Chapter 66: The Queen's Game
"Ugh! Call...... Call...... Whew......"
After another nightmare, a young girl's body broke out in a cold sweat. Woke up after a slight tremor - Tessa? Queen Lannister groaned in pain as ever. The girl in her sleep was tormented by fear and pain, and there was naturally no dignity or strength in her confusion - she sobbed softly.
"Your Majesty......"
On the side, the maid who had been serving her was startled by her slight sobs. They rushed around her, wiping the sweat from her body, trying not to touch the cursed places on her body—the skin covered in leather armor.
"Whew......" After sobering up, the queen bit the tip of her numb tongue and stubbornly stopped sobbing. With the help of others, he sat up gently. This pain has tormented her since she ascended to the throne years ago, but every day is torture, never getting used to it: "I...... It's okay! Come, wipe my body and call my court doctor, I feel fine today, serve me to change my clothes, and I have to take care of some personal matters. ”
Covering half of her already cursed face, Tessa? The Lannister made a smiling face with the still wonderful half of his face.
"Yes......" The several maids who served her were slightly distressed, but they were happy to see that the queen was in good spirits today. I don't know if this little happiness in the midst of endless pain is worth blessing, but they are helpless: "Your Majesty, what do you want to do today-"
“…… Let the eagles go. "Favorite activity in your usual life, Tessa? Lannister loves eagles but not dogs. She likes to watch the eagle soar through the sky, and sometimes she can even watch the eagle soar for an afternoon. Maybe it had something to do with her fate? Legend has it that after she was born, she was baptized, and in the name of God, an eagle flew (lying in the groove felt like a cow breaking). And her original coronation ceremony also had a flying eagle entering the church, spreading its wings and standing above her head, posing is also quite powerful and domineering.
Whether these legends are man-made or not, Tesa anyway? The Lannisters usually like to look at the eagles rising freely above the sky.
Several of the royal healers who had been prepared for a long time were hunched over, dressed as heretics, natives, and subhumans of different races. They stood in front of the queen one after another and began to change dressings and bandages intensively.
"I had a dream—" In the weekday chat, Tessa? The Lannisters were more talkative, if they had the strength to do so: "I dreamed of what Duke Amon did to me at first, and it was amusing how protective he was of me. ”
"Duke Amon is a glorious knight and a good man." At Tessa's side, a maid whispered, "Actually, it might be better for the regent to only have his words—"
"Uh-huh...... Who knows, he's too conservative. Tessa snorted noncommittally, and did not blame the maid beside her for commenting on national affairs: "He is not my own uncle, and he is not going to provoke too many heretics." He didn't think he was a match for heretics and demons with wolves around him - to be fair, not even him at the time, so look back at me. A 13 or 4-year-old cursed man in silence under a mask, can he be? ”
"Duke Amun...... Maybe just hope for peace. ”
"yes...... He did the right thing, and I just want to be safe. Her Majesty stood up and waited for someone to change her clothes. At this time, the imperial doctor around him retreated without the slightest intention of staying half a step, and the queen did not look at them as if these medicines were dispensable: "But his overly cautious mentality is not very good, he should attack when it is time to attack, so that he can exchange for a longer peace." ”
"Isn't that someone like Duke Renard?" A maid mentioned another duke, the guy who sent the girl to the plot as soon as Levi entered the city: "That's ...... I don't feel well every time I see him. ”
"Then you should not see him." smiled and comforted his maid, Her Majesty's clothes are more cumbersome - mainly to wrap the body tightly: "This method is very useful, I have always faced things that are not high~~~ like this." But he was also an integral part of the kingdom, and he was irritable and suppressed all these years. It might have been better if he and Amon had really been like this; Pity...... Ah, I'm going to have to take a chance to live a few more years. What about you...... My personal advice is that I run as far as I can before I die, and rest assured that I will pay you a full pension and take the boat back to the Old World—beware of robbers on the way, for my choice of maids is conditional on the selection of beautiful ones. ”
"Your Majesty—" Several of the maids did not seem very reluctant to hear the Queen's declaration of almost treason.
"Eh, that's not important...... But speaking of these two green onions. It's hard to imagine that the sickly queen usually calls her optimism: "Isn't it quite happy to have been making trouble lately?" It was the mobilization of the royal army, and the mobilization of troops in the name of fighting the demons - in the end, the demons still did not succeed, but a ...... appeared out of thin air with a 'large army' to the holy land That 'dirty' guy! ”
"Dirty?" A group of maids didn't seem to understand very well.
"Is that Titus? Levi - I wondered how he showed up, hmph, with a dirty smell all over his body. The queen commented to the emperor, the clothes were already dressed, and she herself put on the mask: "Haven't the two shallots under my hand been quite interested in this garlic lately?" Tut...... It's time for the results to come out, right? Who got the 'heart' of our new earl? ”
“…… It's the Duke of Amun, Your Majesty. There is nothing to be done about the Queen's rotten girl plot, but the maids are actually joking when they think of the Queen: "The news that came yesterday is said to be full of ambition when the Duke of Amon returns. And the Duke of Renard......"
"Well, as expected—I've heard that Renard's temper doesn't seem to have a good relationship with the new earl." The queen smiled, but was not very happy: "Renard does not have the support of this new nobleman...... Well, in this case, did Amon add a few more points? It's a bit too strong, right? It's time to cut again. ”
Speaking of this, Tessa sighed, as if she was a little powerless to get up early in the morning to face a lifetime's work: "But look at my body...... I don't know how long I can keep the balance. Forget it, let's get by, this is still something I can say. Help me with my purpose—"
"Yes, Your Majesty—"
"Summoning the new Earl Levi into the palace...... With his supposedly strange 'attendant'. Her Majesty smiled with a punishing smile on her face: "And give me a message privately: let him bring his deck of cards, otherwise I will personally lead the king to crusade against him!" Didn't he say that I was the queen and that he was the emperor? - Let him become an emperor and show me! ”
