Immediately, heavily armed soldiers stepped forward and restrained the man.

Now in this scene, with Duke Lyme here, whether he wants to protect people or not, he has to protect this situation now, otherwise the nobles will be cold to him.

It does not hurt the dignity of the Empress and at the same time allows the Empress to calm her anger...... As for how to protect it, that's a science.

Duke Lyme can still be a noble leader for so long, he must have his own way of survival, he glanced at the soldier, the soldier hesitated when he saw this, and he didn't dare to drag the person down for the first time.

"Your Majesty, you are discouraged. ”

"We don't mean to deny your new decree, I'm sure you won't be able to accept it for a while......

"I hope you can give everyone a time to prepare their minds, why don't we solve the problem of the Marlow plague first, what do you think?"

After going around in a big circle, I finally got back to Marlowe's problem.

Lem is well versed in the way of kings and ministers, and one of the essentials of cunning is to change the subject.

He personally picked up the scepter that Horn had smashed on the ground and returned it to her.

The solid gold scepter, which symbolizes the supremacy of the Sikaya Empire, shone with a dark crimson light because of the red bricks under the hall of the Red Tower.

The scepter froze in the air, and at the other end was Lem's hand.

Horn didn't answer.

She half-squinted her green eyes and glanced at the disrespectful man who was being held by the soldiers, then withdrew her gaze and looked at Lem with a smiling expression.

Duke Lyme smiled, looking back at her.

A silent battle without gunpowder has begun......

Quiescence.

None of the nobles below dared to speak, and their eyes were staring at the two of the highest in Nasikkaya.

Many people secretly swallowed their saliva, some expecting and some afraid that Duke Lyme would fight with Her Majesty the new Empress.

......

Lem had been holding the scepter for a long time, and the scepter made of pure gold was as heavy as owning it, and at the same time carrying all the weight of the Sikaya Empire.

Glory, power, responsibility......

The two stared at each other, Lem kept smiling, and at the moment he felt that his face was already a little stiff, but Horn still had a smile on his face, and his green eyes were gloomy, and he didn't know what she was thinking.

The hand holding the scepter had begun to tremble slightly......

Heavy......

It's too heavy......

It seems that the next second it will be unable to hold it and fall to the ground.

Horn can throw it if she is upset, because she is royalty, and this is hers in the first place.

But he couldn't.

This represents the supremacy of the Sikaya Empire, and once he falls to the ground through his hand, he is contemptuous of the monarch and provokes the imperial authority.

Those noble children who participated in the Jace Ball could be slandered as collaborating with the enemy and treason, and with Horn's character of buttoning his hat indiscriminately, he would never be let go......

A drop of cold sweat slipped silently from the corner of Lime's forehead and quickly sank into his hair.

He had some regrets that he shouldn't have come forward in the first place.

The new official took office three times, but in the past, no matter who gave him Duke Lyme three points of face, he would not offend him too much.

But this empress ...... Not ordinary people.

Instead of giving him face...... And embarrass him!

At this moment, he came out and gave her a perfect opportunity to put pressure!

Damn it......!

The right hand holding the scepter is sore, and it must not be allowed to fall!

Lem was heartbroken, and decided that he couldn't hold it anymore and would rather change hands, even if he was ridiculed, he couldn't be caught by Horn again!

Horn suddenly smiled, approached him, and said in a very low voice that could only be heard by the two of them, "Duke of Lyme...... How does it feel to hold the supreme power of the Sikaya Empire? You are so tired and you still don't let go, do you love it......"

She sighed softly:

"It's really hard to do. ”

Lem finally couldn't hold it anymore, he changed his left hand and raised the scepter, he gritted his teeth silently, and he couldn't wait to jump up and smash the scepter in Horn's face!

In the past, Moore VIII favored him, and the nobles all respected him...... He had never suffered such humiliation!

Now Horn not only let him hold up the scepter for so long, but also took a bite and said that he was covetous!

Lem was so angry that he vomited blood.

But on the surface, he showed a respectful look and denied: "Your Majesty, I swear to God, I definitely don't have that kind of mind...... Please, don't misunderstand me!"

Horn immediately took the scepter, and she grinned, "Dear Duke Lyme...... I'll tell you a secret: I was joking. ”

Lem: "......"****!(expletive)

After a slap, you have to give a sweet date.

Horn accepted it when he saw it: "Since Duke Lyme has interceded for him, then I will be merciful and let him go-"

"1000 gold coins. ”

Nobles: "?!!"

(Expletive)

What a hateful vampire, and it's a naked robbery while it's hot!

Seeing this, Horn raised his eyebrows: "Hmm......?"

The person who was escorted had already been stupid when Horn hit Lyme, and at this moment he only felt the fear of the rest of his life, and he panicked and said, "Give ...... Your Majesty! I'll give!

Scold...... That's pretty much it.

Enwei and cast, and the nobles were all silent.

They don't want the new decree to be enacted, and they don't want to be the first bird again.

In the serious and tense atmosphere, Horn didn't feel embarrassed at all, and she said slowly: "Come on...... Marlowe, the plague, continues. ”

Seeing that no one spoke, Syvein stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Dr. Wuheng already knows what to do with the Malo plague, and I think we must send him." ”

Horn nodded, and asked the nobles slowly and deliberately: "The city lord of Marlowe, who is deeply trusted by His Majesty Moore VIII, does not have Dr. Wuheng, refinement, generalization, medicine, and technique, right?"

Everyone was ashamed.

"Your Majesty, no. ”

"Hmm...... Then the matter was decided. ”

Everyone: "???"

Ha?

What was decided?!

Old George, who managed the finances of the imperial capital, touched his ears, and saw that the others were also confused, and after confirming that he had not missed it, he asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... I'm old and my ears are not good, you say again, what have you decided?"

Horn glanced at him and said kindly, "I decided to go to Marlowe with Dr. Wuheng." ”

"As an empress, it is necessary for me to experience the suffering of the people for myself. "By the way, it will increase the hearts of the people.

After hearing this, the nobles had only one thought in their hearts at this moment:

Marlow City Lord, Danger.

At the same time, it also represents the determination and strength of the empress who does not want to let go of power.

"Oh, that's right. ”

Horn gently stroked the scepter in his hand and continued: "Marlowe's situation is complicated, and it has not been resolved for so long, and the matter must be difficult to handle. ”

"If I solve it perfectly, then - the new order, from the moment I return, is carried out unconditionally. ”

"The first meeting of Horn I at the Red Tower ended, and the meeting was adjourned. ”

Nolan immediately rang the bell of the Red Tower.

"Bell...... Bell ......"

Unlike the three bells that ring on Coronation Day, the Red Tower only strikes twice at the end of each meeting, representing the end of the most important meeting of the country.

Without waiting for the nobles to object, Horn drove them all out.

An old man was still very unwilling to shout outside the door: "Wait! Your Majesty! I still ——!."

"Forget it!" the nobleman next to him grabbed him and whispered, "It's not certain if she can come back alive......

"Marlowe's plague is not so easy to solve, I heard that there are witches at work......"

"It's okay to go, Sivane is not by her side, it's more convenient......"

......

The first meeting of the Red Tower ended.

As Horn passed by the soldier who had hesitated to drag him down because of Lem's words, he spat out two words:

"Executed. ”

Victor immediately stepped forward and dragged the man down.

The soldier struggled and shouted, "Your Majesty! I don't understand...... What am I doing wrong?!"

"Spare your life...... spare me, Your Majesty...... Ah——!!!h

With a scream of extreme pain, a trace of blood diffused, and then it was out of control, and the sound of begging for mercy stopped abruptly.

Sivan stood behind Horn, and Horn patted him on the shoulder and said, "General Sivane, I will leave for Marlowe in the near future, and Wangcheng will be handed over to you." ”

Silvein nodded solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. ”

Horn's green eyes were dark, and she said slowly: "I give you all the power of life and death......

"Including...... To the lime. ”

Silvein's face changed, and he immediately respectfully gave Horn a standard military salute.

"Thank you for your hard work, go down. ”

"Yes!"

......

A meeting, from morning to sunset.

The fiery red fiery clouds on the horizon were reflected in Horn's green eyes, and the extreme collision of extreme red and extreme green, a trace of indescribable treachery quietly grew.

After a dinner of roe deer, herons, perch, white bread made from fine wheat flour, wine, etc., Horn finished his walk, and it was already dark. She lay down on the bed contented.

- "7, tonight...... Take me to the dwarven mines. ”
