There was no triumph, no cheers and welcomes, and when Tsar Catalina rode back to the capital city of Kislev on an ice chariot, everything was as silent as a pool of stagnant water. Even the populace privately gave the queen a new name - Bloody Caterina. Because she ordered the massacre of Errengrad, a bloody suppression.

At the same time, the rebellion of the Grand Duke in the capital not long ago has intensified the public's suspicion of the queen. In fact, basically people with a little bit of brains know that the queen is inseparable from this undead army. Why did the duke just attack the Ice and Snow Winter Palace on the front foot, and those undead killed on the back foot...... Is this just a coincidence?

However, doubts are doubts, and the days still have to be passed...... Even if the queen was really a vampire, what could they do with her? they were just a bunch of civilians running around for food, just a bunch of unarmed people. And she, high above, rules the country. She worked hard for Kislev, suppressed rebellions, and eradicated vampires, and the Ice Queen was such a righteous image, at least on the surface. No one could contradict her, and no one dared to contradict her.

It is said that on the day of Grand Duke Cohen's death, hundreds of ghouls lay on him and dismembered him, and the cruel and terrifying images made the people even have a trace of sympathy for the Duke of Soy Sauce. However, he was still defeated, and everyone's lives went on as usual...... Because they can't live without this city, only here can they be provided with job opportunities, so that they can be fed and clothed, so that they will not freeze to death in the cold winter.

......

"Bastard, who gave you the power to release the legion without permission?"

Upon returning to the Winter Palace, Caterina became furious and found the Witch Mentor Granny. The latter knelt down in front of the queen like a slave and received the harshest rebuke and punishment from the Snow Queen.

"They...... They are about to storm the Winter Palace...... Her Majesty ......"

"Then let them in! The Hermitage is nothing more than a house. Is there an army here? There are countless secret weapons?"

Caterina snapped.

Granny shook her head......

"Since they don't, what can they do when they come in?" Caterina roared angrily, "The royal power is not called the royal power when it sits on the throne, Cohen has no army, and even if he sits on the throne, he is not qualified to compete with me." I have 50,000 elite soldiers at my command, the troops of the lords of all regions plus the standing army, and the griffon legion. These soldiers are loyal to me!"

"What if the city is given to him, will he be able to hold it?"

Caterina continued to yell. Her fangs peeked out from between her lips like a bloodthirsty monster, and of course, every vampire resembled a monster when angry.

Granny shook her head again......

"Since he can't hold it, what are you worried about him doing in breach of the Winter Palace? What are you summoning the army of ghouls? To let all the Kithrie Lady know that I am the Queen of Blood, right?"

Caterina yelled. All those present did not dare to say a word. They stood silently around the Queen, deep in the underground palace, the angry roar of vampires, wave after wave.

"Fool!!Take her to the dungeon, and no one will be allowed to approach her without my orders. "Think again

Caterina threw down her cold words and walked out of the dungeon. Now, she had to think about how to calm the frightened populace.

Fortunately, things have not deteriorated to the point of no return, and the public is suspicious, and no one has any evidence that their queen is a vampire. What's more, during the riots in Kislev City, the Ice Queen did not appear on the scene. Everyone knew that she was out there to put down the rebellion.

To this end, Caterina brought a group of Stryger ghouls to the public as substitutes. Let the Chancellor claim that they are the vampire forces that attacked the Duke in that chaos. And now, the righteous queen will burn them in public as an example.

On the day of the trial, tens of thousands of people gathered in the city square, all to watch the burning at the stake, first, to hear the queen's voice to witness the vampire being executed. Second, it's to see the excitement...... There is simply too little entertainment in Kislev...... The numb populace needs everything to stimulate their nerves, and something as brutal as burning at the stake is undoubtedly the best thing to watch.

"They have attacked our cities, they have attacked the citizens of Kislev, they are the source of evil, they are bloodthirsty beasts, and in the witness of the gods, we should burn these bloodthirsty monsters to the ground and pay tribute to our dead compatriots!"

On the podium in the square, the fat Minister of the Executive read impassionedly and eloquently. With a flash of fire in his eyes, he raised his right hand to signal justice for the country, and, most importantly, he was the spokesperson for the Snow Queen Katarina, the authorization of the Tsarina to stand in front of the public, to uphold justice and justice.

Thousands of people looked at the ghouls tied to the wooden platform and shouted things like "Kill, burn!"

This is the political ...... Whether you believe it or not, it's all played out like this.

Several hulking ghouls were hoisted, struggling like four-legged frogs kicking in the air, letting out a terrifying roar. If they could speak, the ghouls would have cried out...... But they don't have a chance. The fire was lit, and the crowd threw rotten vegetables and rotten eggs at the monsters, and even the children picked up pebbles and threw them at them.

The flames quickly erupted, scorching the Streiger prisoners of war like roasting prey. The smell of burnt flesh filled the air, and the ghouls let out a painful and long process, their bodies burned little by little, and the remaining grease fueled the flames, slowly devouring them until a charred corpse remained on the wooden frame.

"Do you really believe that Caterina has nothing to do with the Legion of the Dead?"

"Hmph, do you believe it? Who can't see such a clumsy method? Hide people's eyes and ears, and direct and act by yourself. ”

In the mansion on one side of the square, two Kislev nobles were standing on their balconies, watching the farce.

They talked to each other, their words revealing dissatisfaction and disdain. The queen's trick is so childish and funny. But in the moment it is the best way to do it. People want the truth, even if it is so hypocritical.

"Our Majesty has always been so wise and so great. Everything she said was right, and everything she did was right. The people have no choice, and the only option is to believe her nonsense. ”

They can also choose not to believe it, but is it useful? Hmph, it's useless, it's your business if you don't believe it, so what if you don't believe it? The days will go on, and everything will go on as usual. The queen who rebelled against us ended up being burned to a blackened shell like the ghouls who hung in the square. ”

"People don't have a choice, and many people are still living on the subsistence line, and they care more about what they eat for their next meal than who will be their queen. ”

The two nobles said one by one, and it was getting late, and the huge city square was filled with the stench of burning flesh and blood, but other than that, it was business as usual......
