On the Seven Towers

At noon, the bell rang throughout the royal capital, announcing the death of the king. The big bell on the roof of the palace wing was rung nine times, nine times each time.

For most people, this will have no impact on their lives, but for others, today will be a turning point.

"What does the bell mean?" Katerina asked.

"The king is finally dead and now the princess is the queen," Garno said.

"Is this the death knell?" Li Tianrui asked.

"That's right. Nine times and nine tones is the highest standard, which means the king is dead. Eight times and eight tones means the queen, hehe, but since the queen died, the bell has not rang once," Garneau said.

In front of them, a group of Knights of the Sun on horseback were galloping past them, rushing towards the battlefield not far away, joining the battle that Garno had just caused.

To be fair, many of the middle- and high-level knights who rushed there were there to stop the fight, but no matter how generous and good-tempered they were, they could not withstand the deliberate provocation of some people in the Knights of the Raging Waves. As a result, the war situation intensified, from a dozen people to hundreds of people, from one battlefield to several battlefields.

"I never thought that the knights of the temple could be so violent," Katarina said.

"In the final analysis, they are still rough. They are no different from those guys in the army or mercenary groups who have muscles in their heads. It's okay if someone has restraints, but if there is no restraint, they can do anything. This kind of group fight, It’s not just once or twice, there have been cases of people being stabbed before,” Gano said.

"Not all armies are like this." Li Tianrui said.

"Is it possible that your army doesn't fight in groups?" Gano asked.

Li Tianrui was stunned and had nothing to say.

"Of course the real army of God is not like this. These people just have a name and are not the real warriors of God." The indifferent war angel Anal said from the side.

"It sounds like you are." Gano sneered and said, "Let's go. Let's go to the city gate. The two captains were just called to a meeting by Mr. Roland. No one can control them now. That Queen Your Majesty doesn’t need to count on their strength today.”

The four of them came to the west gate, which was closer to the market, and saw a group of city guards and a group of Sun Knights guarding there. At this time, a Knight of the Sun on horseback came running from a distance. He turned over and dismounted and shouted to the people at the door: "No! Centurion Rachel was knocked unconscious. We need more manpower." Support, come with me!"

"What's going on!" the team leader guarding the door asked with a fierce face, "What's going on in this panic?"

The visitor gasped and said: "The fight started, the fight started. Those bastards of the Knights of the Raging Waves provoked us. They said they wanted us to vomit out everything we had eaten in the past few days. Rachel Centurion was originally He went to start a fight, but he was attacked by the opponent and knocked unconscious. Now he is still in the opponent's hands. We have to call someone to snatch him back. "

"This..., how could this happen? Could it be that Nu Tao rebelled?"

"No, it's the same as before, except this time the people in Raging Waves are playing really crazy, as if they want to crush us."

The squad leader said angrily: "You want to ride on us? You are really tired of living."

He called his men to gather: "The centurion was beaten, we have to take revenge, follow me!"

The Knights of the Burning Sun left like the wind, leaving about twenty city guards and a few imperial guards standing there at a loss.

"Well, it seems that my mission has been completed. You can rush out if necessary. These people in front of you..." He glanced at Anal, "I guess they are not enough for this eldest sister to fill her teeth. "

————————————

At this moment, Princess Laura has legally become the queen of this country, sitting on the main seat of the palace meeting hall, surrounded by important ministers of the kingdom. This position used to belong to her father, but now it belongs to her.

This world is not like Europe in the Middle Ages. Natural temples do not have much ability to interfere with the inheritance of royal power. The queen only needs to hold a coronation ceremony herself to complete the transfer of the throne. Even without the ceremony, she has truly gained authority.

This can also be seen from the names that other people called her. Marquis Francisco said: "Your Majesty, today is the day when Your Majesty the King returns to the embrace of the God of Nature. Do you think the day of Liu Pengfei's trial will be pushed back?" Push? It seems a little inappropriate today?”

"No, it's just right." Although Princess Laura is less than seventeen years old, after being carefully dressed, she looks mature and stable, and her movements are already quite majestic. "The capital is not peaceful now. Our most dangerous enemy is still lurking in the city. This trial is our established plan. With so many actors in place, we can’t just say it won’t happen, Landines, what do you think?”

The commander of the city guard, Marquis Landines, nodded and said: "Of course, Her Majesty the Queen, we have made complete preparations. If it is not held today, a lot of efforts will be in vain."

The Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Duke Beles of Rock Castle, frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any special plans? Why haven't we received the news?"

Princess Laura showed a reserved smile, "Because dear former Prime Minister, you are also part of the plan."

"What did you say!" Byleth stood up suddenly and was about to retreat, but at this time Master Salmeron behind the princess raised his hand and waved, and a stream of fighting spirit hit Byleth's chest. The Duke, who was at the level of a mid-level warrior, was immediately out of breath and could not move. Marquis Landines drew out a sword and pressed it against his waist. He shouted outside the door, and a team of guards rushed in.

"Laura! Do you want to declare war on Rock Castle?" Duke Byleth shouted fiercely.

"Beleth, you may not know that your eldest son had an accident while hunting a few days ago, and I have decided to let your second son Holva inherit the title. I have met with him, and he is a loyal and reliable young man. And he promised me to atone for what you did. Whether it is the military pay that was embezzled or the slaves that were stolen, he will compensate me at the price to alleviate your sins."

"You! You!" The old duke just said two words, then covered his chest and fell to the ground. The Duke, who had a bad heart, finally couldn't hold on after being hit.

However, everyone present watched the Duke twisting on the ground, but no one dared to say a word until Byleth's body could no longer be.

"Everyone, it seems that our former Prime Minister still knows shame. Dying in shame is the best redemption for his sins. No doubt, I have sufficient evidence to prove that he deserves to die. Of course... In addition to his evidence, I have something else." The Queen's eyes swept over everyone present. Some people were restless, and some were sweating.

"But it's not time yet. We have something more important to do today..." The Queen said with a smile. She knew that these guys who relied on their age and seniority were finally controlled by her.

But at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. The person who helped her arrange all this was going to be hanged this afternoon, and his death just became a means for her to attract everyone's attention, so that she could eliminate those old things who wanted to climb over her head according to his plan.

It's really ironic.
