Chapter 151: Coercion
"Lord, the guards in the palace have been suppressed, and I killed the few who resisted......" A fat general, wearing a golden helmet and armor, walked into the council chamber, and this fat man was the current commander of the French army, Auston.
"Well done, General Auston, you've done a great job this time. Auxiliary Minister nodded.
"Lord Claude. Auston saluted a dark-haired man standing beside. "General Auston, Lord has a high opinion of you, and you will be duly rewarded for your loyalty. Meng Fan said with a smile.
Auston, the commander of the French army in front of Meng Fan, was a descendant of a declining aristocrat in Bibo City, Auston's father had the title of viscount, but due to business failure, Auston's father lost all his wealth and finally died of depression.
Auston was tactful in the Praetorian Guard and good at sloping horses, but as a result, Auston was quickly promoted to one of the four deputy commanders of the Praetorian Guard.
Half a year ago, Meng Fan led the army into Bibo City, Meng Fan ordered the execution of the commander of the royal guard, Bilton, and a group of ministers and generals loyal to King Pavarot III of France.
Soon after, Meng Fan put the youngest prince, Feron, on the throne, and after Feron ascended the throne,, who had already served as an auxiliary minister, appointed Auston as the commander of the French army.
Auston stubbornly followed the auxiliary minister, who single-handedly promoted him, and Auston knew that if lost power, then he would also be removed from the post of commander of the French army, and he might also be imprisoned.
"It's an honor to work for Master Claude. Auston bowed to Meng Fan with a flattering face, a person like Auston who was good at observing words and emotions had long known that Meng Fan was the object of his true loyalty.
"Hehe,, the commander of the French army you appointed is really a man of understanding. When Auston left the council chamber, Meng Fan smiled and said to the auxiliary minister beside him.
"Lord Claude, although Auston is obedient, he has not much talent. replied.
"Chatter, a puppet, what's the use of having talent, as long as he obediently does what we have to do, that's fine. Mar Saha, who was standing behind Meng Fan, spoke.
", hasn't Nya brought it with you yet?" asked Meng Fan as he looked at a stone pillar in the council chamber on which a blonde man was tied.
"Lord Claude, I have already sent someone to invite Her Royal Highness, I should be about to ......" Before could finish speaking, several soldiers dragged a blue-haired woman into the council chamber, and this blue-haired woman who did not want to go forward was none other than the mother of King Faeron of France, Queen Mother Naya.
When Naya was pulled into the council hall by the soldiers and saw Meng Fan standing in the council hall, her legs were weak, and Naya almost fell to the ground.
The soldiers put Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother in front of Meng Fan, and Naiya, who was kneeling on the ground, kept trembling, and tears fell.
waved his hand at the soldiers, and several of them left the council chamber. Staring at the blue-haired woman kneeling in front of her, ", Mar Saha, let me be alone with her for a while." Meng Fan said.
"Yes, Lord Claude. left after saluting, standing in front of the Queen Mother Naiya, Meng Fan silently looked at the blue-haired woman who was kneeling on the ground and crying.
The well-cut purple brocade robe, the sapphire pendant worn on the chest, and the graceful and luxuriously dressed Neya with her hair scattered, must have been removed from the hairpin on her head when the soldiers forcibly dragged it.
Walking in front of the blue-haired woman, Meng Fan half-squatted down, gently reached out and lifted the blue hair next to Naia's face, Naia's body shrank back, and her beautiful amber eyes were full of panic and fear.
"Naia, why did you betray me?" Meng Fan pressed the blue-haired woman's neck with his left hand and forced the other party to look at him.
"Mistress Claude......" Naia's slender and delicate body trembled and wept silently.
"I've only been away for half a year, and you're getting along with other men. Meng Fan stood up and paced back and forth in front of the blue-haired woman for a few steps.
"Naia, you have lost your husband at a young age, and I can understand the emptiness and loneliness of a woman in the palace. Meng Fan whispered softly, "I can forgive you for messing with other men, you are not my wife, and you have no obligation to be loyal to me, not to mention...... Your lover is such a charming knight. Meng Fan reached out and grabbed the woman's hair and roughly dragged Neya to a stone pillar.
Tied to the stone pillar of the council chamber was a blonde man, Javier, the captain of the royal guard, whose limbs had all been severed by a hammer, his eyes showing two bloody holes, and a rag stuffed in his mouth. Javier, whose eyes had been gouged out and his limbs broken, was already angry.
Looking at Javier in horror, Naia turned around and hugged Meng Fan's legs, "Lord Claude, please forgive me, please forgive me, I will listen to you, I ...... I will never betray you again......" Neya hugged Meng Fan's leg and cried bitterly.
"Naia, it was I who put your child on the throne, without me, how could you and your child have today's status, just because of such a man's instigation and bewitchment, you think that if you can get rid of me, you can become the real ruler of Bibo City?" Meng Fan looked at the woman who hugged his thigh and pleaded, and said coldly.
"Lord Claude, I beg you to be magnanimous...... Forgive me......" Nya pleaded with her head in a pitiful look.
Looking at the blue-haired woman with tears on her face beneath her, Meng Fan took out a dagger from her waist and threw it on the ground. "Pick up this dagger and stick it in the man's chest, I ...... Consider forgiving you. Meng Fan said.
Looking at the dagger lying on the ground, Neya was stunned.
"What's the matter? I am reluctant to kill your lover? If you want to die with him, I will satisfy you," Meng Fan said coldly.
Letting go of Meng Fan's legs, Neya leaned over and picked up the dagger, and crawled to Javier's side, Neya looked at the silver dagger in her hand blankly, the blonde man who was tied to the stone pillar was already on the verge of death, and he couldn't even move his body.
Raising the dagger in her hand, Nya closed her eyes and plunged the dagger into Javier's chest with force.
With a flick of his head, the blonde man in front of Neya died. Releasing the dagger, Neya flinched back in panic.
Hugging Nya from behind, Meng Fan helped the blue-haired woman up.
"Mistress Claude, I ...... I killed him. Nya's hands trembled, and she turned around in uncertainty and muttered in a low voice.
"Hmm. Meng Fan stretched out his hand and gently touched Naiya's beautiful face, smiled and nodded.
"Lord Claude, can you forgive me?" Nya asked in a trembling voice as she took Meng Fan's hand and looked at the black-haired man in front of her.
