Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Throne Changes Hands
The royal city of the Kingdom of Γ land.
The old king trembled and picked up the sword that Encore the Great threw on the ground, although he was the king of a country, but Encore the Great represented the Senate, which was the authority that ruled over the kings of the nations, and every general in the Senate was above the kings.
He also knew that even if he rebelled against the will of Emperor Encore at this moment, the outcome would not change, and it might even bring unbearable disasters to them. Although Prince Dima is strong, he is as small as a drop in the ocean compared to the power of the Senate.
"Don't go. β
This time, Judith took the lead in pressing Lin Qiu's shoulder, in addition to the unfathomable strength of Emperor Encore himself, these black-armored knights he brought were not idle, and they were very different from Dima's soldiers, especially that commander, whose strength was probably to stabilize her and Stien.
It can be said that the entire eastern territory was taken down by Emperor Encore from the hands of monsters, and he said nothing about this land. In fact, after they made a big fuss here, it was a fluke that Emperor Encore directly let them go, Judith lowered her voice and told again: "Don't look back, act as if nothing happened." β
Between the previous conflict with Prince Dima, she really couldn't rest assured about Lin Qiu.
As he spoke, the old king drew his sword and pointed it at his throat hesitantly.
"Stop!"
In an instant, a petite figure stood between the two. I saw Angel suddenly break free of Zero's arm out of nowhere, and rushed to the old king with open arms: "Who are you, why are you doing this?"
A strange color crossed Emperor Encore's eyes, he didn't feel the fluctuation of the scoring power in Angel's body, this little girl actually resisted his pressure with willpower alone. Immediately after, he saw the pale yellow mark on the back of Angel's hand, and the curiosity in his eyes was a little stronger.
There is no marking power, but it has an engraving, which is an extremely rare phenomenon in all of Holutiah.
"My lord, she is the daughter of the current king, Princess Angel. β
"Angel ......"
Emperor Encore groaned, he had heard the name of this princess mentioned before, but at that time there was news from his subordinates that the princess and princess who had fled from the kingdom of Oland to the imperial capital had been intercepted and killed, and the princess was killed, and the princess was rescued by the knights who passed by. He never remembered such an insignificant matter, and this dispatch was only because of the turmoil in the foundations of the east.
In fact, it didn't matter to the Senate a bloodthirsty prince or Dagu, the dragon of the earth, and the Senate helped him a lot when Dima was rising. What he had just said was only a reason for the execution of the old king, and he could come up with an infinite number of reasons like this.
For what really mattered was that he could not allow a man who had received the favor of the knights of the Church to remain in control of the kingdom - it was the result of the mutual agreement of the Senate. In other words, before he left, several generals had already decided the life and death of the old king. Even if they are the kings of a country, they can decide each other's fate with a short meeting.
"Zero!" the old king said secretly when he saw Angel rushing out.
He had already instructed Zero in advance not to let Princess Angel leak his face no matter what happened.
Zero was about to rush to take Princess Angel away, but in an instant, the commander of Encore the Great understood her intentions, and before she could take a step, the commander blocked in front of her: "Stand down." β
"Little girl, where did the mark on the back of your hand come from?" asked Emperor Encore.
"I won't tell you!" Angel said in a huff.
In her opinion, Emperor Encore wanted to kill her father, and she deserved to be classified as a bad person. And when dealing with bad people, she never gives them any good looks.
"Do you know who I am?" said Emperor Encore frowned, his expression unfurnished.
"I don't know!" Angel replied decisively.
"Your Majesty Encore, Angel, this child has grown up in the imperial capital since childhood, please forgive her for her unintentional mistakes!" The old king couldn't care so much at the moment, and he hurriedly begged for mercy for Angel. He knew that none of the people who had angered Encore the Great could die well.
"Father, why are you afraid of him? Aren't you the king?"
"King?" said Encore, amused by Angel's words, "Your so-called king is nothing more than a tool used by the Senate to maintain the balance of the nations, and the throne in the east will change hands at any time as long as I want." β
"Blow...... Bragging!"
"Don't you believe it?" said to the black-armored knights behind him, and the two knights bypassed Angel left and right, and they set up the old king, who had no power to resist, and dragged him onto the main ship. No matter what Angel kicked and pulled, the two knights didn't move, and when Angel tried to catch up, Encore the Great reached out his index finger and pointed it at Angel's head, so that her feet could not take another step forward.
Lin Qiu's hand holding the sword let go.
Encore the Great had countless opportunities to execute the old king in front of Angel, but he didn't do so, and his commander only blocked Zero...... This indisputable first emperor, but because of Angel's appearance, he temporarily changed his mind? In addition to being relieved, Lin Qiu also looked at the pale yellow lines on the back of Angel's hand again.
After all this time, they still hadn't figured out what was going on, and based on Angel's performance in rescuing Zero in prison, he felt that the mark was definitely not badly rated.
An engraving that even Ophelia didn't understand......
"Let go of me, you bad old man!" Angel kicked and kicked, and her voice took on a hint of crying.
The backs of the two black-armored knights disappeared into the main ship, and with a slight force in the Angel Emperor's index finger, Angel was ejected by him several steps and fell to the ground.
He stared at Angel's tearful eyes and said solemnly, "You, from today onwards, are the new king of the Ollander Kingdom. β
This sudden decision made Lin Qiu and the others stunned.
"I don't want to be king, give my father back!" Angel struggled to his feet.
Emperor Encore ignored her, and he signaled like a few black-armored knights, and more than a dozen people lined up, and they came to Angel and bowed their heads respectfully.
"These people are the elite of the Senate, and from now on, they are all your subordinates. You have a year, and in that year you need to accomplish three things - rebuilding the royal capital, bringing Dima alive to me, and...... Take the power on the back of your hand, and when you have done all three, I will send your father back alive, and if you fail to complete any of them, not only will you never see this waste again, but the throne of Ollander will change hands again. β
"And. β
At the end, Emperor Enke suddenly thought of something, and he looked at Lin Qiu and the others who had not gone far yet.
- "During this period, it is not allowed to resort to the power of the Church. β
