Chapter 812 It’s time

After all, it wasn\'t just the wedding alone that was the focus this time.

There was something else that was going along with this that was more important than the wedding.

Though that was a bit rude to the bride and groom who were me and Angela, it was a fact that this was more important than our wedding.

It was that the king was going to step down from the throne and hand his crown to his successor.

One might think that it would be the fourth prince who would receive this crown since he was the only prince that was left, but it wasn\'t him. It wasn\'t even the princess who could have served as the queen as the king\'s eldest daughter.

It was me.

I was the one that was about to become the new king for some strange reason.

The one that had been proposed to by the princess and now chosen as the new king.

I didn\'t understand why they were doing this, but at this point, I had already given up and accepted that this was just how it would be.

At this point, I accepted that I would become the new king of this kingdom.

Though that was mainly because this was the place where the people that I loved were.

Still, that didn\'t stop me from asking, "Are you sure about this? It\'s not too late to take the crown if you want to."

There was a bitter smile that appeared on my lips when I said this.

The fourth prince just looked at me with a smile before saying, "I prefer not having to do all that work?"

The bitter smile on my face became more bitter when I heard this before saying, "Aren\'t you going to be doing that work anyway? You\'re the one that volunteered or are you telling me that you\'re going to abandon me now?"

The fourth prince just shook his head before saying, "Of course not, but it\'s a completely different concept holding the title and the power that comes to it than just having the power that comes with it. There are many annoying things that you have to deal with if you have both."

He looked at me with a knowing smile.

The bitterness on my face grew when I heard this.

Basically, he was saying that he was using me as a scapegoat to deal with the annoying people while he held all the power.

That was definitely a villainous thing to say and a thing that fitted the fourth prince, but I knew that he was just playing around.

If he really was going to do something like that, he never would have told me in the first place.

This was the kind of thing where the victim needed to be unaware to do.

At the same time, I knew that the fourth prince wouldn\'t do something like this to me after everything that happened.

So instead, I asked, "What is the situation in the capital right now?"

Since it was going to happen either way, it was better for me to ask about what to expect when I arrived in the capital.

The fourth prince gave a serious nod before taking out a large folder for me.

This contained a bunch of papers that looked like reports on things that he wanted me to read.

Seeing this, there was a bitter smile that appeared on my face, but I still took it and started reading it.

However, as I read it, I couldn\'t help looking at the fourth prince from time to time with a strange look.

After all, the things that I was reading…were just too terrifying.

I thought that he would slowly build up the kingdom after the purge, but it seemed like he wasn\'t planning on taking it slow at all. Instead of using a moderate strategy that would focus on rebuilding, he was doubling down in the chaos.

This strategy of his would cause the country to be unstable in the short run, but in the long run…it would become much more powerful than before.

However, the instability of the country wasn\'t small.

It was a large instability where there would be famines and complete shortage of basic necessities for a period of time. However, the fourth prince had made sure that there was enough breathing room that there would be no accidental deaths.

That was his bottom line that he would never touch.

After all, the people were his number one concern.

However, I couldn\'t help wondering what kind of measure he had in place for the criticisms that would inevitably come our way.

Once I finished reading, I didn\'t ask a thing as I looked at the fourth prince with a brow raised.

He had a smile on his face as if he already knew what I was about to ask, so he just calmly said, "I hope that your face is thick enough, or else this will be hard for you."

A bitter look appeared on my face when I heard this.

As expected, he was planning on just riding it through until the situation became better.

He was planning on enduring all of the criticisms until his plans came to fruition.

One thing that I had to praise him for was how effectively he took away the people\'s power to protest.

So even if they had criticisms for us, they wouldn\'t actually be able to act on it.

There was no oversight at all, it was a perfect plan.

Just that it would be a bit hard for us.

With a sigh, I said, "If this is what it takes, then it is what it takes."
