- In the palace of the king of Lozema -

John entered Pamela's palace and was struck by its large and ornate style, although there was no such thing as the towering tower of Ucepold, but it was much more elaborate and had a wide variety of reliefs, unlike the story of the king of the dragon. Passing through the square at the door, they walked into a huge palace. Then John began to imagine what form the queen would receive him, could it be in this tall and majestic palace, full of courtiers on both sides?

However, Sharan did not take him to that place, and they went around the palace to a garden, where the queen was sitting on a chair and looking at the flowers.

"Your Majesty, I have brought the prince here. Sharan walked briskly over to Palinda with her head down.

"Well, let's go down. Palinda squinted, then looked at John.

"Hello, Your Majesty, it is an honour to be received by you. John bent down in front of the Queen, and he saw a man standing beside the Queen.

"Prince John, I am honored to meet you here. The queen got up and walked over to him and pulled him up, "Let me introduce you, this is my daughter, named Dana." ”

When he saw the faces of the queen and the princess up close, John felt really amazing, the previous Saran was already very beautiful, compared to them, the maid was like a weed, which made the prince even more nervous, "Hello, Queen Dana." John habitually stretched out his hand, but he suddenly realized that etiquette did not seem to be like this, and he withdrew his hand again.

"Hello. He took the prince's hand, and Dana shook it generously.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not used to Pamela's manners. John smiled awkwardly.

"It doesn't matter, etiquette is nothing more than something for outsiders to see. Dana warmly pulled John and led him to the table not far away, "You should be hungry, aren't you?" ”

"Queen Dana, you are so enthusiastic. The prince was blushed by such an active woman.

"John, just call me Dana, we're peers. Pulling him into a chair and sitting down, Dana winked playfully.

Then Palinda walked over slowly, "I'm sorry I can't meet you officially, Prince John. Because we are still at war with you, it is not good to be found to have communicated with each other now. ”

"I understand. John nodded, and by this time Dana had brought some snacks to him and beckoned him to eat some.

"Let's talk while we eat. Palynda was also sitting next to him at this time.

"Good, good. John only took a small bite of the biscuit, and was immediately attracted by the taste, and he began to swallow it heavily.

"How's the situation with Ucepold?" Palinda lowered her voice.

This question is equally hurtful no matter what form it takes, and a series of adventures make John forget for a moment why he is here, and the queen's words suddenly bring together those painful memories, and no amount of sweet snacks can soothe the sadness in the prince's heart, he stopped chewing, and tears began to flow.

"Oh, John. Dana took his hand.

"I'm sorry, it's a cruel question, but I have to understand something. Palinda's expression also looked a little guilty.

"I understand. "Pulled his hand out, probably today

There were too many handshakes, John didn't seem to feel anything, he was still immersed in his own world, "It must be bad after I'm gone, the dragon has come to the king's city, the city is inevitable, even my brother can't do anything, I just hope he and my father are safe now." ”

"I'll send someone to confirm Ucepold's condition, don't worry. Palinda assured, "Now come to you, John, I hope you can withhold your name, it is really not convenient for Pamela to have political contact with Ucepold at this time. Of course, I'd love to hear you, but I don't want to get into trouble. ”

"Okay. John readily agreed, "Call me Wood from now on." That's the name I came up with earlier. ”

"Nice name. Palinda nodded, "So, Wood, would you like to join my court?" the queen held out her hand.

"Your court?" Wood stood up, "do you mean to be a member of Pamela?"

"Yes, work for me, and I will come to the aid of the revival of Ucepold. Palinda further explained.

Wood looked at the Queen's sincere face and Dana's expectant look, he raised his hand, but finally put it down, "I thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty, and I also appreciate your hospitality, but I don't want to stay in the palace anymore, I have been in the palace of Ucepold for twenty-three years, and I don't want to keep myself in such a similar place anymore." ”

"Then do you want to..."I didn't expect the young prince in front of me to refuse his proposal, and the queen's expression became a little stiff.

"I want to leave the palace and go to all parts of the country to see that Ucepold is destroyed because he is too closed to accept your aid and will not aid you. As a result, no forces were willing to help us during the catastrophe, so I wanted to learn more about the different worlds out there, rather than just staying here and living in peace. At this time, Palinda realized that although the little prince in front of him was still young, he already had a clear idea, and his various overtures could not affect him.

"What did you do in the palace before?, did you study?" said Dana, who interjected at this point, with an innocent expression on her face.

"I'm one of the executives of Dragon Wings. Wood thought for a moment, "My brother is better than me, he is the leader of the Dragon's Tooth Battalion. ”

"Dragonwing... I think it's the highest administrative body in your kingdom, right?" Parinda raised an eyebrow, "It's not easy for you to hold such a position at such a young age. ”

"That's because everyone lets me as a prince, and the affairs of Dragon Wing are very complicated, and there is nothing big about it. Wood clenched his hand, "Obviously, in two days, we will discuss the selection of outstanding dragon cubs in the future... And now—" The thought of the ruin of his country and his family made Wood feel uncomfortable.

"Wood, we're still fighting the dragons, so even if you want to leave, you shouldn't leave right away, stay with me for a while, and when the war is over, you can leave at any time. Palinda came up with another plan.

"Okay. Wood does not contradict this, he is accepted, and he can't repeatedly refute people's face, "If there is anything I can help with, please feel free to ask." ”

"Good. The queen smiled and nodded.

"Then you can be my tutor. Dana suddenly grabbed the prince's arm, "I've been learning a lot lately, you can help me take a look." ”

"I don't have to—" Wood was a little embarrassed, he didn't know anything about it, princess

How could he understand it.

"Let's see, come with me, and then leave it to my mother to arrange, come to me first!" Dana forced Wood to pull Wood out, and the prince, who was thin-skinned, followed her in two strokes, and before leaving, he turned his head to greet the queen.

The queen nodded, and she let the two boys and girls leave the garden, and she picked up a piece of refreshment, and she glanced at both sides, and the attendants withdrew.

"You'd love to keep that kid around. Suddenly, a woman's voice came from Palinda's side.

"He's probably the only survivor of Ucepold. Palinda didn't turn her head, she still looked at her snack.

"Your heart is upset. The reason is not because he is a survivor, but because he has royal blood. The voice seemed to see through Palinda, and it didn't give her a chance to hide it.

"He... With the blood of the Imperial Royal Family, if you can be with Dana, the shackles of Geis can disappear. Palinda frowned, looking at her expression must have caused a lot of waves in her heart.

"Yes, their children will no longer be women, they will no longer be beautiful, they will no longer be intelligent, they will become mediocre, and then Pamela will be completely destroyed. How tempting, huh?" the tone of the voice was sarcastic.

He didn't need to give everything he had to this kingdom, he could control everything by himself, time, energy, body, soul. Palinda seemed to retort, but her tone wasn't so confident.

"And then, to ruin everything that so many generations of queens have worked so hard to do, and to make the revival of the empire an empty talk, is that what you want?"

"My hope, who am I? I am nothing more than a puppet of Geis, a sacrifice, a sacrifice for the restoration of the Kingdom. Dana, too, and so are her children, who generations will never be able to get rid of. Palinda growled, the snack in her hand crushed.

"This is Queen Pamela's fate, if you want to leave, no one can stop you. But you know, this is tantamount to making all the sacrifices made by the previous people in vain, have you borne it?" the voice laughed, "Don't forget, if you want, you can marry Ucepold a long time ago, even if it's not you, the queens of the past can, why didn't they do it?"

"Modelella, don't say it!" the queen turned, but there were no communication runes there, nothing.

"You know, I'm not her. The voice echoed in her head again, "You just imagined me to be her." ”

"You are me, you are the curse, the curse of sacrificing us. Holding her head, Palinda looked pained.

"I will never force you, everything is up to you, for yourself or for the country. The voice disappeared after saying this.

Palinda looked up at the sky, then leaned down on the table, and she smiled, only sadly. This is the most real and vulnerable moment for the queen of Pamela, the key to liberation is at hand, but she has to tell herself that she can't be freed, she and her descendants must be trapped forever, even people with a heart like steel can hardly suppress such emotions in their hearts, fortunately, the people around her have left, and the crows are also ordered by her not to follow her today, and no one in this world has seen this scene. But the last time a squire bumped into the queen's state, a few days later the queen was pregnant with Dana, but the squire disappeared forever.
