Amy's face was covered with dust, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely tired, but he didn't seem to cry at all along the way.
But now, hearing what Li Ang said, Amy gradually lowered her head, and a tear fell from her eyes to the ground. "I just want to be a knight, a knight like female Count Valera."
She has indeed become a strong knight.
"Amy, originally I blocked Lion City and asked Risadiran to call you back, just so that you could personally avenge Aunt Philina."
Li Ang said softly, this was indeed his original intention.
When he first saw Madam Philina fall from the building, Li Ang asked the guards to block Lion City out of revenge - both the prophet and the king were the enemies who killed Philina, and he did not want to let anyone go.
Let Risadiran bring Philina to Godric mainly to prevent Three Prophets from desecrating Philina's body.
However, he didn't expect Three Prophets to disappear mysteriously.
"But now... the prophet is missing and the king is dead, but they are not the only enemies we have - Lion Knight Order massacred Crow's Perch Village, your brother Andrew The whereabouts are unknown, the framed heretics are still raging, and the conspirators who are with the heretics are still living freely. Until you kill them, you can't just be Princess Knight, Amy."
Li Ang reached out and wiped away the tears on Amy's face. "You can only sit on Silver Throne, otherwise, our enemies will sit on it."
What he was talking about was 'our' enemy.
"... But Ulrich has a daughter, so little Princess should become Queen..."
Amy was silent for a while, then looked up at Li Ang: "She should be at Balanli."
"But she is not the king's daughter..."
Li Ang slowly shook his head. "Moreover, she has been controlled by Duke Brennus. If nothing else, Brennus and his son Malbert are in the same group as the heretics."
Amy was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes weakly and sighed resignedly.
"How is your father?"
Li Ang also sighed and asked about Godric.
"My father vowed to avenge his mother. What he said was almost the same as what you said - he wanted to find Andrew, destroy the heresy of Crow's Perch Village, and kill Lion Knight Order... so he wanted to stay in Crow's Perch Village to delay the enemy. He didn't want those guys to escape."
Amy replied, "He asked me to come Lion City and let me follow your arrangements."
This is inevitable. After seeing the body of Philina, Godric will definitely do this - since Li Ang will solve Lion City's troubles, then the enemies of Vulpine Town and Crow's Perch Village will naturally be solved by Godric.
Godric knows that since Li Ang will call Amy to Lion City, it means that Li Ang is sure to control Lion City, and Amy's safety is guaranteed.
Then, Godric can kill people without any worries.
"Then... we must give him enough support as quickly as possible, Amy, take a rest, we have to go to the throne room tomorrow morning."
Li Ang nodded - let Amy supervise the country, and then quickly declare Lion Knight Order an illegal knighthood, then all problems will be solved.
Godric is not short of troops now. Although his Red Arrow Longbowmen is not strong, its formation cost is very low. It currently has a scale of seven to eight hundred people. Plus Kloze brings Silver Hand to help in the battle, and Sir Roland will also rush from Dark Falcon Fortress to Vulpine Town to deal with the heretics. It is estimated that they will be there soon.
As long as Godric has no constraints and relieves his worries, it is the best support.
"Li Ang, you once said that you wanted to unify Pande Continent and that you wanted to gain greater power for the sake of security... So, do you want to become the king of the Lionheart Kingdom?"
Amy suddenly asked.
"Don't want to."
Li Ang shook his head gently.
Amy raised his head and looked at Li Ang in surprise. "Don't want to?"
Li Ang's expression was very serious. He looked at the tired Amy, took Amy into his arms, and patted her thin back. "Yes, I don't want to. If possible, I would rather I hope Aunt Philina is alive... However, we must protect ourselves and those who care about us. Therefore, Lionheart Kingdom's Silver Throne cannot fall into the hands of outsiders."
"But I don't want to either..."
Amy put his head on Li Ang's shoulder, hugged Li Ang, closed his eyes and took a rest.
Li Ang hugged her and sat on the steps of Noble Council, letting her lean on his shoulder.
"Let's go..."
A few minutes later, Amy raised his head again, reached out to wipe away the tears on his face, and stood up. "Tell me what to do."
At this moment, she has become the determined Princess Knight again.
The next day, early morning.
Throne Room.
The coffin of King Ulrich is parked in front of Silver Throne.
Amy, wearing a white cloak, stood in front of the coffin and presided over the farewell ceremony of Ulrich.
This is the place where only the king's heirs are qualified to stand.
At this moment, among Lion City, only Amy has such qualifications.
Just yesterday, the same afternoon that Amy arrived at Lion City, Li Ang ordered to summon all the nobles in Lion City and asked them to go to the throne room to say goodbye to the king's body this morning.
Normally, after the death of a king, the body will be kept for at least half a month, in order to wait for the arrival of lords from various places, and also to determine the king's successor during this period.
After determining the heir, the lords will swear allegiance to the next generation king in front of late king's body before holding a funeral.
When the king dies and there is no designated heir, the next king will usually be selected by the great nobles. Of course, in most cases it will be determined according to the order of succession - anyway, no matter who is chosen, the power will fall into the hands of the most powerful lord.
Unless a certain heir is strong and strong, no one would dare to mess with him.
But Li Ang does not intend to give the nobles a chance to choose.
He told the nobles in Lion City very straightforwardly that now Amy is the only heir.
Moreover, he asked the cavalry troops brought back by Amy to surround the palace.
Griffin Claws's female soldiers even entered the throne room, directly replacing the guards in the palace.
At the same time, Noldo Guard of Li Ang is still clinging to the only passable main city gate. Unless Li Ang agrees, no one can leave Lion City, and no one else can even spread the news of the king's death.
Li Ang himself entered the throne room armed with a sword and armor.
This morning, all the nobles in Lion City can realize that Amy is now the heir who has a strong army and a strong horse that no one dares to mess with. If the fist is not as big as Li Ang and Amy combined, then it is best not to say anything...
But doubts still exist, and must exist.
"Lord Li Ang, I don't doubt the truth of what you said, but I want to know why the city gate is still blocked?"
The person who raised the question was a middle-aged nobleman wearing a bachelor's uniform - he was the grand bachelor who succeeded Igor after his death, and he was also the person who should be the most skeptical, because he was responsible for recording the history of the kingdom.
Li Ang nodded to him kindly. "I can let people from Lion Knight Order tell you about this..."
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
Several Lion Knight were shackled and escorted into the throne room by a group of female soldiers.
"They are the knights of Lion Knight Order, the left-behind personnel of Lion City station."
Li Ang held his sword and looked at the Lion Knights coldly. "At the same time, he is also the traitor Malbert's internal agent planted in Lion City, and he is also an accomplice who conspired with Brennus to commit treason!"
"You're lying! This is a frame-up!"
One Lion Knight yelled angrily.
"Gag their mouths and bring Cersi up..."
Li Ang ignored him at all and directed the female soldiers to lead Noble Council, the fat cook who was responsible for silence, to the throne room.
"Cersi, under the watchful eyes of Goddess Eunomia and late king, tell me everything you have done. This is His Majesty the King's funeral. His Highness Amy will not kill anyone at this time. Tell the truth and you can live."
Li Ang gives the cook a real way to survive.
Cersi nodded and knelt in the center of the hall. "I was arranged by Duke Brennus, in Noble Council..."
The cook confessed in public the various orders given to her by Brennus, including killing the former queen's maid, concealing little Princess's life experience, monitoring the king's actions, etc. It also included the adultery between the queen and Brennus and the whole story of little Princess being picked up by Brennus - especially the adultery part, which was explained in extremely detail.
"Now you understand why I want to block Lion City? Because Lion Knight Order is unreliable! The former Royal Knights has now become a traitor!"
Li Ang sneered and said, "In order to prevent these rebellious dogs like Lion Knight Order from jumping over the wall, I must be careful!"
"Is what this woman said... all true? Princess Denice belongs to Brennus and the queen..."
Some nobles expressed some doubts. Denise is the name of Ulrich's youngest daughter.
But most people have actually believed it - Cersi described the affair between Brennus and the queen in great detail, and many older nobles knew it was not a lie as soon as they heard it.
Moreover, two of the gagged Lion Knights were already ashen-faced.
Cersi just didn't mention Ailian. Everything else he said was true. Combined with some commands in Lion Knight Order, several Lion Knight already knew that there was indeed something wrong with Brennus.
There are always people with poor psychological quality. Those two whose faces changed drastically were, if nothing else, the people who participated in taking little Princess Denise out of the city and sending him to Cliff Bay.
"If you think Cersi's confession is not credible, then you can maintain your doubts - but for those who express doubts, I must first investigate whether you have any relationship with the traitor Brennus to determine your public conscience. I hope you can understand..."
Li Ang said calmly, looking very magnanimous.
Indeed, you can doubt it, but you must at least make sure that you have nothing to do with rebellion and that you are doubting it out of public motives.
However, who dares to ask Li Ang to 'investigate' at this time?
As a result, there was no longer a voice of doubt in the entire throne room. All the nobles said with one voice that Lion Knight Order was a traitor and must be recognized as an illegal knighthood and the army be sent to destroy it!
"After ensuring the safety of Lion City, I will be responsible for hunting down Lion Knight Order... In fact, my troops are hunting down Lion Knight Order right now. Grand Bachelor, do you still have any questions?"
Of course there will be no problem. The bachelor was already 'persuaded' by Li Ang the night before. Today he is just cooperating with Li Ang.
Li Ang selflessly stated that he would be responsible for clearing out rebellion, which indeed gave the nobles more trust.
After all, even if he accepts such a fatal job, what Marshal Li Ang said should indeed be the truth, or it must be - he is confident of destroying even Lion Knight Order, so who dares to go against him at this time?
In fact, even if Li Ang wants to call a deer a horse, these nobles have to admit it.
However, Li Ang and Amy still used a relatively mild method, and indeed no one was killed.
Therefore, under the watchful eyes of Goddess Eunomia and late king, Amy was unanimously voted by the nobles to supervise the country Princess.
--Little Princess is regarded as the rebellious daughter of Brennus. Andrew disappeared. Now except Amy, there is no other heir to the throne. It must be unanimous.
Of course, Amy at this time is not Queen, and is only temporarily in charge of the country.
During these fifteen days, she could only stand in front of Silver Throne and could not sit down.
After half a month, when the lords from all over the country arrived after receiving the news of the king's death, the great lords would crown her together.
It's just...
The lords who can receive the message first are the ones Li Ang is willing to let them receive the message.
For example, Misty Marsh Fortress Lord Baron Heriwold, Brave Shield Fortress Lord Baron Leofric, Payne Lord Granlon, Fletcher Lord Charles...
Anyway, we are all our own people.
Moreover, Lion Knight Order has been classified as a rebel, and Brennus has become the leader of the rebels. After half a month, Li Ang and Amy will no longer talk politely to others.
Because Amy's first order after supervising the country was to declare war with Fieltzwe!
This must be done, because Ulrich died at the hands of Fieltzwe people. This kind of national hatred must be declared war, and it can easily inspire the determination of the same hatred in the country.
Li Ang, on the other hand, is in full charge of all military affairs of the Lionheart Kingdom because of the upcoming war.
It was Amy who held the funeral for the late king Ulrich, and it was Amy who launched the revenge war for Ulrich. The marshal Li Ang also clearly supported Amy.
It is already difficult to shake such an heir.
At the same time, when they are about to face the revenge battle with Fieltzwe, as long as they are public-minded nobles, no one will mention the establishment of a new king.
Because this kind of war to avenge late king is different from ordinary conquest. Interfering with the war at this time is clearly an enemy of the entire Lion Territory.
Only selfish and stupid people would cause trouble at this time, and there is a high probability that they are Brennus people.
This is the main reason why Li Ang let Inna go.
In order to simplify complex things, and to kidnap all neutral nobles, and even kidnap smart enemies.
Letting the murderer of Ulrich escape alive to Fieltzwe is not only a reason to launch a national war, but also makes it easy to identify those with ulterior motives.
It is rare for a fool to act recklessly at such a time. During the war, Li Ang can completely use military law to handle matters - that is, he can kill directly without trial.
At the same time, Amy promised that whoever can avenge the king in the war against Fieltzwe will become Duke of Lion Lake City.
As for Brennus, Amy also made it clear that whoever can kill the traitor Brennus and regain Cliff Bay will become the Duke of Cliff Bay.
The goals, future, and opportunities for advancement are all clearly placed in front of the nobles of the Lionheart Kingdom.
