in the name of the queen

Chapter 92 The Queen’s Decision

"You said my father was killed by the Vladimir Empire?"

Sif's eyes were red, her body was shaking slightly, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Roland remained silent and did not comfort her.

I cannot empathize with the pain of losing my father, so I can only deal with it on my own.

Sif's tears slowly rolled down her cheeks, but she never cried.

My father is an emperor and is usually very busy.

When I was a child, I could often see my father, but when I grew up, I rarely saw my father.

After the age of fourteen, she lived in her own palace and could not see her father more than a few times a year.

Until her father and brother were killed at the same time, she was pushed to the front desk again.

Edward may be a qualified emperor, but he is by no means a competent father.

Sif's feelings for him were not deep.

But he is her father after all.

The fleet crashed and her father disappeared, but she still held on to a trace of luck.

What if my father is kidnapped or disappears unexpectedly?

Hope is now gone.

Since it was a premeditated trap, the possibility of his father surviving was non-existent.

Clearly, someone needs her on stage.

Sif's brain was working rapidly, and she quickly thought of a terrifying possibility.

If Sophia wants to break through to the sixth level, she must either be crowned the title of emperor as a woman and become the first recognized female emperor in history, or she needs the same seventh level and is also a stepping stone for the queen.

She is probably trying to do both, trying to become the Great Emperor while also cultivating stepping stones.

Previously, the queens of other countries were not extraordinary and could not serve as stepping stones, but they could potentially compete with Sophia for the title of female emperor, so Sophia forced them to abdicate.

Sylph is different. She is a transcendent and can also take the authoritative route.

She has the potential to be a stepping stone.

Sophia did not hesitate to risk completely offending Sussex in order to kill the old emperor and the crown prince so that Sylph could successfully succeed to the throne.

The foundation of Sylph's succession is unstable. If she wants to regain power, she will have to do her best. Her growth will accelerate under pressure, and the chance of becoming a stepping stone will be higher.

Everything is in Sophia's calculation.

Although she had never met before, Sofia's interlocking calculations and her fighting power that stood on the ceiling before the sixth return day still made Sylph shudder.

The anger and sadness were diluted by reality, and she gradually calmed down.

Roland still said nothing, waiting for her to make a decision.

After an unknown amount of time, Sif said slowly: "Only one of Sophia and I can survive."

Roland looked at Sif in surprise.

This is the only right choice.

Sif made her choice without even relying on his encouragement, which still surprised Roland.

Sif calmed down and told Roland her speculation.

Roland was even more surprised.

He knew Sif was smart, but she always made simple and stupid choices in politics.

However, Sif today is completely different from usual.

Whoever is possessing her, please stay a little longer!
  Roland prayed silently.

Sif not only made logical closed-loop speculations, but also gave reasons for the fight to the end.

"Not only my father and brother were killed in this shipwreck, but also more than 5,000 people. Their deaths have plunged more than 5,000 families into grief."

"If you don't recover the blood debt for them, what qualifications do you have to be an emperor?"

After speaking impassionedly, Sif's courage seemed to be exhausted. She looked at Roland in confusion and murmured, "Am I right to do this?"

"Very correct!"

Roland clapped his hands, appreciating Sif's decision.

He said solemnly: "This is a life-and-death struggle. We cannot retreat. If we give in, the enemy will come harder." "If we give in, they will eat up three overseas provinces and trap us in Sussex. .”

"If we give in, the disappointed Sophia will find a way to find another queen as a stepping stone."

"If the enemy doesn't give us a way to survive, then destroy the enemy!"

Roland said decisively.

Hearing Roland's firm voice, the dazed Sif seemed to have found a light in the darkness.

"You're right, Roland. What should we do next?"

Roland was a little speechless. Where was the courage to fight Sophia to the death?

He could probably guess that Sif was stimulated by the news of her father's death and performed beyond her level.

She can't be expected to be at her peak forever.

But if Sif can shine for a certain moment, it means she has potential.

The future is expected.

As for now, isn't there still a dog-headed strategist like him?

Roland cleared his throat and said calmly: "Do whatever you have to do. And don't let anyone know that we already know the cause of the late emperor's death."

Sif looked at Roland with a confused look and her voice was light.

"Just do whatever you have to do?"

"Yes. Since we don't know the cause of the late emperor's death yet, it's natural for everything to be business as usual."

"I understand." Sif took a deep breath and tried to adjust her emotions.

After a few seconds, all the tears on her cheeks disappeared, and there was even a smile on her lips.

But Roland saw the sadness in her eyes as cold as ice.

She is a good actress, but this is the pain of losing her father after all.

Roland couldn't find anything to comfort him, so he could only fill Sif up with her busy work, leaving her no time to think too much.

"Sif, we still have a lot to do. First, you have to go back to the palace to sign a pardon. This is an internal matter of the Knights, and you have the right to pardon Stanley."

Sif bit her lip and nodded vigorously.

Roland risked her life and reputation and swore that she would not let Roland become a villain who broke his promise.

"Mr. Walder must be informed of this matter."

"But it cannot be expanded."

Sif quickly added: "Besides you, me and Teacher Wald, no fourth person must know about this, including our relatives."

"I know, especially someone like Lisa who can't hide things, so you can't tell her." Roland took the initiative to take over Sif's words.

Seeing that Roland took the initiative to exclude Lisa, Sif felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained:
  "Roland, I'm not targeting her, I just think it's enough for us to carry this heavy secret."

"I see."

Roland smiled and nodded, "Narrowing the scope of knowledge is the basic principle of confidentiality."

"If there's nothing else, let's split up."

Seeing that Roland was about to leave, Sif quickly stopped him, "Wait a minute, Roland. Are we really going to have a mock battle to usurp the throne?"

"Very necessary."

Roland said with a serious expression: "If the magic mirror is foolproof, this simulation will let you understand the basic process of powerful officials seizing power, and you will know how to deal with powerful officials in the future."

"If something unexpected happens to the magic mirror, this simulation will be a real battle."

Sif understood what Roland meant.

The magic mirror is her artifact and is bound by a master-slave contract, so there should be no problems.

But there are always surprises.

If something happens to the magic mirror, she can easily regain her power while she is conducting a usurpation simulation.

Only by preparing for the worst can we achieve the best results.

Just do it.
