Chapter 281: Enthronement as King
"Let me hang myself in front of the people, and I will admit the fact of poisoning my father, and make your throne rightful. ”
Betty did not refuse, her expression was flat, and there was no trace of emotion in her eyes. As he said, escort Auston to the royal capital square.
Auston knelt before the people of the city, detailing the details of his poisoning of the king.
"This vile and shameless traitor!"
"Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the princess is here, and a father-killer has not been made a king. ”
"Long live Her Royal Highness Princess!"
The plank under Auston's feet suddenly opened, and he hung in mid-air, a smile of relief on the corner of his mouth, and he could finally leave this world and go to hell to atone for his sins.
Soon the pain of suffocation distorted his expression, and his eyes and tongue bulged out of his body, becoming terrifying until he ended his life.
Betty was exposed to power since she was a child, and she knew that she could not punish all the princes and ministers, so she put to death the whole family of the marquis, who was the most famous and helped Alston the most. The remaining ministers remain unchanged.
She also ordered the families of soldiers who died in the fighting to be appeased and given generous pensions to their families.
On the second day, Betty ascended the throne as king, and the high priest of the Celestial God Sect presided over the ceremony, which was witnessed by dozens of princes and ministers, and the whole city.
At the enthronement ceremony, Betty made several decisions, made Lu Ming a duke, and his grandfather was also promoted to a duke, promising to be friends with the elven kingdom for generations and never betray.
The royal Leviathans were weakened, many estates and slaves were expropriated by the royal court, and the Slant family was greatly strengthened, and the situation in Korea and China changed greatly.
The royal war lasted less than a month, and there was no news of it in many remote corners, and they didn't even know that the old king had been poisoned, and now Betty was the new king.
Wearing a jeweled crown and a golden cloak, Betty sat on the king's throne and listened to the courtiers to decide from it.
In the past, Betty accumulated a lot of power, and the name of the little devil king was well known, but she didn't expect that she could lead the troops to defeat Auston, and appease the ministers in the court with thunderous means.
Betty's expression was consistent, like her father's, not smiling, not letting the courtiers see what she was thinking.
At the end of the first day, the ministers retired. Betty still sat on the throne and refused to leave.
Lu Ming appeared at this time, picked her up forcefully, sat on the throne himself, and put Betty on his lap.
"Cry if you want. ”
A word broke Betty's strong heart, and then she cried hoarsely, and the guards dared to look at this scene, and they were so frightened that they withdrew from the hall.
After crying for a while, Betty stopped, and she said with a pear blossom and rain: "Lu Ming, can we not have children?"
Lu Ming was puzzled: "Why?"
"I feel as if my family is cursed, and will always go down the path of cannibalism, and I am afraid that my children will also have a tragic fate in the future. ”
Lu Ming comforted her and said, "You forgot that I have been breaking the rules, what is a curse." Not only do I want you to have children, but I also want you to have a litter, so that they will surround you every day. ”
Betty chirped, "What a litter! Do you think I'm a sow?"
At this moment, Betty smiled for the first time.
The morning was as cool as water, and the wet moisture hit the face, refreshing and cheerful.
Two people in cloak appeared in the street, walking through the street arm in arm.
After repeated battles, there was a sad atmosphere in the royal capital. Many people have lost their fathers, husbands, uncles, older brothers, or younger brothers.
Even with a generous pension, what could be more important than life, and what could be more important than a father who accompanies his children to grow up healthy?
"You are the king, and the most important thing you should do to make them happy and live happily ever after is the most important thing you should do. Lu Ming said to Betty.
Betty gripped his hand tightly.
"You'll help me, right?"
Lu Ming cupped her cheek and looked her straight into the eyes.
"Of course, it's not just me, Fei Fei and they will help you too. You are not alone, I am your husband, they are your sisters, they are all relatives. ”
Betty smiled sweetly, yes, at this time, it is a blessing to have a shoulder to lean on, a person to confide in her sorrows, and a friend to ask for help.
There are many small merchant ships setting up stalls in the huge ditch with many delicate trinkets on them.
Lu Ming saw it from afar, and on a whim, he pulled Betty into the ditch, and they went down the stone steps step by step, stepping on the first boat.
The boats were attached to each other by planks, fastened by hooks on the walls of the ditch, from which one could go to the next boat and watch the new goods.
Lu Ming took Betty to a boat, bent down to pick up a bracelet, lifted Betty's sleeve, and put the bracelet on her slender wrist.
"I'd love to have never bought anything for you except for a wedding ring. ”
Betty's pretty face was dyed with two red flowers, which was delicate and moving. Even the hawkers were stunned, forgetting to deliberately raise the price, and when Lu Ming asked about the price, he directly said the cost price, and scolded himself for not having the strength to do so afterwards.
After this experience, Lu Ming took care of Betty for two more days before going to get down to business.
He led six Title Witches to the Duchy of Oros. The Principality of Oros has a lot of plateaus, does not like to interact with outsiders, and mostly lives by grazing, and the people are fierce.
After the king was assassinated, the three princes competed for the throne, and for a time the whole country was in flames of war and complaints.
Lu Ming did not follow Gaia's words to find the second prince, but came to a place in the western part of the Principality of Oros, which was Julie's base camp.
For thousands of years, Julie has had countless men and countless heirs, and they have taken Julie as their grandmother and united to form a family, taking care of each other, and gradually developing into a powerful party.
Julie has her own manor house with countless people.
"Attend Grandmother!" the guard at the door knelt on the ground.
Lu Ming was surprised: "Could it be that they are not hired subordinates, but your descendants?"
Julie said: "Of course, how can anyone have relatives who can be trusted. ”
The interior of the manor is extremely luxurious, and the decoration style is retro and elegant, and the rest of the title witches are very satisfied, after all, they are people of the era.
When she came to a room, Julie's eyes dodged, and she consciously quickened her pace, wanting to leave as soon as possible. Eve saw the oddity and pushed the door open.
Lu Ming looked inside along the door, and found that there were all kinds of props inside, there were four beds of all kinds, and there were countless objects such as cages, chains, whips, swings, etc.
Eve sneered: "Tsk, a monster is a monster, and the beast is difficult to train, do you want the master to use it to punish you by keeping it here?"
Julie was speechless, she didn't expect Lu Ming to come, she had already abandoned this place, and she never thought that she would come back.
