Chapter 18: The Gap Between a Legendary Sword Master
As the black robe completely fell, a woman in her thirties appeared in Ye Fei's field of vision.
She had short blond hair, wore a black dress, embroidered with a delicate pattern with gold thread at the placket, and wore a pair of tan silk gloves in her hands, Ye Fei could vaguely see the slender fingers under the gloves. She seemed to notice that Ye Fei was watching her, and she also turned around and smiled at Ye Fei, "Thank you for your heroic actions this morning, if it weren't for your timely action, I think I might never see Little Emma's bright smile again, Ye Fei Warrior." β
After speaking, she bowed slightly to Ye Fei.
"Her Majesty!"
When Ye Fei saw this woman saluting him, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, his body stepped back, and he bowed ninety degrees.
An inexplicable impulse emerged in his body, and when he saw this women's team, he bowed down, and couldn't help but clench his hands.
This woman is the true ruler of the current Duchy of Belmar - Queen Skadi!
There are so many rumors about this beautiful and intelligent queen that there is no one in the Duchy of Belmar who does not know her name.
Queen Skady, aged about 30, is the queen of the Duchy of Belmar, whose full name is Skady Baroa Marr. She was the daughter of a wealthy merchant who married the prince of the Duchy of Belmar in her early years. After her husband ascended the throne, she helped her sick husband investigate the public situation and participate in national politics, and after her husband's death, she was enlisted as queen by major forces. She doesn't like identity constraints and likes to understand public opinion, she often appears in all corners of the Duchy of Belmar, and it can be said that she is deeply loved by the people of the entire Duchy!
"No, shouldn't Queen Skady be in the Imperial Capital right now? How did she end up here, and what did she mean by what she just said? is so downtrodden that it is unseemly, is there any ulterior motive in this? β
In an instant, Ye Fei realized that something was wrong with the problem, he felt that his head was big, and shook his head helplessly, Queen Skadi also smiled slightly when she saw Ye Fei's appearance.
"Paris, what's going on, why is Her Majesty here?"
Ye Fei hurriedly asked Paris, this is not a trivial matter, as the lord of a country, there must be some important reason for appearing outside the imperial capital.
"Your Majesty, it's up to you to take matters into your own hands."
Ye Fei looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, in his impression, Paris was quite disgusted with nobles, but he didn't expect her to be so respectful to Her Majesty the Queen today.
"That's right, since this matter started by me, then it should also be up to me to inform Ye Fei Warrior."
Immediately, Queen Skadi walked to the side of the sofa and sat down, and also invited Ye Fei to sit down with her.
"Judging from the way you looked just now, maybe you already know something about the situation, so I'll make a long story short."
Queen Skady paused and began to tell her story.
"As we all know, I became the queen of this country after the death of my husband, the previous king, and when I came to the throne, I managed this huge country in an orderly manner, and the people loved me very much, and I was satisfied with what I had done, and I was a wise queen."
Ye Fei nodded yes when he heard this, after he came to Huttonmar, he began to know some about this country, and he found that people were very popular with Queen Skady, and they could readily accept all kinds of regulations promulgated by the queen, but when he turned his head to look at the queen, he found that there was an indescribable sadness in her eyes.
"Perhaps I was so busy sorting out the affairs of the country that I neglected to guard the people around me, and half a year ago, the current regent, who is also my uncle, actually plotted a palace coup, and I escaped to Huttonmar not long ago, thanks to the sacrifice of many masters, so that I could temporarily take my life."
Saying this, Queen Skadi didn't continue, she looked at Ye Fei's expression of sudden realization, and knew that she didn't need to continue.
"Ahem, Her Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, you came here to find Paris's help so that you can return to the imperial capital again?"
Ye Fei deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "return" here.
"That's right, my uncle is a belligerent, and he also launched this coup d'Γ©tat to wage war against the neighboring Dros Empire, but he doesn't know how big the gap is between our Duchy of Belmar and the Dros Empire, and I can't watch the future of the Duchy be ruined in the hands of my uncle." When Skady said this, Ye Fei could see that she was very excited.
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, you don't have to tell me these things, I'm just an ordinary adventurer, and this big matter about the war between the two countries, where is it my turn to get a little person like me to intervene." Ye Fei also shrugged his shoulders, he was ten thousand unwilling to get involved in this kind of thing in his heart.
"No, if it were someone else, maybe you wouldn't have the ability, but you're different, you have that ability." Queen Skady looked at Ye Fei with a solemn expression, and Ye Fei was also slightly stunned after hearing this, not understanding why Her Majesty the Queen valued him so much.
"Maybe you don't know why the Delos Empire was able to become the number one armed power on the continent, I don't mind telling you why."
"What is it?" Ye Fei asked curiously.
"One person gap."
Queen Skady got up from the sofa, walked in front of Ye Fei, stared at Ye Fei's eyes and said, "The gap between a legendary sword master, the reason why the Dross Empire has such a powerful military force is because their expeditionary general is one of the legendary four great sword masters, the short sword Barn!" β
Four Great Sword Masters!
When Ye Fei heard this name, he almost subconsciously thought of someone, the back of the man wielding a giant sword to come and go freely in the monster group, which had been deeply imprinted in Ye Fei's heart.
"Your Majesty, although I don't know how powerful that Bahn is, I do know that the strength of one person alone cannot change the military strength of a country." Ye Fei also got up from the sofa, his eyes sincerely looking at Queen Skadi.
"I naturally understand this truth, although Bahn is one of the legendary Four Great Sword Saints, his personal strength is still limited."
Queen Scady no longer went to Ye Fei, but came to the window of the box, watching the auction below was in full swing, her voice came faintly, "But if he enters our military camp alone, carries out a decapitation operation, and beheads our general's head under the sword, when the time comes, the two sides will fight, do you think which side will have a better chance of winning?" β
At this point in the conversation, the atmosphere began to become a little solidified, and only little Emma seemed to know what was going on, sitting next to Paris and shaking her white and tender feet.
