CHAPTER 63

The day after the incident at the Krul city palace, the townspeople returned on orders from Viscount Dovalt. Residents were surprised to see the city almost partially destroyed, leaving a crater in the middle of the city.

Some residents who have businesses or residences in the destroyed parts want to protest against the palace. They discouraged them from doing demos by giving them compensation and new housing and businesses.

Residents received compensation in the form of 3,000 gold pieces for each person who lost their homes and 20,000 gold for entrepreneurs. For Gabby, it was only a small matter to compensate the residents.

Two days after the incident. Rumors spread that the Bride Killer mercenary group had come to disrupt the coronation event at the palace. The topic of the rumor was the destruction of the Bride Killer, who died tragically by Dayang Empress Gabby.

The Bride Killer has become a frightening specter in the former Folly kingdom. With the Bride Killer gone, plus destroying the group, Empress Gabby's right-hand man made them feel relieved.

"The Duchess is pregnant, I'm just going to seclude her for a while" Gabby was seen sitting in a room at the Duke Steward's residence.

All the nobles already knew that Duchess Steward was the one who funded the other nobles to hire the Bride Killer group.

"I will carry out the death penalty for them tomorrow. Do you mind?" Gabby said as she took a sip of tea. He sat opposite Duke Steward.

It was seen that Duke Steward was sitting calmly and carefree. He already knew that it would end up like this. What he could do other than follow the orders of Empress Gabby, who was already the leader of the Empire.

Even though he looked calm and unmoved, he was worried about his wife's pregnancy. Gabby, who saw Duke Steward's eyes filled with concern, gave a small smile.

"You don't have to worry. The Duchess will stay here until she gives birth. After the Duchess gives birth, then I will seclude her." Duke Steward stared at Gabie beading for a moment. "Very well, Your Majesty," said Duke Steward resignedly.

Gabby got up and walked to the window, looking out at the garden. "I just want to seek justice. What do you think, Lord Duke?" Gabby said without looking up.

"If it can bring prosperity to the people and doesn't offend some important people, maybe you can get it." Steward was silent for a moment. "Viscount Dovalt and Jas, they keep persuading me to take you," Gabby interrupted as Steward was about to continue.

"I hope later Master can tell what's good and what's bad," continued Gabby. "I understand," replied Duke Steward.

The next day. Residents gathered in the town square of Krul to witness the execution of several nobles who had dared to hire a group of assassins and wreak havoc at the coronation.

The event, which Gabie directly led, was silent. The people were silent because they saw the figure of Empress Gabby, who had become their leader. They think their leader is an incarnation of the goddess because he has extraordinary charisma and a very beautiful face.

They initially didn't believe the rumors that their leader was a beautiful girl. Once they saw it with their own eyes, it didn't take long for Gabby to become the Empress the people adored.

Without further ado, Gabby signaled the Executioner to behead the filthy nobles who hired a group of assassins. Residents could only cover their mouths and avert their eyes to avoid seeing the blood spurting from the severed neck.

After the execution, the bodies were taken away by several soldiers to be buried properly on orders from Gabby. At first, some residents refused to bury their bodies properly, but Gabby tried to give them understanding.

For the family in question, Gabby did the same as the royalty of the Spinx Kingdom. They were implanted with a slave seal by Gabby herself if they ever rebelled again.

"I'm not good at giving nice words or small talk," said Gabby softly. They were stunned to hear the strains of their queen's voice.

They were still in the middle of the town square, and no one was moving from there because Gabby hadn't left the town square yet.

"I promise to prosper this Empire and prosper the Empire. Even so, I need your help as an obedient and non-disobedient citizen. I promise to do justice and make no difference what the status of the people of the Queenby Empire is. As a new leader for this Empire, I ask all of you for help" Gabby's soft words ended by bowing her body to respect all the people present. The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

"Long live Her Highness, Empress Gabby."

"Long live the Queenby Empire."

"Long live Her Highness, Empress Gabby."

Shouts of support resounded in the town square. The people accepted voluntarily being led by Gabby. How can they refuse it when a ruler wants to humble himself and ask the people for help.

This made the people touched by Empress Gabby's humility. Several days passed. Gabby had already established Dekhel City as the capital of the Empire. She returned to the Palace in the capital to reorganize the Council of Nobles for the Empire.

As Dovalt expected, now Steward and Jas held authority in Krul city with Gabby's approval. Dovalt himself had to move to the Imperial Capital because he would be appointed as a representative of the Council of Nobles.

Krul city began to improve because before Dovalt moved from there, he and Steward had met and discussed fixing Krul city. Their relationship began to improve since the execution. As with Jas, he is busy arranging the magic academy, opening in three months.

Gabby sat sipping tea with Mia in a Palace Gazebo. "You already know about it from Emilio," said Gabby. Mia was silent when she heard Gabby, it sounded soft, but Mia could feel the irritation from Gabby's words.

"What did he give that Duke Charlotte accepts?" Gabby asked. "Mia doesn't know, sis," Mia answered, lowering her head.

"Grandpa and Leon found out?" Asked Gabby, Mia shook her head. Gabby was silent for a moment, and she squeezed the teacup so hard it broke.

Mia just lowered her head, and she didn't dare look at Gabby, who looked angry. Gabby looks on fire when she hears the news from Emilio that Mia was abused and almost raped by her fiancé.

Gabby saw Mia looking down in fear and began to neutralize her emotions. She stood up from her seat and walked over to Mia. Gabby rubbed Mia's head gently. Mia, who felt her head being rubbed, looked up at Gabby with tears in her eyes. Mia stood up and immediately hugged Gabby tightly. Mia was seen shaking and sobbing in Gabby's arms.
