The New Civilization of Witches

Chapter 51 Her Majesty The Queen

The Queen of Sunlight enters through a narrow window into the room and is reflected as dark red stripes on the wall.

There are only a few places within the Kingdom where you can still see the sun, and the Clear Water Port is one of them. In this place,

The Demon Moon, with its cold wind and strong snowfall, had only a slight influence.

With the exception that the Blacksail Fleet was unable to leave the port, the entire city was still as busy as ever.

The city governor and port chief Garcia Wimbledon were sitting at his square table under the window, seriously studying the contents of the letter.

His gray hair was caught in the sunset and had a golden touch.

His face produced a shadow of light, adding definition to his facial features and, giving him a unique charm filled with heroic spirit.

Ryan had been standing by her side for quite a while. Although he had already exceeded his usual time to read the letter all this time, he still chose to wait quietly a little longer –

he did not want to disturb the silence. Finally, Garcia sighed softly, put down the letter, and then told her,

"My father is dead." Hearing this, Ryan was shocked, and he had to ask, saying,

"What?"

"My father, Ali Wimbledon, King of Graycastle."

He rarely repeated what he said, he thought, because when he usually asked again, he would just stare at her as if he had said nothing.

However, he really wasn't kidding, was he? The king is really dead?

“…”

Ryan opened his mouth, trying to say a few comforting words, but in the end he just asked,

“How did he die?”

Fortunately, she did not care about this – she was the daughter of the King, the Governor of the Port of Clear Water, and the Commander of the Blacksail Fleet, she did not need anyone to comfort her, she did not need anyone to comfort her,

“The letter says that my brother Gerald killed my father, but he was captured by the guards.

He did not commit suicide to avoid punishment, so in the end he was tried by several ministers, there he was sentenced to death by decapitation.”

"That doesn't sound right" Ryan couldn't believe it.

“Of course it's not true,” Garcia said, expressionless, without,

“It's true that my first brother was a relatively stupid man, but he wasn't so stupid as to go on a suicide mission.

If no one had guided him in that direction, he would never have done such a thing.”

"Someone set him up?" ask Ryan.

“Let me guess ..” The 3rd Princess closed her eyes and thought for a moment before she replied,

“Someone might set up this detailed plan, and tease Gerald by saying that they will help him

taking people to my father's yard.

This should have been arranged by someone before, including the eradication, exchange and bribery of the guards.

But it wasn't an area where Gerald had his advantage, because he was too lazy to set up something like this.

The rest will be simple, it is only important to get someone who has Gerald's trust, but in the end it will still betray him.”

Ryan could not add anything. After all, this is just a guess. What really happens is not important, only the result is important.

He believed that this was also the thought of the 3rd Princess. Sure enough, Garcia opened his eyes and continued,

“I am 90% sure that it is not the First Prince, he is a person who only knows violence.

His brain was one of the big muscles so it was common for him to be fooled. Just ... "

when he said this, his voice had courage,

" my second brother will be this cruel. “

"You mean Timothy Wimbledon is the real culprit?"

“Besides him, who else knows so much about Gerald?

Also after this problem, he is the person with the biggest advantage. ” while speaking, Garcia involuntarily tapped his finger on the table, saying,

“Even the blind can see this! But he is dad's favorite, so he really doesn't have to do this!”

Your Majesty is really angry, Ryan realized.

Seeing the Princess heating up like this was truly rare. It seemed that even though he had complained that his father was too eccentric, in the end he still did not want to see his father dying like this.

Ryan could understand this feeling, more or less. In a large family, the younger generation will always have such feelings towards the host of a mountain that they must pass through, both adoring and hating it.

If he was right and this was really planned by the second prince, then his actions could indeed be considered bloody and cruel.

"But he ... Why is he doing this?"

"Because she's afraid of me," Garcia took a deep breath, trying to control her emotions, she said,

"he's afraid of my Blacksail Fleet."

“Timothy seems to have spies in our city, which in itself is not surprising, I myself have also set eyes and ears in Valencia.

When he learned of the whereabouts of my Blacksail Fleet, he became easy to imagine what I would do later.

Valencia cannot support an army capable of confronting my fleet. So, he came to the conclusion to use Gerald as bait to get what he wanted.”

"So you mean, he wants an army?"

“He wants the throne,” Garcia said,

“With the death of my father and now even the death of Gerald, he became the first heir.

I fear he will pressure the ministers to crown him as soon as possible. Only when he became Wimbledon IV would he be able to mobilize all his followers with their troops.

"When he said this, he shook his head,

"However, as I have said, as father's beloved son, he really doesn't need to do this!"

“Isn't it worse?” ask Ryan, worry,

“If your 2nd brother is crowned, won't he declare the battle for the throne over and call you and your brothers back?

What are you going to do next?"

Garcia replied as if he felt it was completely under his dignity,

“This move will be too easy, just because he is our father's favorite son, he said,

not that he will have the support of the ministers, especially because of his move.to kill the former king –

even though he encouraged the killing on Gerald and could possibly deceive civilians, I predict that it will take a long time until he can hold full authority in Graycastle. So ... "

he looked at Ryan slyly and said,

" I have to change my plan a little bit. “

Ryan immediately knelt down and said,

“I'm willing to serve.”

Garcia stood up, walked to the window and spoke to Ryan with his back,

“The first thing he should do after he claims the throne is deal with me. However, the only possibility to suppress me was to order Joe Kohl, the Duke of the Southern Territories.

I predict that the latter will use the king's mourning period to delay the dispatch of his army the old fox was always reluctant to do business where he would lose.

At most he would call his comrades and send them out to surround the Clear Water Port. “

Garcia paused for a moment and then spoke further,

“However, this step will give us unnecessary trouble, so we will sail tomorrow. “

"sail?

Your Majesty, don't tell me you want to ..."

“Eagle City is located more inland and is hardly maintained.

We can reach the City of Clear Springs by using the Sanwan tributary, from there we only need one day to arrive at Eagle City.

Once we seize Eagle City, the entire Southern region will be under my control. The situation after Timothy claimed the throne would be different from what he thought.

When Timothy wanted to know Duke's progress but found that the entire South was under my control, I really wanted to see his face.”

“But, you also said that Wimbledon III has just died, and after this—“

"What, do I have to shed a tear first?"

Garcia turned around, the sunset light illuminated her body and covered her with a red veil.

His face was hidden in the darkness, only his eyes were reflected by the light. The emotions shown in his eyes were as solid as a rock, Ryan thought.

Even if he was angry or felt regretful, he would never show sorrow. Showing sorrow would not be suitable for a King or Queen.

"No, you don't have to do that" Ryan said seriously.

Garcia nodded in satisfaction,

“Go and tell the Captain that I want to talk to him. Because Timothy will not wait until the end of five years, I will not let him down.

After I conquer Eagle City, I will declare the independence of the Southern Region.”

All this is not important to himself, he thought, Garcia will always find a solution to every possibility.

Once he decided on a path for himself, he would walk on that path boldly.

This is where her charm is put and is one of the reasons why she follows it.

"Yes, Your Majesty .. no," Ryan corrected himself, saying,

"Your Majesty."
