I Will Be The Crowned King

By the time the Queen Mother came to the headquarters on Whitehall Street in disguise, the police guarding outside the gate had already been removed, and there was not even a single person in sight.

This made the already frightened Anne Herrid even more nervous... But then the deputy director of the Whitehall Street Police told her that this was exactly the tactic used by the ruling lord to hide the truth; Guess that Ansen Bach is locked up here—the real garrison is already on standby nearby, and can be assembled at a signal.

Although I don't know whether the police army that the other party said "responsible for orders at any time" exists, it still makes the Queen Mother feel a little relieved.

When I came to the gate of the prison, before I walked in, a familiar figure was coming out.

Ludwig, who pushed the door out, looked tense, his sleeves were pulled to the elbow joints, the dirty military uniform did not hide the leather whip, saber and revolver at the waist, slightly shrugged shoulders and The panting sound seemed to prove that he had just gone through some strenuous exercise.

The most eye-catching thing is that he wiped the dirt on his hands with a rag as he walked... dark red, sticky dirt.

Under the dim light, the tense Queen Mother still tried to calm down, pretending to turn a blind eye.

"Your Majesty." Ludwig stuffed the rag into his trouser pocket with his backhand, stood still and bowed his head in salute: "He's inside, waiting for you."

"Don't worry, you're still awake, and very sober."

This somewhat inexplicable sentence made Anne Herrid feel terrified again... The predecessor of the Whitehall Street police was the Guards, and she had heard of how many tricks those people had to manipulate people.

What's more, the ruling lord in front of him is also a guy who eats people and doesn't spit out his bones... Not only did he openly use cannons to suppress the rebellion in Clovis City, but it is said that he is also ruthless on the front line. Officers who disobey orders will be shot to death in public by him.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but twitched her throat, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface: "Very well, my lord in power, you have proved your loyalty to the throne with your actions."

"I will report the matter to His Majesty the King, and award you the rewards and honors commensurate with such merit."

A contemptuous smile flashed across Ludwig's face with his head lowered, but he lowered his head even more respectfully: "Everything is what I should do, and I dare not ask His Majesty for credit."

I will get what I deserve, so why bother to blackmail a dead man?

At the same time as the voice fell, the courageous Anne Herrad passed by his side and walked towards the cell that was so dark that no light could be seen.

"boom-!"

The door slammed loudly, and Ludwig straightened up, his expression returning to his usual arrogance and calmness.

Adjutant Roman immediately approached: "My lord..."

"Go and tell the people in the various police offices on Whitehall Street that if you find mobs attacking this headquarters, don't resist. They can smash whatever they want, and you might as well join them if you can." Ludwig arranged: "Important The documents, have all the prisoners in the cell been transferred?"

"It's all done."

Roman nodded slightly: "The police who came to defend earlier, we asked them to take away the last batch of prisoners, and let go of a few representatives of the National Assembly who had gathered to make trouble before."

"Very well, let them make trouble and celebrate their so-called victory." Ludwig heaved a sigh of relief: "The more troublesome the better, maybe we can get some troublesome guy to eat It's hard to see if he has the ability to control the riot that he stirred up."

While speaking, he couldn't help showing a somewhat triumphant smile, as if he had already seen someone with a messy head.

On the other hand, Roman noticed another thing: "My lord, your hand..."

"Ah, you mean this?" Ludwig handed over the rag casually:

"The next time I deliver food to that guy, just have rum and grilled sausage, and let's forget about apples stewed in mulled wine... The tableware and wine utensils in the cell are also very old. You see, my hands are full yes."

……………………

In the cold and gloomy cell, the trembling Queen Mother finally saw the target of her trip: Ansen Bach was sitting on a chair that looked small and uncomfortable, with handcuffs and shackles, and clothes all over the place. Dark stains, and a large bruise on the face around the eye.

Combined with the appearance of Ludwig when he went out just now, Anne can almost directly imagine everything that happened before she came.

"My chief guard, why are you bothering?"

Although she was angry and proud, the Queen Mother still showed a trace of sympathy on her face: "You can avoid these things, I even told the royal guards in charge of carrying out the order, if you want to leave, I will let you go." escape."

"Hand over the Storm Legion, give up all your previous political resources, and you can take your accumulated wealth to your hometown in the countryside and live a carefree life; this is the retreat I gave you, but you have no Give up mercilessly."

"That's right, because I know it's not true." Anson raised his bruised eyes:

"Once there is no army and my current status, not to mention my relatives with the same surname Bach, even I myself may become your prisoner at any time and anywhere, and be accused of being a traitor-in any case, I will die, I think That would be too much of a hassle.”

"The ring of order is above, you clearly know that I will not do this!"

Queen Anne looked very angry: "You have my handle in your hands, and I have yours... This is a tacit agreement, isn't it, my lord? I am willing to abide by this tacit agreement, and I think it is fair."

"It's not fair at all, Your Majesty the Queen Mother." Anson shook his head: "Only you and I know this secret. I'm dead...you will be safe."

"...that is."

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly, and her anger was evident: "You ran here to become my prisoner with confidence, because as long as you die, my secret will be exposed... right?"

An Sen didn't speak, just looked at her silently.

So Anne Herrad became even angrier: "Okay... very good, well done, you are indeed a loyal minister personally certified by that **** Carlos... you are indeed a loyal minister, a loyal minister!"

"You don't need to speak so loudly, Your Majesty." Anson stared at her: "Since you and I both know that you won't kill me, why bother to make the relationship so stiff?"

"Me? This is my fault?!"

The queen mother's eyes widened: "I gave you the rank of lieutenant general, I gave it to you and Sofia's army department, and I gave you the official position of the head of the royal family's bodyguard—a young man who is less than thirty years old, don't you feel the kindness in you There are already too many pets?!"

"But even so, a certain person resolutely betrayed his king and queen mother, betrayed the object he said he would swear to protect in the inner court." Anne Herrad trembled with anger: "Despicable and shameless, this world How could there be such a greedy, despicable and shameless fellow like you?!"

"The problem is... I did not betray you, Your Majesty."

Anson's voice was as calm as ever: "If I really want to do that, I just need to tell the National Assembly the truth about the assassination of His Majesty Carlos II, and everything will be over; but I didn't, did I?"

"That's because you're afraid I'll expose you, you damned old gods!"

"I am an old god, but I am also a devout believer who has been double-certified by the judges of the Clovis Cathedral and the Order of Truth." Anson is not afraid at all: "You think the officers of the National Assembly and the Ministry of War believe them, Or do you believe in a queen who killed the king?"

"you…?!"

"I'm saving you, Your Majesty." Anson sighed: "I have done so many things just to prevent you from destroying yourself."

"ha!"

The Queen Mother laughed ferociously: "So, I have to thank you?"

"That's not necessary." Anson also smiled: "I just hope you understand that if you continue to make such unreasonable troubles, you and His Majesty Nicholas will only suffer."

"Vexatious... You call a king defending his rightful right to be vexatious?"

"Isn't it true that His Majesty has proved by facts that he can't control his own country at all, and now he refuses to give up the power in his hands. What do you think is waiting for him and you?"

"Arrogance!"

"I'm talking about reality."

"Then let me see, who dares to be an enemy of the king of the Clovis Kingdom, and who dares to be an enemy of the entire world of order!"

Anne Herrad was trembling with anger. She was supposed to show off her power to this guy who became a prisoner, and show the kindness of herself and the throne by the way, but instead she was taught a lesson by the other party.

It's just... unreasonable!

And Ansen on the opposite side couldn't help sighing... In fact, if possible, he really didn't intend to hurt the queen mother; the other party was not only a member of the imperial royal family, but also inextricably linked with the monastery of the Holy See.

but now…

"Only one thing, Your Majesty." Anson said with burning eyes, "If you don't want to completely become a sinner in the eyes of Clovis, please...don't try to ask the emperor of the empire, your elder brother, for help. It's completely irreparable."

"That's right, thank you very much, Your Excellency, Chief of the Royal Guard." The regent queen mother's expression turned extremely ugly:

"Don't worry, I will never do that out of impulse, absolutely!"

……………………………

That night, the news of Anson's "arrest" spread throughout Clovis City.

The National Assembly, the Clovis City Civil Assembly, the Ministry of War... It was like boiling water in an iron pot, and it exploded instantly. Everyone was either angry, shocked, or panicked.

You must know that this lieutenant general is not just an ordinary officer, he also has the identity of a representative of the National Assembly, the deputy of the Minister of War, and the chief of the Royal Guard... such a high-ranking and respected figure was arrested for no reason. .

Almost that same night, many generals from the Ministry of War and representatives of nobles from the Royalist Party went ahead to meet His Majesty the King and asked why Ansen Bach was arrested and what crimes he had committed.

The result disappointed them... At first, the king refused to meet, and the queen mother herself refused in every possible way; under the unanimous request of the ministers and generals, Anne Herrad reluctantly asked Nicholas I to explain, but hesitated The little king couldn't tell why.

Of course he couldn't tell. Anne Herrad's family had never considered arresting Ansen Bach from the very beginning, and of course they would not have considered charging him with any crime.

As for the other members of the Bach family... everyone present didn't care.

By the next day the news was on the front pages of all the papers in Clovis—Innocent National Assembly Representative, Lieutenant General, and Founder of the Act of Parliament Arrested by Whitehall Street Police, He is being held at Whitehall Street headquarters.

The representatives of the National Assembly who originally planned to compromise with the royalist party could not sit still at all. Representatives from various communities in Clovis City protested one after another, saying that they would unite with the shotgun club, and then "pull up 300,000 militiamen to fight against the unruly people." Look at the royalist bastard!"

In the Palace of Loyalty, all department heads of the Ministry of War protested collectively and sat in the war hall, demanding that the Minister of War appeal to His Majesty to release the innocent Lieutenant General Ansen Bach, because "loyal ministers should not suffer unreasonable criticism."

Sophia accepted their request, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she came to the agreed place secretly and had a private meeting with the current Speaker of the National Assembly, Christian Bach.

At the same time, all kinds of rumors and rumors in Clovis City are still spreading rapidly. There are rumors everywhere that His Majesty the King regrets agreeing to the parliamentary bill, and that the Southern Legion that is about to arrive in Clovis City is here to counterattack. people in parliament.

The rumors that could have been suppressed at first began to completely go out of control with Anson's arrest. Many parliamentary representatives who originally supported the maintenance of the monarchy's privileges and status gradually began to be shaken by the anger of their colleagues. The thoughts of thousands of representatives It began to change rapidly, even faster than the original most extreme Black Flag Party.

And at this moment, Viscount Bogner, one of the leaders of the Royalist Party, the arch-rival of the National Assembly, suddenly came to the parliament and made a proposal that made all the representatives feel thrilled.

"Everyone, let us march to the Whitehall Street headquarters and rescue Lieutenant General Ansen Bach!"

Surrounded by thousands of people in the center, Viscount Bogner looked like a high-spirited general. Kang announced to everyone the news he had just received: "The royal family of Osteria has completely betrayed its people, and Anne Heri De... Our Regent, the Empress Dowager, has asked the emperor for help, to let the army of the empire crush all the traitors who conspired."

"You! And us! In the eyes of the royal family, you are already rebellious traitors!"
