The monarchs believe that if the status quo continues.
Lorelei is likely to be chosen as the king of Britain. Currently, various estimates suggest that she is the most likely candidate.
Even Trambelio, who stands in opposition to aristocracy, has to admit this unwillingness.
This girl seems to have been born to become a king.
The Barthomeloi family, during the initial establishment of the Clock Tower, no, during the time when the first king was still alive.
They have always moved forward with the goal of inheriting the throne.
Now, with a foundation of over a thousand years, it would not be strange for Barthomeloi to be chosen by Britain.
Overall, this would be a heavy blow to the democratic faction, while it would be a joyous event for the magical world.
The magi of the Clock Tower becoming the king of Britain.
The Idea Blood signed by the twelve monarch families with Britain would, to some extent, lose most of its effectiveness.
The Idea Blood would make the Clock Tower subordinate to the king of Britain, and the Clock Tower has no right to refuse.
If Lorelei, the Queen of the Clock Tower, ascends to the throne of Britain, the Clock Tower will not be in this passive position.
Because Barthomeloi is the ruler of the Clock Tower.
They are the leaders who govern the magi.
This is a good thing for all magi of the Clock Tower.
Lorelei becoming king would allow them to concentrate their strength to counter the Church, changing the previous stalemate.
With the entire divine era supporting the Clock Tower.
They will surely gain a significant advantage in the confrontation with the Church.
Compared to having an outsider chosen as the king of Britain, the Clock Tower prefers one of their own to be selected as king.
This maximizes the benefits for the magi.
That said, the democratic faction has not completely given up.
They believe they cannot surpass Barthomeloi, but they still harbor a wish to become king in their hearts.
There have been instances in the past where an ordinary commoner was chosen as the new king of Britain, surprising a group of magi.
In the end, this new king's achievements could not compare to those of the previous king, but he also did not make any significant mistakes.
Britain has never missed an opportunity.
What it prioritizes is only the eternal continuation of the divine era.
Now, not only the Clock Tower but all the citizens of Britain are waiting for the new king's ascension.
As long as they do not hear about the new king's enthronement.
Then the hearts of the Britons will be uneasy.
The anxiety makes the monarchs present wish they could jump five days ahead to witness who will be chosen.
The chosen one will gain the great power of the divine era.
"Recently, everywhere is restless. That princess from the Millennium Castle has also made an appearance. I remember, Lord El-Melloi, you are preparing to participate in the Holy Grail War far away in the Snowfield City, right?
Now, we in Britain have also welcomed the day of king selection. It feels like the world is getting more and more lively—hahaha!"
McDonell displayed a cheerful smile.
As if forgetting Barthomeloi's domineering remarks just moments ago.
"The true ancestor princess of Millennium Castle, does she want to compete with me for prey? Those ancestors are merely the filth I will eventually clean up; only the principles of Britain exist in this world."
A look of disgust appeared in Lorelei's eyes.
Long ago, magi concluded that the reason the divine era of Britain could continue was due to the grand magical foundation formed by the first king using the principle Idea Blood and divine mystery.
Its domain even involves magic.
The Barthomeloi family has historically despised the Dead Apostles.
There was once a discussion among magi and Dead Apostles about whether the king of Britain should also be listed among the twenty-seven ancestors.
After all, the king of Britain would inevitably control the principle Idea Blood.
In the end, this topic was completely extinguished.
Barthomeloi does not allow anyone to compare this great achievement of continuing the divine era with those filthy and lowly vampires.
In Lorelei's view, it should be the first king who conquered and controlled the principle Idea Blood. Extracting all the value from those vampire pests to ensure the survival of the divine era in Britain.
"Oh dear, Lord Barthomeloi, you still despise vampires as always. However, once you ascend to the throne, you will be able to take action against the Church and the vampires."
"No need for you to say, Lord El-Melloi. Once I ascend to the throne, I will naturally lead the divine era down the right path. Whether it is the Church or those vampires, they are all our enemies."
Barthomeloi is already impatient.
Although the principle Idea Blood of Britain has operated for over a thousand years, it does not mean it can merge with the other ancestors.
The principles of the other ancestors will only affect present-day Britain.
This is an unusual factor they do not need.
The Church, as an organization that has always regarded the mysterious as heretical, is naturally an enemy that needs no further discussion.
After that, the meeting continued for a while.
From the time caused by the true ancestors and Dead Apostles on the ground, the monarchs discussed the redevelopment of the Albion Spirit Cave.
Then, the meeting concluded—
"Day of king selection, huh…"
Kayneth murmured as he walked down the corridor.
Lorelei's imposing demeanor left a deep impression.
The elite style of the Barthomeloi family is too strong; they almost disdain everyone outside their family.
If it weren't for Kayneth's family being Archibald.
Having interacted with Barthomeloi for many years.
Otherwise, Lorelei wouldn't even look at Kayneth; she is truly a proud and strong queen.
Kayneth considers himself exceptionally talented.
He also has a fair amount of pride in himself.
However, compared to an all-rounded queen like Lorelei, the distance between them is not a small one.
"Well, the throne of Britain is not what I need. If Barthomeloi ascends to the throne, it would be a good thing for us aristocratic factions; that is enough."
Kayneth chuckled lightly and stopped thinking further.
They are the ones closest to the throne of Britain.
Although he believes he does not have the ability to compete with Lorelei for the throne, who among them does not secretly harbor thoughts of ascending to the throne?
Soon, five days will not be too long.
The magi and the people of Britain are almost eagerly awaiting this day, waiting for the Clock Tower to announce the name of the king.
A new era lasting a hundred years is about to begin.
Will it be a citizen of Britain chosen to become the king? Or will it be a magus from the Clock Tower chosen as king? Or perhaps, a fairy or a beast will be chosen as king?
Who will lead them?
To whom will they pledge their loyalty?
All of this will be revealed today.
