I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 379 Powerful Witness

Dragon Backbone Empire, Dragon Head Fort.

A carriage with thick outer walls and engraved royal emblems stopped beside the avenue leading to the square in front of the palace.

The honor guard who greeted them immediately stepped forward and opened the door of the carriage. Zhenna slowly stepped out of the carriage and looked at the direction of the square.

The people of Longshoubao gathered on both sides of the avenue and in the square. Two rows of honor guards formed two parallel embankments to separate the crowded people.

Between the two honor guards, a straight avenue leads directly to the open square in front of the palace.

"Let's go, Your Highness. Everything is ready." Bishop Marcel stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

After about a month of running around, Bishop Marcel united with some nobles and bishops to build momentum to welcome Zhenna back to Longshou Castle.

A duke with regency took the lead and led the army to quickly enter the Dragon Head Castle, which was in chaos due to the death of Queen Fred, took control of the capital, and then announced the death of the queen.

Also announced at the same time were Queen Fred's charges of believing in the abyss and offering sacrifices to the devil, murdering the former emperor, and the attempted murder of the former princess Zhenna.

Some of the ministers and officers appointed by Queen Fred were also arrested on a list of crimes. Some fled and some committed suicide.

The Duke Regent soon announced that after discussions with several nobles, he would officially welcome Princess Jeena back to inherit the throne.

They also told the story of Zhenna being helped by a red dragon when she was being hunted.

The story is so bizarre that it doesn't even sound like a decent excuse.

But within Dragon Head Castle, this story was accepted by many people, because that night, many people witnessed the red dragon killing Prince Lucio and Queen Fred.

There are indeed many incredible details, such as Her Majesty the Queen who transformed into a demon, the red dragon and Princess Zhenna fighting side by side, and a six-winged angel helping them. In the end, the red dragon killed the queen and the commander-in-chief of the empire. He left directly without massacring the capital or looting anywhere, and soon mysteriously disappeared from the palace.

Rumors spread all over the place for a while, and some people said that behind Princess Zhenna's intention was to interfere with the Papal State of the Empire, and that the red dragon was tamed by Paradise Mountain, because some soldiers saw with their own eyes that the red dragon was covered with holy hair. Light, on the battlefields of Junction and Late Summer, defeated the empire's armies;

Others suspected that all this was a conspiracy by the red dragon. Princess Zhenna was not helped, but controlled. After a long period of planning, all the arrangements of the red dragon finally succeeded, and he killed the leader of the empire. , achieving the purpose of supporting puppets to dominate this country.

Generally speaking, the trend of the rumors is not very favorable for Zhenna to gain support. Compared with the statement that she herself is dominated, the official statement that a red dragon and she support each other seems like a fairy tale that is divorced from reality - although Indeed the latter is closer to the truth.

Zhenna signed a letter to Longshou Fort claiming her inheritance rights. After this matter was announced from the capital, according to the procedure, lords from various places would send envoys to deliver letters to express their allegiance to the new emperor.

However, a full half month has passed since this incident, and about 40% of the lords still have not expressed their attitude, including the Grand Duke of Xihe Principality. They neither have the courage to rashly oppose nor recognize the new emperor.

In terms of support rate alone, Zhenna's support was even lower than before Fred completely suppressed the civil war.

But at the same time, no one dared to oppose her.

Those careerists who looked down on others had basically been dealt with during Fred's reign, so naturally no one dared to speak against Zhenna immediately.

After all, Zhenna, or the existence behind her, can even get rid of Queen Fred and the King of Knights beside her.

Zhenna walked through the avenue surrounded by guards and bishops, and passed through the arches under the covered bridge. The people along the way were silent, there were no cheers, and there were no flowers. The eyes of everyone looking at Zhenna did not show reverence, but basically fear and fear. Uneasy, some people have a hint of disdain, but they don't dare to show it too obviously.

Zhenna didn't look away, she just held her chest up, raised her head, and strode forward.

The reaction of the people was basically expected. For a person who is not so obsessed with the throne, it is uncomfortable to face this kind of gaze. However, this matter is necessary for Ganouen, so she Will do it as well as possible. Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhen Na. Few people noticed that there was actually a prisoner with a black cloth covering his head. He was tied up and escorted down. Under the supervision of the guards, he followed Zhen Na at a distance. Behind Na and the guards.

Zhenna came to the city gate on the outer wall of the palace. Some distance away, the city gate had been slowly lowered. Celebration bells rang on the wall. The soldiers who had rehearsed raised their arms and cheered. The attendants guarding the top held flower baskets and placed them. The petals fell and the choir began to sing hymns to the square.

But the atmosphere in the square did not rise accordingly. It seemed like two worlds were separated by the city gate. Celebrations began on the side of the palace, but the crowd in the square remained deserted.

Zhenna was not bothered by this atmosphere. She entered the palace and was greeted by the palace guards who were half-kneeling. She walked up the steps of the city wall to the top of the wall and walked to a stand protruding from the wall for speeches. above, overlooking the crowd in the square.

Then, she spoke in a solemn tone: "I am Jeanne, the daughter of the empire's previous emperor, Tyrant II, and I am here to accuse the deceased Queen Fred of her crimes..."

From here on, Zhenna recounted her series of encounters from being hunted down by Fred and meeting Ganon in the form of a speech to the people of Dragon Head Castle.

After recounting their last battle in the palace, Zhenna paused for a long time, and then said: "What I said should be difficult for others to believe. Perhaps, some people think that this is just the words of the winner's family. But fortunately, I have a way to prove it, and I brought the most important witness!"

As soon as Zhenna finished speaking, Bishop Marcel nodded to the soldiers behind him, and the prisoner whose head was covered with black cloth was forcibly pushed to the stand where the speech was taking place, and stood next to Zhenna.

"As promised, you will let me go..." A rumbling voice came from under the black cloth, whispering to Zhenna.

"Don't say unnecessary words." Zhenna just had a cold face and moved her lips slightly.

Then, Bishop Marcel stepped forward with a straight face and lifted up the black cloth.

The face of Fred's personal secretary Isis was revealed in front of everyone.

There was a slight commotion among the crowd in the square. Some people were whispering and showing disdain unnoticeably.

So what if the female officer next to Fred said something to "confirm" the crime that Zhenna said Fred had committed? Her tied posture all showed her position of being controlled by others.

What comes out of the mouths of the conquered are still just the words of the victor being paraphrased.

However, after looking around at the people of the empire, Isis sighed helplessly, then suddenly opened her eyes and transformed into a demonic form on the spot.

The corners of her mouth were cracked and extended to her ears, revealing a mouth full of fangs. The pupils of her eyes became slender, both eyes exuded a chill that was difficult to look into, and her coquettish face suddenly became strange and abnormal.

Her long hair transformed into a group of dancing snakes, and a pair of devil wings broke through the prison uniform and stretched out.

After the transformation, she had the ability to fly and escape. Unfortunately, under the restrictions of the Prisoner Contract of the Endless Tower, she could only complete the order given to her by the Red Dragon - to accuse Fred of his crimes as a witness.

"She is a devil! She is a devil!"

There was a small chaos in the crowd in the square. Some timid people turned around and pushed in the direction away from the palace, almost causing a stampede. Fortunately, Bishop Marcel was well prepared when he arranged the welcoming ceremony. The honor guard maintained order in time.

At this time, Zhenna suddenly raised her hand and summoned a ray of holy light to cover Isis. Isis screamed and there were burning marks on her body surface.

"Quiet! People of the empire, don't panic. The tyrant Fred has been executed, and the demon she summoned has become a prisoner. No one can harm you here!" Zhenna declared loudly.

"Is it necessary to go to this extent?" Isis almost fell down, squeezing out a voice from deep in her throat. The damage of this holy light to her was not strong, but the pain was extremely obvious.

But she could actually see that with her "execution", the atmosphere in the square changed obviously.
