At noon, the death knell rang throughout the royal capital, a proclamation of the king's death, and the large bell on the roof of the side of the palace was struck nine times, each time nine times.

For most people, it doesn't have any impact on their lives, but for others, today will be a turning point.

"What does this bell mean?" asked Caterina.

"The king is finally dead, and now the princess has become a queen. Garneau said.

"This is the death knell, right?" asked Li Tianrui.

"That's right. Nine times nine times, the highest standard, means that the king is dead. Eight times and eight times is the queen, hehe, but since the queen died, the bell has not rang a single time. Garneau said.

In front of them, a group of Sun Knights on horseback was galloping past them, rushing to the battlefield not far away, joining the battle that had just started Garneau.

In all fairness, many of the mid- and high-ranking knights who rushed there were there to stop the fight, but no matter how big the measure and the good temper were, they couldn't stop some people in the Knights of the Angry Waves from deliberately provoking. So the battle intensified, from a dozen people to hundreds of people, from one battlefield to several battlefields.

"I never expected the knights of the temple to be so grumpy. Caterina said.

"At the end of the day, they're just rough bills. It's no different from the muscles in the army or mercenary groups. It's okay if someone has constraints, but if there is no restraint, anything can be done. This kind of group fight, not once or twice, there have been cases of slashing people with knives before. Garneau said.

"Not all armies are like that. Li Tianrui said.

"Is it possible that your army doesn't fight in groups?" asked Garneau.

Li Tianrui was stunned and had nothing to say.

Of course, this is not the case with the army of true God. These people are just a name, and they are not really God's warriors. Anar, the war angel with an indifferent face, said from the side.

"Say it as if you are. Garneau sneered and said, "Let's go." We went to the city gates, and the two heads of the regiment happened to be called to a meeting by Lord Roland. No one can control them now. Her Majesty doesn't have to count on their power today. ”

The four of them came to the west gate, which was closer to the market, and saw a team of city guards and a team of Sun Knights guarding there. At this moment, a knight of the sun on a horse ran from a distance, and he turned and dismounted, and shouted to the men at the door, "Oh no! We need more support, come with me!"

"What's going on!" asked the captain of the guard of the door with a tiger face, "What's going on in the panic?" ”

The man gasped and said, "It's a fight, it's all a fight, and those bastards of the Knights of the Angry Waves are provoking us. He said that he wanted us to vomit out all the food we had eaten this time. Centurion Rachel was supposed to go to pull the rack, but he was attacked by the other party and knocked unconscious. Now they are still in their hands. We've got to call someone to get him back. ”

"This ...... How could this be? Could it be that the Angry Waves have rebelled?"

"No, it's the same as before, except that this time the people of the angry waves are fighting very crazy, as if they want to crush us. ”

The squad leader said angrily: "You want to ride on our heads? ”

He beckoned his men to gather and said, "The centurion has been beaten, we have to take revenge, come with me!"

The men of the Sun Knights departed like the wind, leaving the twenty or so city guards and a few Praetorian Guards standing there at a loss.

"Alright, my mission seems to have been accomplished, and you can rush out when you need to. Just these people in front of him......" he glanced at Anal, "I guess it's not enough for this eldest sister to stuff her teeth." ”

————————————

At this moment, Princess Laura has de jure become the queen of the country, sitting on the main seat of the palace chamber, surrounded by important ministers of the kingdom. This position originally belonged to her father, but now it belongs to her.

This world is not like medieval Europe, where the temple of nature does not interfere with the succession of kingship. The queen only needs to hold an enthronement ceremony herself, and the succession to the throne is completed. Even if there is no ceremony, she has truly grasped the authority.

This can also be seen from the other people's names for her, Marquis Francisco said: "Your Majesty, today is the day when His Majesty the King returns to the embrace of the god of nature.

"No, that's just right. Although Princess Laura is less than seventeen years old, she looks mature and steady after being carefully dressed, and she already has a bit of the majesty of a king in her gestures, "The current royal capital is not calm, our most dangerous enemy is still lurking in the city, this trial is our established plan, so many actors are in place, we can't say that if you don't act, you won't act." What do you say, Landines?"

The commander of the city guard, Marquis Landinez, bowed his head and said, "Of course, Your Majesty, we have made all preparations. If it weren't held today, a lot of hard work would have been in vain. ”

The Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Duke Bellez of Fort Rock, frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any special plans?

Princess Laura smiled reservedly, "Because dear former Prime Minister, you are also part of the plan." ”

"What are you talking about!" Vélez stood up suddenly, and was about to retreat, but at this time, Master Salmeron behind the princess raised his hand and waved, and a fighting spirit hit Vélez's chest, and the Duke of the Intermediate Warrior level suddenly lost his breath and couldn't move. The Marquis of Landines drew a sword and pressed it against his waist. As soon as he shouted out the door, a group of Praetorian Guards rushed in.

"Laura, do you want to declare war on Rock Castle?" called Duke Vélez in a fierce voice.

"Velez, you may not know it yet, but your eldest son had an accident hunting a few days ago, and I have decided to let your second son, Holva, inherit the title. I have already met with him, he is a loyal and reliable young man. And he promised me to atone for what you have done, whether it is the money that has been coveted for the money of the army, or the slaves that have been stolen and sold, he will compensate me according to the price, so as to alleviate your sins. ”

"You!you!" said the old duke, and as soon as he said a few words, he clutched his chest and fell to the ground. The duke, who had a bad heart, was hit even hard, and finally couldn't support it.

However, everyone present watched the Duke writhing on the ground, but no one dared to say a word until Vélez's body was no more.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that our former prime minister is still ashamed. Dying in shame was the best atonement for his sins. There is no doubt that I have ample evidence here to prove that he was innocent. Of course...... I have a few other things besides his evidence. The Queen's gaze swept over everyone present. Some people are restless, and some people are sweating with relish.

"But now is not the time, we still have important things to do today...... the queen said with a smile. She knew that these guys who relied on the old and sold the old were finally preliminarily pinched by her.

But at this time, she could not help but feel a little regret in her heart, that the man who had arranged all this for her was going to be hanged this afternoon, and that his death was a means for her to attract the attention of the people, so that she could follow his plan to get rid of the old things that wanted to climb on her head.

It's ironic.
