One of the twelve in the chaos of Herland

The new king of Selas, one of the twelve

The important ministers of Haier Milan were all surprised after receiving the "Queen's summons". Since the specific inside story of the previous "Queen's expedition with Gustav Herland" has not been revealed, and the truth of the subsequent "rebellion" has also been strictly blocked, the only thing the ministers can confirm is that "Rolinforth has passed away". Therefore, the people gathered at the gate of the Wangcheng Conference Hall inevitably have a lot of discussion and doubts.

During this period, the biggest event for them was the death of Rollinforth. Based on the many damage caused to the nobles by what the high priest had done to the nobles, there were many people who secretly rejoiced the news of his death. This almost crazy joy even spread in the royal city, and finally was severely suppressed by the successor Rumir and could only be transmitted in private. However, these nobles Disappointed, their status quo has not changed because of the death of the chief high priest. Rumir's style, like Rollinforth, completely inherited the law of his predecessor, which made their object of resentment quickly change direction.

For the traditional aristocracy, nothing that maintains their reputation in dignity is the bloodline passed down from generation to generation from their ancestors, and all glory is derived from this. However, the foundation that promotes blood to produce such glory - that is, the merits of the ancestors for the kingdom will not last more than three generations.

As a result, most of the nobles who were originally meritorious will become mediocre after three generations, and can only rely solely on blood to maintain glory. Once these nobles firmly entrenched in the top of the kingdom, they will completely cut off the way to promotion of the lower level, and those who have been dedicating to the kingdom The resentment in the hearts of the emerging nobles with blood and even life will accumulate day by day...

Legance to spread until it breaks out will directly destroy the most solid foundation of the kingdom, and those nobles who have been corrupted but have retained noble titles will be destroyed without resistance under such an impact. This is an established conclusion that any well-thinking person can draw.

It is based on worries about this future that Rollinfuse has followed his personal principles with almost crazy persistence during his decades in power. Under his influence, even successors such as the king, the new queen and Rumir did not hesitate to maintain the law founded by him. This is a sad and desperate fact for the elders who have lost their power or are about to lose power...

"Behind the fierce storm, a gorgeous rainbow will rise."

Queen Selysia engraved this principle, or ideal, in her heart in a girlish style. She was full of persistence in looking forward to the rainbow and stuck to the high priest's last wish without fear.

After confirming that it was Selysia herself sitting on the throne in the conference hall, the ministers made a voice of surprise and argument. The queen raised the king's staff and knocked on the table gently, and then stood up:

"Thank you for your hard work during this period. Please let me express my sincere gratitude for your hard work for the kingdom. As you can see, I have returned to Haier Milan safely, so I would also like to thank you for all the uneasiness that has continued because of my safety.

The ministers shouted "Huge" together. The queen sat back on the throne and waved to everyone to calm down:

"Of course, during the period when I left my country, those compatriots who were once ready to move may be disappointed that I can return safely, right? Unfortunately, I will not lose my life easily until the Kingdom of Haier Milan becomes the first king and my ideal country. Now I need my companions the most. If you are willing to put down your past predeasure and obsession and stand beside me and fight side by side for the future of the kingdom with me, your glory will definitely return to you. I can swear to the previous king and goddess.

After the ministers were silent for a moment, many indescribable expressions appeared, but as if they had agreed with each other in silence, they once again expressed their loyalty to the queen with a sentence of "veil long live". However... I have to say that Her Majesty's attitude today is really beyond their expectations.

Less than a month after separation, when I saw Her Majesty again, the other party suddenly became deeper and wiser than before, and there was a sword-like fierce spirit all over his body... It was like the previous king Durand possessed his daughter. The ministers were either surprised, felt or afraid, but they did not dare to despise the young king easily.

Seeing everyone's awe of herself, Selysia nodded with satisfaction:

"After all, it is not enough to rely on my personal struggle to make Haier Milan strong. Only by combining your wisdom and strength can we achieve our great ideal. Please give me everything about you. After this black reality, I will return it to you with hope.

"Your Majesty's determination... is really holy."

Driven by a minister, the rest of the people also expressed their recognition of the Queen with the praise of "Holy Ming". Therefore, at least formally, the kingdom of Haier Milan was tied to him by the queen.

"Then... please let me, on behalf of the great Kingdom of Heil Milan, pay tribute to your loyalty and send my most sincere blessings for your brilliant future."

Sericia stood up again and saluted the ministers present:

"Well, now I want to inform you about the recent war situation. First of all, we need to convey a message of deep regret and sorrow for us... His Excellency Leon von Jurion was killed on the battlefield of Hland.

The ministers exclaimed at the same time, which was undoubtedly a shocking and explosive news for them.

"What a pity... After the death of the generals, Lannold, Wilsam and other generals, His Excellency Lyon was the most powerful pillar and hope of the kingdom, but the undefeated man also finally lost his young and precious life under the conspiracy of Hland... This is really sad news for me."

"It's not just Your Majesty... All of us present are deeply saddened by the martyrdom of His Excellency Lyon. After all, this means that the Kingdom of Haier Milan has once again lost a worthy talent to rely on... I don't know what your majesty's opinion on this?"

"At the Marquis Carlos, I have made proper arrangements, so you don't have to worry. The question we need to face most now is, who can take over the position of His Excellency Lyon and shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the kingdom?

"About this... What is Her Majesty's arrangement for the current Heland front?"

"The army of the kingdom has revived its military under the leadership of Alvin and Gerrard, so I have handed over the command to them. Please don't worry."

"Alvin and Gerrard... Both of them are quite young, and Mr. Alvin doesn't seem to be an adult yet, right?"

"Are you worried about their youth? I can understand the reasons for your concern, so I will also give you convincing reasons.

"Reason? May I ask Your Majesty..."

"First of all, please make it clear that after falling into the siege of the Heland army, Lord Lyon died bravely in order to cover the retreat of the remnants of his country, and it was Mr. Alvin who led the remnants of the commander who highlighted the siege. At present, our army and Silas on the front line of Heland have cooperated with each other and have re-promoted the front and approached the king capital of Heland day by day. I believe that the final result will be achieved soon. In other words, Heland has no power to turn over. Are you satisfied with such news?

"However...Your Majesty, from this point of view, isn't the main force of the battle the Sierra Leone Army? Excuse me, Mr. Alvin..."

"No matter what kind of achievements these two young people have made on the battlefield, in the hearts of everyone who takes the result as the final conclusion, is this a convincing result? As long as they can lead their own army back victoriously, do we have to criticize them? And..."

"And?"

"These two young people are both from prestigious families. If I want to take this opportunity to improve their status, you won't have much opinion, will you? In fact, as their assistant, I also arranged my trusted friends by their side, not as in the past, so it is indisputable that we can win this time.

"Her Majesty seems to be deeply confident about this... If this battle is really as smooth as His Majesty said, I will certainly not object to it. It's just... Your Majesty has predicted the progress of the war with such an optimistic attitude more than once, and almost every time it has been unexpectedly frustrated, so I wait..."

"Please just speak bluntly. In such an anxious situation of war, we just need to be outspoken, and I am not the kind of mediocre monarch who can't listen to the advice of ministers. What you mean just now is nothing more than to advise me that I can't make an easy optimistic judgment on the rapidly changing war?

"That's what I mean... But please forgive our rudeness, I don't know why... We think today's majesty is a little different from usual?"

"Why do you have such an idea?"

"Maybe it's just a simple illusion, but Your Majesty's attitude today is not only bold and resolute, but also faintly exudes amazing violence... When discussing military intelligence with Your Majesty, he even suspected that His Majesty was deliberately arguing with us. With all due respect, is it because of any stimulation..."

Sericia glanced at the minister who spoke with mocking eyes, which made his heart tremble and lowered his head. Then, the queen calmly attacked with angry words:

"To say something exciting, I bear it almost every day. Whether it's the information from the battlefield or what happened in the king's city, which one is not tormenting my nerves to me? Please don't forget before you call me Your Majesty. First of all, I'm just an ordinary woman. My body can't bear too much load. If you hadn't stood by my side and supported me, maybe I would have been crushed. Therefore, out of my heart, I must thank you for your loyalty to the kingdom and me, which is beyond doubt. As for asking me why I became so violent today... Can I continue to play the posture of a weak woman on the issue of determining the future of the kingdom? If I can't stand on the earth like a heroic knight, can I make the people rise up with tears alone?

"Your Majesty's thoughts are reasonable..."

"In that case, let's continue the previous topic. I agree with your advice, but it was after confirming the situation on the battlefield of Heland that I dared to make such an assertion to you here. After all, I don't want to continue my past mistakes. In fact, what I want to tell you today is not only about Heland, but also about Silas.

"Serath? Gustav is not on the Heland front..."

"It's not Gustav, but Sierra's own country. Your news doesn't seem to be as clear as I thought... There has been a coup in Sierras's country, and the new king is the well-known Prince Ruthen. Don't you know anything about it?

Prince Lutvin? That is to say..."

"Yes, it's Lute Textman, my beloved Prince Sierras. After a difficult journey, he finally regained the throne that should have belonged to him and was supported as the new king by the supporters of the original king in the country.

"This is really surprising! Gustav is still fighting in Heland, but such a change has happened in his country!"

"That's because some of the ministers who originally supported Gustav also turned to Lutwin out of fear of him, so the coup went so smoothly."

Sely told briefly about Gustav's previous actions, including bringing the body of a Silas soldier who died under the magic dragon back to the king as a gift to the ministers, which made everyone present stared inexplicably wide:

"It's crazy! Is this really what the king of a country should do? Doesn't he really care that his subjects rise up to rebel against him?

"Compared with this, I hate those wall grasses who see the wind more. As long as it is related to their own interests, they will be so shameless! I really hope Lutwen can cut off the heads of these father-killing enemies..."

"We can understand Your Majesty's mood, but this is definitely unwise! For a new king who ascended the throne by relying on a coup, all available forces need to be united. So now is by no means the time to liquidate history... But in this way, can't our country and Silas eliminate the possibility of war?"

"At present, it is not such a clear result."

Serisia lowered her head silently, with a little sadness in her tone:

"There are not a few ministers who support Gustav, so it is unknown which faction will prevail. Even if Lutvin can win the civil war, he must face Gustav, who has a strong warship and military strength, and even a magic dragon... It seems that we can only pray for him until now. However, I have decided to send strength to assist him in private.

"Are you crazy, Your Majesty! This kind of blatant interference in Silas's national affairs is absolutely untouchable taboo!"

"How can assisting your husband be regarded as interfering in the affairs of other countries!"

The queen stood up with an angry face, raised the king's staff in her hand, and tried to knock on the table. Once it fell, her will not be changed, and Haile Milan would embark on a dark road full of thorns... Fortunately, the situation that the minister was worried about did not continue to spread, and the queen slowly held hands. Received it again:

"I'm really sorry... Please forgive my gaffe."

"Your Majesty's doing this is nothing more than based on the deep love for Prince Lutwen. We can understand it, but we have long had such a plea, hoping that Her Majesty can think about it carefully... In the future, after your majesty's wand is knocked down, it must be approved by the important ministers to make your majesty's decree. I don't know what your majesty means?"

"Who has such an idea? Please show me your determination to resist the throne.

Sericia looked gloomy and glanced at the people present with indifferent eyes. Some ministers were shocked by her majesty and withdrew their eyes that they originally agreed with, but in the end, the ministers who expressed this intention in their expressions accounted for the majority, and even Rumir, who succeeded as the chief priest, were among them. After confirming that her "big trend is gone", Selysia suddenly laughed softly:

"I have long had the same meaning about this, but I was once delayed because I was busy dealing with the war. Please rest assured that I have handed over this matter to His Excellency Rumir. The relevant important ministers will submit the specific terms to Rumir and hand over the draft to me after forming a Supreme Council as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The ministers cheered " long live" again, but Selysia suddenly raised her head and fell into deep sadness, and two lines of clear tears poured out of her clear eyes:

"If this decision can be made as soon as possible... Maybe Lawitz, Lannold, and even Lyon... they will not lose their precious lives, and I will not be tortured by that strong sense of guilt all day long. Maybe people have to understand their weaknesses in huge mistakes, but why do they have to make the same level of sacrifice..."

The ministers fell into silence because of the queen's sadness. After a long time, someone broke the awkward atmosphere:

"Your Majesty, do we want to make a corresponding move on the part of Herland? Does Silas and the border areas of his country also need to be prepared?

"I have already considered this..."

Sericia wiped away her tears and reluctantly showed a smile disguised:

"Farn, the eldest son of General Lannold, was sent to the northern border to station the army. Originally, he wanted him to find an opportunity to assist Lutwin... But since everyone thinks this is naive, I will let him station in place."

"Is it Mr. Farn... I heard that he is as good as his father's non-commissioned officer, and he may become the second son of Lyon in our country..."

"It's a pity that these are the only young people I can send now. I always feel guilty about sending young people to the battlefield, but..."

"Your Majesty is also trying to cultivate new blood for the kingdom, which will inevitably be accompanied by sacrifices that may occur at any time. Please don't blame yourself. As long as the deceased express the necessary respect, the living must give the necessary tempering, which is an established law.

"What a cruel statement... but this is indeed the truth. Sir Rumir, please arrange Lyon's afterthought and deal with it properly with the generals such as Lawitz and Lannold. I hope to take this opportunity to make the people remember these heroes who died for the country and effectively boost everyone's morale. Although emotionally, doing so is equivalent to using their glorious bodies, which is really unacceptable..."

"I understand, since Her Majesty feels embarrassed, there is no need to ask more questions and let me deal with it. Speaking of which, when Lord Rollinforth was alive, he was also willing to do this kind of notorious thing for the king... Does becoming a high priest mean accepting this bad result?

Attracted by Rumir's jokes, everyone laughed coincidentally, but after sensing the deep meaning of this sentence, they immediately fell silent. Selicia stood up and bent down to the crowd again:

"Then this is the end of today's meeting, and I should also comfort another injured heart... It's not just a heart, it should be said that the whole soul has been unexpectedly hurt. I really can't find a reasonable way for a while. Then, please ask His Excellency Rumir to deal with the rest on your behalf. If you need me to make a decision, please come to the bedroom and inform me.

The ministers stood up together and saluted the queen. After witnessing the queen's figure disappearing at the gate, they all turned their eyes to Rumir suspiciously:

"Your Majesty... Today's Her Majesty seems to be very different from what she saw the day before yesterday. It's like a different person! The long-lost king's temperament, unwillingness to give up, and arbitrary and authoritarian behavior are like the reincarnation of the first king Durand... What the hell is going on? Why did the Queen change like this?

Rumil certainly knows the reason better than anyone else. In fact, when Selysia wiped out the magic dragon in the rebellion, Rumier understood that Queen Selysia was no longer the same as before. However, this secret cannot be disclosed to anyone... So he tried his best to think of a reasonable reason:

"Her Majesty was stimulated by the defeat of the Heland front, and coupled with the fatigue of the past few days, she was a little depressed. However, more importantly, after the death of High Priest Rowlingforth, you behaved so much that you forgot your duty and slackened, which is the real reason for Her Majesty's anger..."

"If that's the case... you can't blame us completely. Although it is true that we are negligent first..."

"Do you still have to be angry with the people who have passed away? Although Haier Milan is in peace, the shadow of war is still bothering us after all. Don't forget that we still have an army staying in Herland. Please put down your old venereals for the time being and help Her Majesty through the current difficulties together.

The ministers dispersed in twos and threes after obeying the king's order. Rumir looked at their backs coldly and hummed in his heart:

"What a body full of hypocrisy and cunning... It is precisely because of most of the moths among you that the kingdom can bear the irrepressible pressure, and the former king and the high priest Rollinforth decided to deprive these worms of their nests for survival... This is indeed a wise choice! Only after letting these insects shed dirty blood can new life be reborn from the depths of the sun. I'm afraid the doctrine of the goddess is so simple!"
