Chapter 4: The Messenger of Sorrow Cannot Even Eat
"Yes, Your Majesty. "For Hillman's request, Hatsu naturally will not refuse. As a summoner, Hillman has absolute authority for the duration of the contract, not to mention just changing a title.
A drawn sword will not resist its master, and neither will Hatsu.
"So. ”
Hillman walked up to Hatsu with graceful steps and helped Hatsu, who was half-kneeling on the ground.
"At the beginning, I was a little hungry, would you like to have dinner with me first?"
"Dinner..." Chu was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "Your Majesty..."
She wanted to say no because she didn't need to eat.
When she was in the Apostle Wasteland, she basically ate by drinking blood, because in that kind of place where you either kill or are killed, no one will leave you time to eat.
Later, after her body was completely transformed by "evil", her body was fundamentally different from ordinary people, and she no longer needed to eat.
But before she could say anything, Hillman raised a hand and put it over her mouth.
Whatever decision the queen made seemed to be unquestionable, she looked across her eyes at Chu and said with a chuckle.
"Whatever you say, please wait until after dinner, okay?"
Although it was a questioning tone, she didn't give her a choice at all, and her strength was enough to make most people feel pressured.
"Yes. There was no other way, so Chu could only agree.
······
At dinner time, the palace attendants brought dinner as usual, but they didn't know why, the queen's appetite seemed to be exceptionally good tonight. At the beginning, I ordered a dinner for two, and then I added the main course of the dinner four times in a row.
When the waiter brought the food for the fourth time, even the guards who were inspecting had a strange look.
At this time, the dining area at the top of the castle.
Hillman sat in his seat with one hand on his chin.
She looked at the person sitting across from her with that constant smile on her face.
"Click. ”
Place your cutlery neatly next to the empty plate.
The fifth main course was also eaten clean.
"Hiccup. Chu licked the soup stains at the corner of his mouth, burped quietly, and then touched his slightly bulging belly as if he was quite satisfied.
This was the first time she had eaten cooked food for I don't know how many years, and she couldn't help but eat more.
When she raised her eyes, she just saw Hillman, who was smiling at her.
At first, I seemed to have reacted to something.
His face was slightly red, and he gave a look of embarrassment, and then said with a straight face.
"Let Your Majesty smile, you don't need to eat in the next place, but since it is Your Majesty's request, you should do your best. ”
It's really "trying". Hillman glanced at the plates that had been piled up on the table, and the smile on his face deepened.
Shaking his head, Hillman lowered his hand on his chin.
"The dishes in the palace are indeed rare delicacies, if you like them, I can have them prepare more for you in the future. ”
It's just that from now on, maybe she will be rumored to be a gluttonous queen again.
"Don't dare to bother Your Majesty. At the beginning, she changed back to her businesslike appearance, and I have to say that she is very stubborn in this regard.
"It doesn't matter. "Hillman clearly doesn't care about such trivial things.
For her, the next thing to say is the main thing.
"Dinner is over. The queen sat up straight, folded her hands on her lap and said, "Chu, next, I think we should talk about the commission for this summoning." ”
Chu's expression also became serious, nodded, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”
"Hmm. Hillman smiled and turned his head to look at the window.
The moonlight outside the window is spilling in along the window, like a moon-white dust scattered in the air, hazy and beautiful.
The queen looked at the scenery outside the window, her eyes were fascinated, as if she was indulging in it, she opened her mouth and said slowly.
"I thought, start a war. ”
In this world, apart from the boundless extraterritorial ocean and the scattered islands in the ocean, there is only one continent, which is connected and separated from each other, and is divided into four pieces by four royal powers, forming four nations.
These four countries are also known as the four countries of the continent: they are the country of mountains in the mountains of the Far East, and Mantern. Forest no Country, Forster, where the royal castle expands outward with the Giant Wood Forest as the center. The land of the plains, Plain, is located above the plains.
Finally, there is the kingdom that sits in the middle of three countries, the country of Hillman, Reinhardt.
Since Hillman inherited the throne of the country, Reinhardt has entered a period of height, and her hard-line methods and the increasing strength of the country have allowed her to achieve the greatest benefit for the country in almost every Council of the Four Kings. Over time, in a few years, the towns ceded by just three other countries were enough to expand Reinhardt's territory by a tenth.
Everyone deeply understood the majesty of the youngest queen, and some people began to call her Reinhardt the Lionheart, the inviolable queen.
But all this was not enough to satisfy Hillman, she wanted much more than that, and in her opinion, what she had to do should be something that no one had ever been able to do.
She wants to start a war to make the continent a unified nation, and this country can only have one name, and that is Reinhardt.
She had been preparing for this war for a long time, and it can be said that from the moment she succeeded to the throne, she had already begun to plan this war that would inevitably envelop the entire continent.
Now, she felt the time had come.
When everything is over, the world will usher in a new era. Everything and everyone that stands in the way of this era, she will see it as a necessary sacrifice and bury them in the dust of history.
······
Left the dining area.
Hatsu followed Hillman back to the living room, which was the top floor of the castle, and there was no one here, even in the corridors.
Walking into the room, Chu had fully understood Hillman's request, and solemnly bowed his head and said.
"Your Majesty, I will definitely win this war for you. ”
"Naturally. ”
Hillman seems to have a certain confidence in victory, or perhaps she never considered defeat. With a wave of his hand, he sat down lazily on the couch.
"I don't want you to be in front of people too quickly, though, and I want you to keep it as my hole card. In my time of need. ”
Leaning back on the sofa, she raised her eyes and looked at Chu: "Let you appear again." ”
"Yes. Hatsu bowed down and replied that as long as it was Hillman's decision, she would not disobey it.
Turning his gaze sideways, Hillman looked at his lowered face and asked suddenly.
"At the beginning, what kind of existence were you apostles?"
Her question made Chu a little difficult to answer, and she was silent for a while before she spoke.
"Go to every world, listen to every summoner, and collect the evil of the world. ”
"What is the evil of the world?" Hillman asked.
Chu had never thought of such a question, and for the first time there was hesitation on her calm face, but she replied anyway.
"It should be all the evil deeds in this world. ”
"Huh. Hillman smiled, with some disdain.
"Then it seems that the war I am about to start is really a heinous crime. ”
Maybe that's right, wars kill countless people, and they lead to the destruction of countless families.
But what about the unification after the war, where each new era is built on the ruins of the old.
"Chu, what about you?"
Hillman looked directly into Hatsu's eyes, her gaze sharp, as if she could see through any of Hatsu's thoughts. (Although she does because of the contract).
"What are you called to entrust your life to a stranger?"
However, under her gaze, Chu's eyes were still unwavering, like a pool of stagnant water, which could never ripple, and she just gave Hillman a simple answer.
"Accomplish my mission, that's what I'm here for. ”
"Really?" Hillman said, looking away from Hatsu's body and resting his head back on the couch.
A sad tool.
This is her third assessment of the apostle, after being powerful and useful.
