Black Iron Crown

"What?!"

The queen, who was lazily lying on the bed and enjoying the green fruits sent from the southern border, suddenly shrank her pupils when she heard the maid's report, and stood up abruptly from the bed.

He didn't even bother to wear shoes, the expression on his face was first shocked and then flustered, it wasn't too exciting.

"Why? How could it be so fast? What happened?" The queen quickly walked up to the maid and stared at her closely, her pretty face was covered with frost, extremely dignified.

"No... I don't know..." Sweat dripped from the maid's face, and she stammered, "I originally wanted to wipe your majesty's body, but when I got to the room, I found that your majesty was not breathing. Already!"

"I... I really don't know anything!"

She was the queen's confidant, so the queen didn't suspect him, and she didn't suspect that the maid had lied to her.

Yin Fang gently shook her red lower lip, the queen pondered for a while and then said: "Call me Earl Redmara!"

After the maid hurriedly left the room, the queen's expression became both joyful and sad.

Earl Redmara arrived at the queen's room very quickly. He had already been in and out of the palace frequently, and the guards and maids were very familiar with it, so he didn't stop him.

"What happened? Your Majesty?" Earl Redmara said, looking at the queen who had already tidied her clothes.

He knew that something important must have happened, otherwise the queen would not have summoned him to the queen's bedroom at this time, and it was not appropriate for a courtier to be alone with the queen.

"The emperor... died..." The queen was quite flustered at this moment, stroking her chest with trembling hands, and said in a trembling tone.

"What... what?" Earl Redmara was also shocked when he heard the words, but after all, he was a person who had experienced strong winds and waves, and he was much calmer than the queen, a woman like her.

"When did this happen?"

"I don't know...but it won't be more than two days at most..." The queen frowned and looked at Count Redmara anxiously, hoping to get some comfort from him.

"In that case..." Earl Redmara's voice gradually became steady, and he said, "Then we should tell Grand Duke Mabula about this as quickly as possible.

Earl Weasley is out in command, and now there are only two of us in the royal family, he must know about this..."

Although the death of the emperor will greatly affect the atmosphere of the royal family and make the lords everywhere feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, it is not something that needs to be concealed from the pillar of the royal family, the Grand Duke Mabula.

Although the reason why the emperor was in a coma and couldn't recover was because of the queen's family, they did it very covertly, and they weren't afraid that Grand Duke Mabula would discover any clues.

Soon, Grand Duke Mabula, who was in a hurry, got the news.

His face was extremely ugly, and a touch of sadness flashed across his old face. He was a younger brother who followed the emperor to fight in the north and south, and he had a very deep relationship with the emperor.

"Didn't you find any signs before? How did you serve His Majesty?" Grand Duke Mabula asked sadly.

"I didn't have any symptoms, and I was very sad. That's my husband, my only support! Tears had already appeared on the queen's face, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Although the relationship between her and the emperor was close to zero, they still had some feelings after getting along with each other for so long, and it was not difficult to squeeze out some tears to deceive Grand Duke Mabula.

"Grand Duke Mabula, I understand your sadness, but I hope you can put the overall situation first. No one wants to see His Majesty's death. Now we should think about how to cause His Majesty's death. The impact is minimized!"

Earl Redmara couldn't bear to see the queen being questioned like this, so he opened his mouth to make a rescue.

Grand Duke Mabula closed his eyes and meditated, and the Queen's bedroom suddenly became silent.

After a while, Grand Duke Mabula said: "It's impossible not to mourn. My elder brother is a great emperor who is invincible in the world. His death must be known to the whole continent. He must die with supreme respect!"

"But... this kind of situation will make those restless lords even more eager to move! Now the royal family is in an extremely difficult situation!" Earl Redmara frowned, obviously not in favor of Grand Duke Mabula proposal.

The palace is very spacious and bright, the sunlight shining into the room is very warm, but at this moment the situation here is very grim.

"So what? My brother is dead! Are you going to let him die quietly without anyone knowing? The royal family still has so much power to fight, we don't need to hide it like this!"

Grand Duke Mabula admires and respects his elder brother the emperor very much, and he will never allow his brother who has created a peerless feat to be like a weed that no one cares about.

Grand Duke Mabula is very prestigious and powerful. When he said this, Earl Redmara and Queen could not refute. They could only agree with his words and announced the news of the emperor's death to the world.

All of a sudden, the already extremely turbid empire became even more turbulent, and countless eddies began to brew under the seemingly calm but turbulent water surface.

The lords of the royalist party expressed their sorrow, and at the same time wanted to know the cause of His Majesty's death. After confirming that it was correct, the lords once again started a large-scale military expansion operation.

They knew that although the emperor was lingering and ill before, he was still a sea-sustaining needle that suppressed everything. Now that the sea-sustaining needle has fallen, the stormy sea will not be far away.

On September 15th, the 23rd year of the empire, one and a half months had passed since the death of the emperor. The lords from all over the country either came in person, or sent envoys who were worried about their own safety. In short, the lords of the whole empire gathered in the imperial capital to participate Emperor's funeral.

The archbishop of the empire read out the achievements of Emperor Caffett the Great in his life. When he read the words "this is not a simple conqueror, but a great emperor who gathers the power of all Redcar people", many The nobleman even shed tears.

Indeed, he is a great emperor who has not appeared in a thousand years. At least in the history of the Ridkar nation, there is no one who can compare with him.

The gorgeous funeral went on for a whole day, and the complicated ceremonies were endless, but no one felt impatient.

No matter what thoughts they may have in their hearts, paying their last respects to such a great emperor is what all of them would love to do.

After the funeral, the queen, dressed in plain white, looked haggard and thanked every lord and his envoys, including members of the royal family.

Naturally, Reiner also went, and the banquet and competitive competition could only be ended in an anticlimactic manner. He took several important vassals of his on horseback, took the Scarlet Griffin Knight and their followers, and rushed to the Attended the emperor's funeral.
