When the protagonist of the otome game is unintentional strategy [system]

However, even if Kolusta thinks easily and the logical chain is fully established, things are often not resolved so easily.

The mutation that was destined to happen in the dark, like a bolt of lightning on that cloudy morning, ruthlessly split the calm on the surface——

This day is the prayer day of the Celentdis family, and it is also the day that Ke Ge and the two agreed to completely cut off contact with the Goddess of Deceit.

Kolusta was anxiously waiting for the news of Gloria at home, but unexpectedly, instead of waiting for Posidoro's demise, she waited for a mutiny in the palace first.

"Ruth, His Majesty the King died suddenly."

Isabella knocked on the door of her granddaughter's room, her brows were tightly furrowed, and she hurriedly told the shocking news to the brown-haired girl, "His Royal Highness Sutrick is busy with the affairs of Westside Town, I haven't been in the royal city for a few days... But just now, our informant buried in the palace came to report that His Majesty had passed away last night, the reason is not clear, but it is said that he died of poisoning."

"...Poisoned?"

Isabella nodded with a serious expression, "The second princess seems to have been prepared for a long time. She has taken this opportunity to gather all the forces that originally supported her, and was embraced as the new queen overnight."

Kolusta gasped, "Starangui ascended the throne?!"

"The inheritance document has been approved, and no one knows how she did it," Isabella said, "His Majesty the King passed away too suddenly, and the prince's party was completely unprepared—including us, the time is too tight , it is too late to take any blocking action.”

As a master of potions and a healer appointed by the king, Starangui is in charge of the latter's daily physical examination and maintenance medicine manufacturing, so he has too many opportunities to tamper with the potions that can be imported.

It's fine if you don't make a move, and if you make a move, you will die... Kolusta has already suffered a big loss in this matter. If it weren't for Gloria's healing magic, she might not have escaped.

It is in vain to talk about the former king who believed in his daughter.

She pinched her palms and was about to say something to her grandmother when suddenly the door of the study was knocked three times, and Oliver's hasty and tense voice came, "Miss, Lord Gloria is here to visit, and she wants to See you right away."

Gloria?

Why at this time——

Kolusta frowned suddenly, as if realizing something, and almost had no time to tell Isabella before turning around and running outside, the cold sweat on her back immediately soaked her clothes.

Day of Prayer showdown...The king is poisoned and killed...Starangel takes the throne...Gloria visits...

These seemingly unrelated things are closely connected by a thread behind them.

—Posidoro, Goddess of Deceit.

When Kolusta came to the living room, she immediately saw the silver-haired girl standing in the middle with a tired face.

"Le Kesi!"

She yelled, ran to the other party in three steps at a time, grabbed Gloria's hand, and said anxiously: "Have you been attacked? Are you injured? And Wende... Your Excellency the Duke ...Did the Goddess of Deceit do anything to you?"

The girl looked terrified, and asked her lover like a cannonball. Her body was stiff, her fingertips turned white, and she was almost incoherent.

"Relax...we're fine, Ruth." Gloria half closed her eyes, and gently patted Kolusta, whose face was full of anxiety.

But this comforting gentleness disappeared after only a moment, and in an instant, the silver-haired girl put on a cold and serious face again, and said to Kolusta in a deep voice: "It seems that you I have already guessed it. ——After we tore up all the prayers and swore that we would no longer believe in the Goddess of Deceit, Posidoro's soul did not dissipate as we expected..."

"Obviously, she has found a new believer." Kolusta gritted her teeth and whispered.

"Yes," the silver-haired girl pursed her lips and sighed, "Indeed, as Musen said, the power of faith is the source of the power of the gods. The power of Posedolo is manifested in the dark magic power she can drive. After becoming a 'believer', although she tried to retaliate against us, she failed to break through my light magic defense."

"Therefore, she took back the dark magic power from us, and after she found that she couldn't hurt us at all, she left the Celentdis family as quickly as possible."

Kolusta was silent for a while, and heard his own dry voice, "But at the same time, drastic changes took place inside the palace."

Posedoro may have already discovered the abnormality of Celentdis, so she secretly found a new trading partner, Starangui, and dragged Gloria back these days, so that the second princess could have enough time to poison the king , clean up the palace—

Then, in the previous night that no one knew, he successfully sat on the throne belonging to the supreme ruler of Nobili.

"I don't know when she got in touch with Starangui, but the latter—at least on the surface—has never directly approached the Goddess of Deceit over me." Gloria said coldly Said, "This is obviously a coup d'état that was carried out secretly and premeditated."

Kolusta lowered her eyes, and said with some regret: "Starangui chose to do it on today's prayer day, presumably because he was sure that the most well-informed Celentdis would confess to the Goddess of Deceit at this time. …Satrick has been busy with the affairs I entrusted to him recently, and the forces under him have their own arrangements, obviously did not expect Starangui to be so bold—"

"Under such circumstances," the silver-haired girl said calmly, "she is the one with the best chance of usurping the throne."

The sound of pattering rain came from outside the window at some point, and the jet-black clouds gradually approached like a roaring monster.

The purple light cut through the dark clouds, and Gloria's voice was drowned out by a muffled thunder that exploded from her head. She turned her head and looked quietly at the direction of the palace outside the window. Her jewel-like eyes were full of haze and coldness, just like a thunderstorm in the middle of a storm. The surging sea.

"Starangui doesn't want to be a convincing queen, and she doesn't need to be a convincing queen—she just needs to help Posedolo obtain the source of holy power. After the latter becomes the supreme god, she can naturally continue to rule Nobili with peace of mind. "Gloria said, "So, unlike ordinary usurpers, what she will do next will not be to stabilize people's hearts, but..."

"But at the fastest speed—" Kolusta said coldly with a dark face.

"Find the source of holy power."

The coastline to the west of the Nobili continent is not long, and there are not many towns either.

When Starangui was the second princess, the military power she possessed was enough to spread out sporadically in various places for secret searches, but now that she has become a queen, it is naturally even more different than before—except for the little one under Sutrick's firm control. Except that some forces cannot act rashly, the Royal Knights who only obey the king's orders have all belonged to her.

On the day of prayer, Posedolo witnessed the scene of Gloria using light magic for defense. The latter has lived in the royal city for a long time and has almost never traveled far, so Starangui found her without any effort. The target that should send troops next is the real place where the source of holy power is hidden——

Kolusta's hometown, Seaside Town.

"...It's her again."

The new queen wore a gorgeous long dress, and a heavy crown robe with a white velvet shawl was draped behind her. On the young girl's head was a crown inlaid with bright gemstones. Although it was extremely heavy, it symbolized the only supremacy.

Starang Gui's lavender eyes turned slightly to the side, and landed on the glamorous goddess who seemed to have become more transparent in front of her, and said lightly: "So, my lord goddess... the thing you are looking for is in this small town Among them, right?"

"That's right, my queen—Clara was the first god to fall, and all her divine power of light was absorbed by the source of holy power," Posedolo raised his head, looking a little tired, " Therefore, the place where the light magician appears must be the real source of the holy power."

"Okay," Starangui retracted his gaze and said casually, "According to what you said before, 'use a sufficient amount of human blood as a guide and gather it into a magic circle' is to summon the source of holy power." method?"

"Actually, my dear, this is the method of the Dark God," Posedolo didn't seem to care about her indifferent attitude, but instead changed to a more graceful posture, leaning lazily on the half-destroyed carat Pulling beside the statue, he showed a seductive smile to the Queen, "I heard that the Goddess of Light has already researched a more peaceful way, but obviously she doesn't want to share it with us old friends."

"—and this led me to use such cruel methods to get what I want—oh, I don't want to, how bloody the war is," the Goddess of Deceit sighed, her long and slightly curly hair The eyelashes swept up and down, gently scratching the air like soft feathers, "But who told our Lord Clara to be so stingy... Even her favorite sister, Taylor, didn't know which one is more effective, And a cleaner 'condensation spell'."

clean……

Starangui bent his lips for this indifferent-sounding adjective.

After patiently listening to Posedoro's long list of complaints, she straightened the crown on her head casually, showed a formulaic smile, and said politely: "Don't worry, Mrs. Posedoro... it's just a town, but it's not too bad." Don't get your hands dirty, just leave it to me."

After receiving an approving and satisfied look from the Goddess of Deceit, she raised her skirt slightly and bent her knees, saluted the other party slightly, then turned and walked out of the church.

However, the moment he stepped out of the gate, the smile on Starangui's face suddenly dissipated, and his beautiful face returned to a pure and noble indifference.

She walked straight forward with a blank face, her high heels made a clear but eerie sound on the marble floor.The servants waiting outside lowered their heads and carefully followed behind the queen, watching the blond girl step by step back to the gorgeous throne she just sat on.

"Let Kwitt Matty come to me."

She turned her head slightly, showed a gentle smile to the maid standing respectfully, and said calmly: "I have an important task, and I have to entrust it to him personally."

……

Kvit walked into the palace under the guidance of the maid, keeping his head down and not squinting all the way.

After coming under Starangui's eyelids, he still maintained that respectful posture, knelt down on one knee more cautiously, and said without raising his eyes, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for getting what you wish."

The queen who was sitting upright raised her eyebrows, smiled at him very much, and said slowly: "You are always so considerate, Kvit... stand up, don't be so restrained, of course I can allow you to have A privilege to be able to speak as equals."

Her tone was extremely sincere, as if she really didn't mind those red tapes, she was generous and kind.

——However, even though Starangui showed such an attitude, Kvitt still maintained the posture just now, without moving a muscle.

He lowered his head and said warmly: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty, but I still insist that etiquette should be followed... After all, your status is different, and you deserve more respect."

These words were also sincere, and even sounded more sincere than Starangui's speech just now.

Starangui bent his eyes, properly hid the meaningful look in his eyes, and said in a chant: "Oh, I have to say, chatting with you is really a pleasure."

She showed a more vivid and gentle smile, put her hands on her knees, her slender snow-white fingertips overlapped, just covering a delicate iris flower embroidered on the golden skirt with deep purple silk thread.

"I have a task for you," she said softly, "You are the most suitable candidate, Kvitt... I dare say that if you don't agree, no one will be able to do this."

Hearing such a decisive evaluation, Kvitt couldn't help being taken aback for a short time.

He frowned under the cover of his hair, his fingertips hidden under his sleeves tightened slightly, and an ominous premonition gradually filled his heart, but his voice was still calm and said: "Yes, Your Majesty?"

"My fortune teller tells me that a town on the coast of the mainland is about to become the source of some kind of disaster, which unfortunately will endanger the entire kingdom as well."

Starangui lazily raised his eyelids, his lavender eyes stared at the stiff Kvitt like a snake, as if he had found a shivering prey, he said softly and dangerously: "As Nobili The ruler of the world, I am obliged to put an end to this potential crisis..."

"Kvitt, my loyal friend—I think I may have to ask you to lead an army to this small town as quickly as possible..."

She paused, smiled and said, "And destroy it secretly."

Kvit's fingertips dug into the palm of his hand.

His throat seemed to be burning with a ball of fire, and he couldn't make a sound at all; but the blood all over his body seemed to be frozen into a glacier in the Northland, so cold that it was almost stagnant and could not continue to flow in his body.

"...Your Majesty," the young man under the throne lowered his head deeply and asked in a low voice, "I would like to ask you, which town is it?"

Starangui stared at him, the smile on his lips deepened.

"Of course, of course I should tell you."

Kvit slowly raised his eyes, looking back at the blond queen sitting on the high place with a blank expression.

Starangui raised his eyebrows, blinked at him, and said with a smile as it should be: "'West Side Town'-a quite familiar place, isn't it? That's why I said, you are The best one."

"You are my loyal friend, Kvit." She repeated meaningfully again, "I hope you will not disappoint me this time either."

In the empty palace, the young man kneeling on one knee was silent for a long time.

After a while of silence, under Starangui's staring gaze, which was gradually filled with probing intentions, Kvit took a deep breath, as if he had made some difficult decision, and bowed his head deeply towards the girl on the throne, and finally Made a gesture representing surrender——

"...Happy to serve you, Your Majesty."

The queen's eyeballs moved, and the suspicion and oppressive feeling around her disappeared immediately. She stepped down from the throne, tightly grasped Kwitt's hand like a most benevolent monarch, and helped him up herself. He praised: "Very good."

"For your loyalty and sacrifice, I have decided to hand over the highest command of the Royal Knights to you." Starangui said with a smile, "I will be looking forward to news of your victory in the Royal City... I hope this is not the case. Will make me wait too long, my dear friend."

The author has something to say: The matter of Starangui conditioning the king's body was mentioned in Chapter 49.
