Demon Royal Family

As the last dragon fell with a cry, the Snow Elves were victorious and took back their homeland.

Victory is the sweet fruit. The soldiers held high their long bows and swords, and praised the glory of the snow elves with high-pitched and melodious songs.

Surrounded by soldiers, the king returned in triumph, his golden cloak fluttering in the wind.

The soldiers thought they would receive praise and blessings from the snow elves civilians. However, after walking out of the cave, they were shocked to find that there was no cheering crowd in front of them, no doctors offering snow leaves to sweep away their fatigue, only mages surrounding them. group, the staff exuding magic light was aimed at them.

The king's eyes were filled with shock and anger, "Do you want to rebel?!"

The snow elves and civilians watched from a distance, surprised and confused.

The Queen came out more and more, and the people spontaneously moved out of the way. After she came to the mage group, she loudly said: "After the investigation of Marshal Ice Star, coupled with the conclusive evidence, I discovered the truth about the Dragon Disaster. All of this is It’s a conspiracy of a careerist!”

Kelis looked at the king with a complex expression: "You caused the dragon disaster and used the lives of your people to consolidate your throne. You are not worthy of becoming the king of the snow elves!"

Regardless of whether they were soldiers, civilians or mages, all the snow elves present were in an uproar.

"What?!"

"The dragon disaster in Crystal Snow City turned out to be the king's conspiracy!"

"impossible!"

"what happened?"

The king was furious and stared at Kelis closely: "Keris, are you crazy?!"

Kelis turned to face the people and said in a painful tone: "Although I am the queen and the king's wife, I cannot sit back and watch Gaudes perish in the hands of careerists. We cannot violate the ancient teachings of our ancestors - ambition and peace are coins. The positive and negative aspects of each other will never appear at the same time. Those who sacrifice their compatriots for personal gain are not worthy of calling themselves children of ice and snow!"

"I, Queen Kelis Binghua, will judge King Edton Snowfeather here and banish him!"

Kelis presented two pieces of evidence and told all her guesses and reasonings. The snow elf civilians looked at each other in shock.

At this time, an officer from the King's faction shouted: "The evidence can be forged. Marshal Ice Star died in battle, how can you determine the authenticity of the evidence!"

Kelis shook her head slowly and said in a heavy tone: "The palace has been turned into ruins, and all traces have disappeared."

The officer said coldly: "Her Royal Highness, since you cannot prove the truth, then I can understand your current behavior as a coup!"

Kelis solemnly said: "The truth and facts will not become false due to insufficient evidence, unless they are deliberately distorted. People, what I say is the truth, and I am responsible for Gaudís..."

King Edton stepped forward and interrupted Kelis's words. He said calmly: "Only the elders have the power to judge the king. You are not qualified. Kelis, you are slandering your king now." , soldiers, arrest the queen immediately."

The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to. The officer did not hesitate and ordered: "The first team of Xuefeng Legion will attack and arrest the queen immediately."

His subordinates obeyed the order and walked out of the team.

Suddenly, the mage group took action, and a line of ice magic struck in front of the soldiers, drawing a line.

Elangco said coldly: "Once someone crosses the line, the mage group will take full action!"

"yes!"

The toughness of the mage group suppressed the soldiers, and they hesitated to move forward. Mainly due to psychological conflicts, they didn't know who to believe.

The scene was deadlocked.

The situation is tense!

At this time, the king spoke and looked at Kelis coldly, "It is a waste of time to continue the stalemate. I request arbitration from the Presbyterian Council and invite the elders!"

The snow elves and civilians nodded one after another. The elders were highly respected and they believed in the elders' judgment.

However, Kelis shook her head: "Impossible."

The officer looked sarcastic: "You are afraid that the elders will make a fair judgment and your political reform will fail."

"We only trust the elders!"

"Yes, I don't dare to invite the elders, because I have something in my heart."

"The Queen seems to be lacking confidence."

"The queen must have framed the king."

"Is this politics or a family matter?"

Kelis looked around at the confused people and said loudly: "The patrol received news ten minutes ago that the elders were assassinated and all were killed!"

The Snow Elf people were shocked.

The elder was actually killed!

The king's expression suddenly changed, he pointed at the queen and said angrily: "You..."

Kelis suddenly pointed at the king and said angrily: "This is all part of his plan. For power, he will do whatever it takes to clear all obstacles. As long as the elder is dead, he will be the most powerful person in Gaudis, and no one can disobey him." The order, this is what he wants!"

"Presumptuous!" Edton was furious, "You are slandering!"

He picked up the sword and strode towards Kelis. The mage group took action without hesitation, but the magic in the sky was cut off by his sword. Edton was powerful and brave. He was a powerful swordsman. He said loudly : "People, you have all been fooled by this woman. Since you can't make a decision, I will catch her myself. Time will tell everyone who is right!"

Edton approached Kelis, and suddenly, a sharp sword energy slashed out from the side, blocking Edton from him and Kelis.

Sagaro walked over slowly, followed by Sera. His eyes were like swords, scanning the whole place. Everyone he looked at felt their eyes sting. He said coldly: "The elder was killed, and I will be the judge of this trial." Host, do any of you have any opinions?"

The status of the guardian was even higher than that of the elders. The whole audience was silent and no one had any objections.

Edton was a little angry. He was only one step away from catching Kelis and taking the advantage, but Sagaro ruined his plan.

This was Sera's credit. After her impassioned lobbying, Sagaro was psychologically biased toward the queen, so he protected her in critical moments.

The situation changed again and again. The snow elf's attention was focused on the field, and he did not notice that the returning Ivo quietly blended into the crowd.

Ivo watched the situation coldly, without any fluctuation in his heart.

What the Queen meant by "protection" was "assassination"!

Assassinating the elder is Kelis' real request! And Ivo agreed to do the dirty work for the Queen!

There are several reasons, the biggest one is profit. Giving away the ancient Goya coins is a conspiracy of Kelis, who wants to tie Ivo into her camp.

Only if Kelis succeeds in the coup and gains power, will the ancient Goya coins in Ivo's hands be valuable. On the contrary, the snow elves may not necessarily recognize the ancient Goya coins given by a queen who failed in the coup. Not only are the ancient coins in his hand useless, they may even prevent him from leaving Gaudis safely.

Ivo had seen this a long time ago, but he chose to accept the ancient Goya coins and stand by Kelis to ensure his own interests.

He understood that the queen wanted to use him. It was impossible for Kailisi to let the snow elves assassinate the elders. She could only ask him, a foreigner with an interest. In addition to the ancient Goya coins, the benefits of the king's treasury also fell on her. Kailisi Si wants to impress Ivo with benefits.

Profit is the most fundamental starting point, otherwise Ivo would not be able to get involved in the internal fighting among the snow elves after he was full.

In addition to the benefits, another reason is that the paper handed to him by the Queen contained accounts one after another. Since Edton was elected king ten years ago, the four elders have successively obtained Edton in the past ten years. The amount of gifts was huge.

Ivo understands the meaning of the accounts. When the evidence is conclusive, the elders will naturally make a fair judgment. But in this case where the evidence cannot be self-proven, the elders will inevitably side with the king.

The elder is highly respected and can easily dominate the public opinion of the people and confuse people's thoughts. Once the king gets a chance to breathe, Kelis's situation will be very unfavorable. If the coup fails, Kelis's end will be very miserable.

Ivo assassinated the elder, eliminating the king's hidden side.

Moreover, the murder of an elder can arouse the anger of the common people, pour dirty water on the head of the king, and lead to the anger of the common people. The starting point of this coup is justice and failure is not allowed.

Sometimes, even if you stand for justice, you have to do the dirty work.

Although Ivo chose to help the queen, his favorability towards Kelis plummeted.

God knows, in addition to the sense of responsibility in the queen's heart, is there any desire for power that can cause trouble? !

The Presbyterian was killed, and Kelis gained more than that. Once the coup was successful, she would become the winner with the last laugh, and step onto Gaudís' throne as queen without any accidents.

Even if the starting point of this coup is justice, selfish desires are still hidden under the banner of justice.

Ivo also speculated whether all this might be Kelis's plan, but he still remembered that his first encounter with Kelis was in the team of slave traders without any snow elves to rescue him, which dissuaded him. doubt.

His eyes returned to the scene.

In the midst of low-spirited discussions among the common people, the queen presented one piece of evidence to Sagaro, but the king kept denying it.

No one dares to mess with the trial presided over by the guardian. Even if the king has great power, no soldier dares to take action against the guardian who has a transcendent status.

There were many supporters of the king, and there were also helpers on the queen's side. Elenko and Sera argued with the opponent with red faces and in full enthusiasm. Ivo always felt that he had arrived at the scene of a debate competition.

Snow elves advocate freedom and equality, and their laws are loose. Many matters are resolved by public vote. It is too democratic. Ivo thought of the democratic politics of ancient Greece, which had many similarities.

Ivo believed that if there were no guardians in town, what would happen would definitely be a confrontation of intrigues, but under the shock of the guardians' strength, the king would have no chance to use any of his back tricks, and everything would be put on the table.

Strength is the most important thing. Without strength, most conspiracies are empty talk.

Sagaro listened to the Queen's accusation and the King's denial. He stood up and said calmly: "There is the most direct way to find out the truth. As long as the King takes the [Truth Potion], all lies will be exposed."

Everyone was shocked!

The king is the symbol of a kingdom. No one dares to propose this method of interrogating the king. This is an insult to the royal authority.

Only a transcendent guardian would dare to suggest this.

The king suddenly stood up, shocked and angry: "You are so bold!"

Sagaro's eyes condensed, his momentum rose, and fine sand and gravel floated around him. He said word by word: "Are you afraid?"

"I am the king!" Edton said angrily.

Sagaro said calmly: "In my eyes, people who are on trial do not have any cloak of power."

Ivo saw Sagaro take out a small gray bottle, the size of a finger, filled with crystal clear liquid. This was the sixth-level magic medicine Mantra Potion. After drinking it, he could answer all questions within five minutes and could not lie.

Edton roared angrily. He actually drank the truth potion without fear. A gray light lit up in his stomach. The gray light flowed upward and circulated three times in the king's mouth and tongue, exerting its effect.

The king cannot tell any lies for five minutes from now.

Sagaro asked: "Is the dragon disaster in Crystal Snow City related to you?"

"No!" the king said flatly.

The whole place was in an uproar!

Suddenly, the eyes of all the snow elves focused on Kelis, filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Third update.
