The rebellion was put down, because the high priest was promised, so Shepard ordered to declare only the high priest to the outside world, in a vain attempt to assassinate the king and establish himself as king, but then the wise goddess sent an oracle, invited a powerful foreign envoy to lead the temple warriors to suppress it, the high priest himself died at the hands of the messenger, and the queen was so grieved that she drank poisoned wine and died in love.

Others naturally thought that the queen had martyred the king, and only a few people knew the truth.

The royal city shook, shocked not only by this change, but also by the power of the temple and the messengers.

And not only that, but while everyone was still in shock, the palace guards who had suffered heavy casualties were unable to fill most of the vacancies by the temple warriors.

……

"Your Royal Highness, His Majesty has returned to the arms of the Goddess, but Ptolemy cannot live without the King, so by the oracle of the Goddess, we have come to ask His Royal Highness the Prince to ascend to the throne."

The inner lining was changed into a soft silk robe, but Shepard, who was still wearing animal skin inlaid armor on the outside, politely persuaded the young son of the king who was not yet ten years old in front of him, but although he said that it was a request, the temple warriors who were already on guard next to him made the atmosphere a little weird.

The king's only youngest son looked at the elegant and tough clone with some trembling, and his mouth squirmed a few times without speaking.

Shepard waited patiently, and the temple warriors next to him were only on guard, but they didn't intervene at this time.

After a long time, the prince finally regained his strength, and boldly asked, "...... Emissary, have you really come for me to take the throne? ”

Shepard smiled and said, "Naturally, His Royal Highness the Prince is the only descendant of His Majesty, and the throne of Ptolemy can only be yours...... It's just that I hope that His Royal Highness the prince can pay homage to the gods and know the bottom line of doing things. ”

There is no one in the royal family who is late in enlightenment, especially Prince Ptolemy, who is the only descendant of the king, and has been carefully taught since he was sensible, so his eyes were mixed with fear and hatred at this time, and he finally responded timidly on the surface.

'Nice little one...... It's a pity ......'

Shepard looked at the Ptolemaic prince who thought he was hiding well with some pity, but he didn't feel anything in his heart, he had already slipped away from supporting the puppet, and supporting the prince was just to stabilize people's hearts, after all, the Ptolemaic kingdom was not like the Orton Lord, and the power of the church permeated all aspects.

The nobles and people of Ptolemaic also need a king to go through the transition period, and when the communication between the Eudon and the kingdom deepens, this land will be assimilated by the church step by step, completely swallowing up the power of the world and the gods, this is the yang conspiracy of the frog boiled in warm water, even if the goddess of spring water sees this in the future, she is helpless.

"Someone! Changing clothes for His Royal Highness, the nobles and ministers were still waiting to pledge their allegiance to His Royal Highness...... "Clapping his hands to summon the slave girls holding the clothes, and letting them change the clothes of the Prince, Shepard quietly withdrew.

……

"Your Majesty! We swear allegiance to His Majesty the King and to the Kingdom of Ptolema......"

The not-so-complicated enthronement ceremony was soon over, and more than a dozen nobles and ministers representing the ruling class of the Ptolemaic kingdom knelt on the ground and saluted the new king who was seated on the throne.

The face of the original prince and now the new king flushed, such a scene obviously aroused the vanity of the young man, but he couldn't help but shrink his head when he glanced at Shepard and Gele, who were standing indifferently on either side of the throne.

Not only did Shepard place the crown on his head on behalf of the temple, and from then on he represented the divine power above the secular royal power, but also because of Glee's murderous fierce eyes that really frightened him, especially since this warrior commander had become the strongest force in the temple after the high priest, the wound on his shoulder blade was not yet healed, and the severe pain made the murderous and fierce nature in his eyes extraordinarily strong, and only occasionally glanced at Shepard that made him restrain a lot.

After the battle to besiege the high priest, not only did he despair to find the gap between himself who was doing his best and the other party who was at ease, but what was even more sad was that even the other party's dog could fight better than himself, which was too desperate.

"His Majesty was murdered by traitors, and the people and nobles of the Ptolemaic kingdom were in great sorrow, but fortunately, His Majesty left an heir, and now that a new king has succeeded to the throne, Ptolemy will be even more ......prosperous."

The eunuch with a sharp voice next to him recited the proclamation of the scene, and Shepard behind him was a little sideways, the Ptolemaic kingdom was indeed too rich and peaceful, so that the royal family even studied such a thing as a eunuch.

'I must not allow those idiots to give me eunuchs or anything like that......

Shepard looked at the eunuch not far away, his eyes were a little cold, but he remembered some strange signs that had recently appeared in the church, and remembered the mad religious behavior in his previous life, which made him determined to resolutely pursue another policy in the church - never allow any castration of intelligent life.

After the eunuch finished speaking, he said sharply: "His Majesty the new king, in order to thank the powerful messenger who came from afar for help, has asked the goddess for instructions, and obtained the permission of the goddess, the Ptolemaic kingdom will form an alliance with the distant Odunian tie, and the goddess will also be in alliance with the [God of Light Tonatiu] His Royal Highness the Odunian leader......"

The changes in the gods caused everyone below to look at each other, but they didn't know much about the church, so policies such as sharing faith, worshipping the god of light in a unified way, and freely believing in two gods or only one of them, were easily implemented......

"Something else......" When the eunuch finished speaking, the new king slowly spoke, but the young king's expression was a little distorted, but when the eunuch opened his mouth just now, he didn't know what he would say at all, and he was about to interrupt but was given by Gelie next to him, and his expression of pain was distorted.

Many nobles and ministers below should not be seen, Ptolemy has always been a king, so that the nobles and ministers below who are eager to be independent are very dissatisfied, usually close to the temple, now that the sun and the moon have changed the sky, they are happy to see the royal power suppressed.

Shepard couldn't help sneering when he looked at the performance below that he was afraid or happy to see it, and the king took a breath at this time, and finally relieved himself, and the young man in the voice change period said in that somewhat sharp voice: "In the near future, the kingdom will form a fleet to carry out shipping trade with the Orton Territory, and the royal family will ship three ships, and all kinds of commodities ......"

"This is a testament to the wealth of the kingdom and the generosity of your allies, so you also need to give, and the royal family will later make a list of the supplies that each family needs to provide, and then send it to your mansions......"

The nobles and ministers below looked ugly, but they all responded silently, and the new king looked at the appearance of everyone who dared to be angry and dare not speak on the throne, and suddenly had the pleasure of doing whatever he wanted.

Unbeknownst to him, however, this was actually a ploy to drain the royal family's potential and wealth.
