Chapter 414: Old King Heberis

Two days after the Demon King was defeated, the crusading army completed most of the arrangements and deployments, and at the same time, this exciting news was announced to the whole country, and the next step should be to revive the royal capital that had been turned into a dead city by the Demon King. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Fortunately, the royal capital did not receive much damage, just need to find the fleeing population, and rebuild the original order, what is more difficult than these things is the political situation after this, but this is not something that ordinary people need to consider, they only think about how to return to their previous lives.

Aristocrats and officials are not so laid-back, they are the most passive and confused group of people.

The regime of Heberis has been in a delicate situation since the Demon King Gushin ascended to the throne, and when Gusin became a monster, the situation became extremely chaotic, and this situation did not improve until the Demon King was defeated.

No, it's a bit too much to say that it hasn't gotten better, and the real situation should be said to have become more chaotic than before.

The crusading army, which was praised as a hero for following the exploits of the Demon King, was not a single unit, and the army was divided into the Northern Army, led by the great nobles of the North, and the coalition led by the aristocratic faction.

These two armies that were originally able to fight well became more powerful after they had the prestige of crusading against the demon king, and the big nobles who were the masters were also stronger, so there would be no problem with this, but if you consider the weak princess, this is not such a pleasant thing.

However, it seems that as a person preparing to inherit the throne, Charlotte does not seem to have such a serious sense of crisis.

Charlotte walks through the passage leading to the palace dungeon, which is one of the royal family's secrets, with a concealed design, unused and unmaintained equipment, and a poor environment.

His skin felt the damp, cold air, his nose smelled of mildew and rancidity, and he listened to the sounds of rats and rats coming out of nowhere.

It was a terrible environment, but Charlotte was so happy, so happy that she wanted to hum a little tune.

There's a reason why Charlotte came here alone, because this underground dungeon houses the man who once stood on the top of a nation, the old king of Heberis, who was imprisoned by Gusin.

As for what Charlotte is doing here, it's not just to show her filial piety.

At the end of the passage is a thick rusty iron gate, which is more than three meters tall and does not look like it was designed to hold humans, and perhaps only the designers of the royal family and the royal palace at the time know why.

Pull down the ring next to the iron door, the iron door is pulled up by chains, and behind it is another iron door, and after repeating the previous operation, Charlotte can be considered to have actually entered the underground dungeon.

The moment she stepped into the dungeon, a stench mixed with acid gas filled the dark side, which made Charlotte frown slightly in disgust.

It was a foul stench of filth mixed in, and it looked like it had been sitting for a while. It's also unexpected, after all, innovation can't make Lao Wang's existence discovered, so the possibility of contact must be reduced, plus the incident of the demon king, I don't know how long Lao Wang has been locked up here and no one cares.

"Your room is really dirty, as the head of a country, how can you not clean up your room?"

Charlotte stepped up to her skirt and saluted, and in front of her was a ragged, skinny old man, the former King of Heberis, diluted but like an old beggar who had fled, and it seemed that the suffering of this time had tormented this man with no corresponding talents but great ambitions.

"Greetings from Jiushu, Father. ”

Old King Heberis, who was sitting on a dirty straw mat, looked up at Charlotte with dirty eyes.

"What's wrong with Gusin?"

No matter what kind of mentality he has, Gu Xin is now the person that Lao Wang cares about the most, and there is no one.

Charlotte didn't answer immediately, but looked at the chains on Wang's hands and feet with appreciative eyes, and the rusty black iron chains didn't know whether intentionally or unintentionally they tightly locked Wang's hands and feet, wearing out his skin, which made his hands and feet ulcerate in varying degrees of lightness.

-- Bad luck. Charlotte didn't know if it was because of luck or because he had been too strong to die of tetanus, but it wasn't good luck, because he had missed the easiest way to die, and now he was waiting for a painful death with despair as a side dish.

Charlotte withdrew her gaze from the festering wounds on Wang's hands and feet, and she answered Wang's question with a smile.

"Gu Xin, the demon king of the troubled royal capital, was killed not long ago, and his body will be displayed outside the city gates. ”

After Charlotte's words were finished, Lao Wang stood up excitedly, and he pounced on Charlotte like crazy.

"How is that possible!"

Seeing that Lao Wang was about to touch Charlotte with his dirty hands, the chains on his body reached the limit, dragging the old man like a candle in the wind to the ground.

"How is that possible!!"

Charlotte smiled at the ridiculous gesture of Lao Wang struggling on the ground, especially how could the repeated sentence make this man even more ridiculous.

If Sholot wanted to, he could explain the death of his eldest son to the man, but Charlotte didn't have that kind of leisure, after all, she didn't come to explain to the old man who was about to die.

"Your second son, who also took a step before Gu Xin, has probably returned to the embrace of the gods now. ”

Charlotte restrained her smile and said it in a gesture of reverence that only believers have.

"The gods will surely protect this lost soul. ”

Compassion, selflessness, firmness, all these beautiful expressions of writing are all vividly and exquisitely expressed by Charlotte in a short period of action, but compared with her previous expressions, it has become a performance that makes people laugh, and in fact it is indeed a performance.

The old king stopped struggling, he raised his head and looked at Charlotte with eyes full of anger and hatred.

"What the hell did you do?!"

This sentence made the expression on Charlotte's face crack, and a twisted and crazy smile appeared from the cracked shell.

"I'm still guessing how far you have to go to understand my painstaking efforts, after all, it's quite troublesome to give so many clues and flaws quietly, and if you can't guess I'll have to explain it to you myself, but that's too boring, and of course it's more interesting to have someone else guess the bad things. ”

Charlotte's eyes rolled downward, and unlike her smile that burned like a flame, the light in her eyes was cold and cruel.

"Actually, I didn't do anything, I just wanted to play the country you value the most. ”
