Chapter 57: The Queen
'I see, Uncle Liangya, he has always been uncertain, and we relatives have been together less often, and both of us were under ten years old the last time we saw him.'
Well, I haven't seen him in years, and I don't know how he's doing... By the way, you two said you've been chasing that snake demon, what the hell is going on?'
'This...' The second girl couldn't help but look at each other when she heard this, and seemed to be a little embarrassed, only to hear the girl named Feng whisper: "Sister, do you want to tell them?"
Ju hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Since they know Uncle Liangya, they are not outsiders. Say it.'
I feel that Feng has a good impression of us from the beginning, and I want to tell us what happened, but because my sister didn't let go, it's inconvenient to say more, and now I heard that my sister agreed, and the little girl couldn't help but feel relieved, so I told us the whole thing, it turned out that their Inu clan has been engaged in the work of 'exorcists' for generations, and they are quite famous in the industry, about a year ago, their family took over a deal, and a snake demon appeared in a valley somewhere in the southeast, devouring people and animals, harming one party, The local lord tried all kinds of ways to do nothing about it, and finally had to pay a lot of money to hire the Inu clan to go out, when Kaede had just turned fifteen years old, and had not yet participated in the official 'exorcism' operation, so he pestered his family to take him with him, at first everyone disagreed, worried that she was too young, but in the end she couldn't stand her repeated begging, plus I also felt that this task should be very easy, just let her follow the accumulation of experience, so I agreed, at first things went smoothly, Everyone worked together to trap the snake demon in a valley, seeing that as long as they held on for a while, the other party would be exhausted, but the first time to fight Kaede due to greed, rash attack, as a result of almost falling into the snake demon's plot, at a critical moment her father stepped forward to push Feng aside, and finally saved his daughter's life, but he himself was seriously injured, and finally died, and the snake demon took this opportunity to escape from the encirclement, and finally the whole mission was a failure. Because I feel that everything is caused by myself, so Feng fell into a strong self-blame after that, and even had the idea of suicide at one time, and finally slowly walked out of the trough under the comfort of my sister orange and a group of clansmen, and then in order to avenge her father, the second daughter began to hunt down this snake demon, but unfortunately the other party was cunning and abnormal, and several fights finally let it escape, until last month the second daughter came to the Five Kings City with a clue, and as a result, they heard about the girl's continuous disappearance, and they immediately realized that this must be related to the snake demon, So they began to quietly pursue, and finally found the traces of the other party a few days ago, the two sides were another vicious fight, the snake demon was defeated and left, the second daughter was in hot pursuit behind, but the snake demon suddenly disappeared outside the palace, the second daughter had the heart to enter the palace to investigate, but the guilt of trespassing into the royal city was not small, and it was not good to scare the snake, so the two daughters had to lurk outside the royal city and wait for the rabbit, and finally found the whereabouts of the snake demon this evening, the second daughter did not dare to do it near the royal city, so she followed the snake demon all the way to the periphery of the 'waste village', So I witnessed the whole thing, at first according to the meaning of Feng, when we fell into the trap and were ready to show up, but her sister Ju was a few years older after all, and she was calm and calm, and she was unwilling to act rashly before she figured out the situation, so it was not until the snake demon wanted to hurt us that the killer was the two of them, and the snake demon fought with them many times, quite fearful, so as soon as they realized that they were coming, they fled immediately, and did not dare to stay for a moment, the two daughters saw that we were all in the snake mist, and they were inconvenient to move, and if they abandoned most of them, there would be danger, That's why they first saved us to safety, and that's how it happened.
The three of us couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this, no one expected that there would be such a twist and turn, but all the previous clues seem to be connected here, but there is one thing I still don't understand.
So how did she become a princess? None of the people in the palace know about it?' I turned to Eroth and asked Eroth.
'Your Majesty's original queen died of illness three years ago, she was married two months ago by His Majesty, and it was decided hastily when the king went out to inspect, and everyone was a little surprised at that time, I don't understand how the always calm king could suddenly make such a decision, but because the new queen's background and resume are very innocent, so everyone didn't think much about it, and now it seems that those resumes are either made up by it or impostored, and Your Majesty has probably been confused by it..."
"Well, it's probably doing this to avoid the pursuit of the two sisters, and no one would have thought that the queen of the dignified king would be a snake demon.' At this time, the princess on the side couldn't help but say.
Wouldn't that be too risky? Isn't it easy to be debunked by so many people staring?' I asked.
The princess shook her head: "No, sometimes the more dangerous the place, the safer it is, as the queen lives in seclusion every day, all she has to deal with is nothing more than some palace maids, even if she occasionally appears in public, as long as she puts on a dignified and elegant appearance, after all, it is impossible for ordinary people to come into close contact with it for a long time, even if you don't get it right by looking at it a few more times, it will cause trouble, if it is not for Eroth to happen to be hiding here this time, its secret has not been exposed?"
'So what do we do next?'
"First join Ah Zi and the others, and then get out of the city as soon as possible, now that the identities of us and El Rose have been exposed, the Five Kings City can't say anything about staying anymore.' The princess replied.
'In that case, why don't we escort you to your companions?' The girl Feng heard this and said hurriedly, and could see that she was a very kind and enthusiastic child.
'No need, you've helped enough, we can handle the rest ourselves.' The princess struggled to stand up as she spoke, but the paralysis had not completely disappeared, she accidentally failed to grasp her balance, and her body shook violently and almost fell, but fortunately, Ju on the side stepped forward in time to reach out and support her.
"The poison of the snake mist will not subside so quickly, and you have injuries on your bodies, so let our sisters escort you for a ride."
The princess and I couldn't help but look at each other, I understood what she meant, not to mention that we and these two sisters met for the first time, and the previous experiences were all their words, whether they were true or not, it is difficult to say, who can guarantee that they are not spies? And if what they said is true, then we can't pull our own saviors into the water, but the problem is that the situation is urgent, and we can't explain them in detail, looking at their sincere looks, it's not easy to refuse for a while, and Eroth is not lightly injured, and we really need help from others right now...
'Alright, then please send us back to the inn first.' Finally, after weighing it again, the princess still decided to accept their kindness for the time being, of course the two daughters would not know our inner thoughts, and immediately nodded their heads, and then Ah Ju carried the princess on her back, and Feng and I carried El Rose, and the five of us rushed to the direction of the inn.
