MTL - How To Wear a Goddess Statue-Chapter 125 North and South
For Solancia, this is bound to be an eventful time.
Three months after Eleuil took control of the royal city, Horst and others traveled a long way, crossing the small half of Solanchia, and finally reached the seaside city of Banana with the help of his brother .
He took a breath, and issued a notice to many cities in the name of King Solan, blaming Eleuil as a sinner of treason, and announced the abolition of Aht as the symbol of the royal city , the city of Banana was designated as the new royal city.
This is not only an announcement, but an unspoken call.
What? Of course, it is necessary to gather the forces of the major cities, and the army will fight back to Aht and drive Eleuil from the position that originally belonged to him!
…However, this announcement did not actually function as Horst expected.
"Ignore him, a dingy bereaved dog, he has been pretending for a long time, and even calling people to fight over it has to be around the corner, expecting the city lords from all over the world to lead troops with their loyalty to him? ridiculous."
The concubine curled her hair and said thoughtfully: "I don't know what Eleuil's plans are. Forget it, let's see what she says."
In the city of Vash, Kepar has been the lord of the city for nearly four years. She is still dressed as a man, but her aura is completely different from the cautious and cautious in the past.
Don't worry about the danger of revealing gender, and don't have to consider the uncertain factors from the dead father, after years of tempering, Kopal has become a qualified city lord, far away Much better than my father.
Before the desk, Kopal picked up the announcement from the so-called New King City, read it carefully, and threw it aside with a blank expression.
Once a businessman's daughter, Vanessa, who is now a female official next to the city lord, heard the movement and looked at it curiously, and asked, "That stack seems to be an important official document, why did you throw it away?"
Copal shrugged: "It's waste paper, I don't know how it got in."
Vanice: "?"
Koppar: "Really, you can see."
Vanesse picked up the paper with Horst's seal and read it: "...It's really waste paper."
The two looked at each other and decided that this official document did not exist.
What, the announcement from Bananna? I didn't receive it, probably lost it somewhere.
Ilulera City, the city lord Luceta stared at the same official document for a long time.
He thought of the persistence of the family for generations, upholding etiquette, advocating the law, and being loyal to the monarch.
These are things carved into their bones.
At this moment, Luceta repeatedly looked at every word on the paper, but uncharacteristically did not intend to respond, nor did he have the big truths that were always on his lips.
The city lord thought of his son, and the only son Luca was still in Acht.
This **** became the queen's bodyguard, and every letter sent home on a regular basis must have a paragraph looking forward to the future. Nothing has been done yet.
The city lord also thought of the late king, the king to whom he had sworn allegiance.
The news from Acht that Horst was the murderer of the former king was also received by the city of Eluleira.
Aides have mixed reactions to the news. Some people think that the news is true and reliable, because the statement in the report is well-founded, and it can explain why the princess hates Horst so much; some people think that the credibility is very low, and the princess may be trying to make her rebellion sound legitimate. Only then will this black pot be placed on Horst's head.
At that time, Luceta did not make a clear statement.
He lowered his head in silence for a long time, and finally folded the notice issued by Horst and placed it over the fire beside him.
The flame ignited to a corner of the paper, spread rapidly, and quickly burned it away, leaving only a black ash.
Five days passed, ten days passed, half a month passed—
Wait at Horst in Bananna: "…"
Why are there only so many people here?
There is no imaginary gathering of hundreds of troops, and there are several city masters who send people to send back letters, if it is meaningless, they will not send troops to support.
Most of the city lords of the seaside city in the south of Solan responded to the call, and the reason was more attributed to the city lord Bananna—that is, Horst’s brother Taz.
Unlike Horst, who is not good at force, Taz is the eldest son of the family, and he was raised according to the standards of the city master since he was a child.
He seems to have inherited the skill and bravery of the Solan royal family. During the ten years in Haicheng, he has done his duty, repelled the pirates who invaded several times, and also killed a famous pirate group.
In the south, the name of Taz is well known.
Just like the Northwest Frontier, the name of Eleuil has been circulating in the mouths of the people.
The city lord's mansion of Banana City is now temporarily requisitioned by Horst as the palace of the new king city.
In the main hall of the "Xinggong", Horst looked at the replies from the city lords from all over the world. Sneering from the back of the chair.
"Seeing that I fled from Acht in a hurry, I began to hesitate. Who are you fooling me with the letter!"
The tall and burly man opposite said indifferently: "Why, are you shirk?"
"There is no shirk, I pretend to be stupid and pretend I don't understand." Horst said irritably, thinking of Eleuil, and I don't know how many times he began to regret, "Why didn't you join her in the first place? Kill, cause trouble now, really—"
In front of his brother, he was too lazy to put on a mask, because it was unnecessary.
If anyone ever knew what kind of person he was, it was Taz.
This is indeed the case, Taz took a sip of wine: "It's not surprising in this situation. Do you still want to call Acht?"
Horst: "I won't fight, and Eleuil will call sooner or later. Instead of waiting for her to integrate the situation on Acht's side, it is better to do it now."
Taz: "The problem is, we're not doing well either."
Horst: "…"
Yes, Banana's troops are not too many, and there are pirates who are eyeing them. completely overrun by pirates.
Horst's mind was used to thinking about secret methods. In the current situation, he couldn't make up his mind without his staff coming up with ideas, so he had to say: "Listen to you."
"It is unrealistic to take the initiative. Clean up our stall first and defend the south."
That's all.
Horst sighed: "Thank you, Taz."
"Who made me your brother." Taz said.
Yes, their branches have always supported each other, otherwise how could they have almost replaced the direct line before?
Unfortunately, it's only a little short, only one Eleuil.
Horst was gnashing his teeth and hating when he heard Taz continue: "Who made me your brother, even if you want to go to Eleuil."
Horst: "…"
Taz: "Haha, just a joke."
This is really just a joke. From the beginning of Horst's plan, he knew everything, and he and his deceased father have been secretly assisting his brother to realize the plan.
From the moment I took this road, there was no other possibility.
———
Compared to the Horst brothers, Eleuil does not seem to be in a hurry to send troops to the south to deal with Horst, who still pretends to be King Solan after escaping from the royal city.
In and outside the city of Acht, Eleuil's influence expanded extremely fast, which was a silent and vast process.
From His Royal Highness to His Majesty, one thing has been selectively overlooked - Eleuil has not been officially crowned.
Yes, no coronation.
Strictly speaking, Eleuil is the controller of the king's power at this time, but he can't really be called a king.
Therefore, everyone calls "Your Majesty" when speaking in person and in private.
As for the title used in official writing, the clerk who recorded it struggled for a while, and finally called Eleuil in this period cautiously as "Your Majesty the Queen in Power".
…a complicated and strange title, but a fitting one.
There are two explanations given by Eleuil for the reason for the delay in holding the coronation ceremony.
The tomb of the parents has not yet been completed.
The conspirator has not been captured.
Only if the above two points are met, Eleuil will be officially crowned as king.
Such an explanation is enough to convince outsiders, but does Eleuil have other secret obsessions in her heart, such as waiting for Luodus to watch her become a king... Others will not know, will not understand.
Eleuil looked at the documents stacked on the desk.
On the top sheet of paper, the latest information about the Kingdom of Kasne is written.
Ever since Asru's death, Eleuil has begun to doubt the motives of the Kingdom of Chisne.
The content of the information is calm, and it is easy for people to think that this is just overheartedness, but Eleuil's suspicion has never subsided, and she has a certain degree of vigilance towards Kasne.
The news of the civil strife in Solanchia has naturally been placed in front of the rulers of Chisne.
The other party will not miss this opportunity, and must choose the right time. In this case, she can't confront Horst head-on and consume troops, otherwise it will just be cheaper for Chisne.
This is really, not very happy.
Eleuil closed her eyes lightly and put the information aside.
The sun wheel and the moon wheel alternately cruise over Solancia.
Under the gaze of the gods of the sun and the moon, the four seasons of this land turn until another year.
The mausoleum of the previous king was completed.
It was only the rough end of the repair, so it didn't take long. The newly built royal mausoleum is located in the valley behind the palace, lined up with the tombs of the previous kings of Solan, like a monument.
Before this day came, Eleuil also thought about whether Luodus would suddenly appear, and told her softly at the funeral that the souls of her parents had indeed broken free, and along the lines of Eleuther The river returns to the kingdom of God.
No.
On the day of the funeral, the ceremony was presided over by Eleuil, accompanied by Rhea and the High Priest of Death.
Fifteen years later, the former king and the former queen, who were hastily buried in an unnamed cemetery outside the city, have turned into two clean skeletons, and they are leaning against each other, just like they were in their lifetimes.
The high priest of the **** of death recited the long poem of sacrifice, and the musician played the harp and played the melody.
Eleuil listened quietly until their last syllable fell.
