After confirming that his father was indeed dead, Katharine fainted on the spot.

When Katharin woke up, it was already the next morning. Katharin suddenly sat up, looked around, remembering what happened last night, her face turned pale, jumped out of the bed, and ran out of the door. As soon as she ran to the door, she ran into Lanni who was coming in. Katharin staggered and almost fell down. Lanni was startled and quickly supported Katharin.

"Princess, please take a rest!" Lanni said worriedly.

Kathryn grabbed Lanny's arm and asked anxiously: "How is my father? How is my father?"

Lanni couldn't help but show her sadness and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor has gone! Now the Empress is holding a funeral for Your Majesty in the main hall!"

Kathryn pushed Lanny away and ran towards the main hall.

Katharine ran into the hall and saw her father lying in the middle of the hall from afar, with a priest chanting eulogies beside her. Katharine was stunned, rushed up, and rushed to her father and cried. Everyone attending the funeral could not help but feel empathy.

After Katharin cried for a while, Slan, as the queen, stepped forward and helped Katharin aside, whispering comfort.

The main ministers of the Ross Empire and the heads of the important nobles all came, and the atmosphere was back. However, one thing was strange. The eldest and third princes, as Peter Cay's son, were not here.

After the ceremony, Queen Slan announced with a grief and anger: "The eldest prince, the third prince, as the royal family, his majesty's parent-child, actually sent someone to assassinate His Majesty last night! I, the Empress of the Empire, here I swore that this traitor would avenge Your Majesty!!"

As soon as the queen said this, the hall was in full swing. The ministers were talking, some cursing loudly, and some whispering.

Kathryn said in disbelief: "How could the eldest brother and third brother do such a thing?!"

The queen sighed and said, "I didn't believe it at first! But the evidence is conclusive!" Then the queen ordered people to bring two men in black covered with blood.

As soon as the man in black was taken to the hall, one of them cursed at the queen, "You witch woman! Your Highness the Prince will definitely tear you into pieces!"

The queen sneered: "I hope he appears now! I'll ask you, who sent you to assassinate His Majesty?"

"Mystery! If you want to kill, I don't know anything!"

The queen shook a look at a guard next to her. The latter understood and immediately pulled out his sword and cut off the man's head without saying a word. The nobles present were stunned and then they were as chaotic as if they had encountered a weasel's flock.

"What's upset?! Quiet!!" the queen shouted coldly, and there was a momentum that was not far behind Peter Kay.

Everyone was startled and immediately calmed down. The old minister, Gorgins, exchanged a surprised look with General Babulov.

The queen glanced coldly at everyone in the hall, and everyone couldn't help but avoid her eyes. "You are all important officials of the empire, and you are so panicked when you encounter something. What's the point of being so polite!"

The queen withdrew her gaze, glanced at another man in black who was kneeling in front of her, and asked calmly: "Now tell me, who sent you?" The man in black couldn't help but glance at the bloody companion next to her, shocked, and hurriedly said: "Yes, it was the eldest prince who sent us! We are just doing our orders, and ask the queen to spare my life!"

When they heard this, the scene was in anger and people were full of righteous indignation to denounce the eldest prince.

The queen signaled everyone to calm down and continued to ask: "Who else besides the eldest prince?"

The man in black shook his head and said, "It's the eldest prince!" Seeing the cold light flashing in the queen's eyes, the man in black was shocked and hurriedly said, "And, there's more~! By the way, before the villain left the eldest prince's headquarters, I heard that the eldest prince sent Glov to find the third prince! As for what happened, the young man really didn't know!"

Babulov and Goggins couldn't help but frown, but didn't say anything.

The queen ordered people to take the man in black down and called Drov, the general of the garrison army, and ordered him to lead the garrison army to immediately capture the eldest prince and the third prince involved in the case.

Although some of the ministers thought that things were a bit strange, they didn't dare to say anything.

Kathryn didn't care at all about what happened in front of her, she just felt that everyone in front of her was so ugly.

Kathryn stayed with her father until she was placed in the royal cemetery.

Katharine stood quietly in front of her father's cemetery, looking sad and memory-like. At this time, there were only a dozen iron wall guards such as Xu Zheng who were responsible for protecting her.

"Father, Katharin will leave in a few days. Maybe she will never come back to see you. Take care of you!" Katharin said sadly, knelt down and kissed the grass under her feet, stood up, took out a brocade bag from her waist, grabbed a handful of soil from her father's tombstone, and carefully put it in. "Father, my daughter is gone!" After the words came, Katharin turned his head and walked quickly outside the cemetery.

Back at the bedroom, Katharin asked everyone to clean up the salute and then left. Before leaving, Katharin looked back at the "home" that brought her many childhood laughter with a look of melancholy.

Katharine returned to the State Guesthouse to meet with the brigade, and immediately sent a deputy envoy to inform Rose.

Half an hour later, Catherine and her group left the city from the east gate of Petersburg.

At this time, Queen Slan sent an army to pursue the eldest prince to fight with the eldest prince dozens of miles north of Petersburg. The army to pursue the eldest prince was defeated. On the same day, while the eldest prince returned to Petersburg, one of his close confidants was also secretly heading to Petersburg. At that time, the eldest prince planned to use this army to help him seize the throne. He did not intend to send someone to assassinate his father, but he obtained information and said that Hui was

The father, who had a little spiritual sense, intended to make the little prince the emperor, which made the eldest prince angry and shocked. Without confirming the authenticity of this information, the eldest prince sent a team of elite troops to launch a raid on Peterkai's bedroom. What he did not expect was that the action was unexpectedly smooth. Afterwards, he realized something was wrong, the eldest prince led his close guards to escape from Peterborough overnight. Shortly after joining with his close confidant army, he had a fierce battle with the chasing garrison.

The furious eldest prince decided to fight back to Petersburg despite the opposition of his confidants.

Before the evening of that day, the eldest prince led his confidant army to the city of Petersburg, under the banner of restoring orthodoxy and eliminating rebellion.

Queen Slan put on military uniforms at this critical moment and personally climbed the city wall. This move inspired the morale of the garrison.

The eldest prince ordered the siege of the city without success in persuading surrender.

Petersburg is a strong city that Peterkai has been running for decades, and it was impossible for the eldest prince to capture it in a hurry. The eldest prince's troops spent five days under the city of Petersburg, losing thousands of troops, but they did not get any results. At this time, the little food and grass they carried with them were almost exhausted. What's more serious is that according to the scout's report, the two main legions led by Slan's brother Framo were less than a hundred miles away from Petersburg.

That night, just as the eldest prince was about to go to bed, his confidant general Koresky rushed into the tent and reported urgently: "Your Highness, a secret envoy has come from the city!"

The eldest prince sat up and said in surprise: "The secret envoy from the city?!"

Koresky nodded, "Your Highness, do you want to see him?"

"Of course I'll see you! Come in quickly!"

Koresky agreed and retreated.

The eldest prince quickly sat upright.

Koresky brought a Ross man in black uniform into the big tent, pointed at the eldest prince and said to the man: "This is His Highness the Great Prince! Just tell me what you have!"
