Chapter 66: The Queen's Worries
"Worthy of Richard...... The plan to attract the attention of the people of the royal capital can be said to be a complete victory......" Queen Cecilia sighed alone on the observation deck of the Queen's Bedchamber in the royal city of Grantelle.
To celebrate Her Majesty's 60th birthday, at least on the surface, the martial arts convention has come to an end, but from the towering royal city, it is still brightly lit. A large number of fireworks prepared for the conference were released into the sky on this night, so that the royal city, which had always been peaceful, was also melted into the noisy smell.
What's more, the official Queen's birthday is not long after, and many foreign tourists who come here are willing to leave, singing and dancing, waiting for the next carnival. If nothing else, the enthusiasm generated by the martial arts conference should keep the night in the royal capital so noisy until that day.
Although it was summer, the cool breeze blowing from the high platform under the night sky was also a bit of a danger of contracting the wind chill for an old man who was almost sixty years old. Therefore, when the familiar voice of the female official sounded behind her, the queen was not surprised: "Is Your Majesty here again watching?" Put on your clothes, it's still very windy here. ”
"Huh...... Thank you, Shirdan. With a warm smile, the queen slowly turned around, "You are probably the only one who is really worried about me in such a big royal city now......
"Don't say that, Your Majesty." Mrs. Hildan hurriedly said, "Richard...... The Colonel is in control of everything on the surface, but there are countless people who support you in private, whether it is the pro-guard or the ......"
"Guerrillas?" The queen replied with a smirk, "I know...... I know all of that...... I just hope they don't force themselves to be involved...... At the end of the day, this happens, mainly because I looked away from Richard...... And they shouldn't have been involved in such a deep thing...... The more you know, the more responsibility you have. ”
"Your Majesty...... Colonel Richard's Affair...... The responsibility is not on any one person. Hildan's face was embarrassed, "He wants to use the kingdom itself as a blockade to make a big gamble, if it succeeds, the kingdom will naturally get the strength to confront the empire head-on, but the possibility of failure is ......"
"But it's far greater than success." The queen closed her eyes in pain, "Richard...... Originally, in my heart, his ability, insight, and wrist should be the top level of the new generation of the Kingdom Army...... Although it is not as good as Cassius, at least I am very relieved to entrust him with the future of the Kingdom Army...... It's a pity that this incident happened, but my evaluation of him was greatly discounted for a while. It's hard to believe that with his insight and skill, he would make such a roulette wheel that puts an entire country on a high gamble...... Such a move. That's not a rational choice, it's the behavior of a madman. ”
"yes...... Colonel Richard, where the hell ......" In this regard, although he has never been involved in the actual management of the kingdom's affairs, he has served the queen for so many years, and Hildan is also very familiar with these things.
"No, Richard hasn't changed." The queen said solemnly, "though his thinking and ultimate purpose suddenly became strange...... But in dealing with people, in receiving people and things, and in dealing with various situations...... Even the respect for me as a person has not changed. ”
"This ......" Mrs. Hildan was at a loss at this time, since he had not changed at all, how could he explain everything that was happening now?
"It's a bit overconfident to say that, but I don't believe it's me...... It's that we've been misreading him. If this is not the case, then there must be something else behind it that is supporting and encouraging him. It was this unknown force that channeled his deep concern for the future of the kingdom in his heart, intensified his already radical patriotic feelings, and transferred and entangled Cassius, giving him space and time to operate in the country...... When I thought of the huge power that might exist behind Richard, even I ......" The queen didn't continue, but even Shirdan, who was listening, shuddered, if there really is such a powerful force that can easily infiltrate a country, then-
"Don't look so horrified, Shirdan." The queen said gently, "Let's not talk about such a horrible topic, let's talk about something else." Counting the time, isn't it time for our champion to come to the royal city? ”
"Yes, the winner is ......"
"Don't say it yet, Hildan." The queen smiled mysteriously, "The mystery must be kept at the end to be a surprise." ”
“…… Be. Hildan held the queen and walked down the towering steps.
"I don't know...... Our champion, can you bring some surprises......" The Queen's innermost thoughts, Hildan will not know.
At this moment, the thick and sturdy gate of the royal city slowly opened, and three figures appeared on the other side of the moat.

"Very well, Mr. Kim, they also went in." In the shadows near the royal city, Hyliga and Faye regained their cloaks, "So, that young and beautiful lady, Headmaster Corinth, Master Madoc, and the old man who doesn't know what to call it...... These characters who look like they have all entered this royal city. ”
"So, Richard will announce his ...... today Ambition? Fei asked from the side.
"yes...... There are so many political dignitaries, and there must be no wrong. And if the previous inferences are correct, Richard is going to launch a general offensive of underground operations from now on...... The time they had agreed with Captain Yulia was almost time. ”
"But...... Why didn't Olivier come? Fei remembered the last trio to enter just now, only to find that the figure of the golden egg was gone.
"He'......" said Heliga, whose dazzling blonde hair he always felt he had seen there, but he couldn't remember it for a while, "is a little strange...... With his character, he should never ......"
"Wait." Fei suddenly interrupted Helica's words, and her voice became highly tense, "Someone is coming to us. ”
“…… Very strong. "That kind of deep martial arts aura can be experienced even through the wall. Although the visitor did not seem to have any malicious intent, the nerves in Hailiga's whole body could not be tensed. The plan has come to this point, and there is no room for further errors.
“…… Come out, two. I don't mean anything but want you to have a good chat. A heavy male voice came through the wall, "If you can, we will meet at the Imperial Embassy, I have already informed the soldiers guarding the door, please go directly to the private room on the west side of the second floor when you come to the embassy." Waiting. After speaking, there was the sound of footsteps gradually squirming away.
"Imperial Embassy...... It seems to be someone from the Empire. But...... The fullness of the aura on this person's body just now is not weaker than Mr. Jin's...... It is really ...... that there are such masters hidden in the embassy of the empire It's unexpected. ”
"Are you going?" Fei confirmed that the other party had completely left his perception zone, "It doesn't seem to be in any danger." ”
“…… Go. After much deliberation, Heliga clapped, "Anyway, there is still some time before the time to discuss with Miss Yulia...... If there is any abrupt change in the plan, I should immediately follow up and adjust it, which is my style. ”
Taking off his cloak casually, Heliga's eyes were firm, and he looked in the direction of the West Block, the embassy.
"Exactly...... Who could it be? ”
