The morning after the rain is exceptionally fresh, and the sun is not too blazing, bright and pure.

A peculiar selection of dragon-scale horses, shining silver-gray, carried knights across the street with their heads held high, their hooves raised and lowered as gracefully as a dance.

Behind them, Natasha wore a golden crown and held the "Sword of Truth", an artifact of the town, and sat on a horse to accept the worship of her subjects, surrounded by the nine dukes who had gathered behind her, followed by large and small nobles.

When they arrived at the Nexer Palace, the nobles dispersed and headed for the palace where the House was located, waiting for Her Majesty the Queen to preside over her first meeting of the nobles.

Natasha returned to the queen's chamber with a calm expression, opened the magic array, shielded the outside of the Nexer Palace from prying eyes on the core, and then with the help of Camille and the two maids, took off her full body armor, changed into a black court dress, and wore the Hoffenberg family badge and a white paper flower on her chest.

After signaling the two maids to leave first with her eyes, Natasha said a little tiredly: "The pressure is really great, I don't know who is the enemy, who is the friend, who is the supporter who can be won over, compared to the familiar Vaorit, this place is too strange and depressing, when I was outside, when I didn't open the magic array, I didn't even dare to say much in my heart, 'Heart of Time' Your Excellency Ketonia is responsible for the security of the periphery of the Nexer Palace and the entire Rentat." ”

By implication, she didn't trust Ketonia very much.

"Actually, you don't have to come to the throne, Holm's situation is many times more complicated than Vaorit's, and you are an outsider. Without practical support, it is easy to get caught up in conspiracies and rebellions, and it is easy to fall into the abyss by taking the wrong position. It was rare for the deserted Camille to say so many words, with a soft love in his eyes, "Whether it is biased towards the Magical Council, or the Church, or the balance between the two sides, it will cause you a lot of trouble. ”

Natasha smiled wryly, "I know, even if I am ruthless enough to ignore the existence of Granny Hathaway and many members of the Holm royal family. The United Church cracks down on the Magical Council. They may not be able to compete with the Parliament, their strength has swelled too quickly, and if they want to contain them, they need not only the Kingdom of Holm. but also the union of Briana, Camelot and Calais. And. It will inevitably face the opposition and rebellion of the enlightened nobles, and even cause the kingdom to be divided and plunged into serious civil strife. Let Holm be in ruins. ”

"If there is a tendency to balance, the church will definitely urge, and I must take care of the Violet family, and I must take care of my father, who are all in the strongest place in the church. ”

"You know that Lu is so clear, why should you make an unwise choice for Lu?" Camille said slightly reproachfully.

Natasha shook her head and said with a resolute face: "What is the reason for shirking? 'Betraying the faith', will be punished by the holy city of Lance, and the Violet family will also be weakened openly and secretly, therefore, when I heard the news, in addition to the emotional surge in my heart, I really didn't want to leave my father, but also had the idea of using this excuse to shirk, perhaps, in the future, I will go to the Kingdom of Holm, but by no means now, unfortunately, my father suggested that I come, and let me know my mother's regrets. ”

"Since I can't find a reason to shirk it, I also have the blood of the Hoffenberg family, so let's shoulder the responsibility of maintaining the Kingdom of Holm, I don't want to see a civil war in the Kingdom of Holm and turn my mother's cherished hometown into hell, well, I came with this idea. ”

"Besides, I am a devout believer, the patriarch of the Hoffenberg family, the patriarch of the Violet family, and the church should respect my wishes within a certain range, as before. ”

"Natasha, that was before, if the situation in the Kingdom of Holm reached a critical moment, how could the church consider your wishes and only ask you to make sacrifices for the Lord. Camille felt that Natasha's earlier explanation was fine, but the later statement seemed to be a bit written.

Natasha smiled and said firmly: "If it is completely against my will, I would rather sacrifice myself, the church cannot interfere with the royal power at will It was a pact made by the two parties in front of the Lord hundreds of years ago, and if the church breaks it, they are heretics and the object of hostility of all nobles. ”

Camille looked at Natasha, helped her straighten her neckline, and said softly, "Then what are you going to do? What do you ultimately hope to turn the situation in the Kingdom of Holm in?

"Well, there's a lot of things I don't know yet, and I can't confirm my thoughts just yet. Natasha was asked a little dazed.

Camille looked at her seriously: "Then figure it out as soon as possible, whether you are biased towards the Magic Council, the Church, or maintaining balance, you must make up your mind as soon as possible, so that many things can be arranged and avoided as soon as possible." ”

She was referring to the Principality of Waorit.

"I understand that the concept of statecraft will be determined as soon as possible, so that the decree can be issued in a planned manner to gradually eliminate the opponents, but this requires me to have a deeper understanding of the situation in the Kingdom of Holm, and the only thing that can be sure now is that the most enlightened nobles are absolutely unwilling to be completely purged of the church, and the most conservative nobles must not want to return to the state of the royal power hundreds of years ago, hehe, except for those who are completely dedicated to the church like Gordon, so I intend to maintain balance for a while. Natasha nodded in agreement.

Then, she turned to look in the mirror, looked at the purple-haired woman in the black court dress, touched the Hoffenberg family crest on her chest, and said to herself: "Before that, what needs to be clarified is my faith, what does the Lord mean in my heart, and what is the relationship between the church and the Lord?" Only when you recognize yourself can you make a plan for the future, can you rise to the eighth level, pick up the sword of truth, and no longer have the ability to resist in the face of legends, and it is difficult to see what Cardinal Salde is thinking and what he wants to get......"

She didn't tell the Grand Duke about the shaking of her faith, nor did she tell Camille, except for Lucien's knowledge, only Fernando and Hathaway could guess a little bit through the projection incident of Francis summoning Heavenly Mountain submitted by Lucian, and the same was true of Salde's matter.

"Alright, it's time for you to go to the House of Nobles. Camille opened the door to the dormitory.

Natasha glanced in the mirror again. Seeing the hesitation and sorrow hidden in the bright appearance of the purple-haired woman inside, he suddenly thought: "When I arrived in Holm and became a queen, I couldn't go to the Royal Magic Tower of Holm to visit Granny Hathaway, nor could I go to Aalto to see his unique magic tower and the Atomic Research Institute that I often mentioned, any of my actions would be interpreted by the nobles with a heart to have a deep meaning, if I did the above two things, it would undoubtedly symbolize a complete fall to the Magic Council." ”

"Nor can they pass past Lord Ketonik to see me...... The distance in space is closer, but the distance in substance is even farther away. ”

"Hopefully his new encryption algorithm will keep our communications from being cracked......"

............

In the hall of the House of Nobles, Natasha stood on the podium. Received the second worship of the nobles. Then he said succinctly:

"Now, I would like to announce two things, first, to prepare for the funeral of my grandfather and uncle. The whole country mourns for a month. During this period. Suspend all meetings of the House of Nobles, and if there is any need to issue decrees or implement policies, submit them directly to me. ”

Both the King and the Crown Prince were called by the Lord's grace. Natasha's request like this is normal, so neither Rex nor the others have an opinion.

Then, Natasha continued: "Second, in view of my lack of knowledge about the affairs of the kingdom, and based on my confidence in the decrees issued by my grandfather and uncle, for six months, I will not approve any proposal to change the current decrees, policies, and ministerial positions, unless there is an unexpected and unprecedented, and you will continue to maintain the prosperity of the kingdom as before. ”

"What?" the nobles shouted in surprise.

Rex, who was wearing a white hair cover, stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, there are many hidden problems in the current kingdom that need to be dealt with in a timely manner, will it be too extreme not to approve any proposal?"

"Before I came, the kingdom had been in a state of prosperity and tranquility by virtue of these decrees, policies, and the efforts of the ministers, and was they no longer applicable just because I came?, and in just six months they would have gone from being beneficial to very harmful," Natasha said with a straight back.

This made the nobles, who were accustomed to the aging King Feltis and the frail Prince Patrick, a little uncomfortable, and felt a strong pressure.

"No, I don't mean that, I mean they probably can't keep up with the current situation. Rex defended himself by saying that he didn't want to be judged as a slander against the former king in the conservative kingdom of Holm.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Earl of Season, breathed a sigh of relief, and his position seemed to have been retained, so he stood up and said: "Her Majesty has made it very clear that if something other than the situation happens, such as if a minister is found to be in trouble, she will certainly be replaced, but until then, the continuation of the previous decrees, policies, and personnel will help the kingdom to survive the turmoil of the two noble men who have been called by the grace of the Lord, and I approve of this proposal." ”

Although the vested interests in the past felt that they could not go further and regretted that they could not go further, their own interests were not harmed and were still acceptable, so both conservatives and enlightened people expressed their approval - how could those who could enter the House of Nobles not have vested interests?

"One more thing, I will bestow from the royal property the estates, villas, and possessions of the ten knights who have come with me, and if there are no opinions, then the meeting will be over, and preparations for the funeral will begin. Natasha looked sharply at the nobles below.

The nobles had no room to express their opinions on what to do with the property of the royal family, so they got up one after another and sent Her Majesty off the queen.

Outside, Camille took a closer look at Natasha: "Well done, the Grand Duke also told me not to let you act recklessly." ”

She believes that it is the position of the patriarch of the Violet family in the past ten years that has given Natasha a lot of exercise.

Natasha smiled and looked at the garden in front of her: "The new Xenodimensional space is rich in population and material resources, and the center of gravity of the church and the council will definitely be placed there in the near future, so, according to someone's words, I will 'calm down' first." ”

What she didn't say was that the council had another center of gravity, that is, the two great arcanists of Fernando and Hathaway would reverse the mystery of fission and fusion from legendary spell models such as the "Eternal Blazing Sun" provided by Lucien- There are many experimental phenomena that Lucien can't say, because they rely on the discovery and study of microscopic particles such as neutrons, so they are directly pushed to Etna, explaining that they are forcibly constructed by relying on the power of the silver moon and the feedback of the world, so that the two great arcanists have to devote themselves to the research of this field, of course, in the case of a magic model, this is much easier than exploring without direction.

............

In Alinge, Lucien stepped into the long-lost Atomic Research Institute.

After Fernando confirmed the existence of the atomic nucleus by bombarding the gold leaf with a stream of helium nuclear particles, and Lucian found protons by bombarding nitrogen with a stream of helium nuclear particles, and established his new alchemy system, the elemental magicians went crazy, and the magicians of other factions also went crazy, and more and more conditional arcanists began to bombard all kinds of strange things with particle streams, hoping to find something, so Lucian saw several similar instruments in the Atomic Research Institute, such as the electromagnetic cyclotron that he "invented".

"Teacher, you're here, I'm looking for you!" Katrina and Reilia said in surprise and surprise.

"What's wrong?" Lucien looked at their expressions as if it was a good thing.

Katrina's smile was as bright as a flower: "Teacher, when we were doing ultra-low temperature experiments, we found a strange phenomenon, at a certain temperature, the resistance of the metal will disappear!" (To be continued......)
