"Are you crazy! do you know what you're talking about?" exclaimed Empress Anna, who could bear other accusations to her more or less, but she could not bear such groundless suspicions, even if Alexander was angry.

Alexander was also stunned when he said that, as if even he himself realized the gaffe. However, his face-saving temperament began to play a role again, and even though he knew that it was complete nonsense, he was unwilling to admit that he was wrong, especially on this occasion.

"Does the Emperor still lie?" he said forcefully.

"Which emperor didn't ascend to the throne from thousands of lies!" Empress Anna didn't care about anything at this time, and retorted hysterically, "Don't think that you can do whatever you want when you become an emperor, you should see it, you still have to be constrained by those ministers outside, even if you become an emperor, you are still a human being!"

Alexander's face was blue for a while, and his wife's words completely pierced his heart, poking at his pain point, and the only bit of guilt in his heart disappeared, replaced by full of anger.

The palm of her hand was raised and hit his wife's face mercilessly, and Queen Anna seemed to have expected this, she did not dodge or dodge, and let her husband's slap hit her face, but her eyes were staring at Alexander, and the gaze in that eye made Alexander a little afraid.

"You, you!" Alexander's breathing was very short, he couldn't even speak smoothly, the whole person was angry and afraid, and his face was even more ugly, as if he had lost face, "Do you know your identity! You are the empress, how can you question the sanctity of the emperor and the empire, only by being extraordinary, can we rule this empire forever, stand above all the people, no one can restrain the emperor, the emperor can do whatever he wants!"

"You don't even believe it. Queen Anna looked at her husband, and her eyes suddenly became tired, this is her husband, who used to be polite and personable, but now he is tormented by the lust of power.

The queen walked up to Caterina and gently rubbed her daughter's beaten face.

"You are Karin's father, can't you, as a father, hear clearly which words of your daughter are angry and which are true? Wake up and recognize the reality! You are different from your father, you are born without the talent and kingly spirit of him, and you imitate him so vigorously that now you have forgotten what you are like!"

Alexander's face trembled, he was angry, but he couldn't even say a word of rebuttal, because every word of his wife was what was in his heart.

"When you were a child, your father was too harsh on you and left you with very bad memories, so now that you are the emperor, you also harshly criticize your own daughter, she just made a little mistake and you have to punish her severely. Is it worth it? Passing on such memories from generation to generation, can a strict education ensure that the Giang family will always have a wise ruler and that the family's rule will be eternal for all generations?"

As she spoke, Queen Anna laughed sarcastically. "Come on, your father's education method is wrong, just look at the way you look now. ”

"That's enough!" Alexander, unable to bear it any longer, interrupted his wife with a loud yell, "you know what! Our family of Gion has been able to rule the empire to this day, but it is not because of a spoiled child like you. You say Karin just made a little mistake, and if that's called a 'little mistake,' what's there to be punished?"

He stepped forward, pushed his wife away brutally, and reached out to grab Katerina. And Empress Anna, of course, would not let her husband do this, she knew that there was a great resentment in Alexander's heart that needed to be vented, and this twisted anger was likely to cause great harm to her daughter.

The queen held her husband's arm tightly and tried to push him away from her daughter, while Alexander tried to pull his wife away from him, and the two supreme men of the empire tore apart like the most ordinary couple.

Caterina looked at her parents who were entangled together, and felt even more sad and gloomy in her heart, although Alexander's temper became more and more irritable during this time, and he had completely lost his kindness to his family, but it was the first time that Caterina had seen such an unreasonable and even vulgar appearance as now.

"You let me go!" Looking at his wife, who was desperately pulling his arm, Alexander was furious, and smashed his fist against Queen Anna's body, "Let go, shrew!"

"Enough!" Caterina couldn't stand it anymore, she couldn't tolerate her silence any longer, "It's my business, you shouldn't beat your mother like this!"

"Don't be self-righteous here, what are you, I'll teach you a lesson later!" Alexander was still pestering his wife, who had shifted his goal from teaching his daughter to dealing with her, and his excessive anger made him forget his restraint and his original purpose.

Watching her mother being beaten by her father, Caterina gritted her teeth, then suddenly ran to the dresser and took out the pistol she had just put away.

"Let go, let go of Mother!" she exclaimed, "this is a warning, don't think I don't dare shoot!"

Seeing his daughter raise his gun against him, Alexander became even more angry, and the force in his hand became greater and more unscrupulous, like a mad rhinoceros frantically rushing at everything in sight.

"Well, you still show your prototype in the end! I know that you have been looking down on me, and you have been like this since the beginning, because your grandfather favored you, so you didn't even pay attention to me as a father, just like the last time you had dinner, relying on your grandfather's support, you dared to ignore my words, what, do you think it is still the time of His Majesty Nicholas I? Tell you, now there is no one to support you! Be honest, a daughter should have the appearance of a daughter, and it is enough to listen to her father honestly! Whoever I tell you to marry, you have to marry, and I tell you not to see whomever you can't. Don't forget, who brought you the scenery in front of outsiders, it was me! I gave birth to you, it was I who gave you the blood of Jiao, that's why you are today, that's why you can live, and you live so nourishingly, you are not qualified to disobey me!"

Katerina's face was pale, and Alexander's words made it difficult for her to even breathe, and she never imagined that her father would see her like this.

Seeing that Caterina still hadn't put down her gun, Alexander turned his head and shouted out the door, "Guard!"

"You're enough!" "Enough of you!" Empress Anna grabbed Alexander's sleeve and threw him to the ground, "What do you tell the guards to do?

"Isn't it okay?" Alexander also glared at his wife, because they had already fallen to the ground, he simply kicked Empress Anna with his foot, trying to kick her away, "She pointed a gun at the emperor, this alone is enough for her to spend the rest of her life in prison!"

Empress Anna was kicked in the face by her husband's boots, and blood was running all over her nose, but by this time she had completely ignored it and glared at Alexander not to be outdone.

"That's a pity, the Ministry of the Interior is finished, you don't have a prison to hold a Gyan. ”

"I'm fed up with you woman!" Alexander, who had lost the patience to continue pestering his wife, tried to pounce on Katarina, but was pulled by her wife, and he only grabbed his daughter's foot and brought Catalina down.

Caterina, who lost her balance and fell to the ground, didn't even hold her pistol steady, and dropped the gun in front of Alexander.

Without hesitation, the Emperor picked up the gun.

Seeing her husband with a gun in his hand, Queen Anna rushed over as if she was crazy, and shouted to Caterina at the same time: "Karin, run, this guy is really going to shoot, hide!"

"Shut up!" Alexander's hand slammed into the Empress's forehead, causing the already exhausted Empress Anna to faint for a moment, and at this moment, Alexander broke free of her entanglement, stood up, and pointed the pistol at his daughter.

"When you point a gun at the emperor, you should be conscious of being pointed at the emperor with a gun. ”

"I've never heard of this," said Caterina, who was half-leaning on the edge of the bed, unable to get up in time, without fear of her father's gun, for she had already experienced more than one more terrible scene, "if you want the historian to record this as your famous saying, you should first find a historian." ”

"I just hate your sharp mouth!" Alexander raised his free hand and gestured to strike.

And Queen Anna pounced on him even again.

"How many times are you going to come!" Facing his wife with a blue nose and swollen face and a bloody face, the pressure mountain was greatly shocked and angry, "If you do this again, I will clean you up together!"

"Whatever you're going to do!" said Queen Anna, trying to grab her husband's gun, "who else you don't want to clean up now?

Seeing that Alexander was restrained by his mother, Caterina also took advantage of the situation to pounce and snatch the gun from her father's hand.

"You ......" The pistol was pulled outward by the strength of two people, and even if Alexander's strength was great, he could hardly hold it, "Rebellion!"

"Bang"

The sudden gunshot made all three of them stunned.

Maybe it was a misfire, maybe Alexander really shot in a fit of rage, but it doesn't matter what the reason is.

Because the bullets have already been fired.

"No!"

Queen Anna watched her daughter cry out in a daze, and then hugged her tightly.

"What's the matter, Karin, why are you ......" The queen subconsciously stretched out her hand, wanting to touch her daughter's face, but suddenly found that her arm had no strength at all, and she couldn't even complete a simple action like raising her hand.

"Crying ......"

It was only then that the pain came to her mind, and Queen Anna lowered her pale, blood-stained face, and looked at her abdomen, blood pouring out of the bullet holes, and in a few moments the carpet beneath her was already stained crimson.

She was shot, and she was hit in the vital part by her husband's bullet, either unintentionally or intentionally.

The embarrassed queen looked unusually calm, and after understanding that she had been shot, her first reaction was to go to see her husband.

Alexander's face was full of panic, his eyes were blankly looking at the bullet hole in his wife's abdomen, the pistol had already been thrown aside by him, at this moment, he did not look like an emperor at all, he was like a helpless child.

"It's like, it's like when you proposed to me, it's the same ......"

Queen Anna slowly closed her eyes, and the darkness and emptiness gradually took away her consciousness.

"The same cute ......"

The queen fell into Caterina's arms.

It was all dead silence, not a single sound.

Princess Celestia's mind went blank as she looked at her mother, who had collapsed in her arms and was no longer breathing.

Maybe it's because she's seen too much death during this time, or maybe it's because the magician has given her the illusion that death is unreal, but she still doesn't feel like her mother is dead like this.

The world seems to have become a monotonous space with only black and white, and in this space, the only color that does not belong to black and white is the crimson of my mother and myself.

A crimson from blood.

"Father. ”

It was a long time before Caterina turned her gaze away from her mother's bruised, swollen and bloodied face and turned to Alexander.

"You killed your mother. ”

Me, kill Anna?

This concept first appeared in Alexander's mind, and until Caterina was born, Alexander's consciousness was still stuck in the moment before the gunshot, as if the impact of that moment had halted his thinking.

I...... Kill Anna?

Killed my wife?

Guilt and fear began to pour wildly into Alexander's heart.

He couldn't bear that burden anymore.

He screamed.
