Bishop Winster leaned forward slightly and saluted respectfully.
His movements were standard and elegant, and he maintained them for a long time.
The Queen’s excuse was delayed, and Bishop Winston’s head was not raised for a long time.
It wasn’t until both sides were silent for a long time that Maria II sighed softly:
“Your Majesty, please forgive me.”
The voice was old and majestic, but it seemed that it no longer had the tenderness it had when calling Bishop Winter.
Bishop Winston’s movements paused slightly.
He stood up slowly, dodged a little, and cast his complicated eyes on the twilight queen again, only to find that the other party no longer looked at him, but continued to look out the window.
Maria II was half lying on the bed.
The golden sunshine fell on her body, and the queen’s long and slant shadow cast on the soft and gorgeous elf carpet on the ground, making her already stooped and thin figure even slimmer.
It is hard to imagine that such a weak and thin body could carry the entire huge Holy Mania Empire.
A gust of breeze blew from the window, making Maria II’s somewhat messy hair even more messy.
Her eyes rested on the tall and lush horse chestnut tree in the garden outside the window. She looked at the lush branches and leaves and the birds jumping happily among the treetops, feeling slightly dazed.
Bishop Winston recognized it as a tree that the Queen planted with him when she was young and before she ascended the throne.
At that time, it was just a fragile sapling, but now, it has a rich and huge shade.
It’s just that the girl who once ran around the growing saplings giggling and giggling, always stuck behind the girl like a follower, and the crybaby kid can no longer be seen.
“Your Excellency, I want to go to the palace tower to see you. Can you accompany me?”
After a long time, Maria II’s voice came again.
Her voice was hoarse and commanding.
However, under the majesty, Bishop Winter seemed to hear a pleading filled with loneliness.
This made the rejection he had prepared, “Your Majesty is weak and needs rest and should not move around,” stuck in his throat, making him unable to say it out.
With a sigh, Bishop Winston slowly turned around and looked out the door, intending to call the maid in, but was quickly stopped by the Queen:
“You don’t need to call anyone else, just you and me. You support me, help me down…”
Bishop Winston paused again.
He hesitated for a moment, but when he faced Maria II’s firm gaze, he finally sighed in his heart and went forward.
Respectfully reaching out his hand, Bishop Winston lifted Maria II up with the most standard movement of clergy supporting the elderly queen during a sacrificial ceremony.
The Queen’s body is thinner than expected, and her arms have long been withered, like dead branches.
Bishop Winston supported her, but she didn’t even feel much weight.
“Your Majesty! Why are you up?!”
The maids and guards were startled when they saw the Queen, supported by Winster, appearing at the entrance of the palace.
They wanted to help Maria II up, but she shook her head to stop her:
“No need, I feel I have some strength now, I want to go to the tower to have a look…”
“Your Majesty…”
Looking at Maria II’s trembling appearance, the maids and guards looked worried.
However, facing the Queen’s majestic and unquestionable gaze, they could only lower their heads in the end, fall respectfully behind them, and follow them towards the tower in the palace.
The tower of the Royal Palace is the tallest building in the entire palace, where you can overlook the beautiful scene of the entire city of Manyia.
Maria II always liked to climb the tower and overlook the scenery of the capital.
It’s just that she has never been there since she became seriously ill two years ago…
Winster supported the elderly queen and walked towards the tower.
They walked intermittently for twenty minutes on a journey that would normally take five minutes at most.
After starting to climb the tower, Maria II’s weak body also showed signs of fatigue. Every time she took a few steps, she would pant and rest for a long time…
“Your Majesty…why don’t we go back?”
Looking at the Queen’s difficult and painful look, Bishop Winston couldn’t help but say.
Maria II did not answer, but shook her head firmly.
One of her withered arms was tightly grasping the armrest, and the other was firmly supporting Bishop Winston’s shoulder.
The trembling body was more determined than ever.
Bishop Winster sighed secretly, and quietly turned a trace of the power of faith into a blessing and sent it into Maria II’s body.
Maria II paused slightly.
The next moment, her movements seemed to become much easier.
After an unknown amount of time, the two finally climbed to the tower, the highest point of the Imperial Palace.
Struggling to stand up from the support of Bishop Winter, and refusing the maid’s support again, Maria II gasped and held on to the railings, and came to the observation deck of the tower.
Standing on the stage, she looked outside the tower and towards this beautiful city known as the “Light of the Empire”.
Here, you have a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery of the entire city of Manyia, whether it is the tall landmark building Dororia Castle Prison in the outer city, or the sacred and solemn Eternal Cathedral in the inner city, you can see clearly .
Here, you can see the criss-crossing streets in the city, the rows of elegant buildings, and the sparse pedestrians on the streets…
Maria II’s eyes swept over the spire of the Eternal Cathedral, the imperial flag flying in the Sacred Square, the gloomy Dororia Castle at the end of the main road, and finally stopped at the ethereal sky on the horizon. In the flaming red clouds…
The dusk is dim, the setting sun is like blood, and the sunset at the end of the sky is like a gold-rimmed sunset, which is now perfectly round.
The light is radiating, piercing the eyes, like a dream, so unreal.
The church bells were ringing, and flocks of white pigeons flew up from the square and flew around the tall towers in the city.
The setting sun sheds golden light on the earth, and the entire city of Manyia was covered with a golden gauze like cicada wings, and even the earth was cast in a mysterious color.
Looking at this magnificent scenery under the setting sun, the Queen’s eyes were a little confused.
She gently stretched out her hand and reached into the air, as if she wanted to grab something, but in the end, she slowly took it back…
“It’s dusk…”
Maria II sighed softly.
“Yes, Your Majesty, it is already dusk.”
Bishop Winster gave a long sigh.
Maria II nodded slightly, casting her turbid gaze into the distance, finally stopping at the Gray Castle, the noble parliament building next to the Sacred Square.
Her eyes suddenly became a little dim.
“The Great Council…isn’t it over yet?”
she asked.
“Back to Your Majesty, not yet.”
Bishop Winster replied.
After listening to his words, the old queen seemed to have thought of something, sneered, and slowly shook her head:
“Are you all quarreling over who will succeed the throne? These worms have everything in their hearts, but they don’t have the Holy Mania Empire…”
Bishop Winster remained silent and did not pick up the topic of Maria II.
After Maria II said a few words, the other party did not respond and seemed to lose interest.
She quietly looked at the sunset on the horizon without saying a word.
Gradually, the sunset gradually converged its light and became gentle.
It walked slowly like a human being, slowly approaching the distant mountains.
The brilliance is no longer dazzling, it is just a red ball, like a magic lamp with a soft flame.
“Your Excellency, can I ask you a favor?”
The Queen suddenly spoke again.
“Your Majesty, please speak.”
Bishop Winston said respectfully.
Maria II slowly turned back and looked at him.
There was a trace of silence in her cloudy emerald eyes:
“Politics is cruel, but little Theresa is innocent.”
“I never raised her as an heir. She should have been a carefree girl…”
As she spoke, Maria fell in love with Bishop Winston, with a hint of prayer in her eyes:
“Your Excellency, if one day in the future… Teresa encounters difficulties, can you help her out of my friendship?”
After hearing what Maria II said, Bishop Winston sighed in his heart.
He knows.
The heir to Maria II should not have been Princess Teresa.
Her heir, whom she originally had high hopes for, was already the only son of the legendary sword master, Grand Duke Xilin.
That is an excellent man and a qualified heir to the throne.
Unfortunately, during a rebellion a few years ago, the Grand Duke died in a duel with the rebel leader, leaving only his young daughter Theresa…
“Your Majesty, I am a cardinal archbishop of the empire and one of the electors of the church. I will naturally support Princess Teresa when she encounters difficulties.”
Bishop Winster replied.
However, after hearing his response, Maria II didn’t seem too satisfied.
She slowly lowered her eyelids, her voice a little lonely:
“Just…a bishop?”
Bishop Winster was silent.
After a moment, he opened his mouth to answer, but was stopped by the Queen.
“That’s it, that’s it…”
“Mr. Winster, please…step back. I want to stay here alone to see the scenery…I want to be quiet for a while…”
Maria II said.
Her voice no longer had any fragility, but had completely regained its former majesty.
Dignified and alienated, alienated and lonely.
Bishop Winster opened his mouth and looked blankly at the Queen’s back, a trace of apology flashing in his eyes.
After hesitating for a long time, he bowed deeply to the queen’s back:
“As you command, Sun of the Empire, Her Majesty the Great Queen…”
Then he slowly resigned.
However, when he reached the stairs of the tower, Bishop Winston couldn’t help but stop.
He looked back at the queen who was getting smaller and smaller under the setting sun, and sighed:
“Teresa… is my granddaughter after all. No matter when the time comes, I will protect her life…”
“As long as I still have breath, I will keep her safe.”
Hearing Bishop Winston’s words, Maria II’s back trembled slightly.
She tightened her fingers on the railing slightly, then slowly loosened them.
Bishop Winston stopped staying.
He turned around and left the tower resolutely.
……
The Imperial Palace seemed even more lonely at dusk.
I don’t know if it’s dinner time, but even the maids and guards seem to be missing a lot.
Bishop Winster walked alone on the avenue of the palace and walked outside the palace. His shadow stretched very long under the sunset, and behind him, the magnificent palace had slowly sunk into darkness. .
Suddenly, the harsh sound of bells came from a distance, and Bishop Winston paused slightly.
The sound of the bell came not from the direction of the church, but from the imperial palace behind him.
The bells in the palace will only ring when something big happens in the empire.
The last time it sounded was when the news of the death of Grand Duke Xilin reached the capital a few years ago.
The sound of the bell was dull and heavy, deafening, twelve times in total, echoing in the empty sunset sky… For a long time, there was no calm.
Hearing the sound of the bell, Bishop Winston couldn’t help but look back at the tower.
There was a trace of sadness, a trace of sadness, and a trace of confusion deep in his eyes.
Twelve bells ring, which means only one thing in the history of the empire.
That is the emperor of the empire, returning to the kingdom of true God…
A glint of light flashed in the depths of Bishop Winston’s eyes.
He wiped the corners of his eyes lightly and walked out of the palace without any further hesitation.
At this moment, Bishop Winston knew that with the long ringing of the palace bells, the past era was slowly coming to an end…
……
On June 17, 1073 in the Eternal Era, the Queen, Maria von Tres II, who had ruled the most powerful empire on the continent of Segas for seventy years, passed away in the tower of the Imperial Palace. He was 84 years old.
Three days later, the great nobles of the empire finally overcame the opposition of the small and medium-sized nobles and gained the initiative to propose proposals for the selection of the parliament and the throne heir.
At the age of less than 15, Princess Theresa, the granddaughter of Mary II, won the election with five votes from the current six electors and one abstention, and was supported by the nobility and church as the new head of the empire. Queen.
In order to distinguish another empress in the history of the empire who was also named Teresa, the new empress was called Teresa II.
Seven days later, Teresa II was officially crowned emperor in the Eternal Cathedral.
Due to the Holy War, most of the nobles were unable to attend. In addition, the treasury was empty due to years of war. This coronation seemed quite shabby. Only the representatives of the nobles in the Imperial Noble Council and the court nobles participated.
But even so, the young girl finally officially took over the scepter of the empire and put on the heavy crown.
One day after Theresa II succeeded to the throne, the Imperial Council of Nobles issued the first edict after the new emperor succeeded to the throne in the name of the Queen, forming a regency cabinet with the participation of the great nobles and archbishops.
In order to win the Great Holy War, to defeat the ambitious heretics, and to replenish the empty treasury and depleted army, the Imperial Parliament unanimously passed the new tax bill and conscription bill after being proposed by the cabinet.
In the bill, the imperial center relaxed various restrictions on the nobility, and agreed to increase new taxes on the major consular districts, recruit more soldiers, and form a new coalition of nobles.
When the news spread, there was an uproar across the empire and public resentment boiled.

Embarrassing, there are too many settings, it’s a waste of time.
