"You two little sheep, have you forgotten something?"

"You were originally constructed based on my knowledge. In a sense, I created you."

"The Creator didn't want his creation to make another stupid mistake, so he chose to stop all the functions of his creation - how is this considered betrayal?"

"If we talk about betrayal, you who just wanted to attack me are the ones who betrayed me, the Creator, right?"

Chapter 37 Why did it fail? It was simply incompetence

"Don't say such high-handed words, Fremont."

"You betrayed us, and even betrayed Leitania, who provided shelter to your clan of liches!"

Even though all her power was temporarily taken away, the White Queen was still unwilling to surrender.

She raised her head with difficulty. Even though her cheeks had turned pale due to exhaustion, she still bit her lower lip tightly and questioned Fremont word by word:

"Why...why did you betray us?"

"What did we do wrong?"

"The reason you united those nobles and created us was because you couldn't tolerate the Witch King's brutal rule over Leithania, right?"

"You created us because you believed that... after we overthrew the Witch King, we could create a better Leitania, right?"

"We want the people of Leitania to no longer be trapped in the quagmire of war and no longer be oppressed by the rule of dictatorship and tyranny."

“We hope that when people look up, they can see the brilliant sunset, rather than the dark clouds filled with the smell of blood and iron…”

"But why did you betray us?"

The White Queen gritted her teeth and stared at Fremont with eyes full of grief, anger and incomprehension.

"Is it possible that... everything we did was wrong?"

However, after a long time, Fremont looked at the Black and White Queen, who was kneeling on the ground and speaking with inexplicable confusion and resentment, he let out a long sigh.

"Ah... what a pair of stupid yet adorable bighorn sheep."

"You have been sitting on the throne for so long, and yet you still don't understand one thing?"

"When you become an emperor, what's the point of just talking about your original intention? Isn't it all about how you actually carry it out?"

"According to what you said, Herhunzollon was just trying to see the wider world. He was a completely selfish tyrant."

"So, all the policies and measures he took to revitalize Leitania before he went crazy were fake?"

"Even the lives of the Leitanian citizens who had a good time under his rule in the past were all false prosperity?"

"Remember, I have actually seen Leitania during the reign of Herkunzoron."

Perhaps it was because he had heard too many one-sided accounts from the Gemini Queens about the rule of his former best friend.

Or perhaps it was because he was angry that the Gemini Queens, whom he created with the knowledge of the lich, were so stupid.

Flemont's tone was a little more aggressive than usual.

"If you want to say that all this is an illusion to deceive the world."

"Well then, two honorable queens."

"Why can't you create a false prosperity like Hercules and deceive your poor people?"

"Painting peace, isn't that what you kings must learn to do?"

"Why are people so resentful and angry under your rule? Even now, they are supporting your opponents to overthrow you?"

"us……"

Flemont's words made the twin queens, who were kneeling on the ground, open their mouths, but they could not utter any words of rebuttal for a long time.

If their previous strength was still there, the Gemini Queens would have enough confidence to provide a calm explanation to any minister who questioned their rule.

For example, the cruelty of the Witch-King's rule and his arrogance that disregarded the lives of others.

For example, the changes that Leitania has undergone in their hands are now that they are gradually emerging from the downturn of the Four Emperors' War and are restoring national order step by step.

For example, as long as they are there, no one dares to invade Leitania.

Just like what they have been promoting.

They can still use words like these to tell everyone in Leitania that Leitania is thriving under their governance.

But now...

The black and white queen knelt on the ground, looking at each other whose powers had been sealed and who were now as destitute as slaves.

And also, the Golden Law Guards who surrounded them and were originally loyal to them.

Even the people of Leithania, who originally loved them and cheered for them in overthrowing the brutal Witch King, became Chen Qi's helpers in overthrowing them.

“…We don’t understand.”

"Why did we fail?"

In the end, thousands of words turned into just one question.

The two artificial queens have been regarded as weapons by the nobles since they were created. They have always been involved in the highest-level games and witnessed the nobles' boring desires and endless greed.

Overthrowing the Witch King was their mission from the very beginning.

But the real reason they had the idea of "needing to overthrow the Witch King" was because after witnessing his cruelty, they developed the "correct" idea in their hearts.

After overthrowing the Witch King, creating a better Leithania is also what they think is the most "correct" thing to do.

But, since everything was obviously "correct", why were they overthrown like the Witch King?

"Obviously, what we are doing is the most correct choice."

“Why do we still fail?”

"Why do the people of Leithania live worse under our rule than when the selfish Witch King ruled?"

"Tell us, Flemont...why is this?"

Looking at the black and white queen who has lost her former pride and now looks like a lost child.

Flemont, who created them with his own hands, couldn't help but have a hint of pity in his eyes.

Others may not know it, but Fremont, who witnessed their rise from weapons to the pinnacle of power in Leitania and then their fall to the bottom, knows the confusion in the hearts of these two queens better than anyone else.

However, their identities as queens and the nobles who had ulterior motives prevented them from revealing their confusion.

They can only force themselves to straighten their backs and show the world their confidence and strength.

Now that they have lost everything, they finally have the chance to re-examine their own hearts.

But Frémont could not answer them.

Because he was also looking for the answer to this question.

But perhaps, someone can give this answer for him.

"pray."

"Could you, the future emperor of Leitania, tell me the answer to this question, and to these two poor lambs?"

Fremont cast his gaze to the side, where Chen Qi was just watching everything calmly, rarely putting away his usual straightforward and vulgar attitude.

At this moment, he was like a student seeking knowledge, begging his mentor to show him a corner of the infinite knowledge.

"——The reason is very simple."

Chen Qi came in front of the Gemini Queens, met their blank gazes, and answered the question in a flat tone.

This answer, however, was so simple that it shocked everyone present.

"I overthrow you because of the dissatisfaction and anger of tens of thousands of Leitanian citizens towards you."

"And their anger comes from the policy you chose to sacrifice their interests when you tried to win over the nobles."

"And now, you have not only lost the support of the people, but also the support of the nobles."

"It all comes down to one reason."

Chen Qi looked down at the twin queens kneeling on the ground. He had no mercy on his enemies and said word by word:

"——It's just because you are incompetent."

inability.

The Gemini Queens, Fremont, and even the mace and a group of Golden Law Guards beside him, no one had expected that the answer Chen Qi would give would be this.

Are the Gemini Queens incompetent?

Even if this question were thrown to everyone now, they would definitely not evaluate the Gemini Queen in this way.

Although the Twin Queens were weapons created to fight against the Witch King, they had already emerged in the political arena of Leithania before the Witch King was overthrown.

In the end, they even defeated all the nobles of Leitania and ascended the throne as weapons.

With such a legendary journey, who would say they are incompetent?

But for Chen Qi, this was the only evaluation he could give to the Gemini Queens.

"You overthrew the Witch King in order to give the people of Leithania a better future."

"But do you think you have achieved this?"

Faced with Chen Qi's cold questioning, the twin queens remained silent for a while, then lowered their heads in guilt.

They couldn't look directly into Chen Qi's eyes.

Because they knew very well in their hearts that the person in front of them was the one who was affected by their policies and had come to this point in pursuit of revenge.

But Chen Qi did not give them a chance to escape.

"If you are truly wiser than the Witch King, why would a citizen of Leithania like me become the force to overthrow you?"

"If you can really suppress the nobles, why do you sacrifice the interests of the common people to please them?"

"If you are really strong enough, why are you kneeling before a powerless me now?"

Chen Qi knelt on one knee, lifted the chins of the black and white queens with his hands, and forced their eyes to look directly at him.

And under their trembling eyes, Chen Qi said the words he had planned for a long time, which was to make the Gemini Queens "experience humiliation worse than death."

"All of this is caused by your incompetence."

"And in this land, the incompetent monarch has only one way to go..."

"That is, die in humiliation."

After saying that, Chen Qi stood up and finally let go of the Black and White Queen's jaw, leaving them alone, kneeling there in a daze, feeling confused at the moment.

After a while, the Black Queen let out a sad laugh.

“Ha, ha ha ha ha…”

"Incompetent... Yes, you are right. Having fallen to this point, what else can we say except hating our own incompetence?"

The Black Queen seemed to have finally figured out that it was all their own fault. She used up her last bit of strength and tried to straighten her back.

At this moment, she seemed to have regained her pride and indomitable spirit as an empress. She stared at Chen Qi in front of her and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:

"Qi, you are right. Compared to us, you are undoubtedly a more capable Emperor of Leitania."

"I have no regrets for losing to you."

"I just hope that you, who led Leitania to war, will not make the same mistake we did in the future."

After that, the Black Queen slowly closed her eyes, as if she had let go of everything, and said casually:

"Okay, Qi, now it's your turn. Give a loser like me a quick death."

"Hildegard...don't..."

However, looking at her sister who was willing to die bravely, the White Queen's face finally showed obvious panic and uneasiness.

She subconsciously grabbed her sister's sleeve, but soon realized that the key to the problem did not lie with the Black Queen.

So, Queen White turned her gaze to Chen Qi, who had a cold face, and pleaded in a low voice:

"Please... no, Your Majesty!"
