Sickly lady in wheelchair, but God

That night, everyone gathered together for a meeting, formally deposed Porameni and supported Yusof to succeed to the throne.
During the meeting, Bernard hardly spoke a word. Only when the senators proposed to execute Othello, the son of Wallifer, did he stand up and speak for Othello.
Although Wallifer killed many soldiers of the kingdom, he was worthy of the title of Grand Master of the Knights Templar. It would be too much not to praise him, but to kill his son after his death.
Considering Bernard's great contribution, the senators agreed to let Othello go.
Othello is the knight who was captured with Polamene and glared at Polamene and Bernard.
Othello was not grateful, but by saving Othello and deliberately keeping a distance from the senators, Bernard successfully gained the support of the Knights and the Guardian of Torrent Pass.
In the next few days, Bernal did not make any unnecessary moves. He just watched the congressmen start the purge and watched the remaining congressmen fight for power after the death of the three elders.
When the Knights, the Kingdom Army, the Rapids Pass defenders, and even the civilians of Vistapa began to feel dissatisfied, Bernal knew that his chance had come.
After clearing out the imperial court and the Sacred Heart Church, shouldn't the rest of the parliament be cleared out as well?
With support from many parties, Bernal is fearless.
Although there are still some troops outside Vistapa that obey the orders of the Grand Council, as long as he quickly deals with these members and then uses the name of the new king Yusofah, the situation will soon stabilize.
After the decision was made, Bernal invited the lawmakers to a dinner.
Halfway through the dinner, he smashed his cup as a signal, and a group of soldiers as strong as bulls rushed out and took control of all the congressmen.
Not all members of parliament are ordinary people. Some of them are quite strong among the many extraordinary people.
But no matter how strong they are, they are not stronger than Alsophila, the Knights of Vistapa, or Bernal, the first warrior of Snow Tower.
"Everyone, I'm disappointed!"
Bernard crushed the other cup in his hand.
He denounced all the parliamentarians, saying that these parliamentarians were indulging in idleness and were greedy for money. As parliamentarians, they should have assisted the king in governing Vistapa. In the end, not only did they fail to assist the king, but they also took advantage of the succession of the throne to make huge profits. This behavior was not necessarily better than that of the Archbishop of the Sacred Heart Church.
"If the three elders knew what you did, they would be so angry that they would come back to life!"
Under the coercion of force, the imprisoned congressmen trembled in fear. Even if a few people dared to stand up and accuse Bernal of pretending, it would not affect the overall situation.
What's wrong with the family behind you being very powerful?
Standing behind me are the Royal Army, the Knights, and King Eusop!
And can you come together?
Bernal cut the Gordian knot and killed several typical cases directly, and then presented a report to Yusof, requesting that Waliver be awarded honors in recognition of his noble act of sacrificing his life to protect the Vistapa royal family.
Polaménis was not very old, and Youssoufa was even younger, so how could he dare to say no to Bernard?
After awarding the title of "Knight of the Rock" to the Valive family, Youssoufa appointed Bernal as the Speaker of the Grand Council.
This move caused dissatisfaction among some people. After all, Bernal was not a Vistapa person before. But now that things have come to this, it is difficult to oppose Bernal. Vistapa has already fallen completely into Bernal's hands, and Bernal also expressed that he would take the initiative to help the Snow Tower tribe integrate into Vistapa, just like the Sextus tribe before.
It took another month for Bernal to finally stabilize the situation.
At this point, he could almost say he had fulfilled his lifelong wish.
What could an exiled Polamene and a young and ignorant Yusofa use to fight him?
The only one he had to deal with was the Sword Princess who belonged to the same Snow Tower tribe as him.
The fact that Sword Princess supported him in deposing Polamene and suppressing the parliamentarians does not mean that Sword Princess supported him in usurping the throne of Vestapa.
He knew that Sword Lady had actually seen through his true thoughts a long time ago, but she just didn't know how to face the current situation.
Bernal didn't want to fall out with Sword Lady, not even for a moment. He thought it would be better to solve this problem while he was still alive, so that the story of Sword Lady and the Snow Tower Tribe would not end in tragedy.
He planned to impress Sword Lady with his sincerity and make her accept him.
So he found Alsophila spinulosa and stated his purpose straight away.
He has two core points.
1. Vistapa is not the Vistapa of the Nefa family, but the Vistapa of everyone. The King of Heroes must think so, otherwise he would not be so determined to pass the throne to his adopted daughter Ingrid.
Second, Verstappa needs a leader who can lead it forward. At this stage, this leader can and can only be him. Once he leaves, Youssoufa will definitely not be able to control others, and Verstappa will fall into civil strife.
"I respect Vistapa even more than the current king of Vistapa. I swear that I will protect Vistapa with my life, and my descendants will do the same. If one day in the future, I or my descendants break this oath, Sword Princess, you can kill us at any time and choose a suitable new king for Vistapa!"
Bernard's eyes were clear, without even a hint of lies.
Alsophila spinulosa was moved.
She saw with her own eyes that the Snow Tower tribe prospered under Bernal's leadership. Under Bernal's management, Vestapa should also make further progress, right?
it is good.
Then she would just watch quietly from the side.
Bernal let out a sigh of relief.
This way, he can focus all his energy on correcting Verstappa's mistakes.
In order to show his determination, he went to the statue of the Hero King and swore an oath, saying that if he broke the oath, the whole family would not have a good death. He also asked his eldest son to directly worship Sword Princess as his teacher. In this way, Sword Princess would have more reason to discipline his eldest son.
In fact, Bernal also has some selfish motives.
He hoped that after his death, Sword Lady would continue to assist his son so that his son could take over smoothly.
Tong Yao's mouth twitched.
Just to assist your son?
You may not know the saying "Swordsman is eternal and will be passed down forever".
In short, with the emergence of the new position of Speaker and with Bernal becoming Speaker, the Kingdom of Vistapa entered a new era.
This change of power did not cause much loss to Verstappa. Under the leadership of Bernal, Verstappa reached new heights.
But the good times did not last long. One day in 366 AD, Bernal was suddenly assassinated while he was out for an outing.
When Alsophila arrived at the scene after hearing the news, the assassin had been killed by Bernard, but Bernard himself was also seriously injured.

Bernal's serious injury immediately made the situation in Vistapa City become delicate.
Many people who would have loved to lick Bernal's feet in the past few years have all gone dormant in the past few days.
They hid at home, neither seeing guests nor making any comments, as if they were hibernating, but in fact they were waiting for Bernal's diagnosis results.
They want to seize power during the chaos, but they don't dare to start a rebellion now.
Because they were worried that Bernard was faking an injury and deliberately luring them into a trap. Given Bernard's cunningness, it was very likely that he would use such a trick.
Over the past three years, Bernal has successfully taken control of most of Vistapa's power. Even so, there are still many righteous men who are not afraid of power and are determined to kill him and return power to King Eusoe.
But no matter how brave and cautious these heroes were, they could not escape being wiped out by Bernal in the end.
Bernal used his unparalleled political power and strength to tell everyone that as long as he is alive, you all have to lie down obediently!
Therefore, the ambitious people dare not stand up and cause trouble at this time.
They don't care about King Youssou at all. All they care about is the supreme power held by Bernard. Their goal is to hold that power in their own hands. As for King Youssou, he has been a puppet for several years anyway, so there must be no problem for him to continue to be a puppet, right?
The more they desire power, the less likely these ambitious people are to be the first to jump out.
The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, and people of this era also understand this truth.
They were waiting for the news that Bernal was seriously injured and dying. They were also waiting for someone to lose patience and be the first to jump out to oppose Bernal. Only in this way would they stand up and cause trouble.
Come on, come on, let the fire burn even more fiercely!
The ambitious people were both afraid of and jealous of Bernal.
Many of them felt that Bernal was just lucky three years ago, as he was the first to arrive in Vistapa before all the foreign troops, otherwise he would never have been able to take control of Vistapa.
Of course, they would not go so far as to denigrate Bernard to the point of being completely worthless. If Bernard were completely worthless, wouldn't they appear even more useless for licking Bernard's brows when he was in power?
The situation became extremely strange.
Bernal, who was at the center of the vortex, was well aware of the impact his injury had.
Therefore, even though the doctor told him not to move, he still forced himself out of bed after taking the potion.
【You will die.】
Alsophila wrote, looking seriously at Bernal, whose lips were pale.
Bernard shook his head. "Everyone will die one day, but I want to die meaningfully. Moreover, even if I follow the doctor's advice and stay in bed, I won't live long. I know that you deliberately concealed the true condition of my body. In fact, I shouldn't live long, right? One month, or two months?"
Alsophila spinulosa has its mouth slightly open.
Bernard was right, his injuries were so severe that the doctors and magicians were helpless.
[The doctor said, about three to four months.] Alsophila pursed her lips and asked, [“How did you know?”]
Bernard laughed. "How could I not know my own body? In fact, even if I hadn't been assassinated, I don't think I would have lived much longer. Over the years, in order to become stronger, I have overdrawn my body. It's a pity, Lady Sword Princess, I have to say goodbye to you."
He seemed to be joking, but Alsophila couldn't laugh.
Bernal is dying!
She had forgotten how many people she had seen die.
From the day her father died, she thought she would never be sad about the death of others again, but that was not the case.
Sera, the old man who helped her, the previous chief of the Snow Tower Tribe, and the warriors of the Snow Tower Tribe...
As time passed, these people died one after another.
She thought about saving these people, but to no avail. Time would fairly take everyone's life except hers.
Being able to live long should be a joyful thing, but too many separations and deaths have made her begin to wonder whether it is really worth being happy about.
She grew up watching Bernal.
When she came to the Xueta tribe, Bernard was only a few years old and his height was not even up to her chest. Over the past forty years, she watched Bernard grow taller and taller, until he was a head taller than her. Now, Bernard's life is about to come to an end.
Alsophila didn't know what to say.
Crying over the death of someone close to you?
But she really hadn't cried for a long time, and she almost forgot what it felt like to cry.
There was a sour smell in the air.
Although Alsophila's face was covered by the wolf mask, Bernal, as a human being, was still able to keenly capture her emotional fluctuations.
He stood up because he wanted to transfer power smoothly to his descendants and he didn't want Vestapa to fall into turmoil again.
This was the Vistapa he had longed for the most. He had already put the country he longed for most back on the path of stable development. How could he bear to watch the country erupt into civil strife again because of his death?
Bernal is an arrogant man.
He can always say without shame that he is the person who loves Vestapa the most in the world.
Others, even those who were not afraid of power and wanted to kill him, did not love Vestapa as purely as he did, because while loving Vestapa, they had to consider people from the Nefa family such as Polamene and Eusofah.
Do these two people have the ability to be the king of Vistapa and lead Vistapa to climb higher mountains?
Bernal suddenly knelt on one knee.
He clasped his hands together and placed them in front of his forehead.
"Lady Sword Princess, thank you for your company over the years. Without you, we Snow Tower people would never have been able to live in peace until now. Without you, I would not have been able to successfully take over the position of chief of the Snow Tower tribe. Without you, I would not have been able to stand in Vestapa and share my true thoughts with you."
Alsophila spinulosa seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
Bernal continued, "I think after all this, I can only live for another month at most. In this last month, I want to be willful again and take away those who may cause Vistapa to fall into turmoil. After I die, I will let Eldino come out to clean up the mess, abolish the regulations I promulgated, show favors, and take over power as smoothly as possible."
Eldino is his eldest son, and Alsophila's swordsmanship apprentice.
Alsophila wrote hastily: [This will completely ruin your reputation. ]
Bernal shook his head: "This kind of thing is not important. I don't care what other people think. I only care whether what I do can make Verstappa stable."
If those ambitious people were killed, even if Vistapa would still fall into civil war after his death, the scale of the war would definitely be much smaller.
You...take care of it yourself.
Alsophila spinulosa gave a long sigh.
She had no idea about political facts, and at first, she opposed Bernal's seizure of power in Vistapa, but Bernal did a good job. Under his rule, Vistapa's population grew, business prospered, and the number of local bandits decreased significantly.
At this time, she was thinking that if those parliamentarians and officials fully cooperated with Bernal, Vistapa would surely usher in a more prosperous era than the reign of Queen Ingrid.
