The Amber Sword - 963. Chapter 963 Act One Hundred and Fifteenth The Dark Dragon and the Queen of the Empire

The discussion that followed became lengthy and lacking in meaning. The secret letter was full of speculation and lacked real evidence. Even the nobles present could not really suspect that the prime minister of the empire would be the traitor-although they did know that someone had betrayed. The interests of the empire, the occupation of Andzlova, and the accurate judgment of the Qiaogendigang people speak for it all. Especially in the precarious south of the empire today, Her Majesty is even more unlikely to easily convict such an identity-sensitive and superior figure. Some people speculate that this may be a divorced strategy, and some have a gloating mentality-this way. Most people have had feuds with the prime minister of the empire.

But no matter which kind, this kind of thing always reminds people of the rumors about Grand Duke Helix in recent times. First Duke Mosaic, then the Prime Minister, and then who will be next?

Everyone secretly feels that there is an invisible hand making waves behind their backs, but who this person is, it is tempting to speculate.

Her Majesty also frowned, and it seemed to others that she felt threatened by these two events.

All in all, because of this unexpected secret letter, the tea party on this day can be regarded as unhappy, but Her Majesty did not express her position in the end. The nobles will inevitably guess who will be unlucky next. There is still an increase in trust, so the people who shot are afraid that they will be unlucky, or there are other turning points. Everyone has a mentality of watching a good show. There is no doubt that the events of this day have left everyone’s dreams. space.

But few people know that the Silver Queen’s frowning brows stretched out after her courtiers, especially Little Nidevin left, her mood seemed to be restored to the same level, or that she was just showing it to the outside world. She looked at the back of the ministers leaving, but chuckled lightly.

This supreme lady stood under the arch window of the living room and looked at the rose garden outside, her eyes even crossing the gate of San Contepe’s Palace, seeming a little erratic.

“Alright, cause them some trouble, poor old Vala, I hope you don’t notice this direction too soon,” Constance said to herself, “Unfortunately, time is too tight, if I wake up earlier What a great thing… Mosaic collar, Grand Duke Helix, I hope there is nothing wrong with Rodney’s straw bale, the mountains of Alkhash-I haven’t seen it for almost 40 years, the sharp above ice and snow The cliffs have not faded in the memory so far.”

“Darus, did you see—”

Her Majesty the Queen stood quietly in front of the window, and she lifted her chin slightly, as if facing an invisible audience.

“I heard that it was your grandson. It’s a pity. I don’t have time to see your descendants. The sword of the earth will eventually fall into his hands. This may be the affirmation of Master Martha for us. I just hope Gwendolyn and the others can find him as soon as possible, Darus, I believe you will understand my current choice.”

The hall fell silent, and the whispers in the wind that passed through the courtyard woods did not answer either yes or no, but the Silver Queen seemed to know the answer.

She glanced at the Holy Palace of the Cruz people for thousands of years, then turned her head decisively, and no longer looked at the courtiers outside the gate of San Contepe’s palace.

It’s time to know the answer.

The royal carriage is already ready.

…

秋榛庄园之内，扳着指头计算时日，茜意识到自己已经被软禁在这座鲁施塔郊外的古堡内有近两个月时间，班克尔一带郊野的景色也由秋暮之后转入深冬，虽然在铁蓟山脉以南还未曾下雪，但逐渐瑟冷的气温与日益增多的冬日的衣物外套也说明了四季的变迁。

在一些时日以前，确切的说是在一个月之前，关于鲁施塔的消息还能准确无误地传到古堡之内，但随着安兹洛瓦与帝国整个南方战局的胶着，帝都的气氛也一日紧张过一日，近日更是先后传出关于赫利克斯大公背叛帝国与宰相大人涉嫌通敌的传闻，虽然这类小道消息或多或少地让人感到匪夷所思，但每个居住在帝都的居民至少能切身体会到一件事。

驻扎于帝都的卫队与巡逻骑兵的警戒明显比往日更加严密了，在老一辈人的回忆中，这是六十年之前才有的事情，仿佛带着那个时代特有的战争的气息，所有人都开始感到紧张起来。

这对于庄园内的女仆们也是一样。

贝莎最近一段时间以来减少了外出的次数，毕竟每到这种时候，城内城外就会变得格外不安宁，总会有人趁着这种时机出来兴风作浪，何况鲁施塔城内气氛紧张，寻常人也会担心被卷入那个深不可测的漩涡之中去。而正因为这样或是那样的原因，外面的消息逐渐内庄园内变得隔绝起来，关于安兹洛瓦的战争传来的情报也越来越少，人们逐渐开始变得越来越关心帝国是否会失去安泽鲁塔，而不是那位来自于埃鲁因的伯爵大人的安危。

而因此关于布兰多的消息，就更是少之又少了。

事实上自从灰石镇失陷之后，就再没听到过讨论这位伯爵大人的任何传闻。

对于贝莎等人来说，唯一感到庆幸的是，至少她们的女伯爵大人还坚信那位传说中的托尼格尔领主先生安然无恙，否则她们可真不知道该怎么安慰后者才好，虽然私下里，她们或多或少认为那位倒霉的伯爵大人多半已经死在安兹洛瓦了。

这一天贝莎正一如既往地在庄园的露台上晾晒衣物，忽然之间她便看到那辆如同幽灵一般穿过林地的马车，等她看清楚马车上的纹章，吓得低叫一声，赶紧跌跌撞撞地从古堡三楼冲下一楼的大厅，而等到她推开大厅的那扇厚重的木门想要提醒这座庄园名义上的那位主人谁来了的时候，却谨慎地闭上了嘴巴。

The little sisters she knew were not the only ones in the hall.

In fact, the maids of the mountain people were standing tremblingly behind Qian in the left and right rows, and in front of the countess, there was another woman standing. In fact, in this empire, few people dare to treat her purely as a woman. The Silver Queen stood in front of this mountain girl. Except for her coachman and attendant, she did not bring anyone, and she The coachman was waiting outside the manor at this moment, and the attendant also obeyed her instructions and stood outside the door, which means that at this moment, the supreme man of the empire is facing Akane alone.

What these mountain girls worry about at this moment is not that their Lord Earl will say something unpleasant, but that she will suddenly act on the Queen and kill her here. This is a criminal record. , Although it is unbelievable that Her Majesty did not pursue it.

And this is the first time Constance has come to see Akane in person in these two months.

“I think you understand the purpose of my coming here today.” The Silver Queen didn’t intend to go round today, but stared at Akane’s eyes and went straight to the subject: “I need your answer today.”

But this didn’t move Akane at all.

The mountain girl pursed her lips and stared at the Queen fiercely. If she could, she had pierced it with a single shot like the last time, but this time she found out that she could not summon the Azure Spear. A moment ago, Owina warned her and told her to protect herself carefully. As the owner of the Azure Spear, she must be responsible for her, and she must not die meaninglessly in this hell place. These are the original words of the lady, but Akane always thinks she has something to say.

“If you think you don’t speak, I have nothing to do with you. You forgot what I said last time. For you, I can declare war on any force in this world without hesitation, whether it is Eruin. , Or a Buga, you should clearly understand my determination, and not to provoke me, I want to kill your lord, not much more difficult than squeezing a bug, little girl.” Constance said lightly. Replied.

Akane shuddered slightly when she heard these words, but she was not afraid, but angry. Her Majesty the Queen clearly saw the gushing anger in the eyes of the mountain girl.

She did not speak, but if the anger in her eyes could express her feelings, Constance felt that she had been burned to death countless times.

Constance apparently estimated such a reaction early.

She sighed softly: “Stupid boy.”

“You must think that I must stand on the opposite side of yours, but have you ever thought that I am the emperor of the empire, and your lord is just a little earl of Eruin, except you between me and him? There is no conflict besides his belongings. In fact, it is not only that, I can even help him and let him rise to the sky in one step. If he is willing to surrender to me, then what is the difference between you serving me and serving him? ”

Her Majesty the Queen changed a rare breath and said softly. These words made Betha and the others on the side hardly believe their ears. Instead, their first reaction was to look at their Lord Earl in surprise, thinking Who is this lady sacred? Is it the illegitimate daughter of Her Majesty the Queen?

Of course, they only dared to stay in their hearts for a moment at most with this rebellious idea, and quickly put them behind, as if they were about to go to the gallows just with this idea.

Fortunately, the Silver Queen obviously does not have mind-reading skills, so she can’t know what rebellious weird thoughts are turning in the hearts of these maids. After she said these words, she waited for Akane’s answer. Today’s Silver Queen seemed more confident than that day, as if she didn’t worry that the mountain girl would reject her.

After listening to her, Qian’s eyes moved slightly, but she still looked at her with strong suspicion.

“Don’t you believe it?” Constance asked with some dissatisfaction, but this stubborn stone-like girl did make her feel a little frustrated. Whether it was clever tongue or firmness, she could find a solution. But Qian Xian acted appropriately in line with her identity-the daughter of the mountain people. Her silent suspicion made Her Majesty think that she had met the daughter of a farmer from Ludwig or a farmer from the countryside of Metz, blind and yet blind. Stubborn, and they always have an instinctive suspicion of any words.

Qian still didn’t answer, but this already represented her attitude.

If it were replaced with the past, the Queen of Silver would mostly leave her sleeves unhappy, but today, she winked at the maids and told them to retreat in panic and fear. After everyone had left, her Majesty the Queen He opened his mouth and said: “I know you don’t believe me, but I don’t have much time. I just want you to understand that I and your lord are the same kind of people.”

“You think I don’t know him,” Constance looked at Qian with a condescending sense of superiority: “You are wrong, little girl, I know him better than you, I know who he is.”

“You are the daughter of Shan Min, then you must have heard those legends about the forest, right?” She didn’t give Qian a chance to refute, but asked immediately.

Regarding this question, Qian remained silent.

But the Silver Queen did not need the girl to answer, because she understood that the legends of the mountain people about the forest were passed down from generation to generation. Although they migrated along the mountains, the ancient traditions were passed down from generation to generation.

“Then you should understand that in the legend about the Black Forest, the blood of the mountain people is flowing with noble blood, and part of it even comes from the age before the war of the saints. The dark dragon ruled the empire of the Miner people. , But the druid also expressed his surrender to him. In fact, it is much more than that. The earth temple, the lion man, why not, the eternal king has another subordinate, that is, the mountain people.”

Constance smiled slightly: “You swear allegiance to your lord, not just pure girly feelings, you already knew his identity, from the moment he gave you the golden apple–”

“Who the fairies will give apples, only the sages and sages.”

“He has the inheritance of the Dark Dragon.”

The Silver Queen said these words softly.

The mountain girl suddenly raised her head like an electric shock, staring at her fiercely. Her overreaction frightened Constance. The latter was taken aback, and then she realized that the other party suspected that she would be against her. The supreme lord is disadvantaged. Her Majesty the Queen couldn’t help crying or laughing at this moment. She had seen people with a stubborn mind, but it was the first time she saw him like this little girl, and Constance couldn’t help but feel a little regretful for a while. , I wondered why I didn’t meet this dumb girl earlier.

She slandered Brando a few words in her heart, and then stretched out her right hand to let Akane see a serpentine ring with a tail on her right index finger.

Akane stared at the ring warily.

For such a long time around Brando, she certainly recognized the meaning of this ring.

“Don’t worry, I am not showing you my identity. This ring is dispensable to me, and their so-called tight organization seems to me to be nothing more than that,” Her Majesty the Queen gently removed Putting down the ring and throwing it aside, she dismissed this token, which is so important to the believers of the Unity of All Things, as if it were rubbish. She let it clank into a dark corner without even looking at it. She replied Said: “I’m just telling you why I know the secret of your adult, I know even more, Eruin has no secrets in my eyes, I even know that Amman’s death is related to him.”

She chuckled lightly: “All Things One will penetrate the Temple of Flame, because of your Lord Lord’s intervention, but suffered a big loss. I kept it secret for you for so long, and I think you should also repay me. Something.”

But Akane raised her head to look at the Queen, then lowered her head again and shook her head stubbornly again.

“Do you think I’m lying?”

“I am with Lord Lord only because he is Lord Lord.” As if unprecedented, the mountain girl replied: “Lord Lord never abandoned me, and I will never leave him.”

“What a silly boy,” Constance was startled slightly. “What can he do to make you so fascinated?”

She sighed again and replied softly: “Well, you are really a stubborn girl, then Akane, do you really understand your lord’s thoughts, what does he want to do, and what purpose does he have? You should Understand that he is different from each of you. He walks far in front of you. Do you think you can keep up with him just by relying on the current one?”

For the first time, the look in Akane’s eyes was slightly loosened.

“You understand?” The Silver Queen smiled slightly: “I said that your lord and I are the same kind of people, because he and I both know the nature of this world and are not deceived by the myths and legends of the past millennia—— Akane, you have seen the nobles outside who are drunk and dreaming. You have also dealt with the cultists with your lord, so you should understand the threats hidden under the surface of this world’s vain and prosperity. You think it is like Is it a person like me and him who can clearly understand this, who will greet the power of the world? That is just the self-righteous myth of those short-sighted people.”

While she said this, she stretched out her hand to the mountain girl.

“Come on, Akane, I will show you what I and your lord are doing. You will understand that you are helping me, and you are also helping him, but his actions are aimless, and I am more I know exactly what I’m going to do—”

Constance stared closely into Akane’s eyes and continued:

“Remember what I said to you, you won’t kill me, and you won’t kill me, you will soon understand why.”

“The Azure Spear is on my side, Akane.”

“You won’t regret it.”

The mountain girl stood there in a daze, she hesitated slightly in her heart as she watched the hand that the supreme man of the empire stretched towards her.

At this time, she heard a clear voice in her heart.

“Don’t believe her, Akane.”

This is Ovena’s voice.
