Anna's sword pierced Maria's chest, only a few inches away from the heart, while Maria's sharp claws tore Anna's throat and broke most of the latter's neck.
The outcome has been divided!
In the end, Snow White was superior and defeated her stepmother at the cost of minor injuries.
Yes, even though Maria was covered in sword wounds and her chest was pierced at the moment, this was indeed just a minor injury to her.
As a half-vampire, as long as her heart and brain are not damaged, all other injuries can be healed quickly by consuming blood.
But not Anna.
She is just a human being. Even a witch with magical powers is still a human being.
An injury as severe as a severed throat cannot be cured by the power of the regeneration potion alone.
She failed after all.
And the price of failure is death!
"Ho-ho-"
She opened her mouth to say something, but all that came out was a sound like wind.
Released the hilt of the sword, Anna held her throat and backed away against the wall, slowly sliding to the ground, her eyes gradually losing their luster.
At this moment, along with the sound of footsteps, another group of people rushed in from the door.
The leader saw Anna lying at the foot of the wall at a glance, and immediately let out a sad cry:
"Mother!"
Yes, the person who came was none other than Kuroyukihime, whom everyone was secretly laughing at.
At this time, she was like the most filial daughter. Even though her mother had changed beyond recognition, she recognized her at a glance.
Immediately afterwards, she threw herself on her mother's body, fell to the ground and cried bitterly. The cry was really heartbreaking for those who heard it, and made those who saw it cry. Feng Yi on the side almost laughed out loud.
This girl was interesting. In his perception, she looked sad and crying on the surface, but inside she was extremely happy, which was completely opposite to her appearance.
Obviously, this is also a "dutiful son", no, it should be said to be a "dutiful daughter", the kind where the mother says goodbye to her daughter and smiles.
She cried for a while, raised her head, glanced at the scene in the room, and immediately pointed the finger at Maria, whose claws were still stained with blood:
"It turns out it's you! It was you who killed my mother! You, a matricide sinner, kill her and avenge the queen!"
The second half of the sentence she said was directed at the knights and soldiers.
The reason why she brought these people here was for this - in fact, when the first group of soldiers rushed into this hall, the "Kuroyuki Princess" already knew what happened, but she did not show up to help her Instead, his mother ran outside to summon the guards and knights who didn't hear the movement.
On the way here, she deliberately delayed for a while, just to wait until her mother died in the hands of Snow White, and then she could show up and call on the knights to kill each other in the name of her mother's revenge.
As a result, both the queen and the eldest princess died, and naturally she was the only heir to the throne. So what if everyone knew that she was a cheating bastard?As long as her father is in control of her, the throne is hers!
However, when she yelled out the words to avenge her mother, the image of the knights immediately responding did not happen.
I saw them looking left and right, nodding to each other, and then kneeling down on one knee to Maria:
"Congratulations to Your Highness the Princess for killing the Demon Queen, bringing order to the chaos, and rescuing the country from the fire and water!"
"The demon queen?"
Maria, who thought there was going to be another fight, was confused by this scene.
What's going on, these knights actually knelt down to me and called Anna the "demon queen"?
"Yes, we have suffered for a long time from the Demon Queen who has defiled the palace and the cholera country! It's a pity that we are only mortals and cannot resist her magic. Even His Majesty the King has been manipulated. But Your Highness, Princess, you have completed the killing The Demon Queen’s feats are evidence that the gods have blessed you and our country, so naturally we will offer our loyalty to you!”
The leading knight was very talkative. In just a few sentences, he described himself and others as loyal ministers who endured hardships under the power of the Demon Queen and waited for their master. He did not mention at all how they flattered Queen Anna when she was still alive. Be respectful and flattering.
Faced with such a scene, not to mention Maria, Kuroyukihime on the side was stunned:
"You, are you crazy? She is the murderer of my mother! You actually kneel down to her!?"
"Shut up! You lowly bastard!"
The leading knight turned around and shouted coldly, without giving the other party any face:
"Recognize your identity! You are just the offspring of a demon queen and a slave. You have no royal blood at all. You are not qualified to order us, and you are not even qualified to step into this castle!"
"Kuroyuki Princess" was stunned when she heard this.
This, what does this mean, is it to drive her out of the castle?
She subconsciously wanted to get angry and reprimand, but when she saw the murderous look in the knight's eyes, her heart immediately dropped.
She had no doubt that if she dared to say another word, he would definitely draw his sword and chop her!
"Okay, there's no need to be so harsh on her."
Maria, who was watching the farce, finally spoke.
Of course she could see that these knights were not really as loyal and unyielding as they said they were and surrendered to her. In fact, they just acted according to the circumstances and always stood on the side of the winner.
After all, no matter what, Maria is the legitimate heir to the throne with the blood of the king, and she has the strength to kill the Witch Queen with her own hands. Whether it is blood or strength, she is much stronger than the so-called "Kuroyuki Princess", Knight Of course we know what to choose.
However, Maria still felt that it was too much to kill her unrelated "sister" in order to show her loyalty.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you."
She said to "Kuroyuki-Princess":
"But as the knight said, you don't have the blood of my father, and you are naturally not a member of the royal family, so I can't let you stay here. I'll give you one day to clean up your personal affairs. Items, then leave this castle, never come back, and never act in the name of the royal family in the future!”
"..."
"Kroyukihime" heard this sentence which was equivalent to banishment. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she saw that the knights had stretched their hands to the hilts of their swords, she finally closed her mouth and accepted it silently. own ending.
Her dream of becoming a queen ended suddenly before it even began.
Chapter 132 Queen Regent
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what an interesting little girl. Call her soft-hearted. She was able to suck the blood of more than a dozen soldiers without hesitation before. Call her decisive in killing, but she is also lenient to her enemy's daughter. It's really contradictory. Where are the people!”
In the corner of the hall, Elsa said this after seeing all the previous scenes.
Of course she was talking about Maria.
The Ice Queen did not show any hatred toward the person who killed her sister, but instead showed some interest in her eyes.
"What's so strange about this? She rushed in without hesitation before because she was fighting at that time. Any hesitation may lead to her defeat or even death. Now let this little black girl go. It shows her magnanimity and kindness, and just dilutes the ferocity and chill of killing her stepmother with her own hands. This cheap disciple of mine is very smart at heart!"
Feng Yi said at the side, even if he didn't read her mind, he could see through Maria's little thoughts at a glance.
This girl is indeed a born political creature, and every move involves various considerations.
With this wisdom and agility, coupled with the things Feng Yi taught her, it seems that she can secure the throne.
However, Feng Yi's appreciation of Maria seemed to make Elsa a little unhappy again.
"Hmph! After all, it's just a intrigue among mortals. If she puts all her thoughts on it, she will only be the next Anna."
This is also the reason why she chose to build a kingdom of ice and snow in the far north. Not only is the climate there very suitable for her innate magic, but it is also because there are few people there and there is no need to think too much about human calculations.
In response, Feng Yi just shrugged and said nothing more.
……
On the other side, those knights had actually seen Feng Yi and Elsa long ago.
However, the undisguised aura and coercion of the two of them almost wrote the words "I am a master" on their faces, so no one dared to touch them rashly.
But after all, there are still two big living people standing here. One of them seems to be the guest invited by the Demon Queen before. He still needs to find out his identity.
"Your Highness, these two are...?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is my teacher. He saved me. He also taught me the true meaning of power and gave me the power of revenge. As for this..."
Maria hesitated for a moment and then said:
"She is the sister of the Demon Queen, but she is not our enemy. You just need to receive her as a distinguished guest."
When several knights heard this, their faces immediately turned green.
Feng Yi, the princess's teacher, can be said to be one of her own, but this lady who looks so cold...is actually the sister of the Demon Queen?
Even if the princess says she is not an enemy, the knights still have to believe her!
They just pledged their allegiance to the person who killed each other's sister!Moreover, he talked about the Demon Queen, and even encouraged the princess to expel the Demon Queen's only daughter. How could the other party really not mind?
For a moment, several knights felt anxious and uneasy.
But how did they know that in Elsa's eyes, let alone knights like them, even Anna, as her biological sister, had a limited status compared to the weeds on the roadside.
Regarding her sister's death, she did not feel any hatred except that she felt regretful that she had lost a pastime.
Of course, there is also the reason for this strong man Feng Yi.
If it weren't for him, Elsa wouldn't mind killing everyone at the scene and burying them with Anna, as this would be to commemorate her completely lost family ties.
She is such a cold, indifferent person, as cold as ice and snow!
……
A few days later, with the announcement of the Demon Queen's beheading, Snow White Maria officially became the master of the castle.
However, because her father, the king of Lore Kingdom, was still alive, he was not crowned king.
Although the old king woke up from Anna's mind control magic, he had been controlled by the magic for many years, which also caused huge damage to his body and spirit, and he had lost the ability to continue to govern.
Therefore, he appointed his daughter as the female regent to take charge of the country temporarily on his behalf.
This is actually equivalent to abdication, but it seems that this world does not currently have such a system, so Maria is allowed to take power in the form of regent.
The grand coronation ceremony of the regent took place in the royal city, and all the nobles in the country and high-level officials of the church attended the scene.
These wallflowers who once bowed to Queen Anna seemed to have forgotten the oaths they had sworn at each other's feet, and one by one they rushed to show their favor to the new master of the kingdom.
Especially the church, they never mentioned that they had sent people to hunt down Snow White, nor did they mention her half-vampire bloodline. They just regarded her as an ordinary heiress of the kingdom.
There was no way, because just two nights ago, Maria quietly sneaked into the local church, killed the vampire hunter who had been chasing her, cut off his head, and threw it on the bedside of the local bishop. superior.
When the bishop woke up in the middle of the night with an urgent need to urinate, he opened his eyes and saw a dead head next to his head. He was almost scared to death!
After a whole day of emergency consultations within the church, all senior leaders unanimously agreed to submit to the new masters of the kingdom.
Anyway, surrendering to the Demon Queen is surrendering, and surrendering to the Vampire Queen is also surrendering. For church leaders with flexible moral bottom lines, just changing their master is not a big deal!
Mary calmly accepted the church's overtures and did not show any hostility, which made the church leaders feel a little relieved.
That's right, even if the king is aloof, if he wants to rule the stupid and short-sighted subjects below, he still has to rely on the help of their church!
The new regent and future queen looked like a wise person at first sight and would not fail to see this.
But in fact, what they don't know is that Maria has already made up her mind secretly. In the next governance, she will get rid of these church leaders bit by bit and replace them with people who truly belong to her.
This is her kingdom and there is no need for an organization that can compete with the royal power for influence!
Seeing Anna controlling the power of the kingdom little by little with ease, Feng Yi nodded happily.
Very good, it seems that she can take care of herself, then it is time for him to leave this country and continue his journey of exploration.
Thinking this, Feng Yi turned around and turned into a stream of light and left.
At the same time, Anna, who was meeting with nobles from all parties, suddenly felt empty and raised her head.
Although she couldn't see it, she could feel that the will that had been protecting her had left.
"Teacher, have you left..."
Although she had known that this day would come, she still felt disappointed in her heart.
The road ahead will have to be walked by her alone again!
Chapter 133 Interlude·The meeting of the two princesses
This was what happened shortly after Feng Yi left the Kingdom of Lore.
In the forest where Snow White once changed her destiny, there is a road that traverses the entire forest, leading to another neighboring country.
On this day, a very strange scene occurred on this road——
A young girl with an appearance of ignorance and childishness was riding a big dog with eyes as big as the mouth of a bowl, looking at seven dwarfs kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"So, don't be a robber anymore, you know?"
