Lord of the People: My Talent is 100 Million Points Strong

Chapter 755 Princess’ Speech

"Good morning to all citizens of the Cold Flame Kingdom."

Ariel stood on the podium, her fair face full of calmness and gentleness, and she said loudly to the dense crowd: "I am King Ariel, the nineteenth generation king of the Cold Flame Kingdom, King Bird of Steel. The daughter of the special king, she is also the fifth princess of the kingdom today."

As soon as Ariel said this, the new citizens in the audience who were whispering suddenly became silent.

I saw a touch of uncontrollable excitement in the eyes that were originally full of doubt and confusion.

Especially the new citizens standing in the front row, looking at Ariel's almost flawless and exquisite face, couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration, and even refused to blink again.

Standing in front of them was the absolute ruler of the Leng Yan Kingdom, the fifth princess of the royal family. What a noble and elegant existence she was! What an unattainable existence that is!

But now, such a noble man actually appeared in front of them in person!

But they are just a group of extremely ordinary civilians. How can they be worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess personally speaking to them on stage?

However, this excitement did not last long.

Not long after, the sudden excitement in the crowd was quickly replaced by uncertainty and distrust, and even turned into wary eyes.

You know, in the war that just ended not long ago, many of their relatives and friends picked up their weapons and swung them hard at this aloof princess.

Now that the war has come to an end, as the victor, will Her Royal Highness the Princess be angry with them?

Furthermore, under the leadership of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the shackles on the free farmers have been removed.

Even if Her Royal Highness does not take action personally, with the support of Her Royal Highness, how can those free farmers who have been oppressed by them for a long time let them off so easily?

The most important thing is, how to settle the accounts of their relatives and friends who died in the war? !

With this in mind, the new citizens looked even more wary, and they all pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what Ariel would say next.

On the podium, Ariel's long eyelashes flickered, and she immediately noticed the change in the mood of the people in the audience.

The small crown on Ariel's head was shining brightly. She still maintained a gentle expression and said with a smile: "Today, the reason why I am standing here is just for one thing, and that is to make a request to you. Please Everyone can agree."

"Your Highness, the noble princess, actually wants to make a request to us new citizens who are insignificant, even wielding a knife?"

As soon as Ariel said this, the audience was in an uproar. Everyone began to look at each other, and then listened with more curiosity.

"Actually, my request is very simple. I hope everyone will join me in building our own homeland into a more glorious place."

There was a hint of longing for the future in Ariel's expression, and the smile on her face was full of anticipation. She said sincerely: "No matter what happened before, now I just want to be with everyone present. Keep going with determination.”

"So, Your Highness, Princess, has forgiven me for my disrespectful behavior of wielding a knife at me?!"

After hearing what Ariel said, the tension in the crowd was obviously relieved a little.

But a pair of doubtful eyes were still full of alertness.

Even if Her Royal Highness the Princess does not pursue the case, what about the free farmers who have regained their lives?

It is conceivable that those free farmers will definitely retaliate and bully them with the support of Her Royal Highness.

Just as some of them did to the free farmers before the war.

"Everyone, I want you to understand something very important."

There was an undoubted dignity in Ariel's tone: "That is, in my eyes, there is no difference between you and the free farmers."

"What I have been doing has not been biased towards any party. I have only restored the original rights of the free farmers, that's all."

"If you have been treated unfairly, I will still fight bloody for you until I free you from the shackles."

Ariel's clear voice was gentle, but sonorous and powerful: "Because each of you is a citizen of my Cold Flame Kingdom and an indispensable part of my Cold Flame Kingdom!"

When Ariel said this, many people in the audience were obviously moved, and some even started to shed tears.

Before the war ended, they regarded Her Highness the Princess as an enemy that must be eradicated. They wanted to eliminate her quickly and then collect rewards from the nobles who had previously occupied this place.

After the war, as the victor, Her Royal Highness the Princess, instead of blaming them for their rudeness and offense, regarded them as an indispensable part of the kingdom, and was even willing to fight to protect them... This How could such a king-like broad-mindedness not make them burst into tears of gratitude?

"My fellow subjects of Lengyan, I have formulated relevant laws of justice and have begun to implement them. If anyone among the free farmers dares to attack any of you, I will severely punish them."

Ariel's stern voice continued to echo in the square: "On the other hand, if any of you continue to provoke the free farmers, I will also bring them to justice."

After a pause, Ariel slowly emphasized: "In my eyes, both you and the free farmers are my precious people. Anyone who dares to harm my people, no matter who they are, will be punished by me." I will never let him go!"

"I didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess would really treat us as her own. What kind of grace is this?"

Looking at Ariel's unwavering eyes, quite a few people in the audience almost no longer had any hostility or confusion, and only gratitude and reverence remained in their eyes.

After seeing this scene, Lei Xiao, who was hiding in the dark, nodded slightly.

"As expected of Ariel, she never disappoints me in every speech she gives."

Looking at Ariel's slender figure that seemed to contain powerful power, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly: "One of the most important reasons why Ariel is so courageous is that she is A true ideal, right? Only what the heart desires can make the eyes of this Princess Lengyan shine."

"However, if the speech is all sincerity and there is no routine, it cannot be regarded as a qualified leader. She will have to teach her more later, otherwise she will not be able to bear the weight of a country even if she ascends the throne. .”

"Or it would be good to find two psychology expert lords as consultants. Using modern psychology to enhance the imperial power may achieve unexpected results."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, his eyes still focused on Ariel.

"In short, since her ideals do not conflict with my goals, then what's the harm in helping the still somewhat naive Princess Leng Yan realize her ideals, just as I have always done?"

"Of course, the premise is that I can successfully defeat her ruthless brothers."

While Lei Xiao was thinking this, his dark eyes moved and focused on the crowd in the audience.

At this time, it can be clearly seen that although a considerable number of new citizens have been persuaded, there are still many who are still staring at Ariel on the stage with resentment in their eyes.

"Presumably these are the relatives and friends of those soldiers who died in the battle, right?"

Lei Xiao frowned slightly again and murmured to himself: "I have already explained the idea in the meeting before. It depends on how Ariel melts the ice in the hearts of these people."

"...I think everyone has a question in their mind, right? Why did this war that just ended start?"

I saw Ariel's expression was solemn, and she said loudly: "To be honest with you, I also have this question in my heart. I was just struggling to survive with my guest in this corner of Kongqing Town, but unexpected death occurred. disaster."

"Some people can't tolerate us, and they can't tolerate a small Kongqing Town. Not long ago, we tried our best to help General Bai repel the Holy Night Army, save the mountain fortress, and avoid a war. It’s a senseless killing, but there are still people who want to kill me.”

Ariel's clear voice was filled with three points of helplessness, but also seven points of determination: "But even if the army besieged the city, I never thought of giving up, because the people in Kongqing Town are just like you. They are my people, the people I swore to protect with my life."

"So I took up arms, so I chose to fight because I had no choice."

Ariel's voice gradually became louder: "Everyone must have understood that I was not the one who started this war. I was just forced to get involved in the war and take up arms, because There are people there who deserve my protection, just like everyone here."

"And you, as well as the soldiers who wielded their sharp blades against me, are equally innocent, and were also forced to be involved in this battle that should not have happened. The real culprit is already very obvious, and that is entrenched in The fallen nobles of this land.”

There was a touch of uncontrollable anger on Ariel's fair and translucent face, and the small crown on her head reflected the dazzling cold light under the bright sunshine.

"They were supposed to be the guardians of this land, and they were supposed to guard the place on behalf of the royal family, but now they have made this land full of war and sent their own people to their graves with their own hands!"

"This kind of behavior is absolutely unforgivable, so I launched a counterattack. My guests and I led the soldiers under our command to execute them one by one on the spot, just to let the majesty of the royal family shine on this land again and give it to this place again. Bringing light and hope!”

While Ariel was speaking, Lei Xiao noticed.

Those people who were full of resentment first fell into deep thought, and then lowered their heads. It seemed that they had realized the real culprit.

This undoubtedly means that Ariel's speech was indeed very successful.

"Even though the bloodthirsty demon is dead, the soldiers who were bewitched by the demon have become victims of the war."

"However, they are still the bravest warriors of my Lengyan, and they are still my subjects. Therefore, as the fifth princess of Lengyan, I will replace those fallen nobles and receive five times the normal pension in a timely manner. Distributing it to every family member is an insignificant expression of our kindness."

On the podium, Ariel sighed and shook her head regretfully: "I will personally supervise every aspect of this matter, please don't worry."

When they heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess really planned to issue pensions, people couldn't help but be stunned.

You know, Her Highness the Princess is the target they plan to kill. This act of repaying evil with kindness is simply embarrassing!

While sighing in their hearts, people all recalled the arrogant and cruel faces of those fallen nobles who were once aloof.

If Her Royal Highness had been replaced by those people, I'm afraid her head would have been in a different place, right? The difference this time is self-evident!

And just like what Her Royal Highness the Princess said, the so-called new citizens, the so-called privileges... are just a kind of deception, a despicable means to make them swear allegiance to the death.

Thinking of this, the people who were full of resentment just now are now filled with belated emotions and gratitude, and some even started to sob softly.

"Everyone, I have an important decision to tell you."

A touch of excitement appeared on Ariel's fair face again: "Fortunately, there are still 30,000 surrendered troops and part of the defenders of the mountain fortress, who have not been poisoned by those fallen nobles, and they will soon We returned to our respective hometowns and met you all!"

"Dear Princess, are you saying that you want to release those captured soldiers back?!"

Under the podium, an old man on crutches said with trembling disbelief: "But they have all used swords against you! How can you not be punished?"

"Yes, I do want to let everyone go."

Ariel smiled and nodded, and responded: "As for punishment, of course there will be punishment. I hope they can follow me and make this land a better place."

"Your Highness Princess, if the Cold Flame Kingdom can have a great monarch like you, how can it not be strong and prosperous?"

After being stunned for a long time, the old man was so excited that his nose ran freely, and he couldn't help but kneel down in the tunnel and said: "Long live Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Long live your Royal Highness the Princess!"

Other people in the square also knelt down one after another, with expressions of gratitude on their faces.

For a time, the scene of thousands of people kneeling down was quite shocking.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction.

This undoubtedly shows that his coping method is still very effective.

"First Prince, Second Prince, even if you send all the glib guys here, I'm afraid you won't be able to stir up internal conflicts in me."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows while thinking this, and then under the guidance of Ju Bai, he began to walk towards the city lord's palace of Liu's End.
