"Can Arthur really become Aquaman?"

After a while, Atlanna led Vico out of the Crystal Palace, turned to look at the young man lying on the table in the palace reading a book, and murmured.

Vico said: "If there is anyone in this world who can become the King of the Sea, then this person can only be Arthur."

"I don't understand where your confidence in him comes from." Atlanna said seriously: "He is just a child."

"Queen, your understanding of him is far less than my understanding of him. At least you don't know now that this child has the ability to kill me." Vico said.

Atlanna: "..."

She wanted to say how it was possible, but Vico had never lied in front of her.

"Your recent political actions have not gone well, haven't they?" Vico said instead.

Atlanna nodded: "Most local officials are only loyal to the ruling party. They listen to whoever is in power, instead of staying close to me and hugging each other for warmth."

"It's better to be still than to move."

Vico said: "Loyalty to the winner is the best way to protect yourself. Unless you promise huge profits, no one will bet at this time. Why doesn't the king stop you from doing this? It's because he knows this very well.

result."

Atlanna hesitated and said, "Don't you have any better ideas?"

Vico shook his head: "If you don't break it, you won't build it."

Atlanna let out a long breath: "In that case, don't leave. Come with me to ring the bell in the political hall."

Vico silently clenched his fists: "Okay."

"When, when, when..."

When the bells rang out in the splendid political hall, the first person to be alarmed was King Ovax.

At the same time, a guard quickly came to the Golden Palace and reported: "Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen took Vico and rang the bronze bell in the political hall."

A feeling of irritation suddenly rose in Ovax's heart, and he murmured: "What is this woman going to do?"

The guard knelt down on one knee and buried his head deeply, as motionless as a sculpture, for fear that he would make some noise and arouse the king's anger.

He has long heard that since the Queen brought His Highness back to the Kingdom, the King has become moody...

The bells of the council hall spread rapidly throughout the city-state, and the ministers living in the city-state walked out of their homes and offices and used various means of transportation to go to the palace.

Just an hour later, hundreds of officials gathered in the council hall. Under the Queen's gaze, no one dared to whisper to each other, and even made little eye contact, silently standing at their rightful place.

The king was the first to hear the bell, but the last to enter. As soon as he crossed the threshold, his eyes fell on the queen's face and he said in a solemn voice: "Why are you ringing the bell?"

Atlanna said in a deep voice: "I have something to announce."

Ovacs: "Now that everyone is almost here, you can speak."

"I plan to implement an official recommendation system in the country." Atlanna said bluntly without arguing with him too much: "After the recommendation system is passed, officials can recruit their own subordinates and only need to report it to the Civil Service Commission.

"

These words were like a nuclear bomb-level torpedo. In an instant, the brains of all the high-ranking officials and King Ovacs went blank, and their mouths opened wide unconsciously.

Don't blame them for being so rude, the news is really shocking.

I have never seen a queen who betrayed her authority, until now...

"Are you crazy?"

Orvax was the first to come to his senses and yelled at Atlanna with an angry face.

All kindness and power come from above and are the cornerstone for rulers to rule their subjects.

If this recommendation system is successfully implemented and the official appointment does not come from the national system but from the high-ranking official himself, who will respect the royal power?

Atlanna said calmly: "I just think that many talents who are not proficient in exams should not be buried in the gravel."

"I don't allow it," Ovacs said seriously.

Atlanna said: "Perhaps you should ask my subordinates for their opinions."

Ovax turned to look at the officials, and immediately found that both the king's and the queen's officials were all looking at him with burning eyes. At this moment, they seemed to have become a whole.

‘Oops!’ Ovacs’ hair stood on end instantly, and waves of fear surged in his heart.

It is true that the officials of the king's family are loyal to him, but everyone's first loyalty is always to himself.

The queen's betrayal of the royal power was undoubtedly a cut of flesh for them; and her unwillingness to sell the royal power invisibly became a roadblock for them.

The king has become a stumbling block for the king's officials. This is ironic no matter how you look at it.

"Queen, do you want to divide the country?"

Ovax had no choice but to turn a blind eye to the gazes of these ministers and focus on Atlanna.

During the years when Atlanna left the kingdom, was it because he couldn't find her?

No, he didn't look for it at all in those years. At that time, he was busy consolidating his power.

It would be best to wait until he controls the power of the entire kingdom before the other party comes back. That would be in line with his wishes.

But he didn't expect that Atlanna would be brought back early by Vico, so the former king's old men who were originally shaken spontaneously gathered around him, becoming a serious problem for him.

Now, he is the king and the ruler of the kingdom. If he loses the right to appoint officials, what else can he do to rule?

Atlanna is trying to force herself to her level. To do this, she will even go so far as to cause turmoil in the country.

So heartbroken!

"I have never thought about splitting the country. The king should not charge me with such a crime."

The Queen shook her head and said: "I think a policy, whether it is good or bad, should be discussed and discussed. A person may be paranoid and walk into a dead end. It is impossible for everyone to be so paranoid that they have to break through the wall to figure it out. Everyone

,Is there anyone who opposes the recommendation system?”

The crowd was silent.

In the past, the officials of the king's family who opposed the queen have become silent now.

If the power of the king is compromised and the power of ministers is strengthened, no official, except for true saints, will come forward to oppose their own class.

It is a pity that there are no saints in this meeting hall.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I object." Ovacs glanced at the ministers and said sternly: "Whoever agrees, stand up."

Seeing him choosing people to devour, no one among the officials dared to say a word, not even the officials from the Queen's family dared to mess with him at this time.

After all, Ovacs is the ruling king and controls the army, not a paper tiger who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

It's just that... this resolution was suppressed by him with the authority of the king, but the bad impact it caused was beyond his control.

After the meeting, when the news about the recommendation system spread to the entire city-state through hundreds of officials, countless nobles, officers, and ministers were filled with excitement.

Ovacs tried to comfort him, but found that comforting had little effect.

No matter how much he conceded, he could not concede as much as Atlanna. The king's family with him as the core gradually lost its cohesion. Some close associates even suggested that he agree to the queen's request.

promise?

If he agrees to this ridiculous request, he will eventually die with the kingdom!

Ovacs suffered psychological breakdowns time and time again in the desperation. Each time he collapsed, his hatred for the bastard increased.

He knew very well that no matter who came up with this evil plan, there must be some reason for that bastard.

Otherwise, why hasn't Atlanna made this claim before?

He thought that what he was going to face was how to kill the other party; he never thought that this bastard's counterattack would be so vicious and fierce that he could hardly withstand it...

Half a month later.

Under his iron-fisted suppression, the talk of the recommendation system gradually disappeared.

It’s not that no one said it, it’s that no one dared to say it.

For more than ten days, many officials who were jumping up and down have been dealt with. This is the attitude of the king.

After calming down the turmoil, Ovacs turned his attention to the Crystal Palace.

So in the next two days, news about the Golden Trident began to appear in the kingdom, and the news was even detailed to the general location.

So in the early morning of the third day, Ovacs rang the bronze bell of the council hall and summoned all the officials.

This time, the king stood on the steps symbolizing royal power, and the queen stood opposite him, attacking and defending the throne.

"Have you all heard about the sacred object?" When all the officials arrived, Ovax asked in a deep voice.

"I heard they are from the Haigou tribe?" an official asked.

Ovax nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, it is said to be in the Guizhayan Mountain of the Haigou Clan."

"It's just a rumor. It cannot be confirmed and cannot be believed." Atlanna said in a deep voice.

Ovax suddenly looked into her eyes: "It's groundless, what if it's true? What if someone went to Guizhenyan Mountain and brought out the Golden Trident?"

Atlanna sneered and said: "If that's true, it's a good thing. I heard that the place where the first king left the golden trident is guarded by the deep sea monster Karason. The opponent can defeat Karason and get the trident.

We just need to take the trident back from him."
