“Please… get rid of him.” She lowered her voice.
“Yeah.” Charles motioned for her to back away.
Chapter 324 The Queen’s Bedroom
Charles entered the queen’s room.
“You should go,” Charles said.
Yuga was obviously a little surprised when he saw Ciel.
“…I thought you…” He frowned, “Why are you still here?”
“I have a reason to work here,” Charles said. “How about you?”
“I have my mission.” Yuga emphasized.
“Can’t you be a human without a mission?”
“It’s rude of you to speak.”
“I didn’t mean to. In other words, we can fight again tomorrow.” Ciel looked at the damaged part of the opponent’s armor. A gap was opened on the surface of the armor, but the wound should be completely healed.
Yugarten stood up, as if he didn’t want to put off the duel until tomorrow.
“You don’t want to fight here, are you serious?” Ciel asked, “This is the queen’s room, unless you have the confidence to punch me to death, it will be embarrassing, furniture…walls …”
Coming soon, calm down.
“I just want to punch you to death!” Yujia slammed his fists, and the evil wind sounded.
Ciel has been fortified in advance and can easily avoid it.
Yuga paused, turned around and saw the queen glaring at him outside the door, feeling bored, and stopped again.
“Damn bastard…” Yuga muttered, turned and walked out of the room, “I will miss you, my honorable queen!”
When he went out, Anastasia dodged, disgusting Yuga.
Charles looked around, the room was very beautiful, and without Yuga’s big, unsightly man, he could take a good look at the carpets embroidered with flowers and birds. The queen was obviously very interested in the layout of this room.
“It’s safe,” Charles told her.
Anastasia’s lips trembled, and Charles suspected she wanted to say thank you, but didn’t say it.
They stood stiffly for a while.
“Come in,” Ciel invited. “What is there to hesitate? You are the queen of this country, and this is your room.”
When Anastasia heard Ciel’s words, a smile appeared on her face.
She nodded, went into the inner room, untied her robe, and hung it on the hanger.
She wore a short woolen robe close to her body, showing her ankles with silver rings, took out the perfume from the cabinet, sprayed it in the air, and filled the room with a faint fragrance, and then went to sit by the fireplace.
“It’s not actually my room,” she said.
“what?”
“I mean, I didn’t live here,” Anastasia said. “I originally…of course, I lived with His Majesty, on the upper floors of the palace…that room was much bigger than here. , um, and a screen and a bathtub.”
“I heard that His Majesty is now resting in the deepest part of the palace.”
“Yeah, since he… moved there.” Anastasia sighed, “I’ll also move down here so I can meet him. This room is pretty good, clean, close to the bathroom and dining room, just Yuga …Maybe tonight I can sleep without him staring for the first time.”
“Why did the king let him spy on you? If you don’t like it, you should tell your majesty.”
“Because Yuga is not tired and can watch me day and night, I can’t find a chance to be alone no matter what. He always stays by my side silently. Just like I was taken out to see you by Shanel before. , although he has found a particularly suitable time, he is still eyeing us. I have to say, that is really disgusting.” Anastasia smiled bitterly.
“I totally understand,” Charles said.
“‘Understand’?” Anastasia sighed, “It’s been a long time since no one said ‘Understand’ to me. It’s almost the most empty word I’ve ever learned. It’s hard to even spell it. Sir, why do you say it?’ understand ‘what about me?’
“Because I know your situation, the king’s temperament has become more and more dull over the years. I’m afraid I don’t have time to communicate with you. But you still have to see him and do your duty as a wife.”
“I should have gone, but I . . . can’t. There are very few times when I can go with the prince to see the king. What kind of wife can’t even see her own husband?”
Yes, the door lock needs to be opened by Leopold and the queen with the key, and no one can go to the king alone.
With a little attention, Ciel noticed the four keys hanging from her belt, which opened the rear quadruple lock of the passage.
“Don’t worry.” Charles smiled, “I will protect you in the future. I fully respect your opinion and follow your instructions.”
As things stand, I have to figure out a way to gain her trust before I can get the keys.
“I can’t trust someone who wears a helmet for a long time. Like Yuga, who knows what’s under a helmet. I want to see your face,” Anastasia said.
Ciel took off his helmet.
Anastasia looked closely at Ciel’s face.
“There’s a scar…what’s the matter?” She pointed to the scar on the corner of Ciel’s chin. “It’s like being hit by a stone…and bitten.”
Ciel thought of the bite Luanna had bit her.
“It can only be said that luck is not very good,” Ciel said. “I have done many dangerous things, and the scars are part of the price. Sometimes, I feel that disaster is always with me, and I can’t even escape.”
“Do you feel the same way? You can’t control your destiny at all.” Anastasia sighed.
“Oh.” Speaking of scars, Ciel also saw a wound on the side of Anastasia’s ear.
Anastasia immediately brushed her hair over to block it: “What are you looking at?”
“There are scars…” Charles was confused, “Have you suffered too?”
She hesitated for a while, and finally pushed her hair away so that Ciel could see that the scar was not drawn with a sharp tool, but more like a fist.
“Who dares to beat the noble queen?” Ciel couldn’t help asking.
“It’s better to ask, who wouldn’t dare.” Anastasia said calmly, “There is no need to ask.”
“King? Prince? Leopold turned out to be a jerk,” said Charles.
“No, it’s not.” She was amused by Ciel’s guess. “What are you talking about! How could your noble son Luoman do such a thing.”
“He will only look at you with contempt and say some unintentional words to stab you, right?”
“…” Anastasia looked lonely.
“Probably the king’s envoy,” said Charles. “Serava? Doria?”
“Her name is Maura,” she said.
“Oh, Maura.” It was exactly like something she would do.
“You seem to know these ‘envoys’ well.”
“There is a good thing to tell you, Mora is dead.” Charles comforted her.
“Dead?” Anastasia was startled. “Dead? How did you die? Does it have anything to do with you? Yes…you killed her? Oh my god!”
“Did I kill it?” Charles thought back, and finally Charlotte moved, “I didn’t finish it myself, um, but without humility, I played a big role in defeating her. ”
“Mora’s dead,” she repeated dreamily. “Mora’s dead–can you come closer?”
Charles approached her, and Anastasia got up and greeted him deeply.
“Thank you so much,” she said. “You don’t know what that means to me.”
“The day will get better,” Ciel said. “Although the goal is difficult, I am working hard. I will not let go of a villain like Maura.”
“No wonder Shanel is so dead on you, you… like a hero who hates evil, yes, you are like my hero… Mora was killed by you… I can’t imagine… she is so scary… ”
“It’s nothing in front of me.” To be precise, it’s everyone’s combined efforts, but now is not the time to talk about details.
Ciel and Anastasia were so close they could feel each other’s breath.
“Have I lost my way…” she asked.
“not yet.”
Anastasia pursed her lips: “Although it sounds strange, but… I hope you can temporarily protect me tonight, but it’s not because of my grotesque thoughts, I’m just afraid of Yuga’s return. That’s it.”
Her eyes were seductive.
Did she think I would definitely agree?
“No,” Charles said.
“Huh?” Anastasia woke up from her fantasy, “What?”
“You said a lot of unfriendly things to me before, and I still remember it fresh.”
“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to, I just… got carried away. Is it too late to say this now…” Anastasia said nervously.
“It’s too late, but I need you to do a little thing for me,” said Ciel.
“Please say.”
“I need a book called the Book of Darkness. It is completely black. Now it is in the hands of the court wizard Qilan. I hope you can help me find it.”
“Ah—that kind of thing, it’s a little bit to me…”
“If you’re willing to help me, I’ll be by your bedside all night long.” Charles whispered in her ear.
Then he stared at Anastasia.
She was confused for a moment, then nodded: “I’ll do it. Yes… Qilan? He’s nothing.”
“Thank you very much.” Ciel resigned to her, walking quickly, carefully closing the door.
“You! Are you sure not to stay? Otherwise, where do you want to rest?” Anastasia still shouted after the door was closed.
“There are a lot of rooms here.” Ciel responded calmly, “I will find a place with moonlight to rest, don’t worry about me.”
“Hey—” Anastasia sighed deeply.
Chapter 325
In the early morning of the next day, Ciel woke up naturally, and the morning light shone into the room through the thin window, dispelling the darkness.
The darkness here is not so absolute. The King of Darkness seems to be powerful, but there must be flaws that can be exploited.
After he was fully relaxed, he felt that life and mission were full of hope, and the challenges before him were not as terrible as he imagined, and they might not even pose challenges at all.
In the final analysis, I have the strength, experience and partners, I can make the best use of the environment and resources, and the odds are accumulated little by little.
It would have been great if I had known these things before. Looking back now, every thing I did when I was young was more naive than the last.
But I can’t blame it all. I didn’t have the correct guidance, and Gladius would only insult and ridicule me. It’s good enough to develop to the current point.
“It was my fault,” Gladiu said.
Ciel never expected that Gladius would say such a thing.
“Are you crazy?”
