(The last chapter used mobile phone codewords, so Miklos’ Luo character was inexplicably typed into Luo...Please don’t care about this small mistake.)

"I curse you, Miklos, I curse you with everything I have!"

Looking at Queen Audrey, who was controlled by the Imperial Guard soldiers, the noble woman screamed in anger, but Miklos didn’t care at all. He smiled and said faintly: "Your Majesty, please Sign the surrender document, for the lives of everyone here, and for all the residents of Nord City."

"Impossible!" Queen Audrey held her arrogant head stubbornly, and refused Miklos' unreasonable request. The latter was not angry, but gave a sinister laugh, as if she was inadvertently mentioned. Only son Simon: "His Royal Highness, I can't guarantee that if you don't cooperate, the weak Prince Simon will face any danger."

"you!"

"His Royal Highness, as long as you sign the surrender document, not only can we live safely, but Prince Simon can also survive. You certainly don't want to see Prince Simon captured by Richard and tortured by the most cruel torture, right?"

"But how do you guarantee that Richard will not turn his face after we surrender?" It seemed that it would be useless to know how to struggle. Queen Audrey finally stopped struggling and calmly looked at Miklos and asked.

"He did not execute this traitor who had betrayed his family after capturing Flvio, who was blocked by his army when he fled six years ago. Instead, he just put him in the dungeon. Such a man who did not kill the traitor painfully, Is it possible to raise a butcher knife against those who voluntarily surrender?"

"However, His Majesty the King died in his hands!" Queen Audrey said through gritted teeth.

"His Royal Highness, His Majesty the King died on the battlefield. He was not executed after surrendering. What's more, his enemy is His Majesty the King. Now that His Majesty is dead, what reason does he have to attack the innocent you?"

"This..." Seeing that Queen Audrey was said to start to hesitate, Miklos took advantage of the victory and pursued, and then said: "We are taking the initiative to surrender the city. If Richard does it without convicting us, he must To bear the name of a tyrant is very detrimental to the rule of a new king. I believe he will not do such stupid things."

"..."

Queen Audrey fell into silence, Miklos did not continue to try to persuade her, and turned to look at Mild, who was also controlled. The diplomat who did not deal with him no longer had the prestige before, like a dead dog. Limped in the chair, when Miklos looked at him, a trace of panic flashed across his face.

Miklos chuckled secretly in his heart, and then asked teasingly: "Your Excellency Mild, I wonder if you have any ideas?"

"No, no." Mild said, shaking his head, and then said with a begging tone: "Your Excellency Miklos, I am not opposed to your surrender, so you should let me go."

"Let you go? Why did your lord Mild say that, you can leave here anytime." Miklos said with a puzzled expression.

"Hahaha..." Mild laughed bitterly, and said: "Your Excellency Miklos, I can satisfy you what you want. As long as you let me go, I will give you what you need as soon as you go back. ."

"I don't need anything, I just need you to stay with us until you surrender to Richard."

"You." Mild was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to show it. Now I am a fish and I have to be softened. He also knew that he had been planted this time, and once he fell into Richard's hands, he, a veteran figure who had participated in the rebellion, would definitely be dragged out for a crime.

At this moment, Queen Audrey finally thought about it. She looked at Miklos and said bitterly: "Your Excellency Miklos, please bring the surrender document. I will replace it as the court regent. Signed by the royal family."

"You made a wise decision, Your Royal Highness."

...

Half an hour later, when the artillery and trebuchet stopped firing and the infantry was about to launch an attack, the damaged city gate slowly opened from the inside, and Queen Audrey, who was dressed in a black robe, led Simon, who was only 15 years old. The prince walked in front, followed by a four-man cabinet and depressed soldiers.

"What are they doing?"

"Have the defenders finally decided to surrender?"

"I hope this is true, I don't want to charge that **** wall anymore."

The discussion sounded one after another in Richard’s army. The soldiers craned their necks to look at the team that slowly walked out, but most people’s eyes fell on the head of Queen Audrey. As for the reason...everyone knows it.

Under the gaze of everyone, the marching team rushed out with horses, and the knight rushed towards Richard's army and stopped a few tens of meters in front of the army~lightnovelpub.net~ Turned over and dismounted, lowered his head, and shouted: "The great protector of the Kingdom of Ravana, Duke Cuban, Richard Stuart, and Audrey Turt, the court regent of the Kingdom of Winster In the name of Her Royal Highness, I surrender to you. I hope you can abide by the noble law and treat all the royal family members and nobles who surrender."

"Surrendered?" Listening to the voice of the envoy of Winster in front of the battle, Richard glanced suspiciously at the lieutenant next to Kondela. Seeing that the latter nodded affirmatively, he drove his horse out of the army and addressed the man. The messenger said: "I am the Protector of the Kingdom of Ravana, Duke of Cuban, and Richard Stuart, the legal claimant of the Kingdom of Winster. Please tell me what your surrender conditions are."

"Your Excellency the Duke, in the name of Queen Audrey, the court regent, we have no conditions. We only hope that you can treat every resident of Nord City fairly."

"I accept your surrender, messenger." Richard nodded, then remembered one thing, and added: "However, those who participated in the rebellion six years ago must be severely punished."

"This is your legal right, honorable Duke." The messenger said.

After that, Richard released the messenger to return. The messenger rode back to the team, and the surrendering team continued to advance until it stopped less than ten meters away from Richard's army. Then, the court Regent Queen Audrey led her 15-year-old prince, leading four cabinet members and two entourages holding the kingdom flag and family flag to Richard.

Looking at the young Richard sitting on the war horse, Queen Audrey was filled with mixed feelings. She bent her knees slightly, lowered her head, and said respectfully:

"Your Excellency, in the name of the court regent, I, Audrey Turt, surrender to you on behalf of the royal family..."
