Chapter 1296: Empress Shurima's Revenge
The revelation of Fetzer's identity caused a bit of new confusion.
Nami is not stupid - combined with Azir's previous behavior of concealing his identity and the guarantee he made, even if she didn't guess that he had a plan against her, she also felt that there seemed to be something wrong with it.
Azir, on the other hand, was bitter and couldn't say it, and he fully understood why Rhodes had the audacity to face himself and make all his demands without concealment.
That's because he prepared for the worst!
At this time, Azir couldn't help but think of what Nasus had mentioned to him before, that Sivir was rescued by a person - he found that Rhodes had begun to plot against him since then, and he had been kept in the dark, just focusing on Shurima's internal development and the pursuit of the power of ascension, and as a result, after being placed on the power of ascension, there was no room for reversal.
This is the time to save yourself...... Maybe it's just the Volunteers, right?
If the Volunteers were willing to fight for themselves, Rhodes might have restrained himself for fear of being weakened?
Wait, I'm threatening the other person with my own stuff?
Realizing this, Azir finally had a bitter face on his face - he lost this game, and he lost it all at once.
After really admitting defeat, Azir let go a little, and Azir in the state of Heroic Spirit stared at Rod for a long time, but he could only see Rode's firmness and calmness, in this case, he could only sigh and choose to surrender.
"In that case...... Then it's up to you to take control of the situation - I'd like to see if the threat of the Void is really as looming as you say. β
"As you wish."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The news of Her Majesty Azil's imminent abdication and Empress Sivir's coronation soon spread throughout Shurima - the official version was that "His Majesty Azir will become the new Emperor after she becomes an ascender, and His Majesty will continue to teach Miss Sivir after she ascends the throne." β
The Law of Ascension does not actually state that an emperor cannot ascend or that an ascended person cannot become an emperor - but in Shurima's history, there is no such thing as an unexpected, reigning emperor becoming an ascended except for Azir.
Therefore, this statement is acceptable for the people, although I don't know how the new empress is, but Her Majesty Azir is still there and will continue to teach her, then there is no problem.
And although a few ancient nobles who knew something about the Ascendant and the royal family sensed that something was wrong, at this moment everyone tacitly chose to pretend to be an ostrich and not say a word - since they knew the Ascendant, they must know how powerful Azir was now, and such a powerful existence had inexplicably abdicated, and now they jumped out by themselves...... Isn't that looking for death?
It's just a matter of changing the emperor, as long as the above is still really royal blood, then things won't be so bad.
After all, in the long history of Shurima, the royal family has not always been respectful, but even if the heirs fight for the throne, what should happen to the people below, it is generally okay.
The duality of the Ascendant and the Imperial Family makes the impact of Shurima's succession surprisingly small, and it is even difficult to affect the area outside of Shurima City.
For these nobles, the only thing that may be a little interesting is that the identities of the two parties vying for the throne this time are a bit special, one is the resurrected majesty, and the other is his blood descendant, ancestor and heavy ...... The granddaughter grabbed the throne, which is also a matter of conversation.
In this way, when the news was announced, the impact of the matter was as smooth as Rod wanted, and even compared to the attitude of all parties, Rod even needed to care more about Sivir's attitude.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Mr. Rhodes." Sivir, who was brought to Shurima City, did not show even the slightest joy because of the throne, "With all due respect, the development of this transaction seems to have deviated from our expectations - I take over the throne, you handle government affairs, and by the way, give me a chance to take revenge with my own hands, but in fact, the target I want to take revenge has been hidden, and after I accept the throne, there will be an ancestor standing behind me?" β
Rod is also a little embarrassed by Sivir's dissatisfaction - strictly speaking, the current situation is indeed a deviation from the previous transaction between the two people.
Previously, after Rod and Taliyah rescued Xavier, he proposed to propose a deal because of this rescue, and the content of the deal was that Xavier ostensibly accepted the throne, but in fact the matter was handed over to Rhodes, and in return, Rod gave her a chance to take revenge on Cassiopeia with his own hands.
For the fatal blow of the poisonous blade, Sivir can be said to grit her teeth with hatred, but as a truly powerful warrior, she does not want hatred to be done by others - blood debt and blood are paid, and doing it yourself is the sweetest revenge.
After settling a deal, Rhodes brought her back to Zaun, and then formed a special team, called the "Avengers", led by Sivir, to seek revenge on Cassiopeia.
Although the configuration of the team is good, and even Graves has played a cameo role as the vice-captain for a period of time, it is obviously not easy to catch the cunning Cassiopeia, especially after a failed ambush, Cassiopeia is completely dormant with the help of the power of the black rose, and no matter how much he inquires, he has not been able to find traces.
(Actually, during that time, Cassiopeia caught up with Elise and went to the Immortal King's Tomb - and in the Imperial Tomb, Rhodes' main reason for sparing Cassiopeia was also for the sake of Sivir's deal.) οΌ
Now Rhodes suddenly unilaterally demanded the fulfillment of the contract, which naturally made Sivir a little unacceptable - she had not yet completed her revenge, she had to be some damn empress, and she still had an ancestor to offer...... Not to mention how greasy it is.
For many, Shurima's throne is a throne that shines supreme, but for Sivir, who is accustomed to wandering in the desert and making it a habit of strife, betrayal, and plunder, this position does not bring him any goodβno bloody battles, no thrill of life-and-death fighting, and boring.
"So...... To express my apologies. Rod shrugged apologetically, "I'm going to help you get your revenge before the enthronement ceremony." β
"You don't need to do itβ" Sivir was a little anxious, "I'm going to cut that vicious woman's throat with my own hand!" β
"You do it yourself, of course." Rod nodded, "I'm just creating a fight for you to get the little mouse out of his burrow...... That's all. β
