Enlos did not have much impression of this military and political minister who had only been in office for two years. After listening to my and Bayard's stories, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"Your Highness, would you like to withdraw from the interrogation that follows?"

Enros looked at Noah beside him and asked hesitantly.

Noah shook his head and clenched his hands, digging his nails deeply into his palms. "I want to know the truth of that matter."

After completing the preparations, Enros's men immediately began to interrogate Morfa.

Morfa was very cooperative.

After seeing Enroth appear, he understood the purpose of him being rescued from the dungeon by them. After all, Morfa had also stood on the side of the Austin faction and fought against Enroth's Prime Minister faction.

Moreover, this is his only possible chance to take revenge on Austin. With Enros's power, it is absolutely possible for him to bring Austin down.

Chapter 47: Strange

However, we did not tell, and Morfa did not identify Noah's identity.

Perhaps more than ten years was too long, or perhaps his desire for revenge was so strong that it blurred his senses. He might even have determined that the princess had died in the chaos, and he was called here now just to use the evidence in his hand to overthrow Austin's rule.

Imprisoned in the dungeon for years, he had no idea that the girl had grown up and was about to be crowned queen.

Therefore, there was no unnecessary embellishment or euphemism in the oral statements during the interrogation.

It was like a nightmare that appeared every night when everyone was asleep, pulling people back to the bloody incident more than ten years ago, tearing open the wound that seemed to have solidified into a blood scab and sprinkling white salt on it.

"Noah..."

Inina looked at her friend's pale face, held her cold hand, and asked worriedly.

However, Noah just shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and his eyes were still looking at Morfa in the interrogation room.

I watched everything from the side. From beginning to end, Noah only reacted when he heard that his father and mother were attacked and died, but he just straightened his body.

There was not much emotion in Noah's eyes because she had buried her hatred in her heart. Even though she knew that Morfa was one of the murderers of her parents, she chose to be patient at this moment because she knew the other party's importance to the current situation.

Tragic changes can really make a person grow a lot.

The truth is just as we guessed, but with many more details and content.

The attack was instigated by Austin and planned by Morfa, who entrusted his Shadow Legion to carry out the assassination and create chaos.

It took them five full years to set up the plan, and they quickly cleaned up all traces of the incident after it happened, which resulted in subsequent investigations containing no information related to Morfa, and also allowed Austin to get away with it and quickly take over the throne.

There were many other people involved in that year to smooth the relationships and channels within the city of Heshvia, and these people have been persecuted by Austin or even together with him.

As the mastermind of the incident, Morfa naturally could not escape Austin's sight.

But just as Bayard thought, he left behind evidence and leverage related to the incident, and used it to sign an agreement with Austin, so that they lived in peace for a few years after the latter came to power.

However, the news that the princess was still alive was exposed, which made Austin worried. He believed that Morfa's existence posed a serious hidden danger. He took the lead in taking action against Morfa, creating a scandal to force him to step down and then imprisoned him until now.

During the imprisonment, the control of Morfa's Shadow Legion was transferred to Austin.

This is also why the disappeared Shadow Legion reappeared three years ago.

Morfa informed Enros's people of the location where the evidence was buried. It included the plan and agreement of the incident that year, as well as the signatures of all participants including Austin. Every step was detailed, so it was no wonder that Austin attached so much importance to it.

Finally, Morfa agreed to our plan and accused Auston at the coronation ceremony.

Or maybe this is exactly what he thought.

Destroy everything that Austin has now with your own hands and complete your revenge.

At the same time, in the Agate Palace of the royal city of Kanalan.

Austin looked at the dungeon in front of him with no one in it and only fallen locks and chains left, without saying a word. After a long time, he walked out of the secret passage, and the bookshelf slowly closed behind him.

"Wilbur."

"My Lord, what do you want me to do?"

Summoned by the guards, the steward who had been waiting outside the door early stepped into the room and asked respectfully.

"Notify Sis, Carloa, Clarence and others to gather in the Emerald Hall immediately. I have something to tell them."

"However, Lord Silla and Lord Carloa have other plans for the afternoon, and this is also in accordance with your arrangement, Your Majesty."

the steward asked hesitantly.

"I said, immediately!"

Auston's cold voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

……

I found Morfa and solved the most critical problem at the moment. I finally felt relieved that I had been worried for a while.

After returning from Enros, she enjoyed the last two days of a comfortable life as a princess. I have to say that after letting go of the pressure, I realized the privilege of being a princess, which I had always ignored before.

If possible, for a moment I would like to exchange identities with Noah.

Of course, it's just a thought. If this period of time wasn't special, normally the princess would have a lot of courses scheduled every day on royal and aristocratic etiquette.

What's more, for Noah, who is about to be crowned queen, such course tasks are probably even more arduous.

But this is not something I have to worry about later.

I fed a small piece of cake to Ali in my arms, drank the rather delicious black tea that Edith had brewed after becoming Hill's apprentice, and thought heartlessly.

But I didn’t expect that such a comfortable life would be broken on the afternoon of the last day before the coronation ceremony.

Prince Auston visited the palace.

"Noah, tomorrow is your coronation ceremony. There will be special personnel to arrange everything. You just need to follow them. Don't act arbitrarily or you will lose your royal identity in front of outsiders. Your uncle will go to the ceremony site, Alons White Court, with Bishop Anthony and Prime Minister Enros tomorrow to wait. Remember what your uncle said. Do you understand?"

"Noah understands. Thank you for troubling my uncle."

Austin simply said a few words and then stood up and left. It seemed that it was just a warning before the coronation ceremony, but as I watched his leaving back, I had a bad feeling in my heart.

I vaguely felt that there was something wrong with him.

And soon this premonition came true.

"Your Highness, this is the message from Mr. Bayard."

Hill showed up and handed over the parchment in his hand.

Bayard and I have been exchanging information in this way for some time, but we have already found Morfa and confirmed the follow-up plan yesterday, so it is not necessary to do this now.

I took the parchment, opened it, and immediately realized the problem.

Bayard proposed this in the intelligence.

Yesterday, not long after he returned to the royal city, Austin suddenly summoned most of his confidants, including himself, to the Emerald Hall, and each person was given a different task.

His task was to invite two delegations to observe the entire coronation ceremony.

Although he was not clear about the tasks of others, Bayard saw that the commander of the Third Legion, Xiro, and the commander of the East District Guard, Carloa, were also among them, which caught his attention.

It also aroused my vigilance.

In addition, Bayard suggested that Austin asked the two of them to put aside their business and come here, and assigned the task to the Third Legion and the Garrison before the coronation ceremony. Anyone could see that there must be something fishy going on.

A possibility suddenly occurred to me.

"Hill, have Satasia and Garcinia return immediately. The others will stay where they are. Have Sherlock and Garcinia keep a close eye on the Third Army's movements tomorrow. Edith, you don't have to follow me tomorrow. Go with Satasia to the vicinity of the East District Garrison Headquarters."

"Contact the two delegations and have them follow Enros to the White Court of Arons tomorrow. Have Claire and Mr. Larcy keep an eye on the coronation parade. The Thieves' Division will be on standby nearby."

Chapter 48 Coronation Procession

The tenth day of the city-wide celebration.

Kanalan, the capital of Levis, was much more lively than any other day before the celebration.

Because today is the day of the coronation ceremony, and it is also the day when Karen IX's offspring, Princess Noa, is officially crowned as queen after being found.

Karen IX was undoubtedly a wise king.

Even though he was assassinated many years ago, he was still loved by most of the citizens of Levis. After hearing that his son was about to succeed him, the citizens of Levis naturally transferred their love to the latter.

The entire capital was filled with a constant stream of people. Stores and shopping malls put up signs offering discounts or even limited free sales to celebrate the Queen's coronation. Ribbons and colorful ropes connected the buildings on both sides of the street, and colorful decorations set off the celebratory atmosphere to the fullest.

The streets along the route of the coronation procession were crowded with countless people. The high-rise restaurants and pubs were booked early and filled with tourists who came to see the event.

Hotel guests leaned out of their windows; parents and children stood on the steps outside their homes cast their eyes.

Because of concerns about accidents during the coronation ceremony, Ron, who was in charge of the security of the coronation ceremony, had set up fences and cordons yesterday, and deployed corresponding garrisons to maintain order.

But these still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the crowd. They crowded on both sides of the road, holding high the flowers and colorful flags in their hands, eagerly waiting for the princess to pass by.

This lively scene was seen by Austin who was riding in a carriage to the White Court of Arons. These dazzling scenes undoubtedly reminded him that he was just a temporary ruler, and only that child was the bloodline recognized by the kingdom.

But this also strengthened his determination.

"Don't blame your uncle for being cruel, Noah."

Auston lowered the curtains, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

At the same time in the royal city, a large and luxurious team was getting ready.

There were dozens of people, including thirty court musicians, and sixty royal guards in uniform dress lined up with flags and spears.

In the middle of the team was a huge sedan chair carried by eight guards.

With the embellishment of exquisite patterns and gems, it looks particularly luxurious. In the middle of the sedan chair, there is a high platform with steps leading up. Through the hazy gauze curtain, one can vaguely see a petite figure in a long robe.

After the resounding sound of the clock tower was sounded, announcing the start of the coronation ceremony.

The team finally took action. Accompanied by the magnificent music played by the court band, they left the long bridge at the west gate of the royal city and entered the west city area, where they began the coronation procession under the eager eyes of thousands of people in Canallan.

According to the established route, the coronation procession will start from the Royal City, pass through various major urban areas and finally arrive at the White Court of Alons at the junction of the Royal City and the outer urban area, where the bishop of the Church of Light of Levis will bestow the scepter and crown symbolizing the queen's identity.

The so-called divine right of kings.

"What exactly is Auston's plan..."

"Your Highness, many people are looking here."

After I got on the sedan chair, I fell into deep thought while waiting and didn't even notice the parade had started. It was not until I was reminded by Hill's voice that I remembered that I was still in the parade. I quickly collected my thoughts and sat up straight.

Forget it, if the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers and if the water comes, we will block it with earth.

With this thought in mind, I relaxed and looked forward.

Although only shadows could be seen from outside, it was very clear from inside. The lively scene on the parade street was in full view, and even the expressions on everyone's faces could be seen clearly.

Cheers, joy, curiosity, enthusiasm, it seemed that just from the noise of the crowd one could feel their support for the princess who was about to succeed to the throne.

What’s more, there were figures leaning out of every household, flowers lining the streets to welcome them, and waving hands and colorful flags.

Even though there may be some people who are just following the lively atmosphere, and there may be some shadows of opponents hidden in the corners, these minorities will eventually be buried in the torrent of the majority and become the "people" worthy of love in the Queen's Declaration.

"It seems that Noah has a good start in this regard at least."

I couldn't help but think.

Naturally, this group of people also included the surviving players from Orwin and the Constantina Empire.

In the past, these players might have thought about earning some points in the celebration, but now the diplomatic event had already ended yesterday, and they could only return to each other's empires the day after the coronation ceremony.

Now they just want to enjoy this lively celebration in a foreign country.

Allenbis Street, three-story open-air restaurant.

"An An is so impressive~"

"Of course, Queen, it's amazing just thinking about it!"

"If An Tong's mother wants to be the queen, then I will be the princess?"

"…First of all, there must be a blood relationship, Xiao Qian."

A few little guys were lying on the railings, looking at the parade coming from afar, chattering about something. Although they were usually top players in the eyes of ordinary members, they looked like ordinary children at this moment.

Not far away, Qiu Ru was discussing with You You and Lu Mi about the small accessories they bought from the street. Mu Shui and others were also discussing where to go for fun in the afternoon. Only today could they talk about such a leisurely and relaxing topic.

"What's wrong, Liunian? Why are you still looking so bitter and resentful today?"

When Qiu Ru raised her hand to pick up the water cup, she caught a glimpse of Hui Liunian's frowning face beside her.

"That's what I mean. Isn't it nice to relax for a while, Brother Liunian?"
