Unlike what I had expected, the main hall of the palace was much brighter than the dimly lit castle of the Middle Ages. Although the palace is located in the middle of a castle, it is a completely independent part, with large windows, elegant decorations, and a large number of potted plants, both in terms of spaciousness and comfort, not inferior to some of the luxury hotel lobbies on the modern planet.

It was previously a place where King Subico held ceremonies and met with local lords and foreign envoys, and was the best demonstration of the royal power of Subico and the glamorous side of the kingdom. Today, however, it will also bear witness to the greatest humiliation of the Kingdom's founding.

The rebels of the kingdom have entered this palace today as masters, looking down on the former magnates. And because the king fled and became the top of the kingdom of the outcast, the noble lords could only stand in line like servants, and try their best to maintain their last trace of dignity in front of the victors.

"It's humiliating."

As a representative of the surrender, a member of the royal family, the highest of these people, Marquis Nirga Subico, bent down very reluctantly, almost gritting his teeth to surrender to the Orientals standing in front of him two years ago.

"King Salondron has betrayed us and betrayed his people, and we have no choice but to seek refuge from Her Royal Highness Princess Avelia. May the Lords forgive our sins in the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess and the previous kings of Subiko, and we are willing to pledge our allegiance to our rightful heir, Her Royal Highness Princess Averia, and give our lives for the honor of Her Royal Highness. ”

After saying these words, the marquis knelt down on one knee and offered his sword and scepter, while the rest of the nobles followed suit and offered their loyalty.

In the tradition of the Subico royal family, nobles would hand over their swords when they pledged their allegiance to the king, indicating that they were on the king's mission. And the king would also give the nobles the scepter, indicating that the right was granted to them.

Of course, if the king is changed for some reason, then the scepter that the king gave to the nobles must be handed over when he declares his allegiance to the new king, and the new king must also grant them the scepter to sign his acceptance of their allegiance.

And now, although they say that they owe their allegiance to their sister, they have given us the scepter. Obviously, they understand who is the boss, but they also know that we have always been under the banner of our sister, and they are also shouting allegiance to our sister, so there is nothing wrong with that.

But I still read a little bit from their actions, because if we take the scepter and accept their allegiance, we will admit that we are rebels. But if you don't, you don't accept their allegiance, and all their unfavorable actions against us are legitimate.

"These old guys are still scheming on us at this point."

I told Fang Zi about this in a private correspondence, and I felt the sinister intentions of these aristocratic politicians in the kingdom. Even if we already have such a strong strength, they don't want to calculate us all the time to win back some poor "face".

"Her Highness will soon succeed to the throne, and the whole kingdom will be hers. At that time, it will not be too late for the "lords" to declare their allegiance to the queen. ”

I deliberately lowered my face and said to them condescendingly with what kind of aristocratic style.

They were collectively stunned for a moment, but soon began to laugh and stood up to declare their loyalty to the princess, the future queen.

"My lords, the former king of Salondran betrayed Subiko, betrayed his family and his people, and he is no longer worthy to wear the full crown of the royal family of Subiko, nor is he worthy to sit on the throne."

I also knew at this time that the northern part of the kingdom had lost the war, that the griffon empire had besieged the fortress of Sakturi, and that the rebellious nobles of Subico had thrown the northern part of the kingdom into chaos. The savior that Salondron had been looking forward to before, the remaining forces of the four major legions of the kingdom that went to the north to fight were also caught in the battle at this time, and they could not withdraw reinforcements at all.

In the east, the Kingdom of Barot also began to attack, and the intention was obvious that it was stationing troops on the border between the two sides.

The present kingdom of Subico is a lamb to the slaughter, and anyone wants to cut off a piece of meat on it. Having lost support, Salondron had to flee with a handful of elite options to escape from Mantas, who could not be defended, and flee to those places that still supported him.

If I were Salondrang, I am afraid that I would not be able to do anything in this situation, and I would not even be able to escape, so I could only shout empty slogans in the city and wait for death. However, this way of dealing with it, which was not too problematic in the first place, has become the best reason for us as enemies to crusade against Salondran.

"Salondron has betrayed the glory of the royal family and lost support. We want to support the only legitimate heir to the royal family, the pearl of the previous king, the honorable Princess Avellia. ”

I was seriously bragging to these nobles, and even I felt a little disgusting in my style. But in front of these nobles, my approach is completely in line with the damn "aristocratic etiquette".

"The Leonard family swears to protect the Subico family, to protect Her Majesty Avelia, and to protect our queen to the death! Two thousand warriors of the Leonard family, and one hundred and fifty thousand lords owe allegiance to Your Majesty! ”

"The Godard family follows your will and pledges allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Avellia, the queen's will is the direction in which we are heading, the Godard family has three thousand warriors, and the people of the five cities are all loyal to Her Majesty Avelia, and the glory belongs to Subic!"

"Your Majesty, our allegiance is as tall as Kester Mountain, our blades are made for you, you will give us rights, and we will swear allegiance to you......"

One of these noble words is more fancy than the other, and on the surface it is loyal to the princess, but everyone knows who it is for. After all, the army is in our hands, and my sister is like a puppet vase in comparison. Although I like my sister, but she has no right to the army This is a reality, even if I really make my sister a queen in the true sense of the word, she has to rely on us, and its words will naturally be associated with us.

As for the words of these nobles, I don't believe a word! I don't believe they didn't "swear allegiance" to him when he killed his father, but today they surrendered to us so simply. And they have always carried the army and population controlled by their own family in the words of allegiance, implying that we still have a lot of influence and control a certain amount of real power. This kind of trick between nobles, even if I haven't seen it, I've heard a lot.

I really want my sister to see this scene now, she is still in the Tibetan Soldier City, thousands of kilometers away from Mantas. But now in this hall, her name is being chanted everywhere, followed by the suffix of the queen. Many of them had helped Salondron think about what to do with their own sister before, but today they were shouting to help her sister kill her own brother.

The so-called glory and inheritance of these nobles seems to me to be the same thing.
