Holy Empire Athens.
As the two traitors were brought back to Athens, they were paraded through the streets. After all, for ordinary people in the city, their lives were threatened.
How much they couldn't accept the prince's betrayal? After all, they all wanted to survive!
In the end, Prince Zhu Ai De and Knight Commander Marcoa were brought to Her Majesty the Queen.
In the castle hall, Queen Juliana looked at the two of them coldly.
“You are a prince, you are my brother, but you want to kill me and take my throne. Why do you want to do this?
Isn't it good to be a prince peacefully? You should know how happy you are as a prince."
"You don't have to do anything, just enjoy your daily life. Do you know what it's like to be a king?"
"Am I not good enough for you? You want to betray me, you want to remove me from the throne yourself, you want to kill me."
Zhu Lina was very confused. Looking at Prince Zhu Aide, she was puzzled. Could it be that he wanted to pull her down just because of her identity as a woman?
However, there are many queens in their Holy Empire.
Why didn't this happen at that time?
"We are all descendants of the previous king. How can you be king? If a woman like you can be king, why can't I be king?"
"I wanted to be king, to become king. I just didn't expect to fail. But I won't accept it. If there hadn't been a messenger from the gods, you would never have escaped this disaster."
"I can also become king easily. It's my bad luck, and you are very lucky."
Queen Julia looked at him helplessly, feeling even more worried. Her brother still hadn't woken up and was still full of hostility towards her.
Since things have come to this, he has no choice but to nod helplessly and say, "Okay, I understand."
"Someone come and hold him down. From now on, lock him up in the mansion and don't let him leave. If he leaves, he will be beheaded on the spot!"
This was the queen's last mercy. After all, no matter how good the child's parents were, there had to be some leeway. Imprisoning him and confining him in the mansion was already a good thing.
But if his brother had any other ideas and wanted to covet his throne, then his life would be in danger.
After Zhu Aide was dragged away, Queen Juliana looked coldly at Knight Commander Marcoa and questioned him, "Tell me, what's going on!"
"Am I not good enough to you? As the Knight Commander, when have I ever doubted you? I have always tried my best to treat you as my ally. I will give you whatever you want."
"Why did you betray me? Why did you follow the prince?"
Marcoa looked at the queen's face, feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart, and he explained helplessly.
"Your Majesty, I know you've been very kind to me. As the Knight Commander, you've never doubted me, nor have you ever thought of taking away my rights."
"But I just don't accept it. It's true that I want to challenge the messenger of the gods. In my heart, I have always had other ideas about you."
"I am the Knight Commander and Grand General of our Holy Empire, and you are the Queen. We are a perfect match. If you become my wife, I will be your man, and from now on, the two of us will be invincible."
"It's just that I never told you these things, but kept them hidden in my heart. But I didn't expect... this matter would eventually come true."
"Why are you so close to the Messenger of Heaven? Why are you with the Messenger of Heaven? There's a huge difference between you two!"
"Don't you know that the messenger of the gods will leave our Holy Empire one day, and then you will be left alone."
"Is this okay? I know you're doing this for power, but you shouldn't do this!"
Queen Juliana was very shocked after hearing his words. She never expected that the Knight Commander would think so in his heart, and she never expected that the Knight Commander would have such special feelings for her.
To be honest, Juliana definitely had no thoughts about the Knight Commander, and in her mind, the relationship between her and the Knight Commander was just that of a monarch and his subject.
But what happened now shocked her greatly.
Helplessly, Zhu Lina shook her head and explained: "I think you are wrong about this matter."
"My being with the envoy was indeed a bit unexpected. At first, I did want to use him to gain power, but so what? Wasn't it also sincere later on?"
"Marcoya, I have no idea what you're talking about. If you really have feelings for me, you should have said it in advance instead of keeping it to yourself."
Makoya heard this, but he was desperate and felt insulted.
Damn it! Why does Her Majesty look down on me so much?
"Your Majesty, am I really not as good-looking as the Messenger of Heaven? Or is the Messenger of Heaven very important to you?"
Upon hearing this, Queen Juliana helplessly explained, "Yes, it is very important. It is especially important in my mind..."
After hearing this explanation, Marcoa was completely desperate...but he never expected that the queen thought of him so unimportant. It seemed that everything was just his own wishful thinking.
At this point, he had nothing more to say. He had indeed betrayed the Queen, and he would not receive any recognition from the Queen.
"Who have I betrayed? The Empire, and even more so, you. So, whatever you want to do, just do whatever you want. I don't have much to say about this matter. I understand what you mean."
Juliana sighed. In fact, the Knight Commander was also very important to their Holy Empire. Although what the Knight Commander did was excessive, but... if the Knight Commander was killed.
Would the knights under his command choose to surrender? They might even initiate a lawsuit, so he had to think carefully about it...
"Marcoa, as the Knight Commander and leader of the Knight Corps, I can spare your life."
"But from now on, you must stay in your own mansion like the prince, acting as an idle knight commander. You are not allowed to step out of the mansion again, or I will kill you."
Marcoa was also very surprised by this decision. He thought the queen would kill him directly, but he didn't expect her to choose to show mercy.
"Why would you let me go?"
"For the peace of the empire, I have said that the Knights will not have any other ideas."
