Although the sudden situation within the orcs seems to be ferocious, they are all contained in the ruling class, and for the middle and low-level noble orcs, it is only a little abnormal for the legion movement, but it is also reasonable.

Of course, the calm expression is only temporary, and when all parties are ready, the accumulated contradictions will explode at that moment, and the winner will be decided at that moment.

After receiving the transfer plan of the orc army, Duke Nick of Kwyn Town immediately sent a letter to Pedi, urging Pedi to send the main force into the Twak territory as soon as possible.

In the imperial capital of Suke, Duke Eric, the Imperial Minister of War, is guiding Prince Sinda through the transfer of power.

In the back garden of Lion Castle,

Empress Diper dismissed all her maids and guards, and sat alone in the gazebo in the middle of the garden, staring at the clusters of flowers.

In the past few days, she has been sitting here in a daze almost every day after noon, for hours at a time.

Today is the fifth day after learning of the unexpected death of Emperor Laubert, after the initial panic, Diper is now slightly more stable, but her whole person has become very confused...

Diper could swear that she never thought she would miss her husband so much,

Of course, it wasn't because of love, she loved her husband, but that was before, and now she only loves her children ... But these days, she just misses Rawbert and her husband.

Perhaps, or maybe not, this question was not clear to Dilbert himself.

The moment the Empress learned of the Emperor's death, she just felt as if her heart had suddenly been hollowed out, and an indescribable discomfort and loneliness filled her chest.

She had the same feeling many years ago, when she had just married Rawbott.

It was the first time Despers had left the Felder Domain, the first time she had left the family, and at that time she was also full of uncertainty about the future and lost faith in her life.

But soon, she came out of her confusion, because Rawbott was a good husband at that time.

The War on the Throne thirteen years ago may have been a disaster for most of the nobles of the Empire, but for Dipel, it was a good time for her, although at that time, she was often displaced with the army, but the care that Laubert took care of her at that time makes her unforgettable.

At that time, Dipper naively thought that she had gained true love and happiness...

But the facts tell her that it's all fake!

Because of his marriage to her, Laubert persuaded the current Duke of Eric, and her brother conspired with Duke Nick to seize the rule of Feld Domain, and then united with Duke Gna of Twak to wage war against Barrett, the 'puppet emperor'.

In that coup d'état, her father was burned to the ground by a fire that should not have happened because of his son's rebellion.

Later, Eric explained that he did not want to kill his father, he was just trying to convince his father to support Laubert, but on the same night that he argued with his father, the old duke's castle bedroom was burned to the ground.

Dibert and her family paid a great price for the golden crown on the head of Emperor Laubert.

However, when Laubert was crowned emperor, all the previous concern for her disappeared.

Dipelt didn't even know what she had done wrong, and her husband would turn away from her when he ascended the throne... As time passed, her longing for Labour and her lingering love gradually turned into disgust, and finally, even the disgust wore away, leaving only indifference and ignorance.

But a few days ago, when she learned of Laubert's death, Dippers felt the haven around her suddenly collapse, and now, when she met with those nobles, she felt that they were like legendary evil devils, as if they could burst out and devour her at any moment!

Yes, she is insecure now.

She never imagined that she would face this country alone, those nobles alone, the people of the empire alone!

Until then, she could get along with the nobles as she pleased, as the Emperor would deal with the annoying nobles, but now, she couldn't, and even had to put on a smile on the disgusting ones.

All of this has left her physically and mentally exhausted, and the few hours a day in the back garden are the only time she can relax... The quiet, empty garden, combined with the cool early autumn weather and the occasional breeze, is all very comforting.

However, every day Dippel spends less time enjoying such moments, and sometimes she even wants to say 'no' to her brother who comes to disturb her!

She couldn't, though.

She is not for the so-called empire, what does the empire have to do with her? If it is possible, she even wants to destroy the empire with her own hands! She has no ideals, let alone ambitions, she is just an ordinary woman, but fate made her the queen of the empire... Everything she is doing now is for her son Zindah.

'Tread'

'Tread'

The footsteps peculiar to military boots are very abrupt in this silent garden.

Dippers was familiar with the rhythm of the footsteps, and a smile immediately appeared on her dazed face, a smile from the heart, and when she turned her head, Sinda had already walked to the edge of the gazebo.

"My child, how do you have time to come and see me. Dippers preemptively said that Prince Sinda had been busier than her these days.

Prince Sinda was wearing the uniform of the commander of the city defense battalion, and the Order of the Imperial General at the collar highlighted his status, his face was obviously tired, and the dark circles under his eyes were particularly serious, and he smiled with difficulty, "Now the situation is basically stable... Suddenly, I was very nostalgic for the beautiful scenery here, so I came to take a look. ”

Diper nodded, "Mastering the city defense camp is only the beginning, and the support of the nobles is the most important thing. ”

"The upper nobility represented by Prime Minister Duke Nick will not oppose my accession to the throne, and the imperial capital has Duke Eric in charge, so you don't have to worry too much. Prince Sinda slowly sat down across from his mother, looking at the cold black tea on the stone table and frowning slightly.

"Want some hot tea?" asked Dipel, who noticed the change in his son's expression.

"Nope. The young imperial prince shook his head, "At the headquarters of the city defense battalion, I have already drunk a belly of coffee. ”

Seeing her son like this, Dippel couldn't help but want to touch the other person's cheek as she did in the past, but she stretched out her hand halfway and stopped... She reacted at this time, and soon after, she could no longer treat her son like before...

Because, he is about to be crowned king...

"You should tell me your troubles, not keep them in your heart. Dipelt saw the child's dilemma.

"I need to marry Penny as soon as possible..."Prince Sinda kept his voice as low as possible, "Kwyn now has nearly twenty troops, but all of them are in the hands of Duke Nick!"

"Was this your uncle's idea?" Dipel's eyes flashed.

"No, that's what I thought of myself, those 200,000 troops have been hanging like a sharp blade over my head these days!" Sinda's face showed concern, "In Crewe, Pedi has more than five legions in his hands... In other words, nearly ninety percent of the entire empire's army is now in the hands of the Reagan family. ”

The queen's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly when she heard her son's words, she had witnessed the war for the throne thirteen years ago, she knew very well the allure of the golden throne of the Lion Castle, she pondered for a moment and said, "What do you need me to do?"

Prince Sinda stared at his mother and said in an almost indifferent tone, "Tell Penny the truth, she is smarter than you think, and she will make the right choice." ”

"Shall I tell her directly?"

"Yes. Prince Sinda clenched his hands into fists, "We need the support of the nobility, but this support must be led by ourselves... I'll go to my uncle in a moment, and I'm sure he'll be more than happy to talk to Duke Nick about this. ”
