Just after the New Year, the king summoned the four dukes to the palace.

Vivien reminded Duke Klein that the king was seriously ill and that in order to ensure that the four dukes did not cause trouble, they had to be detained in the royal capital.

Duke Klein smiled, when did he fall to the point where he needed his daughter's reminder? Speculating on people's hearts is what he does best.

When he left, Vivien was in charge of everything in the north. Evans fears that Victor will take the opportunity to hurt his daughter, and he lives in fear every day.

Vivien's body is taking longer and longer to come out, and the speed at which she processes official documents is getting faster and faster. Victor bluntly said that he didn't care about the rest of the time, and he must not let the main body appear when he was eating breakfast!

Vivien agreed to his wish.

After the New Year's party, a nobleman came to the door and said that he wanted to match his son with Anne. Vivien didn't want to be a matchmaker, so let Anne make up her own mind.

Anne was the illegitimate daughter of the baron, and the baron was a pervert, and when he saw that the maid looked good, he did everything possible to abduct people to the bed. Growing up in such a family, she had long lost faith in marriage.

However, as soon as she refused to marry on the front foot, the Baron's Court on the back foot forced her to marry, in order to get a large amount of bride price for the marriage.

In this era, a woman's marriage is in the hands of her parents. If she dared to run away, she would be homeless the next day.

Anne asks Vivien for help, and she would rather be a maid for the rest of her life than to marry. Vivien paid a large sum of money to buy Anne, and from now on, the Baron's Court could no longer interfere with her future.

Annie's matter had just been resolved, and something happened to Fia's side. It turned out that she was going to marry the knight of her childhood sweetheart, who would have thought that the other party would suddenly become seriously ill.

Vivien sent a doctor to check on him, and found that he was not sick but poisoned, and many people in the Order vomited and fainted.

Vivien immediately asked Jay and Victor to investigate, wanting to poison so many people in the Knights, she couldn't think of any other way to do it than food and water.

As she expected, the problem was in the hot soup that the Knights drank. All the cooks and attendants who had come into contact with the soup were arrested and interrogated.

Jay is gifted in interrogation, Victor is rigorous and serious, and the two work together to find out the murderer in less than three days.

Looking at the stubborn middle-aged woman in front of her, Vivien couldn't help but frown. Brenda is Victor's nurse, and she poisoned the Order to get revenge on Vivien.

Brenda believes that Vivien is not worthy of being the heir to the Duke's Palace, so she wants to poison her and support her son to ascend to the throne. However, Laura was very strict with the diet of the princess, and she couldn't find a chance to do it, so she was angry and sprinkled the poison into the soup of the Knights.

It stands to reason that murder of the Knights will be punished severely, with whipping and beheading. It's just that Brenda has done her best to take care of Victor for eighteen years, and with all the hard work, Vivien decided to take it lightly.

Eventually, Brenda was given five lashes and fired, and her guilt was declared in the realm, forbidding any nobles to be hired again.

The Knights slowly recovered their health, and Fia was married. Vivien also gave her a large sum of money as a congratulatory gift, hoping that their future life would be better and better.

"Jay, Martin, you two go to the west by yourself." Vivien cautiously handed Jay a letter.

"Please rest assured, we will complete the task."

"Don't reveal half a word to anyone but Talon."

"Yes, princess!"

The two packed their bags, took the knight in disguise and left the north. Along the way, they disguised themselves as merchants and came to the west, although there were minor problems in the process of meeting the prince of Talon, but with the help of Miss Andrea, the matter was successfully completed.

On the sixth day of the fourth month, the second prince launched a rebellion with Lawrence, Duke of the East, and the crown prince joined hands with Aden, Duke of the South, to quell the rebellion.

The war spread from the royal capital to the east and south, and in order to seize the other's handle, both sides extended their grips to the innocent people.

The church took the opportunity to spread rumors that the stupid Stan royalty was at an end, and only the light of God would shine forever.

The royal capital became in dire straits, nobles with ulterior motives from all over the country rebelled, and the entire Balian Empire was in chaos.

The northern and western parts of the country closed their gates early, and all important towns were guarded by knights and infantry, and no one was allowed to start a riot and affect the lives of the people.

This civil strife lasted for a month and ended in the failure of the second prince to seize the throne. The queen committed suicide by poisoning, the second prince was imprisoned, and the princess Elena was placed under house arrest in another palace.

In this vigorous struggle, Duke Klein and Duke Hoffmann stayed in the palace honestly, drinking tea and reading books or playing chess and drinking to pass the time every day.

On 15 May, after receiving an invitation from the palace, Vivien decided to go to the royal capital to attend the coronation of the new king. All the affairs of the north are handled by Victor, which is just a test of his choice.

"Aren't you afraid that when you come back, the Duke's Mansion will be replaced by someone in charge?" Victor sneered.

It will take at least a month for Vivien to leave this time, and if he has the intention, he is not afraid that it will not be possible. In addition, for the past three months, the Knights have been in charge of training by him, and he trusts him more than Vivien.

"Believe it or not, I came into this world for you." Vivien whispered in Victor's ear.

"For me?" Victor didn't believe it.

"Yes, I knew you a long time ago."

After Vivien finished speaking, she gently patted Victor on the shoulder. In the eyes of outsiders, their sister and brother have always been very close.

"Vivien, be careful all the way."

Mavis repeatedly told Vivien to write to her in the royal capital, and the Duke was under house arrest for four months, and it is not known what the situation is. It is said that many people died in the royal capital riot, and it is hoped that the duke will be safe and sound.

"I'm leaving, the north will leave it to you!"

Vivien turned her head and waved goodbye to the crowd, this time she only brought twenty knights, half the number of people who had gone to the royal capital on the previous two occasions.

Five days later, Vivien set foot in the royal capital for the third time. In just half a year, the once bustling capital has now become silent.

The Winter Palace has not changed much, and the servants are waiting outside the door early to greet them. Duke Klein had a ruddy complexion, and it seemed that life was going well.

"The real battle is about to begin."

"yes, you can't let up for a moment."

The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and then walked into the palace step by step.

After a two-day break, Vivien began to participate in the aristocratic activities of the royal capital. The first was a charity gala hosted by the Duchess of Aden, with the theme of raising money for the dead.

During this time, the aristocratic forces that supported the crown prince increased their influence through donations, while actively encircling centrist forces.

Vivien bumps into Carol at a banquet and notices a familiar face next to him, smiling and greeting him.

"Lady Vivien!"

Karina walked over with Talon by the arm, and I have to say that one of them is as delicate as a flower and the other is as calm as a mountain, and they are extremely compatible when they stand together.

Originally, the marriage date of the two was in February this year, but the situation in the royal capital changed greatly and could only be postponed to August.

"Long time no see, you two are a real match."

The princess laughed.

After the three of them said hello, they walked over Carol to the balcony to talk, Catherine did this on purpose, she regarded Vivien as a friend, and she was not used to Carol's actions.

Although Vivien had explained that the divorce was the result of a discussion between the two, she still didn't want to give them a good look.

On June 6, the crown prince openly tried the second prince.

Rebellion is a heinous crime punishable by death. The crown prince had good intentions and finally decided to deprive the second prince of his surname and degrade him to a commoner, and he could never return to the royal capital.

Duke Lawrence was sentenced to death, and the rest of the party numbered three hundred, large and small. On the execution ground, sinners lined up with shackles to wait for the execution, and the smell of blood spread far and wide.

On June 26, the new king was crowned at the Kuwait Church. All the nobles wore ceremonial robes and stood in a line according to their rank.

The new king wears a crown on his head, holds a scepter that symbolizes the king's ruling authority in his right hand, and holds the throne ball in his left hand. Eunice sat on the viewing platform with a little boy in her arms, dressed in a lavish dress representing the Queen.

At the end of the coronation, the new king paraded in a golden carriage. All the people of the royal capital poured into the streets to witness the birth of a new king.
