"Your Majesty, save me—"

At the moment before he died, Zhao Jiaqi still couldn't let go of the obsession in his heart, and stretched out his hand to Kyle stupidly, but the latter had already repented and was unwilling to pay attention to her anymore.

The look in Zhao Jiaqi's eyes gradually faded, accompanied by endless unwillingness and loneliness to die.

The farcical prayer meeting ended with the death of the once revered queen and bishop, and the most noble existence in the hearts of the people fell to the altar, and for a while, a climate of distrust quietly grew among the people.

Twelve moved back to the palace with Victoria, her injuries were so severe that Twelve had to eat and sleep with her, taking care of her.

Kyle once sent his chamberlain to ask Twelve to bring Victoria over to see him, but the latter refused.

"Why did you know this in the first place, when Victoria was living in a dark dungeon, did your majesty, the father, ever think of his daughter?" She said.

The chamberlain reluctantly brought the original words to the bedridden Kyle.

Kyle just sighed helplessly, "I already knew they wouldn't come, so why bother, forget it." ”

After the chamberlain left, Victoria hesitantly said to Twelve, "Mother, wouldn't it be good if I didn't go to see my father?" ”

Twelve patiently asked, "Why do you feel that?" You don't need to have any psychological burden, after all, he is indeed unqualified as your father, so you don't need to be too concerned about him as a daughter. ”

"I'm not worried about my father's mood, I'm worried about the people's mood." Victoria fiddled with the lace bow on her chest.

This bow was tied by Twelve this morning, and she loved it.

When Victoria said this, Twelve was even more puzzled: "Do you see what your father has to do with the people? ”

She explained: "Overnight, the people lost the bishop and the holy woman, the two most important spiritual leaders, although for the royal family this is a bone scraping cure, but for ordinary people, the spokesman of God, who has always believed in God, has done that kind of rebellious thing, no one can accept." ”

"If they can't even trust and rely on their only faith, it is inevitable that some people who have been bound by dogma for a long time will not become outlaws."

"When the time comes, it will be the ordinary people who will suffer, so it seems that it is my sin."

Twelve understood her thoughts: "You want to take this opportunity to restore the prestige of Robert's royal family in front of the people?" ”

Victoria nodded.

Twelve never thought that after going through so many things, she would still have such compassion and compassion, I have to say that Victoria was born to rule.

"If you're worried about this, I can visit your father and emperor on your behalf, so that you don't have to do what you don't want to do, and the emperor's prestige can be slowly withdrawn, okay?"

Victoria happily hugged her arm and smiled: "Mother is so good to me!" ”

Twelve helped her to sit down: "The wound on your body is almost healed, do you want to go see Salim and Venola?" ”

The joy in Victoria's eyes was fleeting, replaced by endless sadness: "I should have visited them, and there was no one to take care of them but me." ”

Twelve left the palace alone with Victoria, and came to the hillside outside the city where Salim was buried.

Tell her, "Vinola's graveyard is a little far away, so I'll have to pay my respects another day, so let's take a look at Salim." ”

On a high hill, there is only one lonely grave, and the stone tablet is inscribed: The tomb of Salim, the guardian of His Highness Victoria.

Victoria stepped forward, stroked the fallen leaves from the stele, and placed the flowers she had picked with her own hands in front of his grave.

"Mother, do you know that Salim is a more important existence to me than my mother, and it was he who taught me everything about loving and being loved during the years without my mother."

The hand that Twelve placed on Victoria's shoulder sank and said, "I understand what Salim means to you, you can rest assured that Salim's name will live on for centuries, and I will let the world know that His Highness Victoria is a loyal guardian." ”

In fact, Victoria doesn't care if she goes to see Vinola or not, after all, there are no more people, and no matter how much she does after death, she will vent her emotions, and now she will not let herself be immersed in any kind of emotion.

After the two return to the palace, Twelve visits Kyle again.

It was said to be a visit, but in fact Kyle was lying on the bed, and Twelve was sitting next to him, and both of them remained silent.

Kyle was the first to break the silence of the room.

"Is Victoria's injuries okay?" Kyle asked.

Twelve originally wanted to sneer, but looking at the pale man with sunken eyes on the bed, the words on his lips turned again: "It's much better, today I took her out of the city to sweep Salim's grave." ”

There is no such thing as a royal princess sweeping the tomb, and it is not in line with the royal rules for Twelve to do this, but at this moment, Kyle is truly grateful for Salim's loyalty, if it weren't for him, Victoria would have become the ghost of Zhao Jiaqi's knife.

He looked relieved: "It's good that it's better, my time is running out, and the Robert Empire still needs to rely on Victoria to support it, today, thank you for coming to see me." ”

"Actually, it's not me who came to see you, it's Victoria who asked me to come and see you." Twelve said as he stared at Kyle.

When Kyle heard her say this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Victoria asked you?" And she-"

"Don't think too much, Victoria is purely for the sake of stabilizing the people, now the Royal Church and the Robert royal family have lost their high status in the hearts of the people, and she plans to rebuild the prestige of the royal family for the stability of the people."

Twelve is unrelenting in shattering Kyle's last bit of hope.

Kyle's face froze, and it took a few seconds before he relented: "It's okay, so that the Robert Empire will not be destroyed by me." He closed his eyes lightly and continued: "Leave the pacification of the people to Victoria, I am getting worse and worse these days, twelve, you can help me call the chamberlain in." ”

Twelve got up from his chair, saluted, and turned to leave.

In fact, she can see from Kyle's illness that he is not an incurable disease, and the so-called "blue blood" is just a hereditary heart disease.

The disease is caused by a genetic defect unique to the children of the royal family who marry and reproduce in order to maintain the purity of the bloodline.

It's not that it's incurable, it's just that there is a lack of necessary medical treatment in this day and age, and Twelve knows a way to slow it down, but she doesn't plan to tell Kyle.

really told him, let him live in vain for so long, it is inevitable that there will be no next Zhao Jiaqi, and he has to think about how to be an empress.
