Crown of Chaos

Rumble~

Cormyr's Protectorate Dragon landed on top of the Kingdom Council, and the white light of the Great Dragon's destruction swept across the sky, sweeping the nearby clouds into two parts.

In the parliament, cousin Maximian and cousin Robert rushed into the parliament with a large group of fully armed silver dragon knights, followed by the Queen's Blade and Cormyr's purple dragon knights.

The great nobles of Cormyr were stunned by the scene before them.

What do Aaron and Alice Sayre want to do?

"Are you going to rebel?!" Shaval, the grand leader of the Purple Dragon Knights, stood up immediately and roared at the Purple Dragon Knights who rushed in: "Get out!"

The Purple Dragon Knights who rushed in looked at me and I looked at you. They all looked puzzled and focused on the Chief Inspector Ian. The Chief Inspector also looked at the Grand Leader strangely. The grand leader was serious, and then he signaled the Purple Dragon Knights to withdraw.

The Purple Dragon Knights slowly retreated.

"Salian!" Shawar then yelled at Aaron: "Get your people out! What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?!"

Aaron raised his eyebrows and saw that the more than 300 nobles present were looking at him. He motioned lightly to his cousin and cousin: "Everyone, please exit."

Maximian looked indifferent, while Robert looked puzzled. His cousin wondered if Ms. Egil was spraying white light as a signal, and they led the Silver Dragon Knights to directly control the parliament? Why are we being asked to withdraw now?

But he still listened to Aaron's words and slowly retreated with the Silver Dragon Knights.

"Yuri." Alice Ser also said: "It's okay, you are too nervous."

Just like that, Queen's Blade also exited.

The Kingdom Council seemed to have regained its tranquility, but the scene just now lingered in the hearts of many nobles and feudal lords, and could not be dissipated.

"Sorry, everyone, your radical actions have misunderstood people outside." Aaron stood in front of Alice Serre, his blue eyes full of indifference: "They thought something happened inside."

"Don't be too excited. Cormyr has always adhered to the concept of republic. We can talk about it. There is nothing we can't talk about." Alice Searle also said: "The bill is just a bill. I just made a suggestion. Can it be discussed in the Kingdom Parliament?" Whether it is passed depends on your opinions.”

"Now, you have seen the motion handed down by the attendants. Please move your fingers and cast your precious vote." Alice Serre leaned on the dragon seat, indicating that voting could begin.

"Everyone, your opinions will determine whether the bill can be passed in the Kingdom Council. This is the case for the bill to conquer the barbarians, and the same is true for the bill to hand over the duties." The newly appointed general of the conquest of the barbarians and the Grand Duke of Green Weilon, Aaron, also said, and he returned to his seat. superior.

The parliament was quieter than the library at this time.

Sharp Honghu, the lord of Huailun City, found that he was sweating profusely without realizing it, and his hand holding the quill was shaking.

What does it mean? Aaron and Alice Searle What exactly does this mean?

Is it intended for us to "be" volunteered, or is it intended for us to "be" represented?

If the royal family intends to act arbitrarily, then why do they ask us to hold a conference? You can just bypass the parliament like the late King Assan IV and make your own decisions in everything!

There were many nobles who had similar doubts as Sharp Honghu. It was obvious that everyone was frightened by the scene just now, and the hand holding the pen was hesitant for a moment.

No matter so much, since you want us to vote, then we will do what we want, and you want to make us surrender through threats. This is absolutely unreasonable! We are not a ring on your finger!

If the Kingdom Council doesn’t pass it, I don’t see how you two can stand down!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Kings of Cormyr, Princess Regent, I think you want to rebel!

Sharp-Honghu, the leader of the Dragonthorn Clan, Duke Kayneth, Duke Gordon, Ms. Raul and other noble nobles hesitated again and again, but still firmly voted against it.

The votes of the Royal Parliament were soon released. With 65 votes in favor, 34 abstentions, and 197 votes against, the royal motion of "attendance account" was not passed.

Sure enough, the Obeszil royal motion was not passed.

Many nobles closed their eyes after voting. They knew that the storm was coming.

However, the change of things once again exceeded everyone's expectations. Aaron and Alice Searle seemed not surprised by the result. Alice Searle glanced at the voting results lightly, stood up and said loudly: "So, today The Kingdom Parliament is here. The "Biden Expedition Bill" was successfully passed, but the "Participation and Attendance Handover Bill" was not passed. From today on, the "Barbarian Expedition Bill" will be officially implemented. I ask everyone in the Purple Dragon Kingdom to work hard to support it and not to disgrace the reputation of our ancestors. .”

After saying that, Alice Serre was the first to leave the Dragon Seat, followed closely by Aaron.

That's it?

The great nobles of Cormyr all showed puzzled looks. It seemed that the storm came and went quickly, and it was as absurd as the thunder exploded in the sky, the clouds were thick, the wind roared, but not a drop of rain fell, and instead the sun came out.

This is the end?

The great nobles have an unreal feeling.

But no matter what, Aaron and Alice Searle had already left, the Kingdom Council had also come to an end, and everyone had no reason to stay in the meeting. When they left the council hall, they were notified that in order to celebrate Aaron's inauguration, Zhengyi General, Susal will hold a banquet that will last until tomorrow night. Please be sure to participate.

At this time, a big noble finally reacted.

Damn it, we still fell into the trap!

After everyone was almost gone, two uninvited guests hiding in the corner of the parliament spoke up.

Amaunata, the sun god with long white curly hair, couldn't help but praise repeatedly: "What a powerful method. There must be an expert behind Aaron's guidance! Now, Aaron can free his hands and feet to do things."

The pink-haired eldest lady Charlotte didn't understand at all: "Father, what do you mean? Didn't the bill fail?"

"Ha." Amaunata sneered: "Daughter, sometimes, failure to pass is more important than passing. Think about it, is it possible for this bill to be passed?"

"Of course that's absolutely impossible! You have to live in the capital for three to five months every year, and you have to lead half of the troops stationed in the territory at your own expense. Only a fool agrees!" Charlotte said matter-of-factly.

"Very good, yes, this bill cannot be passed as long as it is voted normally, and this is also true... So, Dragon Seat and Aaron respected the voting results of the Kingdom Council, should the Kingdom Council respect their own voting results?" Amaunata pinched her chin, her expression full of admiration and aftertaste: "Interesting, so interesting, my son-in-law."

"I still don't understand, father." Charlotte also pinched her chin in a learned manner. The eldest lady said that although she didn't understand why, her brother and Alice had a great victory today!

"Tsk~" Amaunata was helpless, and the ancient god of sun law could only speak more clearly: "Dragon Seat and Aaron deliberately did not let the second motion pass! Dragon Seat and Aaron respected the one that failed to pass. As a result, this shows that they respect the parliamentary system of the existing kingdom. So, do the great nobles also respect the first passed "Bill to Conquer Barbarians"? If they do not respect the "Bill to Conquer Barbarians" in the future, then will the Dragon Seat also respect it? Can we not respect the results of the "Attendance Handover Bill" and announce the forcible implementation of the second bill?"

"The giant dragon and the soldiers who broke in from outside told all the members of the council that Dragon Seat has the ability to do this, but she chose to respect the result. Then all members must also respect the appointment of General Zhengyi, otherwise when the time comes If you can lift the table, the Parliament can lift it, and of course the Dragon Throne can!" Amaunata was extremely satisfied with Aaron and Alice Searle's double act: "They tied these two things together and achieved a perfect balance. , each other is cause and effect, each other is external and internal.”

This is his ideal state of complete balance on both ends of the scale!

"So that's it! My brother is so powerful!" Charlotte finally understood. The eldest lady just thought it was too strong. My Alice, my Aaron!

"I was originally worried that your fiancé was a bit too weak." Amanata rubbed her chin: "He would either give money or conditions to these great nobles, which would only make them feel He was weak and vulnerable and made people think he was afraid of Cormier's system."

"Now it seems that my worries are unnecessary." The ancient sun god closed his eyes easily: "You must grasp with both hands, both hands must be strong, and the right way is to keep the scales balanced."

"This is politics. Figure out who is your friend and who is your enemy. Make more friends and fewer enemies. Create factions and isolate others. In the end, the majority agrees and the minority opposes. , so that your plan can be implemented.”

"Aaron, you don't need my guidance. Behind him... there must be guidance from an expert."

…………

On the evening of the end of the Kingdom Council, a grand general's inauguration ceremony was held across Susar.

The lights were brightly lit outside and candles flickered inside.

The dressed-up Alice Searle and Aaron sat opposite each other. The Princess Regent wore a long royal dress, appropriate makeup, and a delicate face glowing with a flush of red. She was extremely beautiful under the candlelight.

The regent princess took the initiative to fill a glass of wine for Aaron: "In this case, you will officially become the general of the conquest of the barbarians. If there are any nobles who dare to oppose or obstruct in the future, we can use the attendance report to deal with them."

"The attendance handover system is a good system, but it is only suitable for implementation on a completely isolated island like Yongju Island." Aaron took the drink from Alice Sayre: "I just want to scare them, Karatu's The sage said that this house is too dark and a window must be opened. Everyone will definitely object, but if you advocate taking off the roof, they will be willing to open a window."

Alice's scarlet beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance. The regent princess thought to herself that this system is really good. How did he come up with it?

"Looking back, it has been a long journey." Alice Searle returned to her seat. This time it was Aaron's turn to pour her wine. While her boyfriend was pouring her wine, the Regent Princess recalled In the past, she held up her face and admired Aaron's extremely handsome and charismatic face: "I started entering the military camp when I was 13 years old. The inheritance has never had anything to do with me. When my father and sister died one after another, who sat on the dragon throne I have endured a lot, I am iron-blooded, I am dictatorial, and I had no choice but to kill my brother-in-law. Whenever I think about these things, I can only hide my sadness deep in my heart. I still don’t know how to explain it to my father’s heroic spirit.”

"..." Aaron poured wine for Alice. He felt that the princess didn't finish her sentence, but just said "hmm" softly.

"If possible, I also hope that I can be like a princess, sipping Darjeeling black tea, eating scones and macarons in the afternoon sun. I also want to spend time with flowers, birds, and the moon, study books, and appreciate antique instruments. Live your life peacefully." Alice Searle slowly stood up from her seat, stepping on the carpet with her bright red rose heels: "But I am the daughter of Obeszil, and since I am the princess, I have the responsibility to The people are happy and the country is safe, and I want to protect the smiles on everyone’s faces when my father is in office.”

"Rights and obligations are always equal, Alice." Aaron followed the princess and whispered: "We are all like satellites, surrounding you like the sun."

"Sitting on the Dragon Seat is really an extremely difficult thing." Alice Serre's brilliant golden hair hung down from the back of her head like a waterfall. She put her hands behind her back and sighed: "Since sitting on the Dragon Seat, I have been intimidated all the way. , coercion, intimidation, manipulating power, sometimes belittling others, sometimes taking advantage of others. I no longer run on the bloody battlefield, but use rhetoric to confuse right and wrong, because I know that if I am not ruthless, I will not be able to sit on the dragon throne. .”

"But!" Alice Ser turned around, the dragon's power was fully reflected in her scarlet beautiful eyes. She grabbed Aaron's sleeve and pulled him in front of her: "There are nobles everywhere peeping at the Dragon Throne. The opposition between gods often turns the world into a sea of ​​fire. Sitting on the dragon throne is not a kind of enjoyment, but a kind of punishment, like walking on thin ice or facing an abyss!"

"Aaron, you like to use the power of gods very much, but you must remember that in order to prevent fire, careful use of fire is the key. People who stand above others must have an evil dragon in their hearts. The dragon protects, the dragon destroys, and the dragon Greedy, dragon power overflows."

"A dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon." Aaron held Alice Ser's hand: "The pioneers will eventually become corrupted."

"Yes." Alice Ser caressed Aaron's face gently. The princess looked at Aaron and then smiled: "If you think about it carefully, you are quite pitiful. You have become the last Salian for no reason. You spent your childhood in Manu You survived El's beatings and scoldings, and were assigned a mission without killing anyone. When you were attacked by a magician and injured, did you ever resent your fate or your father? If you were not born as Manuel My son, I won’t have to suffer like this.”

Alice Searle seemed to be talking about Aaron, but also seemed to be talking about herself, and the eyes of the regent princess gradually filled with tears.

we are the same.

Aaron also recalled what happened in his childhood. Manuel had always been a villain because he couldn't play a loving father, so he would rather let Aaron hate him and stimulate Aaron's potential, otherwise Salian would really That's it for now.

He didn't wait, and even said that if he hadn't died, he didn't know when Aaron would wake up.

"That's absolutely not the case!" Aaron whispered, and he squeezed Alice's hand tightly: "It is a great honor to be born as the last Salian and to become His Highness's champion knight, Aaron!"

Alice Ser nodded gently, and the regent's eyes were moist: "Me too, I am lucky to have you. Father, everything in Cormyr today is like a dream."

Aaron and Alice Searle looked at each other and smiled, with tears in their eyes.

"Your Highness, do you know? In fact, my love for you has always been limited to the physical level."

"Aaron?"

"I must admit that for a long time, my love for you has been limited to the physical body." Aaron, who looked sad, spoke proactively, regardless of what Alice Searle across from him thought: "I hate the Obeschier royal family. The sanctions against me, Salian, I hate that you always think so highly of yourself, sitting on the dragon throne and looking down at me. As you said, I never think that I have original sin. What does my grandfather and uncle's affairs have to do with me? Why should I pay the price?”

"When you recruited me into the palace, I knew that you only took a fancy to my talent as a Chaos Warlock. I knelt down in front of the dragon throne, talked sweetly to you, and peeked at the stockings under your skirt. I felt very uncomfortable. Because I know that at that time, I was a grasshopper that you could arrange with just one word." Aaron pulled Alice Serre to sit down. He ignored Alice Serre's increasingly dangerous expression: "So, I want Fall in love with you, but I don’t want to marry you, I once swore so.”

The face of the regent princess gradually turned red, mixed with anger and confusion.

"I don't want to get married, and I definitely don't want to give birth to an heir with Obeschier's bloodline, so I need you and I'm wary of you." Aaron said softly: "However, the situation has changed now."

"The strength I possess has exceeded that of Cormyr. I control 60% of Cormyr's external trade. Under my control, even the Purple Dragon Knights and the Duke of Ireland cannot refuse my terms. And you trust me even more, trusting a careerist who took away your virginity, the personal choice of the four evil gods. I am really grateful to you, grateful for your trust in me. In fact, you have been branded as the Saint of Chaos by me. As long as you want to attack me, I can counterattack you at any time."

"You are such a bastard! Aaron!" Alice Ser gritted her teeth and covered her belly. The regent gave Aaron a slap in the face directly: "I know you want to marry Eleanor and Charlotte, but you Only you have no plans to marry me!"

Snapped!

Aaron, who had a slap mark on his face, held Alice Ser on his body, hugged the female dragon's waist and looked at the fireworks outside the window. Listening to the sound of Egil and others having a drink, his eyes slowly began to grow. The ground is wet: "Don't worry, I don't care about these things anymore."

"This time I donated generously and donated a large amount of the harvest from Waking to the kingdom. It is to thank you for your trust in me. The so-called Iron Regent is just a heartbroken person who was cheated of his body. It's just a woman." Aaron shook his head: "Alice, although it's too late, please forgive me for treating you like this."

"You were deceived by me, you are completely innocent!"

"It was me, Aaron Salian, who made the mistake in my twisted and dark state of mind at that time, and with the blessing of my youthful and vigorous power."

"I will definitely give you a great heir, I will definitely hold a grand wedding for us, and I will share everything I have with you to repay my trust in you. I know that you have always refused to board the The Queen's throne is because of me, you are waiting for me, right?"

"I like you, Alice!" After saying that, Aaron bent down and bowed to apologize to the princess. He was a little choked: "Can you accept my confession? I really like you!"

"Aaron, you! You scum, bastard, scum!" Alice Searle could no longer hold back her tears. The regent princess pinched Aaron's collar tightly: "You actually know! You really understand! Doesn’t this further prove your despicability? I’ve been waiting, waiting! I’m already over thirty years old, over thirty years old!”

The Iron Queen's tears finally fell.

This is a belated confession.

finally come.
