I, who became the queen of subjugation, can see the barrage

Since she has the ambition to get involved in the Grand Duke's position, she naturally has some means. She has already extended her hand into the army.

At this critical moment, it was time for her to mobilize her strength in the army.

"By the way." Verna smiled and said, "Bennett has already regarded me as one of his side. There's something to do."

Werna understood that if Amelia really wanted to make some preparations, she could only help her, after all, they had already signed a contract.

She, Verna, is Amelia's ally.

"I understand the situation, so let me wait and see." Amelia looked out the window.

The wind seems to be getting faster.

Volume 103 The Throne of Silence: Chapter [-] Bloody Beard City, Competition for the Next Grand Duke

Verna didn't stay with Amelia for too long, and after finishing what she was supposed to say, Verna left. At this juncture, she also had to make more preparations for herself.

Not long after Werna left, the news about Grand Duke Ogden's death finally spread to all parts of Beard City.

All of a sudden, there was an uproar in Beard City!

At night, the news of Grand Duke Ogden's death was published in various evening papers, the musicians in the city played sad music, and the bards sang about Ogden's exploits.

Grand Duke Ogden, who has been in power for 30 years, has not done any dazzling things, but he has not made any big mistakes. For the citizens of the Luban Principality, he is still a pretty good ruler.

Therefore, Ogden's death will inevitably cast a haze over the entire city.

More importantly, Ogden has not yet decided on the next Grand Duke.

So who will be the next Grand Duke?

This question was inevitably brought up, and became the most heated topic in Beard City.

"No matter how you look at it, you should support His Royal Highness Bennett's ascension to the throne, right?"

"His Royal Highness Bennett has outstanding abilities and is the most suitable."

"I think His Royal Highness Vincent is also good."

"I do think..."

There are discussions all over the city, and Bennett is undoubtedly the most vocal person, with an endless stream of supporters.

But the rest are not without supporters.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was November 11.

The burial of Grand Duke Ogden has been arranged and will take place today.

The weather in Beard City today is cool, the wind is blowing coldly under the cloudy sky, the dewdrops on the branches and leaves condense and linger, and occasionally they fall apart due to a gust of wind.

Princes and princesses, as well as a large number of nobles, all dressed in black, stood outside the castle on the east side of Beard City, waiting for the remains of Grand Duke Ogden to be transported out.

On the north side of the castle, there is a cemetery dedicated to the burial of the grand dukes, where Ogden will be buried.

However, as the Grand Duke, the dead Ogden would not be buried immediately. He had to be taken around Beard City for the citizens to give him a final farewell before he could be finally buried.

During this process, the princes and princesses, as well as many nobles and invited people need to follow along the way.

Amelia also came. Today, she was wearing a black skirt and a black lace wide-brimmed hat. Under the hat, her long hair dyed aqua blue hung down and was gently blown up by the wind.

Her beautiful appearance attracted the attention of some nobles passing by, but because of the special day today, no one would come to strike up a conversation.

Next to Amelia is Irene, who is wearing a black and white maid outfit, following her step by step, cautiously guarding against anyone who passes by her.

"Is it about to start?"

Amelia looked in the direction of the castle, and there were already carriages coming towards her. On one of the carriages without a carriage, there was a black coffin, and the person lying inside was undoubtedly the Grand Duke Ogden.

After looking at the coffin of Grand Duke Ogden, Amelia looked at the many princes and princesses not far away.

At this moment, the princes and princesses lived in peace with each other, as if all their attention was on the farewell to Grand Duke Ogden, but in fact, how many people were thinking about this matter in their hearts?

The competition for the next grand duke has not been carried out on the bright side, but the nobles have already formed their own teams, and the strength of the army is also quietly gathering.

Ordinary civilians may not be able to see anything wrong, but people of any status can sense that a storm has gathered in Beard City.

These guys are all unstable factors.

"Lily, let's get in the car." Verna came to Amelia and said.

Amelia nodded.

She will follow Grand Duke Ogden's coffin with the rest to see him off, which requires a circle around Beard City, and naturally requires a carriage in the process.

The carriages have been prepared one after another. Amelia and Irene entered a carriage, and Verna also entered this carriage. The carriage was driven by Verna's guards.

The rest of the princes and princesses, and even many nobles also entered the carriage one after another.

The coffin containing Grand Duke Ogden was in front, and carriages followed behind. Along the way, there were already a large number of civilians on both sides of the street, watching the coffin of Grand Duke Ogden move forward.

In the carriage, Werna sat beside Amelia, leaned over and whispered: "Amelia, I have found a very important piece of information these days."

"What is it?".

"It's related to Vincent." Verna said with a serious look, "I found out that Vincent also has some involvement in the army."

"army?"

"Yes, there are many of my people in the army, so I found some clues."

She told Amelia about the situation in detail, and said that her people had found out that some members of the army had been bribed. When her people followed this line of investigation, the clue pointed to a noble Viscount named Harley Thomas. .

"Haley, this guy seems to be very neutral on the surface, and he doesn't get close to any princes and princesses, but how can there be absolutely neutral nobles?" Werner couldn't help but sneer when she said this.

When the regime changes, the so-called neutrality does not bring benefits to oneself, because neutrality means instability, and who wants to see the existence of instability?

Those who intend to compete for the position of Grand Duke will not allow a neutral situation, and everyone must have their own position.The so-called neutrality can only mean that I already have a position in my heart, but I just don't want to reveal it.

"This Viscount Harley belongs to Vincent?" Amelia asked.

"That's right, although he concealed it very well, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. This kind of thing can still be found out if you look carefully." Werner said with a serious expression.

"How is Vincent's grasp of the power in the army?"

"I'm not sure about this. After all, the power I have over the army is only part of it."

"Then what did you decide to do after hearing the news?"

"I need your help." Verna looked at Amelia seriously and said, "I need you to disclose this news to Bennett, so that Bennett can deal with Vincent."

Verna can't reveal her situation yet, but Amelia is different. Bennett knows Amelia's identity. As long as Amelia mentions this situation to Bennett, Bennett will Tate would only think that it was the power behind Amelia who found out.

She still needs to continue to hide behind the scenes, intending to let the rest of the competitors fight first, and reap the benefits for herself.

Amelia nodded clearly: "I understand what you mean, but there is one more question."

"what is the problem?"

"Under the current situation, Bennett has received countless gazes. It is not so easy for me to get in touch with him."

Amelia's answer made Verna think.

Amelia continued: "So this matter, you can only tell him yourself. You can say that you got the news from me. I believe Bennett will not doubt it."

"That's okay." Werner thought for a while, and felt that what Amelia said made sense.

And this gave her more extended ideas, that is, any information she found could be said to be from Amelia, and then told Bennett to let Bennett deal with it.

Without Amelia, she obviously couldn't relay the message to Bennett so easily.

This made her feel that it was very correct for her to find Amelia to join forces. With Amelia, she would not become restrained and difficult to perform in many things.

Thinking of this, Werna said: "Amelia, you help me become the Grand Duke. When you restore your country in the future, I will also do my best to help you successfully restore your country."

Amelia nodded with a smile.

==========

By the time the coffin of Grand Duke Ogden circled Beard City, a day was almost over.

Accompanied by the light of dusk, everyone finally arrived at the north side of the Grand Duke's castle and the Grand Duke's cemetery.

After getting out of the carriage, Amelia looked to the side, and it happened that Bennett got off from the other carriage next to her.

Seeing Bennett, Verna walked over directly and whispered something next to Bennett, even Amelia, who was not very far away, couldn't hear their communication clearly.

In fact, what Werner said was that Vincent had bribed people in the army.

As Bennett listened, he couldn't help being surprised: "Is it Vincent? This guy actually wants to get his hands on the position of Grand Duke?"

Werner nodded and said: "That's right, this guy hides very deeply, even the army has taken action. We have reason to believe that he has more preparations in other aspects, so we have to guard against it."

Bennett became cautious in his heart.

Although he is the most vocal prince, at this time, he understands that he has to be careful, and he has reached the last moment, but he must not overturn at the last moment.

but……

"Is this what Amelia told you?" Bennett asked in a low voice.

"Yes, this is all found out by Amelia. She feels that it is inconvenient to contact you at the moment, so as not to be noticed, so let me pass this matter on." Verna replied affirmatively.

"Is it……"

Bennett glanced at Amelia without leaving a trace, somewhat alert in his heart.

Because what Werna said just now is a matter within the army, and it is still a very secret matter. If they hadn't penetrated to a certain extent with the army of the Principality of Luban, they would not be able to understand this matter at all.

Amelia is obviously a subjugated queen, even with the support of elves behind her, how can she infiltrate the army of Luban Duchy to such a degree?

Bennett felt more and more that Amelia was not simple.

Amelia shouldn't have any thoughts about Luban Duchy, right?

Bennett couldn't help feeling a little worried. If he could sign a contract with Amelia under the witness of God, then he wouldn't have to worry about this issue, but their contract couldn't be signed for a long time.

There are many eyes staring at me now, and it is difficult for me to get in touch with Amelia, so as to sign a contract...

'As long as Amelia won't be my enemy for the time being, then don't worry too much, she should support me now.With the power I currently have, it is enough to deal with the rest of the competitors. '

Bennett thought to himself, feeling that there was no need to worry too much.

Not long after, Grand Duke Ogden was successfully buried, and after leaving a certain number of people to guard the cemetery, everyone left one after another after the night emerged.

==========

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was November 11rd.

In just two days, Beard City can be described as changing and turbulent.

The Seventh Prince was found dead on the street in the early morning, with whip marks all over his body.

The fourth princess hanged herself to death in her own residence, whether she committed suicide is open to question.

The Ninth Prince was hit to death by a carriage in the street. The murderer had committed suicide, and it was unknown who the instigator was.

two days!

In just two days, princes and princesses died one after another.

And there are quite a few nobles who died due to various strange reasons, and the whole Beard City is like a bloody vortex.

Vincent, who played an important role in this, was standing in an alley wearing a cloak, holding the neck of a fat man in his hands, and lifting him up high.

"Earl Guyon, who do you support, why not support Bennett? Then I can only let you bid farewell to this world."

Accompanied by the indifferent words, Vincent exerted force in his hands, and the sound of bones breaking immediately came out, making the fat man unable to struggle any more.

Throwing the corpse aside casually, Vincent glanced around indifferently. Apart from the fat man, there were many corpses in the alley, and they were all the fat man's guards.

"Your Highness, I have something important to report." Viscount Harry Thomas asked standing behind.

"What is it?" Vincent asked.

"Someone has been investigating us recently, and the identity is currently unknown, but some things about us in the army may have been exposed." Harley said in a deep voice.

"Really?" Vincent narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.

Not enough time.

If he is given enough time, he can definitely arrange various things more properly, but now, the strength he has accumulated can deal with the rest of the people, but it is too reluctant to deal with Bennett.

"It seems that we can only take a slant." Vincent said in a deep voice: "It is likely that Bennett is investigating us, and he suspects us. In this case, we can only attack Bennett earlier."

Two princes, a princess, and many nobles died these days, many of whom were killed by him, Vincent, but a considerable number of people died because of nothing to do with him.

He figured it was probably Bennett who was cutting out competitors too.
