"Go in and remove all the money inside."
Subsequently, countless imperial troops rushed into the imperial treasury and moved out the currencies that had been stored there for a long time.
The administrator looked at what the Forbidden Army had done and could only collapse on the ground helplessly, lamenting the changes in the world.
"His Majesty."
Seeing that Alsace had not left, he finally spoke slowly:
"If that day does come, don't blame me for not reminding you. The impact your actions will have on the empire will be countless."
"If that day comes, I will personally go to your grave to apologize."
Alsace said this and turned to leave.
Before leaving, he ordered the keeper of the imperial treasury to be executed for treason and then seized the family's property.
…
It was late at night and Rosalind organized a meeting.
Even though the city of Saint Laurent has fallen into civil war, there are still many neutral areas where people from both sides can negotiate.
In this meeting, there were many mercenary leaders who had attended Orson's meeting before.
"Queen Rosalind, you should know what drives us together."
A mercenary leader said this and made a gesture asking for money.
The other mercenary leader whistled and looked at Rosalin with a hint of amusement.
"Queen, if you don't want to give money and pay something else, we won't accept it."
Listening to the other party's frivolous words, Rosalin suppressed her inner unhappiness, showed a smile, and then said:
"Of course I know what our situation is now, and I also know what you need most."
Rosalin said this and made a list.
"Oxen and the others must have given you a lot of money, right? The Lissen Chamber of Commerce behind him is really extraordinary. It has amassed so much wealth in such a short period of time."
"But don't forget who the most powerful person in the empire is."
Rosalin handed the list to a mercenary leader present.
"This is the royal family's treasury. There are currently 30 million gold coins. I promise you that if everything is done, half of the money here will be yours alone. Of course, I didn't come to this meeting empty-handed. I brought 100 A deposit of 10,000 gold coins, if you are willing to accept this deposit, then we have established cooperation. "
A mercenary leader frowned when he heard this, and then looked at each other with several colleagues around him, communicating their thoughts with their eyes.
Finally, one of them spoke on behalf of all the mercenary leaders:
"I'm sorry, it's not that we don't want to do this, it's just... isn't this one million a bit too little? You know, the deposits Orson and the others gave us far exceeded this number."
After hearing what the other party said, Rosalin was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "How much do you want?"
The other person raised five fingers.
"Five million, we need one-third of the money as a deposit, how about it?"
"...Five million, this is not a small amount of money..." Rosalin hesitated for a while and then said.
"But, for the royal family, five million can solve an urgent need, which is quite cost-effective, right? After all, you are short of everything now, just a little money. When the political situation stabilizes in the future, will you still be short?"
"...You are right." Rosalin finally nodded.
Anyway, Alsace has already led people to seize the imperial treasury, and the total money there should be far more than the current 30 million.
In this special period, the things that can be done with money are actually the easiest things.
Thinking like this, Rosalin agreed with the ideas of several mercenary leaders.
Then, she took out a storage ring.
"Here is the money you want. Remember to do something after you get it back. Otherwise, Orson and the others will not forgive you for betraying me."
"Of course, if you have money, everything will be easy."
The other party said this, took the money in Rosalin's hand with a smile, and then stood up to see off the guests.
Before leaving, a man deliberately touched Rosalin's arm, which made Rosalin angry for a while.
It wasn't until Rosaleen left that the cheerful atmosphere returned to the whole room.
"Hahaha, this is five million! Five million, you can't spend it all in a lifetime."
A mercenary leader said this.
"That's right! Give us so much money, we can directly disband the mercenary group, and the different dukes will enjoy a lifetime of blessings. I will support ten wives!"
Several people had already begun to daydream about the days to come, and there was a knock on the door of the room again.
Several people looked at each other doubtfully, and then one of them asked:
"Did any of you call for someone else?"
"No?"
"What's going on? Is it possible that Queen Rosalin is back again?"
"Oh, what's she doing here? We won't return the money to her if she goes back on her word."
They opened the door to the room and a little blond girl appeared in front of them.
"Brothers, what were you talking about inside just now? Can I join in?"
Franka stood at the door and said with a harmless smile.
Her cute tiger teeth were exposed...
Chapter 55: Hiding the truth (5.2K)
Rosalind returned to the palace, escorted by several knights.
In order to ensure Rosalin's safety, Alsace specially assigned an eighth-level high-level knight to her, as well as several seventh-level knights.
Of course, in order to show her sincerity, Rosalin did not bring an escort into the negotiation venue.
"Your Highness the Queen, are the negotiations going well?" High-ranking knight Langdon accompanied Rosalin and asked.
Langdon was previously a high-ranking knight in charge of the security station, but was dismissed from his position due to poor performance during the turmoil in the imperial city, and returned to the knights to continue serving.
Now, he has become Rosalind's full-time bodyguard, responsible for protecting Rosalind's safety.
In fact, there are no more than fifty eighth-level experts in the entire empire, and there are no more than twenty people who can actually participate in this civil strife.
Therefore, the seemingly unparalleled Imperial Queen can actually only have an eighth-level powerhouse as her bodyguard.
When Rosalin heard Langdon's words, she shook her head and sighed.
Then she spoke:
"Those mercenary leaders are useless. Don't place too much hope on them, otherwise we will suffer big losses."
Hearing this, Langdon nodded understandingly.
"I just felt unusual activity around here."
At this time, he reported what he had just discovered to Rosalind.
Rosalin suddenly became nervous when she heard this.
"You mean, someone is planning to assassinate me?"
"Not really." Langdon shook his head.
"That strange aura flickers in and out. It should be Elsa's people secretly monitoring us. I don't think there is any hostility, so there won't be any trouble here."
Rosalin frowned after hearing Langdon's words.
"So, now the person spying on has disappeared, right?"
"Um."
Langdon nodded.
"Then they're not here to spy on us!"
Rosalin made her judgment straightforwardly, then looked at Langdon, with a hint of command in her tone, and then said:
"Landon, take me back quickly."
A bad premonition emerged in Rosalin's mind.
"Why?" Langdon asked confused.
Rosalin said quickly: "They are not here to monitor us at all, but to monitor another group of people!"
After Langdon heard this, he also reacted, and then quickly led the people back.
When they came to the place where they just met again, the door was locked.
Langdon broke through the door directly, and then the scene in front of him made him feel sick to his stomach.
The scene inside is no exaggeration to describe as "purgatory on earth".
Several mercenary leaders who had just discussed cooperation with Rosalin were now dead in the room in different postures.
A man was hanging on the beam, staring at the door of the room with wide eyes. Rosalin, who had just entered, screamed in fright.
Langdon had experienced the battlefield and returned to normal after a brief adjustment, but Rosalyn was different.
Although she comes from a military family, her life trajectory is no different from that of an ordinary young lady. She has never even seen dead people, let alone the scenes in front of her.
Others were nailed to the wall with long swords, some were lying on the ground and turned into mummies, some were scalded to death with boiling water and their skin peeled off, and some were even divided into several pieces and placed on the dining table.
Among all the tragic situations, the man who hanged himself to death was considered the best way to die.
At this time, Langdon also discovered what he had just used to lock the door.
It was a rope made of hair, with a finger tied to the rope and a ring on the finger.
This ring is clearly the deposit that Rosalin paid to the leader of this group of mercenaries.
Rosalin could no longer stand firmly at this time, and several guards nearby helped her outside the house, away from the smell of blood.
Langdon looked around the room and found no evidence before walking out of the room.
"Obviously, this is Elsa and the others declaring war on us."
He came to Rosalind and explained.
"They had known for a long time that this group of people might rebel, so they had been arranging people to monitor them. After finally discovering the evidence, they came to silence them."
"I'm sorry, Her Majesty the Queen, my first goal is to protect your safety. There may be people staying here now, so it's better for us to go back first."
"Um."
Rosalin had no other thoughts at the moment. After seeing the bloody scene just now, she just wanted to take it slow.
She nodded dullly, and then let her guards help her back to the palace.
…
Time came to the next day. As the leaders of the mercenaries disappeared yesterday, their men also realized that something was wrong, and some bad rumors began to spread among the coalition forces.
Of course, Orson also expected this situation. He reorganized the mercenaries into a new mercenary group and gave each of them a large sum of money. The incident calmed down.
In the final analysis, mercenaries still have interests first. Sometimes mercenaries will have disputes with their leaders because of uneven distribution of interests. Now that they see that they can get an extra sum of money after the leader is gone, they naturally won't say much. What.
At this moment, Orson received a letter from Imperial College. A petition among students broke out within Imperial College, asking him to come forward.
Su Ri'an is on vacation now. Many students of the Imperial Academy have gone home, but some students are still staying in school. It is almost known that the Imperial Academy has become a shelter for the Elsa faction.
So, several of the students came to the temporary residence of the court magicians in the middle of the night to make trouble, and even caused a death. So many students took the initiative to petition and demanded that those who affected the neutrality of the Imperial Academy be driven out.
The beginning of this matter may be due to the secret instigation of the Alsace side, but in the process of gradual development later, it became a common goal of the students of the Imperial Academy.
Yes, most students do not want to be involved in the dispute over the royal succession. In their opinion, it is completely normal to keep Elsa, because Elsa is a student of the Imperial Academy, but that group of court magicians is not. If they stay in the academy, it will only hinder the relationship between the academy and Alsace.
They don't know that the academy has broken up with Alsace at this moment, and they just want to maintain their neutrality as much as possible to avoid being hated by the emperor.
The academy naturally cannot take the initiative to deal with this matter, so they found the student union.
Because it was the holiday, the student union was also in a semi-suspended state. Executive Director Manuel had passed through the war zone and returned to the Duke of Aragon for vacation a few days ago, and Vice President Olivia was nowhere to be found at this time. In desperation, they could only invite Orson, who was still in Saint Laurent City, back to deal with this matter.
Orson looked at the content of the letter and felt a headache.
