Chapter 300 Your loneliness is self-inflicted(1/2)

It is really not easy to be a king. You will receive bad news every now and then, and you will encounter bad things anytime and anywhere.

Ulric really needed to vent - but apart from slashing with his sword, he really had no way to calm down.

Perhaps, the blood shed by the innocent maid who was chopped down could temporarily extinguish the fire in Ulric's heart.

But this time, the princess is not here, and no one can give him comfort.

So this time Ulric roared like a trapped animal in the garden of the House of Lords for a long time, and the entire House of Lords could hear his roar.

No one dared to enter the garden anymore.

Except for Feilina, who came to Lion City after a long journey.

"Ulric!"

Philina called the king's name directly and rushed into the garden of the Noble House.

But after seeing the dead maid in the garden and Ulric, whose eyes were as red as a beast, the question she originally prepared turned into a sad cry: "Are you... also crazy?"

"Sister...I understand my father now...Really, I understand him."

Ulric was sitting on the ground at this time, wiping the blood on his hands with the hem of his exquisite brocade robe, and his tone was unexpectedly calm: "He is not crazy, he is just lonely...as lonely as me."

"Alone? Then why did you declare Andrew and Amy to be heretics?! Why did you say Godric was a traitor?! They are all your relatives!"

Feilina suddenly became furious: "Since you are alone, you should cherish your relatives even more! You know clearly that they have been framed!!"

"Yeah... I know, I can even guess that this is something Brennus asked the Lion Knights to do..."

Ulric looked at Felina and showed a sad smile: "But, sister, what can I do? Can I ignore the Lion Knights and all the nobles in the northern region? In that case, the Lion Knights will still obey

My command?"

"So what?! Even without the Lion Knights, Godric will still be loyal to the kingdom! Amy and Andrew will also be loyal to the kingdom! They can resist any strong enemy for you!"

Felina yelled bitterly.

"Yes, they will be loyal to the kingdom... but they will not be loyal to me. Sister, your husband and children will only be loyal to you - they have killed too many lion knights and there is no turning back. Sister, they are only loyal to you now.

You can kill me and then put you on the Silver Throne..."

Ulric looked at Felina steadily and said softly: "Your father, my biological uncle, was the heir recognized by all the nobles back then... Sister, you could have become the queen.

Yes! Andrew and Amy are also fully qualified to inherit the throne!"

Felina's expression changed drastically. She took two steps back, as if she didn't recognize her brother at all, and looked at Ulric carefully again.

"Ulric... your princess is pregnant, I know, and I can understand why you would do this... but my family has no interest in the throne. I only hope that they all live well, that's all -

-You are also my family, and I hope you will always live well!"

Feilina said it very seriously, and her words must come from the bottom of her heart.

"I believe, of course I believe you, sister... You sent me to the throne back then, and of course you won't fight with me now. But, you also know, sister, this kind of thing is not something you can do without fighting -

-Those nobles who follow Andrew, those knights who follow Godric, and those careerists hiding in the dark... they will all fight in your name! I didn't want to fight for that cold throne back then, but what happened?

?You know, you told me back then - I can only sit on the Silver Throne, otherwise you and I will die!"

Ulric sat on the ground and spoke in a very light and calm tone: "Just like now...if I don't clear the way for my child to be born, then I'm sure he won't even be able to be born smoothly...

"

"...I understand that you want the princess's child to be the only heir. But why did you adopt Malbot as your adopted son before? You are asking for trouble!"

Felina looked at Ulric hesitantly.

"Sister, that was when I was undergoing treatment. I wasn't sure if I could cure it... I made Marbert my adopted son in the dark. I originally wanted to protect you and Andrew from being murdered..."

Ulric shook his head: "But who knew that my illness was cured by the princess, and she became pregnant not long after!"

"In this case, you can now banish me, Amy and Andrew, and our whole family can leave this continent far away! You don't need to label Amy and Andrew as heretics!"

Feilina was stunned for a while, and her tone became miserable.

"Sister...don't you understand yet? Only by making them heretics can we save their lives! Other crimes will not make them lose the legal right to inherit the throne..."

Ulric sighed: "I have ordered Count Leon to attack them - I know that Leon will definitely protect them. He looks so similar to Leonardo, and he has been with Godric and Amy.

We have a close relationship, so of course I can guess whose child Li Ang is. You know, I admired the Blood Lion Knight Leonardo very much back then..."

"...Ulric, I can understand your thoughts. But the problem is, you can't understand us, and you don't understand Count Leon..."

Feilina also sighed deeply: "You have always admired Leonardo when you were a child, but you have forgotten what kind of person the Blood Lion Knight is! How could his son sit back and watch his friend being framed as a heretic? You

There will be big trouble..."

"I have been facing all kinds of big troubles from beginning to end in my life..."

Ulric stood up, hugged Feilina, and rested his head on Feilina's shoulder just like he did when he was a child: "I'm sorry, sister. No matter what, I have to watch my child be born. I have to

Leave the Knights of the Lion to protect him as he grows up. I must imprison you in the High Tower of the House of Lords...but I guarantee that your husband and children will not die."

Philina stretched out her hand to push Ulric away and said in an indifferent tone: "Maybe... But, Ulric, everyone in my crow village was massacred! They have experienced the Red Death.

They have survived wars, experienced the ravages of heretics...but now, they have done nothing, but are being massacred by your Lion Knights! Ulric, you have children, and so do they!!"

Ulric was stunned.

Felina turned back expressionlessly and walked towards the Noble House Tower: "Your loneliness is what you asked for! Your Lion Knights will also perish! I will watch all this from the Noble House Tower.

!”

…………

After returning to the throne room, King Ulric was no longer peaceful, and was full of rage.

His peace is only for relatives like Feilina.

As Felina said, Ulrike is in big trouble.

The matter between Godric and Amy has not yet been resolved, and the Lion Knights are dragged into Fox Town and will not be able to come back for a while;

Malbot became rebellious again, defected to the Bacchus Empire, and even became the northern governor of the Bacchus Empire. The Sava River Fort fell into the hands of the Bacchus Empire again, and the southern gate of the kingdom was opened.

The Qicha Fortress has not had time to be rebuilt, and now there is only a large burnt wall left, unable to stop any enemies.

If the Bacchus Empire launches an attack, Lion City will directly become a battlefield.

According to the military report that just came in, a cavalry unit of Emperor Marius even walked around the Qicha Fortress in a swaggering manner - this was definitely not to see Agathon's achievements, but to show off his power and intimidate the lions.

city!

At this time, Li Ang's foreign affairs officer Sarah was formally meeting the king in the throne room.

This difficult woman asked many difficult questions...

"Your Majesty, there are changes in the Sava River Fort, and the Bacchus Empire is eyeing it. Lord Li Ang has entrusted me to ask you for instructions - should the army in the eastern part of the kingdom immediately go to Weihu Town to exterminate the heretics, or should they go to the Sava River Fort to kill the traitor Marber?

special?"

"In addition, there is news from Brave Shield Castle that there are changes in the northeast of the kingdom, and the Jatu people seem to be resurrected..."

"There is also news coming from Dark Falcon Castle. The Crow Kingdom seems to be preparing to march to the north of the kingdom - they seem to have learned that Lord Godric's troops are not in Eagle Claw Castle. The northern part of the kingdom is currently extremely empty..."

Sarah had been conveying the information politely, but what she said made the officials in the throne room break into cold sweats - these things sounded like the kingdom was in turmoil and was about to end.

"...Li Ang is the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Region, and all military affairs are decided by him himself!"

Ulric really didn't know how to respond, so he could only grit his teeth and let Leon figure it out.

But he knew in his heart that the situation was not that serious.

Marbert's rebellion may be true.

After all, Ulrike had just ordered Malbot to repay the huge sum of money not long ago, and got back 700,000 dinars from Brennus and Malbot—returning the principal with interest.

It is indeed possible that Malbert would become resentful because of this, and since he knew that he could not inherit the throne after the princess became pregnant, treason and surrender to the enemy was indeed possible.

But the Bacchus Empire would not launch a large-scale attack in a short period of time, and Ulric knew this.

"Your Majesty... Lord Li Ang hopes to get some clear instructions - is Duke Brennus trustworthy at present? Can Marshal Li Ang recruit troops from Qiaoyan Bay to cooperate in the battle?"

Sarah asked another question that was even harder to answer...

Say it's trustworthy?

Then Leon will definitely send a marshal's order to recruit Brennus' troops to attack the Sava River Fort, and even directly ask Brennus to attack his son Marbert... It is reasonable to rebel.

Say you're not trustworthy?

That's it. If the grand leader of the Lion Knights is not trustworthy, can other Lion Knights still trust him?

What would the Lion Knights think?

The entire Lion Knights may be gone...

"Ah... I have a headache... Let's discuss it another day! Let Li Ang leave quickly and deal with the heresy first before considering other issues!"

Ulric simply claimed illness and ran away, but the historian in the throne room still faithfully recorded everything.



In fact, Li Ang's troops had already set off.
To be continued...
