NO.168 Unswerving love (15)

The Purple Emperor's departure is a matter of several months.

For several months, Freya was forced to stay here. The Calamity Knight Moon Shadow told her politely, "Empress, the Purple Emperor has told me to guard this place, and I can't let other people get close, and naturally I can't let you out." ”

Freya looked at the green peaks from the terrace and sighed, "If only I could take a look." ”

The Purple Emperor's palace was built near the imperial capital, opposite the Black Jade Prison, in a corner of Fortress Riel City.

Fortress Riel is a quiet place specially designated by the Emperor of the Empire for the Phoenix. There are no ordinary noisy crowds here, and there is no commotion like the present special period. The people who live here maintain that simple mentality, and under the leadership of Huang Shou, it has become a great birthplace for candidates for the Calamity Knight. In addition to this, it is also the residence of certain people who are not allowed to move around freely.

The city within a city, its walls, temples dedicated to the gods, colonnades carved with various ancient species, and arched bridges made of textured lapis lazuli all shimmer in the sun's light. Fountains with silver bases spray multicolored springs in wide squares and fragrant gardens, wide streets lined with delicate and sprawling trees, bustling flower beds and glittering stone statues, and the steep slope to the north is covered with layers of red roofs and stone gables with old-fashioned fangs, and grassy gravel alleys are hidden.

It's a beautiful area where the Phoenix Guard is currently stationed to train the next generation of Calamity Knights and their supporters.

Freya's place overlooked the city, but she couldn't leave it, she couldn't leave the little palace. She could only look at the energetic people below on the high terrace, and couldn't help but move her body.

The Queen's affairs are kept secret, and the Purple Emperor imprisons himself and Freya here, which is the will of the Purple Emperor conveyed by Moon Shadow on his behalf.

One day is fine, two days can be bearable. For months, Freya didn't know what to do with her time, and spent almost every day watching in silence, waiting for something to appear in the sky. The occasional dragon-like creature flew by was enough to make her happy for a long time. But dragons don't exist all the time, and the rest of the time, she is in a state of having nothing to do.

A mood called loneliness silently eroded her.

Under the order of the Purple Emperor, those attendants did not dare to make a mistake with her, and when they saw her, they trembled, and they didn't even dare to say a word. The guards were avoiding her for fear of offending her.

Fortunately, a month later, she was discovered by someone. That's the king who is in charge of guarding here, the Phoenix Shou. He also only learned about this matter when he received the news from the Purple Emperor.

Because the Purple Emperor believed in Huang Shou, and Huang Shou stayed in the imperial capital to do something, he did not let his body go to Middle-earth to participate in the assembly of kings and gods. When he was soaring into the sky, he stumbled upon the sorrowful queen.

As a close friend of the Purple Emperor, Huang Shou felt that he had a reason to inquire about the situation. So he gathered up his flaming wings and descended to Freya.

Freya was startled, "Who are you?"

Huang Shou explained with a smile: "I am Huang Shou, a close friend of the Purple Emperor. ”

"What are you doing here?"

"The queen seems to be very distracted, is there something wrong? ”

Freya was wary of Phoenix-Mori at first, but she also really wanted someone who could talk to her normally, so in the communication with Phoenix-Mori, she gradually became familiar with Phoenix-Mori.

The Calamity Knight Moon Shadow is unable to interfere with the actions of the king of kings, observing and recording everything in the dark.

Freya poured bitter water on Huang Shou, saying that she was like being imprisoned here every day, and she could only watch from afar, and every day she was going to gain weight except for eating and sleeping. Moreover, she also complained about the Purple Emperor's delay in returning.

When Huang Shou heard this, he laughed at first, and then said: "The Purple Emperor also has a hard time, you don't know how much pressure he will face outside if he wants to make you the queen." Not to mention anything else, the Xuan Lord will definitely not agree, and then, those gods in the sky, when they slaughter Yanjin, they may not also agree. The longer the Purple Emperor takes, the greater the obstacles he encounters. ”

Freya's resentment towards the Purple Emperor was all resolved under Huang Shou's words, and she said worriedly, "The Purple Emperor will be fine, right?"

Huang Shou also laughed wildly, and then said, "You are worrying nonsense." The Purple Emperor is a person who stands at the top of this world, where there is anything he can't do, it's just time. ”

"Oh, yes. Freya laughed embarrassedly.

Huang Shou stared at her face, and suddenly said, "Did you just say that you wanted to go and see Fortress Rare." ”

Freya hesitated, "Is that okay?"

"Yes. ”

"But, isn't the Purple Emperor going to keep it a secret?"

"What do you think Fortress Riel is, it was originally a secluded pure land with very little contact with the outside world. And as long as you don't say it, who will know that you are the queen of the Purple Emperor. Huang Shou encouraged Freya.

Freya, who had a desperate expectation for this, didn't last long, and happily accepted Kamomori's invitation and descended to the beautiful city below.

Moon Shadow had to intervene to stop her, "Lord Huangshou, if you do this, the Purple Emperor may blame you." ”

Huang Shou said with a big sting: "What are you afraid of, the Purple Emperor may have to thank me when the time comes." ”

Seeing that the block was ineffective, Moon Shadow honestly pushed away. He understands Huang Shou's temperament, and if he really wants to block it strongly, it may be a battle, and he is doomed to lose.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!"

Freya, who had never seen such a beautiful city before, was excited.

Huang Shou said proudly: "This is the masterpiece of mankind itself, a place created with the help of divine power that gathers all the beautiful fantasies of a master. ”

Freya looked at the fountains, and couldn't help but reach out and touch them, and wanted to take a sip of the five-colored spring water.

Huang Shou stopped her, "That spring water can't be drunk. ”

Fortress Riel is a beautiful city, and if it weren't for the fact that Huang Shou lived here, the emperors of the empire would have thought of moving their palaces over. Accompanied by Huang Shou, Freya toured this beautiful city and felt the happiness she had not seen for a long time. The life of the so-called queen should be like this. She didn't know how she had endured the life of captivity before, and she didn't even want to go back.

What she longs for is a free and easy world for her to walk, this is life.

Huang Shou accompanied him all the way, in fact, he was also guarding, his heart was a little uncertain, and he didn't know how the Purple Emperor would react when he came back. The people on the road see Huang Shou and Freya together, they know Huang Shou, but they don't know who Freya is. So information began to circulate, saying that Huang Shou might be about to break the vows, and it was the first time he was so attentive to a woman in the eyes of the people.

After passing the time, Freya begged Phoenix to let her live in Fortress Rare, she didn't want to go back to the terrace.

However, Huang Shou resolutely refused her and personally sent her back there. But he also promised that he would come back to pick her up and play again when he had the chance. She never waited for him again, because the Purple Emperor was coming back soon.

On the day the Purple Emperor returned, the people in the palace were nervously lined up, waiting for the Purple Emperor's fate.

The Purple Emperor glanced at them coldly, and at the same time said to everyone, "I heard when I was outside that my queen seems to be not having a happy time here. What's going on here?"

The guards and maids were so frightened that they couldn't even speak clearly, so they could only send a distress signal to Freya.

Seeing this, Freya hurriedly said, "It's none of their business. ”

The Purple Emperor said, "Since that's the case, then forget it." After dismissing the unrelated people, he said to Freya, "The time has come to face the test, and tonight I will make a formal declaration to the world that you will be my queen, are you ready?"
