The minister died and the empire fell.
The news quickly spread to every corner of the capital, and people didn't believe it at first, but soon, when the minister's head was hung on the flagpole (the one where Chelsea was hung in the original book), people believed it!
"The minister is dead! The minister is dead!"
For a moment, all the people cheered, they were cheering for Alexander, the new king.
On this day, countless cruel and vicy noble mansions were destroyed,
On this day, the homes of countless officials who have been ungrateful for profit were wiped out.
On this day, countless people sing, dance and set off firecrackers to celebrate the coming good days.
Although there were voices of resistance, there was no big wave at all under Esdeath' wrist.
At the same time, generals from all over the world also came to report that the control of each city had been taken, and this huge empire was overthrown so easily!
Without shedding a drop of blood from the conqueror side.
"Your Majesty, the head hanging in the pole was lost within ten minutes. I just saw two groups of children playing football in the square with the missing head…"
In the palace, Run is reporting to Alexander.
In the current situation, he is truly convinced by Alexander now that such a big matter as the overthrow of the empire can be handled in an orderly manner, and all the decrees are issued very appropriately. Compared with the original little emperor, he is simply the emperor of heaven!
If Grand Duke and Nero know about Run's thoughts, they will scold him to death.
It's the two of them who are dealing with it!
"Okay, don't worry about it, his head is meant to be played. By the way, how about the Revolutionary Army and Western Tribe? Does anyone disagree with me being the emperor?"
Alexander looked at Najenda next to him, and Najenda shook her head. "I have already told the Revolutionary Army what happened here, and they said that as long as you are a good emperor, they are willing to submit to you. As for Western Tribe…
"I'm back." On the other side, a figure in a blue and white knight outfit walked in, and seeing Artoria came back, Alexander showed a smile.
"Welcome back Artoria, did you encounter any trouble?"
"No." Artoria shook her head, "I just destroyed a mountain with a sword in front of Western Tribe, and then, they announced their dissolution."
Artoria's words made Najenda on the side sweat like rain, you destroyed a mountain with a sword! Who are you! Oh my god, it's lucky that the revolutionary army didn't cause trouble, otherwise, it's not just the mountain that will be destroyed by now.
"Okay, the rest will be left to Artoria, the Grand Duke, and Nero. I am relieved to have the three of them here."
After Alexander finished speaking, he stood up directly from the throne. What kind of emperor would he be? The emperor himself is just a name; the real governance still depends on the Grand Duke and the others.
As for whether Alexander will be ostracized?
Just kidding. As Alexander, he doesn't care about such a country, and with Artoria and the others handling the work, he's not worried about leaving.
"Alexander, I-I can't help you govern the country. Iam not a qualified king." Artoria shook her head. The Empire is larger than Great Britain, and she didn't dare to take on such a responsibility. She had already ruined Great Britain once and didn't want to ruin another country.
Seeing Artoria's hesitation, Alexander patted her on the head and said, "Have more confidence in yourself. If you can't do it, then no one can."
"But, Great Britain…"
"I trust you."
Alexander didn't wait for Artoria to finish. He just said, "I believe in you." These words left Artoria speechless.
Artoria felt a warm current rushing into her heart. Perhaps, this is what it feels like to be trusted, and it feels really good.
As Alexander left, Artoria turned to Run beside her. She knew he was the newest internal affairs officer of the empire.
"Give me the current situation of the empire," she requested.
"Yes, Empress Dowager."
"Wait, what did you call me just now? I'm not the Empress Dowager!" Artoria blushed. She admitted she didn't hate Alexander, and even relied on him, but becoming an Empress Dowager? That was too much!
"Then what should I call you? Queen? But Nero said she is the Queen?" Run was confused. When he saw Nero earlier, she claimed to be the master of Alexander's harem.
Run didn't say a word. He knew the strength of Esdeath and Nero, and now he heard that the woman in front of him destroyed a mountain with a sword. He couldn't afford to mess with them.
Artoria, however, was unaware that this was all caused by Nero's antics. She knew Nero's character, but she just shook her head helplessly and said, "No need, just give me all the information."
She sat on the seat and began to deal with government affairs. She didn't even deny it. Was this a tacit consent?
