Section 34 Sinda Danediv
The sky above the imperial capital of Suke City is clear, and the scorching sun between the blue sky and white clouds exudes a mild spring light.
The unrest in the outer city caused by the resignation of Duke Nick as prime minister has long since subsided, and the citizens who have been on rest for several days have recently been working overtime to make up for the tight expenses of their families due to the previous few days of vacation.
The aristocrats of the inner city, on the other hand, began to become restless after a brief period of calm, and social circles large and small were secretly linked, and a pair of greedy eyes were looking at the empty chair in the prime minister's office, fantasizing about being able to divide the huge cake behind the chair.
Just as the nobles were sharpening their knives and waiting for their time, an earth-shattering roar resounded over Suker City, and the Imperial Finance Minister, Count Stu Garrah, was replaced by this roar, followed by Count McGonagall Tano left behind a field of blood and his right arm.
Who is Stu Garra?
The only commoner in the Empire's 300 years to have risen to the rank of Prime Minister of the Empire, he was the only cabinet member other than Duke Nick who could not be replaced during the reign of Emperor Router.
He represents most of the merchants of the empire and a large number of low-level nobles!
Who is McGonagall Tano?
One of the five major military protection families, one of the most representative figures of the upper nobility of the empire, and one of the three candidates for prime minister nominated by the Council of Nobles.
In other words, Magnauel represents the interests of most of the traditional aristocracy of the Empire. His words were equivalent to the voices of most of the nobles of the empire, and the emperor of the empire not only did not listen carefully to the voices of the nobles, but instead swung his sword and let the blood infect the Lion Castle.
If the replacement of Count Stu-Gara only shook the nobility, then the blood-stained Lion Castle of Count McGonagall was undoubtedly an earthquake for the nobility.
April 28, 3 p.m.
Outside the Lion Castle, on Victory Square, countless nobles gathered here, each with a sword at their waists, and they roared towards the Lion Castle to vent their dissatisfaction.
Scholars from Youen University, representatives of the legal paladin organization, the mage organization, the union representative, and the chamber of commerce also arrived as soon as possible. These people just stayed quietly in the corner of Victory Square, not saying a word to each other.
Sir Samp Reggie, the captain of the Praetorian Guard in charge of guarding the Lion Castle, did not dare to close the gate of the Lion Castle without permission for three hundred years, so he could only urgently dispatch a thousand knights to block the castle gate to prevent the nobles from storming the Lion Castle.
Time slowly passed, and the confrontation under the gates of Lion Castle became more and more intense, so much so that Samp-Reggie had to order all the knights to draw their swords at their waists, raise their shields and mount their spears.
"You bastards, put my weapons away. β
"Put away your weapons, the gods are watching you!"
"Little bunnies, you weren't born when we raised our spears!"
The nobles were not afraid of the spears and swords of the knights of the Lion Castle, and the knights who trained them from an early age honed their extraordinary strength and courage. Besides, these knights under the gates of Lion Castle were the children of their families.
Who is afraid of their juniors?
"Get out of here!" a nobleman angrily smashed the helmet of the knight at the front with the hilt of his sword.
"Everything we are doing now is in accordance with the laws of the Empire, and even the Emperor of the Empire has no right to prevent us from entering the Lion Castle!" a middle-aged nobleman at the front looked at the Captain of the Praetorian Guard, Semp-Regi, behind the knight lineup, "If you don't want anything unpleasant to happen again, it's best to let them all get out of my way!"
"Lion Castle never turns down a visit from a nobleman, what do you want to do?"
"Are you going to block our meeting with the Emperor?"
Samp-Reggie was sweating all over, and he felt that the sun's rays in the afternoon suddenly became very hot, and he took off his leather gloves and wiped the sweat from his palms vigorously, and then ordered the knightly officer beside him: "No one is allowed to use force without a specific order." His voice became a little hoarse as he spoke, and he trembled a little, "But don't let them rush into the Lion Castle." β
With that, he ignored the nobles' curses and turned to walk towards the interior of the Lion Castle.
...
In the Emperor's study in the back hall of the Lion Castle, the young Emperor Sinda sat on a large sofa, and the bloody steel sword on the stone floor illuminated by magic lamps next to him was a little dazzling, and a large pool of dry blood next to the steel sword stretched to the door.
"Damn, shit!" Sinda gritted her teeth, her crimson eyes sometimes murderous, sometimes helpless.
"Smack!" suddenly a slap sound sounded in the empty hall!
But it was Sinda who slapped herself, and his whole body trembled, and five red guides appeared on his cheeks in an instant.
Obviously, the young emperor also knew that what he was doing was wrong.
He knew he was wrong, but he couldn't stop himself from making it.
Endure!
Everybody says 'patience,' but very few people endure when anger strikes!
In the morning, when he removed Stu Garra in a fit of rage, he warned himself not to be swayed by his anger. But less than five hours later, he made the same mistake, and it was even worse than it was in the morning!
The noise in Victory Square could be faintly heard through the window, he didn't dare to think about the scene over there, he wanted to close the window and make his ears quiet, but he didn't have the courage to go to the window, he didn't even dare to look at the blood on the ground and the steel sword!
He was now slumped on the couch like a child, dazed and helpless.
"Tuk!"
A soft knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Before Sinda could reply, the door opened, and in came the Imperial Empress Penny and Lady Dilbert.
Dippers looked at Sinda's helpless and hesitant appearance at the moment, and was distressed, "Step... She stepped forward at great speed, crouched down and cupped Zindha's cheek, and whispered, "My child..."
Penny couldn't help but jump wildly at the bloodstains on the bottom plate and the steel sword's eyelids, she took a deep breath and said to Samp-Reggie who was following behind her, "Arrange for someone to clean the bottom plate." β
With that, she slowly approached the mother and son of Dippers...
Madame Despert's eyes were filled with tears at the moment, but she tried to restrain herself from letting her tears fall, and the anger of Sinda in her arms had long since vanished, leaving nothing but helplessness and hesitation.
Penny looked at Zinda with a little disappointment in her eyes... The sunny and progressive prince who was originally in her eyes is gone, and the prince who is independent, assertive and full of dreams is gone, and what remains is an ordinary person who sobbed in her mother's arms after making a mistake.
She gently stroked her abdomen, the little life inside that had been months old.
"Ahh
"At least, you know how to blame yourself. Penny's voice was imperceptibly cold, "At least, you didn't continue to hide your mistakes with anger. She met Dilber's surprised gaze and said, "Mother, we need to give the nobles an explanation. β
Dibert listened to Penny blame all the blame on Sinda, her face suddenly became a little cold, and her shoulders trembled and she whispered in a pitch-changing voice: "If it weren't for your father's resignation, would the empire be what it is now?"
Penny looked at Madame Despers with even more amazement, she was surprised that the other party could say such a thing, she stroked her belly and was silent for a long time before she said, "You should have been there for the dinner that dayβ" she said in a flat tone, "As the Emperor's mother, you should pay attention to every word you say, everything that happened today is because of his childish and ridiculous anger!" she pointed to Sinda with a warning in her tone, "Do you want to repeat what happened today?"
Sinda trembled, and Dippers felt the trembling of his son in his arms, and immediately fought back: "Everyone will curse you, he is your husband, who are you talking for?"
"Empress of my empire, who do you say I'm talking for?"
Penny and Mrs. Dipelt were in a cold war for several months, and Despers wanted to visit Sinda immediately when the incident happened, but Penny stopped her because she was afraid that the angry Sinda would affect others.
Resentment and anger finally erupted at this moment!
Diper smiled coldly and asked, "Is it the empire of the Danedivfa family or the empire of the Reagan family?"
"Your questioning is full of childishness!" Penny frowned, she really didn't expect Dipere, who had been Empress of the Empire for thirteen years, to be so naΓ―ve and ridiculous.
"Click"
Without warning, the door of the study was pushed open, and the words that Dippel had just tried to say were swallowed back, and when she saw the maid of the castle who had entered, she immediately let go of the movement of her arms around her son.
At this time, Penny, as the queen, stepped forward to support her husband, and in Dilbert's gloomy face she whispered in Sinda's ear, "You need to change places to meet the nobles outside the Lion Castle." β
Sinda nodded silently and accepted his wife's arrangement.
...
Ten minutes later,
Penny, Sinda, and Dilpel arrive at the reception hall in the back hall of the Lion Castle.
Sinda regained his appearance as an emperor at this time, and he looked at the empty hall and said to Diper beside him, "Mother, the flower clusters in the back garden of Lion Castle need you more than I do. β
"You..."
"I'm fine, mother. Sinda took a deep breath, "You don't want the nobles to think I'm just a coquettish child in my mother's arms, do you?"
Dippers looked at Sinda with concern, glanced at Penny, and said admonishingly, "The Reagan family is not kind. β
"Penny is my wife, my mother. Zinda barely smiled and said before Penny could speak, "You've been speaking ill of your father all the time in recent years, but deep down did you really want to be bad for your father?"
"After I married him, my fate was tied with him!"
"Me and Penny too!"
"No, she's different!"
Sinda immediately stepped forward to stand with Penny, "Mother, you should now go and take care of the flower clusters in the back garden. β
"Butβ" Dippel wanted to say something more, but Sinda took his wife's hand and said, "This is my decision, Mother!"
Diper paused, and she was silent as she looked at Zinda with a determined gaze... After a few seconds, she sighed, glared at Penny with a warning look, and then turned and walked towards the door.
Zinda looked at her mother's departing figure and waved at Samp-Reggie at the gate. The moment the door closed, he smiled bitterly, "Now tell me, what instructions does your father have?"
"There was no message from my father. Penny frowned, she didn't like the tone of her husband's voice.
"How is that possible?"
