Section 149 The Queen's Decree (I)
"You can go out. ”
The fat female jailer glanced at the wood elf Ciri jealously, such a beautiful woman, and a wood elf, no wonder the people around her and her companions heard that some of the big names were fighting.
This small women's prison is Asturis's, and it is also the first prison owner in the entire Azure Continent to be specially prepared for women, but its birth is closely related to the Wood Elf Song and Dance Troupe, which was implicated and imprisoned for the death of the former king.
In that case, since the former king William was said to have been assassinated by a certain dancer of the song and dance troupe, the official version is so, but in fact there are many popular versions, one of the most absurd versions is that the woman was the lover of the young king, and that the two died together, naked.
So the female assassin's companions were also implicated, and they were all imprisoned, and if it weren't for the help of the Marquis Solomon, the result might have been terrible.
They used to be treated like citizens, even citizens, but not if they committed a crime.
Fortunately, the Marquis Solomon took this matter as a little face for himself, because it was rumored that the Wood Elf Song and Dance Troupe could come to San Quentin, which Marquis Solomon had once recommended in the upper class.
As a result, many citizens and businessmen, out of "sympathy", collectively signed a siege at the Parliament building to demand the release of innocent members of the song and dance troupe.
And after a long review by the secret guards, they could not prove that there were still Natalia's accomplices in the song and dance troupe, so they had to be handed over to the court.
However, transfer to the Tribunal means that solitary confinement can no longer be held. There was such treatment before because of Princess Margaret, and now Queen Margaret wants to find out if Natalia has any accomplices. Later, there was no clear evidence of the existence of the same party in the song and dance association, and the secretaries handed it over to the court. Waiting for the verdict to be announced.
Of course, while waiting for the verdict to be announced, there are many possibilities that can happen if no one helps, such as aristocrats trying to influence judges, and aristocrats who will directly bribe the jailers to "rescue" them, or go directly to the prison to "visit" them. You might turn the dancers into playthings.
Thankfully, the Marquis of Solomon promptly proposed a decree to Queen Margaret to respect the rights of women, even if they committed crimes. Solitary confinement and female jailers should also be used.
Queen Margaret, who is a woman, was so moved by this statement that she agreed.
Then some unwilling black hands still reached out to the women's prison, but they all shrank back after the Marquis Solomon intervened. As long as those top bigwigs didn't hit these poor wood elves with their minds. It wasn't hard for Solomon to keep them.
And it is impossible for someone of the rank of Freias and the three dukes to try to clash fiercely with a new faction for a little beauty.
If anyone who knows the inside story knows that the wood elves themselves are not necessarily worthy of Solomon's action, but if they are found guilty, it will affect the face of the marquis, and maybe there will be political effects, because William's death is involved.
So Ciri and the others can only be innocent, and as safe as possible. This is what will allow the Marquis of Solomon to completely clear himself from the whirlpool of His Majesty's death and save them. It was also a manifestation of power, and the Marquis Solomon had the power to protect the people he wanted to protect.
Ciri was pleasantly surprised to find that she was not the only one who was released, most of the members of the song and dance troupe were there, only one or two were missing, I heard that one died of illness, and the other was bullied, and it was her death that led Solomon to take the opportunity to propose the establishment of a women's prison.
"You're free, thank you Marquis Solomon, but it's impossible for the cabaret to survive. It was Lizi who came to pick up Ciri, and she sighed slightly regretfully.
Ciri was at a loss, she looked at the sisters in front of her, the song and dance troupe pinned her hard work, it was a career, and now it was gone, what should she do in the future?
She couldn't help but feel a wave of mental and physical exhaustion, maybe it was time to return to her hometown?
"If you want, I can give you another option. "Although the song and dance troupe can't save zài, you can sing alone, dance, or continue in the name of a group." ”
Ciri shuddered, and couldn't help but nod her head as she watched her sisters all show hopeful expressions.
The members of the former Wood Elf Song and Dance Troupe followed Lizzie and started a new business.
In the years that followed, some of them were signed by Lizzie Bao as singers and became popular, and some joined a Mikot Entertainment company, which was not very clean, although it did not force good people to become prostitutes, but they would use means to tempt others to degenerate.
In the past, the members of the song and dance troupe relied on each other and could resist each other, but when they separated, some people could not resist the temptation to sink.
And this qiē, as it spreads, even Ciri has a weak heart and can no longer stop the deterioration.
But, on the whole, they were much better off than Mr. Hayden.
Mr. Hayden was also imprisoned for William's death, and was held for a year before being released.
Solomon was reluctant to help him because he had done nothing to curry favor with William.
After Mr. Hayden was imprisoned, his family finally had to agree to sell the Times Theater to a rival who had been eyeing him in the past, in exchange for a certain earl to intercede for him, and paid a lot of money to get him released.
But Mr. Hayden was frightened by this, and probably did not live well in prison, and died of illness within a few years of returning home, and his descendants had no business skills, and they did not get some of the original support, and the remaining theaters were gradually sold, and the Hayden family was ruined.
The movements of the members of the Wood Elves Cabaret and what happened to Mr. Hayden were just a small wave in the year, and what every Asturian remembered most was the change of three kings, from Edward, to William, to Margaret, the first queen of Asturias.
The death and change of kings brought political turmoil, and Margaret's political tendencies, which were very different from those of her father and brother, were destined to have an impact on the country and beyond.
One of the first important decrees she issued after coming to power was to allow the Church of Light to re-proselytize in Asturias and to build churches at all levels.
This order was not popular with the nobles and had mixed reputes among the plebeians.
Merchants generally disliked the greedy church, and during the period when the Church of Light was suppressed and suppressed, some of the lower citizens also became closer to the more moderate God of War Church because of the problems and darkness exposed by the church.
But since Magritte allowed the Church of Light to resume its mission, and the church had money, it was not difficult to restore it to its former size.
The nobles did not oppose Margaret in this matter, because the queen had the support of Freas, and Edward's legacy made the kingdom militarily unified, and most of the regular army except for the family's private army was controlled by the royal family in the name of the kingdom.
And the dukes were wary of the emergence of a new force, and the former cousin of the Marquis of Solomon worried them, and they did not want to clash with Margaret as much as possible, and even hoped that the queen would hate the marquis's wife.
In the latter months of the year, the hunting party that went to the East Beast Plains also began to return, some of them fruitful, and they came back with a smile on their faces to tell the story of the time, and some of them slept in the wilderness and the Beast Plain, never to return.
With the support of Taggo and others, and with the aid of Aurora, the Sreks fought a protracted battle against the Asturians on the beast plains, and the scale grew larger.
This hunting battle, which many people know, thought it was not far from the end after someone began to return, but the truth is that this hunting war lasted until the following year, and it was not until a direct conflict between legendary powerhouses broke out that it really came to an end.
In that battle, Ulf was first besieged and nearly killed by the three legendary powerhouses of Asturias, but was not completely defeated by Asturias as the Tygo's Wild Fury Ostos and the Aurora Valkyrie Leona attacked one after another.
However, as Aurora joined forces with the Eastern Beast Alliance, he also tore his face with Asturias, and began to send a large number of troops into the wilderness and beast fields to search and kill various hunting teams, so that the Asturians returned through the central wasteland.
Although he did not kill Ulf completely, Asturias initially selected warriors of rank to form a hunting party, and in the early days, he still caused great damage to the Sreks, including another Priest of the Scepter.
However, the end of the hunt did not lead to peace, and the Church of Light declared that it was grateful to the queen for her kindness and help to the church, and was willing to open a land passage for the Asturian kingdom to fight across the country for the Asturian army.
So Queen Margaret decided to declare war on the Eastern Beast Alliance and the Aurora Kingdom at the same time, and redeployed troops from Yugudral and Farusion, and launched an attack on the Aurora Empire and the Eastern Beast Alliance along the "Friendship Road" provided by the Church of Light to persuade the Saxons.
But the real war did not enjoy unanimous support at home, and the Upper Parliament refused to impose a special war tax on the war, while hoping that the queen would end the war.
Solomon didn't want to jump out of the brewing storm as a target, although he knew that because of Stephanie, the dukes wanted this to happen, so they were patient with the return of the Church of Light.
However, this world does not depend on the will of the individual.
Solomon tried his best to avoid it, but when the distant war reached a stalemate, Margaret found him. (To be continued......)
