On the day of the Swelling in October 1227 of the Fourth Age, the Dawning Empire was proclaimed, and Theresia ascended to the throne as the Empress of Order as the Acting Agent of Kem.

The former site of the Valentine Cathedral, the capital of the empire, because it was still a white land, the original Valentine Kingdom's royal capital Shield Fort was renamed the Holy Steps City as the temporary imperial capital, which means to hold up the sacred staircase of the god emperor in place.

The empire encompassed almost all of East Finn, and there were many variations in the divisions under its jurisdiction.

The original kingdoms, Hadlang, Redstone, Sachiton, and Elanis in the central and south, Gawain, Reem, and Candas, in the north, and Betmund, in the west, a total of eight kingdoms remained.

The kingdom of San Canos in the northwest was defeated by Sylvie because of a conspiracy with Ika to lure orcs into the country. Although she left behind royal blood, the empress did not allow the name of St. Canos to tarnish the crown, and reduced the country to a principality, while setting aside half of the territory and setting it up as the Viceroyalty of the Western Frontier.

The original kingdom of Valentine, the two principalities of Tangus and Norton, were classified as direct territories of the empire, and were governed by governors and officials sent by the empress.

Among them, the Duchy of Tangus was offered by the Grand Duke Tangus on his own initiative, and the empress retained his title of Duke Tangus, and one-third of the direct territory of the Duchy was also reserved as a duke's fief, and also awarded him the reputation of "Shieldman", as well as the lifelong title of "Grand Master of the Holy Knights of the God Emperor".

Norton was the revocation of the entire duchy and the Grand Duke's realm was taken over to the Empire. Given Norton's intellectual woes, it was unseemly to put the title of "leader of the rebel group" on him, and the Empress did not want to pursue him. Valentine set aside several estates as the Barony of Norton, leaving the stupid pig there to fend for itself.

The original Dominion of the Forgotten Forest, considering the special situation of that forest, the inhabitants are all pointy-eared, the Empress did not divide it as a direct territory, and still retained the Dominion. However, the two counts of Morning Song and Sunstar were the masterminds of the rebellious group, and the two families were uprooted, and all the territories were given to the half-elf officers and soldiers who had made great contributions in the war and were willing to return home, and at the same time awarded them titles ranging from imperial knights to lords and barons.

The kingdoms that were kept were not all the same, such as the kingdom of Saqiton, but the great prince rebelled and did not implicate the entire kingdom. The empress still gave Rimako the northern gateway to Sachiton, and the surrounding rich areas, and the title was "Marquis of the Northern Sachitonian Empire", and the fief area was equivalent to one-sixth of the territory of Sachiton.

A large number of titles with the same prefix "Empire" were installed in various kingdoms, including Hadlang, which was also a traditional means for the kingdom to weaken the great nobility in the country, and the empress was indeed seriously laying out the Dawning Empire as a kingdom.

There is one exception, of course, and that is the Redstone Kingdom.

The Empress gave the throne of the Redstone Kingdom to her sister Catherine, and introduced Catherine to everyone for the first time. It was the first time that most of them had seen the empress's twin sister, and apart from the short pale blonde hair and silver-gray eyes, her face was exactly the same as that of the empress, which amazed and admired the vassals.

The empress also announced a big news, Duke Prell of the Hadron Kingdom, will join the Redstone royal family and become the princess of the Redstone Queen. This finally confirmed the rumors of Li Qi's intimate relationship with the Empress, and Li Qi became the Empress's brother-in-law in the name of it.

As for the wealth, the prince or something, from the perspective of the law of nobility, this is normal, and no one ridicules Rich-Prell for becoming a son-in-law.

It's just that some things on the scene were quite bizarre at that time, such as the half-elf named Qili blushing and shouting that this is absolutely impossible, and everyone thought she had an ambiguous relationship with Li Qi. Seeing Queen Catherine cry and laugh as if she was overjoyed, Queen Catherine threw herself into her arms, and the suspicion turned to the two of them.

Could Queen Catherine be ...... Uh-huh, Lily?

The hiccup passed quickly, and the Empress went on to announce several more appointments, and no one noticed a single problem, and even if she did, she thought that the Empress had already made arrangements, and it was not worth dwelling on at this time.

That is the arrangement of the Dukedom of Prell, although Richie Prell sits on a cold bench in the Order League, but after all, he is the bench in the first row, and his status is very high, and the queen even gave him the mission of commanding the "second front".

Now that the empire has been rebuilt, the power of Prell seems to have been forgotten by the empress.

Prell's territory is the entire Godfall Plateau, and although the population under its jurisdiction is small, it is larger than the kingdom of Hadlang. and with Prince Belino, who is in the midst of the spokesperson of the god of cruelty...... No, it's strange that the kingdom of Koster under the king's rule is hostile and has no status on the map of the empire.

Maybe this matter has something to do with Li Qi's entry into the Redstone royal family, and the person who thought of this question was so brainy.

The Empress was the first to appoint Sylvie as the Governor of the Empire's Western Frontiers, and bestowed the title of Duke. Sylvie's mission is to return to the northwest as soon as possible and bring the kingdom of Bled into the empire.

Later, her uncle, Hadlang's current king, Gesut, was appointed as Prime Minister, the magical teacher Medi was appointed Minister of the Imperial Ministry of Magic, and Brinto, the former personal adviser, was appointed Minister of the Interior, which was very much in line with the rules of the old aristocracy.

All the legends who supported the empress were awarded the title of Guardian of Valentine, equivalent to the treatment of an imperial count, and received the corresponding domains and estates in Valentine. The original core legend was awarded the title of Marquis, and Hathaway received the title of Duchess of Ted, and of course the fief was still the original marquisate of the Kingdom of Sachiton.

The first appointments were of the highest importance, and subsequent appointments had to be determined according to the establishment of the various institutions of the empire. However, the empress still made three arrangements herself.

First of all, of course, the army, those directly under the princes and nobles, either returned to their places of origin, or were disrupted and reorganized. The Imperial Army will be rebuilt with the Independent Legion of the Alliance of Order as its core.

The Empress divided the Imperial Army into two categories: the Legion and the Knights, and the Legion was divided into three levels, the first of which was the Legion of the Guards, which would be divided into various fortresses on the border and inland of the Empire, and would be responsible for the garrison of the border and inland important places. The second level is the mobile corps, which is used to deal with large-scale battles and is stationed in various places. The third level is the Guards Legion, which is stationed in Valentine and guards the imperial capital and the empress.

The Knights are adapted from the original Order Holy Knights and Alliance Knights, and are composed of clergy such as the Holy Knights of the God Emperor, the Knights of the Oath, and the Imperial Holy Warriors.

In addition to the army, the empress's arrangements for the other two departments reveal that she regards them as a double-edged sword.

The Empress established the Imperial Ministry of Communications to directly oversee the development of communications technology and oversee the functioning of the Joint Communications Commission. It seems that the "congratulatory telegram" from Tiannan and Haibei made a deep impression on the empress, and she also gained a new understanding of the power of the United Communications Network.

The other department is the Imperial Teleportation Department, as the name suggests, the Empress does not allow anyone outside the Empire to send large numbers of people and materials to any part of the Empire in a short period of time through teleportation circles, portals, and other teleportation technologies. Of course, except for forces such as the Church of the Goddess of Commerce and the Dragon Clan, the empire must also have the power to know and even supervise, and the specific executor is this department.

In just a few hours, the empress pressed everyone, not only made preliminary revisions to the French regulations of the Oath of the Broken Tower and the Order Alliance, but also finalized the most important regional adjustments, knighthood awards, department settings and personnel appointments.

In the middle of the night, seeing many people rubbing their eyes and yawning, the Empress finally announced that the meeting was over, and that she would be in the Shield Fortress tomorrow...... No, the Holy Steps City continues to meet.

Outside the castle, the Legionnaires were satisfied with the Queen's oath to wear the crown, and most of them had already returned to camp. A few of them remained without the restraint of the chief, lit bonfires, sang and danced around the castle, and were immersed in joy, and no one dared to bother with them at this time.

The princes, nobles and bigwigs who belonged to the "imperial party" inside and outside the castle were all excited, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time, and they couldn't sleep this night.

The emotions of those "leaders of the rebel clique of the royal party" who were locked up in the dungeon were even more difficult to suppress. Some gritted their teeth and scolded, some cried lowly, some laughed, and some were silent and didn't say a word.

Alone in a cell, Roydas was as silent as a dead man, and for hours, facing the wall, sat upright, almost a statue. It wasn't until a familiar voice sounded that there was movement.

Roydas asked tremblingly, "Numanel, are you here to cut off my head?"

Numan-El didn't speak, handed him a document, and then lit the fluorite lamp in the room, and the words on the cover of the document were revealed, which was the minutes of the meeting.

Roydas took the document and read it page by page, snorting coldly with each turn.

After hurriedly flipping through it, his eyes flickered and he was silent.

"After reading these minutes, you should understand that Your Majesty did not wear the crown for his own selfish desires, but to integrate East Fein into one large kingdom. The crown and the empire only give the kingdom a veritable form. Underneath this, there is still the noble inheritance and the eternal law. ”

"Your Majesty knows that you are loyal, but you can't think about it for a while, so you make these messes. ”

Numan-El said earnestly: "Your Majesty asked me to persuade you, return to the shield fort tomorrow, and ask Your Majesty for your guilt." How could Your Majesty kill you? She is so merciful, if she sacrifices her life to bring stability and happiness to everyone, she will sacrifice herself without hesitation, don't you think about Your Majesty and only care about your own interests?"

"Profit, this is faith!"

Roydas burst into tears: "I just know that Your Majesty is merciful, so I absolutely do not want to give in!" When Your Majesty was a naïve princess, she said to me: 'Roydas, this road must be very long, maybe I will be lost by all kinds of temptations on the road, and you must remember to remind me when the time comes', yes, she said so!'

The old man fell into memory: "When I first met her, she called me Grandpa Roydas. I said that this is unacceptable, and she said that respecting the old and loving the young is an eternal law that nobles should abide by, and even if the world is destroyed, it should not be forgotten. How pure she was at that time, and she could still see baby fat on her face. ”

"And now......"

The old man's jaw trembled, and his messy gray beard became even more messy: "We responded to her call to fight to overthrow the church that pressed on the nobility! Now Your Majesty has forgotten her original intention, right?

Numael sighed: "Your Majesty did not let them share the world with you on an equal footing, but only let you give up some benefits a little, so that everyone is satisfied." The establishment of empires is also about keeping you and them together, rather than killing each other. ”

"Give up a little bit of your interest?"

The old man sneered, "This is just the beginning! You should see clearly, Numael, Your Majesty is starting to abandon us! Empire? Whether it's the Magic Empire, the Roland Empire, or the Tudor Empire, everything will repeat itself, and eventually those guys will become new nobles, and our corpses will turn to dirt, and no one cares." ”

"People will always die, kingdoms and empires will always weaken or even disappear, what does not change is the law", Numael shook his head and said, "We are all mortals, don't ask for eternity, that is the world that can only be touched by His Majesty." ”

Roydas's voice sharpened: "She can be eternal, why don't you take us with you for eternity!?"

Numanel didn't want to argue anymore: "So, you still refuse to admit your guilt and don't bow to Your Majesty?"

"Confession?"

Roydas muttered for a while, gasped and said, "Restore the Duchy of Norton, pursue the murderer of my son, and I will confess!"

"This is impossible," Numanel said pityingly, "it is not a deal, but you sincerely confess your sins and confess your master, so that your life can be saved." Your Majesty is merciful, and will transfer you to Valentine, give you the title of Count, and then work hard from the Legion Commander. ”

"There is no commander!I, Roydas, do things, who else do I need to direct!?"

Roydas roared to his feet and roared like an angry lion, the force of which rattled the walls of the room on all four walls, sending clouds of smoke and dust.

Before the smoke and dust could get close to the corner of Numanel's clothes, it dispersed, and Bennuin let out a helpless sigh in the legend: "Then you ...... Take care. ”

He whispered again: "If you want to leave quietly, Your Majesty will not really hunt you down, go out and think about it, maybe you will figure it out." ”

After Numanel left, Roydas blushed and muttered to himself angrily: "If you want me to throw away my glory and flee in shame, never!"

The old man snorted and gasped for a while, and his eyes lit up with a blazing light: "Perhaps, only in this way can I wake up Your Majesty, and only in this way can I prove my innocence." ”

The prison guards of the dungeon gathered at the gate, chatting excitedly. The cell boss and His Excellency Numan El just now have specially explained that anyone who wants to escape does not have to be stopped, let alone make a noise, just report directly to the police, in short, today is the easiest day since becoming a jailer.

While discussing how much bounty the Empress would give when he ascended the throne, a thunderous cry rang out from the depths of the dungeon: "I am innocent!"

Then the ground shook, like something had exploded.

The jailers looked at each other a few times, thinking that someone might have broken through the wall and escaped. They decided to go and see, at least to confirm the actual situation, and then report it up.

When I came to the deepest single room, I looked through the crack in the door, and the jailer who had hit the head retreated again and again, and his face was bloody.

"Suicide ......"

In the small living room of the main hall of the castle, Theresia was chatting with Sylvie, Kirly, Hathaway, and Catherine, and Numael came in a hurry to report the situation, first shocked, then painful, then guilty, and finally angry.

"Would he rather die than take a step back!?"

The empress gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "He still wants to accuse me with death? Just having an empire and an empress on his head makes him so unbearable? His loyalty is only loyal to the interests of the nobles!?"

She shook her head slowly: "Ignore the overall situation, don't want to make a little concession, okay, okay...... Good death!"

Numan-El did not dare to say much, and after the briefing, she withdrew, and the Empress stood in front of the window with her hands behind her back and sulked.

That's right, a good death!

Kiri also echoed Theresia in her heart, and when she saw Catherine yawning, she took her by the hand and prepared to leave.

Except for herself and Catherine, the remaining three women are all amazing existences, but they are all women after all, and the chat just now is almost the topic of the three aunts and six women, and from time to time they also revolve around Li Qi, which makes her sweat several times.

It's time to rest, too......

"Your Highness Qili, Catherine's relationship with you is also extraordinary, and Her Royal Highness treats you the same as she treats Richie...... No, it seems to be more affectionate. ”

Hathaway suddenly smiled and said, "Won't you want to share a bed when you go back?"

Qi Li and Catherine stiffened at the same time, Qi Li said, "It's all women, and it's nothing to kiss." ”

Catherine nodded incessantly: "Dead dad, dead dad......"

I was flustered for a while and returned to Elle's state.

"I really envy Catherine", Sylvie actually rubbed over: "It must be wonderful to be able to sleep with His Royal Highness Qili, to be able to squeeze in a quilt with such a perfect body, right?"

Chillie's eyes widened, Sylvie, where are your fingers scratching!?

"You see, Her Majesty is upset and needs to soothe her body and mind, or ......"

Sylvie's fingers slid all the way up Qili's back from below: "How many of us are in the same bed, sleeping on our feet?"

"Yes, it's all women", Hathaway looked at Qili's perfectly shaped chest line, her pink tongue spit slightly, and said with a coquettish smile: "It's just time to discuss the topic between women." ”

"You guys......"

Theresia was in a better mood by this: "Converge a little." ”

"Your Majesty, I haven't slept with you in my arms for a long time", Sylvie coquettishly: "I miss you to death, and Catherine, you haven't slept with her for a long time, have you? ”

Hathaway raised her hand: "Ahem, I can do bone softness, and I'll have no problem adding another one." ”

Relie and Catherine looked at each other with a look of extreme horror.

Absolutely not——!

Theresia opened her mouth to laugh and curse, but when she looked at Kiri and then at Catherine, her eyes flashed with a sparkle that seemed to think it was a very good idea.

She was also tired and needed a warm embrace to comfort her......
