Chapter 85:

Women are really fickle.

Rhodes couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Queen Karina, whose attitude had completely changed.

He was as cold as a piece of ice just now, but now he is so hot that he seems to be able to melt people.

For a moment he couldn't tell which one was the real Queen Karina.

Sure enough, the saying is right.

If you want to conquer a man, you must conquer his stomach.

If you want to completely conquer a woman, you must conquer her

He now feels that this sentence makes a lot of sense.

Now that she has a new lover, she doesn't even care about her own son's life or death.

Perhaps, this is the emotional relationship between nobles. There is not much emotion at all, and it is just a blood connection at most.

Queen Karina wanted her son to become king, but she didn't want to lose her identity and power as queen.

Therefore, as long as she can be given sufficient protection, she doesn't care who is the king.

"I want you to give the throne to Jessebel."

Rhodes said casually while adjusting his cuffs.

"Jesse Bell?"

Karina's voice suddenly rose with a hint of disbelief. She didn't know where she got the strength from her limp body, but she propped herself up from the bed.

The thin quilt slipped off her body, revealing her flawless body.

However, Karina was in no mood to care about her body exposure. Instead, she looked at Rhodes blankly.

"Why should the throne be given to Jesse Bell? I won't agree!"

Rhodes glanced at her coldly, and her panicked Queen Karina calmed down instantly.

Now she can't do whatever she wants, the initiative is in this guy's hands.

Thinking of this, Queen Karina walked behind Rhodes with a meek look on her face, hugged his waist from behind, and rubbed her body restlessly.

The gentle tone was filled with confusion.

"Why should the throne be given to Jesse Bell? Can't Sally be given the throne?"

"I would rather give the throne to you than to Jessebel."

Rhodes saw through the queen's thoughts at a glance. She was simply worried that Jessebell would drive her out of the palace after inheriting the throne.

At the end of the day, this woman's thinking is simple: it makes no difference to her who is king.

All she needs is a promise that can guarantee her a decent life and dignity.

"Now, Jesse Bell has something in my hands just like you, so don't worry about what he will do to you."

"After Jesse Bell inherits the throne, you will still be the brightest pearl of the Austin Kingdom, and all the treatment you have had before will remain the same as before."

Rhodes calmed the flustered Karina with a few words, and saw that there was still doubt in her eyes.

Rhodes simply reached out and scattered a pile of gold coins on the ground.

These were the treasures he obtained from the Giant King's treasury, and he only took out a very small part of them.

But the mountains of gold coins and various exquisite jewels still made Queen Karina stand there in a daze.

Such a large amount of treasures and gold coins is equivalent to at least a dozen years, no, even decades, of fiscal revenue for the kingdom.

Even if the kingdom's treasury were opened, there wouldn't be many such hills to be found.

"These are your personal treasures. It all depends on your ideas on how you want to use them."

Rhodes looked at Queen Karina and spoke slowly.

This can be considered as a small gesture of sincerity to the insecure queen.

Anyway, he had so much treasure on him that he could not use it all.

Not to mention gold, silver and copper, the three treasure troves that continuously create wealth.

The treasures stored in the treasury of a giant king alone are enough to buy several countries.

After all, this is the treasure that the giants have collected over countless years.

Of course, if it is a dragon's lair, the wealth inside will be even greater.

After all, collecting treasure is just a casual thing for the giants, while the dragons' love for treasure is fanatical.

They are even willing to destroy a country in order to collect enough treasure.

That's why dragon slayers are so respected.

The warrior who slays the dragon is not only a symbol of strength and power, but also means endless wealth.

"Is it all for me?"

Karina's eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief. After all, even though she was the queen of the Austin Kingdom, she had never come into contact with so many gold coins.

Sometimes life can even be quite difficult.

"It's all yours."

After receiving a positive reply, Karina immediately revealed a satisfied smile.

Finally, he agreed and allowed Jessebel to inherit the throne and become the new king.

"The longer the night, the more trouble there is. Now that the decision has been made, let's quickly summon those ministers to announce the decision."

Hearing this, Karina glanced at Rhodes with a suspicious look in her eyes.

"Why do you seem so concerned about this matter?"

If Jesse Bell wasn't a man and Rhodes hadn't been so passionate just now, she would have even thought that these two guys had some special relationship.

After all, among nobles, it was not uncommon for men to have affairs with other men.

"Forget it, no matter what agreement you have with Jesse Bell, as long as it can maintain my current life, it's fine."

Queen Karina, wearing her clothes and holding her head high, looks like a proud peacock, exuding an amazing aura.

It seemed as if she had turned back into the beautiful queen who was high above everyone else.

The brightest pearl of the Austin Kingdom.

"Worry all ministers and nobles, I have something to announce."

At Queen Karina's command, all the ministers and nobles who had not yet left the castle were gathered together again.

Among them were two princes, Jessebel and Sally, who were eligible to inherit the throne.

"I have an announcement to make here."

Queen Karina looked around.

Baron TARDIS in the crowd couldn't help but sneer when he saw this.

Is this naive Queen trying to put pressure on him in this way so that he has to support the third prince?

ridiculous!

The more this happened, the more it proved that she was now at her wit's end.

How could he miss such a good opportunity to eat this beautiful queen?

Baron TARDIS made up his mind that no matter what Queen Karina said today, he would never show an attitude of supporting the third prince.

He wanted Karina to beg him.

The most dazzling pearl of the Austin Kingdom, the king's queen, a noble woman that many nobles and ministers dreamed of but could never get.

She stripped naked and climbed onto his bed, begging him to support the Third Prince in the most humble and lowly manner.

Not only that, he would not even let go of the queen's niece.

even…

There was a glimmer of greed in Baron TARDIS's eyes.

Prince Sali is so young that even if he inherits the kingdom he has no means of managing it.

He may be able to take over the entire kingdom in silence.

It's like killing three birds with one stone.

"After careful consideration, Prince Sally is too young to handle the affairs of the kingdom, so I decided to let the second prince Jesse Bell inherit the throne and become the new king!"

After Karina finished speaking, she looked at the disgusting eyes of Baron TARDIS and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Just this kind of guy?

Still want her?

It's just a dream.

"How is that possible!"

Baron TARDIS's eyes widened, his teeth gnashed, his face full of disbelief.

How did things develop to this point.

Queen Karina should be determined to win the throne, so why did she suddenly choose to give up?

What changes had taken place here was something he had no idea about.

Baron TARDIS looked puzzled. After all, he and Karina had just been separated not long ago.

Even if Karina changed her mind, it wouldn't be so quick and decisive.

Could it be that he pushed Karina too hard, causing her to give up the throne and fight him to the death?

Thinking of this, Baron TARDIS showed regret in his eyes. If he had known earlier, he would not be so anxious.

Now, not only did he leave a bad impression on the queen, but he also indirectly gave away the kingdom that was within his grasp.

"I disagree. I feel that Prince Sally is more suitable to inherit the throne."

Baron TARDIS felt that he could still make amends, and he didn't believe that Karina could really give up the throne so easily.

Left it to a stepson with whom he was not very close.

If Karina still has any ideas in her mind, she will definitely change her mind next.

But unexpectedly, Karina just glanced at him indifferently and looked at other nobles and ministers.

"Besides Lord TARDIS, is there anyone else who objects?"

Seeing this strange situation, a group of bewildered nobles and ministers dared not object.

Let's wait and see what happens. 

"Since no one else objects, the throne will be handed over to Jessebel. After the king is buried, the coronation ceremony will begin."

Seeing this, Karina immediately decided on the succession to the throne.

Feeling the strange looks from everyone around him, as well as the unfriendly gaze from the Second Prince Jesse Bell, Baron TARDIS broke out in a cold sweat.

He's really out of control.

This woman actually has no attachment to the throne at all.

Now, not only has he offended the new king, but he has also pushed the queen to the opposite side.

Looking at the nobles and ministers around him who were vaguely isolating him, Baron Tardis took a deep breath and forced a smile.

Made an excuse and left.

After leaving the palace, Baron TARDIS got in his carriage and headed straight back to his own territory.

Things have developed to this point, and staying in the palace will only make me uncomfortable.

It's better to go back to the territory, be a coward, and don't worry about anything that happens next.

No matter who inherits the throne, it has nothing to do with him.

"Damn it! How could he suddenly become so lustful and actually do that to the queen…"

Baron TARDIS became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, so he slapped himself.

He had lived in peace for so many years, acting like a local tyrant in his own territory, sleeping with any commoner he liked.

What's there to be dissatisfied about with such a comfortable life?

But he became lustful and tried to provoke the queen, and even wanted to plot against the entire Austin Kingdom.

Don't you think about whether you have that ability?

As the carriage moved forward, Baron TARDIS suddenly felt something was not right. Was it too quiet around him?

He lifted the carriage curtain and looked out the window.

In the quiet wilderness, the sky was just getting dim, and there were flat fields all around, as if there was nothing special about it.

Is he just overthinking?

Just as this thought flashed through my mind.

boom!

There was a sudden roar from the roof of the carriage, as if something very heavy had fallen on the roof of the carriage.

Baron TARDIS's heart skipped a beat.

In an instant, an indescribable terrifying pressure enveloped the surroundings, giving him goose bumps all over his body.

It felt like being stared at by something extremely scary.

Sizzle!

There was a harsh friction sound above my head, followed by a pair of sharp claws tearing the roof of the carriage.

puff!

A figure fell into the carriage, and when Baron TARDIS came to his senses, he found that the figure seemed a little familiar.

Looking closely, isn't this the knight in the palace?

What's his name, Rod?

Seeing that it was just a small knight, Baron TARDIS suddenly became nervous.

"A mere knight dared to destroy my carriage. Do you know what the punishment for offending a baron is?"

Looking at the long-winded Baron TARDIS who had no idea what was going on, Rhodes couldn't help but sigh.

This guy really doesn't understand what it means to judge the situation.

"How did someone like you become a noble? Is it just because of that damn noble bloodline?"

Rhodes muttered quietly.

Hearing this, Baron TARDIS suddenly became angry. What did this guy mean?

"you!"

puff!

Rhodes was too lazy to say anything to this loser and just punched the ugly and fat head to pieces.

He looks like a deformed child of a goblin and a dwarf, and he dares to set his sights on the queen?

How dare you?

The toad drives a jeep and looks like an ugly flower.

There was no other reason why he killed this guy, it was just because he looked too disgusting.

When he thought that this guy was still alive, he felt that his Taoism was not clear enough.

Therefore, for the sake of his mental health, we can only let this guy die unjustly.

After dealing with this guy, Rhodes returned to the palace.

As soon as I arrived at the hall, I heard a group of ministers and nobles discussing Jessebel's marriage.

"Your Highness Jesse Bell is now old enough to get married. Since he is going to inherit the throne, he needs to find a suitable queen as soon as possible."

"We can send out ball invitations to the surrounding nobles and kingdoms in the name of the Austin Kingdom, and invite all unmarried noble ladies of marriageable age to attend the ball, and then select a suitable noble to become the queen."

Several ministers discussed the solution to Jessebel's marriage problem.

Jesse Bell just felt a headache after hearing this.

But I couldn't refuse.

When I was a prince, I could still find a way to postpone it, but now…

She has become the quasi-king who is about to inherit the throne. If she doesn't even have a queen, she will be laughed at by the surrounding nobles and kingdoms if she makes it known.

So, no matter what, this standard mate selection process still has to go through once.

All nobles chose their spouses by selecting the partner they liked from these large balls.

She is no exception.

However, her current identity is the future king who is about to inherit the throne, so the range of spouses she can choose from is much wider.

If nothing unexpected happens, all the nobles in the nearby kingdoms who have unmarried girls of marriageable age will be present.

If you are lucky, there may even be a marquis's heir arriving.

Of course, the probability of this happening is not high.

After all, when nobles at the marquis level marry, they will certainly give priority to lords of equal status and title.

Unless there are no more suitable nobles around, they will turn their attention to nobles of a lower level.

Otherwise, marriages between nobles were usually between nobles of equal or higher status.

There were only a very few noble ladies who condescended to marry him.

Unless this noble family has no male heir or direct blood relative to inherit the family.

They would choose lower-ranking nobles to marry into their families and take charge of the territory.

"Tsk!"

What is this?

Rhodes looked at the ministers who were hurriedly preparing, with a strange expression on his face.

After all, even if you marry a woman, you don't have the ability to do so.

Rhodes shook his head and returned to his room.

Just as I was about to go back through the space-time gate to rest, I heard Jessebell's voice outside the door.

"What are you doing here?"

Rhodes looked at the anxious Jesse Bell and was a little confused.

"I need you to help me have sex with my queen when we are newly married."

Jesse Bell said quickly.

"Wait, let me sort this out."

Rhodes' face was full of black question marks, but he understood after thinking about it for a while.

"You mean, on your wedding day, you want me to take your place?"

"That's right. You are the only one who knows my identity. If I don't want to be exposed, I can only let you have sex with the queen on my behalf."

Jesse Bell looked serious.

After all, she is a woman, what if she does nothing when she is newly married.

If word gets out that the king is incompetent, the reputation of the entire royal family will be affected.
