After the internal political situation of the Zegus Kingdom began to gradually subside, the chief priest of the Holy Capital, Paulami, also said goodbye, as a friend who had known since childhood, and Paulami, who had provided great help in this turmoil, Princess Haidai also took time out of her busy schedule to hold a small send-off banquet for Paulami.

Although intelligence processing was done on the surface in this turmoil and all the responsibility was put on the cultists, compared to some nobles present by ordinary people, especially the nobles and officials of Princess Haidai's faction, who knew more or less about some unknown things, Prince Mondoli and his henchmen themselves were the culprits of colluding with the cultists, how could he be killed by the cultists.

Nine times out of ten, it should have been done by the priest of Bramy, she is the messenger of the gods, isn't it easy for the gods to make a mortal die?

However, the members of Princess Haidai's faction have remained silent, as a mortal, this is not a matter for themselves, and now the opposition forces in the country have almost been purged, and now it is a situation where their own faction dominates, and from now on, after Her Royal Highness the princess ascends the throne as His Majesty, he will inevitably become a senator.

However, despite thinking so, many people also have a little more fear of the Holy Capital in their hearts, after all, today the gods let their enemies die so easily, so will it be their turn tomorrow?

A trace of uneasiness is quietly spreading, both Bramy and Haidai have taken this situation into account, but the two of them are speechless, what Poenlius did is equivalent to throwing a cauldron over, although the cultists have shared some of it, but there are still some holy capitals and Zegus kingdoms that still can't carry it.

The day after the banquet. Bramy boarded the carriage and took his leave with the holy warrior of the god of fire.

Some positions in the palace have not yet found suitable candidates after the great change, and more new officials are busy adjusting things and calming the domestic situation, and the whole palace seems to be a little deserted at the moment, except for the guards and attendants. After officially returning to the palace, Haidai also took the opportunity to send the knights under her command to become part of the Praetorian Guard, and Athena, as the head of the knights, has been in better spirits recently, although she was affected by the bewitchment of Kulaus, but with the help of the priests of the Holy Capital, she finally recovered a lot.

"Give this document to the Fourth Praetorian Guard, and let them do the transfer in forty-eight hours. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

Hai Dai rubbed her forehead after handing a document to the officer, according to her age, other girls should be playing or studying in the academy. But he has to sit on the throne of power and deal with countless documents, the world always says that power is a good wine that makes people addicted to it, and even will risk their lives to firmly grasp the power in their hands.

But at least now Haidai doesn't feel that the power in her hands is fine wine at all. It's more like a cup of bitter medicine that is hard to swallow.

At this time, the door was slowly pushed open by the attendants, and King Monas walked in with the support of the maids, and Athena, who was working with Haidai, hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully, and Haidai also hurriedly stepped forward to support her weak father with the maids.

"Father~ Why are you here? You are still very weak and need to recuperate. If there's anything to do, I'll tell the maid and I'll come right over. ”

Monas stroked his daughter's head and sighed: "I just know that you are very busy, so I don't want to disturb you too much, besides, this person can't get better when he lies in bed all day long, so he still has to walk more." ”

He helped his father to sit on the sofa beside him, and the maids quickly brought tea.

The king didn't use the tea but shook Haidai's hand: "I'm sorry ┉┉ Haidai is useless for her father, and I didn't notice your brother's disagreement at all, I really didn't expect him to do such a thing, and it hurt you┉┉"

At this point, King Monas looked melancholy, as if he was greatly frustrated by his gaffe in this incident.

"It seems that it is time for me to abdicate. Eventually, Monas shook his head and said in an inexplicable self-deprecating tone.

"Father~ You are too serious. In fact, I ┉┉"

Monas interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Haidai, you were very strong in this incident, and you did a remarkable job of dealing with and quelling the turbulent situation afterwards. Although you may not be experienced enough, you are indeed qualified to ascend to the throne, and my father's gaffe in this incident can be regarded as a loss of prestige, even if I continue to sit on that throne, it will be uncomfortable. ”

Saying this, Monas motioned for everyone in the room to go out, and the maids quickly retreated, and Athena did cast an inquiring glance at Haidai, and after receiving Haidai's signal, the female knight also straightened out the paperwork and stood up and walked out, and soon only the lost king and the beautiful princess were left in the room.

After waiting for everyone to go, Monas looked at his daughter deeply, and then slowly spoke: "Haidai told me one thing, was it the Holy Capital who killed your brother and other nobles that night?"

"This ┉┉ is the father~"

After a while, Hai Dai finally nodded slightly, and the old king's expression was quite entangled, and finally he sighed secretly and did not continue to ask.

"Come on, Haidai, I think it's time too, come to the tomb of the former king tonight. ”

"Is Father a little too early?"

Hai Dai was slightly surprised, in the succession ceremony of the Zegus Kingdom, the prince had to be taken by the king to the tomb of the first emperor to get the scepter where to put it, and in the subsequent handover ceremony, the scepter that had been mastered by the emperors of all generations was an object of great symbolic significance, and after the ceremony, the new king had to lock the scepter back into the imperial tomb and wait for it to be passed on to the next child.

Historically, only the king himself had the key to enter the imperial tomb, and now that my father said such words, it meant that my father had made up his mind.

"It's not too early, it's time too. Monas shook his head, then got up and walked out.

┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉

During the night, Haidai, who had compressed her official duties, had already arrived early outside the tomb of the former emperor under the escort of Athena and the Knights, which had been built since the founding of the Zegus Kingdom, and stored the remains of successive emperors and important royal family members, located in a relatively remote place on the west side of the palace, except for the guards in charge of guards, almost no one would come here, and no one dared to go here for no reason.

"Her Royal Highness Princess~ Your Majesty is already waiting inside. The guards quickly helped Haidai pull the carriage and said respectfully.

Nodding his head, Haidai and Athena and others who dismounted walked into the imperial tomb, even if it is remote, but there are still people responsible for the maintenance of the imperial tomb every day, although there are no overgrown weeds, but at the moment there are some mossy ground full of fallen leaves, as soon as you walk in, Hai Dai feels that the temperature around her seems to have dropped a lot, but the tall consolation tower has made the originally gloomy imperial tomb more solemn and solemn.

King Monas has been waiting at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum, at this moment the king looks pretty good, there are two maids in brown gauze around him are standing on both sides, after seeing his father, Haidai also took off his coat and revealed a brown dress, brown is the color of the earth, in the kingdom of Zegus, whether it is a consolation or a funeral, as long as it is related to death, people like to wear such colored clothing, which represents the hope that the deceased can sleep peacefully under the earth.

After Hai Dai saluted, she was about to enter the imperial tomb with her father, when the maid beside her suddenly spoke: "Please wait outside, this is the royal imperial tomb, and other outsiders who are not members of the royal family are not allowed to enter." ”

"You guys are waiting for me right here~ Athena!" Hai Dai said softly, and Athena and several female knights immediately stood aside.

After draping a brown scarf over her head, Hai Dai slowly walked into the imperial tomb with her father and maid.

From the outside, the imperial tomb is not inconspicuous at all except for the solemn mourning tower, but the inside of the imperial tomb is very spacious, and the coffins of the emperors and royal family members are safeguarded in the tomb, although no one has visited for a long time, but the imperial tomb does not have the unique rotten and earthy smell of ordinary tombs, on the contrary, the air here is very circulating, almost no different from standing outside. Moreover, the magic crystal lamp installed inside the imperial tomb has already been lit, and after the gloomy darkness is driven away by the light, in fact, the entire underground tomb has a thick sense of historical vicissitudes.

Finally stopped in front of a heavy iron gate, King Monas, Haidai also came here for the first time in her life, looking at the relief carved with the emblem of the Zegus Kingdom on the gate for a while.

Monas didn't take out the key to open the door, but asked meaningfully, "Heidai, are you really willing to inherit this position?"

"I┉┉" Hai Dai hesitated a little and then replied: "If I have a choice, I'd rather not, or it would be better to let my brother inherit the throne, father, you know best, this position is forced by you┉┉"

"I forced it on you. ”

Monas nodded a little embarrassed: "It's all my fault for being young and impulsive, from my father where your grandfather inherited the throne but prematurely let Mondoli be born in this world, one is a son who grows too fast, and the other is a father who is too slow to let go, in order to hold more power to deliberately push you into this painful position, after a few hours, Mondoli still likes your sister very much, but it is because you became the prince that you became what you are today." ”

"Father, it's not your fault. ”

"It's my fault, because I'm also a power-hungry mortal. Mondos looked at his slim daughter and continued in a trance: "It's just that I didn't expect you to grow up so fast, Haidai! Even stronger and smarter than your brother, that's why I have to┉┉"

It was at this time that the maids pushed open the iron door, and when Hai Dai came back to her senses, she noticed that the iron door was not locked at all, and the moment the iron door opened, a strong smell of blood came from the inside. (To be continued.) )
