“Your Majesty!”
Duke Ariel stepped forward and implored Bathory's mercy.
He was a figure of significant influence among the nobles of the Erzsebet Kingdom and served as the representative of those nobles who advocated for the enthronement of a new king.
In fact, Duke Ariel planned to enthrone one of the collateral relatives of the royal family and use them as a puppet to seize control of the government.
Since Bathory was still unmarried and had no heirs, it was perfectly suitable to casually enthrone one of the collateral relatives of the royal family.
At that moment, Duke Ariel knew of a young woodcutter who was first in line in the royal family's collateral bloodline for the throne, and he had already marked him as his chosen king.
