She Is Not a Witch

Titania, in the Rose Palace.

The former throne of the twins has now been taken away, and now there is only the one and highest throne.

The black marble seat is definitely not comfortable, it is very cold, only behind it is a red background and gold-edged curtain, with a blood moon pattern entwined with roses.

A young man with short black hair is sitting on the throne at the moment, with his hands resting on the armrests, his gaze slowly sweeps over the nobles and officers below,

After taking full control of the imperial capital Titania, the nobles and officers in the city were summoned, and on both sides of the hall were guards standing neatly. They were different from the red-clothed guards in the Rose Palace in the past, wearing silver-white metal armor , the cloak on the back is also dominated by ice blue, with frosty white roses and moon printed on it.

These bodyguards all come from noble families. They may be the second sons or adopted sons of the family. They have no titles or inheritance rights, but they have excellent knowledge and fighting qualities. After the new emperor ascends the throne, they will become the backbone of the new emperor's support.

In the silent and solemn hall of the emperor, the ceremony officer began to announce the turmoil and change of the royal family.

"Brothers Edron and Emmank poisoned the previous emperor with extremely despicable means 16 years ago, and murdered the former crown prince Ansair and Ansroy during the concluding holy wedding ceremony to usurp the throne, Deceived the entire empire and killed countless loyal and honorable nobles."

"Since then, the two have led and launched the largest expedition of the empire since the 'Battle of the Broken Bow', wasting countless manpower and materials, causing many innocent nobles and imperial people to die in battle. Moreover, because of the ignorant rule of the two, making The Empire was defeated by the Snow Flower Seven Kingdoms and signed an extremely shameful contract, which shamed and humiliated the glory of the Empire for nearly a thousand years."

"But God bless Hongyue, the emperor's orthodox bloodline has not been cut off, and the crown prince Ansroy still has descendants."

"Now, under the sword held by the real king of the empire, many loyal and honorable nobles set things right, overthrow the rule of the false king, behead the Edron brothers, and restore the sacred throne of the empire to orthodoxy."

"Now, let us swear in unison!"

"Glory to unity, the rose blood moon will not fall into the world."

"We will follow your will forever, until the end of the world and the last sunset!"

"We will always follow your will until the end of the world and the final sunset!" Nearly a thousand people under the stage swore in unison, and the sound resounded through the hall and the dome.

Outside this glorious and lofty imperial hall, black soldiers stood in the square, lined up neatly, with flags fluttering, they also shouted in unison in this echo, and the mighty sound was like waves, passing through the millions A huge imperial capital where people gather.

Brothers Amanke and Edron, who were regarded as the masters of ZTE in the past, lost their prestige after the failure of the empire's great expedition. One died in an assassination and the other in a coup d'état. Everything they created will also be destroyed. Rewritten by the new emperor, it became a shameful and dark part of the history of the empire.

For an empire that has prospered for nearly a thousand years, its people regard themselves as the only masters on the continent, glorious and noble, and that kind of pride and self-confidence have long been carved into their bones. If an emperor cannot bring victory, no matter how kind and good he is, he will not be able to convince the people.

It is the tradition of the empire to worship and obey the strong, and it is also the root of all systems and pursuits.

———

After the first meeting of the empire ended, it was already dusk, and the magnificent purple sunset glow burned in the sky, and a little light shone into the newly set study room.

There was no electric light in the room, and the young man who had just enthroned was leaning on the back of his chair, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

No matter how talented he is, when he faced the attention of countless noble soldiers in the imperial capital for the first time, he had to be highly nervous, always grasping the posture and details to match the majesty of a king. After the process was over, he was exhausted.

At this time, Anna was carefully and gently helping him to soothe his forehead and relieve his fatigue, but not long after, the door of the study was still knocked open.

"Please come in." The maid Anna put down her comforting hand and went to open the door.

Seeing this ordinary-looking maid, the noble officer who reported was a little surprised and curious, but he didn't ask at the moment, but turned his eyes to the young king who was already seated.

Although the new emperor seemed to be more than five years younger than himself, the officer still bowed his head in awe and reported.

"Your Majesty, we have wiped out the remnants of Brother Aimanke in the imperial capital and killed them all."

"All?" Elio's simple question made the officer's heart tighten, and he thought carefully.

"General Severey is currently not in the city, but other nobles loyal to Brother Edron have been removed."

"Where is Queen Lily and that child?"

"According to our search, they fled outside the city through a secret passage dug earlier, and now we don't know which direction they are going. However, we have organized nearly 200 search teams and have set off along the main roads and checkpoints to search for them. them."

After the report, Elio did not judge or reply immediately, the room was very quiet, and at this time the noble officer did not dare to look up, he could only wonder in his heart, whether the emperor did not catch him Lily and the prince are dissatisfied.

During this short silence, every minute and every second seemed to be suffering, which made his forehead start to sweat, and he even had a premonition that he might be executed by the tyrant.

"Go down."

"Yes, Your Majesty." As if escaping from heaven, the noble officer quickly left the study with his drenched back, and was watched by a group of rime guards stationed there to escape.

"Elio learned so fast, so powerful." After the outsiders left, a maid with silver-purple hair appeared in the study, landed slowly, and then jumped lightly to come behind Elio and surround him.

"In fact, being an emperor is like this. You can't let the people below know your mood and emotions easily. If they are familiar with everything about you and can predict many of your behaviors, then you will become a puppet under their manipulation."

"So, keep it mysterious, unknown, majestic, so that rule can be established."

"I feel so tired." Elio took Konos's hand, released it from his shoulders, and then lay down on the desk, just wanting to have a good sleep. The exhaustion from the previous battle had not completely disappeared.

"It will be very tiring at first, but you will get used to it later." Kornos lightly jumped, sat on Elio's desk, and began to look through some documents reported, including the statistics after the house raid, and There is a list of characters that need to be purged.

"Well, these guys are fairly honest, and they haven't dared to be greedy, hee hee." Kornos said briskly, shaking her legs.

Then she put it down before talking about where she was just now.

"I went to find Lily's mother and son, and I know roughly where they went. However, Elio, you haven't told me what you plan to do with their mother and son. Let this be your first test of becoming an emperor."

Hearing this, Elio had to raise his head, but he didn't answer immediately. Instead, he stood up from the chair, walked slowly to the window, and looked at the bustling eaves and sunset scenery outside the window.

"Actually, I don't know how to deal with their mother and child."

"Edron and Emmank murdered my father and Uncle Ansair in partnership. I have no other idea of ​​revenge on them."

"However, Lily is different. She was married by Amanke as queen later, and she was pretty good during her reign. She tried her best to do some compassionate things for the people, such as leading the opening of nursery schools and helping many poor children Get an education. Even myself, I have been taught letters and numbers for a few months in a kindergarten in the city."

"Because I know simple characters and can do simple arithmetic, I was able to get a reasonable remuneration from the stores I acquired, which made me survive the most difficult period." Elio said about the difficult life in his youth.

"This made it very difficult for me to deal with their mother and child, and it also caused me to avoid sending people to hunt and kill them during the palace change."

"So, because of your kindness, they were able to escape from the imperial capital. However, have you carefully considered the consequences of doing so?"

"Brother Edron has a good relationship with the Griffin family, and also has a good relationship with the Duke of Raven in the north. If their mother and son raise their arms, together with the former remnants, a little carelessness can split the empire."

"Even though Edron may seem incompetent to outsiders, he has actually become a mature king after going through the training and tempering of the Western Expedition. The nobles began to side with him, and these men gained military power en masse."

"If it weren't for our intervention, he might really be able to stabilize the empire, but that kind of stability is destined to be a stability that is constantly heading towards the end."

"Although he is dead now, but Lily's child is still alive, the hope of those remaining party members will not be cut off." Kornos analyzed from the side.

"I know." Elio quietly looked at the sunset outside the window.

What Kornos said was true. If Lily's mother and child did not die, the empire would eventually lead to a great war, and the country would even be divided as a result, and everyone would be caught in a brutal slaughter.

Politics and power have always been so cruel that no surprises or challenges can be tolerated.

"The emperor is really ruthless..." He sighed in a low voice, then turned around.

"Let Darcy lead the most elite cavalry to catch up with their mother and son, and they must be killed during the journey."

He promised Sister Anna that he wanted to build a happy and stable country. This ideal came first in his heart. If anything stood in the way, he had to make up his mind.

If fulfilling this beautiful dream is destined to bear sin, then let me bear it.

A long time ago, Elio understood that kindness is actually a luxury quality, which can only be developed by a rich, stable and harmonious life.

When the food to maintain life is in short supply, people will become uglier and more ferocious than beasts, and the torment of hunger and pain in their stomachs will easily crush the so-called morality.

Therefore, this kind of personality is only suitable for an orderly and stable life. When he embarked on the road of fighting for the throne and controlling the empire, many qualities had to be said goodbye to him.

In order to open up a country for good people to live in, then you have to be more unkind than anyone else. You must be very clear about the existence of treachery and evil, strip these rotten existences from the country, and eliminate all kinds of hidden loopholes to create Stable and reliable order, only in this way can we approach success step by step.

After Elio finished the order, he didn't dare to look up at the head maid beside him. The feeling of exposing his ugliness in front of the person he liked was like being baked under the scorching sun, which was unbearable.

"Don't be like this, Elio."

Kornos came to Elio and bent down, then looked up at that face, and pinched the boy's cheek with her hand, so that he could not immerse himself in the previous heaviness and guilt.

"You are the emperor, although I often say, what to do, but that is just my suggestion."

"If you firmly believe that this is unreasonable and you don't like it, then reject it. You are the emperor, you are more free and unrestrained than anyone else, and you can shape the country into your ideal appearance."

"You don't have to obey the shackles of the so-called rules. Of course, I mean, you can easily bear and settle the consequences of breaking the rules. If any rules can't be broken, then it's not the emperor."

"So, as long as you have a decision in your heart, you don't have to listen to me in everything. I am by your side because I want to see the growth and rise of a peerless king, and then have a magnificent life of struggle, not just want to have a The worm who keeps answering my words, although Elio is very cute, is definitely not a worm, haha~"

The petite witch with silver-purple hair comforted the young man who had just ascended the throne with her capricious and sweet voice, and the latter also slowly came out of the immersion.

But when he thought of his expression just now and the thoughts in his mind, the king seemed to become ashamed again, and just wanted to cover his forehead and stay quietly for a while.

"Okay, okay, I'm going out with Sister Anna, let you calm down for a while, hee hee." Seeing that Elio returned to his usual appearance, Konos laughed lightly, and then pulled Anna out of the study .

Passing through the corridor in the palace, they came to a secluded courtyard, where Konos and Anna sat down side by side.

"Elio is working hard." Looking at the stars gradually appearing in the sky, Konos said this.

"He was actually a simple child before." Anna shook her head slightly, as if she didn't like Knoss dragging Elio into the disputes of the empire.

"Yes, but, he will still grow up, and it is impossible to maintain such a simple appearance forever." Knoss' voice was clear and innocent.

"It feels like sister Anna is very wary of me and sees me as a demon who tempts Elio." Her voice has a small complaint.

"Master Kornos is a witch. You gave me my life again. Naturally, I will not slander and hate you. But your existence is a huge impact on Elio."

"Maybe you don't realize it yourself, what kind of miracle or miracle it is to resurrect the dead, make the living immortal, and live forever."

"Even if Elio has royal blood~www.readwn.com~ and can grow rapidly, it is based on the perspective of a normal person, and your existence is beyond the worldview he once constructed and his views on everything."

"Even if you think it's just an unintentional joke or question, he will think it over and over again and take it seriously."

"And your face and figure are so beautiful. For a 16-year-old boy, he will instinctively like and please you. Putting these together, you want Elio to become an independent king on the one hand. , but constantly seduce him, which is actually contradictory and will put Elio in trouble."

"How dare you say it, Sister Anna, you mean that I am the root of the cholera country." Kornos's eyes were like light purple gemstones in the night, making it difficult to see whether they were angry or joking. .

"However, since Sister Anna has said so, then I will obediently be a little maid in the future. Who told you to be the head maid. I only need to be responsible for serving and fulfilling the orders of the master."

After finishing speaking, the silver-purple maid jumped off the stone chair and disappeared into the hazy night like a purple firefly.
