in the name of the queen

Chapter 254: Status?

The war is over.

There has to be a reason to fight, and with Marco's death, the reason for the war to continue no longer exists.

Several legions were invited to send people to identify himself and confirm Marco's death.

After receiving a positive answer, the four legions organized by Marco quickly chose to surrender.

But the war still caused indelible pain.

Counting from the beginning of Alina's landing, this crusade claimed the lives of more than 70,000 people, and left hundreds of thousands of people with incurable serious injuries during the war.

Compared with the total casualties of hundreds of thousands of people, Jin Yuan Kingdom's injuries were more serious.

Under Marco's ruthless rule, the entire country was shrouded in an atmosphere of terror, and everyone was in danger, let alone construction and production.

Alina still has a lot to do to heal this horrific injury.

What she said was very beautiful, but we are not fools.

While everyone was racking their brains, the Duke of Champagne made a suggestion to silence everyone.

She killed Marco after all.

Just when the atmosphere was particularly awkward, Alina stood up and expressed her opinion.

The Duke of Champagne is one of the only five remaining dukes in the Golden Kite Kingdom. His family has been passed down for thousands of years, and his title dates back to earlier than the old empire.

This method of killing in two cuts is somewhat barbaric. Alina does not plan to execute criminals in this way in the future.

Although Alina didn't explicitly say she would pardon everyone, everyone acquiesced.

He is indeed qualified to mention this matter.

How much evil can Marco do on his own?
Did he have any accomplices?

If she really wanted to retire, she should return to the southern territory instead of marching all the way north towards Xidai City without hesitation.

At least that's what everyone wants to think.

After all, Jin Yuan is a big country, so it still needs face.

No one argued back.

Now Jinyuan is a republic.

Anyone who has been beheaded frequently knows that being beheaded is not a pleasant memory.

This sentence is a summary of Jin Yuan's chaos over the past year or so, and it is also a disguised amnesty order.

In short, Alina pardoned everyone while retaining the right of prosecution.

There certainly are, and there are a lot of them.

Being an emperor in a republic is a joke?

The guillotine will be sealed after completing its final historical mission.

However, many people overlook one point.

After the war, Alina issued a call to all classes, hoping that they would return to Cité.

Since Marco died with all his sins, of course no one else is responsible.

But more people reminded him tactfully, Sir, times have changed.

There are some things that leaders can say, but whoever believes them is really stupid.

According to the teachings of the Holy Court of Abundance, the head is the most mysterious organ. The human soul resides in the head. The beheaded person cannot cross the River Styx and is destined to be a lonely ghost.

One of the first things she did was to declare a pardon for everyone except Marco and a very few die-hards.

As Alina continues to move north, the officials in Xidai City are as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They are racking their brains every day to find loopholes in the law so that Alina can smoothly take office.

Hanging is more humane, at least leaving a whole body.

Please ask Miss Alina to ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor.

The reckoning must continue, but this time it is not Marco who is reckoning with his enemies, but everyone who is reckoning with him.

She wants to convene a three-level meeting to discuss the future of the country with everyone.

If she really wanted to retire, she would not disband other people's armies and keep her own team.

The blame lies with Marco. This statement sounds sonorous and powerful, but in fact it has no binding force.

"This is all Marco's fault."

After the political situation is stabilized, a group of scapegoats will have to be selected to vent ill will on the people.

"Since it's a republic, don't make any farce like ascending the throne. I raised the army just to bring order to the country and eradicate national traitors. If there is any selfish intention, it is to avenge my father."

"Now that I have completed my revenge both publicly and privately, it's time for me to retire."

Alina modestly said that she was young and ignorant and had no ability or qualifications to govern the country, so she would like to ask someone with more prestige to take on the important task.

Although Alina was theoretically not qualified to take over state power, no one stood up to remind her.

If Marco is the devil, wouldn’t it be more terrifying to be someone who can kill the devil?
The direction of public opinion has changed from questioning Alina's identity to how to make Alina, the Saint of Vengeance, legitimate in her leadership of the country.

Alina can be in power, that's okay, but she has to give the country some decency.

Before Mr. Carlo's accident, Alina's official title was that of diplomatic envoy.

What level is the envoy? There are no levels.

The diplomatic envoy is a part-time official, and his original official position shall prevail. Alina's original official position was senior assistant in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and her administrative level was B3.

There is no problem for her to be a mayor at her level. Being a high-ranking official is considered nepotism, let alone directly becoming the head of state.

There is no such precedent in either law or practice.

If Alina becomes president, Jin Yuan Kingdom will definitely become a joke to the whole world.

But Alina's army is moving northward steadily, and no one can stop her from taking over the power of the country.

The officials of Xidai City not only have to face Alina, but also another girl who gives them a headache.

Sif.

Although officials are racking their brains over Alina's legal status, one thing is clear: Alina is the actual person in power of the country.

So who is Sif now?
Fortunately, she appeared as Count Tyrone, which saved some face for the officials of Xidai City and Jin Yuan Kingdom.

If the Queen of Sussex captures La Cité, the Golden Kite Republic will never be able to raise its head in the future.

In order to prevent the relationship between the two parties from completely breaking down, Sif was very generous and stationed outside the city, only sending troops to take over the city defense.

Before considering Alina's mood, these officials must consider Sif's mood.

After much thought, these officials could not find a way to compromise.

Xifuko entered the Golden Kite Kingdom on the grounds of declaring war on Alina.

Alina is about to become the head of state, so is Count Sif's declaration of war still valid?

If it works, should we still fight this battle?

Thinking of this, the heads of the officials in Xidai City almost exploded.

According to the agreement, in order to protect the personal and property safety of the citizens, the city of Xidai announced that it would give up resistance, temporarily belong to the Earl of Tyrone, and obey Sif's orders. .

Before Sif and Alina decided the winner, they were even regarded as Sif's vassals.

If Sif demands that the war continue, should they join Sif's side and fight against Alina?

This question burned everyone's brains.

Although most people don't think Sif would be so stupid, but what if?
It's hard to guess a woman's mind.

If the woman is powerful and young, it's impossible to guess.

Just as the officials watched Alina gradually approaching the city of La Cité, and even seriously considered whether to resign to avoid disaster, their savior finally arrived.

As Alina's forerunner before entering the city, Governor Roland came.

Many people are dissatisfied with Roland's character and life style, but they know that Roland has the ability to influence Alina's determination, and he can even make the decision for Count Sif.

Only Roland can strike a balance between these two women.

After careful consideration by the remaining officials of Xidai City, Xidai Mayor Sheila hosted a banquet for Roland on behalf of him.

This choice is very particular.

If Roland is given a banquet by the remaining A1-level officials (national level), firstly, the levels are not equal, and secondly, there is no room for recovery once the negotiation breaks down.

If the person who hosted Roland's banquet was too low-level, it would be disrespectful to Roland.

After much deliberation, only the A2-level Mayor Xi Dai is the most suitable.

As the powerful mayor of the capital, he is an A2-level official, on the same level as Roland.

He has a high rank, but is only a mayor in name.

It is very appropriate that the mayor of the occupied city entertains the head of the occupying army at a banquet.

If the negotiation fails, the speaker can also invite the speaker.

When the invitation was delivered to Roland's residence, Roland was reviewing the war with Sif.

The two placed chess pieces on the sand table to conduct a review.

It's okay not to deduce it, but once I deduce it, I realize that this war is really dangerous, and winning is really a matter of luck.

This is also normal.

They only have the resources of three and a half provinces, and they have just taken over.

If Jin Yuan can be defeated with the resources of three and a half provinces, there must be something wrong within Jin Yuan.

If he had launched the attack a few months earlier, Marco would not have offended everyone, and naturally there would not be so many people who would defect in the face of battle.

If the attack was launched a few months later, and Marco eliminated dissidents and completely took control of power, the overall strength of the Jin Yuan Kingdom would also increase significantly, and they would probably not have a chance.

Just as the two of them were getting more and more sweaty as they reviewed the discussion, the housekeeper of Xida Mayor Sheila arrived with an invitation letter.

After accepting the invitation, Roland smiled and asked Sif, "What do you think he invited us for?"

"There's no need to guess. He must want us to get out of here quickly." Sif teased with a smile.

"No, I think they are in trouble for Alina's reputation."

"What do you think we should do? I told Alina to take the throne, but she refused."

The corners of Roland's lips raised slightly, and he said softly: "She may ascend the throne, but not today. I have an idea, let Alina inherit her father's title of liberator."

"what?"

Sif was completely stunned. Can such an honorary title be inherited?
