"How long has it been since the Archduke of Muria left?"
"Sir, it's been nearly two years."
"Two years, unknowingly it has been so long." The old man with an old face, but bright eyes and a spirited look showed a look of contemplation on his face, "I have endured it for so long, I can give it a try, it's time for that person
The Queen knows that we are not lambs to be slaughtered, but the cornerstone of the kingdom, and it is almost time to take back our rights."
"Need to inform other nobles?"
"Well, tell them and select a few vassals to test it out. You can't let me do it alone."
"Understood."
...In the sixth year after Queen Remilia ascended the throne, eight nobles jointly submitted a letter requesting the repeal of the new tax law issued by Muria and the restoration of the legislative power of the nobles, on the grounds that these were not good for the country.
Such a request was naturally rejected by Queen Remilia without hesitation. It was impossible for her to abolish any legal provisions established by Muria, but would instead try her best to maintain them all.
Under the orders of the messenger behind them, the eight nobles did not give up. Instead, they contacted more nobles and continued to petition, asking the Queen to restore the rights of the nobles and abolish some laws that hindered the development of the Rockman Kingdom or the nobles.
These eight nobles desperately fought for the interests of the nobles in front of the "cruel" Queen, and gained a lot of support and favor from the nobles, making their petition even more powerful.
But Queen Remilia's tough attitude once again refused without mercy, and as a "little" girl in her early twenties, her patience was exhausted when these nobles tried to commit suicide again, and she directly charged her with treason.
Directly capture the eight nobles and order their execution.
Not only that, the seemingly young queen also ordered that all the noble titles participating in the petition be reduced by one rank, and some of the fiefs were taken back, leaving only territories equal to their titles.
Such a cruel punishment decision caused an uproar among the nobles of the Rockman Kingdom, making many human nobles full of resentment, and everyone was filled with resentment.
Because in this order to reduce their titles, many nobles were directly reduced to civilians and were kicked out of the aristocratic circle. In terms of status, they were no different from those lowly civilians.
Just when the nobles were in an uproar, an exciting news spread from the royal city. On the day when the eight nobles who took the lead in petitioning were about to be executed, an unknown soul-level powerhouse came to rescue them.
The legend of the royal family tried to intercept, but failed to block it.
This news directly shocked the whole country. It was so shocking and contained too many meanings. The person the queen wanted to kill was actually saved, and the legend did not intercept it, which was very exciting.
.
Only legends can deal with legends. It is just a well-known fact that the eight nobles were rescued, which means that a legendary duke was also dissatisfied with the queen's order, so he took action to express resistance.
Such breaking news has made many nobles who are dissatisfied with Queen Remilia and want to regain their power become more motivated and ready to take action. If their lives can be guaranteed, some people dare to do many things.
Therefore, the third noble petition was even more powerful. Driven by many people with ulterior motives, hundreds of nobles once again began to submit petitions to Queen Remilia, requesting the return of the rights that the nobles deserved.
This time, Queen Remilia didn't make any nonsense. She sent the Constructed Knights and the Metal Dragon Nobles whom she had conferred. They arrested people directly in accordance with the petition and killed Zhengfa on the spot. She showed no intention of giving in and her attitude was incomparable.
Tough and decisive.
Remilia, who had received the ideological education of the tyrant Atrice, the golden dragon girl, and the words and deeds of Muria, knew that no matter how arrogant the nobles were, how many forces supported and participated behind them. She could never give in.
Nobles are creatures that push for their own goals. Once they give in even a little bit, they will feel that they can get more and become more greedy and arrogant. Their royal authority will be weakened, causing people to lose their awe, and various concessions will occur.
A situation that Remilia hates.
As a result, a massacre that shocked the Lockman Kingdom occurred. Hundreds of nobles were killed in their castles and manors, and dozens of noble badges were erased, representing the demise of the inheritance of those nobles.
Massacre of hundreds of nobles at one time, such a brutal act reminded the nobles of the fear brought to them by the Golden Dragon Duke during the reign of Muria.
But at that time, the Grand Duke of Muria had ten ancient dragons to suppress everything, and what confidence did the queen have to do such an outrageous thing? The Lockman Kingdom fell into a strange silence for a while, and countless nobles entered a wait-and-see state.
.
However, after observing for several months, the nobles' spies scattered throughout the capital could not find the figure of the fearsome young man with black hair and golden eyes.
"The tyrant didn't show up? Why did that little girl dare to kill so many nobles? Why did she? Just rely on the five legends of the royal family?"
"Aren't five legends enough? Moreover, according to some secret rumors, some of the ten ancient dragons invited by the tyrant did not leave and are still staying in the royal capital of Scarlet. Perhaps this is the confidence of our queen.
Bar!"
"It's just nonsense rumors. We have all seen the images with our own eyes. All ten ancient dragons have left. And even if they have not left, how can that little girl raise ancient dragons? The royal family's treasure house has been emptied by that tyrant."
"That's right, the royal family doesn't have much money now. Haha, that little girl wouldn't be so crazy to launch a massacre because of lack of money!"
"It's really possible. The royal family needs to support a lot of legions, especially the demon hunting group."
"That legion," the faces of the nobles present showed fear, "didn't it mean that it was disbanded after the demonic disaster ended? I also recruited two members of the demon hunting group."
"Hmph, what you recruited is just some discarded trash. The real elite of the demon hunting group. I heard that some of them left with the tyrant and went overseas, and some stayed in the royal capital to form a secret royal family.
Guards."
"Why don't I know the news you got from there?"
"My shadow guards used their lives to find out. Of course you don't know."
"Hiss, this is still really tricky!" Thinking of the terrifying combat prowess of the two guys who claimed to be the elite of the Demon Hunting Group, the fat noble's face turned blue.
While these nobles were still keeping silent, waiting for something, new news came from the royal capital again. Queen Remilia once again issued a new decree - the Order of Grace.
