It was already close to dawn, and the army of the imperial city was still searching the forest with torches, and everyone had anger and unwillingness on their faces, and it was at this time that a long horn sound came from the direction of the city gate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The soldiers' eyes were full of helplessness and grief, and they glanced at the boundless forest, but they still held their torches and retreated in the direction of the imperial city, in fact, from the moment Leon rushed out of the city, there was no hope of catching the culprit.

With such a favorable time and place in the city, he couldn't catch him, and once he entered this vast sea of trees, where was there any hope, but everyone was unwilling......

The city wall was lit by torches, and the "elders of the ten countries" stood here, looking at the soldiers gathered from all directions, and gave up the search, which was equivalent to giving up the last hope of catching the murderer......

Also standing on the city wall, there are also the eldest prince and the third princess, and now the eldest prince is looking at the gold leaf in Eliza's hand with a strange gaze: "No...... This can't be! This must be fake!"

Eliza, who had just come up from the city, had the seven gold leaves in her hand, which Da Vinci had just given him, and then Da Vinci and Arthur rushed out of the city, of course, she knew that they must have gone to find Leon.

Eliza's eyes also had a hint of worry, Leonardo da Vinci told him the truth of the matter, including the conflict between Arthur and Leon, looking at Arthur's expression, I don't know how he planned to reconcile in the end...... Or is it a complete rupture?

Looking at her eldest brother, Eliza sighed: "Big brother, you ...... Not suitable for sitting in this position......"

The eldest prince pounced as if he was crazy, trying to snatch the golden leaf: "No...... That's mine!"

At the signal of the old man with long eyebrows, the soldiers stopped the eldest prince, looking at the crazy appearance of the eldest prince, the old man with long eyebrows sighed in his heart, obviously they are all children of His Royal Highness the King, this gap is inevitably too big, just measure at you, and the empire will not fall into your hands.

"That's right...... By the way...... the eldest prince patted his head: "Lord Josephine...... Mistress Josephine is on my side, but you must not disobey Mistress Josephine!"

The old man with long eyebrows frowned: "Take the eldest prince down to rest, he is "too tired" today." ”

If he just lamented the stupidity of the eldest prince, then now, the white-eyed old man is really angry, and he has long known that Josephine is just using the eldest prince as a puppet to control, but he didn't expect the eldest prince to rely on an outsider to such an extent, if he is really allowed to succeed to the throne, then wouldn't the empire fall into the hands of Josephine as an outsider?

"No, you can't do that to me! Haha, I'm your king! I'll be king!"

The soldiers forcibly carried the eldest prince away, and his angry shouts could be heard from time to time in the distance.

Another member of the "Ten Nations Elders" walked up: "But...... It's a little strange, indeed, where has Lord Josephine gone?"

Of course, they didn't know that Josephine and his party, who had been with them all along, and even the current king, were just puppets, and when they died, these puppets turned to dust, leaving no trace.

So what made them strange was that it was clear that Josephine and the Four Princes were absorbed into the enchantment at the same time, why were only the Four Princes and them coming out?

Eliza spoke at this time: "Lord Josephine has already returned to the "Temple of the Brave", isn't there a rumor over there that there is a change in the temple, and news should come soon." ”

"Going back?" The white-eyed old man also frowned: "But...... When the ancestor worship ceremony is ......"

Eliza spoke: "Where do we know about Lord Josephine's skills, so don't discuss this matter anymore. ”

Several old men glanced at each other and nodded, although it was still a little strange, but at this time, Josephine's departure was good news, at least the new king's accession to the throne was a lot less unusual.

This is also what Leonardo da Vinci meant, don't tell everyone the truth first, shake out the matter of Josephine now, don't say whether anyone believes it, anyway, the world is in turmoil, and the image of the "savior" established by Josephine over the years is not so easy to change.

At least let Leon and Josephine stand together, people will 100% choose to believe Josephine, and as Leon said, he has a lot of pots on his back, and he doesn't care about one or two.

The white-eyed old man looked at the gold leaf in Eliza's hand: "Your Royal Highness the Third Princess, the country cannot be without a king for a day, since you have completed the "Battle of the King's Election" left by His Royal Highness the King, then you should be crowned queen as soon as possible!"

Eliza looked at the gold leaf in her hand: "But...... My father had just died, and at this time ......"

The white-eyed old man shook his head: "You should focus on the overall situation, this Doma Empire is the first emperor's life's work, if Your Highness is still here, I must also hope that you can ascend to the throne as soon as possible!"

The "Ten Kingdoms Elders" also have their own considerations, the death of the first emperor, the reappearance of the "worst human in history" in people's field of vision, and the rumors of a mutation on the side of the "Temple of the Brave", so many things together, it is easy to cause panic among people, and it is absolutely unfavorable to the notice of the empire.

At this time, something must be done to divert people's attention, and the most suitable thing at the moment is undoubtedly to put Eliza on the throne, and the birth of a new queen will not only attract the attention of the people of the whole world, but also minimize the panic mood......

Of course, Eliza also understood this truth, no longer shirked, and nodded slightly: "Then, I will bother the "Ten Nations Elders" to preside over the coronation ceremony for me. ”

The white-eyed old man nodded: "This is our business, the coronation ceremony, we will prepare within three days, during this period, Lord Eliza also has a lot of things to do." ”

At this time, from the other end of the city wall, the sun's light swayed on the city wall, and people squinted at the nascent sun, and the scarred imperial city, under this light, seemed to have a breath of recovery.

The white-eyed old man raised his head: "Spread the news, a new queen will be born, and the Doma Empire will surely usher in new glory!"

The soldiers also cheered, and the originally depressed mood seemed to rise again.

At this moment, on the top of a mountain cliff in the distance, a sharp sword qi suddenly drew out, and the sword qi turned the clouds in the sky into two halves, as if the heavens and the earth had been split!
