Chapter 887

Bishop winster bowed slightly and saluted respectfully.

His movements are standard and elegant, and have been maintained for a long time.

The Queen's pardon was long overdue, and the head of the bishop of winster had not been raised for a long time.

It was only after a long silence that Maria II sighed

"Your eminence... Pardon me."

The voice, old and majestic, seemed to have lost the tenderness of calling bishop winster.

Bishop winster made a slight movement.

He slowly got up, some hide mountain, some complex eyes again turned to the late queen, but found that the other side no longer looked at him, but continued to look out of the window.

Maria II is half in bed.

The golden sun fell on her, and the long and slanting shadow of the queen fell on the soft and beautiful fairy carpet on the ground, making her thin figure even smaller.

It is hard to imagine that such a weak and thin body carried the whole huge holy maniyah empire.

Gusts of breeze from the window, will be some of Maria II's messy hair blowing more messy.

Her eyes stopped outside the window in the garden of that solitary tall and lush Aesculus, looking at the lush branches and leaves, looking at the tree tops happily jumping birds, slightly dazed.

Bishop winster recognized that it was a tree planted with the queen when she was young.

At that time, it was only a delicate sapling, but now, it has a strong and huge shade.

However, the girl who used to cackle and run around the growing saplings always sticks behind the girl like a follower. The weeping little devil is never seen again.

"Monseigneur, I want to go to the palace tower. Can you accompany me?"

After a long time, Maria II's voice came again.

Her voice was hoarse and dignified.

However, under his majesty, bishop winster seemed to hear a cry full of loneliness.

This made his ready refusal of "Your Majesty is weak and needs to rest rather than to walk" blocked in his throat, unable to speak.

With a sigh, bishop winster turned slowly and looked out the door, intending to call the maid in, but was soon stopped by the queen

"You don't have to call someone else. You and I can do it. You hold me and help me down..."

Once again, bishop winster gave a light meal.

He hesitated for a moment, but met Maria II's firm eyes with a sigh at the bottom of his heart.

Holding out his hand respectfully, bishop winster raised Maria II in the most standard way when the clergy helped the old queen during the ceremony.

The Queen's body was smaller than she had imagined, and her arms were as dry as a twig.

Bishop winster helped her, but she didn't feel much weight.

"Your majesty! Why are you up? "

The maid and bodyguards were startled to see the queen, who was supported by winster, appear at the entrance of the hall.

They wanted to help Maria II, but she shook her head to stop them

"No, I feel I have some strength now. I'm going to the tower to have a look..."

"Your Majesty..."

Looking at Maria II's trembling appearance, the maid and the guards looked worried.

However, in the face of the Queen's majestic and unquestionable eyes, they could only bow their heads, fall respectfully behind them, and follow them to the tower in the palace.

The tower of the palace is the tallest building in the whole palace, where you can overlook the beautiful view of the whole city of maniyah.

Maria II has always enjoyed climbing the tower and overlooking the capital.

It's just that she hasn't been there since she was seriously ill two years ago

Winster helped the old queen to the tower.

They walked for 20 minutes intermittently, the most they could walk on weekdays was five minutes.

When she began to climb the tower, Maria II's weak body was also very tired. Every few steps she took, she had to pant and rest for a long time

"Your Majesty... Or... Shall we go back?"

Looking at the Queen's suffering, bishop winster couldn't help saying.

Instead of answering, Maria II shook her head firmly.

Her withered arm, one clutching the handrail, held on to bishop winster's shoulder.

That some trembling body, is unprecedented resolute.

With a sigh, bishop winster quietly turned the power of faith into a blessing and sent it into Maria II's body.

Maria II gave a light meal.

The next moment, her movement seems to be a lot easier.

I don't know how long later, they finally ascended the tower, the highest point of the imperial palace.

Struggling to get out of the help of the bishop of winster, and refusing the maid's help again, Maria II gasped for breath and reached the viewing platform of the tower.

Standing on the stage, her eyes look out of the tower, to this beautiful city with the reputation of "imperial light".

Here, you can have a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery of the whole city of maniyah, whether it is the tall landmark of dorolia Castle prison in the outer city, or the sacred and solemn eternal Cathedral in the inner city.

Here, you can see the crisscross streets in the city, the rows of elegant buildings, and the sparse pedestrians on the streets

Maria II's eyes swept the spire of the eternal Cathedral, the imperial flag flying on the holy square, the gloomy and solemn dorolia castle at the end of the main road, and finally stayed in the red cloud like a flame in the sky

The dusk was dim, the sun was still shining, and at the end of the sky, the setting sun was just round.

It's radiant, it's dazzling, it's dreamy, it's not real.

Church bells are ringing, and groups of pigeons are flying from the square around the tower in the city.

The setting sun casts golden light on the earth, and the whole city of maniyah is covered with cicada like golden gauze. Even the earth is covered with mysterious color.

Looking at the magnificent scenery under the setting sun, the Queen's eyes were a little confused.

She gently stretched out her hand and leaned out into the air. It seemed that she wanted to catch something, but in the end, she slowly withdrew

"It's dusk..."

Maria II sighed softly.

"Yes, your majesty, it's dusk."

Bishop winster gave a long sigh.

Maria II nodded her head slightly, looked far away, and finally stopped on the gray castle of the noble parliament building next to the holy square.

Her eyes suddenly became a little dim.

"Is the Grand Council... Not over yet?"

She asked.

"Not yet, my Lord."

Replied bishop winster.

After listening to him, the old queen seemed to think of something. She laughed and shook her head slowly

"Are you arguing about who will take over the throne? These moths have everything in mind, but there is no holy maniyah empire... "

Bishop winster was silent and did not answer the question of Maria II.

And after Maria II said a few words, he didn't respond and seemed to lose interest.

She watched the setting sun quietly and said nothing.

Gradually, the setting sun gradually converged and became gentle.

It walks like a man, slowly approaching the distant mountain.

The brilliance is no longer dazzling, just a red ball, like a round of soft magic lamp.

"Monseigneur, can I ask you something?"

Suddenly the queen spoke again.

"Please, your majesty."

Bishop winster said respectfully.

Maria II slowly turned back and looked at him.

There was a trace of silence in her muddy emerald eyes

"Politics is cruel, but little Theresa is innocent."

"I never trained her as an heir. She should have been a carefree girl..."

As she said this, Maria fell in love with bishop winster with a little prayer in her eyes

"Your eminence, if one day Theresa is in trouble, can you help her in my friendship?"

Bishop winster sighed at Maria II's words.

He knows.

Maria II's successor should not have been Princess Theresa.

Her successor should have been the only son of the legendary swordsman, Duke Xilin.

He was an excellent man and a qualified heir to the throne.

Unfortunately, in a rebellion a few years ago, the Archduke died in a duel with the rebel leader, leaving only his young daughter, Theresa

"Your Majesty, I'm the cardinal of the Empire and one of the candidates of the church. Naturally, I will support Princess Theresa when she is in trouble."

Replied bishop winster.

However, after listening to his response, Maria II did not seem too satisfied.

She lowered her eyelids slowly, and her voice was a little lonely

"Just... The bishop?"

Bishop winster was silent.

A moment later, he opened his mouth to answer, but was stopped by the queen.

"Well, that's it..."

"Winstrin, you... Step back. I want to see the scenery here by myself... I want to be quiet for a while..."

Said Maria II.

Her voice, no longer a trace of vulnerability, but completely restored the dignity of the past.

Dignified and alienated, alienated and lonely.

Bishop winster opened his mouth, looked at the Queen's back, and a trace of apology flashed through his eyes.

After hesitating for a long time, he saluted the queen deeply

"Yes, sun of the Empire, your Majesty the great queen..."

Then, he left slowly.

However, at the top of the stairs of the tower, bishop winster could not help stopping.

He looked back at the queen who was getting smaller and smaller in the setting sun and sighed:

"Theresa... Is my granddaughter after all. No matter when it comes, I will protect her life..."

"As long as I have a breath, I will keep her safe."

Maria II's back trembled slightly at the words of bishop winster.

She clenched the railing with her fingers, then slowly released it.

The bishop of winster stopped.

He turned and resolutely left the tower.

……

The Imperial Palace at dusk seems more lonely.

I don't know if it's time for dinner, even the figures of maids and bodyguards seem to be less.

Bishop winster walked alone on the main road of the palace and walked out of the palace. His shadow was long and long in the sunset. Behind him, the magnificent palace had slowly sunk into the darkness.

Suddenly, the piercing bell came from a distance, and bishop winster made a slight movement.

The bell came not from the direction of the church, but from the Imperial Palace behind him.

The bell in the palace will ring only when something big happens in the Empire.

The last time it sounded was a few years ago when the news of the death of Duke Xilin came to the capital.

The bell is dull and heavy, deafening, full of twelve, in the open sunset in the sky, waves of echo... For a long time, there is no calm.

Hearing the bell, bishop winster couldn't help looking back at the tower.

There was a trace of gloom, a trace of sadness, and a trace of loss in the depths of his eyes.

Twelve bells, in the history of the Empire, represent only one thing.

That is the emperor of the Empire, returning to the kingdom of the true God

A glimmer of light flashed in the depth of bishop winster's eyes.

He wiped the corner of his eyes and walked out of the palace without hesitation.

At this moment, bishop winster knew that with the sound of the palace bell, the era of the past had come to an end

……

On June 17, 1073, Maria von tres II, the most powerful empire in SEGS, died in the Imperial Palace tower at the age of 84.

Three days later, the great nobles of the empire finally overcame the opposition of the middle and small nobles and gained the leading power of the Parliament and the proposal of the successor to the throne.

At the age of less than 15, Princess Theresa, the granddaughter of Mary II, won the election with five votes and one abstention, and was elected as the new queen of the empire by the nobility and the church.

In order to distinguish another queen also named Theresa in the history of the Empire, the new queen is called Theresa II.

Seven days later, Theresa II was officially crowned in the eternal cathedral.

Because of the Jihad, most of the nobles could not be present. In addition, the National Treasury was empty after years of war. This coronation was also rather shabby. Only the representatives of the nobles in the imperial aristocratic Parliament and the nobles of the royal court took part in it.

But even so, the young girl eventually took over the imperial scepter and put on a heavy crown.

One day after Theresa II succeeded to the throne, the imperial aristocratic Council awarded the new emperor's title in the name of the queen www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
