Chapter 341 - Chapter 341: Chapter 323 The Death of the Cyart King (2/2)
Byrne deeply furrowed his brow.
“How could this be?”
“The Cyart King just died like that?”
He looked towards his family members and calmly said,
“I still remember when Duke Black Iron passed away, the Cyart King was at the funeral and invited the Romann family to the Cyart Royal Capital, then faced rejection from Aldrich, after which the Cyart King stormed off in a raging fury.”
Darren nodded and said, “Aldrich always said to be wary of the Cyart King. I thought the Cyart King would do something once he returned to the Royal Capital, but I didn’t expect him to pass away so suddenly.”
Vanessa said, “It’s possible he really wanted to do something but simply didn’t have the chance.”
Byrne looked at his son and indifferently said, “Darren, who do you think will be the new King after the Cyart King’s death?”
After pondering for a moment, Darren replied to his father, “Father, currently in the Cyart’s Adley Royal Family, apart from the court mage known as Silver Poet, who is an outsider, there are two Monarch powerful experts who belong to the Adley Royal Family.”
“The first is the low-level Monarch, ‘Boulder Sledge Hammer’ Prince Baine, who is a distant relative of the deceased Cyart King and possesses terrifying power and defensive strength, especially notable in terms of sheer force.”
He paused, then continued,
“However, Boulder Sledge Hammer is already over two hundred years old, and it’s unlikely he’ll have the opportunity to break through to a Middle Rank Monarch, so he seems to have less chance of inheriting the throne compared to the other candidate.”
“The second person is ‘Sword of Salvation’ Noah, one of the grandsons of the Cyart King. He is also a low-level Monarch Extraordinary Exponent, inheriting the same Blood of Salvation and power of Bloodline as divine blood through the Cyart King.”
“Sword of Salvation…”
Upon hearing this name, Byrne fell into thought.
He was a powerful expert infatuated with the pursuit of personal power, not often participating in noble gatherings and generally not engaging in social activities. The Fischer family didn’t have a deep impression of this man, only knowing that “Sword of Salvation” Noah was very strong, wielding the blade “Death’s Breath,” a three-digit Forbidden rare artifact.
He could even be the strongest among all the low-level Monarch Extraordinary Exponents in the Cyart Kingdom.
Suddenly, Vanessa said, “It should be Noah.”
Byrne nodded, saying, “I also think it will be Noah.”
Just at that moment, Darren suddenly proposed a strange idea.
“Do you think the Cyart King is really dead?”
Everyone looked at him as he nodded and said,
“It must be true, because there is a joint announcement from the Salvation Church, and the person who issued the announcement is none other than the Cardinal ‘Silver Hermit,’ a high-level Monarch and the invisible guardian deity of Cyart.”
Everyone suddenly realized.
The credibility of the “Silver Hermit,” as a Cardinal of the Salvation Church, was very high, and it was almost impossible for her to lie about such a significant event.
Byrne nodded, as the Lord of Salvation is the most common belief in Cyart, and everyone had faith in the Cardinal who is one of the “Silver Hermits.”
He paused, then spoke in a grave tone, “The public proclamation and invitation from the Adley Royal Family this time symbolizes that we’re officially accepted as a member of the great families! I think this is extremely important!”
“It seems a visit is in order. We must attend the King’s funeral and the selection of the new successor.”
Just then, Christine, in her wheelchair, and Andre entered.
“That’s right, all members of the great families will arrive, and we can’t be absent,” she said.
Vanessa asked with a bit of confusion, “Will the Romann family attend?”
Byrne shook his head and answered, “Aldrich is very suspicious by nature, so he might not want to go, but in the end, he and Ariel will still attend, because with such a major event, the Romann family, as an important member of the great families, must be present, unless they wish to completely sever ties with the Cyart nobility.”
“After this event concludes, I will assist Amos of the ‘Blazing Fire’ from the Romann family in ascending as a Monarch.”
A few days later, members of the Fischer family, including Byrne, Chris, and Darren, once again set sail, and after some time, they once again arrived at the Royal Capital in the southernmost Elphinia Province.
The port was clear and sunny, with the Fischer family’s steamship slowly approaching the shore.
For some reason, Chris frowned on the deck, feeling a very uneasy presence.
