THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 174: I DON'T NEED ANY GIFTS!
King Azeroth V again said to Myro and the others "As long as the gifts you need are not too excessive, I can give them. However you play a big role in the war, I must give you the right credit for your hard work. Is it a treasure? I can give you millions of gold coins. Are you interested in power? Raising your posts is just a small matter to me, say! What gift do you need from me?".
Everyone in the room was shocked, after all getting a gift from the king should be in accordance with what the king thought.
Even if the king only gave 1 bronze coin, they would still have to thank him.
But this time the king let Myro and the others choose their own gifts, it caused some officials to be envious, suspicious and try to figure out what King Azeroth V was thinking.
Some smart officials already know the possible answer is not to choose any gift, just say they do not need a gift.
After all, by saying this, the king must appreciate them more. After all, a follower who was too picky on gifts would definitely not be so good in the eyes of his master than a follower who received full gratitude towards any gifts the king gave.
Soon, the savvy official knew that this was a trap from the king. As long as someone among Myro and the others chose their own gifts, the king might get angry and then reduce their rewards.
Herfu and her grandson were not fools at all, they were certainly also looking through the king's plan so they knelt down again without hesitation "Your Majesty, I don't need any gifts".
Hearing the border general's reply with his grandson, King Azeroth V nodded. It seems that these 2 people are still very smart and loyal, if they are too greedy for gifts then King Azeroth V must make them regret the consequences of such foolishness.
When he was just a little happy, King Azeroth V found only Myro who had not given any answer, the figure of Myro still standing still in place of "Baron Myro, what about you? Don't hesitate, you can choose any gift you need".
Myro who was quietly staring at the ministers came back to his senses, just now he was very surprised to find Lapter who was among the ranks of the ministers.
It only took some time, Lapter was now in the ranks of 10 ministers who played a major role in the Kingdom of Azeroth.
Myro had no idea as to what was happening, but as long as Lapter was in the ministerial position, the future of Myro obtaining the Azeroth Kingdom was bound to get easier.
He who had just regained consciousness immediately withdrew his eyes from Lapter as quickly as possible, do not let others know that Myro knew Lapter who would most likely attract the suspicions of King Azeroth V or other officials.
After gazing slightly towards King Azeroth V, Myro immediately knelt down without hesitation following Herfu and Loir "Your Majesty, I actually have a gift that I need. The problem is that the gift I need might make you angry, so I don't think I need to tell you about the gift I need".
Everyone immediately saw Myro full of weirdness, especially Herfu and Loir.
For some time, they knew Myro was a smart man, there was no way he didn't know the correct answer to the king's question. Therefore, they wondered if Myro had any other purpose or if they misjudged Myro.
Myro was a little speechless, if he said he would take the life of King Azeroth V, it was not strange that the king was not angry. After all having said to take the king's life, Myro must have been sentenced to death so King Azeroth V wouldn't have to bother getting angry again at him.
Breathing in, Myro said as per Katia's plan that he knew yesterday "Your highness, I hope that your highness can choose the 10th prince as the next successor to the throne, let the 10th prince become King Azeroth VI".
"What?", everyone in the room who had been silent could not suppress their shock anymore.
At first they had already thought about how crazy the reward Myro needed to the king was, not even too strange if the reward Myro needed was to become a Grand Duke.
But no matter how they thought, they could never find out what the gift Myro needed was to raise the 10th prince as crown prince. It was a crazy move, even the prime minister of Terkop and General Hanto did not dare to tell the king to choose a certain prince as crown prince.
A man who was a supporter of the 2nd prince and sat in a quite important position on the political officials of the Azeroth Kingdom shouted as he pointed at Myro angrily "Not polite, how dare a lowly noble like you come to the royal family's troubles! People like you should be put to death".
As a supporter of the 2nd prince, he disagreed against Myro supporting the 10th prince to ascend the throne.
But when everyone thought what the official had said was true and the king must have been angry with Myro for even putting him to death, they were surprised to hear the next king say "You think who you are? Are you the king or am I the king? I haven't determined whether Myro's words were polite or not, but on the other hand you even gave him the death sentence without my decision! I'm asking, you or I are the king here".
They were more and more shocked to hear the king's anger, at first they thought the king would punish Myro, but who would have thought the political officials who shouted just now were punished.
The official immediately knelt in panic "Your Majesty, I dare not! You are the king, I just got too angry because there are little nobles who dare to come to your family matters, I hope your majesty will forgive my mistakes just now".
"Enough!", cried King Azeroth V "You are condemned to be released from your office now, from today you are no longer a royal official, but just a normal resident".
The other officials were again confused, they did not understand the purpose of the king's decision, according to them the king's punishment just now was very cruel.
Some other officials tried to look at Prime Minister Tercop and General Hanto, but they generally advised the king if the punishment he imposed was too excessive.
But the officials found the prime minister and General Hanto were silent, the intelligent people immediately understood that the king did not object to Myro's idea so he was not angry at the words of Myrou just now. The prime minister and General Hanto were in a high position of the Azeroth Kingdom, most likely they were also aware of this matter which left them only silent.
A question arose in the minds of all the officials in the room "Has King Azeroth V long ago determined the 10th prince as the successor to the position of the next king of Azeroth Kingdom?".
