The city of Lyssahn, once the capital of a small principality, was forcibly annexed by Harrison, and after several reconstructions and expansions, it eventually became the most prosperous and important city along the Great River, and even served as part of the administrative and military center.

However, with the sprawling country descending into civil strife, it was unable to withstand the brutal armies of Kerrwyn.

After a period of symbolic resistance, the frightened nobles took the initiative to send emissaries to negotiate their surrender to the tyrant on the condition that they would retain their titles, personal safety, and property security.

So despite the short war, the city was not badly damaged, the inhabitants of the city did not suffer much, and with the people who had fled from other places, commerce and trade in the entire region quickly resumed.

Standing on the highest tower in the city, you can clearly observe the busy merchants and crowds of people in the market, even more than before the start of the war, and the transportation of goods is also very frequent.

In particular, the Saioro Palace, known as a temple of art, holds banquets almost every night, and the bright magic lights can be seen clearly even from a few hundred meters away.

Not a single resident of the city did not know that the banquet was being held by none other than Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was notorious and killed her own father with her own hands.

For this young and beautiful princess, most people have extremely mixed feelings.

There is a strong anger and contempt for her to cut off the last possibility of recovery for the country, but also a little gratitude, because it is she who has kept the last pure land in this chaotic era, so that people who yearn for peace can have a place to live in peace.

Queen, in the current situation of war and chaos, this is not an easy job.

What's more, she is just a puppet queen, she doesn't even have an army loyal to her, and she is completely dependent on Kirwin's support.

In order to make up for her biggest shortcoming, she had to desperately win over the nobles who came to her, trying to use the strength of the other party to form a kind of political capital, and then put her hand into the army little by little.

Violence is the basis for a monarch to hold power, and it is also fundamental to the stability of a country.

If a monarch does not have control over the army, then the real power is no longer in his hands.

If a country's armed forces are not in its own hands, it cannot have an independent will and cannot develop according to its own wishes.

Obviously, this new country is actually a puppet, a buffer zone that Kerrwin deliberately propped up in order not to irritate the sensitive nerves of his neighbors, only to swallow it in one gulp when the time is right.

The young princess, on the other hand, hopes to break free from control and truly build a country of her own, and even defeat her brothers and sisters one day and restore the glorious empire created by her father.

......

Accompanied by the beautiful music played by the harp, countless glamorous men and women in the gorgeous palace are holding hands and stepping on the joyful dance steps.

They seemed so carefree that they had forgotten the ongoing fighting on the other side of the river.

Perhaps, as the saying goes, the only lesson humanity has learned from history is that it has learned nothing at all.

No, after only a few days of peace, the nobles and scholars chose to forget the misery of the escape, and once again began to sprout.

In this regard, the young girl, who had just transformed from a princess to a queen, couldn't help but sigh slightly, and muttered in a voice that only she could hear: "No wonder the country created by my father is about to die." Such nobles, such ministers, what can I expect them to do? ”

"Don't be discouraged, Your Majesty. There's also a chance you can turn the tide and get things back on track. An old man wrapped in a hood stood behind and whispered comfort.

"Hehe, really, is it true that when Kirwyn is dead, Her Majesty will give me back the part of the land she occupied?" the queen looked up into the other's eyes, and her tone was undisguised sarcasm.

Influenced by politics and conspiracy, she has long seen through these things in the name of helping herself, but in fact, none of them have a good heart.

Either they want to eradicate the tyrant with their own hands and then divide up the land he occupies, or they simply want to muddy the waters and see what is cheap.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you will have to go and talk to His Majesty Vilia yourself after Kerwyn's death. As he spoke, the old man took off his hood to reveal an old, wise eye.

He was none other than Isolt, who had disappeared for a while.

Although his appearance had not changed much, in fact, the vial mixed with divine blood had been made into a potion by him and drunk.

Now, the huge vitality contained in the old body is about to come out, but it has not been completely absorbed for the time being.

"Ah, a delaying tactic. Perhaps by the time of Kirwyn's death, His Majesty's appetite will be quite terrifying, isn't it?" the girl sneered at herself.

She undoubtedly knew very well that she was now just a puppet, and there was no room for bargaining.

Either choose to be the wife of a tyrant for a lifetime, let the other party play with and humiliate, or maybe when it loses its use value, it will be quietly disposed of, just like my father used to dispose of those disobedient monarchs of small countries.

Either do some tyrants, and then negotiate with those kings, especially the most powerful Queen Vilia, and then regain relative independence and autonomy after paying a certain price.

Of course, even if you think about it with your ass, you know that this price will definitely be very painful.

As the saying goes, the lesser of two evils is the lesser of two evils, and no matter how you look at it, the latter is much better than the former.

Isolt smiled and nodded, "Her appetite is a bit intimidating, but I promise the rest will still be enough to make you a true queen." Also, I just got the news that Kirwin is rushing back at breakneck speed. Because he's heard that you've been sharing a room with one or two handsome young men every night lately. In this world, some men's possessiveness is very scary, it can make people lose their minds. ”

"What do you mean...... My dear husband didn't bring much troops?"

"That's right! He's so arrogant, arrogant that he thinks the defenders who remain in the city are enough to control any situation. Well, can you test the tone of the officer who fell under your skirt and carry out an assassination and military coup?"

"I will......"
