Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 27 Vigrich II

"Yes, Your Majesty," Lozaria said politely, "We all have the blood of Apollyon."

The queen's eyes swept to his sons again, and finally stopped on Alan. "You look very much like your mother, Your Royal Highness."

"Thank you, Aunt," Ellen said sweetly.

Allen looked as much like his mother as he looked like himself.Not only their looks, but their father and son have completely different personalities.

No matter what happened, Alan would go to his mother, as if his father never existed.

And Dia also loves her own little son the most. Although she is a good wife and is working hard to be a dedicated mother, she cares too much for Allen, so much that Wigrich Jealous of the mother-son relationship.

Allen always complained to Dia that he didn't give him enough care, but in fact Allen never opened up to himself, and the kid would only make excuses for his behavior.

"Where are Rudomir and the Leos?" Dia asked. "Are they in Hall of Ashes?"

"Rudomier isn't here, no one has seen him since his father's funeral," Lozaria shook her head. "Leo might be there, but he doesn't want to be found."

"Don't want to be found? What does that mean?"

"He is no longer the good brother you used to be, good sister." Lozaria said. "The death of his father hit him hard, too."

"For the matter of King Izdor, please forgive me." Vigrich said to Lozaria.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor." Lozaria said, "Thank you for your letter of condolence."

"How did he get there?" Dia asked softly.

"He walked peacefully," Lozaria replied, "and the priests eased his pain with mandrakes. They say his soul was brought to Meera, the wise star-god, by Hedar."

"That's good, Meera is a very suitable destination for my father." Dia said with relief, "Where is he buried? I want to go and see him."

"Father was with grandfather and ancestors, in the tomb of Jaegerska Palace," Lozaria said.

"You are now the new ruler of Vivalia, and King Izdor will be proud of you," Vigrich said.

Izdor counted his whole life, but he couldn't count the thoughts of the nobles.

He had high hopes for Rudomir Korva, and the nobles naturally understood.He thought Rudomir would make a good king, and so did the nobles.

A good king is a cure for a kingdom, but a poison for dukes.

"I hope so," Lozaria said bitterly, "but I may not be the ruler my father expected, and he never wanted me to inherit his position."

It was because Izdor didn't want his youngest daughter to succeed that the nobles had elected her queen, Vigrich thought.It was an exploitable opportunity for the nobles of Vivaria, and it was also for him.

"Sometimes the best is not what is expected, Auntie," said Ellen. "I am sure you will make a good queen."

"Thank you, nephew." Lozaria smiled, "I will try my best."

"Your Majesty, I heard that you will choose your future husband at your coronation ceremony." Vigrich said, looking at Lozaria's blue eyes.

"Words travel really fast," Lozaria said. "It's definitely my intention."

"Then do you have a suitable candidate in mind?" Wigrich continued to ask.

"Husband, I don't think this is a good time to discuss politics," Dia scolded him.

"It's okay, sister," Lozaria stroked Dia's arm, "I'm still thinking about it, Your Majesty the Emperor."

Vigrich nodded, although he didn't want to show that he wanted Zhuo Ke to marry her, but he already had a decision in his heart.

Lord Jarus Pelke of Ernorburg is a good proposition, and supporting him as king will allow the Hastza Empire to reclaim Vivalia within its own lifetime.

But the kingdom is only a vassal to the Hastza Empire, and although the mess of the nobles can be handed over to Yarus, Lozaria's brother Rudomir and his black army will still be a hidden danger.

Let Zhuoke marry Lozaria and bring the influence of the empire to the north. Their descendants will inherit the Hastza Empire and will be the best candidate for King Vivalia.

As long as one's own strength and authority are put there, the nobles will not act rashly if they use a little coercion and temptation.

At that time, the entire kingdom will most likely be directly brought under the rule of the empire.If Hastza can help Vivaria abolish electoral and parliamentary systems while the queen is in office, the future succession to the throne will become undisputed.

The queen was too young and weak to be the ruler of Vivaria in her own strength.

The person who marries her and the family behind him are bound to get the key to open the door to the kingdom's power. If she chooses Zhuoke, then the golden double dragon flag of Apollyon will surely fly on the future Fort Smuggler.

In any case, Rudomir Korva will be a sticking point, and Vigerich still needs to figure out the queen's brother's intentions.

He has worked hard all his life to restore the former glory of the empire, and Vivalia will be the most important move during his reign, and he will not allow himself to make a mistake.

Zhuo Ke on the side stared at Queen Lozaria as if fascinated. In front of such a beautiful woman, even the most reserved boy would inevitably be moved.

"After a long journey, you must be exhausted," Lozaria said, "I have asked Sigmund to arrange the best room in Smogburg for you, please let my attendants lead you there .” After that, the queen waved her hand to signal the servants in the courtyard to lead them the way.

"I want to go see my father and sister first." Di Ya said.

"Of course, sister," Lozaria waved her hand again, letting the attendants get ready.

"Let's go together," Vigrich said. "He's my father-in-law, the kids' grandfather."

Vivaria's king's tomb is directly below the Jaegerska palace, and Vigerich has only read about it in the books of scholars.

The tomb was built by Cajetan Korva, the second king of Vivalia Kingdom, "The Pious". As his nickname indicates, he is a loyal believer of the star gods.

There are three doors at the entrance of the tomb, the first door is engraved with the death star god, Hedar, the extraditor of souls, carrying his shroud with his three arms, and he takes the souls of the dead to the stars;

The second door is engraved with Quonus, the god of justice and law, with his eyes closed, holding a scale and a scepter. He will judge the deeds of the dead in this life and determine the whereabouts of their souls;

The third door is engraved with Nemir, the god of the stars, who will refer to the suggestions of the gods and make the final ruling.
