"Do you remember López's Stella Blood Revolution fifty years ago?" Olivia asked.

"Stella, the tyrant?" Shalom looked at her quizzically.

"Yes." Olivia clasped her hands to her chest, and the rain flowed down her arms to her fingertips, flowing in a straight line to the ground.

She continued, "In López's history, Stella bears a lot of similarities with our [Beheader] King Fay Ross. They are all descendants of the three great kings of the bloody war 300 years ago, they all have extraordinary brains and political talents, and they all have very strong means......"

"They are all greedy for pleasure, and they use the money of the people, and the wealth of the whole country, for their own enjoyment," Shalom cut off her words and sarcastically squirmed, "They all love to kill, and they have all created and carried out new cruel punishments, such as cutting off tongues, amputating limbs, and burning the living with fire...... Stella is the famous [Flamethrower] and Fei is the notorious [Beheader], what a tacit and similar pair they are. ”

Shalom smiled dumbly, his eyes fixed on Olivia motionlessly, as if to say—

You're almost following in their footsteps.

"Yes, in some ways they are very much alike, Your Majesty, and they are all very famous [tyrants]."

"Look at you, what have you done?" Shalom tilted his head and said affectionately and sadly, "King Olivia, after the Battle of the Frost Fortress sixteen years ago, he gave the Frost Title to the Thunder Knight Rosalind, making her the first ever commoner-born Grand Duke.

Later, the parliament was rebuilt, and the council of the three powers of the Grand Duke's divine envoy was transformed into the current council system of more than 100 people, except for the retained less than one-third of the nobles, what are the others-

The down-and-out foreign aristocrats, the merchants who only have money left in their heads, the peasants who are so poor that they can't even read a word, the bakery cooks, the shoemakers, the soldiers......

These people, in addition to being reduced to your vassals, can come up with how many things that are beneficial to the kingdom.

In order to gain power, you weaken the power of the Grand Duke and the Divine Envoys, install personnel in the Divine Council, and set up local supervision departments, which sounds good to [monitor] the sale of the fruits of life, but in fact to restrain power.

You executed Prime Minister Phoebe in the Hand of the King because she was not happy with your changes to the law.

You executed Grand Knight Penny, who was loyal to the kingdom, because she was suspicious of your Kingdom Path.

……

Thou hast disregarded the laws of the king of Rus, and hast disregarded the will of all men, and all kinds of atrocities are no different from those tyrants. ”

"Thanks for the compliment." Olivia smiled slightly, and there was not the slightest hint of anger on her face.

"Compliment?" Shalom laughed a little surprised, "Didn't you hear that I was sarcastic?" ”

"Whether it's a flamethrower or a beheader, look at what happened to them—

Sent to the guillotine by his own people.

Beheaded by his own knights.

was reviled by later generations, and there was no return.

Spurned by his own family, the portrait never entered the King's Castle.

These are tyrants, and no one will forgive them.

If you don't want to repeat their mistakes, you should stop it. ”

The corners of King Olivia's mouth turned up, and he looked at her calmly, "No, Shalom, this is exactly ......"

"Or are you just emulating them and wanting to be a tyrant who concentrates power in his own hands?!" Shalom's body moved slightly, his armor grinding against it with a clicking sound.

At the same time, the men and horses of both sides stepped forward.

A tense posture.

"No, there is no need for tyrants now."

Olivia smiled quietly, a lonely and bitter smile.

"They have paved the way for us, but we are only one last stretch of unfinished road. Maybe it's full of thorns, maybe it's going to be in prison, maybe it's going to be doomed, and I'll finish it. Until that new future arrives. ”

"What do you mean?" Shalom noticed something strange and looked at her suspiciously.

When Olivia's face showed this sadness and loneliness, she was always shaken.

The reason for the wavering is simple -

Because she is very strong, she will always be one step ahead in predicting the future and perceiving dangers, in the fate of the country and political policy.

She always has a way of convincing others.

This is also something that makes Shalom extremely unhappy-

She could have been a good king, but she had to follow her inner desire for power and become a tyrant who trampled on the law and trampled on the power of the great dukes.

"Yes, there's no denying that they're tyrants, whether it's Fay Ross the Beheader or Stella Hill the Spitfire. During the Scarlet Revolution fifty years ago, Stella was killed by her own own son-

It was later Arya Hill who cut off her head. ”

"Cruel to being stabbed by his own children and children, in the entire history of the Eastern Continent, this is also unprecedented." Shalom scoffed.

"However, there are some things that I found very interesting and extremely scary when I thought about it later." Olivia ignored her taunts and continued, "Stella the Flamethrower, in order to enjoy herself from the cold city of Dawn to the south when winter comes, she spent a lot of money and manpower to dig the very famous Avenues of Dawn, do you remember? ”

"Of course," Shalom responded, "in ten years, dozens of mountain tunnels were opened, gullies were filled, and the famous Ice Dragon Mountain Plank Road was built so that she could ride the carriage smoothly south, but more than 600,000 laborers died during this period, and countless amounts of money were spent." History will not forget such atrocities. ”

"Good." Olivia nodded approvingly, quite satisfied with Shalom's memory, "Then let me tell you another thing, do you remember the [Winter Sun Magic Array] created by Stella?" ”

"It was a frenzied act." Shalom recalled the history, "In order to make her movement more convenient, to facilitate her patrol and supervision in the kingdom, and to firmly control the power in her own hands, Stella used more than 500 magicians and 300,000 laborers to mine the minerals in the eastern magic crystal mines, and created magic teleportation arrays all over the country's important cities by artificial accumulation.

More than 200 magicians died because of the depletion of magic, 300,000 laborers did not understand magic, and the magic crystal itself has a strong corrosive effect on the body.

It was this act that directly angered the vassals and people of the territory, and Stella's eldest son Arya took the lead in raising the banner of rebellion, leading her knights to attack the castle and cut off Stella's head. ”

"In a word, Stella is a tyrant and madman in the truest sense of the word, and during her reign, López was plunged into unprecedented turmoil and darkness."

Shalom forced Olivia's eyes and said coldly, "So that's why we're standing here, before you become the next Stella, I'm going to cut off your head even if I sacrifice the entire Yuyan Territory!" ”
