...... I see.

Just because Queen Mary, the "treasure of the kingdom", is in such a town, so you don't want the dangerous magic tower wizard to meet her?

As a nobleman, Hubert's ability is not to be put aside for the time being, and his eyesight is still very good in the flow society. He noticed the black-robed wizard's displeasure and quickly explained.

"I'm not doubting you, Lord Rasputin. I have heard from the palace guards that you are the one who helped Her Majesty lift the curse. ”

This time, Hubert's chubby face showed genuine gratitude.

"As one of the members of the group who has always admired the queen in my heart, I am really speechless except to express my gratitude. In the face of that terrible curse, the king and the nobles were helpless, and the Holy See would only see death and not save them, if it was me in the past, it would be hard to imagine that it was actually the Wizard of the Black Tower who had always been regarded as a potential enemy of the kingdom who came to my aid and saved the queen at a critical moment......"

I didn't expect you to be a fan with thick eyebrows and big eyes, it seems that Queen Mary is really a heartthrob.

"The queen is definitely willing to meet with you. However, she still has people from the Holy See around her...... and the eyes and ears of the king. I don't think Your Majesty will easily approve of this, and it is even very likely that he will put the curse on your head. ”

Hubert spoke of the Holy See and the King in a disrespectful tone.

This shows two things: on the one hand, it shows that the nobles of the kingdom, who represent the secular forces, have a deep feud with the Holy See, which represents the camp of faith; Hubert, on the other hand, was the representative of the new aristocracy, and there was constant friction with the royalists and the old nobility, and although they still observed the etiquette of their courtiers, they did not necessarily respect His Majesty the King from the bottom of their hearts.

As for Richard, he completely ignored the ideas of Luther VII himself, including the eyes and ears of the king.

"The ...... of the Holy See"

This time, instead of speaking directly, he put it in the private communication of the oath.

"I understand, my lord, leave this matter to me."

Joan replied quietly.

"Okay."

The black-robed wizard bowed slightly, Hubert thought he was responding to him, and after quietly breathing a sigh of relief, he hurriedly made an inviting gesture to the two.

"Come this way, and I'll take the two guests to my friend's prepared lodging now."

After that, he did not mention anything about Queen Mary. Hubert was well aware that this was no longer within his reach.

……

"My lord, what do you think of the queen of this country?"

During this journey, the two masters and servants and the fat nobles were called two carriages, and they were surrounded by black-clothed guards in the center.

Joan lifted the curtain, and was admiring the street outside the carriage window, when she suddenly asked.

Richard was stunned for a moment.

What do you mean by "how to look"...... What else can you think of this?

Speaking of which, he did have some thoughts about Queen Mary, because he always heard about her in other people's mouths, so Richard often complained about the incredible charm of the other party...... But it's just a matter of curiosity.

Although "Rasputin" and "Marie Franz" are both "ruling classes" with quite high status in different fields in terms of the composition of the world's forces, one is a royal family in the secular world, and the other is the leader of the extraordinary—but if it were not for the "preacher", they would probably only be a relationship for the rest of their lives.

Even if there was a contradiction or even a struggle between the Demon Tower and the Holy Alliance, it would be difficult for it to affect the Queen herself.

If I have to say, it is indeed a relief that Queen Mary was so happy to give herself the lion vow......

But far from being grateful. After all, Richard was in absolute power at the time, and it was possible to choose to snatch it by force, or to turn his face and deny people after getting what he wanted, which in itself was not a fair deal.

King Luther VII of the Rhine chose to refuse in the first place also because of this: an oath that had long ceased to be secret was probably not "something that could not be traded", and he may have had a preference for saving Queen Mary – both for feelings and interests.

However, with the reputation of the Wizards of the Black Tower in the mainland, the outcome is more likely to be "losing the lady and the army", as long as the king is still a normal person, it is impossible for the queen to leave the city of Saint-Michel and go to the Silent Hills, which is equivalent to sending his wife into the mouth of the tiger.

It was only after the Holy See intervened and promised a cardinal that Luther VII, without a suitable reason for refusal, reluctantly chose to agree.

"How many times have you met her?"

"This is the first time I've seen her. However, in the middle of the trip, Her Majesty and I did have a good conversation, and we are friends now. ”

Joan smiled slightly.

“...... Is it? How do you feel about her? ”

Richard asked casually. He didn't think much of it, thinking that his knight might just want to talk.

"As long as she is not an actor with shocking skills, and can still lie in front of me, then ...... It is true that the queen is a gentle, kind, and simple woman. It is hard to imagine that she was born into a family of great nobles. ”

"What about appearance?"

Richard asked.

"It's hard to be so popular just because you have a good personality, right?"

“...... I thought Lord Monarch had already seen it," Joan looked at the black-robed wizard with a strange gaze, "You didn't see Queen Mary's face when you traded the vows?" ”

"At that time, it was too late to ......"

"It seems that you have no interest in this aspect in this life. No wonder he chose the path of a wizard who pursues the truth, it is really admirable. ”

That was a misunderstanding, Richard thought to himself, in fact, compared to the queen, the heroic female knight was more in line with his taste.

"In any case, it seems to me that Queen Mary is indeed an impeccable beauty."

Joan shrugged and replied.

"But that's not the point — the point is, she's probably a very lonely woman."

Her tone was low, and it became meaningful.

“......”

Richard struggled to realize what she was hinting at.

"Are you—"

"Her Majesty doesn't know my real gender."

The female knight blinked.

"So, she developed a relationship with me on the premise that she thought I was a man. Of course, I have to admit that I also have other plans......"
