Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Cursed Daughter
Dangdang!
The gong was constantly sounded by the Imperial proclamation, and all the townsfolk who heard the gong came to the bulletin board, although most of the large proclamations that alarmed the Empire did not mean much to them ordinary people. But as a rare Ming monarch on the mainland for thousands of years, Alexander will be supported by the people even if he farts, so these commoners are also very curious and concerned about the king's new announcement.
"Good news from the Imperial Capital! Good news from the Imperial Capital!" After seeing that most of the townspeople had gathered, the proclamation envoy also began to tell in person, he pointed to the announcement posted on the wall and said loudly: "All the strongholds of the Black Shadow, the dark force that plagues the empire and the common people, have been breached by the Imperial Army, and the leader of the Black Shadow Order, the Cursed Daughter, has been captured and scheduled to be beheaded in public at Melindel's Place in Melindel on October 23. The Dark Shadow was the last and most powerful force to rebel against the Empire, and now that their leader, the Cursed Daughter, has been captured, the Dark Shadow is finished. The empire will usher in complete peace and tranquility! Citizens of the empire, enjoy this rare peaceful and prosperous world! Praise the king!"
"Praise the king!" Zhenmin also sent out a sincere blessing, and they looked at the notice roughly, and then returned to their home while scolding the cursed daughter who had slaughtered humanity against the Empire.
But there was one person who stood in front of the Imperial bulletin board for a long time, and if it weren't for the people around him who pulled him away, he was afraid that he would still be there staring at the portrait on the bulletin board for a long time. That person was Regner.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you just now? Standing there, I feel very ugly. After pulling Regnar home, Claudes asked a little curiously.
"......" Regner's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and he was silent for a while before asking, "Claudes, I remember you said about the force called the Black Shadow. Can you tell me more about that?"
"Shadow?" Claudes was stunned.
"That's an anti-imperialist force that popped up eight or nine years ago. Flanda replied, "According to the Empire's analysis, this power is basically made up of southerners who do not recognize the unity of the Empire. Their leader, known as the Damned Daughter, is said to be a female necromancer who is imbued with the breath of death. β
"Eight or nine years, how could they hold out for so long in front of a vast empire?" asked Regner.
Claudes thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not surprising, the empire was badly damaged in the Civil War, and then experienced the disaster of the wave of death, and the empire and humanity need a lot of time to recuperate. Therefore, the royal family did not have much to do about this anti-imperial force that had not been in existence for a long time, and they basically set their stronghold in the south of the continent where necromantic creatures were rampant, so the empire had no strength to manage it. But after just a year or two, the power began to flourish, and it was only then that the empire really took the issue seriously. In the years that followed, the Empire and the Shadow fought several local wars, and the Shadow began to rout. However, it is said that the reason why the Black Shadow has been able to hold out for so long is because the leader known as the Cursed Daughter has the ability to control some of the necromantic creatures left behind on the continent. β
"So both the Empire and the common people are quite hostile to the Shadows, right?" Regner asked in a low voice.
"......" Flanda and Claudes glanced at each other, and then nodded: "Yes, although our northern continent has not been disturbed by the black shadow much, but according to the news of those imperial newspapers, it can be seen that the black shadow is indeed evil. β
"Do all kinds of evil?" Regner was stunned.
"Not only do they attack the official forces of the Imperial Army, but they also attack ordinary villages and towns. Claudes said, "In the past, the newspapers of the empire have reported on many times about the Shadow Massacre of the Village. They would kill everyone in the village, even the women and children. β
Hearing these things, Regner closed his eyes in agony. He was silent for a few minutes, then reopened his eyes and asked, "You guys...... Do you hate her?"
"Who?"
"The Damned Daughter. β
"......" Flanda and Claudes were silent for a while, and finally Claudes spoke first: "Actually, I can't say that I hate, after all, no matter how bad that person is, it has nothing to do with us, after all, she has not hurt my family." So, if there is no pain in the skin, how can there be a bitter hatred?"
Claudes was right. Flanda also nodded: "That cursed daughter may be very hateful, but if strictly speaking, she has nothing to do with us, why should we hate someone who has nothing to do with us?"
"Very hateful...... Regna muttered a repeat, then he stood up and said, "I've been awake for over a month, and I'm almost recovering, I think it's time for me to move now." β
"Okay, I'll get you stuffed with wraps and dry food and stuff. Flanda nodded, and she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Regner." β
"Huh?"
"Did you leave because of the Cursed Daughter?" asked Flanda.
Regner nodded and admitted calmly, "Yes." β
"She's the one you miss, right?"
"yes. Ragner didn't deny it, he said, "Maybe to you, she's a hateful murderer." But for me, she's always just that stupid little girl who can't even grow her breasts. It's my cutest little girl!"
......
The capital of the Empire, in the palace of Melindel.
"Your Majesty, the defense of the imperial capital is fully prepared. Alfred said to Alexander, who was reviewing the official documents, although the trivial matter of the defense of the imperial capital was not under the responsibility of the prime minister, but this time the situation was special, so Alexander specially told Alfred to personally arrange the defense.
"Very good, you do things, I don't worry. Alexander said lightly, he put down the quill, and then asked Alfred, "You say, will he come?"
"I don't know, he was very injured back then, maybe he died a long time ago. Alfred replied.
"In a few days, we'll be able to verify whether he's alive or dead. Alexander said: "As long as he is alive, he will definitely come, and I know the character of that man too well." β
"......" Alexander and Alfred were silent for a while, and finally Alexander nodded: "I've tired you these days, let's go and rest first." β
"Yes, the minister retired. Alfred saluted Alexander and left. After stepping out of the study, Alfred saw a figure that surprised him. But how slippery the old prime minister was, he bowed slightly as usual and said, "Good day, Your Highness the Queen." β
"I am not married to the king, so the prime minister should not call me queen. Lisanna replied with a cold expression.
The old prime minister smiled meaninglessly, and then said, "His Majesty is in the study, and I think he will be very happy to see you coming." β
"Yes. Lisanna answered, then pushed the door open and walked into the study.
"What's the matter?" Alexander...... was stunned in the middle of his words, he looked at Lisanna who arrived unexpectedly for a few seconds, and then hurriedly threw away the official document in his hand and stood up: "You...... That one...... There you are. I'll review the document again...... Wait a minute...... I don't look at it, it's rare for you to come to me, I'll accompany you. β
"Your Majesty need not waste much time on me, a common man. Lishana shook her head.
"What are these words?" Alexander said as if he was a little angry, "You have not wanted to see me for so many years, and today you have finally figured it out, so we naturally have to talk about it." I know there are some misunderstandings between us, but I think these can be solved through verbal communication. β
"But can language bring Anne back to life?" said Lisanna coldly.
"......" The smile on Alexander's face froze, and it took him half a minute to slowly retract his expression, and then asked softly, "Is this really so serious?"
"That's my mentor's daughter and my best friend. Lishana reminded.
"But she really shouldn't have saved Regner at that time! That man must die!" Alexander looked a little excited, he spread his hands and said: "I have told you many times, Regner is burdened with the possibility of the tide of death coming again, and only by eliminating him can we ensure the peace of the continent, but Annelot stopped us, this is no way to do it! Yes, Annelot is your friend, and I am your husband! Am I not as important as Annelot?"
"You're just my fiancΓ©, not my husband. Lishana corrected.
"So what?, you've been in a cold war with me for ten years for an insignificant woman who is dead?!" Alexander scratched at his hair with some annoyance.
"Insignificant?!" Lisanna heard Alexander say, a surge of anger on her face, but she finally got her hands on it. Lishana took a deep breath to calm down, and then said, "I'm not here to argue with you about this, I want to talk to you...... No, even if I asked you, the cursed daughter you caught is little Ini, right?
