At this moment, a man sitting on the throne heard the news coming from the front.
There was no expression of joy on his face.
On the contrary, it is a kind of gloom and bleakness.
The messenger who delivers the good news is left scratching his head.
Ask weakly: "Your Majesty, what are you worried about?"
The king sitting on the throne sighed helplessly, "The Kingdom of Ankara no longer exists. What we have to face now is the Holy See of Light, although they have now repelled their invasion.
But things in the future will not be so simple. Many marquis in our kingdom have been instigated to rebel, and have secretly defected to the Holy See of Light."
His Majesty the King spoke with a hint of helplessness.
It sounds like the end of the world.
His somewhat old hands supported the armrests on the throne, and then supported his somewhat heavy head.
The sadness on his face was like the sludge in the sewer that could not be dissipated.
Even the eyes were covered with dark circles and deep red bloodshot eyes, which was enough to show that he was worried about this matter.
At this time, a young palace minister couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty the King, even if the Kingdom of Ankara no longer exists, their royal family has been usurped by the Holy See of Light.
But we still won victory on the border, and we also captured their first deputy leader. In this case, the Holy See of Light is not as powerful as imagined, why is His Majesty the King worried?"
Everything he said was true.
According to the current status.
Since the war broke out on the border, many lords within the king have been instigated to rebel and secretly defected to the Holy See of Light.
But after the victory in this war against the invasion, everyone probably re-evaluated the strength of the kingdom.
No more surrendering to enemy forces at will.
No matter what, it's a good thing.
But why is His Majesty the King so sad?
After the young minister finished speaking, the entire palace fell into silence again.
His Majesty the King was silent for about seven or eight seconds.
He said in a heavy voice: "You don't understand them. Even if we win at the border, it is only our victory. Other countries bordering the Kingdom of Ankara are all defeated at this moment without exception.
Some have even been invaded to the border of the capital, and the situation is critical.
In particular, the Holy See of Light does not know what kind of magic they use, and the more ordinary soldiers can directly burst out with the strength of warriors, they become crazy and bloodthirsty.
Now, many kingdoms are asking for our help.
The world is about to change...
The Holy See of Light has used its own power to absorb the power of the entire kingdom, and now that it is unleashed, no one can resist it."
His Majesty the King spoke deeply for a long time.
His whole body showed signs of decline.
No one knows at all the torture suffered by the royal family of the Kingdom of Ankara.
The Holy See of Light not only usurped their thrones, but also demoted them from the altar.
All the members of the royal family were directly sent to the guillotine. The other survivors are now in agony in the dungeon. The fate of all members of the royal family is extremely miserable.
He had received a secret envelope from the Holy See of Light.
There were bloodstains of royal members inside.
The envelope also warned him that if he did not become a member of the Holy See of Light, he would become the next royal family to be guillotined.
And he slaughtered all the friends, children, and blood around him.
Let the entire kingdom disappear into the long river of history.
His Majesty the King was originally very disgusted, but when he saw the contents in the envelope, he became more and more frightened.
I also saw a letter of distress from His Majesty the King of Ankara.
That's what the Holy See of Light specifically hates him for.
At this moment, De Tripoli was filled with joy.
It is in sharp contrast to the palace.
They all celebrated the victory in the border war. The Holy See of Light was successfully repelled by them. There might be several years of peace in the future, and they no longer have to worry about it.
There are also many people who brag about the strength of their kingdom's army.
What they don't know is.
An important event occurred a few days later.
His Majesty the Kingdom actually took the initiative to seek peace from the Holy See of Light.
Originally, everyone was overjoyed after the victory in the border war, but the sudden news caught everyone off guard.
No one reacted.
He even showed a look of disbelief.
Soon there was a lot of discussion.
"What exactly happened? Why does our King want to negotiate peace with the Holy See?"
"I am not sure as well."
"Didn't we win the border war?"
"That's true, but His Majesty the Kingdom actually took the initiative to seek peace, and the conditions above are very harsh."
Many civilians held newspapers in their hands.
The prototype of newspapers has already appeared in this world.
Therefore, a lot of news in the kingdom relies on newspapers to spread.
Now the news that their King took the initiative to sue for peace was printed in the newspapers.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it.
They can see the conditions listed in the newspaper.
In other words, the entire kingdom is under the jurisdiction of the Holy See of Light.
A cathedral must be built in every place, managed by specialized priests from the Holy See of Light, and have all local powers, including conscription rights, property rights, and even life and death.
They can also deprive a marquis of his title at will.
Such power simply exceeds that of His Majesty the King.
Moreover, their demands were so harsh and excessive that they almost sold the entire kingdom to them.
It makes people heartbroken to see all kinds of peace talks that undermine power and humiliate the country.
At this moment, Luo Sheng was in the manor, holding a newspaper in his hand and looking at the situation in the kingdom.
He couldn't help but frown.
Aikeli just walked out of the kitchen. Seeing his expression, she subconsciously asked: "What happened?"
"His Majesty the King took the initiative to seek peace with the Holy See of Light."
"Um?"
Aikeli, who was busy with something, suddenly stopped.
There was an expression of disbelief on his face, "We have won this border war, how dare he ask for peace with the Holy See of Light? Isn't he afraid that his reputation will fall?"
"But he did, even at the risk of betraying the sovereignty of the entire kingdom. This was full of harsh conditions from the Holy See of Light."
Luo Sheng opened the newspaper and showed it to her.
Aikeli couldn't help but take a breath of air when she saw the peace conditions above.
It feels like the temperature in the whole room has dropped.
She couldn't believe it.
After all, the border war was defeated under her leadership.
The victory that he had finally achieved was betrayed by the aloof His Majesty the King in the next moment.
This caught her off guard.
When Luo Sheng saw Aikeli standing there stunned, he said: "Perhaps, His Majesty the King will not agree to such harsh conditions. After all, no normal person will agree to this matter."
Just when they were chatting.
Suddenly a soldier walked in and said to them very respectfully: "Ms. Aikeli, Mr. Luo Sheng, the palace is ready to start the knighthood ceremony for Ms. Aikeli."
Luo Sheng and Aikeli looked at each other.
Feeling a little surprised.
The kingdom had previously granted Aikoli a title.
It's just an ordinary prestigious title, that is, it has no territory.
Now that I have been conferred a new title, it is indeed a bit unexpected.
