There was also some chaos inside the palace at the moment. Some maids and internal attendants were packing their luggage in a panic, and were even snatching the belongings in the palace.
Once the army breaks into the imperial capital, the palace must be the first place they visit.
"Sarah! This is mine."
"This is mine, I've been interested in this since a long time ago!"
Several maids were robbing each other of the oriental porcelain placed in the palace, and even quarreled and fought over it.
"That's royal."
A voice from one side made them stop.
They turned their heads sharply and opened their eyes in disbelief when they saw the person coming.
Isabel stood in front of them, looking at them coldly.
They hurriedly put the porcelain back in its place, half-knelt on the ground and lowered their heads.
"Your Majesty, are you back!?"
"Why, aren't you happy that I'm back?" Isabel looked down at them.
"No, no!"
The maid raised her head in panic, "The chief steward asked us to take it. He said that when the West French army came in, these things would either be robbed by them or smashed.
It would be better to give it to the Brittanians than to do this, these were his exact words. "
Isabel's brows relaxed slightly, and instead of embarrassing the two maids, she said.
"Is Fast at the palace?"
"Maintain order outside the palace." The maid said.
"Go and call everyone who is still in the imperial capital and can speak to the meeting hall." Isabel looked ahead and said as she walked.
“Just tell them I’m back.
If you want to come, come. If you don't want to come, never come. "
"yes!"
The maids looked at each other with a little joy in their eyes.
Although it is not yet known whether it can withstand the army of the West French Empire.
But Isabel came back, and they finally found their backbone.
They quickly stood up and trotted outside quickly to convey all this information to the outside world.
Dan was still following Isabel at this moment, and Hart ordered him to protect the lady, so he had to comply.
He turned his eyes away from them and looked around again. This was his first time entering the palace.
To be honest, the Valentine family's mansion is already the most luxurious place he has ever seen, so among the Valentine family, they call that mansion a place comparable to the royal palace.
But now, Dan will never say that again.
In fact, when Isabel said that she was going to the palace, Dan had already made some guesses about her identity. After all, someone with such appearance and temperament might not be able to be found all over Britannia.
He followed Isabel to the end of the corridor, pushed open a door as tall as two of him, and entered a golden hall.
The magnificent marble floors, large church-like stained windows, and even some reliefs carefully designed by artists on the top give it a cathedral-like style.
And on the high platform in front of the golden hall, a golden throne stood in the middle.
Isabel walked straight forward and sat on the throne, staring at the half-open door not far away, leaning her right elbow on the armrest, dragging her right face with the back of her hand, and waiting quietly.
Dan stood on one side and said nothing.
About ten minutes later, Fast walked in first. After seeing Isabel, his eyes lit up and he said happily.
"Isabel, you are finally back!
Where have you been these past few years? "
He stepped forward quickly, intending to come to Isabel, but then, the next moment, she heard Isabel say coldly.
"Kneel down."
Fast's steps stagnated, and he looked at her with some confusion.
She still had the same movement, dragging the right side of her face with the back of her hand, leaning lazily on one side, without anger or joy.
But there was an unquestionable meaning in those unwavering eyes.
Fast's expression changed, but he still half-knelt on the spot and lowered his head.
After a moment, Isabel's low and majestic voice came from above.
"Where are the Imperial Guards?"
Fast raised his head and said, "I'm not sure. Not long ago, the regent, Prince Victor, borrowed the Forbidden Army to support the town of Romil."
After a pause, he said, "The army of the West French Empire is about to attack the imperial capital. I have an army of a thousand people under my command, and they are waiting outside.
Next, let them escort you to Burminck Castle. "
Isabel let out a sigh of relief, and her tone became a little more serious.
"I said. Where is the Imperial Army?"
Fast's lips opened slightly unconsciously, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't. He looked into Isabel's eyes.
Her eyes became colder as time went by. Although she didn't say a word, the invisible pressure also caused a slight cold sweat to break out on Fast's forehead. He subconsciously avoided her sight and lowered his head. , said with a slight stutter.
"It should be in the snowfield."
On the throne, Isabel raised her chin slightly and looked down at Fast below. After a moment, she spoke.
"Fast, do you know why I chose you as my husband?"
Fast raised his head in confusion.
"Because the power behind you is very simple. In addition to a noble birth, your family has declined to the point where it is not even as good as some of the poorest nobles in the south.
And that's exactly what I want.
But obviously, my indulgence of you has put some things in your mind that you shouldn't have.
You have to understand one thing, everything you have now is given to you by me.
I can give it to you and take it back at any time.
I just want an obedient dog.
Not a dog that can wag its tail for everyone. "
Fast's breathing was a little heavy, and this unquestionable humiliation made his face turn red quickly. He raised his head and looked at Isabel, stood up slowly, and said with fierce eyes.
"Do you think you are still the same Isabel now?
How many more people can you order now?
How many troops do you control? "
His blood vessels were congested, and he clenched his fists and walked straight towards Isabel on the high platform.
"How long do you think you can sit in this position?
Even if Victor doesn't take over the throne, the destiny that will appear in the future will be enough to make your position extremely embarrassing!
What qualifications do you have to be so superior to me here! "
When he came to Isabel, a moment of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand and was about to slap her.
Dan on one side saw that something was not going well and was immediately ready to step forward and stop him.
But the next moment.
"boom!!!"
A raging wind surged out from Isabel's body and hit Fast's body. He flew away more than ten meters in an instant, hit the ground heavily, and then slid for several meters on the smooth marble floor. Far.
Fast felt that all his internal organs were displaced due to the impact. He coughed out a mouthful of blood, staining his rather luxurious dress red.
Then, he clutched his chest and looked at Isabel sitting on the throne in confusion.
Isabel was also looking at him, but her eyes were full of disgust.
"It's such an immature thing."
For some reason, Isabel suddenly felt tired at this moment.
This feeling of exhaustion originated from the day her mother died. After her father passed away, this feeling of exhaustion became more intense.
All the intrigues, power calculations, and all kinds of fearful emotions are aggravating this feeling of exhaustion.
She suddenly remembered the time not long ago in the coniferous forest of the Alps, sitting around the stove, making tea and chatting together.
It was the most relaxing moment of her life.
The stronger this feeling of fatigue becomes, the more intense the contrast with those days in the castle becomes.
Speaking of which, she has been out for a long time
However, he must first do what she should do for Arthur.
She looked at Fast and said coldly.
"Give you twenty minutes, use flying pigeons to notify the Imperial Army and cut off the Maria Mountains.
Otherwise, I can execute you for treason at any time! "
Isabel's eyes were filled with murderous intent, making Fast feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
However, at this moment, many people walked in outside the gate, including some nobles who were still in the imperial capital, Hagus, the director of the Imperial Capital Secret Service, and the clan elder of the royal family.
and her sister, Eugenia Brittania.
"Isabelle!"
Seeing that Isabel was really back, Eugenia stepped forward happily.
"Where have you been these past few years?"
This comes from the bottom of her heart. Although she also has certain ambitions, her abilities do not match her ambitions.
She couldn't face Victor. Compared with letting such an outsider who she didn't like at all seize the throne, she was naturally happy to see Isabel come back.
But soon, she noticed Fast lying on the ground with blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.
There was a gleam in her eyes, and she quickly figured out what had happened, and she sarcastically said to Fast.
"Looks like you, the stupid dog that wag its tail at everyone, has fallen out of favor."
Isabel ignored Eugenia and looked at Hagus.
"How many secret agents are there in the imperial capital?"
"More than a thousand people are maintaining order," Hagus said.
"Let them tell the people of the imperial capital."
Isabel spoke slowly.
"Destiny has appeared, and the sword in the stone has its own master.
Let them not panic.
In the imperial capital, there will be no such thing. "
Isabel's words were obviously even more shocking than her return. Almost everyone present opened their eyes slightly, and the relatively calm Elder Zong also frowned.
"What?" Hagus was a little surprised, "The sword in the stone was pulled out. When?"
"There should be news soon."
Isabel looked deeply at the door of the chamber. About a few minutes later, Hayden, a member of the Presbyterian Church who had just witnessed Arthur pulling out the sword in the stone, hurriedly opened the door and walked in.
He glanced at everyone present and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
"My lords, the sword in the stone has been pulled out!"
"Who is it?" Elder Zong asked.
"A teenage boy." Hayden said excitedly. "After pulling out his sword, he rode a huge lion and ran directly to the north. He should have lost the frontline battlefield."
"Do you know him?" Elder Zong asked, "Are you from the royal family or the nobles?"
Hayden recalled, "I don't know him. At least in the imperial capital, I have never seen him."
Elder Zong and the other old nobles all frowned.
But then, they heard Isabel say.
"That child's name is Yair zu Britannia."
Upon hearing this surname, all the emperors present slightly contracted their pupils and looked at her in astonishment.
"He is the youngest son of Moria Britannia and Queen Anya, and also my biological brother.
As the legitimate son, he is the most orthodox heir to Britannia.
It is also the destiny chosen by God! "
"This is impossible!" Eugenia couldn't help but said, "When will mother..."
At this point, Eugenia suddenly froze on the spot, because she also thought of the stillborn child before her mother died.
"That child is actually alive." Eugenia mumbled absentmindedly.
Elder Zong seemed to have remembered something, and his frown slightly relaxed.
For him, it doesn't matter who sits on the throne. What matters is that Britannia belongs to the royal family.
"Now, he has gone to the front line and decided to defend the imperial capital to the death."
Isabel's words continued.
"Hagus."
"Yes." Hagus lowered his head and said.
"Send someone to convey my order and mobilize all available troops in nearby towns, including militia regiments and secret police, to the Romir Plains."
Isabel's eyes sparkled.
"To witness the birth of the new emperor."
