Chapter 27 Vigrich II
Chapter 27 Viglic II (Part 2)
"Yes, Your Majesty," Lozalia said politely, "Apollyon's blood flows through us all."
The Queen's eyes glanced at his sons again, and finally stopped on Allen. "You look very much like your mother, Your Highness."
"Thank you, aunt." Ellen said sweetly.
As much as Allen looks like his mother, he doesn't look like himself. Not only in appearance, but also in their personalities, father and son are completely different.
No matter what happened, Alan would go to his mother as if his father never existed.
And Dia loves her biological son the most. Although she is a good wife and works hard to be a dedicated mother, she pays too much attention to Allen, and even Vigrich
Jealous of the relationship between mother and son.
Allen would always complain to Dia that he did not give him enough care, but in fact Allen had never opened his heart to him. The child would only make excuses for his behavior.
"Where are Ludomir and the Leos?" Dia asked, "Are they in the Hall of Ashes?"
"Ludomir is not here. No one has seen him since his father's funeral." Lozalia shook her head. "Leo may be here, but he doesn't want to be found."
"Don't want to be found? What does that mean?"
"He is no longer the good brother you used to be, good sister." Lozalia said. "The death of his father also hit him hard."
"Please forgive me for King Izdor's matter," Viglic said to Lozalia.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor," Lozalia said, "Thank you for the letter of condolences you sent earlier."
"How did he leave?" Dia asked softly.
"He passed away peacefully," Lozalia replied, "the priests used mandrake smoke to ease his pain. They say his soul was taken by Hedar to the wise star-god Mera."
"That's good. Mera is a very suitable home for my father." Dia said with relief, "Where is he buried? I want to see him."
"My father, my grandfather and my ancestors are together in the tomb of the Jagerska Palace," Lozalia said.
"You are now the new ruler of Vivalia, King Izdor will be proud of you." Viglic said.
Izdol spent his whole life trying to figure out what the nobles wanted.
He had high hopes for Ludomir Korva, and the nobles naturally understood it. He felt that Ludomir could become a good king, and the nobles thought so too.
A good king is a remedy that can heal a kingdom, but a poison that can kill dukes.
"I hope so," Lozalia said bitterly, "but I may not be the ruler my father expected. He never wanted me to succeed him."
It was precisely because Izdol did not want his youngest daughter to succeed that the nobles elected her as queen, Viglic thought. This was an exploitable opportunity for the nobles of Vivalia, and for him
The same is true.
"Sometimes what is expected of you is not the best, Auntie." Ellen said, "I believe you will be an excellent queen."
"Thank you, nephew." Lozalia smiled slightly, "I will try my best."
"Your Majesty the Queen, I heard that you will choose your future husband at your coronation." Viglic looked into Lozalia's green eyes and said.
"Word spread really fast," Lozalia said. "This is indeed my plan."
"Then do you have a suitable candidate in mind?" Viglic continued to ask.
"Husband, I don't think now is a good time to discuss politics." Dia scolded him.
"It's okay, sister," Rozalia stroked Dia's arm, "I'm still thinking about it, Your Majesty the Emperor."
Viglic nodded. Although he didn't want to express his intention to let Zhuo Ke marry her, he already had a decision in his heart.
Jaros Perk, Duke of Ernoburg, has a good proposal. Supporting him as king will allow the Hastza Empire to regain Vivalia within his own lifetime.
But the kingdom only surrenders to the Hastez Empire as a vassal, and although the mess of the nobles can be solved by Yarus, Lozaria's brother Ludomir and his black generals are still a hidden danger.
Let Drok and Lozalia marry to bring the empire's influence to the north. Their descendants will inherit the Hastzar Empire and will be the best candidates to be king of Vivalia.
As long as their own strength and authority are there and even a little coercion and inducement are used, the nobles will not act rashly.
At that time, the entire kingdom will most likely be directly brought under the rule of the empire. If Hastza can help Vivalia abolish the king-selection and parliamentary systems while the queen is in office, the future succession to the throne will become undisputed.
The queen is young and frail, unable to take on the role of ruler of Vivalia on her own.
The person who marries her and the family behind him will definitely get the key to the kingdom's power. If she chooses Zhuo Ke, then the golden double dragon flag of Apollyon will fly on the future Smorg Castle.
No matter what, Ludomir Korva will be a thorny problem, and Vigrych still needs to figure out the Queen's brother's intentions.
He has been working hard to rebuild the empire's former glory all his life. Vivalia will be the most important move during his reign, and he does not allow himself to make any mistakes.
Zhuo Ke on the side was staring at Queen Lozalia as if fascinated. In the presence of such a beautiful woman, even the most reserved boy would inevitably be moved.
"After a long journey, you must be exhausted," Lozalia said. "I have asked Sigmund to arrange the best rooms in Smorg Castle for you. Please let my attendants take you there.
." After that, the queen waved her hand to the servants in the courtyard to lead them the way.
"I want to go see my father first, sister." Dia said.
"Of course, sister," Rozalia waved her hand again, asking the attendants to prepare.
"Let us go together," said Viglic, "he is my father-in-law, the grandfather of the children."
The King's Tomb of Vivalia is located directly below the Jagerska Palace, and Vigrych only read about it in the books of scholars.
The tomb was built by Cajetan Korva the Pious, the second king of the Kingdom of Vivalia. As his nickname indicates, he was a loyal believer in the stars and gods.
There are three doors at the entrance to the tomb. The first door is engraved with the star god of death, Hedar, the extraditer of souls. His three arms carry his shroud, and he takes the souls of the deceased to the stars;
The second door is engraved with the god of justice and law, Quonos, with his eyes closed and holding a scale and a scepter. He will judge what the deceased did in this life and decide the destination of their souls;
The third door is engraved with the star god Nemir, who will refer to the suggestions of the gods and make the final decision.
