Xu Yi's proposal was eventually passed by the Congress of the Principality of Constantine.
This wasn't surprising.
With New Flyer's current influence in the Principality of Constantine, once Xu Yi made up his mind to push for something in the Principality of Constantine, there was basically no chance of failure.
However, Xu Yi's proposal only received 56% of the votes, barely passing. This showed that this proposal couldn't really convince everyone in the Principality of Constantine.
Moreover, the remaining 44% of the members who didn't vote in favor of this proposal almost unanimously abstained. There weren't many who directly voted against this proposal.
Apart from proving that New Flyer's influence was indeed strong, and that others didn't dare to directly oppose this proposal, it could also be considered a silent protest.
This silent protest was reflected in the fact that although this proposal was passed, it faced all kinds of difficulties in implementing it.
According to this proposal, the Congress of the Principality of Constantine issued a 'Slave Status Conversion Act' to implement this proposal. However, when it was implemented, almost all of the lords who owned slaves in the Principality of Constantine didn't cooperate.
Originally, according to rough statistics, the total number of slaves in the Principality of Constantine was between 150,000 and 160,000. However, in the first week of implementation of this law, not a single slave applied to change their status.
This wasn't surprising.
Most of the slaves didn't receive any education, and it was difficult for them to obtain information. Not many knew about this law, and even fewer knew how to apply for it.
Moreover, even if they knew, these slaves wouldn't dare to apply.
Being slaves for many years, they didn't dare to defy the will of the lords. Before the lord gave the order, no slave dared to act on their own.
As for expecting the lords to take the initiative to report it?
Dream on!
Therefore, although Xu Yi's proposal was passed, because of the difficulty in implementing it, the actual effect was almost zero.
In the beginning, the Principality of Constantine and the surrounding countries were paying close attention to this matter, but after half a month without any movement, everyone's attention gradually faded.
At this time, a large matter occurred in the Lampari Kingdom that attracted everyone's attention.
Her majesty Seveni gave birth to a child!
Two months ago, her majesty Seveni announced to the public that she really was pregnant and had been pregnant for eight months.
This news didn't just create a stir in the Lampari Kingdom, it also attracted the attention of the surrounding countries.
After all, her majesty Seveni wasn't married, but she was actually pregnant with a child which was just too shocking.
Moreover, many people thought that this was a scandal that would shame the Lampari Kingdom's royal family and even the entire Lampari Kingdom.
But in these two months, her majesty Seveni didn't hide this matter at all and openly appeared in front of everyone. Adding in the fact that the Lampari Kingdom's newspapers did their best to explain for her majesty, everyone gradually forgot that this was a scandal and began to sincerely congratulate her.
After all, her majesty Seveni's child would definitely be the next successor to the throne, so there was no meaning in continuing this scandal.
After two months, her majesty Seveni was already ten months pregnant.
So half a month ago, there was a wave of attention in the Lampari Kingdom about this child that was about to be born.
Everyone was discussing this child that hadn't been born yet, guessing if it was a boy or a girl. There were even many casinos that set up bets on this.
Now that this child was finally born, it instantly attracted everyone's attention.
According to the news released by the royal palace, her majesty Seveni had given birth to a prince. The birth process was very smooth and her majesty and his highness had both passed safely.
The entire Lampari Kingdom was filled with joy.
Since her majesty Seveni took the throne, the Lampari Kingdom's internal situation had stabilized and its economy had developed quickly. The lives of the citizens had clearly improved and the country's overall strength had greatly increased. Even the Sack Kingdom that had suppressed the Lampari Kingdom in the past had to lower their heads in front of the Lampari Kingdom.
Everyone loved and respected Her Majesty, who was able to let the majority of people live a good life, and who also had an outstanding appearance and a benevolent and broad-minded heart.
Now that she had given birth to her child, naturally everyone was filled with joy.
People were worried that her majesty wasn't that interested in her marriage and that the problem of the kingdom's successor was very serious, but they never thought that her majesty would secretly give birth to a child.
Now that this child had been born, the Lampari Kingdom had welcomed its next successor. It was like a large stone had been lifted from everyone's hearts and they felt much calmer.
Under the influence of these emotions, even if there were people who had questions in their hearts, it didn't affect the overall situation.
Anyway, the child was already born and everyone was certain that this was her majesty's child, so what did it matter who his father was?
Including Xu Yi, he also had the same idea.
"Hey, Seveni, this child really looks like you."
Xu Yi carefully held the baby in his hand, looking at his large forehead and high nose as he spoke with a smile.
"I think this kid will definitely be a handsome man when he grows up. Even if we don't count his status as a prince, he will definitely attract a bunch of young girls."
Seveni revealed a faint smile. She looked at Xu Yi before looking at the baby in Xu Yi's arms and a complicated look appeared in her eyes as she said with a sigh, "Being a prince isn't necessarily a good thing.
When he grows up, perhaps it will bring him even more trouble. "
Xu Yi laughed, "That will depend on how you teach him.
Since he is the prince of the Lampari Kingdom, he can't escape the responsibility he has to bear.
You should properly guide him and not use this responsibility as pressure, rather it should be motivation. "
"It's easy for you to say." Seveni couldn't help rolling her eyes at Xu Yi.
"What about your family's Freya?
Didn't you recognize her as your only successor the moment she was born?
How did you teach her to turn pressure into motivation?
Tell me about it. "
Xu Yi said with a shrug, "I didn't care that much, I just let her play however she wanted."
Seveni was surprised, "How can that be?
She is your only successor, she will inherit the New Flyer in the future.
If you don't train her from a young age, how can she take on such an important responsibility in the future? "
"She won't take it if she can't take it." Xu Yi replied with a relaxed look.
"I just want her to be my successor, not the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's successor.
The leader of the New Flyer needs to have enough ability. If she doesn't have enough ability and isn't suited to being the leader, then she shouldn't be the leader. Otherwise, it won't be a good thing for her and the New Flyer. "
Seveni looked at Xu Yi with a bit of disbelief.
"Could it be that you're planning on giving up on the New Flyer?"
"There isn't any connection, right?
My meaning is that Freya is Freya and the New Flyer is the New Flyer.
If she is interested and has the ability to take over the New Flyer, then of course I will support her.
But if she doesn't have the ability or isn't interested, then I will support her doing what she likes to do.
Compared to the New Flyer, I care more about her being happy. "
Seveni looked at Xu Yi for a while before slowly shaking her head with a sigh.
"This is the difference between you and me.
You can let go of the New Flyer, but I can't let go of the Lampari Kingdom.
Sitting on the throne, there are many things that I can't control. "Seveni turned to look out the window with a slightly bleak expression.
"If I could choose again, I would rather not be the king."
Xu Yi was silent.
Although it was easy for him to say, the New Flyer was the culmination of all his hard work.
It wasn't a problem for Freya to accept the New Flyer without going against her wishes, but for Xu Yi to give up the New Flyer, Xu Yi knew that he couldn't do it.
The Lampari Kingdom to Seveni was countless times more important than the New Flyer to Xu Yi.
The Lampuri Family had established the Lampari Kingdom for several hundred years and with the hard work of many ancestors, the Lampari Kingdom had been maintained until now.
If Seveni wanted to give it up now, it was equal to giving up all the hard work of her ancestors.
Not to mention that she couldn't do it, countless people in the Lampari Kingdom wouldn't allow her to do this.
And Seveni's child, since he was born, he had already shouldered this heavy responsibility.
When Seveni grew old in the future, he would inherit the Lampari Kingdom and continue to fight for the throne, there was no possibility of giving it up.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi looked at the baby in his embrace with a trace of pity.
"Pitiful little fellow, having to shoulder such a heavy responsibility after being born, I wonder if you'll be happy."
Xu Yi reached out to touch the little fellow's face, but he found that he was smiling.
There was a funny smile on that round little face which made Xu Yi unable to help feeling happy.
Turning to look at Seveni who was still looking out the window thinking about something, Xu Yi felt that the atmosphere was too heavy. With a thought, he raised the baby in his hand and deliberately raised his voice, "Hey, Seveni, although Freya is four years older than this little fellow, I don't think it's a big problem.
What do you think, how about we get the two of them engaged now? "
Seveni suddenly turned her head and sharply said, "No!"
Xu Yi was stunned.
He was just joking, so why did Seveni have such a strong reaction?
