Chapter 171: Queen Regent

"You know, when I first landed on the island of Teltu, I swore to myself that I would give you back the throne you deserved?" After a long time, Vanessa said softly, "So even if I don't want to participate in the struggle for power again, I will never leave you." ”

"But that means more lives will be sacrificed," Brandt avoided Vanessa's gaze, "and I'd rather not get the throne like this." The prince looked up at the princess with a blazing gaze, "Why?" You know what I want, but I never make a promise. ”

"Because I can't." Vanessa looked directly into the prince's eyes and did not shy away.

"Then stop wishful thinking and plan your life for me." Brant glanced sideways at the princess, "I just want to see my aunt as much as I can now and make sure she's safe." ”

"No, you don't have that chance." The door was slammed open, and Kama stood across from them, only to see her arms raised above her head, her fingers furious, and she spat out powerful spells at them. A purple mist erupted from between the fingers of the Lady with the Broken Face, and slammed into the princess and prince.

But this time Vanessa was prepared, the princess's fingers flexed, and with a flick of it, a protective technique turned into a thick magic shield, bouncing off the opponent's attack. The mist rushed up, and the silent incandescent flames struck the magic shield like a great wave. But it didn't last long, and soon it turned around and swooped back towards Kama.

"Mom!" Katrina, who heard the sound, opened her eyes wide in shock, and without thinking about it, she ran into her mother, using her body to block the damage for her mother, and when the fog approached her, she closed her eyes and made a painful expression. But the purple mist did not tear her apart, but wrapped them like a net, and gradually retracted, and the more the two struggled, the tighter they tightened.

"Why is this happening?" Katrina questioned Vanessa, "You said you were on the same road as us!" ”

"Honey, I really didn't think things would get so bad." Vanessa reached out to touch the girl's beautiful cheek, but was shocked by the magic wire, "How can I explain it to you," he looked at the girl's mother in embarrassment, "Ma'am, we never wanted to offend you, why do you always attack us first." I guess it's up to you to explain it to Miss Katrina yourself. With that, the princess tilted her head towards Brandt, and the two of them walked out of the room with ease, closing the door.

"So your gems were used in this place?" As the two of them walked down the spacious streets of Sleeping Dragon City, Brant couldn't help but laugh.

"Where do you think I'm using it?" Vanessa and the prince looked at each other, then laughed.

The queen took the parchment presented by her attendants and announced in a solemn tone: "Last night, at the last hour of the life of my dearest husband, the great King Matthew, I was summoned to his side and commanded me to write down his last words. When Matthew stamped the imperial seal, the former Prime Minister and the Cabinet Ministers and Scholars were all present to testify. Prince Terrence, could you please check it out?"

With a smile on his face, the Prince took the parchment and examined it carefully, "This is indeed the seal of King Matthew," he opened the parchment and read: "After my death, Bong Deanna?" Haigen is the regent and guardian of the Burning Flame Kingdom, and manages state affairs on behalf of Yu until my rightful heir reaches adulthood. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

"I would like to ask you to confirm my identity as Queen Regent in accordance with the King's wishes." Deanna looked at everyone's faces as she spoke, especially what thoughts were hidden behind Terrence's half-closed eyes and lazy smile.

"But the king has no heir." The pot-bellied mighty Sir Claria was the first to speak, and everyone echoed.

"And there has never been a precedent for women to govern in the Burning Flame Country!" The speaker was Terrence's direct descendant, the fiery Duke of Restan. Deanna glanced at him and turned her gaze to Terrence, but unfortunately the prince kept his eyes down, and now turned his body to the important ministers under the Dan rhino.

"With all due respect," the aged envoy shuddered and stood out in line, "His Majesty was seriously ill, and the affairs of the state were in the hands of Queen Deanna, and the prosperity of the city and the well-being of the people in the country are enough to prove the feasibility of the queen's rule, and I hope that the throne will take precedence over King Matthew's wishes." "Obviously, the envoy is on the side of the queen, but unfortunately it is useless, the envoy is not a heavy minister, nor has a prominent family background, it can be described as a small person, Terrence quietly watched the performance of the crowd, waiting for Deanna to play the most important trump card in his hand.

When the whispering in the hall subsided, the queen smiled slightly, twisted her body on the throne, and said loudly: "Your worries are exactly what Matthew and I are worried about, but I don't know if you have noticed the premise of the edict, until Matthew's heir comes of age, I will be the regent in place, that is," the queen raised her silver head and looked at everyone as a victor, "I will give birth to a legitimate heir for Matthew," she caressed her belly lovingly and proudly, The scholar has just confirmed that this child is a boy - you are going to have a new king. ”

As soon as this remark came out, it caused an uproar, and everyone's discussion became louder.

Terrence glanced at a corner below, and Sir Siworth, the historian, held a notebook and exclaimed, "This is impossible! Since the king became seriously ill last year, he has stopped approaching any women, and Her Majesty has not spent a day in the king's bedchamber! ”

"The king needs the queen's company," Deanna was unhurried, "but he doesn't need you, little historian." We make memories in the garden, in the drawing-room, in the maid's cubicle, in any sweet little corner that you can't think of," said the Queen, not blushing at all, but with a noble calmness, "is it necessary for you to know these things?" ”

"Dare to ask Her Majesty how many months she is pregnant, can you allow us to test it?" Terrence's people clenched.

"Presumptuous! Are you doubting the chastity of the queen and the legitimacy of the heir! Terrence yelled, and Deanna glanced at him, both knowing what the other meant.

"It's about the Flame Throne and the purity of the Freeman family's bloodline, so you can't ignore it!" The other party is pressing step by step.

"How do you want to find out?" Without waiting for Terrence to speak, Deanna asked herself first, a dangerous smile on her face and a seductive look at the questioner at the bottom of the steps.

If she dares to call for this, she must have been prepared! Terrence instantly understood the queen's smile, and hurriedly stopped his subordinates from continuing to ask with his eyes, and said in a loud voice: "Such a blasphemous act against the queen is really a great rebellion!" Please keep your tongue in mind before I get angry! Needless to say, we will see after October, and I don't think our Queen Deanna will let us down! "Deanna's idea is very good, even if it is not Matthew's child born ten months later, the overall situation is already decided, the military and political power is in her hands, she can completely establish herself as the queen, under the authority, who cares what the former king's edict writes.
