Chapter 281: The Queen's Awakening
Celebration feast, located in the Royal Palace of the Rhine.
It is crowded with people, and with the flickering candlelight and melodious violin sound, it looks particularly dreamy.
Helen?? Teresa leaned sideways and sat on the highest Iron Throne.
She held a small half-glass of red wine in her hand, delicate.
In addition to some of the ministers who participated in the war, there were also noble men and women of the Rhine city, all of whom came to the scene.
Before the feast had officially begun, the crowd was almost all together, and the seats were full.
At a glance, there are nearly 100 people.
The bright gold and silver jewelry, the low-key luxury of the top satin, all reveal the compelling wealth and temperament.
They ate the beef on their plates, bowed their heads and exchanged ears.
In the center of the main hall, the invited dancers danced, attracting applause from the audience.
The candlelight became more and more dim, causing Helen to lose her mind.
In a trance, she seemed to see the young Prince Lauren.
His hair was as black as the night, and his eyes were as charming as the stars.
He wore a neat robe and a wide cloak, a silver crown on his head, and a long sword at his waist......
Helen woke up with a spirit.
The handsome and chic face gradually returned to a young and unfamiliar appearance.
She glanced down at the empty glass and smiled.
There's no going back.
Those good or bad memories can't be returned.
Ayuya was not used to such a noisy occasion and took the initiative to resign.
There should be a family sitting next to her, but at this time, the sides are empty, and she seems a little lonely.
In stark contrast to the desertion of the Iron Throne, the banquet was bustling with guests.
The aristocrats have long been accustomed to such occasions, no matter who the other party is, they can push the cup and change the lamp, talk and laugh freely.
After the dance, the singer followed.
The two nobles raised their glasses and acted as licking dogs.
That's really a subtle thing to say.
first praise the queen's exquisite appearance, and then praise the noble character.
After the praise, it seems that he has not run out of words, and he began to praise his unwarranted political achievements.
In the end, he even touted the fabricated content on the battlefield.
There is a way that everyone carries a sedan chair, and Helen heard the element of lying, but she smiled awkwardly and did not pierce it, not wanting to sweep everyone's Yaxing.
Gradually, however, she sensed that something was wrong.
The two nobles sang and harmonized, as if they had colluded in advance.
"Her Majesty's magic is profound, and she defeated Verga's army without a single soldier. β
"That is, how can ordinary witches be compared. β
This kind of remark is put on a celebration banquet, even if it is a compliment, it is quite rude.
Seeing Helen's cold face, the two nobles not only did not restrain themselves, but became even more presumptuous.
The reason why he dares to be so unscrupulous is that he has eaten Helen?? Teresa didn't dare to do anything with them.
The two little nobles are just pawns in front of the stage.
The details of the queen, they are clear about the investigation.
Princess Yas, who was expelled from the royal family, did not seem to them to be a threat.
The identity of the witch is invented, and it is impossible to count.
They dragged Helen's biggest supporter, Earl Charles, a queen close to an empty shelf, nothing.
The witch and witch hired by Helen in the past are missing.
The only woman who was with her was under close surveillance, and she didn't come to the party tonight.
The two nobles and the forces behind them had investigated the situation clearly in advance.
Coupled with the benefits promised by the big man, and the fact that most of the people present were their own people, the two nobles dared to die like this.
If you have a soft knife like a boaster, even if you don't praise it, you won't be punished.
If the queen does any radical actions, words and deeds, she will be left behind.
Helen's face was flushed, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak.
She was well aware that some nobles were reluctant to recognize her status as Queen Monte.
But now that the war has just stopped, they rushed to find fault.
Is it because she has a gentle temperament and is easy to bully?
"Boom. β
At this moment, a blue cloth bag was suddenly thrown from the air onto the main hall.
The kinetic energy of the fall caused the strap to loosen, causing the contents to roll out.
A bloody human head.
"Yikes!"
Pampered ladies have seen such an exciting scene there.
They covered their eyes and screamed, their shrill voices sounding particularly uncomfortable.
"Guards, call the guards!"
"Yes...... It's the Marquis of Kent!"
Soon the name of the head owner was called, and he was one of the biggest names in the Rhine.
When the two dead nobles saw this, their faces were even more uncomfortable than eating.
The big man behind the scenes who provoked them to come out and make trouble was none other than this Marquis of Kent!
In the hustle and bustle, a white-clothed Yuzao fell from the eaves of the main hall under the gaze of hundreds of eyes.
That elegant posture is like a fairy from the sky.
As her body fell, her gaze gradually changed.
It's not the cuteness of one tail, nor the charm of three tails, but a kind of ......
The indifference of contemplating all beings.
A flood of guards poured in, surrounding the entrance to the main hall.
This gave several ministers who were scared to pee their pants confident, and they scolded: "You witch, why did you kill the Marquis of Kent?"
In the West, there is no such thing as a fox spirit or a fox demon.
As long as a woman can do strange magic, they are all collectively called witches.
"Stupid. β
Tamamae spoke contemptuously and threw a roll of parchment with handwriting written in front of everyone.
The minister on the side picked it up and swept it hastily, his face cloudy: "No...... It can't be!"
The nobleman next to him hurriedly asked, "What is written on it?"
Yuzao swept his eyes coldly, and took over the conversation without waiting for the minister to answer: "The Marquis of Kent colluded with neighboring countries, had close contacts, and wanted to rebel, so he should be punished according to the law." β
The nobleman glared at her in disbelief, and when he stepped forward to check the parchment, his face was strange.
If the evidence is conclusive, there really is no problem in killing him.
But......
Tamamo didn't give them much time to react, as if playing a trick, he pulled out several heavy rolls of parchment.
She flipped through one of the volumes and read it directly:
"Augusta?? Gary, Armory.
Jordan?? Davis, downstairs in the city.
Defoe?? D?? Smith, West Bazaar.
Bach?? Anderson, Barracks ......"
Every time she recited a name, she added a location.
The faces of the ministers and nobles present who were read turned pale all of a sudden.
These rolls of parchment are full of evidence of their embezzlement and collusion with their neighbors!
They looked at each other and exchanged glances frequently.
Consider whether to rebel collectively on top of the main hall.
Anyway, if you poke it out, it's death, so it's better to make a big fuss.
After quickly reciting a large number of names and locations, Tamamo closed the parchment and glanced at it coldly:
"You should know what I just read. β
With that, she walked to the corner of the hall and threw the parchment into the brazier.
"Now, it's all in the past. β
The flames continued to devour the parchment, and it quickly burned clean.
The nobles and ministers with unclean foundations looked at each other with bewildered expressions.
They really can't figure out what kind of play the other party is playing after revealing the incriminating evidence and then suddenly destroying the evidence?
Suddenly, a raging fire rose in Tamamo's front hand, which was even more intense than the flames in the basin.
Those who are close feel the scorching heat of the high temperature and consciously retreat.
Yuzao glanced around and said coldly, "Are you fools?"
The corners of the nobleman's mouth twitched when he intended to rebel, staring at the flame, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
Yuzao lowered his eyebrows and continued: "Nobles and ministers serve the royal family, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than for the interests of the family, that is, the word profit. Just for those petty profits, you will sell the royal family?well, even if you succeed, the prince will take over Monte and fulfill all the benefits promised to you. And then, how much profit does he have left? When the time comes, will the people make up for it, or will it take it from you?"
The crowd was speechless.
Aside from the promised lucrative benefits, they don't really have a strong preference for who will be in charge of Monte.
They all followed the Marquis of Kent to stand in line, and followed the bullying and bullying of this powerless queen.
After all, there are a lot of benefits that can be reaped from the dragon's skill.
It is true that among the ministers and nobles, there are those who are blinded by money and profit.
But there are also smart people who can see through, and most of them choose to be neutral, or take a clear position and support the queen.
Temporary interests are not interests, but long-term interests are interests.
Only this kind of small and medium-sized aristocracy will be a painting cake and fall into the quagmire.
"The previous thing, the queen will not pursue again, a write-off. β
Tamamo took care of Helen, put away the fox fire, and turned his head to look at the Iron Throne.
"Whether you should support a queen who is loved by the people, or a prince who can't be controlled, you can do it yourself. β
After speaking, she squatted down, jumped from the ground of the hall to the eaves, and walked away.
Only a group of surprised ministers and nobles were left to think carefully about their next position.
Between the black tiles of the eaves, a figure flashed quickly.
The faint moonlight shone on the six fiery red tails that ordinary people could not see.
......
"The throne of power is not for anyone to sit on. βTamamo front
