Throne of Magical Arcana

The morning after the rain is extraordinarily fresh, and the sun has not reached the blazing time, bright and pure.

The specially selected dragon-scaled horses shone with silver-gray light, and carried knights with their heads up high across the avenue towards the Nekser Palace. The hooves of the horses were raised and lowered gracefully like dancing steps.

Behind them, Natasha, wearing a golden crown and holding the "Sword of Truth", an artifact of the state, sat on a horse and accepted the worship of her subjects. Behind her were the nine dukes who had arrived. Aristocrats big and small.

When they arrived at the Nekser Palace, the nobles dispersed one after another and went to the palace where the House of Representatives was located, waiting for Her Majesty the Queen to preside over her first noble meeting.

Natasha returned to the queen's bedroom with a calm expression, opened the magical circle, and cut off the outer and core parts of the Nexus palace. Then, with the help of Camille and the two maids, she took off her full body armor and put on a black court dress. , wearing the Hoffenberg family crest and a white paper flower on the chest.

After signaling the two maids to leave with her eyes, Natasha showed a little tiredness: "The pressure is really great, I don't know who is the enemy, who is the friend, and who is the supporter who can win. Compared with the familiar Violet, here It's too strange and depressing. When I was outside, when I didn't activate the magic circle, I didn't even dare to say much in my heart. His Excellency Ketonia, the 'Heart of Time', is in charge of the surrounding area of ​​Nexa Palace and the entire London. Tate's safety."

The implication is that she doesn't trust Ketonia very much.

"Actually, you don't need to inherit the throne. Holm's situation is many times more complicated than that of Viorit, and you are an outsider, and you lack actual support. It is easy to get involved in conspiracy and rebellion, and it is easy to Standing in the wrong place, falling into the abyss." The deserted Camille rarely said so many words, with soft love in his eyes, "Whether it is biased towards the Magic Council, or the Church, or balancing the two sides, it will bring you great benefits. Trouble."

Natasha smiled bitterly: "I know, even if I am so cruel that I ignore the existence of Granny Hathaway and many members of Holm's royal family, the United Church's suppression of the Magic Council may not be able to compete with the Council. Their strength has expanded too quickly. Now, in order to contain them, not only the Kingdom of Holm, but also the union of Briana, Camelot, and Calais is needed. Moreover, this will inevitably face the opposition and rebellion of the enlightened nobles, and even cause the kingdom's divided, plunged into severe civil strife, and left Holm in ruins."

"If it tends to be balanced, the church will definitely urge it, and I must also take care of the Violet family and my father. They are all in the most powerful place in the church."

"You know so well, why do you still make an unwise choice?" Camille blamed slightly.

Natasha shook her head, and said resolutely: "What reason do you use to shirk? If you directly express your unwillingness to assist the church, it is a serious 'betrayal of faith', and you will be punished by the holy city of Lance, and the Violet family will also be punished openly and secretly. Therefore, when I heard the news, besides the emotional surge in my heart and I was really unwilling to leave my father, I also had the idea of ​​using this excuse to shirk. Maybe I will go to the Kingdom of Holm in the future, but definitely not now Unfortunately, my father suggested that I come and let me know about my mother's regret."

"Since I can't find a reason to shirk, and I also have the blood of the Hoffenberg family, I should shoulder the responsibility of maintaining the Kingdom of Holm. I don't want to see civil war in the Kingdom of Holm, and the mother's precious My hometown has become hell, well, I came here with this idea in mind.”

"Besides, I am a devout believer, the patriarch of the Hofenberg family, and the Countess of Violet. The church should respect my wishes within a certain range, just like before."

"Natasha, that was before. If the situation in the Kingdom of Holm reached a critical moment, how could the church consider your wishes and would only ask you to make sacrifices for the Lord." Camille felt that Natasha's previous explanation was okay. , but the latter statement seems a bit written.

Natasha smiled and said firmly: "If it is completely against my will, I would rather sacrifice myself. It was an agreement made by both parties before the Lord hundreds of years ago that the church could not interfere with the royal power at will. If the church violated it, they would be heretics and the target of hostility from all the nobles. "

Camille looked at Natasha, helped her tidy up her neckline, and said softly, "Then what are you going to do? What do you want to change the situation in the Kingdom of Holm in the end? What is your future direction?"

"Uh, I don't know many things yet, and I can't confirm my thoughts yet." Natasha was a little dazed when asked.

Camille looked at her seriously: "Then figure it out as soon as possible. Whether you are biased towards the Magic Council, the Church, or maintaining balance, you must make up your mind as soon as possible, so that many things can be arranged and avoided as soon as possible."

She was referring to the affairs of the Principality of Violet.

"I understand that the concept of governing the country must be determined as soon as possible, so that laws can be promulgated in a planned way and gradually eliminate opponents, but this requires me to have a deeper understanding of the situation in the Kingdom of Holm. The only thing that can be sure now is that the last Enlightened aristocrats are absolutely unwilling to have the church completely wiped out, and the most conservative aristocrats certainly do not want to return to the state of the kingship hundreds of years ago, hehe, except for those like Gordon who completely dedicated themselves to the church, so I plan to Maintain balance for a while." Natasha nodded in agreement.

Then, she turned to look in the mirror, looked at the purple-haired woman in a black palace dress, touched the Hoffenberg family badge on her chest, and said to herself: "Before that, what I need to figure out is my What does the Lord really mean in my heart? What is the relationship between the Lord and the church? Only when you have a clear understanding of yourself can you make a plan for the future and be promoted to the eighth level. Weak people who have no resistance to legends, and it is difficult to see what Cardinal Sard is thinking and what he wants..."

She didn't tell the Grand Duke or Camille about the wavering of her faith. Except for Lucien, only Fernando and Hathaway could guess a little bit through the projection incident of Francis summoning Heaven Mountain submitted by Lucien. The same thing about Sard in this way.

"Okay, it's time for you to go to the House of Lords." Camille opened the door of the bedroom.

Natasha glanced at the mirror again, and saw that the purple-haired woman inside was full of hesitation and sadness, and suddenly felt something in her heart: "When I arrived in Holm, I became a queen, but I couldn't go to the Royal Tower of Magic to visit her. Granny Hathaway is dead, and I can’t go to Alto to see his unique magic tower and the often-mentioned atomic research institute. Any of my actions will be interpreted by the nobles with profound meaning. If I do the above two things, That undoubtedly symbolizes a complete fall to the Magic Council."

"It's impossible for them to see me beyond Your Excellency Ketonia... The distance in space is closer, but the distance in reality is even further away."

"Hopefully his new encryption algorithm will make our communications unbreakable..."

…………

In the hall of the House of Nobility, Natasha stood on the podium, accepted the worship of the nobles again, and then said succinctly:

"Now, I announce two things. First, prepare for the funeral of my grandfather and uncle. The whole country mourns for one month. During this period, all meetings of the House of Lords will be suspended. If there are any decrees or policies that need to be promulgated, please report directly to me. propose."

Both the king and the crown prince were called by the Lord, and Natasha's request was normal, so Rex and the others did not raise any opinions.

Natasha continued: "Secondly, since I don't know much about the affairs of the kingdom, and based on my confidence in the decrees promulgated by my grandfather and uncle, within six months, unless there is an emergency and no precedent can be found Otherwise, I will not approve any proposals to change the current laws, policies, and ministerial positions, please continue to maintain the prosperity of the kingdom as before."

"What?" The nobles were surprised one after another.

Rex, wearing a white wig, stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, there are many hidden problems in the kingdom that need to be dealt with in a timely manner. Wouldn't it be too extreme not to approve any proposal?"

"Before I came, relying on these laws, policies and the efforts of the ministers, the kingdom has been in a state of prosperity and development, maintaining a peaceful and united situation. Is it because they are not applicable just because I came? In just six years In a few months, they will turn from beneficial things to very harmful things?" Natasha straightened her back and said vigorously.

This made the nobles who were used to the old King Feltis and the frail Prince Patrick suddenly uncomfortable and felt a lot of pressure.

"No, that's not what I mean. It means that they may not be able to keep up with the current situation." Rex argued that he didn't want to be judged as slandering the previous king in the conservative Holm Kingdom.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Earl Haisong, was relieved, and his position seemed to be saved, so he stood up to refute Rex's words: "Her Majesty has made it very clear that if something other than the situation happens, such as which minister is found out If there is a problem, then she will definitely change, but before that, continuing the previous laws, policies and personnel will help the kingdom overcome the turmoil when two noble figures were called by the Lord successively, and I agree with this proposal."

Although those with vested interests in the past feel that they have not been able to go further and feel a little regretful, their own interests have not been damaged, and it is still acceptable. Therefore, both conservatives and liberals have expressed their approval-how can they enter the House of Nobles? Possibly not a vested interest?

"One more thing, I will bestow manors, villas and property to the ten knights who came with me from the royal property. If there is no objection, then the meeting is over and preparations for the funeral begin." Natasha looked sharply at the following noble.

The nobles had no room to express their opinions on how to dispose of the royal family's property, so they stood up one after another and sent Her Majesty the Queen off.

When he got outside, Camille took a closer look at Natasha: "Well done, the Grand Duke also told me not to let you act carelessly."

She believed that the position of Violet Countess in the past ten years had given Natasha a lot of training.

Natasha smiled and looked at the garden in front of her: "The new alien space is rich in both population and material resources, and the focus of the church and the council will definitely continue to be there in a short time, so I follow someone As the saying goes, first 'keep calm'."

What she didn't say is that the council has another focus, that is, the two great arcanists Fernando and Hathaway reversely decipher the "fission" and "fission" from the legendary spell models such as "Eternal Blazing Sun" provided by Lucien. The mystery of "fusion fusion" - many experimental phenomena, Lucien has no way to explain, because it depends on the discovery and research of microscopic particles such as neutrons, so it is directly pushed to Aitna, explained as relying on the power of Yinyue and the world As a result, the two great arcanists had to devote themselves to research in this field. Of course, with the spell model, this is much easier than exploring without direction.

…………

Allinger, Lucien stepped into the long-lost Atomic Research Institute.

After Fernando confirmed the existence of atomic nuclei by bombarding gold foil with a flow of helium nuclear particles, and Lucien found protons by bombarding nitrogen with the same particle flow, and established his new alchemy system, the elemental magicians went crazy, and other factions of magic The masters are also crazy. More and more qualified arcanists are starting to bombard all kinds of weird things with particle streams, hoping to find something. Therefore, Lucien saw that there are several more similar objects in the atomic research institute. Magic circles and alchemy devices, such as the electromagnetic cyclotron he "invented".

"Teacher, are you here? I was looking for you!" Katrina and Leilia said in surprise and surprise.

"What's wrong?" Seeing their expressions, Lucien seemed to be a good thing.

Katrina smiled brightly, "Teacher, we discovered a strange phenomenon when we were doing ultra-low temperature experiments. When the temperature drops to different ultra-low temperatures, the resistance of different metals will disappear!"
