Chapter 1 This is the last lesson, Your Majesty

The former prosperity of the imperial capital no longer exists. People huddle in their homes, hearing the shouting and roaring in their ears, and tremblingly praying to the gods and kings they know.

Pray that I can survive this turmoil.

The firelight outside the house has completely replaced the moonlight.

Only the huge and complex buildings on both sides of the street can tell something about the past glory of this majestic city.

The residents were trembling in their homes, and the soldiers were no different. The intensity and scale of the war far exceeded their imagination.

The war was caused by the royalists who were unwilling to die in silence and launched a last-ditch fight.

The royalists are convinced that their only chance to turn the tables is to kill the opposing leader - the Duke of the South!

The Southern Duke's faction also intends to support the Duke to ascend the throne and completely eradicate these ignorant remnants of the old era.

But at the beginning of the war, neither the royalists nor the dukes expected that the other side's resistance would be so fierce.

As soon as the war started, the entire imperial capital was in tatters.

Looking at the palace that had been attacked for a long time and the blood and corpses lying all around.

The Nan Fang Jue faction were all looking for a figure who should have appeared long ago with worried looks on their faces.

"Where's the Archduke?"

"Where is the Archduke?"

"Has the Duke of Westeros not arrived yet?"

Without the Grand Duke as the supreme authority, there are many things they cannot do.

Moreover, the main force and high-level extraordinary people directly under the Grand Duke are not in the imperial capital at all!

The Grand Duke transferred all of his troops back to the southern border and the border.

As a result, the palace could not be captured for a long time.

Those guys picked a great time!
Similarly, they couldn't understand why they had reached the front of the palace but still had no news of the Queen.

The core of the two factions are the Queen and the Duke of the Southern Territory.

At this moment, they gathered together beyond everyone's expectations.

In a secluded manor.

The young queen took off the elf robe she used to conceal her whereabouts, revealing her slightly immature but still very eye-catching figure. After letting out a long breath, she could not help but said to the Duke in front of her with excitement:
"Teacher, I have launched a war according to your request. It is just as you said. All the rebels have jumped out and are planning to support you to ascend the throne!"

After saying this, the young queen looked at the flames in the sky timidly:

"But, teacher, can you really end this well?"

The Duke bowed slightly and said:
"Your Majesty, I have said before, just leave everything to me. I am the only heir of the Westeros family, so I will always keep the creed of the Westeros family in mind!"

The Queen and the Duke both uttered the ancient motto of the House of Westeros at the same time:

"Westeros will always be Baratheon's sword and shield!"

This is also what the Duke said to the Queen during his first audience with her.

But at that time, the Queen did not believe the Duke.

The Queen patted her chest with a sigh of relief and said:

"That's good. This incident is really too big. Although I have always believed in the teacher, I am really afraid that something unexpected will happen and all the teacher's efforts over the years will be wasted."

The young queen was not worried about the fall of her country, nor was she worried that her situation would become extremely dangerous, nor was she worried about whether she would lose her head. Her only worry was that her teacher's years of hard work would be completely in vain.

The Duke knelt on one knee in front of the Queen and took out a pitch-black dagger from his arms.

The darkness on this dagger is deep and terrifying.

Just by looking at it, the queen was slightly frightened.

"teacher?"

The Duke looked at the dagger in his hand and said:
"Your Majesty, I have helped you integrate the army and eliminate the warlords. After tonight, you only need to follow the steps I have told you to take back the military power."

The Queen nodded lightly.

Military power has actually always been in the hands of the Duke, but the Duke's generals are basically in the imperial capital at this moment.

After tonight, many obstacles will disappear in an instant.

Just follow the steps.

"Then, you don't need to worry about economic issues. I have already prepared the corresponding accounts for the major chambers of commerce in the country, manors in various places, important ports, etc. After tonight, you can receive them according to the accounts."

"I have taught you what to do next."

The Queen continued to nod:

"Well, teacher, I remember everything you taught me!"

Looking at the queen who was looking forward to his boasting with pride, the Duke smiled softly and continued:

"In terms of politics, you have already seen who are the treacherous ministers and who are the loyal ministers tonight. I think there is no need for me to say more about what to do after tonight."

"Teacher, don't worry. You have taught me for so many years. I know what to do!"

The queen waved her fist with confidence.

She doesn't look like a queen, but more like a lively and active good student who craves the teacher's recognition.

"After tonight, the other six dukes of the Seven Realms will have been completely suppressed by me. You only need to show some favor to let them help you solve the problems of the Seven Realms. But please remember that the other six dukes can be used but not trusted, and they cannot be used for important tasks."

The Queen nodded repeatedly:

"Teacher, don't worry, Baratheon will only believe in Westeros!"

The Duke chuckled again at the Queen's remarks.

Amidst the laughter, the Queen looked uneasily at the dark dagger in the Duke's hand and said:

"Teacher, how are you going to calm down tonight?"

The Royal Party and the Public Party have gone to war.

The fierce fighting in the imperial capital is just the beginning and by no means the end. The forces outside the imperial capital should be involved one after another.

The scale of the war will only get bigger and bigger. How will the teacher end it all?

Moreover, the teacher's words made the queen more uneasy. These words did not seem like instructions, but more like...
In response to the Queen's questions and gaze, the Duke gently handed the dark dagger to the Queen:

"It's very simple. Just die!"

"Didn't you tell everyone the answer from the beginning?"

The Queen's hand holding the dagger trembled subconsciously.

The pitch-black dagger was about to fall off in the violent shaking, but before it fell off, the Duke covered the Queen's hand with both hands and held down the trembling hand.

"Teacher, are you kidding? Didn't we agree that this was just a reason for me to start this war?"

The Queen looked at her teacher in disbelief.

How could this be? !

But it can’t be like this!

She would rather abdicate!
No, I would rather die!
The glory and power from Baratheon and this country were just a beautiful decoration to her.

The only person she cares about and the only person she has is her teacher!

The Duke, who was still kneeling on the ground, looked at the Queen and said:
"I never said that was all."

Looking at the Duke in front of her, the panic in the Queen's eyes slowly turned into determination.

The good student is finally starting to act like a queen!

But before the Queen could speak, the Duke said with a smile:

"Please forgive my intrusion. I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere."

This completely wiped out the determination in the Queen's eyes, and the good student instantly changed back to normal.

"Teacher, you scared me!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, but Your Majesty, I must die! Ah, and please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have made preparations. This dagger is just a bluff."

Looking at the slightly suspicious Queen, the Duke struck while the iron was hot and said:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I am not comfortable letting Your Majesty face all this alone in the future. I will have to keep a close eye on Your Majesty!"

This remark reassured the queen a lot, but she still carefully stroked the dagger in her hand. She couldn't feel the difference of this dagger. This made her not dare to completely trust her teacher.

The Duke was naturally aware of the Queen's concerns, but he just said:

"Your Majesty, you can't see the problem? Of course, otherwise how can I make others believe that I am really dead?"

The queen, whose thoughts were revealed, directly expressed her worries:

"Teacher, are you really not lying to me? This dagger is destined to bring death to me no matter how I look at it!"

Destined Death, Sealed Item 1-001, the ultimate weapon that is said to have killed gods.

"Your Majesty, Sealed Artifact 1-001 has long been lost in the spirit world. This is just an exquisite fake that I spent a lot of effort on."

Finally, the Duke uttered the words of the hammer:

"Your Majesty, you should remember that I have never lied to you!"

This statement as a fact completely calmed the Queen's doubtful heart.

Yes, her teacher never lied to herself.

I have never fooled myself, a useless vase princess.

Moreover, if it were not for my own teachers, this country and even myself would have been submerged in the torrent of history due to the conspiracy of one or several people.

It was his teacher who pulled this crumbling ancient empire back, and it was also his teacher who always protected him, a vase with only blood.

Therefore, as the last descendant of Baratheon, she doesn't care about the glory and power of Baratheon, nor does she care about this country, because these things did not belong to her, the last queen who was supposed to be a puppet, from the beginning.

It was her teacher who slowly pieced it all back together for her.

All she really had was this teacher who loved her so much.

My teacher has never lied to me once!
So, the Queen believed it again.

The Duke knew that it was enough, so he let go of the Queen's hand, pointed to his heart and said:

"I am the same as you, both are Sequence 2 angels. Come, stab me in the heart. This is just an exquisite fake. It cannot kill an angel."

The Queen held the dagger in her hand but did not stab it forward.

This made the Duke slightly puzzled, and then the Duke, who understood everything, smiled and said:

"You can't let all my efforts go to waste for such a ridiculous reason, right?"

The Queen merely resisted harming the Duke.

"Your Majesty, please look outside. Time is running out!"

After hearing these words, the Queen, who was worried that all her teacher's efforts had gone to waste, gritted her teeth and stabbed the Duke's heart with the dagger in her hand.

Once the palace was breached, the teacher's efforts would naturally be in vain.

But just as the dagger completely pierced the Duke's heart.

The Queen realized the truth.

This is not some exquisite fake, this is definitely a real destined death!

That evil weapon that once killed gods!

Because she could feel that the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence One in her body were activating crazily.

She completed the Sequence 1 ritual of the Path of Glory, and she killed another powerful enemy of the same path and sequence!
This is definitely not something that can be fooled by faking your death!

She really killed her teacher?!
But, when did I take the Sequence 1 potion? And why didn't I notice it before?
After a brief moment of confusion, the queen remembered that earlier today, it was here that she drank a bowl of hot porridge.

It was cooked for her by the teacher herself. Although she didn't know what porridge was, since it was made by the teacher herself, she naturally drank it.

It doesn’t have much taste, but it makes you feel warm all over.

So, that's the potion?!

But how could the potion remain silent for so long?
But before the queen could think deeply, the warm touch spreading on her hand woke her up completely.

"teacher?!"

The queen came to her senses and immediately wanted to pull out the destined death. The angel could no longer be considered a human being, and the blood loss from pulling out the dagger was definitely not as fatal as leaving the destined death.

As long as he could pull out the dagger, perhaps he could save his teacher.

But the Duke held the Queen's hand tightly and kept pressing it down.

The dagger was no longer piercing the Duke's heart, it was piercing the Queen's heart!

"Why, teacher?"

The queen knelt down and cried out these words.

The Duke, who held the Queen's hands tightly, chuckled and said:
"This matter cannot be covered up by faking your own death. If you want to gain this country safely, you must become Sequence One. Therefore, I must die!"

The Queen, realizing that the outcome was already decided, gave up struggling. She just looked at the Duke with puzzled eyes and said:
"I'm asking why you do this?"

The Duke laughed and said:

"Westeros will always be the sword and shield of Baratheon."

"I don't agree, I can't accept it, please tell me I can still save you, please! Please!"

Looking at the Queen crying helplessly in front of him, the Duke raised his hand with difficulty and gently stroked the Queen's messy hair. He then leaned his completely powerless body on the Queen's shoulder and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, I can only teach you once more."

"That is, you must never trust anyone without reservation, even if that person is a minister!"

"My dear Princess, this is the last lesson."

In the Duke's last lesson, the princess finally became the queen.

The princess gained everything, the queen lost everything.
-
Moon, intoxicated, took off his virtual helmet. Everything that had just happened disappeared.

Thinking back to the Queen crying helplessly while hugging 'him', Moon was so excited that his scalp was numb.

"Art, art! It is a perfect piece of art!"

As he spoke, Moon opened a can of happy water to celebrate.

After taking a sip, Moon discovered the only flaw.

That is, the happy water in your hand has changed from cold drink to room temperature.

As we all know, out of the three-yuan price of Fat House Happy Water, two-and-a-half yuan is spent on the first sip, and if it’s a cold drink, then two-and-a-half yuan is spent on the first sip!

This is probably the only regret.

Thinking of this, Moon couldn't help but touch his chest. Then he looked at the virtual helmet in front of him.

It should be just this, right?
After shaking his head and putting down the happy water, Moon gave his own evaluation in the game evaluation report as usual.

It's still such a free and perfect game!

Just like before, Moon's evaluation report was submitted and the production team's reply followed.

'What have you done?! Your mission is to kill the princess or queen, and then severely overthrow this crumbling country! Look at what you have done?'

Moen smiled and said:
"Don't be angry. Being able to complete the game despite going completely against the mission objective shows that you did a great job!"

They clearly made corresponding endings and branch options, but they were still angry that they didn't follow the predetermined goal. This production team is really arrogant!
Production Team:
'How many times has this happened?!'

Moen scratched his head and said:

'I forget too, too many times.'

For the first time, the production team did not respond immediately to Moon's answer.

After a long silence, Moon, who was still hesitating whether to call for help, finally received the other party's reply:
'You will regret this! '

Mo En, who was afraid that the other party would be angry to death by him, finally put his mind at ease and said:

'Don't worry, I won't regret it. You can't sue me for playing the game according to my own ideas, right? Hahaha!'

It was just a joke but it brought a reply that made Moon shudder.

'They are all real!'

Seeing this, Moon hugged himself unconsciously.
