Chris's Faith of Fire

An informant came to report that Ladia did not go to the Fitzgerald territory where Chris was rewarded, but chose Yanbeard City, which was a difficult place.But one advantage is that it is very close to Neferait. If I were her, I would definitely choose to find the Pope first to make myself justified, and then cut off the diplomacy between Rodkulosaint and the empire.No matter what, we have to go around in a big circle...

"Maybe a quick fix would be a good idea."

"You are right. If you wish, I will gather the soldiers."

Chris waved her hand and refused, "No need... As Mr. Lian said, human beings have been suffering from war for too long, and at least need the same time to recuperate. If I kill my sister at this time, it will be a real injustice. The person."

The discussion still did not have a good result.Although Chris won the victory, there were too few available people. There was only Fermina in front of the emperor. Although she was smart and capable, she was clearly unable to do what she wanted when she was alone. On the contrary... the big nobles on her sister's side had the responsibility to manage internal affairs. With experience, does her side have an advantage in the war between humans?

The girl looked up at the Phantom Blade hanging on the weapon rack in her office. If an ordinary person picked it up, it would be as heavy as a stone.

"Rather than personal strength, I need allies now."

"Almost all the remaining Garnet nobles have chosen to follow His Highness Ladia. They cannot stand the beasts..."

"Stop talking, as long as I live for one day, there will be a place for you here."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

Chris stroked her forehead. She had not rested for two days.Immediately after the war ended, she started rebuilding work, but planning and funding, and even refugees from all over the place came to ask for help after hearing the news of defeating the Demon King, so she couldn't come up with so much money anyway. "My sister is probably in the same situation."

"The great nobles support her, and the war has almost reshuffled the classes, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse."

"I understand... Noelle and Sylvie are going back to Sestotia. I want to use them to communicate with the trade route to King Gilkern and the remaining beasts in Parthia. If possible, I will Let's do business with them. There is a lot of gold there, and we need gold. As for the empire, it is blocked by the Holy City of Neferrait, and if Elaine wants to support my sister, then I can't expect her to borrow money... Forget it, first Let’s start with Gilkern, and go to the civil servants to formulate a specific plan.”

"Understood, Your Majesty."

"Fami." Chris looked at the boy, "Noelle and the others will go back after the coronation ceremony in a while. You help me deliver those letters, and then go find Noelle and the others first. I'll be back in a minute." "

The so-called coronation ceremony didn't even use a gold crown. She found someone to make a simple one out of copper, which wouldn't be too heavy.The only nobles present who were not consecrated by themselves were Sir Lorraine and Adele, who had not yet left the city of rhodolite.

I don't need the recognition of those priests and kings, and I don't have time to wait for my scouts to bypass Ladia and go to Neferait to issue an invitation. Patricia has a close relationship with her sister, and she will not agree.

"Kris..." Fami did not immediately obey Chris's order. He probably wanted to say something else, but Fermina interrupted him.

"It's Your Majesty. Lord Fami Kashmir." Fermina corrected Sir Fami by reading the name of the gemstone he had just been given. The canonization ceremony was very simple, and the church was still in ruins.The bishop is just a young paladin in his 20s.This is now the highest standard of treatment.Kashmir is an extremely precious sapphire. Now he is just a knight, but when he gets the territory, Chris will give him his family name, but Fami said that he doesn't need those castles.

So Chris gave the castle originally given to him to Alves, MacKay and Adele.The relationship between the mercenary knight and the first swordsman was getting better and better. At the end of August, they actually announced their marriage. As for Alvis, this kid also wanted to live in the royal city.He can read and write, which can help him.

"It's okay, Firmina, it's okay if Fami calls it that..."

"Screaming becomes a habit and can't be changed in front of others."

"Hmm... you are right, Fami, you should address me as your majesty in front of others."

"I know." The young man was already a little impatient because of their discussion, but now his irritability showed on his face.

Chrissy knew that his flaws would become bigger and bigger if he continued like this, "Fami, I'll find a teacher for you. Then you can learn reading, writing and politics."

"You know I'm not good at this."

"Try to be good at it, so you can help me."

"...I understand." He paused before answering.

"Then you go find Noelle and the others first, I'll come later."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fami closed the door and left. He was not in a good mood. He thought that after the war, he and Chris would live a happy life. Unexpectedly, he was clearly beside her now, but she seemed to Not even a quarter of an hour could be picked out.But this is for the sake of the country, there is no other way... The young man lowered his head and muttered to himself, "King, it's very hard too." The words he sneered at in the slums actually came out of his own mouth one day.

"Your Majesty, you are too indulgent towards Fami." Looking at the wooden door that was closed with a little force, Firmina sighed.

"Because I love him." Chris said lightly while reading the refugee report on the table.

"Then you want him to be king?"

Chris glanced at her sideways, "Don't make such a joke, he doesn't have this talent."

"After becoming your husband, if you don't have political talent, you will be criticized by everyone. That's the most difficult time."

"We won't get married for the time being, so I found a teacher for him."

"Your Highness Ladia will not wait that long..."

"what do you want to say in the end."

Firmina thought for a while before making up her mind and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is not an ordinary woman. You cannot win wars, build a good country, and gain love at the same time."

"..."

"Emperor Aaron's Sir Lorraine hasn't left yet. I heard that the emperor is very infatuated with Sir Fami. On the contrary, her subordinate Lyles seems to have been a mercenary you rescued. People in the mercenary station have rumors that you When he was allowed to stay with the emperor, the queen's country is now managed very well by him and a businessman. Try to trade him for Fami. If successful, we will not only get an experienced minister, but we can also gain an ally. It’s really killing two birds with one stone.”

With a snap, Chrissy's pen broke, and the fragments bounced into Firmina's face.

The Queen did not reply to her previous proposal, but simply stood up from her seat.

"It's getting late, let's go see Noelle and the others off. By the way, there's also my coronation ceremony."

Final Chapter. Breakup——5

The avenue looks a little different today. The buildings on both sides are still dilapidated, but the rubble and debris have been cleared away.As soon as I passed through the noble area, I saw Orc workers coming and going.The bustling sound made the royal capital come alive again. There were many blacksmith shops and lumber shops walking through the square. Now, under the arrangement of Firmina, these places have reopened.Everyone is coming and going, and it’s time to hire people, so there are more and more workers carrying goods and customizing iron objects.

After a month, everyone began to slowly get into work mode.

"well done……"

"Your Majesty, it seems that the praise will have to wait for a while." Fermina frowned and looked at the carpentry room to the side.

The workers were still speaking in the Orc language, and it was inevitable that they would have some bumps and bruises with humans.

Following Fermina's eyes, Chris saw an orc and a human being quarreling. With her half-knowledge, she could only tell that they seemed to be arguing about the price. "Whose worker is that?" Chris asked Firmina.

"Sorry, he seems to be a member of my tribe." The orc girl recognized him when she saw the badge on his shoulder, and then she stepped forward to question him.

“sidu vuyekumakda (What happened?)”

"Ovun vaeradi denna mila pera! (The price given by humans is not the same as what was discussed before!)" The worker was extremely excited, and his face was tense as if he was facing an enemy. Fermina waved her hand and went up on her own. Talk to the guy at the shop beforehand.After a while she came back and told the orc.

"etarunayaoba mesepavasanu ovungelokkaoba dedenalabadena lesa avasyatava sampurnayenma ahosi (You idiot, the guy told me that their boss was willing to waive [-]% as a discount.)"

Hearing this, the orc immediately didn't know how to answer, and silently stepped forward to salute and apologize to the human guy.

"Language education, their situation is more urgent than that of Fami. Although it is just a small matter, it would be too bad if there is a conflict." Chrissy's eyebrows wrinkled again. She is so cute and is not suitable for this kind of thing. She had an expression of bitterness and hatred, but everyone knew that the country now relied on her to function. Without Queen Crystal, the orcs would never be willing to coexist peacefully with the human race, and the same was true for the human race.

"It's a very long job."

"Yes, but in the short term we have to use some simple and effective methods. Use paper, not... use cheap wooden boards, engrave some commonly used common languages, and add the translation in Orcish language next to it."

"It's a pretty good idea, I'll let the civil servants do it."

"The sooner the better, otherwise the city will come to a standstill sooner or later due to civil strife." Chris looked so serious that she almost didn't notice the workers behind her who were holding the goods and whose view was blocked.

Firmina hugged Chrissy's shoulders and dodged the pedestrians who were rushing past. The market was so noisy that many of them didn't recognize the Queen, even though there weren't many girls who stood out like her, probably because they really It's too busy.

"I really miss him." Chris suddenly said, "I met Fami here before, no...I didn't know his name at that time, he was like a hungry wolf plundering my wallet from beside me. , I was very angry.”

"Who knew that with him by your side now, he could still make the cutest girl in the world say she loves him."

She didn't know if it was love or the cutest girl in the world that made her cheeks turn red.Firmina felt that she was just telling the truth.They walked through the crowd and came to the square, which was much more orderly. Officers and nobles with awards gathered here.Chrissy's coronation ceremony today was held in the church south of the square, which is relatively well-preserved.The coat of arms with red as the background color, golden Salamander and flame patterns has been hung everywhere in the city. Firmina once suggested changing it to another one, but Chris insisted that this one should not be used. She is the legitimate queen of Garnet. There is no need to give the impression of a guilty conscience.

Seeing Fermina and the queen coming here, people gave way one after another. The orcs were twice as pious as the humans. They still think that Chrissy is the incarnation of the fire elf. Hundreds of people knelt down and stood alone. knee.What they were talking about was the Queen of Fire and the elf Salamander, and the brave Noel stood opposite her.Fami and Alves were still there. What surprised her was that Ma Kai and Adele were also there. She thought they didn't care about her at all.Seeing Ma Kai kneel down, Chris felt that she was really wise in canonizing him at that time.

"Your Majesty, good afternoon." The bishop came to the front. He was a young man who was promoted from the Paladin. This matter was handled by Alves.Promoting bishops without the permission of the Holy See is against the rules, but who is willing to let them infiltrate themselves when they know that the other party may become an enemy?

I have to control the power of religion myself, otherwise the orcs will be too easily brainwashed by those cunning guys.But at least Crystal said that mercenaries cannot be allowed to become bishops. This is an unfair statement in itself, and it can no longer be true.

"Good afternoon, Lord Bishop. How are you preparing?"

"Everything is ready, but the ritual process proposed by His Majesty is too frugal. Based on my study in Neferait, some parts cannot be omitted."

He must be talking about the coronation parade. Chris didn't want to make it too complicated. She had just come out of the office and was dizzy. She couldn't guarantee whether she would fall off the horse or walk faster.And now she doesn't want to waste a single working day.

"That's fine, I have the final say. I still want to do some work in the afternoon... There is also a dinner party in the evening, so just go through the process."

"Yes... I will follow your orders." This young man has blond hair and blue eyes, and he looks quite presentable. What is his name?Forget it, I just need to call him Bishop.

The land north of the Amber River has been completely enfeoffed. These "nobles" don't even have their own flags. They all say that it takes at least a hundred years to cultivate a noble. I don't have the patience now.Neither will Sister Ladia. She can quickly surround herself with the help of law and allies. I have to find a breakthrough.The Queen was still thinking about this when she walked into the church without a red carpet or flowers.

They have no army and no people, so they can't resist my sister.

Chrissy had no spare money to support the army, so the nobles had to support themselves and be able to organize combat power to resist.

Now they are noisy and noisy, and they are sincerely happy for their coronation, but no one can guarantee what will happen next.It's hard to be a queen. After crossing the small church, my eyes swept over the stone pillars and the simply carved goddess statues on them.Then seeing the brand new box and holy oil on the prayer table, Chris was a little afraid to bear the weight of the crown.

"Everyone, please be quiet." The bishop said at this time, "With the will of the goddess, the Demon King was defeated by our Queen of Fire and the brave Lord Noelle. This is a manifestation of justice and a proof of the tenacious struggle of mankind."

Although he was impassioned, the orcs around him couldn't quite understand. Firmina made a gesture, and Haka, who was standing by, stood next to the bishop and conveyed his words together.

"The restoration of peace to Rodeculosaint is undoubtedly the result of the leadership of Crystal Rubiel Macefield. Nefera's Mercy...I will place this crown in her name Give it to her!" The young man said and took out the polished brass crown from a brand new wooden box.

But Chris took it and put it on herself. The bishop simply applied holy oil on her forehead and then withdrew.

Although she had said in advance that she would never succumb to the Church and the Empire, this action seemed to have conveyed her thoughts.The orcs cheered, and their words and actions were easier to understand.

"I have something to say, everyone." Chris stood up straight. The dress she wore today was a little too plain.Obviously she still had the one given to Erin in the Fairy Land, but she didn't want people to think of herself as the cute crystal princess anymore. She wanted to be a doer.

"After two years of the Demon King's War, we have regained Rodculosaint. I respect each of you, whether you are an orc or a human, you are the most heroic warriors in the world."

Along with the cheers, someone shouted, "Long live the Queen!"

Now is not the time to shout this, she hasn't finished speaking yet.

"This war is too harsh. We have experienced everything! We have encountered all kinds of powerful enemies. We have lost our father, mother, family and friends, husband, wife! And brothers and sisters... We have lost too much. , but we are strong, as hard as rock and as flexible as bamboo! In this way, we finally survived and survived after creating a legend!"

Hearing the Queen's passionate speech, they could feel it even through Firmina's mouth.

"Oh oh oh!"

The shouting grew louder and louder, and even the workers gathered outside the church could hear clearly.Together they expressed their emotions in the simplest of voices while shouting, "Long live the Queen!"

But Chrissy's expression became more and more gloomy. She raised a hand and waited for about a quarter of an hour before everyone became quiet.They stared at the queen's delicate face, and they became troubled when they saw the melancholy expression.

Chrissy took a deep breath, "But now someone is denying our achievements! Some people should already understand what I'm talking about. Can you tolerate such people!"

"No!" Someone yelled, roaring like his throat was being torn.

"Of course not!" she repeated, "So we are here to re-establish Rodkulosaint, build our Garnet, the Kingdom of Fire! Re-establish our homeland. But my sister Ladia, she She even ignores your achievements and looks down on you who are not nobles and non-humans. What do you think we should do?"

Faced with this leading question, Noel frowned on the side, and the expressions of Adele and Ma Kai also looked a little cold.After Fermina's translation, the beast warriors put on their most angry expressions.

“aeyava maranna (Kill her!)”

“aeyava maranna (Kill her!)”

“aeyava maranna (Kill her!)”

Yes, kill her.

The existence of my sister has become my biggest obstacle.The church will not recognize us unless we get rid of her, and Gilkern will remain neutral. The evidence is that they did not come to his coronation ceremony.The same goes for Lord Asha... Have you really forgotten that we were comrades on the same front?

Until the ceremony was over and people dispersed, Chris was still thinking to herself.

◆ ◇

The banquet was held in the royal city. The number of people was fifty. They drank wine grains...and ate very little.

There is no money to hold a large banquet now, and even this place is in a shabby state.

Take your time, Chris comforted herself.Time is tight, but not too little. My sister gathers troops to feed the army, supplies, etc. Even if the empire intervenes, it will take a long time, and wars with humans tend to last longer.

At this time, Sophie and her brother came to the front and said, "Your Majesty, congratulations on becoming the new King of Garnet." Alves attended with his silly girlfriend Jimena, and Chrissy didn't mind this.Alves will become another of his bodyguards, and he will be able to pick up the Sword of the Phantom God.

"Congratulations to you too. Are you really not going to live somewhere else?"

"I want to protect your safety...and that was something Sister Sophie once regarded as an honor."

"Then thank you for the hard work, Alves."

Ma Kai, who was holding a wine glass on the other side of the hall, looked at this scene and smiled, but Chris happened to see him.

This guy... the queen just wanted to ask him something. When she approached to ask, Adele, who was standing next to Ma Kai, deftly turned around and started talking to other people.

Forget it, it doesn't matter if she's here or not.

"Do you think I went too far today?" The Queen asked him directly. There was no need to hide anything from this guy. Being straightforward was the best way to get along with him.

Ma Kai shrugged, "I'm just a mercenary."

"Now you are a knight, and you are still the earl I rewarded." Chris said forcefully.

"Your Majesty..." He took a sip of wine, "It's naturally not appropriate for you to do this now, because someone will convey the news to Her Highness Latia, and she will also tell the Holy See about your illegal coronation, which will then make things worse. Becoming more and more passive.”

"But if I don't do this, will the Holy See recognize me?"

"Of course not, so you didn't do anything wrong. You just lost some friends..." Ma Kai looked at the hero and his sister. They were restless, even more uneasy than during the war.

"Noelle." Chris left Mackay and walked to them.
