Father Mavie

Chapter 353 Heart Like a Stone (Please Subscribe!!!)
In late May, Moscow.

Thunder was rolling in the sky, and thick dark clouds flew from the north, covering the Mosk region.

Amidst the sound of the whistle, a train coming from Petersburg stopped at Moscow Central Station. The door opened, and a free-hiking orange cat rushed into the platform. The speed was like lightning, and it disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

ten minutes later.
Ma Wei, who was teaching the monks, saw Fat Ju, who had rushed back from Petersburg overnight.

At the critical moment, Fat Orange returned in person. Something must have happened. Ma Wei stopped the lecture and took it to a quiet room.

"The Noble Faction and the Liberty Society are on the line."

Fat Ju squatted in front of the fireplace, close to the warm heat source, with a hint of dignity in his voice: "The nobles seem to want to escape to the United States of America, and now Finn Drost is hiding under the name of Duke Ivanovic." It's in the farm, I know the exact address."

About Finn Drost, Mavi has already obtained the answer through the real pocket watch, which is completely consistent with the information provided by Fat Orange, so Mavi is not surprised.

"If it's just Finn Drost, I'm afraid I can't let you return to Moscow from Petersburg." Ma Wei understood Fat Orange's temper very well: "Tell me, what else is there besides the Freedom Association?"

"."

Fat Orange hesitated for a while, and swept his tail back and forth in front of the fireplace, feeling uneasy: "Paul I is dead."

"what?"

Ma Wei never thought that Fat Orange would bring the news of Paul I's death. He couldn't believe it: "Archbishop Henry killed the king?"

"No, Paul I committed suicide, probably." Fat Orange said, "He wrote an edict, hung it around Ke Lulu's neck and sent it out of the Winter Palace. When I realized the situation was wrong and went to check it, I was in his bedroom There was a puddle of blood that hadn't been treated in time."

"I searched the entire Winter Palace, and finally found his body in the ice pile in the basement. He was shot in the side of the head. Judging from the location of the shot, it may have been suicide."

"."

"And his corpse is very strange. He obviously has no breath of life, but his eyes are open, like a living dead. The God of Wisdom must have tampered with it."

"Etc., etc"

The impact was too great, and Ma Wei needed to take a break. He rubbed his swollen head and followed the information given by Fat Orange: "Paul I committed suicide? Why did he commit suicide? What is the content of the edict?"

No matter how you look at it, Archbishop Henry has no reason to have to kill Paul I, so Mavey believes that Paul I committed suicide, but the question is why Paul I committed suicide...and what the Wisdom God did to him.

"But what Lulu brought out was an edict of abdication." Fat Ju's expression was serious, not at all joking: "Paul I passed the throne to his sister, Katerina."

Mavi didn't know what to say.

He believes that the information provided by Fat Orange is correct. If the information is wrong, Fat Orange will never use such a firm tone. It has always been very reliable, much more reliable than Xiao Hei. The reason for going to Petersburg to develop power.

And Ke Lulu, who brought the edict, was a spy who had been ambushing Paul I a few months ago. It monitored Paul I's every move, daily life, and even what Paul I ate at noon and squatted in the toilet for a few minutes. all know.

But Lulu said that the edict was written by Paul I himself, so there is nothing wrong with that.

Even so
The news that Paul I passed the throne to Katerina still shocked Mavi.

In order to compete for the throne, the siblings have been fighting each other for a long time. Although Paul I and Katerina did not use assassination methods to kill each other, they are at odds with each other.
The whole Romanov kingdom knew about it.

What was the situation that made Paul I make up his mind to pass the throne to Katerina?
For the dignity of the royal family?
maybe.
Marvie could find no other explanation.

"In order to test the aristocratic faction, I handed over the edict to Duke Ivanovic, and Finn Drost wants him to make the edict public." Fat Orange licked his lips, paused, and asked: "This Do you want to tell Katerina?"

"You can't hide it. Katerina will know that her younger brother committed suicide sooner or later." Ma Wei took a deep breath and decided to go to the Kremlin: "Besides, she has the right to know, Paul I. is her last relative. , let's go."

Picking up the fat orange, Ma Wei asked Levin to take his place temporarily, and continued to teach the believers. With the fat orange, he entered the palace group next door unimpeded.

In the afternoon, Katerina was still dealing with government affairs. After being notified by Marusa, she received Ma Wei and Fat Ju.

"Father, I'm very busy. If you have anything to say, just talk about it."

Katerina was sitting among a pile of book pages, reading the content on the paper, and signing the items she agreed to. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink tea.

"Your Highness, I just received the news that your younger brother, His Majesty King Paul I, shot himself in the Winter Palace." Ma Wei spoke quickly without any pause: "Before he committed suicide, he drafted an abdication edict. , and pass the throne to you."

The fluttering quill froze for a moment, and the ink soaked the paper. After a slight pause, Katerina finished signing her name.

She put the document aside, picked up a new document, said 'hmm', and asked without raising her head, "Is the news true?"

"There should be nothing wrong."

"It should be, so it's not sure?"

"Your Highness, what I said should mean that Paul I's suicide has yet to be confirmed, but his death is correct. Fat Ju has already seen the body of your brother in the basement of the Winter Palace."

"Where is the edict of abdication?"

"...in the hands of Prince Ivanovich, the fat orange was not brought back."

"There is no edict, no corpse, and no news of the king's death coming out to the priest. Don't tell me such uncertain news in the future." Katerina still didn't look up, she was already staring at the document in front of her After reading it for a long time, it is completely inconsistent with Ma Wei's reading speed of a few seconds when he first entered the door.

She signed the document anyway.

"Your Highness, the edict of abdication was brought out by Ke Lulu, you...ah."

Shaking his head, Ma Wei stopped talking and left the study with Fat Ju in his arms. As the door closed, Katerina's quill gradually stopped.

She sat without saying a word, silent, and after an unknown period of time, she suddenly pushed all the documents to the ground violently.

Hearing the noise coming from the room, Marusa was about to open the door to check in when Ma Wei stopped her: "Let her be alone."

There was a sound of smashing in the room, and several guards who heard the sound gathered over, looking at Mavi and Marusa at the door with blank expressions.

After more than ten minutes, the voice in the room gradually subsided, and after a while
click.

The door was opened from the inside, and Katerina walked out with red eyes, and glanced at the people standing in the corridor, her hoarse voice was mixed with creepy anger: "Call Onufri, Makarov, Ruo Lu Jin and the others came to see me!"

"Yes Yes!"

The guard had never seen Katerina like this before, and almost ran away as if running away.

"Father."

".Yes, Your Highness."

"How sure are you?"

"I'm afraid this is not a good time to attack the capital. Your Highness." Ma Wei persuaded, "You should wait until the king's abdication edict is issued, and enter the capital in a legitimate manner."

"Didn't the aristocracy have already received the edict of the king's abdication?" Katerina's face was as cold as a piece of ice: "Those murderers who killed my brother. I will make them pay for their lives!"

"Your Highness, you are on the verge of losing control."

"I'm calm, Father."

Katerina glanced at Ma Wei: "But I must be angry now, this is politics, and now is the best chance to overthrow the Wisdom God"

Clenching her hands tightly, Katerina said word by word: "I want to use Paul's death to arouse the anger of the people. Only in this way can we take control of the Romanov Kingdom as quickly as possible!"

Ma Wei frowned: "Aren't you sad? Paul I is your last relative."

"I'm sad, my heart hurts like it's going to burst."

Katerina looked at the dark clouds outside the window and said in a cold voice, "But I must hide my emotions. Romanov doesn't need an emotional king. I must be as hard as a stone and use everything I can."

"It is often said that a woman's heart is the most vicious, a thousand times more vicious than a man's. This is very good."

"I want people who say this to understand that women are more terrifying than they imagined!"
