Casting spells

"And I!"

"If the kingdom is a kingdom of nobles again, I would rather serve the monarchs of other countries."

……

For a while, at least one-third of the people followed suit, clearly expressing their strong dissatisfaction, but two-thirds remained silent for the time being.

Especially those dukes who still retain a huge territory, just watching the young queen who came to power through a coup, wanting to see what choice she will make.

Whether to compromise with the nobles in exchange for the stability of the country, or choose to take back the territories of these people forcefully, even if it will lead to chaos and disorder in part of the country.

Just like a saying goes, in this kind of extremely dangerous game, those who charge ahead will always be the cannon fodder who is bewitched and used, while the real mastermind will always hide behind and observe the situation calmly until he confirms that he has a great deal to do. The odds are that you can win and you will end up in person.

If they find that they cannot win, they will quickly adjust their strategies, or reach an agreement with their opponents, or surrender directly and conditionally, and will never gamble all their lives.

Appreciating the group of guys in front of him who think they are so powerful enough to make the monarch change his mind, Vilia smiled contemptuously and declared straightforwardly: "Very good! Then I announce as a queen that you are now treating me The oath of allegiance is broken. I give you one month to surrender your lands and leave the kingdom."

"Wh... what?!!" The leading court nobleman stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what he heard.

Not only him, but the originally noisy hall was suddenly silent.

Shock!

fear!

despair!

Few people dared to believe that the queen dared to clear out one-third of the nobles in the palace.

Although the titles of these people are generally not high, their political influence is not small at all, and many positions in the army have been held by them for generations.

"Why, didn't you hear clearly? Then I repeat. As the queen, I announce that from now on, your oath of allegiance to me is lifted. I will give you one month to pack up and hand over your title and land , and then go wherever you want. But if anyone still insists on leaving after a month, don’t worry about me treating him as a rebel.” Vilia glanced at the wonderful expressions on the faces of the nobles under the throne, and gave the final word without thinking. ultimatum.

In fact, as early as the end of the war, she began to plan how to clean up some nobles and make room for the civilians who were single-handedly promoted.

But who would have thought that before they could do it themselves, these stupid guys would jump out and offer a perfect excuse with both hands.

You must know that this is the nobles themselves asking to leave the kingdom, not her voluntary expulsion, and there is no need to bear the corresponding political risks.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Undoubtedly, Vilia's ruthless declaration in the main hall of the palace directly pushed the outburst nobles into a corner.

After the meeting was dissolved, these guys who had been deprived of their titles and territories gathered in a villa, staring at each other with gloomy faces.

After a full minute, the court noble who spoke in the palace was the first to speak: "My lords, I believe you have also seen that the kingdom is no longer the kingdom that was jointly ruled by the nobles and the royal family. The woman on the throne is just a lunatic who came to power by a coup, a tyrant who is no different from the traitor Kerwin. Now, she is not even willing to give us the most basic respect and rights, and wants to dig us out foundation."

"So? What do you want to express?" Another old man asked loudly, irritatedly.

Obviously, he was worrying about how to explain to his wife and children after returning home that he was no longer an aristocrat, and the castle where he had lived for generations would move out within a month.

Of course, he is not the only one who has such troubles. Almost every nobleman present is frowning, and he still can't believe that he lost almost everything overnight.

"What I mean is! Since the kingdom is no longer our kingdom, then we have no obligation to continue to protect it, why not cooperate with its enemies?" The court nobles meaningfully put forward their own ideas.

Conspiracy and betrayal are always closely linked with politics.

Especially the nobles under the feudal system have never had the concept of a country, and everything they do is for their own family.

The nobles located at the junction of the two countries have long been accustomed to constantly changing camps, and they will be loyal to whoever is strong, so as to ensure that their own interests will not be damaged.

Hearing these blatant treasonous remarks, the old man frowned subconsciously, and tentatively asked in an uncertain tone: "Who is the enemy you mentioned? Or, who bought you?"

"The Lion of Oros, the great Harrison the Great. I don't know if this answer satisfies you?" The court nobleman pursed his lips with a smug smile on his face.

"Emperor Harrison? He actually contacted you!"

Next to him, another nobleman who was slightly younger stood up suddenly, and his mood suddenly became extremely agitated.

The court nobles nodded seriously: "That's right! The great Harrison believes that our arrogant queen should be taught a lesson. To be precise, she is not worthy to sit on the throne and give orders, so she is going to help the old king restore .How about any of you interested in getting involved?"

"Me! If Emperor Harrison is the initiator, I am willing to lose everything for it."

"Count me in!"

"For the kingdom ruled by the royal family and nobles!"

"Tell me, what are we going to do?"

……

It has to be said that Harrison's reputation and political prestige after decades of management are fully reflected at this moment.

As soon as these nobles heard his name, they immediately ignored the powerful army in Velia's hands, as if they could easily defeat any opponent no matter how powerful they were with the help of this legendary monarch. .

But when they were discussing how to launch a rebellion, overthrow the queen with Harrison's support, and restore the kingdom to its former state, they didn't realize that their every move was under the supervision of magic.

Velia stared at the virtual image and sound transmitted back from the magic mirror, and couldn't help laughing: "It's really disappointing! I thought they could come up with some interesting plans, but they were just treated as cannon fodder by others."

"Don't take it lightly! Harrison is different from ordinary monarchs. His political influence and prestige are beyond the reach of ordinary monarchs. Look at these people. When they heard Harrison's name, they immediately seemed to have changed. Looks like a person." Isolt stroked the beard on his chin and issued a warning.

"I understand! Harrison is indeed an excellent emperor, even from the perspective of the enemy. But the problem is that times have changed, and his method of attracting nobles is destined to be swept into the dustbin of history. But he Becoming an opponent makes me feel unprecedentedly excited. I believe that as long as I defeat him, history will definitely give me a high evaluation of the queen who came to power through a coup, isn't it?"

While saying these words, Vilia's eyes showed a fiery light.

As the saying goes, power can change a person in essence.

Although she was not enthusiastic about these before, but now, she is more eager than everyone else.

"Yeah! You are right! Times have changed! The master has brought change to this world! He has brought a leap forward! Let us join hands and come to create a brilliant future. The lion of Oros—— Harrison the Great, would be a good stepping stone."

After all, Isolt waved his hand directly and turned off the surveillance of the magic mirror.

With the kingdom's current military strength, a mere nobleman's rebellion has never been a big deal. What is really worth noting is how many cards this powerful monarch has in his hand.

"Then what do you think I should do with this rebellion? Annihilate it with lightning? Or play a tug-of-war and slowly capture the hidden enemies behind me?" Vilia asked with great interest.

The old man obviously hesitated for a moment, and then suggested: "I don't think the noble rebellion will be successful, so it's better to take it slowly. Politics is an art of deceit. You have to let the surrounding countries relax their vigilance. It is best to let them think Such a powerful weapon is difficult to produce and cannot be used in every campaign. That way, they don't join forces to form an encirclement network."

"Where's Kerwin? Will he also participate in this conspiracy against me?" Vilia leaned forward slightly, and raised the aspect she was most concerned about.

"Sorry, we've fallen out. He won't reveal any secrets to me, so we can't be sure yet. But one thing, if you show even the slightest weakness, he will take the opportunity to rush up and tear you to pieces. Remember Wait, the master will not interfere in the fights between the servants, according to the theory, both you and him have a chance to get rid of each other."

"Hmph! Since that's the case, let's see who can have the last laugh."

"Believe me, we will all play the most important role in the opening of this new era, but only if we don't disobey the master's orders."

"Disobeying orders? I have seen Kerwin's fate, so I won't do stupid things."
