At this moment, a man sitting on the throne heard the news from the front.
There was no expression of joy on his face.
Instead, it is a gloomy and depressing feeling.
The messenger who delivered the good news was confused.
I asked weakly, "Your Majesty, what are you worried about?"
The king sitting on the throne sighed helplessly, "The Kingdom of Ankara no longer exists. Now we have to face the Holy See of Light, even though we have repelled their invasion.
But things in the future will not be so simple. Many marquises in our kingdom have been instigated to rebel and have secretly defected to the Holy See of Light."
His Majesty the King spoke with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
It sounds like the end of the world.
His somewhat aged hands rested on the armrests of the throne, supporting his somewhat heavy head.
The sadness on his face was like the sludge in a sewer that couldn't be dissipated.
Even the areas around his eyes were covered with dark circles and deep red bloodshot, which was enough to show how worried he was about this matter.
At this time, a young minister of the royal palace could not help but say: “Your Majesty, even if the Kingdom of Ankara no longer exists, their royal family has been usurped by the Holy See of Light.
But we still won the battle at the border, and even captured their deputy leader. So the Holy See of Light is not as powerful as we imagined. Why is Your Majesty worried?"
Every word he said was true.
According to the current status.
Since the war broke out on the border, many lords within the king's ranks have been instigated to rebel and secretly join the Holy See of Light.
But after the victory in this war against invasion, everyone probably re-evaluated the strength of the kingdom.
No longer arbitrarily surrender to enemy forces.
Either way, it's a good thing.
But why is His Majesty the King so sad?
After the young minister finished speaking, the entire palace fell silent again.
His Majesty the King was silent for about seven or eight seconds.
He said in a heavy voice: "You don't understand them. Even if we win at the border, it is only our victory. Other countries bordering the Kingdom of Ankara have all been defeated without exception.
Some have even been invaded to the border of the capital, and the situation is critical.
Especially since the Holy See of Light used some unknown evil magic that allowed ordinary soldiers to directly burst out with the strength of warriors, and they became crazy and bloodthirsty.
Now, many kingdoms are asking for our help.
The world is changing...
The Holy See of Light has used its own strength to absorb the power of the entire kingdom, and now that it has been unleashed, no one can resist it. "
His Majesty the King spoke deeply for a long time.
His whole body showed signs of decadence.
No one knew the torture suffered by the royal family of the Kingdom of Ankara.
The Holy See of Light not only usurped their thrones, but also deposed them from the altar.
All members of the royal family were sent directly to the guillotine, and the other survivors are now suffering in the dungeon. The end of all members of the royal family was extremely miserable.
He received a secret envelope from the Holy See of Light.
There was blood of royal family members in it.
The envelope also warned him that if he did not become a member of the Holy See of Light, he would be the next royal family member sent to the guillotine.
And slaughtered all his friends, children, and blood relatives.
Let the entire kingdom disappear in the long river of history.
His Majesty the King was initially very disgusted, but when he saw the contents of the envelope, he became more and more frightened.
We also saw a letter asking for help from His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Ankara.
That was done by the Holy See of Light specifically to disgust him.
At this moment, Tripoli was cheering.
It was in stark contrast to the situation inside the palace.
They all celebrated the victory in the border war. The Holy See of Light was successfully repelled by them. Perhaps there will be several years of peace in the future without having to worry anymore.
There were also many people who boasted about the strength of their kingdom’s army.
What they didn't know was.
His Majesty the King of our country actually took the initiative to seek peace with the Holy See of Light.
Everyone was originally in high spirits after the victory in the border war, but the sudden news caught everyone off guard.
No one reacted.
He even showed an expression of disbelief.
Soon, people started talking about it.
"What on earth is going on? Why is our King negotiating with the Church?"
"I don't know."
"Didn't we win the border war?"
"That is true, but His Majesty actually took the initiative to seek peace, and the conditions are very harsh."
Many civilians held newspapers in their hands.
The prototype of newspapers has already appeared in this world.
Therefore, a lot of news in the kingdom is spread through newspapers.
Now the news that their King had taken the initiative to seek peace was printed in the newspapers.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it.
They can see the conditions listed in the newspaper.
That is to say, the entire kingdom is under the jurisdiction of the Holy See of Light.
A cathedral must be built in every place, which will be managed by special priests sent by the Holy See of Light and will have all local power, including the right to conscript soldiers, property rights, and even life and death.
They could also deprive a marquis of his title at will.
Such power simply exceeds that of His Majesty the King.
Moreover, their demands were extremely harsh and excessive, it was like selling the entire kingdom to them.
All the peace talks that are humiliating and detrimental to the country are heartbreaking to watch.
At this moment, Luo Sheng was in the manor, holding a newspaper in his hand, looking at the situation in the kingdom.
I couldn't help but frown.
Ai Keli had just walked out of the kitchen. Seeing his expression, she subconsciously asked, "What happened?"
"His Majesty the King has taken the initiative to seek peace with the Holy See of Light."
"Um?"
Ai Keli, who was originally busy with something, suddenly stopped.
An expression of disbelief appeared on his face. "We have won the border war. How dare he seek peace with the Holy See of Light? Isn't he afraid of his reputation falling?"
"But he did it, even at the cost of selling out the sovereignty of the entire kingdom. This was full of harsh conditions from the Holy See of Light."
Luo Sheng opened the newspaper and showed it to her.
When Ai Keli saw the above sum conditions, she couldn't help but take a breath.
It felt like the temperature in the whole room had dropped.
Her face was full of disbelief.
After all, the border war was won under her leadership.
Now, the victory that he had finally achieved was betrayed by the almighty King in the next moment.
This caught her off guard.
Seeing Ai Keli standing there in a daze, Luo Sheng said, "Perhaps, His Majesty the King will not agree to such harsh conditions. After all, no normal person would agree to this."
While they were chatting.
Suddenly, a soldier came in and said to them very respectfully, "Ms. Ai Keli, Mr. Luo Sheng, the court is preparing to begin the ceremony of conferring the title of Miss Ai Keli."
Luo Sheng and Aikeli looked at each other.
Feeling a little surprised.
The kingdom had previously granted Aikoli a title.
It's just an ordinary prestigious title, which means it has no territory.
It is indeed a bit unexpected that he has been conferred a new title.
