Since when has this empire been ...... How strange has it become?

Empress Pars waved Vito away, and stood alone by the window, looking out at the summer greenery of the window, and began to think.

Only then did she realize that this empire had become a kingdom that she was almost unrecognizable. The once harmonious political circle of the empire disappeared, and the contradictions between the royal family and the aristocratic class became more and more acute until they reached an irreparable situation, and a civil war broke out as a result. Although the reforms of the Imperial Diet unleashed the power firmly held in the hands of the nobility, she did not make any decisions in the Diet, and still had to consult with a large group of nobles and some commoners.

The emergence of parties has indeed given the royalists a standard, a great and visible goal, and it has also made everyone more united and centripetal. But in the same way, the enemies have become more numerous and more terrifying.

What the hell is wrong with this country and why is it becoming like this?

In Pars's chaotic memories, in all the key places, there is a figure looming - Wren.

She slammed her fist into the wall, leaving three faint trails of blood.

It's all Wren's ghost, but it's a pity that she woke up a little late.

Still too complacent, too proud!

She sighed and thought of Ganwen, who had warned her more than once that she must not be lax in any way with Wren, who was definitely the biggest cancer in the Orlando Empire.

At that time, she was still immersed in the power of becoming an emperor, holding heavy power, and being able to manipulate the joys and sorrows of life and death of others, and she once thought that even if Wren was really as terrible as Gan Wen said, she could play Wren on the applause, and let him obediently cooperate with herself and govern the country properly. She thought that under her leadership, the Orlando family and the empire that belonged to their family would reach a higher level.

She will vigorously develop the overall strength of the country, sweep the entire desert in ten years, and let the Great Chief of the Full Moon come to the imperial capital to dance and sing for her, and become a clown-like courtier. Then she would let go of the Weimar corridor, defeat Byron, capture Emperor Byron alive, and make him and the Great Chief of the Full Moon a pair of good buddies who would come to please herself every day. She will become the first empress of the ages, completing the career that all emperors have dreamed of accomplishing.

Her name will be remembered by history like the stars in the night, and she will become a sage that cannot be surpassed, and she will also become an emperor in history. Maybe the newcomers will denounce her cruelty, and maybe they will sing praises for her, but no one can erase the role she played in history and the deeds she has done.

All of this was ruined by Wren.

From the first day she was seduced by Rennes, when she wanted to grasp more power, and thus the contradictions with the aristocratic group began to intensify, she was already led by Rennes by the nose and embarked on a road of no return.

Why did Wren secretly unite so many nobles?

He didn't have to think to know the exact answer, he wanted to usurp the throne. Having unified the aristocracy and having great prestige and fame among the people, he simply did everything that needed to be done. At this time, looking back at Wren's crazy troubles in the past few years, almost every step is in his calculations. Everyone is a pawn in his hand, an obedient pawn, at his mercy on the chessboard.

On the other hand, no matter who she is, she is full of malice and distrust, and those disobedient pawns simply do not obey her will, how can she defeat Wren?

In fact, from the moment the two of them sat down on either side of the board, she had already lost.

A long sigh full of remorse slowly dispersed like a breeze. Empress Pars called out a shadow, and there was a sudden movement in the shadowy corner of the study with its back to the sun, and a black shadow swam out of the shadow on the ground like a stream of water, forming a shadow as black as ink. A man slowly struggled out of the shadows.

He bent down and lowered his head, his expression respectful and serious, "Your Majesty, please command." ”

Empress Pars hesitated for a long time, but finally made a decision.

"Look for an opportunity to send the Marquis of Rennes on his way. After she gritted her teeth and said this, she seemed to have all the strength of her body quietly slipped away, and she supported the windowsill with both hands, not allowing herself to show her ugly appearance.

When the man who had crawled out of the shadows saluted again, the whole person suddenly splattered and scattered as if it had turned into ink. A black shadow the size of a finger on the ground disappeared into the palace with great speed.

This is one of the killer tools of the Queen of Pars, and it is also a means that can only be used when there is no way to do it. The Shadow Warrior Assassin Syndicate existed as early as the founding of Emperor Orlando I. They were an evil organization then, though they are pretty much the same now. They make their fortune by hunting other living people or whatever. The more dangerous the job, the higher the payoff, and the more benefits you get.

Compared to their counterparts, the Black Priests, the Shadow Warriors are obviously more professional and more unguardable, and this race cursed by the Father has turned all its weaknesses into advantages under the constant changes in the world. In this era when the church is not visible and the holy light is rarely seen, as long as you contact the shadow warrior, it almost means that the person you hate is dead.

When the Shadow Warrior participated in the Holy Empire's assassination of Orlando I, and after several unsuccessful assassinations, the Shadow Warrior decided that this mission would not be completed, Emperor Orlando I was very decisive and reached a series of cooperation with the Shadow Warrior who came to assassinate him, including the assassination "successful" scene, which was used to deceive the Holy Empire's only remaining combat power. Needless to say, the final result is history.

The Shadow Warriors, on the other hand, entered the court with dignity and became loyal servants of the royal family of Orlando—they had a prerequisite for suppressing the Church.

The presence of the Church, especially the crosses that have been soaked in holy water and blessed by archbishops or cardinals, is the nemesis of the Shadow Warriors. Wherever the light touches, it will quickly festering and dying. During the Holy Empire, such crosses were found almost everywhere.

Feeling the calm in the study again, Empress Pars's heart sank vigorously.

She wasn't sure if she was right or wrong, but she knew that she would have to face the consequences for her actions, whether they succeeded or not.

It may take years, decades, or decades, to heal the aftermath of this assassination.
