Valsta Imperial Capital,

Fort Midknight,

In the Imperial Prime Minister's residence, a high-ranking civilian official entered the office.

"Lord Marquis Dalí,

This morning the postman sent an anonymous letter to the Jinhu Palace,

The envelope reads 'Grave warning from the Soskaya Voodoo Church',

The recipient column directly wrote a 'widow queen',

That's disrespectful! Of course it can't be presented to Your Majesty,

So I'm showing you this letter. ”

"You're doing the right thing, man, give it to me."

Dali Einfoot reached out and took the envelope, opened it with a knife and read it:

"Ms. Sarantos Midknight,

I am the Dark Patriarch of the Voodoo Church of Soskaya.

Now I speak to you as the regent of the Kingdom of Solan,

What do you think

I'm sure you've received all my gifts.

That's just the lowest level of monsters and sorcery, and the best is yet to come.

Of course, I didn't expect these crude tricks to succeed,

It's just a minor warning, that's all.

The root cause of this is none other than your greed and ambition.

You are in collusion with Eddie Whitefield, the leader of the slave rebels, to interfere in the internal affairs of our country,

And I am also very hostile to my voodoo religion,

The persecution of Voodoo cultists in Valstad has led to the devastation of human beings.

I, Diamond Xespar,

As the sole spokesman of the true God, of course, we cannot sit idly by.

I declare that all the treaties signed between you by the royal family of La Falite shall be annulled with immediate effect, and that the two countries shall return to a state of war,

If you want to seek peace, unless you release the voodoo cultists in prison,

Promise never to interfere in the affairs of the kingdom of Solan, and hand over the traitor Prince Ingram to us for trial,

This is the best and wisest choice, and the only option you have,

If you refuse, you'll be greeted with more powerful sorcery and stronger otherworldly biological weapons.

Wake up and see the situation, ma'am.

We all know the origin of this world,

Your mother's Cult of the Secret of the Stars has died,

You don't have the slightest secret art, so what can you do against us?

Finally, I have good news to reveal,

There has been a breakthrough in the large-scale space-time rift witchcraft I taught,

I believe that in the near future,

The power of darkness and chaos will descend into this world beyond the limitations of dimensions,

By that time,

Only voodoo followers can survive,

All other mortal heretics will be scorched by the flames of hell and choked to death by their own blood!

lady

There's not much time left for you to think about it,

Believe me

Darkness and chaos will eventually envelop the land.

”

After reading the last line, Dali Einfurt's face was solemn,

He clutched the letter with his fist, crumpled it and threw it in the trash.

"Huh? How did you throw it away? ”

The civilian official asked impatiently, "What's in the letter?" ”

"The arrogant threatening rhetoric from the Dark Sect Leader Diamund, boasting of his power to bring us to our knees, but not completely ignorable either."

"Oh, it's a letter from that damn old cult man, it must have a lot of nasty words!"

"Princess Rosemary's coup d'état failed, but she also got rid of King Solan and the crown prince,

The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits.

Diamond Xespar took the opportunity to ascend to the throne of Regent, who was now the de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Solan, but his power was not yet secure.

He wants us to hand over Prince Ingram, and only by removing the last heir to the royal family of Lafalette that he will be able to sit rightfully as regent. ”

"Prime Minister, we Valsta don't have to be afraid of him,

Now that the kingdom of Solan has been destroyed by slave rebellions and civil wars, the once-formidable army has become fragmented, and there is no cause for concern. ”

"No, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse." Dali said cautiously: "In any case, the Kingdom of Solan is still the largest and most populous country in the world.

Thanks to the receipt of the King's arsenal, the Voodoo Cathar is growing at a terrifying rate, and wizards and priests are constantly turning on teleportations to bring more monsters to this world. ”

The civil official slapped the table and cursed, "These bastards, they are traitors to humanity!" ”

"That's right, these people are addicted to witchcraft and can't extricate themselves, and they have gone mad and there is no cure.

Now the battle between the Valstad Empire and the Solan Kingdom has reached a new level.

This is no longer as simple as a struggle for hegemony between countries, but a contest between humans and monsters, a war between light and darkness.

Diamond Shespal wants to take credit for his allegiance to the dark forces that want to destroy our beautiful world,

Now the only one who can stop his evil plot is us Valsta. ”

The civilian official nodded: "We must warn Your Majesty that it's time to act." ”

"She'll know," Dalí turned his head to look out the window, "but not now." ”

meanwhile

In a hospital in the city of Sirianin in the Empire,

The emperor is leading his children to bid farewell to his son.

"My dear darling, your mother is next to you, and so are your brothers and sisters."

On the sickbed lay a dying man, Prince Maxim Midknight was wrapped in bandages,

Blood and pus soaked the cloth and oozes from everywhere, and the stench of rot and the pungent smell of iodine wafted through the air.

Maxim was scratched and bitten by monsters all over his body, and his visceral tissues were exposed,

The once handsome and handsome face was completely ruined, and half of the ears and nose were bitten off.

A faint voice slowly emanating from his weak lips:

"You should be happy, Ms. Sarantos,

The leader of the largest opposition party in the country is at stake, and without my protection, sooner or later the Liberal MPs will be expelled, and their families will be persecuted, but it will be a royalist carnival, right?

After my death, there will be no more obstacles to your hegemony. ”

The emperor's single eye was filled with tears: "Good son, how can you be like this!" What should you know...... You are your mother's favorite child. ”

Maxim rolled over in pain, and the bandage continued to bleed:

"Stop pretending, tyrant, having a vicious and cruel mother like you is the most unfortunate thing in my life."

Mayer Onassis, the eldest prince next to him, couldn't hold back his anger any longer:

"Brother, you are too presumptuous! How dare you talk to Her Majesty the Mother Emperor like this? ”

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Maxim coughed twice: "Brother Meyer, you still haven't changed at all, and you are willing to bow down and be loyal to the end." ”

"You should apologize to your mother!"

"That's it! Meyer! Don't you see your brother's pain? Shut up! The Emperor said angrily.

"No, I have to say this now!"

Mayer Onassis remembered his brother's rude behavior towards him in the past, and he couldn't help but be angry, and lost his mind for a while:

"Hmph, it's all your fault, mother, you were too good to him, spoiled this bastard, look at him, he was cursing and complaining until he died, and he had never done anything meaningful in his life!"

"Smack!"

The Emperor slapped Prince Meyer with one arm in the face, causing half of his cheeks to swell and blood to flow from the corners of his mouth.

"Meyer, you are brothers! Shut up! ”

Mayer Onassis covered his swollen face, still resentful in his heart:

"This slap ...... What déjà vu, isn't it?

Just like the quarrel after the hunt, I was beaten even though I was right.

(Note: See chapters 238 and 239 for the plot here.) ）

Mother

I have never disobeyed you since I listened to you, and why are you so partial, and only love this deviant brother? He hasn't done anything serious in his life, he will only get into trouble. ”

"You...... Meyer...... Are you going to me off......"

Seeing that the emperor was about to be furious, Natasha hurriedly grabbed her husband and whispered to him:

"My dear, I know you are wronged, but now that your brother is dying, you should say two words less......"

"Hmph......" Meyer lowered his head and gradually calmed down: "I'm sorry, mother, I won't talk anymore." ”

The crown prince next to him, Constance, looked crazy, flipped through the book in his hand, and was clamoring to go out, and the emperor's son-in-law, William Einfurt, held him and did not let him move.

Maxim felt dizzy, his internal organs churned, and he knew that his life was short, so he said:

"Where's my sister? I want to see her. ”

"I'm here!" Edgar Midknight stepped forward, her white palm extended, but she couldn't see where her brother was.

Maxim raised his hand with all his strength and held his sister:

"Poor sister, what I miss most is you, Brother William, you have to take good care of her, otherwise my soul will come to you to count Zhang!"

William nodded silently, without saying a word, and let his wife cry bitterly in his arms.

Maxim's breath grew weaker and weaker, and his voice became more and more like:

"It would be nice if Rosemary and Victor were there, but unfortunately a couple was torn apart and died separately.

Okay, you all go, my mother and I have something to talk to. ”

All the princes and princesses left one after another, William took Constance with his left hand, and his right hand held his wife's waist, and when he left, he reluctantly glanced at it from the crack in the door, and said in his heart:

(Farewell, Brother Maxim, you are a kind man, but your opinions on many things are different from ours, and since you are not happy when you are alive, may you enjoy yourself here!) ）

After the door was closed, only the mother and son were left in the ward, and the emperor held his son's hand:

"My dear darling Maxim, you are finally willing to call me Mother! Mom is so happy!

Can I understand it that way?

Our mother and son have finally reconciled, right? ”

When he was dying, Maxim Midknight fell into a shallow coma, but his consciousness gradually blurred, but he still had endless hatred for his mother.

He could only be heard saying in a weak voice:

"I have to admit one thing,

The disagreement on the criminal law of the Reich was my mistake, your guillotine and intelligence officers do work,

I apologize to you for the fact that law and order in the country has changed for the better.

But yours is a good ruler who works hard,

But far from being a good mother,

You killed Ms. Steinerberg, the only person I've ever truly loved in my life.

Not only that, but you also sold Sister Rosemary to Prince Solan, indirectly killing her,

And you don't realize what you're doing wrong.

You yourself are willing to give everything for the country, and you also use this standard to demand from others,

But your children are not tools, we are all big living people!

We have our own ideas and don't want to be at the mercy of others,

It is precisely because of this conflict that so many tragedies have been caused.

I will never forgive you,

I hate, I hate......

If only I weren't your son......"

The room became quiet, dead silent.

Sarantos froze in place for a long time

As the bandaged corpse grew cold and stiff, she realized that her son was gone.

She didn't weep,

The people waiting outside heard only a wild laugh.
