Chapter 886

Early June 1073.

That's five months after the eternal church launched the great jihad against the Church of life.

With the continuation of the war, the decline of the aristocratic alliance in the human kingdom is more and more obvious. On each battlefield, the Church of life has launched a counterattack.

From the desert of death to the forest of elves, and from Fengyue to the Southern Alliance of road chasers, the news of the defeat of the noble alliance continued to rain back to the center of the human kingdom, which was more and more exaggerated, and made the human nobles more and more frightened.

At the same time, in the human kingdom, especially in the Holy maniyah Empire, where the Church of life holds the strongest control, the missionary activities of the Church of life, which were successfully suppressed by the eternal church, have been carried out again in full swing and secretly with the reversal of the war situation

A very delicate atmosphere began to spread throughout the human kingdom, in the holy empire of mandia.

When the time came to the middle of June, another important news happened in the Holy maniyah empire.

After the "twilight and sunset" incident, Maria II, the Empire's Queen, who was bedridden with anger, finally regained consciousness for a moment after nearly two years of intermittent coma.

However, not long after she was sober, the 84 year old queen of the Empire fainted again when she learned the news of the great Jihad and the defeat of the aristocratic alliance.

This time, the imperial Queen's condition deteriorated sharply and she never woke up again

The news of the Queen's critical illness soon spread to the center of the Empire, and the whole human empire fell into a kind of chaos again.

Especially after the cardinal, who is good at healing magic, was invited to the Queen's bed by the central nobles to perform the healing magic, but he could only shake his head helplessly, the atmosphere of the entire Imperial Cabinet and imperial parliament became more delicate.

Everyone realized that the empress, who had ruled the Empire for 70 years, would die at any time when the oil and lamp ran out.

Holy maniyah Empire, it's going to change.

The external war failed and the internal political situation was unstable.

This made the aristocratic Council of the Holy maniyah Empire more chaotic.

Especially after the news that the queen of the Empire was in critical condition was thoroughly spread, the aristocrats with different thoughts quarreled more fiercely in the parliament.

About the next emperor, about the situation of the great Jihad, about their own interests... The nobles quarreled very much.

The queen is like a pin.

Even if the queen was seriously ill, the aristocratic Council and the Regent of the bishop of winster in the past two years, the whole holy maniyah empire could function normally in the prestige accumulated by Maria II in the past 70 years.

However, when the empress is in critical condition, when anyone can feel the atmosphere of the middle and high levels of the Empire, which may change at any time, the nobles will unconsciously start to plan for the future, start to form a group, and start to stand in line

Similarly, there are also careerists who are ready to move in the dark.

However, just like a coin always has two sides.

Perhaps it was because the defeat of the great Jihad seriously frustrated the power of the imperial aristocracy, especially those who had the strength to fight for the throne. The entire imperial Parliament had no objection to the fact that the current imperial family, the Torres family, continued to inherit the imperial throne.

However, the nobles began to quarrel fiercely about whether to choose Princess Theresa, the orthodox successor of Maria II, as the new emperor or choose a more experienced adult member of the royal family as the emperor.

Among them, the big nobles tend to support the young princess as the emperor, while the small and medium nobles prefer to choose a royal member who can turn the tide.

The two sides quarreled bitterly in the imperial Parliament. It seems that they have long forgotten the fact that although the queen of the Empire was critically ill, she was still alive and still the master of the Empire

"The throne must and can only be inherited by Princess Theresa! According to the imperial edict of his majesty Karl I, Princess Theresa is the "bishop" of the Empire

Seeing winster, the Knights fell on one knee and saluted respectfully.

Bishop winster nodded slightly and stepped into the carriage with the help of a knight.

The church is not far from the palace.

In the carriage, bishop winster soon entered the palace, which represents the highest power of the Empire.

Perhaps it is because today is the day of the grand meeting of the aristocratic Council, and there is a lot of desolation in the imperial palace. Only a few maids and court attendants come and go.

When winster came to the palace where the queen was, he still didn't see even an aristocrat.

"Your Majesty is waiting for you in there, Monseigneur."

The knight saluted and opened the magnificent gate for him.

Bishop winster nodded and entered the chamber.

There was no one in the room except Maria II, the queen of the Empire on the bed.

Her majesty, who has ruled the Holy maniyah empire for 70 years, seems to be alone at this moment.

No feudal political entity can tolerate the failure of the supreme ruler for two years.

Even in the history of the blue star Dynasty, those emperors who did not go to court for decades still kept a firm grip on the government while they were away from the court.

Not to mention, the whole history of the Holy maniyah empire is the history of the constant game between the nobility and the emperor, and the constant struggle between decentralization and centralization.

Two years of intermittent coma, two years of political gap, although the Queen's prestige is still, but she has been in essence the aristocratic Council overhead.

At this moment, she has been abandoned by the nobles.

Maria II lay half in bed, her head sideways, quietly looking out of the window at the view of the garden.

Her hair was messy, her face was haggard, and her old appearance looked like a branch that might break at any time.

She's almost 84 years old.

Looking at the imperial master like the sunset on the west mountain, bishop winster felt sad.

He also came from the Torres family.

According to his seniority, he should even address his Majesty's cousin.

When they were young, they even had a good friendship and used to be inseparable playmates.

Of course, he stepped into the legend and lived a longer life than ordinary people, while Maria II, however, lacked talent along the way.

Bishop winster vaguely remembers the days when he played in the palace with Princess Maria II when he was a child.

Now think about it, maybe that time is the most beautiful and carefree day.

Seventy years is long, but seventy years is short.

Bishop winster witnessed the young girl's succession to the throne from her father who died suddenly when she was young. At that time, Maria was facing the domestic opposition's accusation and the four secular electors' covetous eyes.

He witnessed the girl's constant efforts and learning in the wavering political situation. When she was less than 16 years old, she went to the army in person, suppressed the noble rebellion again and again, and finally stabilized the situation.

He also witnessed the Maiden's new deal after her accession to the throne, which injected new vitality into the empire that had been in decline for decades, and repaired the Holy maniyah Empire, which had been sailing in the sea of history for thousands of years and was already full of holes

However, one's power is too small.

Even if this person is an emperor, even if this person is the ruler of an empire.

She had tried her best, but still could not really solve the contradictions within the Empire.

At this moment, that once innocent, beautiful and lovely girl, that smart, resolute and brave girl, has come to the end of her life

Even though she has worked hard all her life and worked hard all her life, what she left her successors is a more chaotic and unstable country.

Bishop winster's expression was very complicated, and there was a twinkle of guilt in his eyes.

At the sound of the door opening, Maria II turned her head gently.

Her turbid eyes turned to bishop winster, and a smile rose from her old face.

Unlike a sick face a few days ago, today's Maria II seems to have a good look and a little ruddy.

"Lena, you're here."

She called softly.

Leiner is the nickname of bishop winster before he became a friar in the eternal church.

His former name was Linus von Trez.

Or prince tres.

Bishop winster had a sour nose at the long lost name of Lena.

He sighed and bowed down

"Cardinal winster of the Church of eternity, I have seen your majesty..."
