In the Kislev City neighborhood, when the expropriation team arrived at the scene, many civilians had already gathered here. The civilians who were about to lose their houses gathered together and shouted at the expropriation team.
Some people yelled at the guards, while some civilians cursed loudly. Since Pavel announced the reconstruction of Kislev, similar incidents have continued to occur.
The original intention of the king's order was for the good of the people, to rebuild the city and give the people better living conditions. However, matters large and small cannot be handled by the king himself, but can only be left to ministers, dukes, and nobles.
When orders are passed down from level to level, there will always be people who take advantage of policy loopholes to benefit themselves. The nobles who came to power through Pavel's uprising in the past did not receive tangible benefits after the Tsar ascended the throne, so they went everywhere
Make profits for yourself to earn back the "losses" caused by supporting Pavel in those years.
Taking advantage of the tsar's orders to demolish civilian homes was one of them.
"Calm down, let me tell you one last time. It is Tsar Pavel's order to collect your residences and build a grand theater. The compensation has been sent to each of you. Don't you know how to be satisfied? Do you want to disobey?
An order from the king?"
Baron Fars, who came with his troops to ask for the house, read loudly and shouted to the people. However, the people's faces did not improve much because of the baron's sophistry. On the contrary, under the threat, those who were about to lose
The common people who were their only property became even more agitated.
"Compensation? Damn you! That little money is not enough for us to buy bread for half a month! What should we do after half a month? Sleep on the street?"
The angry people loudly criticized the forced conquest team and the aloof Baron Fars.
"Okay, I've heard enough of your endless protests. This is the king's order. If you have any dissatisfaction or requests, please go to His Majesty Pavel. Now, please get out of the way. This house has been acquired."
Ignoring the excitement of the people, Fars remained calm and asked these refugees to get out of the way. Yes, they should be called refugees. Apart from a house, they had no money.
"Don't you dare touch my house!"
"Is the king going to kick us out of our homes and put us on the streets?"
"Oh, no...it will be freezing in this weather!"
The people became more and more agitated, and some people began to push the guards who came to expropriate the houses.
However, Fals just said lightly——
"Let them go."
This sentence made the scene completely out of control. The angry people picked up stones, sticks, and anything that could be used as weapons, and threw them at the guards. The guards under the baron were not as fully equipped as the guards around the king.
Armed, most of them only wore leather armor and simple helmets. Several guards were surrounded by angry civilians, and they were bleeding profusely on the spot.
"Drive them away! Damn it, drive them away!"
Fars sat on the carriage and cursed loudly. The guards began to carry out the master's orders.
Suddenly, an excited man rushed up from the side and rushed towards the baron's carriage. The guard panicked and pulled out his long sword. This sword just hit the man's chest. In an instant, the tip of the sword penetrated the man's chest.
, stabbed into the chest, and with the screams, the people's emotions were completely out of control.
The angry civilians began to beat the guards to death. More and more civilians joined in, almost surrounding the Baron's carriage... "Retreat! Protect me..." Fars could only hurriedly order the guards to retreat.
…
"They attacked Fars and wounded him. This is contempt for the royal power!"
At the Bandaga Palace, the incident of civilians attacking Fars reached the ears of King Pavel. The ministers talked a lot, and Fergus even asked the new emperor Pavel to severely punish the troubled people. Faced with the chaotic situation, Pavel
He just felt dizzy. He didn't even understand what was going on. It was obviously a good thing, but in the hands of these nobles, it completely changed. He was angry and wanted to establish prestige among the common people, but
, but in the end they were screwed by these nobles. But Pavel also knew that he could not attack them directly, otherwise, if the entire Kislev nobles united, his throne would not be guaranteed.
Faced with the dilemma, he could only suppress his anger for the time being.
"Your Majesty, you must arrest the rioters and whip them in the Ice and Snow Square. Otherwise, this kind of thing will happen again in the future!"
Fergus continued, saying it was advice, but it seemed like coercion, making it difficult for Pavel to step down.
"Your Majesty, please make a decision immediately! These mobs must be taught a lesson! Give Baron Fars justice."
"His Majesty……"
"enough!"
All kinds of disturbing sounds sounded in the hall at the same time, and Pavel finally couldn't bear it anymore. He patted the armrest of the throne hard, making a clear and loud sound.
"Are you the king or am I the king?!"
Pavel's sharp voice echoed in the hall, and everyone suddenly fell silent.
"Give me an explanation... Hmm, how do I give an explanation? Arrest those homeless civilians and flog them? Do you want to see more civilians rise up in riots? In recent years, Kislev has still lacked
Riot?"
Pavel's angry rebuke was so hysterical that everyone present dared not say a word. They knew the "mercy" of the new king. However, managing a kingdom cannot rely solely on kindness and kindness...
"The budget for the construction of the Grand Theater includes resettlement fees for the demolished people. Can anyone tell me why it is not enough for the people to buy bread and rations for half a month?"
Pavel's anger burned the officials of Kislev. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at the king.
…
In the Tsar's palace, when Pavel returned to the room with a sullen look on his face and told Queen Denis what happened in the palace today, Denis's expression was so calm. She already knew, or had already guessed something about Pavel.
His character, and the current situation in Kislev, are destined to have something like this happen...
"Have you not seen their ugly faces, beasts in human skin, eating people without spitting out their bones? I want to investigate this matter thoroughly! I must investigate this matter clearly!"
Pavel, still angry, sat on the bedside with a look of anger on his face.
In stark contrast, is the calm and ordinary queen.
"No, you can't find out clearly. If we really want to conduct a thorough investigation, there will be problems with officials of all sizes in Kislev. Are you going to put all the officials in the dungeon?"
Standing behind Pavel, Dennis said coldly. These words could not help but make the young king feel his scalp numb. His heart was like a sharp knife stabbing him, and it was extremely painful. The reality is so dark and cruel, he thought
I want to take good care of this country, but unfortunately everyone is like a selfish and greedy devil, eager to strip others and fill themselves.
"My husband, the new king of Kislev, you must know that there are no absolutely good people and no absolutely bad people in this world. When I was a little girl, I saw many such dark things.
The former Kislev Magic Academy was full of all kinds of shady activities. If we really want to take my sisters seriously, every one of them had done something for the Snow Queen. Do I want to work with them too?
Is this an old score?"
Denis rubbed Pavel's shoulders and persuaded the young new king of Kislev step by step. He must grow up if he wants to truly stabilize the country, if he wants to turn Kislev from a war-torn country.
