Chapter 1104: Times Have Changed
There is no doubt that Vilia's cold declaration in the main hall of the palace directly forced the nobles who broke out into a corner.
After the meeting was dissolved, the guys, who had been stripped of their titles and territories, gathered in a villa, staring at each other with gloomy faces.
After a full minute, the nobleman of the court who was speaking in the palace was the first to speak: "Honorable lords, I believe you have also seen that the kingdom is no longer the kingdom that was once ruled by nobles and the royal family, and the woman sitting on the throne now is just a madwoman who came to power by a coup d'Γ©tat, a tyrant no different from the traitor Kerwin. Now, she is unwilling to give us even the most basic respect and rights, and wants to dig up our roots. β
"So what? what are you trying to say?" asked another old man, annoyed and aloud.
Apparently, he was worried about how he would explain to his wife and children when he returned that he was no longer a nobleman and that the castle where he had lived for generations would be moved out within a month.
Of course, he was not the only one with such troubles, almost every nobleman present had a sad face, and still couldn't believe that he had almost lost everything overnight.
"I mean, since the kingdom is no longer our kingdom, then we are not obliged to continue to protect it, so why not cooperate with its enemies?" the court nobles thought, meaningfully.
Intrigue and betrayal are always closely linked to politics.
Especially the aristocracy under the feudal system, there has never been any concept of a state, everything they do is for their family.
The nobles located at the junction of the two countries have long been accustomed to constantly changing sides, and whoever is strong will be loyal to whom they will not be harmed.
When the old man heard this naked treasonous remark, he subconsciously frowned, and said tentatively in a tone that was not very certain: "Who is the enemy you mentioned? Or rather, who have you been bribed with?"
"The Lion of Oros, the great Harrison the Great. I don't know if this answer will satisfy you?" the court nobleman pursed the corners of his mouth, and his face was full of smug smiles.
"Harrison the Great, he actually contacted you!"
Another slightly younger nobleman next to him stood up suddenly, and his emotions suddenly became extremely excited.
The nobles of the court nodded earnestly: "That's right! The great Harrison the Great thinks that our arrogant queen should be taught a lesson. To be exact, she is not worthy to sit on the throne and give orders, so she is ready to help the old king restore. Well, any of you would be interested in getting involved?"
"I! If Harrison the Great were the initiator, I would be willing to break the bank. β
"Count me in!"
"For a kingdom ruled by the royal family and the nobility!"
"Tell me, what are we going to do?"
......
It has to be said that Harrison's reputation and political prestige after decades of operation are vividly reflected at this moment.
As soon as these nobles heard his name, they immediately ignored the powerful army in Vilia's hands, as if with the help of this legendary monarch, no matter how powerful the opponent could be easily defeated.
But as they discuss how to start a rebellion, overthrow the queen with Harrison's support, and restore the kingdom to its former state, they are completely unaware that their every move is under the watchful eye of magic.
Vilia stared at the virtual images and voices transmitted back from the magic mirror, and couldn't help but sneer, "What a disappointment! I thought they could come up with some interesting plan, but they were just used as cannon fodder by others." β
Harrison is different from ordinary monarchs, and his political influence and prestige are not at all comparable to ordinary kings. Look at these people, as soon as they hear Harrison's name, it is as if they are a different person. Isolt touched the beard on her chin and issued a warning.
Harrison was a brilliant emperor, even from the enemy's point of view. But the problem is that times have changed, and his methods of wooing the aristocracy are destined to be swept into the dustbin of history. But the fact that he became an opponent made me feel more excited than ever. I believe that as long as I defeat him, history will definitely give me, the queen who came to power by a coup d'Γ©tat, a high evaluation, right?"
As she said this, Vilia's eyes lit up with a burning light.
As the saying goes, rights can essentially change a person.
Although she had not been enthusiastic about these things before, she was now more eager than everyone else.
"Yes! You're right! Times have changed! The master has brought about a revolution in this world! Brought a leap forward! Let's join forces to create a brilliant future. The lion of Oros, Harrison the Great, would be a good stepping stone. β
With that, Isolt waved his hand directly and turned off the surveillance of the magic mirror.
With the kingdom's current military strength, a mere noble rebellion has never been a big deal, and what really matters is how many hole cards this powerful monarch has in his hand.
"What do you think, then, should I do with this rebellion, annihilate it with thunder, or play a tug-of-war and slowly get the hidden enemies out of the back?" asked Vilia with interest.
The old man obviously hesitated for a moment before suggesting, "I don't think the rebellion of the nobles can become a climate, so it's better to take your time." Politics is the art of fraud, and you want to make the surrounding countries let their guard down, and it's best to make them think that powerful weapons are difficult to produce and can't be used in every battle. In this way, they will not band together to form a siege network. β
"What about Kerwin, could he have been involved in this plot against me?" said Vilia, leaning forward slightly, bringing up his most important concerns.
"I'm sorry, we've fallen out, and he won't reveal any secrets to me, so I can't be sure yet. But there's one thing, if you show even the slightest weakness, he'll take the opportunity to rush up and tear you to shreds. Remember, the master will not interfere in the fight between the servants, and according to the theory, both you and him have a chance to get rid of each other. β
"Hmph, in that case, let's see who can have the last laugh. β
"Believe me, we will all play the most important role in the prologue to the beginning of this new era, but only if we do not disobey the orders of our masters. β
"I have seen what happened to Kirwin, so I will not do anything stupid. β
"It's the best, I don't want to change my partner again......"
