Everyone Says I'm the Demon King [Unlimited]

The next morning.

It was still very early at this time, and there was only a little light shining through the clouds in the sky.

But the king's funeral had already begun, and the square was full of people, all of whom were civilians from the royal city.

Princess Catherine ordered someone to issue an announcement outside the palace yesterday afternoon, announcing that the king's funeral will be held today, and the square will be open at that time, and interested civilians can come to mourn the passing of the king.

The king didn't do anything good during his lifetime, but he didn't do anything bad either. He was just a king who didn't care about state affairs and had a low sense of existence.

The commoners didn't respect him, but they didn't hold any resentment either. They rushed over to take a look purely because they were curious about what the royal family's funeral would look like. After all, there were too few entertainments in life.

The people in the palace did not expect so many people to come. After all, it was already in the afternoon when Princess Catherine made the announcement, and the funeral will be held early the next morning. There must not be many people who can see the announcement during this time period. .

Unexpectedly, the number of people who arrived greatly exceeded expectations, so that the guards of the entire palace and some guards from the royal city were dispatched to ensure the order in the square.

Princess Mary stood under the stage, looking at Catherine standing on the high stage with some resentment and some gloating.

There are so many civilians here, and they are all crowded together, maybe some troubles will be caused by then.

This was the other party's idea, and if something happened, the other party would be held accountable.

She wants to see how her sister will end up then.

Prince Derek was also in the audience.

Although they were all in the audience and attended the king's funeral in the square, the nobles and commoners were still separated by a short distance by the guards.

Moreover, the nobles all had seats to sit on, while the commoners could only stand. Some even climbed up trees or statues in the square in order not to be blocked by others.

From Prince Derek's position, he could even hear the whispers of the civilians not far behind him:

"How did the king die, and why did he suddenly hold a funeral?"

"I heard that he died of alcohol poisoning at the mobilization meeting yesterday. Not only the king, but also the queen, those princesses were all poisoned!"

"Then why are the others still fine and are still attending the funeral now!"

"Let's drink less wine! But I heard that it is actually weird. The women of the royal family and others lay down for a long time, but Princess Catherine not only escaped the assassination, but also recovered immediately!"

"So scary?! She can't really be a witch... I heard last night that Princess Catherine was actually a witch since she was a child, that's why the king doesn't like her..."

"Where did you hear the rumors?! My sister works in the kitchen of the royal palace. She told me that Princess Catherine is very nice, gentle and beautiful. If she hadn't helped, my sister would have been punished long ago! "

"That's right, and Princess Catherine looks nothing like a witch?! She is so beautiful, she looks completely different from the old and ugly witch!"

"Don't get excited, I just heard it... But in the middle of the night last night, when I woke up from the cold, I seemed to see a huge shadow passing over the royal city, and finally disappeared above the royal palace."

"I saw it last night, even the stars and the moon were covered by shadows for a long time..."

"If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be a huge devil with dark red eyes and wings on its back, passing over the royal city, and still looking down."

"Could it be that there are really witches in the palace?"

"..."

Prince Derek sat in his seat and listened to these conversations in the square behind, feeling very satisfied.

After Snow discussed the countermeasures with him yesterday, he immediately sent people outside the palace to spread rumors about Princess Catherine.

Although this kingdom is a religious country, most of the powerful people are not fanatics, and neither are some civilians, and they may not even fully believe in the existence of God.

God is invisible and intangible, and no one has ever seen God perform miracles with his own eyes. However, money in the world is real and can bring many benefits to people.

Therefore, Prince Derek bought some of the priests and civilians in the royal city, and asked them to hurry up and spread the rumors that had been prepared before sunset and dusk as quickly as possible.

You don't have to believe everyone, just make sure that many people know the rumor.

Now it seems that people who take money to do things are very successful, and there are even unexpected joys.

The giant devil that exists in the mouths of the civilians behind him is not in the rumors that should have been conveyed. Although Prince Derek doesn't know how such things can be mixed into the rumors, it can add to the credibility of the rumor that "Princess Catherine is a witch" He doesn't mind the bargaining chip.

As Prince Derek thought about it, he glanced at the cardinal who was sitting at the representative seat in the church.

The other party was also bribed by them last night, and they will wait until today. At the funeral, they will perform with the person they arranged.

When Prince Derek thought of this, he felt a certain sense of control over the field.

Catherine on the high platform wore a black dress and completed most of the process of the king's funeral under the guidance of the teaching staff.

From beginning to end, throughout the entire funeral process, she lowered her head and bent her neck like a white swan.The black skirt pinched out a slender waist, which formed a sharp contrast with the pannier below.

Regardless of whether they are Princess Catherine's political opponents or not, no matter what kind of thoughts they have, the vast majority of people present are full of praise for the beauty of the young princess from the bottom of their hearts.

Some people even have ulterior motives and want to take a good measure with their hands to see if the waist can be grasped with one hand as they have seen with their own eyes.

Princess Catherine on the high platform didn't know anything about it, and she still had a dignified look on her face.

Most of the process of the king's funeral has been completed, and now Princess Catherine needs to give a speech.

At this moment, the sky has begun to light up, but the light leaking from behind the clouds is still very limited, and the whole square is gray.

Princess Catherine scanned the audience with her dark eyes. She raised her voice, and her words reached everyone in the square with the cool morning breeze:

"Thank you all for coming to my father's funeral."

"He didn't make any big mistakes as a king during his lifetime, and he should be buried safely after his death. I think it's my father's honor to have so many people come to visit him now."

Princess Catherine's voice was gentle and mellow, and there was a strange and calming force in everyone's ears.

The noisy voices in the square gradually calmed down, and everyone stared at the princess on the high platform.

After Catherine said a few more words on the scene, her voice remained unchanged, but the following content surprised people:

"I know that some people present were a little puzzled about me. Maybe you also heard about our poisoning last night and wondered why I recovered so quickly."

As soon as she said this, there was some small commotion in the originally quiet square below, and whispers spread in the crowd, and many people had a little fear and a little curiosity in their eyes.

Prince Derek also sat up abruptly.

How did the other party know this?She seems to know his movements very well?

Princess Catherine didn't seem to hear these buzzing discussions, her expression remained calm, and she even showed a smile.

This smile is pure.

No complacency, no sarcasm, no disdain, and not very excited, only a little bit of joy.

If you look at it for a little longer, it can even make people feel holy.

With such a pure smile, Prince Derek, who was sitting under the high platform, had a bad premonition for some reason.

Princess Catherine's dark eyes looked at everyone, her expression was calm: "Before last night, I also felt very strange, and I was uneasy about it. Until last night, I listened to God's oracle in my sleep."

Prince Derek's pupils shrank suddenly.

What a mistake, he can play tricks on religious issues, how could the other party not think of it!

"God told me that I, Catherine, have received the glory of God and possessed a constitution that is invulnerable to all poisons and no one can violate it."

"I, as the queen, will lead the kingdom out of the quagmire, and lead the army to resist foreign invasions. Our kingdom will be invincible, and it will go to glory from now on!"

Princess Catherine's voice went from low to high, and finally became impassioned.

She raised the hem of her skirt, took a step on the stage, pointed her slender hands in black gloves towards the audience, and said loudly: "If you don't believe me, please watch!"

Everyone in the audience has long been immersed in each other's emotions because of Princess Catherine's statement, and now every move, every thought is led by her.

So when she made this sound, the eyes of all the people in the square followed her guidance.

Several guards carried a piglet, and a maid came onto the stage holding an exquisite jug.

In such a speech occasion, once people's emotions are mobilized, they must never fall again before reaching their goals, and have to gradually climb up.

Princess Catherine is now self-taught in the study of human psychology, grasping everyone's emotions and continued: "In order to verify my words, I will drink poisonous wine with it, please witness the final result!"

"God bless me!"

After she said this, the civilians in the audience were all excited!

Although the previous rumors were not self-defeating, they also made many people suspicious.

The reason why they are inclined to rumors is because Princess Catherine recovers quickly from poisoning.And the other party has been in the deep palace all the year round, and is unknown to the common people outside. This has cast a layer of mystery, linking her image with the witch.

However, Princess Catherine stood in front of everyone today, not as gloomy, indifferent, grotesque, and crazy as imagined, but young and beautiful, with a holy temperament, and very sincere, not the slightest resemblance to the image of a witch.

If such a person is favored by God, it does not seem to be a difficult thing to accept.

What's more, she dared to face the rumors and test the fact that she was favored by God to everyone, unlike those old priests in the church, who just uttered a few clichéd empty words with their mouths shrunken.

The nobles and elders sitting on both sides of the high platform, cabinet officials, missions from neighboring countries, and royal family members seemed to have no idea that Princess Catherine would make such a move at the king's funeral.

They wanted to stop it, but there were so many people in the square, and it was too late even if they wanted to stop it. Many people looked at Princess Catherine curiously like those ordinary people, and couldn't wait to see the results of the experiment.

The two guards held down the struggling piglet, opened its mouth, and poured the poisoned wine into the bowl.

At the same time, Princess Catherine also drank the poisoned wine in her bowl.

As time passed, the thick clouds gradually dispersed.

The little pig that was placed on the high platform gradually became unstable, fell down several times and tried to stand up in vain, then foamed at the mouth and let out muffled grunts one after another.

When the sun finally revealed its full view and broke through the clouds for the first ray of golden light, the little pig finally fell to the ground and remained motionless.

However, Princess Catherine has been standing on the stage, with no painful expression on her face, no cold sweat on her forehead, and she has not even changed her standing posture.

What is even more surprising is that the high platform is obviously covered by a roof, and logically speaking, the sun should not shine from the roof.

However, among all the people on the high platform, only Princess Catherine's head was illuminated by a beam of golden sunlight, illuminating the floating dust in the air, turning her black hair into pale gold, and covering her whole body with a veil of gold. Layer hazy halo.

As if guided by God, bowing his head and pitying the angels in the world.

The little monster was lying on the roof of the high platform, lowering its body so as not to be discovered by others.

Seeing the sunlight shining through the glass bricks, it happily flapped the little meaty wings on its back.

This is all it carried back from another city last night with great painstaking efforts!

Today it also spread them one by one by hand!

So happy to be able to help the big bad guy!

Thinking of this, the little monster happily slapped the little meaty wings on its back.

Go back and let the big bad guy reward it!

Princess Catherine's voice echoed in the square:

"As you can see, I am guided by God, and I will lead the kingdom to repel the invading foreign enemies. I will lead our kingdom and my people to glory from now on!"

"I swear here that the real witch, the person who framed my father, the obstacle on the Kingdom's glorious road, will be punished by God, and will be pierced by the sun's arrow and die!"

I don't know who started it first and called out "Queen Catherine".Then the voices in the crowd became louder and louder, and in the end, the entire square was filled with shocking voices:

"Catherine! Queen!"

"Catherine! Queen!"

"Catherine! Queen!"

"..."
