The winter of the year 278 in the New World calendar is destined to be different. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Central Intramuros.

When the last late autumn rain fell.

Lucifer is dead.

The savior of the Federation, the future emperor of the empire, who had high hopes and was long-awaited by everyone, died on the way to the throne on the eve of his imminent accession to the throne.

He was beheaded and died in Triumph Square.

In the end, even the body could not be found.

On the same night, the President of the House of Lords of the Central Federation, the head of the House of Pompeii, and the most powerful old man in the entire Federation, Ars Pompeii, also died, in his own home, on his favorite black rock wood table.

It is said that he was so grief-stricken when he heard of his grandson's death that he died of gluttony.

Equally shocking was the fact that Ashnayo, the president of the Diamancer Guild, had been assassinated in the street that night, leaving no bones left.

In one night, three pillars of the Federation were killed in a row, putting the already declining country into a situation from which it could never recover.

And just when the whole country was grieving and shocked, and at a loss, someone stood up.

The current head of the Lancaster family, the former imperial ****, Charles Lancaster, ascended the throne in the main hall of the old royal palace during the imperial era in the early morning of the next day, and announced the restoration of the imperial system.

The throne, which was supposed to be taken by Lucifer, was occupied by an insignificant man.

This should have been an extremely angry and unwilling thing.

But everything happened so suddenly, and many people are still immersed in this nightmarish reality.

Coupled with the series of events that followed, people's attention was completely diverted.

First of all, Charles produced an affidavit signed and stamped by Lucifer, which showed Lucifer's willingness to assist Charles in his ascension to the throne and help him govern the empire.

Charles said that he would carry on Lucifer's legacy and lead the empire to a glorious future.

On the one hand, this affidavit was made public so that all people could see its contents.

Indeed, Lucifer's handwriting, stamping, and final signature are impeccable, and there is no possibility of forgery.

This has reduced the legitimacy of Charles's accession to the throne, and the resistance it has received.

Even if most sober people realize that this is actually a coup d'état, there is no way to argue with it.

Lucifer, who was the most favored and admired by people before, was willing to support Charles as emperor.

What else could anyone else think?

And even if there is still an opinion, it will immediately be attracted by Charles's throwing another bombshell.

The person who killed Lucifer was Su Junyan.

Su Junyan's past resume and his life experience have all been revealed.

He is not only a disciple of the Demon King Caesar, but the even more shocking news is that he is the son of Su Mubai, the Northern King.

All kinds of evidence have verified from all sides that Su Junyan's father, Su Mubai, who once served as a lower-level official in Tongmu City, is Su Mubai, the king of the Northern Kingdom, who was once the strongest demon seed in the world.

And Su Junyan's later series of actions were also charged with the United Demon Seed and subverting the Federation.

For example, through various ways to get close to the high-ranking figures of the Federation, even the bewildered Olivia fell in love with him, so that he could better infiltrate the Central Castle.

Another example is the joint demon seed to assassinate the former military general Hai Chris.

This time he murdered Lucifer, which was his last resort, to destroy the hope of mankind once and for all.

According to rumors, he had fled to the North, taking with him the bones of Lucifer.

The mood of the populace was thoroughly stirred up, and they completely forgot about the usurper Charles on the throne.

It's just that in Charles's shouting, he vowed to kill the demon seed and take Su Junyan's head back and place it in the Central Royal City to pay tribute to Lucifer's spirit in the sky.

"So, the people will always be the best flock to use and deceive, and if you tease them a little, they will go in the direction of your fingers, even if it is the abyss. Winnington stood in the renovated palace hall that had been renovated in the shortest possible time, looked at the emperor on the throne, and said with a smile.

"En......" Charles sat on the emperor's throne that had just been removed from the museum, and felt that everything was still a little unreal.

He actually, really, became an emperor?

Those ancestors of the Lancaster family, the grand ambition that had not been completed for hundreds of years, was actually realized in his hands?

He felt like he was dreaming.

But everything is so real.

The slightly cold hard seat under his buttocks.

He had a heavy crown on his head and a delicate scepter at hand.

and the huge sense of control and overlook when I stood on the high platform a few days ago and looked at the fanatical and complicated eyes of the people in the audience.

are silently telling him that he is really the emperor.

Absolutely true.

However, there was one thing he felt very dissatisfied with.

Winnington didn't look at him with respectful eyes, but raised his head high, as if looking at a puppet.

Is he laughing at me?

Charles's heart suddenly became a little angry, he really wanted to make this bold courtier kneel.

But this anger only lasted for a second, and he hid his emotions well.

He is not yet qualified to be angry, nor is he qualified to make the person in front of him kneel.

He is now a chess piece, a delicate, shiny, and beautiful-looking chess piece.

Actually, he's nothing.

"Lucifer's corpse...... Not yet...... Did you find it?" said Charles, thinking for a moment, and asked the answer to a question he was eager to know.

Seriously, if he doesn't see the body of the man who shines as bright as the sun, he won't have peace for a day.

I believe Winnington is the same.

"Nope. Winnington shook his head.

There's a lot going on in Central Intracity these days.

Including those magnificent, but also those hidden events like underground rivers.

For example, Lucifer's body is gone, and no one knows where it went.

Although the external statement is that he was taken away by Su Junyan, in fact, Wen Nington knows that it is not.

On that chaotic rainy night, when people came back to their senses, Lucifer's body was gone.

Is he still alive?

Winnington frowned slightly.

What's more, the people of the Mai Bachelor Regiment snatched Olivia into the astrological library and opened the final defense.

It's hard for outsiders to get in.

However, relatively speaking, this is really too small to be a small thing.

For him, who has just succeeded as the general of the military department, there are other more important things waiting for him to do.
