Unchanged from the beginning

(I forgot to update it yesterday, so I will update it tonight)

Mo Ban's roar echoed in the hall, and the sound lingered.

This kind of relentless questioning is forcing Solandel to take a positive stance and ask her to define Kino's behavior, whether it is a regency or an act of authority.

If it is a regency, Kino's various actions have gone far beyond the scope of the regency, and they should be investigated and dealt with according to the law to get everything back on track.

If it is an act of abuse of power, it means that the queen clearly knows that the powerful minister is wielding power but does nothing. She must either admit that she is not worthy of the position or deal with the powerful minister immediately.

No matter what the Queen's answer is, she can no longer hold back the contradiction that has been concealed for four years.

Solandel pursed her lips and moved her cold eyes from Pockmark to the ministers: "You all think so too?"

The current situation is entangled and complicated. Instead of expressing one's position in the rapids, it is better to respond to the ever-changing situation with silence, without anyone speaking.

Solandel looked at Maban again and looked directly at him without hesitation: "I can answer your question head-on, but I won't choose from the options you gave me."

"Doguland, it's not me or him who has the final say, but we achieve each other's success, regardless of me."

"You think I don't know about the things you mentioned, about only knowing the regent but not the queen, and about the shadow king? I hear such voices from intelligence channels every day! But do you think I care?"

"I don't care at all what others think. I only care whether the kingdom is getting better day by day, whether the weather is smooth and the country is peaceful and the people are safe."

"I only care about whether my people will be oppressed, whether they will be as hungry and cold as before, and whether they will be able to show sunny smiles every day."

"As long as everyone can live with dignity, so what if I am regarded as a puppet by the world? So what if I give up the throne and leave a reputation of incompetence in the history books of future generations?!"

Solandel's eyes swept over the ministers, and her voice was stern: "If any of you feel that you have the ability to help me complete a comprehensive change within four years, then you should stand up now! I will let you be the regent for once! You too

Can be my shadow! Is there anyone?!"

There were lingering sounds in the hall, but no one spoke. It wasn't that they dared to answer, but that no one really believed that they could reach Kino's level.

Putting aside the political stance and the issue of monopoly of power, the changes in Doguland in the past four years are obvious to all.

Land and land annexation was completely broken, social wealth was redistributed, economic and national strength took off significantly, people's livelihoods throughout the territory flourished, and officialdom ills such as corruption, corruption and violations of laws were eradicated under the agency of the Death Bird.

Many kings in the past dynasties have spent their entire lives trying to achieve these amazing feats, but in the end they all succumbed to reality.

If Kino was not a foreigner, but a descendant of the royal family, based on his achievements in these four years, his status in future generations would be no less than that of the founding king, the "Ancient King" Doguland I.

It's a pity that he is an outsider after all. If an outsider is too close to power, he is destined to be criticized.

Maban's eyes darkened, and his voice became vicissitudes of life: "Your Majesty, you are sick in your heart, very ill. Your personal affair has caused you to lose your most basic judgment."

"A person's merits and demerits cannot be evaluated together. Current faults cannot erase past merits, nor can current faults be ignored based on past merits."

"No one denies Kino's great achievements, but this does not mean that you can condone his dictatorship. The state has a code and is governed by the law. The king cannot trample on the code, let alone a regent."

"And people can change. Didn't the dragon knight who once carved the words 'The dragon protects the laurel forever' in the blood oath also turn into an evil dragon with monstrous ambitions?"

"Can you guarantee that Kino van Helsing is not the next White Dragon Sura?"

Solandel's face rarely showed murderous intent.

No matter how intense the previous discussion was, it was still within the scope of official business and was at best a conflict of ideas and disagreements.

But now, Maban has brought out Lorna's mother to make excuses, and used the 500-year-old coup scandal to insinuate the current situation, which is already unbearable.

Solandel's eyes changed several times, and in the end they were even more gloomy than dead water: "Moban, what are you going to do? Do you want to force me to kill you, so as to gain a reputation for being outspoken and admonishing, so that you can leave your name in history in the future?

"

If we say that before, Ma Ban just felt that she hated iron and wanted to wake up the queen with her impassioned speech.

So now, when Solandel makes no distinction between right and wrong, saying that his passion is to gain reputation and want to leave a name in history, his heart feels like he has been stabbed hard, and a certain belief that was once firm is suddenly broken.

Pocket's eyes were full of sorrow. He took off the badge of the Assistant Minister from his chest and threw it directly to the high platform.

"Ding, ding ding ding" the badge made a crisp sound when it collided with the ground, and finally landed in front of Solandel.

"From the day I met you, I originally planned to dedicate my life to you and use everything to help you realize your ideals." Maban finally glanced at Solandel indifferently and turned away, "But now I see

Come on, I saw the wrong person."

Before Maban could take two steps, Solandel's cold voice sounded: "Where do you want to go?"

Solandel's eyes were sharp, like a sharp blade unsheathed: "You criticize my regent for no reason, and you are making trouble and roaring in the palace. Do you think you can resign and leave like this?"

"The imperial guard obeyed the order, captured Maban, and escorted him to the black gate!"

All the ministers could not help but gasp as they entered the dark prison. Being imprisoned in that place was not a matter of future, it was a matter of survival rather than death.

The imperial guards on both sides of the hall quickly stepped forward and directly pushed Maban down.

Ma Ban did not expect that Solandel would do such a cruel thing, and he became angry in his heart and cursed: "You don't listen to advice, indulge in personal affairs, and let powerful officials interfere in politics. Just watch! Doguland will be destroyed in front of you sooner or later!"

"

Solandel grabbed the badge on the ground and threw it back. She was so angry that her voice broke: "Shut him up!!!"

The imperial guard smashed Mo Ban's front teeth with a punch, leaving him speechless and dragging him out of the palace vomiting blood.

After Maban was taken away, the hall finally became quiet, with only the sound of the piano echoing leisurely.

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that during the quarrel between Solandel and Maban, the sound of the piano behind the scenes had not stopped, there were no variations, and the original piece was played from beginning to end.

This is a complete disregard. No matter whether Ma Bian is crying out loud or trying to name Bo, his existence is just a cloud in the eyes of those behind the scenes.

Solandel held her forehead and sat back on the throne, her expression full of tiredness: "If you have nothing to do, let's dismiss the meeting."

The ministers said nothing again, saluted Solandel one after another, and left the hall one after another.

The hall is empty and lonely, the queen sits alone on the throne, accompanied only by the sound of the piano.

I don’t know how long it took, but the final chapter of the song came to an end, and the gentle sound of the piano also came to an end.

"Ta, tap, tap" gentle footsteps sounded, and the figure walked out from behind the curtain and came behind Solandel.

The hand wrapped in white gloves passed through the hair and slowly reached Solandel's neck, wrapping around her like a poisonous snake.

The neck is one of the most vulnerable parts of human beings, and a life may be taken away if you are not careful.

If a person is willing to let you touch her neck at will, it means that she has entrusted her body and mind to you.

Kino's hand gently caressed Solandel's neck, as if treating the most precious work of art. She also gently leaned her head against Kino, closed her eyes and let him touch her.

Kino touched his hand from his neck to his chin, raised it slightly, and heard a soft voice: "You nod, and I will make the person who makes you unhappy disappear from the world forever."

Solandel showed a helpless smile and shook her head: "Ignore him, he is just a fool who only wants to rush forward without considering the importance. We still have a lot of things to do, so don't waste your time on him."

Kino's hand continued to caress: "As I said before, as long as you listen to me, you can get everything you want."

Solandel took Kino's hand, leaned her face on it and rubbed it gently, murmuring like a deer: "You won't change, right?"

Kino leaned over and found Solandel's lips, leaving a light kiss on them. Those amber eyes reflected the phantom light cast by the colorful window on the roof of the palace. The light and shadow were constantly changing, as if thousands of arcs were shining.

"From the beginning to the end, I haven't changed."
Chapter completed!
