Warhammer: Return of the Dragon.

Katerina was a little annoyed. Her beloved father Boris had led the Griffin Legion north to investigate the double-tailed comet not long ago, but disappeared for no reason.

The jesters were still racking their brains to make up lies, saying that the great Tsar was only missing, and what the princess had to do now was to stabilize the country...

Some more pragmatic people have told the princess to be prepared. The Guards are very sensitive to the existence of the tsarina. They can ignore the fact that an incompetent tsarina takes the throne, but they cannot let the Khan Queen's successor easily shine.

Some more obscure suggestions are to have the princess go to Ulthuan with sincerity before her coronation to pay respect to His Majesty the Phoenix King. In this way, the Guards, the Empire, and the Dwarves will not deliberately embarrass the newly crowned Khan Queen.

"But I am a descendant of the Khan's Queen! How can Katerin Boha, the daughter of Red Tsar Boris, bow down to a spirit!"

The princess, who was only ten years old, had already shown the temperament of a queen. She was like the ice and snow of Kislev, cold, proud and stubborn.

The bearded Hetman knelt on one knee during the audience. His family had been loyal to the Tsar for a thousand years and he knew how stubborn these people with the blood of Lidrosan were.

But stubbornness is useless. Kislev is no longer the situation of the Tsar's dictatorship. As long as the Patriotic Army that controls the southern states and Erengrad expresses opposition, Kislev City and Praag will fall into serious shortage of supplies, and people everywhere will suspect that Catherine may repeat the mistakes of the bloody female tsar.

"Princess, this is for Kislev... In the will left by General Raskol before his death, the Guards were told to be vigilant against any son of Boha who could communicate with the land of Kislev."

"Land and people, these are the foundation of Kislev! But he... Raskol, a hero bought by the elves, stubbornly puts the people first!" Catherine's young body seemed to carry the resentment of the Tsarist family for two hundred years. Boha had been controlled by the Patriotic Army for too long. Now that the Orthodox Church has ignited the embers and revived the faith in the Four Righteous Gods, it is time to drive these bumpkins away.

The princess stepped down from the throne and came to Hetman. She stretched out her tender hands but could only press on the tall man's arms: "Nikita, you will help me, right?"

Help? How, Nikita sighed inwardly.

Too many people are wary of the tsarina. The Boha family always wants to downplay the history of the bloody tsarina, but the National Guard always brings it up.

The revival of the Orthodox Church is the result of the cooperation between Boris and Constantine, but this is premised on the Red Tsar correcting the mistakes of the era of the Bloody Tsarine.

If Catherine followed the normal path and stayed in the palace to study magic and learn how to rule, it would only lead to more suspicion.

Nikita raised his head and looked at the princess who was about to become the tsar, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

This country has lost too much in its attempt to keep up with the times.

"Back off, son of Ersun!"

"You can't go in!"

"I come for Kislev!"

A sudden commotion made the two monarchs realize that Constantine had arrived.

Katerin pulled Nikita's elbow and asked him to stand up. Before Constantine entered, she said, "If I can't stay in Kislev, I hope you can represent the Ice Court... to protect this land and its people."

Nikita nodded heavily. What was about to happen was not something a mere Hetman like him could interfere with.

He walked quickly to the side door of the palace and called on the Griffin Corps to assemble. The Patriotic Army would not fight the princess, and the Orthodox Church would not fight the princess, but if the Patriotic Army met the Orthodox Church, it would most likely cause a fierce conflict. Constantine rushed into the palace, wearing a bearskin hat, a solemn priest robe, and his piercing eyes seemed to be shining.

Seeing Catherine on the throne, Constantine showed due respect and nodded in greeting.

"Princess Katerin, Constantine, the servant of Ersun, pays respect to the Boha family. Your father's affairs have made all the Kislevites sad..."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked outside the palace, as if he could see the person who was coming through the infinite distance.

"Except for the elves' lackeys, the National Defense Army."

General Petrov, a legendary warrior of great reputation, was introduced by Oliveira. The 20-year-old son of a Kislev worker went to the northern army of Naggaroth and fought with the northern barbarians for eight years.

After that, he joined Prince Caledon's guard for five years under the recommendation of Masno. Judging from his resume, he is a staunch pro-essentialist.

Petrov, who is nearly fifty years old, does not look old. The two eagles on his breastplate are sharp and sharp, and the strands of his raven cloak stand up when he walks.

This is the symbol of the general, a precious legacy left by Raskol. Every general must swear an oath in front of the raven cloak, vowing to guard the cold land like a crow in the dark night.

The general walked to the same level as Constantine, first nodded to the princess, expressed his condolences for the sad news of the Red Tsar, and then directed his attack on the Patriarch.

"Constantine, during the bloody war, the Patriarchs of Kislev were killed by the Patriarchs. They twisted the will of Ersun, begged for forgiveness from the Dark God, and lured Katrin into evil...

What are you doing in the Ice Palace now? Kislev religious law has clearly stipulated that the church is not allowed to interfere in political affairs! "

Constantine's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he was not afraid of the general's coercion at all: "Of course it is because Kislev will not become a puppet of the elves! And why did you bring the elf's ambassador to the Ice Palace? The princess did not summon him. He should stay quietly in Erengrad and wait for the notice of the coronation of the tsarine!"

The accompanying First Guards secretly pulled out a small part of their long sword, and the sound of metal friction seemed to remind the Patriarch.

The reason why your Grand Orthodox Church was able to ignite the remaining flames was with the tacit approval of the Patriotic Army. We want you to live, and you can live only if we want you to live. Otherwise, you can only continue to practice asceticism in the countryside.

The Crusaders are no less capable, holding the wooden handles of their battle axes. Once the conflict escalates, they don't mind taking action to purge the court.

The Griffin Legion quietly arrived outside the palace, and the theme of this chaos was the fate of the Tsarine.

Constantine wanted to protect Katerina in the name of religion to avoid being taken away by the Patriotic Army and become a pro-spermist.

Petrov always follows the general's will and is wary of any son of Boha who can communicate with the land of Kislev...especially women!

Katerina believes that both of these guys have bad intentions and that the true ruler should not have his fate controlled by others.

Only Judith stood there with her arms folded, like an outsider, ready to watch a big show. (End of this chapter)
