"What? You said that Lady Elina agreed?"

After hearing what Senya said, Olena's face did not show any joy at all, but instead a solemn expression.

"Senya, this is a serious problem. It seems that we may have let a wolf into the house."

Olena sighed heavily. To be honest, there was a trump card that only she knew.

She knew that as long as this trump card remained, Manius would not dare to act rashly.

The reason why she didn't invite Elena in person this morning was to test her.

As a cosmic-level strong man, if he is repeatedly ignored, he will inevitably leave in anger.

If she could still hold back in this situation, then there was only one explanation, and that was that Elena had set her eyes on something.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Chapter 36: The Flame of Revenge

Olena was worried. The thing she was most worried about finally happened.

If she guessed correctly, Elena was most likely here for the thing hidden under the palace.

That is a secret known only to the kings of all generations, and it concerns the fate of the entire Kingdom of Santa Cruz.

It now seems that Alina may be a greater threat than Manius.

"Sister, is there something I don't know?"

Upon hearing what Olena said, Senya hurriedly walked up to Olena and looked at her sister seriously.

If Olena's previous suspicion of Elena could be explained as a wariness about her origins, then today's test showed that her sister had begun to discover something.

"Senya, this is not something you should know. Go and prepare for tomorrow's grand court meeting. Since Lady Elina is willing to attend, you must be well prepared. No matter what, the most important thing is to deal with Manius first."

Looking at Senya with a serious face in front of her, Olena hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed and spoke softly.

"Ok."

Seeing that Olena was unwilling to say more, Senya could only nod helplessly and then retreat.

The grand court meeting was related to the political direction of the entire Santa Cruz Dynasty, so she had to prepare carefully.

"I hope that this time, the Kingdom of Santa Cruz can smoothly weather this wave."

Looking at Senya being pushed down, Olena sighed heavily.

At first, she never understood why her father was so tired. In her heart, the king was supreme and should be carefree.

But when she became the king of the entire Santa Cruz Kingdom, she finally understood what a king carried.

······

Just as the Kingdom of Santa Cruz was busy preparing for the grand court meeting and Manius was gathering people to prepare for the attack, an elite army armed to the teeth appeared on the border of Santa Cruz.

All the soldiers in these armies said that they were carefully selected and were the real kings of soldiers.

Each of them was equipped with the best equipment, and even horses were ridden by two people.

The country to which this army belongs is the United Kingdom of Lanlyon, which has always been at odds with the Kingdom of Santa Cruz.

Unlike the Kingdom of Santa Cruz, this kingdom was formed by the union of various forces, so it is also called the United Kingdom.

The feud between this country and Santa Cruz has lasted for countless years, and the two sides have long since formed an irreconcilable blood feud.

This time, they secretly stationed troops outside the Great Wall just to wait for an opportunity.

"General Ophelia, do you think our intelligence is accurate?"

At the forefront of this army, there was a female general in white armor, riding on a horse, looking towards the thousands of miles of border line.

Looking at the slender figure of the general, if it weren't for the adjutant's shout, no one would have regarded such a person as a general who commanded a large number of troops in the entire United Kingdom.

"Bessie, you may not know how much effort I have put in for today."

Ophelia chuckled, but her face, hidden by the mask, showed no emotion.

"Before the previous king of the Kingdom of Santa Cruz passed away, I had already sent a large number of spies to the Kingdom of Santa Cruz. Over the years, their intelligence has never been cut off."

"Over the years, the amount of this intelligence has grown to a terrifying number."

"After reading and analyzing countless intelligence reports, I came to the conclusion that the strongest person in the Kingdom of Santa Cruz, Prince Manius, has completely fallen out with the current king. It is said that the two of them almost came to blows in the palace yesterday."

"Tomorrow is the grand court meeting of the Kingdom of Santa Cruz. I am sure that Manius will cause trouble at this grand court meeting. By then, the political situation of the entire Kingdom of Santa Cruz will fall into turmoil."

"Of course, it would be even better if these guys forgot about border defense because of their internal fighting, haha."

Ophelia laughed.

The United Kingdom had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Kingdom of Santa Cruz ten years ago, and was therefore forced to cede thirty-two border cities to the Kingdom of Santa Cruz.

This great shame has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone in the United Kingdom.

Over the years, the United Kingdom has worked hard to make it possible for the day when it can take back all the lost lands and cities from the Kingdom of Santa Cruz.

God did not let them down, their hard work and efforts were not in vain.

Finally, they got the chance they had been waiting for.

In fact, a few years ago, Ophelia was very keen to discover the information hidden in various intelligence.

After researching it, she was surprised to find that Prince Manius, who was known as the pillar of the Kingdom of Santa Cruz and the strongest prince in the kingdom, had actually developed a rift with the current king.

Manius is a well-known strong man throughout the entire continent.

His strength is recognized throughout the continent.

It can be said that as long as he is there, no one can touch the Kingdom of Santa Cruz.

But now, this guy has started to cause internal strife, and the United Kingdom's opportunity has come.

And not only that, in the intelligence that came later, Ophelia also discovered that because Orina made policies too hastily and too quickly, the conflicts between her and the nobles became increasingly severe.

Gradually, the nobles began to split into three factions.

One faction supported the monarchy, one supported Manius, and the other was a fence-sitter.

When Ophelia discovered this split, she was so excited that she drank a lot of wine that night.

This is a godsend.

A united Santa Cruz Kingdom is invincible, but a divided Santa Cruz Kingdom is very easy to deal with.

Ophelia decided to make good use of this opportunity and take back everything she had lost from the Kingdom of Santa Cruz.

Not only that, she also wanted the Kingdom of Santa Cruz to pay a price, a very painful price.

And that time was when the Kingdom of Santa Cruz held a grand court assembly.

"Pass the order down, the entire army will rest tonight. Make sure you all get enough rest. Tomorrow I will lead you to achieve great things!"

Ophelia shouted to her adjutant Bessie. Although she was a woman, the demeanor she displayed was so great that even men would be ashamed of themselves.

"Yes!"

Bessie agreed with some excitement.

All the soldiers of the United Kingdom of Lanlyon were waiting for this moment. When the former general died, he was still thinking about the thirty-five border cities that he had lost.

And today, after ten years of forbearance, the moment of revenge has finally come!

Chapter 37 The Grand Court Meeting Begins

The next morning, Elena got up early and stood outside the palace waiting. She was waiting for Senya to pick her up. Today was the grand court meeting she mentioned.

If the predictions are correct, today will be a very intense fight.

Elina could even sense several powerful auras outside the palace. None of these guys were weaker than the Duke of Perron. They were all nebula-level powerhouses.

These guys gathered together, obviously not to celebrate the birthday of His Majesty the King, but to find trouble.

The one who led them was Prince Manius.

"Ms. Elina, the time has come. Do you think it is okay..."

Not long after, Senya came over, respectfully performed a knight's salute, and invited Elena to attend the grand court meeting.

"Well, lead the way."

Elina nodded and followed Senya.

When she arrived in front of the Council Hall, she suddenly noticed that the mysterious aura had disappeared.

This discovery made Elina frown slightly, but she didn't care and followed Senya into the hall.

"Sir Elina, it is an honor for the Kingdom of Santa Cruz that you are willing to come to attend the grand court meeting. Please wait for a moment."

"Come, take a seat."

As soon as she entered the hall, Elina saw Orina sitting on the throne in the hall.

Today, Orina was dressed in a solemn and dignified manner. The gentleness of her daughter's figure was completely suppressed, and what remained was only the dignity and sharpness of a king.

A palace maid brought a throne and placed it behind Elena. Elena smiled and nodded, then sat down leisurely.

In this hall, only the universe-level strong ones are qualified to get a seat and sit next to His Majesty the King.

The rest of the nobles, even the dukes or even princes of the Nebula level, could only stand under the throne.

This was a method used by the King of the Kingdom of Santa Cruz to win over Manius.

After all, the cosmic level is the ceiling of combat power on this continent, so how could it be willing to be inferior to others? If Manius were to stand under the throne every day and listen to the king's instructions, he would definitely not be able to bear it.

So the former king of the Kingdom of Santa Cruz came up with this idea.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. All the knights of the Royal Knights are in place and will ensure the safety of this grand court meeting."

Not long after, Senya returned to the hall and bowed to Orina to report.

"Okay, then let all the ministers outside the palace come in."

Seeing that all the preparations had been completed, Orina nodded and indicated that the noble ministers could enter the hall.

As the palace gates opened, nobles who had come from all over the world poured into the palace.

Led by the palace maids, they rushed to the Council Hall.

During the journey, they were clearly divided into three factions. The royal faction was led by an old prince, while the Prince Manius faction was led by Manius.

The looks between the two groups of nobles were not friendly.

It looked as if he wanted to eat the person he was facing alive.

Of course, the aristocratic power on the royal side is much smaller than that of Manius.

To be honest, if they did not have royal blood and were not closely related to the royal family of the Kingdom of Santa Cruz, many of them would probably have defected to the Manus camp.

The nobles of the third faction were the most comfortable. They followed the other two factions from a distance, watching them glare at each other with a relaxed and indifferent look on their faces.

This group of people are classic fence-sitters. They will not side with either side and will not stand on either side. They will only choose a team when the final result is about to come out.

They think this is a smart move, but they don't know that it is also the most dangerous move.

Because no matter which side wins, when the final purge comes, they can be purged for any reason.

At the same time, if the conflict between the two sides intensifies to a certain extent, they may jointly target these guys first.

In short, these three groups of people all entered the council hall with their own ulterior motives.

"See my king."

After entering the hall, many nobles saluted.

The prince didn't need to move, the duke just had to bow, the marquis just had to bow, and as for the earl and below the nobles, they needed to kneel down and perform the salute.

As for Prince Manius, he didn't say anything. He walked straight to the throne to the right of the throne and sat down.

This made the faces of some royal nobles immediately turn as black as an iron pot.

This behavior is simply a naked provocation.

Manius had already made it clear to all the nobles present through his actions that in his mind, Olena no longer had any status as king.

When Orina saw this scene, her face turned slightly cold.
