After Becoming The Tyrant

The moment he stepped into the Rose Palace, Yali shivered.

Before defecting from the Holy Court, he had also seen many prosperous palaces.

The pope's sanctuary is full of angels and crosses, which are brilliant. He crawls among the priests in holy robes, feeling like an ant being observed on the glass.And when he was born, his beloved Blessie, when he was assisting the expeditionary force, he was received by the old Blessie King. Blessie's palace was resplendent and magnificent, and the nobles came here wearing fancy dresses with lace lapels. In the past, everyone kept saying "the Lord is above", and when he was there, he looked around and felt sad.

What nobleman, what king?But a flock of lambs bred by flowers and hypocrisy.

But Legrand's palace was quite different from them.

Its lines are slender and sharp, like a knife or a sword.It is like a well-dressed knight, both noble and lonely.The Rose Palace is very quiet, so quiet that you can feel that there is always a sad wind passing through its corridors and domes. At the same time, it is also very cold, so cold that it seems that the people who live here are not the most noble people in Legrand. man, but a solitary night watchman.

It is so old here, majesty and death are stationed together on all the magnificent and magnificent reliefs.

"As expected of the heart of a dragon..."

Yali heard the old president beside him sigh.

"Dragon heart", Yali repeated the word in his heart, suddenly shuddering.

The head of internal affairs who led them stopped in front of a door decorated with rose reliefs. After getting permission, the head of internal affairs pushed the door open.

Ari once again met Legrand's young lord.

The king was sitting on the high-backed chair beside the desk, the hand with the rose ring hanging slightly on the armrest.The moment he saw the king, Ali's pupils shrank slightly.Scarlet, black, turbulent swirls... Yali almost wanted to raise his hand to grab his hair.

The shattered picture flashed quickly in front of his eyes, as if he had forgotten something, and was touched again the moment he saw the king.

What are those?What does it symbolize?

As soon as Yali's anomaly appeared, the king caught something wrong with him at that moment.

"Your complexion is worse than the last time I saw you, sir." The king said, he looked at the old president beside Yali, "Could Blacy and the Holy Court really have fallen to this point, Can’t even feed and clothe a scholar?”

"Sorry for making Your Majesty laugh."

The old president bowed slightly, then took out a crystal pendant hanging from a silver chain from his arms, and placed it in front of Yali twice.

Ari, who was pale, took a step back, and finally broke free from those terrifying phantoms.Panting slightly, he immediately realized his impoliteness, and immediately bowed deeply to the king in apology.

"I already know the purpose of your visit." The king said lightly.

"Thank you for your pity during your busy schedule." The old president was extraordinarily respectful, "Please give us a chance to make up for our mistakes. Your Majesty." His posture was very low, the king was younger than he imagined, Not even youth.But there is a kind of coldness and scrutiny on the king, which makes people unable to look at him with his age.

Legrand is so lucky to have a true king.

"Fault?" The king smiled. "If it refers to the dream that you assisted the expeditionary force in the battle, I don't think it is a fault. Am I going to blame all the soldiers who fought?"

He was smiling and his voice was very soft.

When Yali breathed a sigh of relief, he saw the old president knelt down slowly and pressed his forehead to the cold ground.

"Indeed, when the two countries are at war, soldiers and swords are not at fault. Our fault is betrayal." The old president raised his head, "At the beginning, we betrayed Eleanor, and it was our fault."

Betrayal, Eleanor... Yali couldn't understand what his mentor was saying.

The smile on the king's face disappeared, and the chill gathered in his eyes. He said softly: "Yes, you betrayed my mother."

The killing intent condensed in an instant.

Yali looked at the king and then at the old president, and finally knelt down.

"That was the worst choice we made." The old president whispered, "We are sorry to Eleanor, we betrayed her trust."

The king was expressionless.

The dark-haired queen mother sat on the black stone tower.

She flicked the arc knife with her fingers, and the wind blew her long hair.She hummed an old tune in a low voice, the folk song of the Khoya.On the night that Duke John became the King's Defender, the Queen Mother Eleanor hid in the darkness, taking a distant look at the Koya bard in the crowd.

Folk songs are ancient and passed down from generation to generation.

………………

The old president will always remember the girl with black hair and green eyes.

That was his best student.

At that time, he was not the president of the "Association of Prediction and Destiny". He was just an astrologer who was unwilling to be controlled by the Holy Court and was afraid of the Holy Court. Keya hid in the mountains surrounded by his anonymity.Among Legrand's 36 states, Keya is actually the youngest one.The Koya people originally lived in the mountains. They love art and peace. They are an ancient nation in the mountains in the south of Legrand.

But in such a chaotic world, peace can hardly last long.

William III succeeded to the throne amidst the flames of war.

At that time, the father of William III and the Duke of Buckingham, Charles the Lion, was murdered, and Queen Isabel married Duke Bedell, the brother of Charles the Lion.Duke Bedell's father was killed because he failed to compete for the throne, and he has always been worried about it.After marrying Isabel, Duke Bedell immediately extended his hand to his nephew's throne.

After the Duke of Bedell married the queen, his power swelled. Compared with him, William III and the Duke of Buckingham were just two too young brats.

It was a civil war that swept across the land of Legrand.

The royal family concentrated all their efforts on suppressing the rebellion, and the border lords took the opportunity to conquest and occupy each other's land.Keya, who was originally a free city-state, was involved in the flames of war. The peace-loving Keya was caught between two great lords and suffered from the flames of war.

Eleanor is loving her homeland.

During that time, the old president watched Ilinor divination again and again, wanting to know what the future of Keya would be, and why Keya would suffer such ordeals.The old president also divination, he saw the blood and fire, saw the holy war crushed by, all the insignificant ones are just dust under the torrent.

Is this their fate?

At that time he thought so.As astrologers, they evaded the pursuit of the holy court, like blind mice being carried forward by fate, they could only follow the trend.

"Fate can also be changed."

Eleanor said so. When the border lords led troops to plunder again, Eleanor divined their route. She picked up the spear and put on the armor.At first, she was alone, but gradually more and more people gathered behind her.

At that time, Legrand had no more beautiful woman than her.

When she rushed out of the raging fire wearing armor, all the light of the world was concentrated on her body.Her beauty is like a red gun tip being burned by a raging fire, she is fiercely beautiful, but also crazy beautiful.An astrologer, leading a band of desperate men to fight like wolves.

Finally, the border lord and Eleanor leading a group of farmers and herdsmen faced each other across the burned valley.

In the firelight, she is the incarnation of the Goddess of War.

The lord was frightened and withdrew with his army.

The crowd cheered and raised their swords high.The young dark-haired woman dismounted and smiled with them.At that time, people came to her like a flood, and braided thorns from the fire that was not quenched, and wove them into simple crowns.A very old Keya old man put on the crown of thorns for her.

From that moment on, Koya had her own queen, and their queen's name was Eleanor.

That was the queen chosen by the Koyas themselves.

They love her like she is their only god.

On the night of Eleanor's coronation, the Elder Master bids her farewell.

"My dear child, you proved to me that fate can indeed be changed." The old president handed her a note, "Compared to you, I am a coward who can only escape. Now that you have set foot on If I have entered my own battlefield, then it is time for me to set foot on my own battlefield."

The teacher and the students parted ways on the ridge where the flames of war continued, and agreed to meet again on the same battlefield in the future.

After leaving Legrand, the old president followed the other astrologers who went to the Holy Court, crossed the Abyss Strait, and came to the Holy Court Sanctuary.

It took him ten years to gather all unwilling astrologers to establish a second alliance under the names of "Prediction" and "Destiny".

When the Second League was formed, he wrote with joy for the first time to his pupils:

"...We will wait for the day of turning point. At that time, those who read fate will no longer be dominated by fate, and we will fight against it. I invite you to join us."

………………

"But you have broken your oath."

said the king coldly.

"Yes."

The old president said bitterly.

"It is difficult for a man to always keep his vows."

Especially in the Holy Court, day by day, I witnessed the power of the Holy Court so powerful, strong enough to defeat courage, enough to be reduced to a slave who lived in vain, and did not think about struggling until the moment of death.

"Is it difficult for a person to always keep his oath?"

The king read it over.

He suddenly wanted to laugh.

Is it difficult for people to keep their vows?Then, the Rose family that has persisted for 1000 years, the alchemist who turned into a skeleton warrior... what are they?

In this world, there are people who stick to it for decades.There are also people who are generous, but in the end it is just a moment of bravery.

"You're nothing but a coward."

The old president wanted to say something, but the king interrupted him coldly.
