Chapter 362: Royal Succession Law

With a sunny smile on his face, Neil rode his horse forward, nodding slightly to the people around him from time to time, and another scream and excitement screamed, which was unusually cool.
It seems that the scenery is boundless, but Neil's heart is a little panicked. He couldn't help but tremble in a low voice at an old housekeeper with white hair under his horse: "Old Green, I let the family help build momentum, but the momentum can't Well, if someone plans to conduct a thorough investigation, I'll be over."
What he had originally wanted was to create momentum in a small area so that the title of a "Warrior of Hundred Wars" can be placed on him. Once there is an official aura, whoever wants to deal with himself inside or outside the family will have to think more about it.
But not like this!
The momentum is too big and too big. The really powerful ones at the top level can definitely know what is going on with a little inspection. What should they do if they see themselves as unpleasant and kill themselves?
The grandfather may be able to help himself, but the strength and power of the grandfather is not at the top level, and he may not be able to hold it.
The old butler of Greene seemed very calm: "Don’t worry, the little master, this matter is recognized by the military. They need to build a hero to dilute the shadow of the capture and killing of the heads and heirs of the major families. What happened."
Neil's heart felt a little calm, and he was relieved temporarily.
A few kilometers away from here, a golden tower with a height of one thousand meters stands tall, gleaming with dazzling light in the sun.
If the residents of Sacred Flame Capital looked up, it was as if a new sun appeared, and the two suns echoed in the sky.
This is exactly the Sun Tower built by His Majesty Gregory II for more than three hundred years and spent nearly half of the empire’s resources. It has a huge promotion effect on the cultivation of fire-type cultivators. It has always been that only the most direct descendants of the royal family can be in the limited time. Tempered their grudge inside.
At this moment, the two handsome young men on the top of the tower faintly watched the parade in the distance showing off the brave team. The distance of several kilometers could not cause any obstacle to them.
"It seems that Gresta was really captured, or died, otherwise your cousin will not be able to perform today."
A handsome young man on the left said that the graceful tone cannot conceal the gloat in his voice. His appearance is somewhat similar to Prince Gresta, as is the man next to him who is shorter than him.
The short red-haired young man frowned and said displeasedly: "Andrew, pay attention to your words. Cousin Neil was indeed killed from the dangerous devil's lair, and indeed brought back a thousand. There are so many undead captives of the devil, these are unquestionable facts.
For these, Lord Thorns and Spikes paid the price of serious injuries, and no slander was tolerated. "
"Haha, slander, sorry, Lyle."
The laughter on Andrew's face disappeared, and he said lightly: "It's my fault, I've heard the rumors."
The opponent's mother came from the Iron Thorns family, and his uncle was the powerful Thorns and Spikes. Andrew didn't want to offend the opponent for a little bit of temperament.
The displeasure on Lyle's face disappeared, indicating that he had received an apology from the other party.
These two are the sons of the current Emperor Gregory III, and they are the sixth and seventh heirs respectively.
The ranking is far lower than Prince Gresta, who has been able to lead soldiers to fight alone, and his strength is not as good. He has barely become a land knight now, and his chances of advancement are slim.
This is already very slow for the royal concubines who enjoy the best resources.
It is different from the marriage of two nobles with roughly equal strength.
Generally, the nobles adopt monogamy. The children born to the couples of legal nobles are the heirs. The oldest of the children is the natural and unshakable first heir. Even the nobles themselves cannot change this result.
If there are no boys, then the oldest girl is the first heir, and this result is recognized and protected by the empire and the entire aristocracy.
What if the mother-in-law did not give birth to a child, but the male nobleman and another woman who was not his de jure wife gave birth to a son?
Is an illegitimate child.
According to the imperial aristocracy law, this situation is extinct, and the family name and territory should be inherited by the person closest to the aristocratic family.
However, in the actual implementation process, people tend to be in-laws with big nobles, even their second sons.
What about the illegitimate son of the male nobleman?
They are slaves and ordinary people. In short, although he has half the blood of the male master, they have no chance to inherit the title and territory, nor can they enjoy any benefits of the territory.
However, this universal principle among the nobles has a problem in the Holy Flame Empire royal family. It does not have any royal family of the same level marrying him, and its strength is extremely strong. No one of the same level is qualified to give him the same strength. Constraints.
Therefore, the Royal Flame Sacred Lion family is not monogamous, and each emperor’s son theoretically has the same inheritance rights.
Prior to this, Prince Gresta was the first heir of the Holy Flame Empire. He had the qualifications to lead the conquest of a foreign country alone, leaving all other heirs far away. The second-order heirs did not even have the qualifications to see his back.
Now that Prince Gresta is captured in a foreign country, this situation has changed greatly, and the thoughts of the desperate princes in each heart suddenly become active.
You know, because the royal family's territory is inseparable, those who are not qualified to inherit the throne will not be able to get a territory just because they are the emperor's son.
If this were the case, the royal heritage would have collapsed for several generations.
These princes who cannot inherit the throne are actually the high-profile version of the illegitimate children of the nobles below. After the new emperor ascends the throne, they can only get a manor to support their lives, and they will be taken back after death. Their son is a complete commoner. .
That's how the ancestor of the minefield in the Iron Fortress came from, except for some connections and qualified to practice royal vindictiveness, it was no different from a commoner.
The actual status is not to mention the heir of the duke, even the heir of the baron may not be as good.
However, princesses tend to be much better, becoming the best spouses in the hearts of many dukes and viscounts heirs, and their status is almost equal to their husbands.
Compared with their poor brothers and brothers one by one, it is a world of difference.
In this case, the fight between the princes is often extremely cruel, regardless of life and death, crazy.
Every heir struggle will cause a lot of deaths and injuries, and the ultimate winner will not be merciful to the loser. The actual life of the remaining prince is often worse than imagined.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty asks you to really get to know the undead demons in the past."
When the two were silent for a moment, the door behind them opened gently, and a ground knight with a golden red flame holy lion badge on his chest said softly.
When the two princes looked at each other, they could see the ecstasy and deep anxiety between each other, and the distance between the two was instinctively separated a little bit.
After determining Gresta as the first heir many years ago, they were rarely qualified to go to His Majesty's palace.
Every day he can only live in his own palace like raising pigs, waiting for the new emperor to come to the throne with his mother to return to his dilapidated manor for retirement.
But it's different now.
