In the Name of the Queen

Alina wanted to calm down her excitement, but she couldn't.

Hope came too quickly, and she was caught off guard.

She originally thought that returning to Jinyuan and Xidai was just a wishful thinking, but she didn't expect that the opportunity was right in front of her.

The citizens of Cité conquered the castle prison, openly resisted the provisional government, and rescued tens of thousands of political prisoners!

Although their heroic resistance was quickly suppressed by Marco's National Army, their resistance was by no means in vain.

Seeing Alina's obviously excited expression, Roland didn't say anything. He just poured her a cup of tea and motioned for her to speak slowly.

Roland played the role of patient listener.

When Alina talked about the drastic changes that had occurred within Jin Yuan Kingdom, he originally didn't care much.

After all, the internal political conflicts in Jin Yuan Kingdom have escalated to the point of real-person PK more than once, so it’s not surprising.

Until Alina told the news that the castle prison had been captured and tens of thousands of "political prisoners" were released.

Roland's face changed slightly.

He keenly smelled the smoke behind this matter.

He couldn't help but interrupt Alina and directly pointed out the key to the problem.

"Is Marco dead?"

Alina's originally excited expression froze in an instant.

She was silent for a long time, her voice a little lonely, "No. He controlled the situation. It is said that thousands of citizens were killed in Xidai City, and the guillotine was cut to the edge."

"No, you are wrong. He did not control the situation at all. If he really controlled the situation, so many people would not die. These dead people have family members and friends. Doing so will arouse public outrage."

Roland stood up and walked around the room. After a moment, he asked in a deep voice, "Can we deduce it?"

"I'm sorry, I'm the person involved and can't deduce it for myself."

This is very reasonable. It is difficult for a doctor to heal himself, and it is difficult for a fortune teller to predict his own destiny.

Roland thought for a moment, carefully weighed the known information, and had a plan in mind.

"Alina, I know you are in a hurry, but we can't be in a hurry now. To regain power, we need to be fully prepared."

"I understand." After the initial excitement, Alina gradually calmed down.

Roland is right.

This is not playing house, but a cruel struggle of life and death.

It doesn't matter if you are too well prepared, but if you are not well prepared and someone kills you, you will have no choice but to go to the River Styx together.

Alina lowered her head and asked in a low voice: "Roland, my mind is very confused right now and I don't know what to do. It's up to you to decide."

This was what Roland was waiting for.

At least Alina has not been dazzled by this good opportunity and still knows who is in charge.

After thinking for a moment, Roland reminded: "Alina, Marco's ability to suppress the resistance shows that his power still has the upper hand. The serious bloodshed in the capital shows that his power is no longer overwhelming. What we need to do most now is The key is to collect intelligence, be prepared, and wait for the opportunity.”

"Of course, we can't just wait, we have to add fire to this powder keg."

Alina's mind was completely confused. Since Roland had an idea, of course she was willing to listen.

She nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and accepted all Roland's suggestions.

Jin Yuan Kingdom has long been a powder keg. It is not even on the verge of exploding, but has already exploded once and was just controlled.

"We can spread news to Jin Yuan's country through various channels and stir up opposition."

Alina kept nodding, but still hesitated to remind Roland, "I'm afraid these are not enough. There are many people in Jinyuan who dare to resist, but there is no leader."

"Yes, I have."

Roland's eyes fell on Alina's cheek, and his meaning was obvious.

As the daughter of Mr. Carlo, the founder of the Republic, Alina's name is like a light shining in the darkness at this time, giving hope to the resistance forces.

People are most afraid of lack of light when walking at night, and the same is true for rebelling against the old order.

Alina still hesitated, "If you directly announce that I am still alive, it will definitely arouse Marco's vigilance, and he will probably think that you are protecting me. After all, enemies are also a kind of relationship. My death is directly related to you, so it is easier to being doubted."

"Of course it can't be said explicitly that we need a story, a story that inspires hope."

Alina's eyes lit up.

Roland is a writer who has won an essay competition award and is very good at making up stories.

In Alina's expectation, Roland thought for a moment and immediately stitched together a Riddler story.

"The dead saint resurrected from the flames. She from Colt will inherit the legacy of the ancient family and save the entire Golden Kite Kingdom! She will end the endless bloody killings, liquidate the villains who caused chaos, and get the country back on track. So people don’t have to worry about being put on the guillotine.”

"Is this really okay? I'm not a saint, and I'm not resurrected." Alina lowered her head in confusion.

Roland looked at Alina seriously and said softly: "If you can save the Golden Kite Kingdom, you will be the saint in everyone's heart. There is no doubt about it. As for resurrection, it just adds weight to your sanctity. "

"You were certified dead by the Ambassador of Jin Yuan Kingdom and the Queen of our country, and you just showed up alive. Wouldn't it make everyone a joke? So you must be resurrected."

Alina's heartbeat accelerated rapidly, but she still hesitated.

"I never doubt the feasibility of the plan. It's just that my authority is unshakable. Are you really assured?"

Alina's words were very tactful.

If she was supported by foreign forces and came to power, her legitimacy would be seriously lacking and she would definitely not dare to go against Roland in international affairs.

If she is the "resurrected saint", she will have absolute authority. It is common for her to be pushed to the throne by the people and become the emperor. It will be difficult for Roland to control her.

She doesn't want to owe Roland anything. Some things must be made clear.

Roland restrained his smile and said seriously: "Alina, it is too sad that friends don't even have this little trust."

Alina lowered her head suddenly, hiding her emotions, and whispered: "If the interests of our country conflict with your interests, what should I do?"

She didn't want to hurt Roland's interests, but she didn't want to sell out the interests of the country, so she was in pain.

Although she was more than 1,400 kilometers away from Xidai City, she was already considering how to deal with Roland after regaining power.

Roland smiled with relief.

Alina valued the agreement between them, but didn't want to harm the interests of the motherland, so she was embarrassed.

He had thought about this little contradiction at the beginning of the cooperation between the two sides.

"As long as our interests are consistent. The future situation in Rodinia is a struggle between the sea power countries headed by our Sussex and the land power countries headed by the Vladimir Empire."

"If you stand on my side, sea power will naturally prevail. If you stand on Sofia's side, land power will prevail."

Alina looked at Roland in disbelief, her voice a little floating.

"Is this enough?"

"Enough." Roland was very calm.

He did not comfort Alina, this was really his bottom line.

The current national policy of the Golden Kite Kingdom obviously wants to be a powerful country, and it prefers the Vladimir Empire when choosing allies.

If Marco consolidates power, the four overseas provinces will most likely be attacked by the two major powers.

Even if the best marshal is resurrected, it cannot break the deadlock of fighting on two fronts.

As long as Alina stands on his side, it will be a huge diplomatic victory.

"We are friends, right?"

Roland said softly.

As long as Alina can stand on his side on the sixth return day, it will be enough.

Let the future troubles be left to the future.

He had a feeling that rank seven was the pinnacle of ordinary strongmen, and from rank six onwards, extraordinary people would gradually fade out of the vision of ordinary people.

If you still cling to the power, status, and wealth of ordinary people, it will be difficult to make further progress in the future.

As long as he can get past Sophia, he doesn't care about the relationship between the Sussex Empire and the Golden Kite Republic.

Alina's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded vigorously.

Although she was in such a state of desolation, Roland still didn't treat her as a subordinate, and still regarded her as a friend.

As long as she could take power, the Golden Kite Republic would be Roland's firm ally.

This was her bottom line.

The troubles in the future would be left to the new leader in the future.

She just wanted to get back everything that belonged to her father and punish the traitors.

As for power? She looked at it less and less.
