Vol 1 Prologue (1/2)

Queen Amelia’s Troubles

Queen Ae throne, with an armrest that was fully half as tall as she ith a troubledAllen Grecia’s croas too large on her shtest, it would slide down It had been a month since the coronation, but they still could not free anyone to adjust the size As all the blacks neeapons

The patrols around the city had been doubled in size, but that still was not enough to give the nobles in the city any sense of safety If it was not for some sort of Godly protection – or soo, the Golden Capital would have been captured by the rebel army ten times the size

Now she was paying for that luck

Theof political power After that battle, a full third of the offices and land were left empty

The land owned by the rebel faction’s leader, Archduke Crane was distributed a the war or those that at least joined the right cah enough, was just greedy enough when he was alive, that there was just enough to satisfy everyone

As for governhter, thethat they or their sons would notwith the burden of the state, but who knows if another Archduke Crane would e them?

Following that were the knighthoods, nor with one or two reiven to the common born commanders and to those who have some accoinal class, becoentlele word

Finally, the treasury gold, given to the others, ones that didn’t stand out nor achieved anything of great mention, but still lived to tell the tale But even if this was the Golden Capital, there wasn’t reat civil war

— Duke Lesting, the financialcosts after the as about to go insane These last few days, duringat her crown and necklace olf like eyes

The award cere with even a speck of value had already been given out

Other than the traditional reward, those with exemplary performances could also ask one extra favor fro too y

Within this e proposals, five of which were fro” not exist in their dictionary?

Another eight wanted to send their heirs into the palace as Prince Consort candidates (being lovers was fine too), four that wanted the rights to adjust taxation in their own lands, three that wants the position of the Captain of the Royal Guards… etcetera etcetera After negotiating with them they accepted alternative proposals, and happily went back to their drinking andthe Queen alone with a headache

Now, there was only one person left Thinking about that made Grecia very happy, but also a little uneasy

There really was nothing old coins, she could only write an IOU

This man – the records say his na impression

One roup oftheroup of elite scouts sent by the rebel faction; they also gained a lot of information from the ones that lived This made the Archduke Crane hesitate, the attack was delayed for a full two days, giving the Capital soh to hold on until reinforceuarantee a promotion of at least two ranks, even if not, it orth the title of Viscount

This man whose face was covered by a hood, the newly appointed Viscount of Soloris Valley (it was a remote ravine, the name means “Carefree Valley”, but it was probablyValley, there was even so around there), knelt before her,head down The hood hid part of his face in shadows, only his straight nose and thin mouth could be seen clearly His chin was s

Upon hearing that he could make a request, the Viscount spoke, pure Sistare Coue without a hint of accent

“Your Majesty, I do have a request It rant it After all, historically –“

The Queen’s eyebroitched, her mouth pulled doard almost unnoticeably

–Here it is, the sixteenth e of the first Queen of Sistare to a coend that had been passed down in history, but the idiots who happily continue to recount that story will never know, that the commoner was actually a bastard prince, and the first Queen was the child frouard, not the King’s own daughter It was an under the tables agreement in order to maintain the bloodline and power, that’s all

Her mind wandered for a while, so by the time she returned to her senses, she had already missed the first part of his narration So the Queen nodded her head as if she had been listening and cut off his speech
