"Hehe...! Fatty, I also really want to hear the young master scold me, but I don't know where the young master has gone to practice and how long it will take for him to come back. I'm afraid that I, Fatty, won't be able to wait for the young master to come back and will report to the underworld!" Charles' tone changed from joy to disappointment.
"Cough... um..." Anna coughed and brought people back to their senses after being depressed because of Charles.
“Don’t be anxious, everyone. Although eternal life is a very difficult thing, don’t forget that behind us stands the God King who controls death. If everyone is willing, many impossible things can be turned into possible!” Anna’s words were like a stimulant, cheering everyone up.
After arranging everything, the three women got on the Magic Butterfly Car on the morning of the third day and sped straight to the imperial capital.
The carriage slowly descended under Evelyn's control, and after it landed safely, a maid came to lead the three women to the Queen's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, Lady Evelyn and the others are here to see you!" the maid whispered beside the Queen's bed.
"They are here! Come over here quickly! Go and arrange their seats!" The Queen spoke intermittently.
Looking at the three women who came to her bedside, Queen Lydia's originally deathly gray face also regained color.
"You're here! If you hadn't come, you would have only been able to meet me at my funeral!" Lydia said with a smile.
"The fact that the Queen can still joke proves that you are still in good health. I will get you a few bottles of medicine in a few days and you will recover!" Anna smiled, grabbing Lydia's hand.
"You! Stop trying to comfort me. I know my body can survive this long. This is the limit of the potion! If it goes on for any longer, I think some people will hate me!"
"Whether or not we hate you is other people's business. It has nothing to do with us. Looking back, it seems like it was just yesterday when we listened to music together at the United Rose Chamber of Commerce!"
"Yes! You looked like this at the beginning, and now sixty years have passed and you and Marceline still look the same, and I have reached the end of my life!"
"Sometimes I really have some regretful thoughts. If I had contacted him like you did, do you think I would have a chance?" Anna and the others naturally knew who Lydia was talking about!
"Of course! After all, at that time, you had an advantage over us in terms of identity and status. It's a pity that you missed such a good opportunity and we both got it for nothing!" Anna replied with a chuckle.
"Actually, I really want to see him before I leave this world. It's a pity that I don't know where he has gone. It's such a regret in my life!" Lydia was a little unwilling.
"You! You are just too persistent, you know that! You have been obsessed with power all your life, and it's all because of your desire for power.
I don't know where he went yet, but I can tell you that if he knew about your situation today, he would definitely find a way to come and see you. He is a person who values friendship very much!"
"Yes..." It's all because of my excessive desire for power that led to the current situation. Fortunately, he is not here, otherwise he would definitely laugh at me!
"Your Majesty, don't you know why you summoned us here?" The reminiscences of the past ended here, and everyone was smart enough to talk about business.
"I called you here to discuss something with you. You know the current situation of the empire better than I do. I am no longer able to stop anything.
I can't bear to see the empire collapse now, so I want to ask if you, Maple Leaf Territory, can help?" the queen asked cautiously.
"Your Majesty, you told Lin at the beginning that he would not interfere in the succession of the throne. You also understand this point. After all, the conflict between Maple Leaf Territory and the Empire has existed for a long time.
If we still intervene, I think there will inevitably be civil strife in the end. Lin told us that sooner or later there will be a fight between the Empire and the Maple Leaf Territory. It depends on whether we can minimize the losses in the fight. "
"Whether it's Grandpa Green or Lin, they don't want to fall out with the empire. Likewise, the three of us don't want that day to come, so please forgive us, Your Majesty, for not helping either side!" Anna tried to be as tactful as possible.
"Yes, Lin is such a person who never wants to suffer any loss. But I think you may have some misunderstandings. I asked you not because I hope you can help Cameron, but because I hope you can help before the empire collapses."
"I'm not afraid to tell you that Cameron is not as upright as you think. On the contrary, he is even more hypocritical than Edward.
I also discovered this problem through some things. The current problems of the empire are actually caused by him. Whether it is the East-West split or the conflicts between churches, there are shadows of him. "
"I'm telling you all this just in the hope that you won't be deceived by him in the end. Now that he has become the nominal heir to the empire, let's see what he can do. If he plans to destroy the empire with him in the end, I ask you to kill him!"
"This is the letter I prepared long ago. You can see that it is stamped with the seals of the royal family and the Queen. If that day really comes, you can take out the letter and take care of this empire for me!" After the Queen said these words, she seemed to have been drained of all her energy.
The three women felt a little depressed when they left. After all, Queen Lydia had spent her entire life building the empire, and now this old age was probably the most difficult result for her to accept.
"What's in the letter?" asked Avril.
"This is a letter of succession. It means that if Cameron is not an emperor worthy of our help, we can use this letter to deprive him of everything and replace him." This is really a very courageous thing for Lydia.
"I think Charles and the others will definitely like this kind of thing. After all, they have always felt that Maple Leaf Territory should become an empire." Evelyn said with a smile.
On the third day after the three women returned to Maple Leaf Territory, news came that Queen Lydia had passed away.
In fact, everyone was prepared for such news. With the Queen's death, Green, as the only elder in the family, could no longer pretend to be dead.
He took Arnold on the magic disc car to the imperial capital to attend the queen's funeral.
According to the Queen's wishes, her funeral was very simple and only attended by some noble families.
Looking at the queen lying in the coffin blessed by magic, Green felt somewhat sad.
Of course, it was he who personally held the coronation ceremony for the queen, and it was he who personally placed the imperial crown, the symbol of the empire, on Lydia's head. Now, he personally added the first handful of soil for the queen to bury her.
The world is unpredictable, and even someone like Green who is used to seeing life and death can't help but feel sad. Delia's growth is also a witness to the growth of his Star Clan.
"Old Duke, the new emperor is about to ascend the throne. I wonder which one you plan to support?" Irving, the current head of the Griffin family, suddenly asked Green in his ear.
Looking at this guy, Green originally didn't want to pay attention to him, but after all, this guy had not been getting along well with the Maple Leaf Territory in recent years. But now, as the head of the family, he still had to give him face.
"My Maple Leaf Territory still follows the old traditions. We will support whoever is the emperor of the empire. As for other matters, we will not ask about them!"
"Old Duke, it's different from the past when you didn't ask about it. Now you can ask about it. After all, we don't know how long it will take for Lin to come back after he goes out for training. Among our seven dukes, I have always taken Maple Leaf Territory as my weather vane!" Owen said with a smile.
"Little guy, there's no point in you talking to me. If Lin can find Lin, then go and talk to him. If you ask me, my answer will be the same as what I just said!" Looking at this grandson-like guy, Green hated him very much.
This guy is a complete speculator. He used to successfully reach the top by taking advantage of the development momentum of the Maple Leafs. But it was this guy who directly started an internal fight when his grandfather, Old Griffin, passed away.
He bypassed his fathers and directly seized the family power. This was a very uncomfortable thing for Green, who had always preserved traditions.
Ever since this guy seized power, he has changed his previous attitude and has been targeting the Maple Leaf Territory everywhere, attempting to create a second Maple Leaf Territory.
It can be said that many conflicts in Maple Leaf Territory were caused by this person. Fortunately, these problems are not big problems. The only thing that makes people feel a little regretful is that many new figures of the goblin clan were recruited by him.
Although these goblins finally came back, for Maple Leaf Territory, this obvious act of poaching directly led to the breakdown of the cooperation between the two parties.
Without the support of Maple Leaf Territory, Griffin had no choice but to side with the church and turn to support Edward, with whom he had a relationship.
It can be said that this man should bear 70% of the responsibility for the civil strife in the empire, so naturally Green did not have a good face for him.
"Edward hopes that I can tell the old Duke that if you are willing to support him, he is willing to maintain the current situation that everyone is very happy to see." Owen said with a smile.
"Really? I know what kind of person you are playing here. Let me give you a piece of advice: when you are strong enough, you won't have to worry about any conspiracy!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
There is also a bad side to longevity, which is that the people you are familiar with will disappear one by one, and in the end those young guys will come up to you and talk to you.
The death of the Queen ignited the fuse of the struggle for the throne of the Kurma Empire. Both sides officially threw away their disguises and started fighting with real swords and guns.
Cameron, who had the right of succession, officially ascended the throne on the third day after the Queen's death. Originally, it was Green, who was the oldest and had the highest status, who should have crowned him.
