8. The Knights of Albion (XXIV)

The current queen of Albion, Mary Stuart Tudor, suddenly fell seriously ill and died young.

First Charlemagne's heralds urgently informed Charles IV, then the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the ambassador of Albion appeared in the arena to confirm the sad news to Charlemagne's magnates and the knights of the Round Table, respectively, and no one doubted the authenticity of the news.

The news, which was too sudden and coincidental, was almost like calculating the time it took for the magic communication and the heralds to deliver the message, so that Queen Mary was summoned by the Mother God at the right time, and then suspected the cause of the Queen's death.

For example...... What a man's conspiracy.

Everyone with political vision will have doubts about this, but there is no time for them to waste on unfounded speculation, and people who are good at scheming and vying for fame and fortune are quickly calculating what kind of changes this unfortunate event will bring to Albiang, what kind of impact it will have on the relations between the two countries, and how they should profit from it, and the competition, the players, and the spectators are completely thrown aside.

Queen Mary had no heirs, and it is not known whether Philip II was not good, or if the queen was a stone girl, and the two supreme beings did not give birth to a man and a woman who could inherit the throne of Albion. At the time of the death of Her Majesty the Queen, the only people who could inherit the throne were Philip II and the Queen's sister, Archduchess Elizabeth.

Historically, the disputes over the throne have been highly sensitive, with political strife, frame-ups, conspiracies, assassinations, and murder throughout the process, and the unharmonious relationship between His Majesty Philip and Her Royal Highness Elizabeth inevitably reminds us of the worst of the worst situations.

The end of centuries of covenants, a major realignment of policy in Castile and Albion. And also...... A war.

In the coming storm, Charlemagne, Charlemagne's aristocracy, and the royal family should deal with themselves, the entire ruling class is calculating.

(It's ugly.) )

Brunhill, who was incarnated as Li Lin, smiled bitterly.

As a superior human being, the ugliness of forgetting responsibilities and only caring about immediate interests has made her feel a little, just a trace of sympathy for the people who are under the domination of this country.

For those in high positions, a single decision and a signature may determine the fate and life and death of hundreds, or even thousands. With power comes responsibility. We should look at things with a sense of the big picture. At least when something unexpected happens. It is necessary to have the consciousness of letting go of internal struggles.

There are not many characters who can have a view of the overall situation and make decisions calmly, but they can express desire and shallowness on their faces like Charlemagne's aristocracy...... It's really unbearable for the elves.

Although I don't want to completely negate the hereditary system, I have established a system that is not based on the feelings of parents and bloodline. It is the system of strength and qualification to determine personnel appointments, and it is indeed extremely correct. It is precisely by relying on such an advanced system. Alfheim was able to quickly unite its people, strengthen its national strength, and become a developed region leading the countries in one fell swoop.

What if humanity were to follow the example of Alfheim in reforming the system......

Shaking his head secretly. Brunhill gave up imagining that future.

Regardless of the resistance and difficulties in the process of change, it is by no means a bright future for the elves.

Based on the future planning of the elves, the aristocratic class that relies on blood, bloodline, and origin to continue the "corruption" from generation to generation still has the need to survive, and this kind of ugly drama can only continue to be watched.

(It's almost time for the end of the show.) )

Looking at the eager or panicked aristocrats, Brunhill relaxed his shoulders and prepared to leave the arena with the noisy crowd.

There is a lot of work to be done, this world has been peaceful for too long, decay is everywhere in every corner of human society, and it is impossible to change the status quo of the terminal illness without a bloody wind blowing again. The thought of all that troublesome stuff makes my shoulders and backs feel sore, so let's go back to take a bath before we start.

She was about to get up and leave, but there was a commotion below that made her frown.

Poking his head out with the nobles who were also thinking about what was wrong, Brunhill's displeasure turned into doubt.

(What is he doing there?)

The lieutenant battle ended with Gloria being forced back by Geraint, who was caught in the whirlpool of love, and after the news of Albion's change came, the general battle was delayed, and now when everyone had no intention of playing and was ready to devote all their energy to politics and diplomacy, the noble figure of the morning sun stood in the ring.

Albion is the youngest and rumored to be the strongest Knights of the Round Table Lancelot.

Now, no one thinks that the game will continue. From an objective point of view, an undefeated draw is also just right for both countries.

What did he want to do when he stood in the ring with Arondit?

(Could it be...... )

Brunhill came up with a hypothesis, which, if true, was a bit of a childish stubbornness.

"Retreat without a fight...... Dishonoring the name of the knight!"

A slightly hoarse voice resounded throughout the audience, and Lancelot straightened his back and said loudly:

"Here, challenge Charlemagne's strongest - Salome!!"

......

Where's this?

The knight challenged the magician, although it was not uncommon, but he was challenging a player who had already played...... This is truly unprecedented.

"Lancelot! The game is over, and the top priority is to hurry back to China as soon as possible!"

"Just leave that arrogant woman alone?!"

"This ......"

Looking at Morgan, who was still grinding at Salome's feet, and Gao Wen, who was lying on a stretcher and still receiving first aid, Bedwell fell silent.

Salome undoubtedly won the match, but the woman's methods were extremely filthy and deeply disgraced Albion. If they return to China honestly like this, I am afraid that they will never be able to raise their heads in the future.

A knight who has no achievements is despised by others, and a knight who can come back with a shy face after being insulted by a foreign woman...... Regardless of reputation or status, I'm afraid it will be seriously damaged, right?

"That's right, and there is indeed not a single knight who said, 'Oh, is that so?' and then obediently returned home. ”

Salome sat upright on her feet and leaned up, pulled up the chains, forced Morgan's trance-like expression to rise, and sneered disdainfully:

"The knights of Albion are really brainless. ”

"Wait, the battle of the generals should be ...... by me!!"

"Sit down, Roland-chan, people are fighting for the motherland, and be a little considerate of that girlish and delicate heart. ”

As if perceiving a qiē smile, the black light that transcended common sense and common sense flickered and lengthened from Salome's right hand into a straight line, and the light began to condense and reconstitute a material form.

"It's been a long time since I've met a good swordsman who can make me enjoy it a little, the legendary holy sword, the genius swordsman who has become famous—well, I shouldn't feel sorry, right?"

The pitch-black straight knife appeared in the air, nearly 3 meters long, shaped according to the Tang knife, but it had the grip of the Toei ninja knife and a Western-style name.

The most ominous murder knife, its name is "Divine Will". (To be continued......)

PS: Tomorrow will start a sword and knife to the death, dear friends, give the vote count as motivation!!
