Chapter 51 Her Majesty

Through the narrow high windows of the terrace, the afterglow of the setting sun spreads all over the ground, reflecting dark red stripes on the walls.

There are very few places in the entire kingdom where you can still see the sunset, and Port Clearwater is one of them. According to legend, the Demon Moon, which was shrouded in heavy snow and cold wind, had little impact on this place. Except that the Black Sail Fleet could not leave the port, the whole city was still as busy as usual.

And the owner of this harbor capital, Garcia Wimbledon, was sitting at the square table under the window, seriously looking at the letter in his hand. Her gray hair was dyed a touch of gold in the setting sun, and the interlaced light and shadow of her face brought out her sharp facial features, which was unique and heroic.

Farion had been by her side for a while.

Although the letter took longer than her normal time to read the letter, Farien still chose to wait quietly—he didn't want to interrupt the tranquility by himself.

In the end, Garcia sighed softly and put down the letter.

"Father is dead."

Farien was startled, "What?"

"My father, Ayrin Wimbledon, King of Graycastle, is dead."

She seldom repeats what she has said, he thought, if he usually asks this question, she will just ignore it. But is she really not joking? The king is dead?

"..." Faruien opened his mouth, trying to comfort her, but what he said turned into a question, "How did you die?"

Fortunately, Garcia doesn't care about this—she is the third princess of the kingdom, the lord of Clearwater Port, and the supreme commander of the Black Sail Fleet, and she doesn't need anyone to comfort her. He was captured by Wei. He did not commit suicide in fear of crime, so he was tried by the king's hand and several other ministers, and he was sentenced to be beheaded."

"It's not normal," Farian subconsciously said.

"Of course it's not normal," Garcia said blankly. "Although my brother is relatively stupid, he is not so stupid as to commit suicide. Without guidance, he can't do such a thing."

"Someone framed him?"

"Let me guess..." The third princess closed her eyes, "Probably someone has laid out a detailed plan and tempted him to say that he is willing to help him to the throne - if you want to bring people into the inner courtyard of the king's city, someone must make prior arrangements, including eradicating , exchange and bribe. But that is not what Gron is good at, or he is too lazy to do these trivial things. The rest is simple, the person who arranged the plan was deeply trusted by him, but betrayed him in the end. "

Faruen is noncommittal, these are guesses after all, the process is not important, the key is the result. He believed that His Highness the Third Princess thought so too.

Sure enough, Garcia opened her eyes and continued, "There are nine such people among the eldest prince. They have brute force and muscles in their brains. It's normal to be played around. It's just..." There was a little anger in her tone when she said this, "My second brother's methods are too rough."

"You mean, Timothy Wimbledon did it?"

"Besides him, who else knows Goron so well? After this incident, who will benefit the most?" Garcia tapped her fingers unconsciously on the table, "A blind man can see it! But just because of his father's preference for him , he doesn’t have to do this step at all!”

His Highness was angry, and Faruen realized that it was rare for the third princess to show such an expression. It seems that although she has always complained that Wimbledon III is too eccentric, she does not want her father to end up like this after all.

Faruen can more or less understand this feeling. In a big family, the patriarch always feels like this to the younger generation - a mountain that wants to be surpassed, both in awe and hatred. If she was right and the second prince really did this, then his actions could indeed be called brutal.

"But...why did he do that?"

"Because he's afraid of me," Garcia took a deep breath, as if controlling his emotions, "he's afraid of Black Sail."

Seeing that Faruien didn't answer, she went on to explain, "It's not surprising that Timothy has an eyeliner in Bishui Port, just like I also set up eyes and ears in Jinsui City and Wangdu. Knowing the existence of the Black Sail Fleet Finally, it is easy to think about what I will do next. It is impossible for Jinsui City to raise an army that can fight against Black Sail. So he used the most stupid method, using Gron as bait to get what he wanted .”

"You mean, he wants the army?"

"He wants the throne," Garcia said. "After Gron's death, he will be the heir in line. In addition to his father's death, he is probably on his way to the king's capital at this moment. As long as he can become Wimbledon IV , he can mobilize vassals and troops without territorial restrictions." She shook her head at this point, "However, as I said, as father's favorite son, he doesn't have to be like this."

"Wouldn't that be bad," Faruien said worriedly, "What if the second prince is successfully crowned, the fight for king is declared over, and you are ordered to return to the royal city?"

Garcia disdainfully said, "This step is too straightforward. Father's preference for him does not mean that all the ministers will support him, especially the murder of the king-although Timothy pushed it on Goron, it can be done." To fool the common people of the Kingdom, it will probably take a long time for him to fully grasp the authority of Graycastle. So..." She looked at Farien, "I have to change my plan a little bit."

Faruen immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "I am willing to send you."

Garcia stood up, walked to the window, and turned her back to Farien, "He will definitely deal with me as soon as he takes the throne, but the only way he can use is to order Joey Cole, the Duke of the South Put pressure on me. The latter will probably use the new death of the king and the fact that it is not appropriate to use troops during the national mourning period as an excuse to shirk—that old fox has always been unwilling to do business at a loss. At most, he will gather vassals and surround the border of Bishui Port to make a show "The third princess paused for a moment, "But these actions will bring us unnecessary troubles, so we will set sail tomorrow."

"Set sail? Your Highness, do you want to..."

"Since Eagle City is located in the interior of the kingdom, it is almost an undefended city. Qingquan Town can be reached through the tributaries of the Sanwan River, and it only takes one day to get to Eagle City. After Joey is captured, the entire southern border will be destroyed. As for being under my control. This is an interesting time lag. When he sat on the throne and wanted to order Duke Joy, he found that the entire southern region had become my territory. I don’t know what expression he would have."

"But, as you said, Wimbledon III has just passed away, so—"

"Why, do I need to shed tears first?" Garcia turned around, and the setting sun that fell into the horizon covered her whole body with a layer of purple veil. Her face was hidden in darkness, only her eyes sparkled with a subtle light. Those eyes were as firm as a rock, Faruen thought, even if there was anger and regret in it, there would never be sadness.

Sadness is not for a king.

"No, you don't need to," he said seriously.

Garcia nodded in satisfaction, "Go ahead and call all the captains to me. Since Timothy doesn't want to wait until five years later, I won't let him down. After getting Eagle City, the entire southern border will be independent. .”

It didn't matter if Timothy did all of this, he thought, she could always find a way that suited her from the unpredictable situation, and once she made up her mind, she went forward bravely. This is exactly where her charm lies, and it is also the reason why I have followed her here.

"As you order, Your Highness...no," Farinn replied in a deep voice, "Your Majesty the Queen."
