Chapter 1352
Marina decided to meet the people in person, of course not for the purpose of making them feel the friendliness of the royal family. In this kind of war years, the death of hundreds of civilians is nothing at all, even in the main city. If the royal family has to come forward every time, then the royal family is really too busy.
Originally, this matter did not need Malina to come forward, just ask a minister to deal with it and it would be over. Of course, Malina came forward in person to attack Li Huailin. Everyone knows that the people must be very angry now, and of course they are preparing to severely punish the perpetrators. Marina hoped that they would make a fuss, and then she took advantage of the situation and agreed to severely punish the perpetrators. In this way, even if Anthony returns, she can have Reasons to shirk.
Marina knew that Anthony would definitely protect Li Huailin, so she set the tone first. Of course, what the royal family said could not be regretted, but could only be carried out. Then she could also say, "I can only agree to the situation at that time. ", can put all the responsibility on the common people who are making trouble, and use the means of the common people, Marina is very skilled.
After thinking about all this, Marina set off. The location is the square at the junction of the inner city and the outer city. Because the law stipulates that ordinary people cannot enter the inner city, so even if the people parade, they can only go to the gate of the inner city. If so, it's not a parade, but a rebellion. Although the people are angry, they don't want to rebel, so they just block the gates of the inner city to ask for an explanation.
The people now still don’t know who did it. Although Li Huailin and Ke Luo talked about publishing their names, but because Anthony hasn’t come back, Ke Luo here doesn’t dare to do it like this Well, always ask Anthony. However, because it was not announced, the common people probably guessed what was going on. It must have been done by a noble from a certain empire. Because if it was just ordinary people, it would definitely be announced immediately, and it hasn't been announced yet. That means that the empire has not yet discussed what to do, and may want to protect this nobleman. It's not like they haven't seen this kind of thing before. Of course, they will put pressure on it first. If it can be done, then let's talk.
In fact, many people also know that even if the empire really wants to protect the criminals, they have nothing to do. You can't really rebel, right? They came here to put pressure, except that the family of the deceased came here sincerely to ask for an explanation. Most people still look at the empire’s compensation. If your home was bombed, you must compensate. Seeing us making trouble like this, you must compensate more.
Of course, there are more boring people, because the status of the common people is too low, so many people who are unwilling to see this situation want to see the nobles lose face. You said that the nobles should always apologize for such things, you can see It's so cool to see the nobleman apologize, so there are still people who come here who have nothing to do with him at all. Just mixed in to see the lively people.
No matter what the reason is, there are really many people who come anyway, at least 3000 people. Standing densely on the inner city square, this square is very interesting, because it is a square at the junction of the inner city and the outer city. The lower half belongs to the outer city, which is a place where ordinary people can stay, and there is a high platform above it. , it is in the inner city, generally speaking, the aristocrats in the inner city choose this place if they have something to announce, and they can stand on it and talk to the people below.
That's the way it is now. The platform above is already full of royal guards, and some people can also be seen from the armor worn by the soldiers. This group of people seems to belong to the Royal Guard. Could it be that... the people who came this time are not small? Could it be that the emperor came in person?
The people were a little quieter. Because the current emperor Anthony is still a good emperor, at least more reliable than the previous Rein, because the former Rein basically didn't care about things, and his treacherous minister Philmut basically didn't give people a way to survive. That kind, if you switch to Anthony, he will at least work hard to govern the country, and everyone can still see the results.
Of course, this is why they dared to protest, because Anthony was a good emperor, so they dared to come. If it was changed to the previous Rein era, who would dare to come here? As soon as the parade went out, he was caught and killed by Philmut's people. And Anthony, who looked kind and friendly, seemed easy to bully, so they came.
Looking back to the inner city square, Queen Marina has arrived at the scene at this time. Of course, this time it is a regular trip. Anthony probably has received a report and may come back at any time. She must hurry up and set the tone of the matter first. After coming down, there was no rest, Marina started to work directly, first of all, of course, to meet.
Seeing Malina appearing on the high platform above, the people below were instantly excited. Of course they knew Malina. This is not only the queen of the current dynasty, but also the princess of the previous dynasty, but it is a very special existence. See Emperor Anthony himself, but of course Marina is fine too, of course she is qualified to speak on behalf of the royal family.
Marina's appearance caused a little commotion at the scene, but the guard over there yelled a few words, and the scene immediately fell silent, and everyone was waiting for Marina's speech.
"Everyone who came here, first of all, please allow me to apologize to everyone on behalf of the royal family." Marina here slightly lowered her head while talking. This is already a great gift for a queen. There is no need to do this. Of course, this is done now to set the tone. In other words, this is what the royal family did wrong, and future discussions will start in this direction.
The people were very excited, and the royal family actually bowed their heads. This has not happened for decades. While they were in a good mood, they also felt that this time was really the right time. You nodded your head when you looked at the queen.
"First of all, let me report the situation of this incident." Marina said, so Marina also briefly explained the situation of the incident that she now knows. Of course, the purpose of saying this is mainly to introduce the cause of this incident. The mastermind is Li Huailin.
"...After a preliminary investigation, the reason for this incident was that the Duke of Aquitaine had an accident caused by Ruobin's sword skills in the arena and the adventurer. In other words, the perpetrator this time was Aquitaine. Duke..." Marina emphasized this sentence very much, so that the people would understand who destroyed their house.
Sure enough, after one sentence, the people immediately exploded.
"What, the Duke of Aquitaine did it?"
"My lord, is this true?"
"It's true." Marina nodded earnestly, "This incident was indeed done by the Duke of Aquitaine himself, because the Duke of Aquitaine himself will marry the eldest princess soon, so he can be regarded as a half royal family member. Yes, so I also apologize to everyone on behalf of the royal family, and, although the Duke of Aquitaine is now considered half of the royal family, we will not because of..."
Before Marina had finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of cheers below, the cheers were so enthusiastic that Marina couldn't even speak.
"Did you hear that? My house was actually blown up by the Duke of Aquitaine."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that it was the Duke of Aquitaine who did it. That's great. All four of my younger brothers were crushed to death by the collapsed house. This is all thanks to the Duke of Aquitaine. I really appreciate it." I don’t know how to thank the Duke.”
"Long live the Duke!" Although it was not known who was in charge, the common people suddenly shouted in unison, a situation that almost turned the sky upside down.
"Wait, wait..." Marina was stunned for a long time, and then couldn't help shouting
The people paused for a while, after all, the queen was still there.
"No, what's the matter with you? Didn't you come to seek an explanation from the person who caused this incident?" Marina asked inexplicably.
"Yes." All the people nodded.
"Then why are you acting like you are thanking the Duke of Aquitaine?" Marina asked, "Shouldn't you ask the royal family to punish the perpetrators?"
"Huh?" All the people were stunned for a while, and one of the people who looked older stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the Duke has done such a great thing, and the royal family has to punish him. Why?"
"Yeah, why should the Duke be punished!"
"My lord duke killed my whole family just now. I will be the first to refuse to anyone who dares to touch my lord duke."
"Yeah, we don't agree!" The crowd erupted suddenly, everyone respected and loved the Duke, the Duke who forced them to be displaced and homeless would be punished by the royal family, why is that, it's just heavenly It's not fair, even the common people who came to see the theater by themselves refused to agree, because the duke was so kind to them.
"..." Looking at the angry look of this group, Marina here didn't know what to say. What's going on? Is this group of people crazy or she is crazy? It's not that your house was bombed. You guys are still coming to oppose me now, how can this matter make sense?
Malina doesn't know how Li Huailin did it, but she doesn't know why she always feels that these people really support Li Huailin sincerely, and now Li Huailin feels closer than their own father.
The current situation is completely beyond Marina's imagination. She still can't understand what happened, but one thing can be confirmed anyway, that is, things seem to be out of Marina's control. The common people are now starting to feel disgusted with the royal family. Regarding the punishment of Li Huailin, they really want to ask the royal family for an explanation.
