Chapter 69 Temporary Leader And Heir

"The current best choice is Thomas," Henry chose a person named Thomas, considering all the capabilities that the Temporary leader should have.

"In my opinion, Thomas is the best candidate, in terms of politics and intelligence; he is even better than Jordan, but he was not chosen as the leader because his power was weaker," Benjamin agreed with Henry's opinion.

Among the entire current generation, Thomas and Jordan were the best. Thomas was even higher than Jordan in terms of intelligence, but unfortunately, his strength could not match the latter, and that's why Jordan was chosen as the leader of the family.

Now that Jordan is dead, Thomas is the best choice, but

"Does anyone have any objections?" Henry asked, glancing at the current generation officials. There is no need to ask such a question anyway since the two supreme officials have already confirmed that Thomas will be the temporary leader even if the others are dissatisfied.

"The next topic—" Benjamin also didn't think that anyone would object, so he went directly to the next topic, but suddenly someone interrupted him.

"I object," the voice of the middle-aged man standing at the head of the current generation officials echoed throughout the hall.

"Oh? Thomas, what do you mean?" Henry frowned, Benjamin didn't care that someone interrupted him, but he was also surprised that Thomas himself objected.

"Your Highness, please forgive my insolence," Thomas spoke in a respectful tone and then bowed.

"There is no problem, continue," Henry did not care and demanded his explanation.

"Your majesty, I think it would be a mistake for you to choose me as temporary leader," Thomas explained, remembering Daniel's words.

"Oh? Why?" Henry glanced at the faces of the rest of the current generation officials, and they seemed to agree with Thomas. He was a little stunned.

"Your Highness, Prince of the Hudson Family, Daniel Hudson has declared his full support for Elena and her son," Thomas explained respectfully.

He is not a stupid and ambitious man; he knows when to be ambitious and when to be humble. If he becomes the temporary leader of the Schneitz family, it will destroy his good relationship with Daniel.

In addition, there was even a possibility that the relationship between the Schneitz family and the Imperial Prince would be ruined, and this would not be good.

"The prince of the Hudson family?" Henry and Benjamin frowned at the same time. If it was in the past, they definitely wouldn't have changed their minds just because of one person's words, even if that person was the prince of the Paradise Empire.

But because of the incident that happened a few days ago, everything is different. Looking at the mood of Emperor William that day, it can be concluded that he is quite protective of his children.

"Elena? She's a smart woman who has even contributed a lot to the prosperity of the family. I've already considered her for the position of temporary leader, but she's also a member of the Belfort Kingdom," Benjamin explained.

"That's right, besides, Elena is not a woman who can be made a leader in appearance; just having the name of the leader next to her name is enough for her to increase her influence and control over the family to a more frightening level," Henry sighed.

It's not like they didn't consider Elena as the temporary leader; they just couldn't choose her for some reason.

Apart from the fact that she is from another family, her intelligence is also dangerous.

She only has the title of the queen of the Schneitz family, and it can be said that she does not have powerful access in the family under normal circumstances, but only by using this title she managed to increase her influence and power to a great extent in the family.

Henry and Benjamin were sure that most of the current businesses and female officials, and even a few male officials, were under her control.

If she were to be chosen as the temporary leader, the possibility that she gets control of the entire Schneitz family was very high.

Although they are supreme officials, it does not mean that they have absolute authority. There were other supreme officials, and even a few of them supported Elena, like Jordan's parents.

Henry knew that even Benjamin supported Elena to some extent, although it was not obvious, but if Elena was in trouble, Benjamin would help.

Anyway, Elena was Jordan's wife, and Benjamin was Jordan's uncle. Jordan was completely loved by his family because of his morals and behavior, and even this was an important reason why Thomas could not become the leader of the family.

"Then what should we do?" Benjamin asked with a frown. Although he supported Elena in the past, today's case is very important. He knew that Elena could take control of the family.

"On the one hand, there is an insult to the prince, on the other hand, the conquest of the family by Elena," Henry sighed.

"I think the family will fall into Elena's hands anyway," Thomas said at this moment.

"What do you mean?" Benjamin's frown deepened.

"Steven," Henry showed a sign of understanding.

"That's right, Your Highness, Steven is the only heir choice. Although there was also Lord Jordan's illegitimate son, he's in prison for treason, and even if he wasn't, he also has some level of attachment to Elena," Thomas explained.

"Fairly, Elena's children are currently the only heir candidates. However, Lydia has a cold and unsociable temperament, while Luna has a childish temperament."

"Only Steven and Alex remain. Steven is not only very talented, but he also has strong social connections outside of the family."

"On the other hand, Alex also had good relations and had even more talent than Steven." Unlike Benjamin, Henry has paid attention to the current generation and examined the candidates for the position of heir.

Alex and Steven were the best choices, although there were other young people in the Schneitz family, but they were not worthy of the heir position.

"Plus the prince has also shown his support for Steven," Thomas added.

"This is trouble." Although Benjamin showed that he had a headache, he was quite happy inside. Anyway, although Elena becoming the temporary leader can be dangerous, Steven is different.

Anyway, Steven is from his bloodline, and if their bloodline can once again hold the position of family leader, their power will increase to an incredible extent.

"At this point, I think we have no other choice," Henry sighed.

"Choose Elena as the temporary leader, although impose restrictions on her, and if necessary, limit her yourself if the situation becomes dangerous."

"As for the heir, choose Steven, after he reaches the Lord level, he will be officially crowned." Henry still wasn't satisfied to hand over the family to Elena without any restrictions.

"We understand." The current generation of officials bowed and then left the hall.

Henry glanced at Benjamin, and then they both disappeared at the same time.

"Interesting, these people aren't that stupid." Unknown to them, two figures in the void were watching them the whole time.

Daniel smirked; he didn't care that these people would try to restrain Elena. Based on what he knew, Elena already knew and had even made preparations.

Daniel left the void and returned to Eva's room. Eva had already stopped crying, and upon seeing Daniel, she threw herself into his arms.

Eva knew that her childish behavior probably made her brother a little angry, and that's why she prepared plans in her mind to comfort her brother.

Daniel could also guess her thoughts; he just smiled and then?held Eva in his arms, and they both fell asleep.

---

The day came, and Daniel and Eva got ready after some morning exercise and left the palace.

The Schneitz family had prepared an airship for them so Daniel could easily take Rose with him.

At the same time as they left the Schneitz family and on their way back to the empire, some news shocked the whole world.

The leader of the Schneitz family has been assassinated in the Schneitz family palace.

And according to the information, this work was done by a mysterious organization called Fate Syndicate!

Not only that, but it was even said that during the stay of the prince and princess of the Hudson family in the Schneitz family, they were also attacked by this organization.
