Succubus' Manor

The tranquility of the morning was quickly shattered.

More than 30 "holy children" ran out of the holy courtyard. Some of them found their own homes, while others found that their parents had moved away.

So far, the true face of the Holy Court has finally been known to the world.

The commoners couldn't believe that the Holy House, which they spent countless energy and money to support, was such a dirty and filthy organization.

Chi Yan looked at the civilians howling on the street. Some of them were crying, some were cursing, and some were still resisting to believe that the Holy Court was such a place.

And now the leaderless Holy Court can't come up with a feasible way to defend itself.

Especially after Augersig's "speech", Augersig had waited long enough for this day.

In the early morning, standing under the steps of the Holy Court, he tore off the last layer of skin of the Holy Court.

The civilians are stupid.

Nothing is more convincing than the words of a holy master.

Augsig said that his parents, like all parents who sent their children to the Holy Court, thought that their children could become children of the Holy Spirit, and then went home contented.

They don't even dare to see their children very often.

"I still don't know if they know that my brother is dead." When Augersig said this, his eyes were calm, "Maybe even if they knew, they would only think that my brother went to the holy spirit. "

Then he told about himself and how he was taken to the room of the Holy Master and the Abbot.

Augsig laughed and said, "The Holy Whip can baptize people's souls. Does any of you want to try it?"

Countless civilians covered their ears.

They were all the ones who sent their children to the Holy Court. They didn't dare to listen at all, and they couldn't believe that they sent their children to the Holy Court by themselves.

Even in the countryside, even in small places, there are still lords who rely on sleeping to ward off evil spirits, but those who are sleeping do not include children under ten years old.

What's more, this is the holy courtyard, even if the common people here are illiterate, they are not really illiterate people.

The Holy House was defeated.

In just one month, the clergy in the holy courtyard were almost gone.

Even if they closed the door of the holy courtyard, some people would throw dead rats at the door of the holy courtyard, and some people would yell and scold at the door of the holy courtyard every night.

The clergy who consider themselves holy cannot accept such "insults" at all.

It is like hell for those in high places to go back to where they belong.

With their bags on their backs, they left the holy city and went to the holy courtyards in other cities.

At least there, they came from the holy city and the holy courtyard, noble and virtuous priests.

Augsig also left. He took the road money that Chi Yan had sent him, and followed the merchants on the road to Stettin.

He told Chi Yan that he was planning to go directly to Aliya after he arrived in Stettin, and he wanted to rent a piece of land in Aliya and farm it by himself in the future.

Chi Yan also promised not to collect his tax, and he would not collect his tax during his lifetime.

It only took a month for the civilians to go from shock and disbelief to hatred and numbness.

The priests left, but the saints couldn't leave. Except for Augsig, who was protected by Chi Yan and successfully left the holy courtyard, the remaining saints were hanged by the royal family.

The whole city watched the sentence.

On the day of the execution, Chi Yan also went to see it. He and Kleist stood under the stage, looking at the high platform built overnight, and the saints were brought out one by one. Full of tears and despair.

Those civilians who still had respect for the Holy Court and reverence for the Holy Master stood in the audience, crying.

As they were pushed off the platform and hung from the gallows, the cries of the civilians grew louder.

It's not just that more than a dozen holy masters died.

It's the belief of the common people—shattered.

There is no Holy Spirit in this world, no one or God can save them.

They will roll in the world of pain all their lives.

Chi Yan took Kleist's hand, lowered his head and said, "Let's go."

Kleist: "Afraid?"

Chi Yan shook his head: "No."

It's just that people's cries were too miserable, which made him feel sorry for him.

He shattered their faith, and he didn't have the confidence to build them a new one.

During this period, it was probably the happiest period after the queen came to power. She finally felt that she was in power. Although she didn't know what happened, the ending was good. Finally, no one can brazenly fight her, and with the fall of the Holy City and the Holy Court, she can confer titles on her own and send people to take over the territories under the rule of the Holy Court.

She is finally about to reclaim the land lost to her ancestors!

The Queen said to Juster, "Who are you going to send?"

Juster: "If you send the nobleman's second and third sons there, then everything you have done before will be in vain."

The queen looked at her nails: "I know it well."

Just because it is clear, I know that this is a problem.

Those second sons and third sons who have titles are most useful if they don't have territories and stay in their own homes.

If sent out...

Just said softly, "Your Highness, I have another solution."

Queen: "Say."

She couldn't leave Just now more and more.

Just smiled and said, "You can send their father."

"Those viscounts, earls and dukes shouldn't mind taking over other cities, so his children will stay in the original cities."

"A family will not have two leaders. Even if the younger brother is willing to obey the elder brother, will the elder brother think so?"

At that time, it will only be fighting in the same room, brothers fighting against each other.

Just: "Your Highness, it's not far from your becoming His Majesty. I can already see that it's time for you to hold the supreme power and sit on the throne."

The queen's breathing suddenly became rapid.

That was her dream, a huge and beautiful dream, she never thought that the dream would come true so soon.

The queen closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were full of determination, she turned her head and smiled at Juster: "Juster, you are fine."

Just half knelt on the ground: "It is my honor to be loyal to His Majesty."

"Your Majesty..." The queen waved her hand and let Juster back out.

She walked to the window sill and looked at the starry sky outside the house. How she wished that her brother and her father were still alive to see what she was doing.

As for her husband...

The queen smiled.

This city, this country, is finally hers.

Even Chi Yan felt the Queen's excitement, she seemed to be dazzled by the excitement, she even sent guards to arrest those saints who were once trusted and favored by the Holy Court.

But what do the guards know?You can only ask the stewards of each street.

Of course, the steward knew that this was a good opportunity to retaliate.

No one tried the case. After these people were arrested, they were quickly hanged.

However, none of the civilians under Chi Yan's protection were killed.

——With the nobles as guarantors, even if the queen really wanted to catch her, she could only die first.

In addition to arresting the saints, the whole city was searching for the Flanders, and there was no trial, and it didn't matter whether the other party was a businessman or a captured slave. After being caught by the guards, he would not escape death.

Chi Yan didn't understand her intellectually, but he could understand her emotionally.

She seemed to have been oppressed by the Holy Court for a long time, and the first thing she did after gaining power was to regain the face of the royal family.

Killing those who did not regard the royal family in the eyes, the face will naturally be recovered, and it can also deter others and kill others as an example.

In addition to the violent means, it seems understandable.

But as a king, this cannot be understood or forgiven.

A commoner is first and foremost a subject of the king, no matter what faith the commoner once held.

Killing chickens as an example to monkeys is not indiscriminate killing.

"If I were her, after I killed the holy master, I would only arrest the clergy and force them to swear to give up their faith in front of the common people. If they don't want to give up, they will be sent to see the Holy Spirit." Chi Yan sighed, " Only when the leaders give up their faith will the common people give up."

Chi Yan: "But if she does this, it will unite the remnant party."

Kleist smiled: "It's not good for her to do this, but it's good for you."

Chi Yan didn't refute, he nodded: "At first I thought it would take longer, but now it seems that next year will be enough."

"Nobles are easy to bribe." Chi Yan hugged Kleist's waist, and buried his face into Kleist's chest, "They are short-sighted, and after the queen can't give them more power, they are more willing to listen My words, because I can give them sugar and wine."

Kleist: "The more fools you have, the better for you."

Chi Yan: "I'm just a little worried, what should I do if the officials I appoint are as stupid and greedy as them?"

Kleist: "Then kill it."

Chi Yan looked up at Kleist.

Kleist lowered his head and kissed Chi Yan's lips, and whispered in Chi Yan's ear, "They know the queen won't kill them."

"So they have nothing to fear."

Kleist bit Chi Yan's ear lightly: "But you are different, would you be reluctant to kill the lord?"

"When a lord dies, the next lord will always appear. This world will never lack people who want to be lords and become rulers."

"All you have to do is to distinguish rewards and punishments."

Chi Yan nodded, and said softly, "I've been worrying all this time."

Kleist: "What are you worried about?"

Chi Yan plucked up his courage and said, "I'm worried that you think I've changed, worried..."

Worrying about my lover leaving me.

Chi Yan was not ready to be a loner, and he never wanted to be.

Kleist raised Chi Yan's chin, looked into Chi Yan's eyes, and said seriously and affectionately, "How could it be?"

He put his hand on the back of Chi Yan's head: "Do you know how I love you the most now?"

Chi Yan was a little nervous. It had been a long time since he and Kleist had said such nasty words, his ears turned red, and he asked embarrassingly, "What?"

Kleist bent down and bit Chi Yan's lower lip: "You look ambitious and full of desire."
