Chapter 1022: Appointing a New King (Part 2)

The sudden sound of this voice instantly attracted everyone in the conference room.

Whether it was the "war faction" headed by Bankro or the "retreat faction" headed by Aphra, they all looked towards the owner of this voice.

They were very familiar with the owner of this voice.

Because the owner of this voice was also an important official in the central government.

He was the financial steward of the Britannia Empire - Alfred.

The financial steward - the financial steward of the entire empire, Alfred, who was also in a high position, also had a very important weight in the conference room.

"Mr. Alfred." Bankro asked, "What did you mean by what you said just now? Is there anything more important than discussing whether to stick to Pendragon?"

"Of course." Alfred answered without hesitation.

"Then-" Bankro said, "I am willing to listen attentively."

"In that case, I will speak frankly."

After clearing his throat, Alfred turned to the ministers in front of and behind him and said loudly:

"I believe-some of you have also discovered a very serious problem, right?"

"That is-we are now a pile of loose sand."

"Your Majesty's life and death are uncertain, and we now lack a leader to lead us."

"Without the leadership of a leader, we are a pile of loose sand."

"As a pile of loose sand, how can we fight against the current crisis of national destruction!"

"Therefore, I propose-establish a new king!"

"Let His Highness Gale become the 14th emperor of our Britannia Empire!"

Alfred's words seemed to have some magic.

As soon as his voice fell, there was an uproar in the conference hall.

Even Bankro widened his eyes in surprise.

After being stunned for a long time, Bankro, whose face turned red due to shock and anger, roared at Alfred:

"Alfred! What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Nonsense?" Alfred turned his head and looked directly at Bankro, "Bankro, may I ask what was wrong with what I just said?"

"Do you know what you just said?" Bankro said in a deep voice, "You want to establish a new king?!"

"That's right."

Alfred nodded heavily and continued.

"Your Majesty is currently in a state of uncertainty about his life or death, and his whereabouts are unknown. We have no idea where your Majesty is now!"

"At such a critical moment, how can we do without the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor?"

"His Highness Gale has always been mature and stable. Whether it is his bloodline or his personal ability, he is absolutely qualified and capable of sitting on the throne!"

"Let His Highness Gale ascend the throne as the new emperor. Under his wise leadership, our Britannia Empire will surely survive this crisis!"

"Ridiculous!" Bankro shouted at Alfred, "Can a new king be established whenever you want?!"

"Just because your Majesty is in a state of uncertainty about his life or death, you want to establish a new king?"

"Then I ask you: What if your Majesty suddenly comes back after we have established a new king?"

"Have you ever thought about this issue?"

Bankro's words made Alfred silent.

Because the problem pointed out by Bankro's words just now cannot be ignored.

Although there were all kinds of rumors outside, some said that Ilsa was dead, some said that Ilsa had been captured by the Frankish army, and some said that Ilsa was still alive...

There were all kinds of rumors.

If Ilsa was really still alive, and they took advantage of Ilsa's absence to establish a new king, then the problem would be very serious.

Just as Alfred was silent, thinking about how to answer what Bankro had just said, a voice suddenly interrupted.

It was Aphra.

"Your Majesty is now unknown whether he is dead or alive. In this situation where you don't know whether your Majesty is alive or dead, if you change the king, the impact and consequences will be really bad."

"So-I propose that His Royal Highness Gale be appointed as the regent!"

"As long as His Royal Highness Gale becomes our regent, all problems will be solved!"

"In this way, there is no need to worry about the situation of two emperors, nor do we have to worry about the lack of a leader who can lead us through this crisis."

As soon as Aphra finished speaking, there was a piece of echoing voice.

After a moment of silence, Alfred nodded:

"...What Mr. Bankro and Miss Aphra said just now makes sense. Without knowing whether His Majesty is alive or dead, it is indeed too impulsive and reckless to support His Majesty Gale as the new emperor. I admit my mistake just now."

"I agree to support His Majesty Gale as our regent!"

After Alfred agreed, everyone turned their eyes to Bankro.

Everyone was waiting for Bankro to express his opinion.

Under the gaze of everyone, Bankro pondered.

Thinking about the pros and cons of supporting His Majesty Gale as the regent.

After a long while, Bankro finally nodded gently:

"I second the motion."

...

...

In Gale's room in Baiyang Palace.

Bankro, Alfred, and Aphra knelt on one knee in Gale's room.

They are asking Gale to come out and serve as regent of the Britannia Empire to lead them through this crisis of national destruction.

There are so many ministers in the central government, of course it is impossible for all of them to rush to Gale's room to ask Gale to come out.

Moreover, some lower-ranking officials are not qualified to enter and leave the royal family's living area.

Therefore, they elected Bankro, Alfred, and Aphra as representatives to go to Gale's residence to ask Gale to come out.

"Your Highness Gale." Alfred said respectfully to Gale, "You should also know how bad the current situation in our country is."

"Your Majesty is currently in danger of death. We need a wise leader to lead us through this crisis!"

"Your Highness Gale, please take office as the regent of our country!"

Gale stood in front of the three people.

He looked at Bankro and the other two with a serious face.

Gale naturally knew how bad the current situation in the empire was.

Faced with the current tragic situation in the empire, Gale was more anxious than anyone else.

Because he was a direct descendant of the British Empire and Ilsa's father.

Ilsa's life or death is uncertain - as her father, Gale is naturally more anxious and painful than anyone else.

A while ago, his father passed away, and now, his daughter is not sure whether she is dead or alive.

A series of bad news about family and state affairs has made Gale exhausted.

The increasing number of white hairs on Gale's head is the best proof.

"Regent..." Gale pursed his lips.

Silent and hesitant.

And the three people of Bankro naturally saw Gale's hesitation.

"Your Highness Gale!"

This time it was Afra who spoke.

"Please don't hesitate! Time is very tight now! If you delay for a second, Allen's rebels will be one point closer to Pendragon!"

"Please take office as the regent of our country as soon as possible and lead us through this crisis!"

"Your Highness Gale." This time it was Bankro, "Please make up your mind as soon as possible. The empire needs you now!"
