The Original Vampire

"...Therefore, I, Reinhard San Lorenzo, in the name of the Thirty-seventh Emperor of the Radiant Empire, declare Gregory a false believer!

And asks all imperial nobles, knights, and subjects to challenge him in order to maintain the glory of the Supreme Lord! "

In the empty hall, Emperor Reinhardt faced the void and waved his arms impassively.

When the resounding echoes gradually dissipated, Emperor Reinhardt touched the short beard on his chin, as if he was satisfied with his speech just now.

But unfortunately this is just a private rehearsal, and the regret that no one appreciates made Emperor Reinhardt frown.

"Erich!"

Emperor Reinhardt shouted at the empty hall, and then a knight in dark gray armor quietly appeared in the hall, as if it had been there all along.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Knight Erich respectfully saluted Emperor Reinhardt.

"What do you think of my speech just now?"

"Your Majesty, your eloquence is of course unparalleled. I believe that after hearing this speech, the people of the empire will definitely respond to your call one after another!"

Erich Knight's flattery made Emperor Reinhardt elated, he smiled complacently, and asked: "Erich, how much do you think we can make the Church make concessions this time?"

Knight Erich said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to talk about military affairs."

Emperor Reinhardt waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "It's fine! As my personal bodyguard, you can be said to be the person I trust the most. Feel free to say what you think."

Knight Erich lowered his head, and there was a faint flash of white-gold light in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment, as if thinking about what to say, and then said:

"Your Majesty, I really don't understand the military affairs, and I don't know what kind of impact it will have on the church at this time, but I want to remind you that everyone has their own position, and their words cannot escape the shackles of their own position. You need to carefully screen and listen."

Emperor Reinhardt narrowed his eyes immediately, and the smile on his face also converged.

He walked slowly to Knight Erich, and asked in a deep voice, "Erich, when did you learn the tricks of those politicians? Only half of your speech?"

Knight Erich had to raise his head, staring into Emperor Reinhardt's eyes, and said solemnly:

"Your Majesty, I just want to remind you that Queen Midera's surname is Saint Hilde after all, not San Lorenzo."

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Reinhardt roared, and the Erich knight immediately fell to one knee.

Emperor Reinhardt looked at the family knight kneeling in front of him, and the expression on his face was uncertain.

...

Under the bright sunshine in the afternoon, the central square of Yulong City was crowded with crowds.

The situation in the glorious empire since this period of time can be described as turbulent.

The threat of the Orc Empire has not yet been eliminated, and the northern region is in turmoil. The St. Hilde family actually claimed that the Pope had assassinated the Duke of St. Hilde, and sent troops to march into Yulong City to avenge the Duke of the North.

Under the internal and external troubles, the people of the empire were naturally apprehensive. At this time, when they heard the news that Emperor Reinhardt was about to issue a public statement, everyone hurriedly gathered in the city square, anxiously waiting for the royal family's statement.

To be honest, the prestige of Emperor Reinhardt among the people of the empire is not high, because the news about him is mostly lace news rather than great achievements, which makes it difficult for the people of the empire to have trust and respect for this emperor.

However, Reinhardt is after all the emperor of the empire and the leader of the imperial aristocracy. His attitude will directly affect the subsequent political situation of the empire. Even if people don't like him, they must pay attention to the attitude of Emperor Reinhardt.

As the appointed time approached, under the much-anticipated gaze, Emperor Reinhardt never appeared on the high platform.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Queen Midella, who was dressed in full dress, walked up to the stage.

There was an immediate burst of cheers from the crowd.

The graceful, graceful and beautiful Queen Midella is actually much more popular among the people of the Empire than Reinhard the Great.

Just when everyone thought that Empress Midella would introduce Emperor Reinhardt, she said to the magic loudspeaker:

"I'm sorry, the citizens of the Radiance Empire, I know that everyone is eagerly looking forward to His Majesty's speech, but unfortunately, His Majesty is unable to meet you because of a sudden illness."

wow——

The crowd suddenly roared.

After Queen Midella said these words, she immediately turned around and walked off the high platform, and got into the gorgeous carriage, as if she didn't want to face the excited crowd for even one more second.

"Go back to the palace!" The Queen's icy words made the driver's attendant shudder, and hurriedly drove the carriage towards the Phoenix Palace.

After arriving at the Phoenix Palace, before the attendants could set up the step stools, Queen Midella jumped out of the carriage and walked into the palace with a gloomy face. Valley

Along the way, when the maids and guards saw the Queen's appearance, they were immediately silent, they only dared to bow and salute, and did not dare to say greetings.

Bang!

Empress Midella kicked open the door of the emperor's bedroom, and the voices of extravagance in the hall suddenly stopped.

"Get out!"

Looking at the frost-faced queen, the woman picked up a coat and put it on, and even ran out.

Emperor Reinhardt was also a little worried, but he still maintained his apparent calmness, leaning on the head of the bed, and said:

"Remember to knock on the door next time."

Queen Midella's full chest heaved violently a few times before she said coldly:

"Reinhardt, if you don't want to be the emperor anymore, you should step down as soon as possible!"

Such harsh words made Emperor Reinhardt burst out instantly, roaring: "Midella! Do you know what you are talking about!"

Queen Midella was unmoved at all, as if she had seen through the true face of her husband, Se Li Nei Yan, and asked in a condensed voice:

"The agreed public speech, why didn't you show up? Do you know how disappointed the people of the empire are with you!"

Emperor Reinhardt curled his lips in disdain, and said, "It's just a bunch of pariahs, what about disappointment?"

These words made Queen Midella suddenly quiet down, and the anger in her eyes disappeared instantly, but along with it, there was the little thing left called hope.

Emperor Reinhardt seemed to be unaware of this, and was still defending himself:

"The reason why I didn't go is after careful consideration. I don't think the current situation in the Empire can withstand a civil strife.

The church does need to be weakened, but not at this time.

Now our goal is still the Orc Empire, I will now come forward to support the North and declare war on the Church, in case the Orcs come in..."

"Where is the orc army?" Queen Midella asked in an indifferent tone.

"Although they haven't crossed the Tianduan Mountains yet, they will appear in the west sooner or later. At this time, it is too risky to declare war on the church..."

"The greater the risk, the greater the reward. As the emperor of the empire, don't you even have the courage?" Queen Midella interrupted coldly, "If you miss such an excellent opportunity, you will never be able to. There is a better chance of weakening theocracy."

"Who said no?" Emperor Reinhardt shouted in disbelief. "When I lead a million troops to defeat the Orc Empire, the Church will not be able to conquer it easily..."

It's a pity that Queen Midella has no intention of listening to the emperor's rhetoric anymore, so she turned around and walked out.

"...Ah? Midella, where are you going? Midella Saint Hilde, stop for me!"

After going out, Queen Midella took a deep breath and stood on the promenade looking in the direction of the holy mountain in the distance.

The huge pillar of holy light that fell from the sky is clearly visible even in the daytime, like a beacon that never goes out, guiding the direction of the people of the empire.

Two lines of clear tears suddenly flowed down Queen Midella's pretty face, but in the next second, she immediately wiped away the tears, returning to her usual graceful and inviolable appearance.

"Mother."

Prince Harrison, who just passed by, hurriedly saluted and greeted him. He looked at his mother with some doubts, and seemed to think that she had become a little different, but he couldn't tell what was different.

Queen Midella turned around, stroked her son's cheek, and said:

"Go to your sister, pack up and salute."

"Mother, are we going far?"

"Yes."

"Where?"

"Didn't you always want to visit Cousin Vera?"

"We're going to the North?" Prince Harrison exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes." Queen Midella's eyes flashed something that Prince Harrison could not understand, "We will leave early tomorrow."

"Yes, mother!"
