Benjamin sent a message to Miles, and quickly left the Ikor occupation area through the tunnels.

He'd already heard the news, and it was still such astonishing news, he had to hurry back to Glory and get the king ready. Miles doesn't care, nothing will happen to that guy if he stays here anyway.

And on the way back, he did observe that Ikor was showing signs of a covert retreat.

In other words, now they are only playing a show of occupation of this area, holding up a look of toughness, but they have already begun to arrange for the withdrawal of troops to try to minimize the damage. This phenomenon is undoubtedly a confirmation of the queen's death.

"Teacher Benjamin, the magic props and the team of mages from Border Desert City have arrived in Amber City, and everything is safe and ready to be put into use. ”

On the way back, Benjamin also received a message from Amber City.

At that moment, he nodded.

Thankfully, they were ready for change. Amber City's garrisons did not retreat, and they were close enough to launch a direct offensive against the occupied territory, first retaking the territory that belonged to Carretus.

As for the after...... It would depend on the situation on Ikor's side.

It is very likely that the Queen's death was planned by the Church, and of course the influence of some forces in her country cannot be ruled out. In short, no matter whose conspiracy it is, as soon as the queen dies, the king, as her own brother, actually has the right to take over Ikor territory.

- As long as they react quickly enough, and then win over influential figures in Ikor such as the president of the Mage Guild, they may really be able to win more territory without bloodshed.

Then, of course, they face a direct threat from the church.

Benjamin couldn't help but sigh that things were changing so fast that they were all a little out of tune.

It took a few hours, and that night, he was back to Glory as fast as he could. At night, Glori is brightly lit and the bustling city reflects the country's ever-changing landscape.

He went straight into the palace.

"Master Benjamin, why did you come back so quickly?, Miles?" asked the King, who had not finished his supper, as he sat down in the dining-room, in a somewhat surprised tone.

"Because the news was urgent, I rushed back first. Benjamin took a deep breath and spoke, "The Queen is dead. Ikor is still trying to hide the news, but ...... I don't think it will be long before I can hide it. ”

The king froze, and the crumbs in his mouth almost fell out.

“...... Your Majesty, pay attention to the image. ”

The king came to his senses, coughed dryly, and looked at the guards and servants around him. Fortunately, the expressions on their faces were very frightened, and they did not notice the king's gaffe just now.

"Are you sure this news is true?" he asked, motioning for the servant to close the door.

Benjamin nodded and said, "Ikol's army has begun to retreat covertly. When we entered, we didn't even see the shadow of a mage, probably...... has been buried with the queen. ”

The king put down the dishes, held his forehead, and was silent for a moment.

Seeing this, Benjamin also knew that the king needed a certain amount of time to digest the news. However, in the current situation, there is really not much time left for them.

"Your Majesty, we need to act as soon as possible. He reminded.

The king took a deep breath and nodded a little heavily.

"Inform the troops stationed in Amber City, send troops, and take back the place that belongs to me first. He spoke slowly, "Also, gather the officials in the city, and we need to discuss the next matter." ”

One of the guards departed with the king's order. The king looked up at the table full of dinner, seemed to have lost his appetite, and waved his hand for the servants to remove them all.

He stood up from his chair with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Your Majesty, please mourn and be submissive. Seeing this, Benjamin spoke again and spoke softly.

"No, I'm not sad. The king shook his head, and said, "After all these years, our brother and sister have long since become strangers, and there is no mourning to talk about." It's just that...... Of my father's three children, in the blink of an eye, I was the only one left. ”

When Benjamin heard this, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to say: "These days, Your Majesty has become a qualified king. ”

"I hope so. ”

The king sighed.

"By the way......" Benjamin seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked, "Why did the king of the empire suddenly die overnight when he was not in good health?"

The Queen's death reminded him of the split of the empire ten years ago. Didn't the king of the empire die so suddenly like the queen?

He couldn't help but wonder if the two things were related before.

"This ...... Actually, I don't know. The king looked ashamed, "On the night my father died, I was out hunting. After the incident, the entire empire was divided. Some people say that the church is a ghost, others say that it is my brother's hand, and even those who suspect me...... The empire at that time was too chaotic and suspicious of each other, and no one knew who around them could trust. ”

Benjamin couldn't help but ask, "Is there no sign at all? ”

"In this case, the mage guarding the palace detected some strange magic anomalies that night, but found nothing after tracking down. The king replied reluctantly, "Actually, that night there were only fathers, queens, Scarlett, and some servants and guards in the palace...... No one knew what had happened, the father and the queen died together in the palace dining room, the servants were gone, and Scarlett fainted nearby, and when she was rescued, the eye was no longer visible. ”

Benjamin frowned when he heard this.

It was a terrible situation......

However, judging from this description, the probability of the church committing a crime is really high. The Pope was also in abrupt retreat ten years ago, and all the signs collided together, and it was hard not to be suspicious.

The queen was probably the only witness at the time. In this regard, she has always said that the church killed the king, but she has not described in detail the scene of that night. And now, the queen is also dead, and all the secrets have been sealed in the haze of history, and no one knows about it.

In this way, the more Benjamin thought about it, the more he felt that the Queen's death was probably the work of the Church.

"Your Majesty, the officials are already waiting in the hall. ”

Within ten minutes, the guard walked into the dining room and reported.

"Got it. The king nodded, turned to Benjamin, and said, "What happened in the past...... It doesn't have to be about the present, let's go to the hall. ”

Benjamin also came to his senses and walked out with the king.
