How To Wear a Goddess Statue

This palace change started off guard and ended very quickly, as if the situation had turned upside down overnight, and the world overturned.

After a lapse of ten years, the palace, which symbolizes the supreme power, has finally returned to its original owner.

In the early morning of this morning, in the royal court, all the ministers rushed to their respective positions before the start of the court meeting as usual.

Some people are worried, some people are nervous, some people are sweating, some people are old.

Although the scale of the confrontation last night was not large, the movement of the gate guards entering the palace could not be hidden.

He closed his eyes, for fear that something might happen.

However, there was no movement in the middle of the night, and the outcome was probably already decided.

So what is left in the end...?

In the speculation and anxiety of everyone, the open-air shadow clock outside the hall moved to the place where the scale was, which coincided with the black line.

At the same time, the attendants rang the metal bells in turn to announce the time for the court meeting.

Everyone was suddenly quiet, only the sound of unhurried footsteps could be heard outside the hall door. .

The princess with black hair and golden eyes.

Eleuil walked along the broad road with scarlet carpet in the middle of the royal court, and passed in front of the vassals standing on both sides.

At the end of the road is the red-golden throne. The golden leaves engraved with the names of the Soran kings of all dynasties are cast into a shape similar to a crown, and placed on the top of the high seat.

Eleuil stepped onto the stage, turned to face the hall, glanced at a group of powerful ministers, and then sat on the throne without hesitation and without pause.

Several guards stood behind her, lined up from left to right, guarding silently.

Eleuil put her hands on the wide armrests on both sides, her back was naturally straight, and the crown-shaped gold leaves clustered on the top of the chair. A crown of pure gold.

Facing the ministers with different expressions, the corners of Eleuil's lips twitched slightly.

"As you can see."

"Horst committed a serious crime and defected out of the city overnight last night. From today onwards, I will act on my behalf."

Such a statement is beyond the expectations of many people.

head?

What's more, Horst escaped from the royal city, not just died...

When some officials were muttering in their hearts, a few people who received news soon after the incident ended last night stood up.

First, the noble elder Podol.

Then the pragmatic leader Carlton.

Until the high priests of the temples came forward, the few officials who had a wait-and-see attitude from beginning to end realized that it didn't matter whether they expressed objections or not.

The prime minister stood on the spot with a livid face, holding on to not lose his composure, and the officials around him moved away from him, intentionally or unintentionally.

As a loyal representative of Horst, the prime minister has gradually felt powerless in the past three years. Although he is supposed to be the head of the ministers, the power of this position is basically conferred by the king.

The power of the monarch itself, and the monarch's trust in the person in this position, determines the power of the prime minister.

Even when Horst was on the throne, the power in the hands of the prime minister has been shrinking, and if the princess is in charge of the king, what will happen to his future?

To oppose is death, to obey is death…

The prime minister raised his head, took a heavy breath, and became the first official to raise an objection.

"What the princess said, please forgive us and we can't believe it."

"His Majesty Horst has always been lenient, merciful, and diligent in governing. This is obvious to all. And you launched a mutiny last night and besieged the palace, everyone knows it."

"The so-called winner or loser, you won in the end, it's not difficult to understand that the crime should be placed on Your Majesty, but it's really chilling."

Speaking of this, the prime minister shook his head sadly: "You can use this method to deal with Your Majesty, and you can use the same method to deal with innocent people who disagree in the future, just like using all kinds of vicious methods in the monarch's backyard. Madam Wang."

"Needless to say, let the guards drag me out now!"

As soon as these words came out, some people in the audience couldn't help but look up and peek at Eleuil's expression.

The princess asked with a half-smile, "Who said I was going to kill you?"

"Even if you say you don't mind, it's hard to convince people, maybe one day those who are loyal to His Majesty will die in the wrong—"

"Stop." Eleuil raised her hand and said casually, "You can't talk nonsense, otherwise, Your Excellency Prime Minister, someday you will fall over and have a sudden illness, but if there is anything good or bad, Shouldn't it all be counted on my head?"

The prime minister was speechless for a while, and this was indeed his idea.

Eleuil looked away from him and looked around. No one in the forces that followed her showed a strange expression, but those who chose not to express their position were a little swayed.

This is an unavoidable phenomenon, no matter when, there will always be people who are swaying, but as long as they come up with something powerful that can convince them, they don't have to work hard for it.

"I planned to go into details after the trial court announced the results. However, since the prime minister has raised questions, I can't ignore it."

"The crime that Horst committed was to murder the former king and frame it for the former queen." Eleuil lowered his eyes, "that is, my parents."

Murder the King!

Horst crouched on the late king's coffin and cried in the dark, many people still remember it, and some poets praised his brotherhood to the late king - but if the crime is convicted, before Horst The impression will be completely subverted.

The prime minister didn't know anything about this matter. He was one of the powerful ministers when the previous king was on the throne, and he didn't have much interaction with Horst at that time.

Hearing the words, he forcefully said calmly: "This is a slander with empty words, so many people didn't find the problem back then, if it's really what you said, how did the princess know?"

Eleuil couldn’t help but replay the scene in front of her eyes.

Blood, gold scissors deep into the chest, Horst's hideous face.

"I saw it with my own eyes. When Horst attacked the father and forced my mother to commit suicide, I was also in the bedroom."

The corner of the Prime Minister's mouth twisted.

Not waiting for him to question, Eleuil continued: "Of course, I can't win people's trust based on what I see, I know that."

"But Horst left evidence. He did not dare to let his father's soul return to the kingdom of the gods, so no funeral was held for him."

"What are you kidding? We all attended that funeral!"

Eleuil sneered.

"Yes, Horst gave the air a funeral - the coffin that was used for the ceremony by the Ilu River was empty, and so was the one sent to the royal tomb, and the real father The king and queen were dumped in an unnamed cemetery outside the city and buried in black sarcophagi that suppressed sinners."

There was a slight inhalation sound from several people under the stage, the prime minister opened his eyes wide, and his hands were folded into a ball.

"This, this is ridiculous."

"Then, do you want to open the royal tomb now and see if there is an empty coffin inside?"

"..." The prime minister lost his words.

Eleuil gave him a cold, majestic look.

"Horst fled in a hurry last night and did not take all his cronies. Among them, those related to Horst's crimes have been handed over to the trial court, and the result will be obtained soon."

"Father's royal mausoleum was just finished in the past, and it was completed in a hurry without a good finish. For this reason, it needs to be repaired again. You will also see whether it is an empty coffin."

"When everything is ready, I will redo the funeral for my father and mother and move it into the royal tomb."

"Do you have any comments?"

A brief silence.

Carlton and Podol looked at each other and stepped forward: "Follow Your Majesty's will."

It's natural to change your mouth, from the gap between "His Royal Highness" to "His Majesty", everything is silent.

The officials followed suit one after another, and the rest at most did not speak.

When the court meeting was over, Eleuil returned to the bedroom.

It was still the former queen's dormitory, which was cleaned overnight for her temporary residence.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar furnishings, Eleuil rested her chin with one hand, stirring the milk in the cup with a spoon in no mood, and suddenly remembered that she had also told Luotas that.

—about how she found the empty coffin.

When the funeral was held, Horst took the coffin to the Ilu River for baptism. All the officials of the rank basically went there. The palace was deserted and desolate, and everyone was in danger.

Eleuil was kept in her room, but Horst didn't seem to take her seriously, and only sent two guards to guard her.

The young princess got rid of the guards and ran to the small room of the mortuary, wanting to see her mother for the last time, but never expected to see her father's body.

Blood-stained, dying, huddled in the same black sarcophagus.

In an instant, Eleuil understood.

Horst did not hold a funeral for his father at all, he brought an empty coffin.

At that time, the little princess knew that this matter could not be made public, otherwise Horst would not keep her.

I wanted to secretly run to find my father's old minister, but was stopped by Horst's people on the way, and was sent out of the king's city with secrets and exiled to the faraway Katiera.

That's why I met Luodus...

When the princess recalled this incident, the subtle expression on Luodus' face, and the hand that fell on the top of her head and rubbed lightly.

She sat quietly for a long while, then suddenly raised her hand on her black hair, imitating the angle and strength in her memory, no idea what she was thinking, and slowly rubbed it.

…a bit silly.

Eleuil lowered her arms and smiled lightly.
