Chapter 76: The Heart of a King

"You see, the one to your left (Maria) has a cold expression, but is staring at the people around her all the time. At first glance, it is the type that will kick others in the face at a glance, but this kind of person is willing to be your guard...... The most important thing is that she is beautiful; Look at the one to your right (Ophelia), one standing silently behind you, as silent as a moving doll, but staring at you all the time, not taking any look off me, very good squire - I like it, of course, mainly because of its good looks. The black-skinned one is a little bit worse, but the main thing is that it's also good-looking, and I like it very much. ”

Unabashedly telling his preferences and good and evil, Her Majesty made a declaration that she liked beautiful women. Gently commenting on the armed maid beside Levi, he didn't care at all about Maria's unkind gaze and was not angry, but expected with joy.

"You know, if I was in good health, I would have run out to be some kind of lily queen - the whole world will be my scandal, it's a pity, it's a pity."

"Aren't you quite diligent now?" Levi pointed to the rolls of ...... on the table Parchment? "I think it's much happier than I am."

"Don't you think I'm basically not going to do anything? Managing the garbage under my hands also makes me happy - tsk, I think it's a simple thing to do, but a bunch of garbage just can't do it well, so I can only do it myself. ”

The queen commented unceremoniously on her subordinates, such as a few family treasures: "Duke Amon is too cowardly, and Renard is too capable of pretending to be 13." I also have a few dukes who are either imbeciles or have taken up the queue early. A few counts pretended to be garlic with me when they became independent, of course, I had personally led the troops to their house to play, and the result was, of course, that they did not have a good life - it is normal for traitors to come out of the court, the problem is that I can still manage them when I am alive, and what if I die? ”

The queen snorted, and Levi really couldn't believe that he was talking to a teenage girl about this rather sensitive issue. The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl lay down on a gorgeous and expensive cotton felt and said, "Do you know why I spend all my energy every day to govern this country? I was going to be a faint king. ”

"Uh...... Why? ”

"Because I'm capable, I'm powerful, I'm pretty much omnipotent -- except that I'm about to die." The queen's hand was raised weakly, and she sighed: "A year? Two years? Or longer? Or shorter? It doesn't matter, I know I have the ability, it's simple. I can save countless lives with a wave of my hand and an order, and on the battlefield I easily knead those enemies who are several times my size; Of course, I've been getting more and more powerless in politics lately, and I'm ...... It's so tiring. But you see, isn't it good that I have governed the Holy Land? The people do not say that they live and work in peace and contentment, but at least they perform their own duties. The enemy cannot come in, and we defend this false peace. ”

"Oh?" Levi seemed to realize something, and suddenly felt that the other party had a good heart: "I...... See what you mean. I know what you're going to do – but why would you want to do it? ”

"Oh? You understand what I'm going to do? ”

"Well--because of your existence, the country is stable, and the foreign country does not dare to attack--but as soon as you die, it will all be as dusty as the 'house of cards'." Levi didn't quite understand why the other party was so thankless, but he seemed to understand something.

"Hmm...... The metaphor is good, and the understanding is in place, but you are not me after all. Queen Tessa gasped a few times and suddenly laughed: "Hahaha...... Because it's funny—a sinner, a cursed, a queen that the world looks down upon. She lived less than 20 years, but she maintained the stability of the kingdom. However, the nobles, the lords, and the defenders of the Holy Land fought each other after the death of the queen because of their own selfish interests. Let the demons take advantage of the situation, the demons tear the country apart, and everyone is cursed after the death of the cursed - you see, my family has given everything to this land, but the people of this land want the last person of my family to die quickly, and a new uncursed king will come up to rule them well - good! All right! No problem, I'll die soon! I'm going to work hard, I'm going to fight, I'm going to ...... cough cough cough ...... cough cough cough ......"

The queen of the end coughed violently, and several maids around her anxiously lifted her back to wipe her sweat. Eventually, the queen coughed up a few mouthfuls of black blood that stuck to the handkerchief - and the maid took the handkerchief and threw it directly into the brazier.

"Whew...... Feels so much better. Wiping the corners of her eyes or the tears that flowed from her violent coughing, the queen took a deep breath and rinsed her mouth: "I...... I...... Well, forget it, let's not talk about it. ”

"You've said a lot, just feel better." Levi didn't look at the girl queen in front of him with pity, this life experience was miserable enough: "But you look forward to the collapse of the kingdom after your death, aren't you afraid that others will know?" ”

That's the most interesting thing -- because what if they knew? Can you still put down your sword and negotiate well? The girl smiled, stood up tremblingly, walked to the opposite side of Levi and asked him to move a chair and sit down: "Especially for people like you, I tell you that this country will face unprecedented disasters in the near future...... What do you think? Will you go back to the Old World? No, you're still going to struggle in this land, and it's not about fame and fortune. ”

The Queen's hand lay flat on the long table shared by Levi and her, and her tone was playful and languid: "This has nothing to do with our fate, Count. Sometimes I wonder what if I didn't have a curse in my life. The answer is simply unimaginable. ”

"Hmm...... That's right, it only has to do with our fate. Levi nodded in agreement with the other party's statement: "I'm also thinking about what it would be like if I didn't come here in my life, and the answer is unimaginable - don't be nervous, I'm not a good person." ”

"Hahaha...... Rest assured, I'm not nervous...... Ahem. ”

"Then the nervous ones are coming." Levi hooked his fingers, and Bartty, the drow elf princess beside him, lowered her eyebrows and took a few steps forward. In the queen's puzzled eyes, Levi said: "For the good of the people around you, let the people around you who can't be trusted go down." ”

“? Then there will be no one around me. The queen smiled and motioned for all but the two maids to stand down: "What are you going to do?" Assassinate me? Or lure me with a female (meow mimi) sex hook (meow mimi)? Male color (meow mimi) seduces (meow mimi) to confuse me? - Declare in advance that all my desires are cursed and gone, and this trick is useless. ”

"Who in this world can be trusted? Not a single one, right? ”

"Your story didn't move me much just now (it's actually quite sad), but now I suddenly feel that you are a little pathetic, and everyone around me can trust you." Levi felt that he could no longer trust these maids, and that he would die. Watching the attendants beside the queen retreat one by one, Levi said, "Introduction, my ...... Slave girl. ”

"Oh? …… Why? Show off? ”

"Well, there's a reason for that. There is another side-" Levi pointed to the black beauty and said, "Her other identity is the princess of the Drow Elves...... How old is it? ”

"Seventh." Barty said with a low brow.

"Poof...... Hahaha...... You, your jokes are so funny - ahem, ahem. The queen wiped the corners of her mask, stroked her chest, and said, "If you want to say that this is a half-blood, or this is a wood elf or something, I believe it." Elves are everywhere these days, and half-bloods aren't as valuable as they were hundreds of years ago, thanks to the efforts of the slave traders to hybridize and sow - but the drow elves ...... Those natural masters, you say that this kind of thing will also lower your eyebrows and be pleasing to the eyes? Who are you fooling? ”

"No, believe it or not, I'm here to report."

Levi pointed at Barty and said, "This is a human testimony I brought to you, the demon clan has gathered the armies of various countries and plans to do it, as for whether you believe it or not...... Doesn't matter. ”

"Oh? Ho Ho ...... How dare you say it. The queen had a contemptuous look in her eyes and said with a smile: "If the armies of various countries plan to do it, it is impossible for my people to ......"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!! ――”

As in response to the occasion, there was a rush of footsteps from far and near. A panting knight in light armor ran over, fell to his knees and shouted, "Your Majesty! - The demons are coming! More than 50,000 people! The vanguard is directed at Du Lorraine, Du Fengluo, and Malorne has fallen! Lord Count Barossa was killed in battle, and the two Viscounts, Nayo and Ney, begged for help! ”

"Hmmm???!!!"

This time, the queen couldn't help but believe it, Levi's territory was in the northwest, and the direction of the demon attack was southwest, so it was impossible to receive the news faster than herself. What does this mean? Is it really......

The queen glanced at Levi, then gasped, "Really, I still want to play cards with you...... Come! Ring my death knell, assemble the ministers! And unleash the blockade! -- Tell the nations that there is a war! ”
