Saint?Just a bad woman

The woman gave a sadistic smile and gave orders.

"Yes, Lady Ruby."

Another communications soldier was submissive.He didn't dare to say a word for fear of being offended.

He didn't want to follow in the footsteps of his colleagues so soon. The expression on his face was impeccable, as if no one had died just now and nothing had happened.

"Okay, now that the passage has been opened, let me see the end of that old man."

The red-haired woman, Ruby, stepped forward.

Her eyes were deep, looking at the chaotic palace, listening to the painful sound blown by the wind, her heart was still.

Finally...she's back.After being deported and imprisoned for so many years, she finally returned from the border city.

Seeing this beautiful city in flames of war, she had no pity or regret at all. In her heart, there was only the burning flame of revenge.

She wanted to take back everything she had lost.Let the old man see the serious consequences of the wrong things he has done.

The seeds of hatred were planted and have now taken root. Now, Ruby felt that it was a good time to meet the aloof old emperor and reap the fruits.

The majestic emperor should be replaced.

……

In the palace, the old emperor was dealing with political affairs and had to go to the morning court every day, which had become a mess.

The flames of war burned throughout Faroe, all the way to the palace gates.If it weren't for the imperial guards and generals who were resisting at the door, those thugs would have rushed in long ago.

"Don't any of you know exactly who is commanding?!"

In the court hall, the old emperor's angry voice was deafening.

As a huge country, the Toland Empire suffered not only the capital Faro. When the messengers came to report, they wanted to ask several surrounding cities to send troops to support them, and all those cities fell into riots.

There is even no news from some cities...probably, they have been captured.

"Sorry, Your Majesty... I am incompetent."

Those ministers under the throne, you look at me, I look at you.They looked at each other, but no one could tell the identity of the intruder.

"These thugs came too suddenly... However, based on their fighting style, they are very similar to our regular army in the Tolan Empire. We suspect that they may be retired veterans and rebels."

An old general who had led the army stood up. He has now retired and is looking for a job in the court.

"Oh my God. Rebels! Look at what you are doing each and every day. Is peace destroying your brains? It's not an invasion by a foreign enemy, it's actually a rebel army!"

When the old emperor heard the news, he was not happy at all, but became even more angry.

His white beard trembled with anger and stood on end, obviously he was so angry that he couldn't understand.

"I am incompetent! Your Majesty, please calm down!"

They were not good at doing things, but when they said they were incompetent, they all knelt down on the ground together, looking very majestic.

The roaring mountains and tsunami are more neat than the harvested golden wheat fields.

What they did was for themselves, so that the old emperor, who liked peace and behaved like a benevolent monarch after middle age, would not chop off their heads to vent his anger.

"Oh, this really opened my eyes. It's a mess outside, there are riots everywhere, people are miserable, and their wives and children are scattered. Our Emperor, the famous monarch of the Tolan Empire, is actually in his own home Showing prestige in the palace."

When everyone was kneeling, the only standing figure stood out.

It was a charming female voice that would make one's bones tingle upon hearing it. She seemed to have just arrived. From the shadows, her steps were filled with wind, and she walked out beautifully.

Red hair and red eyes are a symbol of the royal family.The woman's face is very similar to Curtis, a beautiful face.

The old emperor's initially wary eyes instantly became shocked, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"What? We haven't seen each other for twelve or thirteen years, and your memory has declined to this extent? You don't even recognize your own daughter?"

Ruby's lips curved into a sarcastic smile, and her words were extremely sharp, not giving any face.

"Ruby..."

"Well, it seems that you are not old enough to lose your memory, Your Majesty."

"No... no, why did you appear here? The palace is in such chaos now, you shouldn't appear here. And you are not..."

"Why can't I be here? I'm not supposed to be in jail at the border. Right?"

At this point, Ruby's sarcastic smile disappeared and turned into a frosty expression.

"I owe half of the credit for the prosperity of this empire. When I was young, I fought in wars and then threw them away. As expected of the great emperor of the Tolan Empire, he turned his back and was ruthless, even abandoning his daughter. He is truly a cold-blooded royal creature."

The Tolan Empire has lasted for hundreds of years. In the past, human countries were successively invaded by the demons. About 15 years ago, it was the time when the Tolan Empire and the demon army were fighting.

At that time, Ruby was fighting on the front line as a general, commanding her country's army and fighting against the demon army.

However, Ruby's magic is black magic, a forbidden technique that humans are not allowed to learn.She shined in the war, and after the war, she was pushed out and tried for her crime of secretly learning black magic.

However, this is just an attempt to inflict a crime, so there is no reason to worry.Her achievements were enough to offset this small crime.

The problem is that at that time, the Lorian Empire was dominated by treacherous ministers and its national power was declining. It was a good time to be attacked.The old emperor only wanted to maintain peace in his country and did not want to fight a war, but Ruby was a militant and wanted to capture the Lorian Empire and turn the neighboring countries' lands into the territory of the Toland Empire.

She has tasted the sweetness of war and cannot live a boring peaceful life. In addition to the Lorian Empire, she has various plans to conquer other human countries.It started as a quarrel, but then became more and more intense. Ruby even secretly cultivated her own power and wanted to take the throne herself.

Therefore, due to different political opinions and the inability to persuade his daughter, the old emperor could only endure the pain and take a preemptive strike, sending troops to surround his daughter's residence. Like an iron bucket, the encirclement was impregnable, and it was late at night.

This is very unethical, but his daughter is very powerful and deeply loved by the militant faction. If he wants to reduce the loss of national power, he can only use this dishonorable method.

At that time, the old emperor was still in his 50s and in his prime. He easily subdued his daughter.

Ruby probably didn't expect that her father, who always talked about peace, would actually do such a disgraceful thing.

The next step was to impose the shackles of the forbidden demon, under the supervision of the old emperor himself, who would personally put the shackles of humiliation on her.He charged his daughter with learning black magic and treason, demoted her to a commoner and no longer had royal status, and then exiled her to one of the cruelest prisons on the border to serve her sentence.

This was probably because the old emperor couldn't bear to see his daughter suffer in person, or he thought that the militants in Faroe Prison would still rescue his daughter.Not to mention directly robbing the prison, in short, he will keep thinking of ways.

Therefore, for the escort to the border prison, the old emperor sent his most trusted cronies to form a team of less than ten people for secret escort.

This makes it difficult to find the prison where she is being held.

"Time is endless. A young girl was buried in a hellish prison for more than ten years. And her biological father sang and danced every day, shouted for peace, and enjoyed the prosperity after the war without doing anything. .

Her mother, unable to bear the end of her daughter, became depressed and died of illness the following year.There is only a little daughter left who is only a few years old and can barely remember. "

Red eyes with flames blooming in them.That's hate.

"My poor sister, she has lost the protection of her sister and mother, and can only live alone in the palace. And you, seemingly giving her love, obedience, and pampering her to the point of not caring about it, are actually guilty of your own crimes. Compensation. Send a daughter who has done nothing wrong to prison for the rest of her life. She is so young, so talented, and so gifted in magic. You are just comforting your own heart."

Ruby attacked mercilessly, tearing open the stitched wound even further, revealing the secret inside.

Some of the ministers in the court knew the inside story of that year, and most of them had no idea. Over the past ten years, the ministers had changed several times.

They were so shocked that they couldn't even close their mouths, which could hold a big duck egg inside.And their faces were very frightened, as if they were afraid of hearing the royal secrets, whether they would be beheaded, or how on earth this person came back and what he wanted to do when he came back.

What's even more frightening is that the old emperor didn't deny it. He accepted it completely and promised to affirm and apologize.

His old face became even older, as if he had aged more than ten years all of a sudden. His wrinkled face was as wrinkled as tree bark, and his guilt for his daughter was written all over it:

"Ruby, I'm sorry for you, my daughter, this is all my fault, my sin alone.

If I taught you more carefully, you wouldn't want to fight so much.You will love peace more... We will not have the father-daughter relationship we have now...

You were once very talented, and I even wanted to pass the throne to you instead of other children, because your talents are extremely good, whether it is magic, politics, or military. All my children combined are not half as strong as you. .They are not your enemies.

I was already over 50 years old at that time, and you were only in your 20s. If you are not locked up, even if you don’t go to war when I am alive, after my death, no matter who the throne is passed to, it will eventually fall into your hands. .The people of the Tolan Empire will never enjoy a peaceful life, but will be trapped in war all their lives.

People can change, but thoughts cannot be changed..."

The old emperor roared over.

However, Ruby didn't want to hear it.

"You don't need to tell me so much. I have spent so many painful days in that damn prison, isolated from the world. I don't care about peace. I only believe that the winner is king and the loser is king." Kou, old man."

With her face torn apart, Ruby could not even express her respect to His Majesty.

She did not ask her father if the old emperor loved her.Because as early as more than ten years ago, the other party put her in that prison with his own hands and used that despicable method. She knew that whether she loved him or not, it didn't matter.

The other party only has country, peace, and people in mind, not her as a daughter.Even if there is, what is the point of love that is one level or even several levels higher than these things?

For the old emperor and his children, they are also things that can be discarded, and they are not the first priority in their minds.no matter who.

"Curtis, what do you think of her education?"

"I think she's a happy kid."

The old emperor's vicissitudes of life reminded him of Curtis's face, and he showed a doting smile.

That smile was so dazzling and dazzling, at least to Ruby.

"Then let me ask you, why do you only let her study and learn magic like an ordinary noble, but don't teach her any knowledge related to dealing with political and military affairs? Are you afraid? Her body has the same blood as mine. Of blood, if she also learns what I have learned, she will eventually become like me. Even though, she has done nothing."

She knows a lot more.

The old emperor did not deny this answer.This was Ruby's expected answer.

"Old man, you should have guessed my identity. Yes, this time the leader of the thugs and the rebel army is me."

Ruby admitted frankly.

Her eyes were provocative, and she didn't care that everyone present knew her true identity.She acted as if she didn't care that she was going deep alone and was worried about her own safety.

"Really... What a sin. This makes sense. In such a short period of time, Farro was left isolated and helpless, and the surrounding cities were captured with lightning speed.

To be so familiar with the structure of each city, and to be able to enter the palace step by step, it can even be said that it is as easy as going home, stepping into this place, this palace, like a leisurely stroll.Except for those who were once particularly familiar with various cities and the capital Faro, and those who were familiar with the military situation of the Tolan Empire, others simply could not do it. "

From the moment Ruby stepped into the hall and stepped onto the stage from the shadows, the old emperor had actually guessed the identity of the other party.

He knew what his daughter was capable of and knew she could do it.

"I was so soft-hearted at the time that I allowed you to be such a trouble..."

The old emperor's voice was faint and deep, and you couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"Indeed, if I were you, the moment I take action, I should be smart, kill the opponent without leaving any hidden dangers, and ignore the blood relationship. This is the way to be a king."

Ruby was just about to applaud the opponent and give him a wave of excitement.

She was really pissed off and laughed.Until now, what his father wanted was not to make amends, not to be punished for his wrongdoings, but to regret that he had been too merciful in the first place.

"So I said, old man, you and I are actually the same kind of people. We are all thinking about this country, and we can put everything else aside. Including family ties.

However, you have acquired a powerful country in a difficult period, with its national strength reaching its peak and being able to fight fiercely everywhere, but you say you will stop fighting, want peace, and want to give the people a home. You want to be a benevolent king. Isn't this funny?

You have killed so many demons, and even more humans, but you are suddenly as willful as a child, quitting the job, and not allowing others to do it. Are you too old, so old and confused?I am different from you. I want the Tolan Empire to have a wider territory and grab more wealth... After all, this is what you taught me, so that I can only fight, right? "

Ruby, who has experienced blood and fire, can no longer adapt to the boring life of peace.

This was more uncomfortable than letting her go to jail. At least in jail, she could still imagine her revenge after being released from prison.When I think about it this way, I feel much more comfortable, and the difficult time will flow faster.

"Your thoughts make you destined to be a general, not a good monarch."

The old emperor retorted harshly.

However, in front of Ruby at this moment, all his rebuttals were useless.

"I don't need you to tell me whether it's good or not. You're not much better than me. At least I can't sneak attack a person who is dozens of years younger than me and my own daughter. Also, from now on, your palace, Your country, your people, everything about you, is no longer yours. From today on, everything will change their owner and belong to me."

Ruby finally showed her fangs.

She was so ambitious that even more than ten years of imprisonment could not dampen her will, even more so than before.

241. One-on-one battle

Step by step, she walked towards the highest position in the hall.

On top of that is a golden throne, where only the emperor can sit.

"Stop, Ruby, this isn't your place."

The old emperor knew what his daughter wanted to do, so he scolded her sternly.

only.All this was weak and powerless. The courtiers were unable to move as if they had been cast a restraining spell, and they looked at the royal father and daughter.

They were indeed imprisoned by magic, Ruby's doing.She felt that these irrelevant people were too noisy, and she just needed to shut up, watch this scene quietly, and be a witness.

Witness the fall of the old emperor and the rise of the new emperor.

“If it’s not my place, whose place can it be?”

Ruby didn't listen to him at all and continued to walk her own way.

"Do you want to leave me those weak brothers and sisters who have inherited your concept of peace and have done nothing?"
