Blood, mixed with some viscous white liquid, splattered on Archbishop Henry's face. Opposite, Paul I fell with a bang, and the golden revolver fell to the ground.

The blackfriars were all shocked when they looked at Paul I, who committed suicide, they never thought that a pampered king would dare to commit suicide with a gun!

The former Paul I was just a child who was greedy for life and afraid of death! He is a year younger than Katerina, and he only cares about enjoying the fun brought by the king, where is the slightest bit of a king?

But Paul I's actions today do show the bloody nature of a king. There was a dead silence in the room, and it was a long time before Archbishop Henry drew his handkerchief and wiped the blood from his face.

"He's changed.... It's a lot better than when I first met him half a year ago. Archbishop Henry sighed: "A strong king can always produce excellent successors, and the two sons and daughters of Peter the Great have the qualifications to become kings." ”

"If Paul I could be given more time, maybe he would grow into a true monarch.... Or maybe not. ”

"There are some problems that can only be woken up in moments of despair, but by then it's often too late." Archbishop Henry, who has been with Paul I for more than half a year, has watched Paul I grow up little by little, but there are many geniuses in the world, and they can really grow.... Few and far between.

And the death of Paul I also gave Archbishop Henry a strong sense of crisis. As Paul I said before his suicide, once the king dies, then whether he is the one who does it or not, it must be the Cult of Wisdom and his Archbishop Henry who will ultimately bear the infamy of killing the king.

Killed the king's church .... Can it still get popular support?

"Archbishop, what now?" Basil, the blackfriar with a silver cross on his chest, said in a trembling voice: "If the king is dead, the kingdom will be in complete chaos!" ”

"Panic what." Archbishop Henry rubbed the gold ring on his hand and said softly, "Don't forget, we have obtained a lot of lost ancient magic from the relics left by the Apocalypse Cult, which is the treasure of Yin Rinne Bojie, the founder of the Apocalypse Era, and there is an ancient magic in it.... From the distant and ancient kingdom of Voodoo. Basil's eyes widened: "You mean...."Archbishop Henry raised his arm and aimed it at the corpse of Paul I, and the golden ring on his ring finger instantly lit up, glowing golden with his low groan.

"Ancient Magic—Corpse Golems." The golden ring melted, turning into a drop of golden liquid, which swirled and fell, melting into the corpse of Paul I.

Paul I, who had long since died, suddenly opened his eyes and stiffened himself, his face covered in blood, his eyes hollow, and he became a walking corpse.

"It's a pity that we don't have the good technology that the Voodoo Kingdom uses to preserve corpses, and this corpse puppet won't last long, and it will completely decay in a month at most.," said Archbishop Henry.

Basil swallowed, as members of the Holy Silver Cross Knights of the Wisdom God Cult, of course they had heard of the ancient magic from the Voodoo Kingdom, the corpse golem, Rao had heard of it, and it was difficult for them to accept this unethical magic method.

They are human beings, and if they are human beings, they will have thoughts, and they will have things that are difficult for them to accept. Forcibly controlling a dead person is not only terrifying, but also disgusting....

"Go find some ice and freeze His Majesty's body to delay the decay as much as possible." Archbishop Henry said, "Then clean the room, the fewer people know about this thing, the better, understand?" ”

“..... Got it. The Basiles turned to leave the room, and Archbishop Henry looked at Paul I, who had empty eyes, and muttered, "Your Majesty, I will prove that you have made the wrong choice today. ”........................................ The royal capital, a estate on the outskirts of Petersburg.

Bang! Bang! Gunshots rang out in the forest, birds flew into the air, and Duke Yovanovich, armed with a shotgun, watched a bighorned elk fall in the bushes in the distance, satisfied with his marksmanship.

"Alexey, do you see? Hunting is a sport that a man must learn. Duke Yovanovich said to his youngest son, who was following him and was a foot deep and shallow in the forest.

"Father, I don't like hunting," Alexei said, looking at the elk lying in a pool of blood, and a small deer that stopped not far away, and said with a pout, "You killed the mother of the fawn, it was cruel." ”

"Oh.... It's cruel indeed. "Duke Yovanovich also spotted the fawn not far away, he changed the bullet, raised the shotgun, and pulled the trigger.

Bang! The fawn fell.

"Now they are reunited, and there is no more pain, no more sorrow."

"......" Alexei pursed his lips, almost crying.

"Alexey, never have mercy, no one in this world cares what you think except your family." Duke Yovanovich slapped the shotgun in his hand while teaching his son: "Unless you have the power to kill them." ”

"But father, there's no need for us to kill them! We can eat other foods! There's still so much meat at home! Alexey shouted.

"This is the greatest temptation of power, Alexey...."Duke Yovanovich wiped his beard and smiled, "today we killed these two deer for fun, and we don't even have to pay any price for it, just because we have enough power, if it is a commoner who shoots these two elk today, then they will be imprisoned for harming the property of the nobles at will." ”

"If you don't have enough power, then one day, you will also become the target of other powers to tease and have fun, son, you have to remember...."Duke Yovanovich pressed Alexei's shoulders and said in a soft tone: "Power, only those who hold power can decide the fate of others." It's fine that you don't want to hurt others, but you also have to make sure that you don't get hurt by others, and that requires power. ”

"I remember, father."

"Well, let's have a grilled deer steak tonight, with some Krugian's red wine and sour cream, you'll love it." Crash!

There was a noise in the grass behind him, and Duke Yovanovich immediately protected his son, vigilantly raised his shotgun, and just as he was about to shoot, a Siberian forest cat sprang out.

"Kelulu? Why are you here? Duke Yovanovich recognized at a glance the cat, which had been held in the arms of Paul I all day, and he thought that Paul I had come, and looked around for a long time, but found no trace of His Majesty.

"Father, this cat has something in its mouth!"

"Hmm...."After making sure that Paul I had not come, Duke Yovanovich bent down to take the parchment that was on Colulu's mouth, as a royal paper, with a very clear mark on it.

Just as Duke Yovanovich was reading the king's edict, an orange figure not far away turned his head and left, silently, as mysterious as if it had never appeared.

"Abdication edict...."Breathing gradually became short, cold sweat oozed from Duke Yovanovich's forehead, he was shocked by the content of this edict, it turned out to be the king's edict of abdication!

In the edict, Paul I not only severely rebuked Archbishop Henry for the fact that he was under house arrest, but also apologized to the whole people for his past cowardice. He even announced his abdication on the same day, and the new king.... It's his sister, Grand Duke Mosk - Katerina!

If it weren't for the fact that the signature at the end of the parchment was indeed the handwriting of Paul I, the seal of the king, Duke Yovanovich would have thought that someone had forged the edict, and even then .... The content of the edict still had a big impact on him.

Once this edict is issued, the Cult of Wisdom will become the target of public criticism and condemnation, and Katerina.... It is logical to mobilize the army and enter the royal capital!

"Why is this edict here? Why? Who sent it? Duke Yovanovich was puzzled in his heart, and he licked his dry lips, shocked.

He didn't believe that a cat could pass through the huge royal capital without being commanded and find himself hunting in the back mountains.

Definitely not a coincidence! What exactly does the person who sent this edict want to do?!

"Father, are you alright?" Looking at Duke Yin Wanovich, whose expression changed abruptly, Alexei asked suspiciously: "You sweat a lot...."

"To... Something big is coming..."Duke Yovanovich was in no mood to continue hunting, so he asked the guards to take his son back to the manor, while he rode in a carriage and hurried to a farm to the east.

He was bent on asking how to deal with it, but he didn't notice it at all.... An orange figure following closely behind the carriage.
