Episode 16: Regime Control

Carmine and Joamel returned to me when the attendees screamed.

In a vortex of confusion, the two shouted in unison.

"" Carmine (Joamel), you plotted it!!

And the two of them are surprised that their voices were worn.

Carmine assumed that "Sonia tied with Joamel and planned the assassination of Hilderick II," while Joamel also assumed that "Carmine used Sonia as an assassin for the seizure of the throne".

But as far as how they were concerned, it didn't seem like they were plotting anything.

"Oh, Sonia!! You, what have you done now..."

"If you don't want to waste your life, don't move. My lord."

One of the Red Wolves' crew, who had been given a seat in the venue to celebrate Sonia's marriage, threatened with a sword on Carmine's back trying to cram him into Sonia.

"I think this kind of thing is acceptable..."

Joamel had also been stabbed with a sword by another crew member.

When he realized, the twenty Red Wolves who were in the venue had pulled out their swords and held the attendees in their custody.

... No, it's not just the Red Wolves crew.

Several other - at least ten - Beast (Warbeast) aristocrats have pulled out their swords and threatened other aristocrats.

The venue was completely taken over by Sonia and one of its factions.

"Father, if you don't want to die, listen to me"

"Then, fool... you, where you temporarily occupied this place, you will not be spared the ruin of yourself..."

said Carmine with a blue-white face.

"There are many soldiers of the Gayseria family in the King's capital, whom I have brought! You'll hear the noise soon enough."

"Yeah, I know. Father, I've brought more than five hundred people with me."

This is for an escort...

It was also to show other houses the military power of the Gayseria family.

They are all heavily armed cavalry and elite.

"Lord!!

While doing so, an armed knight entered the venue.

The armor depicts the family crest of the Gayseria family.

He is out of the minister's house for the Gayserian family tree bill and is an excellent knight leader.

Relief spreads among the participants…

but only Carmine noticed the discomfort.

For some reason there is blood on the knights' armor.

That's not all.

Somehow, he barely walked through a group of Sonians and walked straight to Sonia and Carmine.

And he...

Against Sonia, I fell on one knee.

"Lord, control in the castle, done. We've already got 5000 Gaycerian soldiers and 5000 other Allied aristocrats coming together."

"Nice."

Sonia had a full smile.

Then throw Hilderick II's neck over him.

"Please clean this up first"

"Yes, sir."

He clutteringly grabs Hilderick II's neck.

And now I try to leave.

On that back, Carmine said, yelling.

"You! What are you going to do!!

"Is this... a former (...) lord? I'm sorry, but now I must fulfill the life of my new lord, Sonia, and I beg your pardon."

That said, he leaves the venue.

At the same time, a variety of knights, armored with the family crest of the Gayseria family, come and take the attendees.

"Former lord, obey"

"Can you obey!! You betrayed me!!

Carmine tries to force the knights to restrain herself and take her.

but Sonia said coldly against such a father.

"I betrayed your father."

"Hey, say what..."

"Few sacrifices have also been made to the knights who serve our homes. Nonetheless, you turned a blind eye to the ministers and dawned on the political controversy in the king's capital. … it was really easy to take control of territory while you were gone."

"What..."

If Sonia was right, all the territory and soldiers of the House of Gayseria would have been taken away.

"That's not all. A small number of aristocrats agree with me. Right?"

Sonia said, several attendees nodded.

Half of them were from the faction of Carmine, and the other half... from the faction of Joamel.

Not only Carmine, but Joamel was also "eating” his faction by Sonia.

"Already soldiers and allied nobles under my command are on their way to dominate this king's capital. I tell you, my comrades are not the only ones here. Rather… be aware that there are only a large number of people who are unable to attend the wedding"

So light...

The kingdom of Cerda has fallen into Sonia's hands.

Well, 1,000 soldiers took control of the city of Cerda.

Sonia then laid down martial law immediately.

The roads and checkpoints leading to every king's capital were sealed off, and the harbour was temporarily forbidden from entering and leaving the ship.

Sonia's information management was perfect, and the details of the coup never leaked outside the King's Capital.

Neither were the secret detectives who were sneaking into the city of Cerda at the time, so much so that they could not pass on the incident that occurred in the Wang capital to Erkür.

And made the nobles gather into the great hall.

The Sonian small and medium-sized aristocrats remained alert to the area with their swords on, and the non-Sonians, mainly the great aristocrats, including Joamel and Carmine, came with their arms tied and their swords poked at by the Red Wolves.

The majority of the main nobles of the Kingdom of Cerda were gathered here.

Sonia, who had recently changed from a dress to a military uniform, stood before the nobles and said:

"Well... as you all know, our king, His Majesty Hilderick II, has died in an accidental accident"

It was a really white word.

but no one criticized Sonia.

Because there were those who were killed for having already defied Sonia many times.

"Well... the throne of the Kingdom of Cerda is now vacant. Traditionally, Hilderick II and those closest in blood should inherit the throne… His Majesty has no son, no brother"

Sonia said sadly.

"I founded my country, the direct blood of my fathers. The blood of the Geysaric family has ceased."

The one who stops, but smiles.

"But don't worry. My direct line went down, but my father's blood didn't disappear anymore. And when it comes to the house closest to the royal family... does that mean my Gaycerian family?

Of course, under this circumstance, Carmine can't be on the throne.

If so, just one.

The only thing I can wear to the throne is... Sonia.

"But I don't have the confidence to serve as king for you. … So here, in accordance with the ancient tradition of our Beasts (Warbeast), and in accordance with the Ancient Beasts (Warbeast) Act, we elect a king in the King's election… As the wife of that person, I am going to support this country as co-ruler, what do you say?

King's election.

In other words, by discussion and vote, it is a system that determines its own monarchs.

It may seem like an odd system, but in fact, such a king's election is never uncommon in history.

For example, the Beastly Nation (Warbeast) countries, which are now the hereditary kingdoms, also used to elect kings in the King's election.

Other nomadic Bulgaron kingdoms are formally king elections.

Emperor Lemuria was also created under the republican electoral system, if it were to be the original.

"No dissent!

"Good idea!

"Then surely a king will be chosen who everyone will be convinced!

"If Sonia were to marry that person, our father's blood would never stop!

And someone said.

"So who is the one our king deserves? What do you think of Sonia?

Sonia was deliberate...... very deliberate and bothered me.

Of course, the Sonians already know the conclusions.

Carmine and Joamel are the only ones who don't know what to conclude.

"So..."

Sonia sporadically messed up, she said.

"What about His Majesty Elkhur I, the agent of the earth on behalf of God and protector of Mesianism? There shouldn't be any problems with your blood muscles, your abilities or anything."

Carmine and Joamel were stunned by Sonia's suggestion.

The other non-Sonians open their mouths gently, even though they didn't think the name would come up.

but the Sonians had already been heard that the name would come up.

Therefore, I scream as the script suggests.

"Fantastic!"

"The emperor will surely enrich our country!

"Long live the Kingdom of Cerda!!

"Long live His Majesty King Erkür!!

"Long live Her Majesty Queen Sonia!!

Hail concurrently begins the chanting.

And...

The Red Wolves brought the sword that was poking at the non-Sonian nobles even closer.
