I'm really a serious wizard.

Chapter 187 This is definitely a shill, right?

buzzing-

The heavy sound of the horns, rising from low to high, heralded the sorrowful departure of the former king.

As early as a week ago, rumors had already spread, causing a great uproar among the residents of the capital.

Of course, Ron once said,
Death is inevitable for everyone; it can be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai.

The king's death was relatively minor; at least when rumors started circulating, no one discussed the cause of his death.
Instead, more people are discussing which of his two sons will inherit the throne, and most people are divided into two factions on this matter.

Some people believe that it is good for Catherine to inherit the throne because the Heinleit family has few offspring, and she will inevitably marry a husband and have children.

This means an opportunity to soar to great heights.

Others, however, were quite interested in the prince, thinking that Lyle Hainlet, having been pampered since childhood, must be very young and inexperienced.
What am I thinking?!

Ron shook the golden retriever's head repeatedly, forcibly stopping his overactive imagination, and shifted his gaze from the former king's coffin to the face of the grief-stricken princess.

This is the first step of the coronation ceremony.

The coffin of the former king was carried at the head of the procession by four professionals.

Behind the coffin was a large, ornately decorated carriage without a roof.

It was being pulled along by ten horse-like creatures, each with a single horn on its head and no stray hairs.

Inside the carriage was Catherine, dressed in the queen's attire.

On either side of the giant carriage stood squads of royal guards in formal attire.

On the outermost edge are the heavily armored knights maintaining the defensive formation. They are in squads of ten, led by two deputy legion commanders at the front and side.

As for Ron, he followed behind the giant carriage with a long sword at his waist.

He glanced around and noticed that many of the onlookers were familiar faces.

It seems the president has really gone all out, mobilizing so many people for fieldwork.
Seeing this, Ron was relieved.

This one's definitely in the bag!

But just then, a thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly saw a middle-aged man sitting casually in the middle of the street, blocking the way of the huge convoy.

The figure had an extremely elaborate hairstyle, wore patched clothes, and held a white bread filled with cream in his hand. He remained unmoved in the face of the legion of hundreds of knights behind him.

A gentle breeze blew by, causing the few remaining strands of hair on his head to flutter in the wind. Accompanied by the sound of smacking his lips, an aura of invincible dominance arose spontaneously.

Such a powerful aura! This must be a fifth-tier expert!

Ron was astonished, unable to believe that someone could be so audacious.

He was about to step forward to protect the princess when he saw Catherine lift her skirt and step down from the carriage. Without any warning, she walked up to the "master pastry chef" and then loudly proclaimed:

"Oh, citizen of the Kingdom of Oran, what are you doing here?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and was clearly startled to see that it was Catherine herself who had come.

He waved the white bread filled with cream in his hand, trying to make sure everyone could see it, and said with a flattered expression:

"Oh, my esteemed king, I am from out of town. Please forgive me for being so engrossed in eating that I have blocked the way for the caravan."

"To be honest, I never thought there would be such delicious food in the capital. I can't afford white bread with cream back home."

"It's too expensive; my wife and children have never tried it."

The bald man said with a sad expression.

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Catherine's eyes. Seemingly moved by the man's words, she pursed her lips and comforted him, saying:
"Don't worry, it will happen."

Then, Catherine suddenly raised her voice and addressed the onlookers from the capital: "Not only him, but as your king, I have an obligation to ensure that every person in the Kingdom of Oran can eat white bread with cream!"

"This is my responsibility, and even more so, the trust placed in me by the citizens of the kingdom!"

The crowd fell silent for a moment, then erupted in deafening cheers.

The endless stream of praise for the new king made the blond boy's ears ache.

Ron: (_)

Bah, dirty politics.

Alright, regardless, Miss Wang's intentions were good.

However, given the current level of production in this feudal society, it would be very difficult for everyone to have white bread without large-scale reforms.
I would like to help you, but unfortunately I don't know anything about mechanical manufacturing.

Ron was muttering to himself, still reeling from the fact that the princess had actually hired someone, when a commotion suddenly broke out in the cheering crowd.

"Get out of the way, all of you, get out of the way!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please help me! I beg for your mercy and compassion!"

At this moment, a woman squeezed out of the crowd, trying to stop Catherine like the "Master of Cakes".

Unfortunately, her imagination was beautiful, but reality was cruel. She hadn't even taken two steps before she was blocked by heavily armored knights and subdued.

What, you actually went and reported it when I told you to?
For some reason, a sentence suddenly flashed through Ron's mind.

Fortunately, Catherine wasn't so cold; instead, she gave the order with considerable authority:

"You guys step back first."

The heavily armored knight hesitated, because this was different from the notification he had received.
However, due to orders from his superior's superior's superior, they could only step back two meters and stand on either side of the woman.

"Judging from your appearance, you're from the capital?"

"Whatever your problem is, I will not let the people of the kingdom lose justice."

Miss Wang walked gracefully, maintaining a distance of three meters from the woman, and calmly scrutinized her.

To be honest, although Catherine appeared calm and collected, she was actually quite nervous inside because these were not the people who had been arranged in advance.

The woman lowered her head and sobbed, a sight that saddened all who heard it and brought tears to their eyes.

After a long while, she whispered:

"Your Majesty, please make your judgment."

“My husband cheated on me and had an affair with someone else. Now he wants to divorce me, abandon me and the children, and take away all the property without giving me any compensation.”

Hearing this, Catherine secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"According to the laws of the kingdom, those who commit adultery shall be stripped of all their property and flogged forty times, with both men and women being punished together."

These are laws personally established by the ancestor Heinrich; it's clear he truly despised minotaurs.

Upon hearing this, the woman's expression became even more distressed, and she sobbed as she said:
"But, but, Your Majesty, the one who seduced my husband was a man. There's no way to legally prove they were having an affair!"

Miss Wang was stunned, and Ron, who was watching the commotion, was also stunned.

The blond boy's mind raced, and he couldn't help but ponder this philosophical question.

Does two men fencing each other constitute an affair?

What if it's a friendship between men?
Alas, the legal system of the Kingdom of Oran is too flawed and cannot adapt to the new version at all.
