Kadrey was filled with killing intent, and the black eagle longsword in his hand seemed to have turned a dark red colour at the moment.
“What, no more fighting?”
The Sixth Prince looked at a group of ministers as well as generals who were kneeling in the blood and water, and his eyes revealed a cold smile.
“My ministers did not dare, after His Majesty the King ascended to heaven, my ministers were deceived by Avis, thinking that she was His Majesty’s chosen successor, but never thought.”
The Minister of War’s tone was full of sadness as he said with a sniffle and a tear.
“This Avis is faint and incompetent, brutal and unkind, and has plagued our Vientiane Kingdom into the abyss. I now implore Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, to preside over the situation and return peace to our Vientiane Kingdom!”
Arnold as well as Marshall appeared at this moment beside Jiadrei, looking coldly at all the ministers who were kneeling on the ground.
“Do you know who they are?”
Gadre looked at all the ministers and pointed to Arnold as well as Marshall.
The ministers raised their heads and looked at the two men, without the slightest impression in their minds.
The kneeling Minister of War gradually looked down from the heads of the two men, and when he saw the lifelike black eagle above their delicate armour, a horrible thought rose in the Minister of War’s mind.
Rumour had it that above the Commander-in-Chief of the Black Eagle Terrace, there were two others who were above him, who would not appear in the Black Eagle Terrace, but who held great power and were said to be close to the King’s side.
The Minister of War had never seen the Black Eagle Guards, but he had read about them in an ancient book in the Royal Library.
Each of the Black Eagle Guards was trusted by the King, and the Black Eagle armour that they wore armed to the finger was a symbol of their status.
“Could these two …… be the Black Shadow Kin Guards?”
The Minister of War spoke with some trepidation, no other, because the sky, which had just stabilized in the Wanxiang Kingdom, was about to change.
“What?”
“Isn’t the Black Shadow Kin Guards a legend?”
“Legend has it that the Black Eagle Kin Guards will only stay close to the King’s body to protect him ……”
The minister who said this was frozen in his tracks, the appearance of the Black Eagle Kin Guards proved one thing from all sides.
The second princess, Avis, was not the heir chosen by Jiayuan I at all, so where did she get the decree she read in the courtroom that day?
Even the death of Jiayuan I was gradually appearing in the minds of many ministers; after all, Jiayuan I had been fine the day before.
“Gentlemen, I didn’t poison it.”
Lin Mo’s words completely proved that Jiayuan I’s death had nothing to do with himself, and the approximate truth of all the matters also surfaced in the minds of the ministers.
“The Second Princess Avis conspired against the late King and was dim-witted enough to plot against her own siblings with no regard for blood ties, so I and the other fifty-three people have joined together to plead with the Sixth Prince to preside over the situation.”
“You are the person chosen by the late King to succeed him, please ascend to the throne and claim the throne!”
After finishing the last four words, the military government reached without regard for the blood on the ground as well as the dust, and directly bowed heavily to Jiade Lie, with all the ministers behind him following suit.
“You may rise first.”
“We thank Your Majesty for your kindness.”
The chicken-thieving Minister of War immediately changed his address and then took out from his bosom a wooden box that had been securely wrapped.
The military minister winged it in his hands and unwrapped it layer by layer, the fine sunken wooden box being protected at the innermost part.
His fingers trembled slightly as he opened the box.
On top of the red lining, a golden crown inlaid with various precious stones lay silently on the top.
He handed it carefully to Arnold, who was standing next to Gadre.
Arnold took the wooden box from the Minister of War and exchanged a glance with Gadre.
Placing the wooden box in the Marshall’s hand, Arnold solemnly lifted the crown gently with both hands.
Gadre took a slight step backwards, his head lowered slightly to make it easier for Arnold.
Winging the crown firmly on Gadre’s head, Arnold then stepped back, knelt down on one knee with the Marshall and joined all the ministers in shouting.
“Long live my royal age.”
With his crown on his head, Gadrei’s body was stained red with blood, surrounded by a horrific mountain of corpses and broken limbs.
The second emperor of the Wanxiang Kingdom, Jia De Lie, ascended to the throne amidst this mountain of corpses and blood!
