others from saying he abused prisoners and enemies.

Before the three arrived, they heard Jialete's crazy roaring from afar.

After walking closer and seeing the situation, Yiben felt horrified, while Xuelun bit her lip, clenched her fists, and her body could not help but tremble.

At this time, Jialete's hair was disheveled, his clothes were torn into rags, his face was covered in mud and saliva, his crotch was soaking wet, and he could not stop laughing crazily.

He had gone mad.

At this moment, Xuelun collapsed. She had thought countless times in her mind about how to question her brother, to scold him for why he was so cruel and so crazy.

After seeing this scene, she actually did not know where to begin.

Yiben looked at Luoning, the meaning being that he wanted the latter to explain.

"He is mad."

Luoning explained: "I had Aierlong treat him. Although Magic can make him calm down briefly, once the effect wears off, he falls back into a state of madness. I think... perhaps the failure this time was too big a blow for him."

In order to kill Luoning, Jialete did not hesitate to kill his own father and join the alien races.

But even so, in the end, it was still a failure.

He could not bear such a failure, and even less could he bear his own ruin and disgrace.

After one night of imprisonment, he completely lost his reason and fell into a state of madness.

Xuelun's body swayed, and in the end, she could not withstand the blow and collapsed into Yiben's arms.

Luoning hurriedly had a Servant take the two of them to a room to rest.

Blanche, who was recuperating in the manor, heard that her sister had arrived and came over to visit.

The two sisters had not met many times, and being able to gather together this time to share their sorrows could also alleviate the grief in each other's hearts.

"Luoning."

Yiben tilted his head, signaling for Luoning to follow him out.

"What is it?"

"I have something I want to discuss with you," Yiben said, walking out first.

Luoning glanced at the sisters in the room, then followed him out.

The two of them, one after the other, came to the long corridor of the courtyard and sat down facing each other.

"How do you plan to deal with Jialete?"

He asked, "In his current state and with the things he has done, can he still inherit the throne?"

Luoning was somewhat surprised; he had not expected Yiben to be the first outsider to discuss the matter of the throne with him.

He was unsure of the other man's stance, so he asked, "What do you think?"

Yiben looked at him deeply; he had originally wanted to see Luoning's attitude first, but he had not expected the other man to kick the ball back, as they were likely both thinking the same thing.

The throne, after all, still held some attraction.

"The Auduin Kingdom has been established for over two hundred years, and there has never been an incident of patricide to seize the throne, let alone the fact that he also consorted with alien races and betrayed humanity."

Yiben was silent for a moment, then took the initiative to say, "Such a person is not very suitable to lead the Auduin Kingdom forward." (End of this chapter)
