Chapter 530: Two Little No Guesses (2)
Seeing the filth on her clothes and body, the queen frowned slightly, but did not say anything, until the girl looked up and saw her scarred face, which finally surprised the queen, and her pupils contracted suddenly.
Although it was recovered immediately, this small detail was captured by the sensitive girl. Suddenly, Asso lowered his head with some inferiority. He even hurriedly put the hat on his cloak over his head to cover his face.
The girl's actions stunned the queen, and she soon realized that she might have inadvertently hurt the girl.
The queen walked up to Asso, lowered herself slightly, made herself eye level with her, and asked, "Son, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... This, this, this ......"
As soon as the queen spoke, Asso immediately became nervous, stammering as he stretched out his hands slightly.
In her hand, she carefully held the sachet. The palm of the hand is stretched flat, as if I am afraid of getting dirty even if I fold it.
The queen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at her waist, only to find that the sachet that was originally hanging there was gone.
"Kid, did you pick this up and want to give it back to me?"
The queen took the sachet, touched the girl's head, and smiled softly at her: "Really, thank you, this is a gift that Vivi gave me a few days ago to celebrate my accession to the throne, if you lose it, it will be a real headache." ”
"No, no, no, no, no thanks!"
Being stroked by the queen's hair, Asso instantly blushed, and he felt a little flattered. Since she was a child, this is the first time that someone has done such an intimate gesture to her. What's more, this is the queen!
The queen not only complimented her, but also touched her head, which made Asso even feel like she was dreaming. Now she feels that all the pain and suffering she suffered just now are worth it.
Just when Asso was immersed in this kind of happiness impact, she suddenly felt the queen's action of touching herself froze, she subconsciously looked up, and found that the queen was staring blankly at the sachet in her hand, Aso looked at her line of sight, and then saw that in the corner of the sachet, it was actually stained with filth!
It was a stain mixed with blood, earth, and snow, and although it was only a little bit, it stood out on such a delicate and beautiful sachet.
How so? How can it get stained? She was obviously very well protected, and she was even afraid that her hands would stain the sachet before, so she also washed her hands with snow water.
Could it be......
Asso's eyes soon widened, and she realized the truth of the matter. It was precisely because of the lack of time that she washed her hands with snow water but did not wash them cleanly, and because she was nervous and sweating, the surface near the palm of her hand was stained.
"That's terrible......"
The queen frowned suddenly.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I, I'm ...... I'll take care of cleaning it up, I'm really sorry ......"
Asoe suddenly became nervous. I was scrambling to explain, but I didn't know what to say, so I could only bow and apologize in the end.
"That's a ...... It's too serious......"
Unexpectedly, the queen leaned down and gently pulled Aso's hands as she spoke, looking at the scars on the back of her hands, the queen couldn't help frowning.
At this time, the back of Asuo's hand was covered with purple bruises and frostbite, and large and small wounds were all over it, and blood was even oozing out in many places.
Such a tragic situation made the queen feel distressed.
"Who is this, it is better to do such a cruel thing, it is better than ......"
"Huh?"
Asso looked up in a daze, could it be that the 'serious' that the queen just said did not mean the sachet, but the ...... Own hands?
The queen looked at the girl's stunned expression, coupled with the previous sachet matter, and looked back at the street where she had walked, and already had some guesses in her heart.
"Kid, you didn't make yourself like this for the sake of the sachet, did you?"
"Huh? I...... I ......"
Aso stammered, not knowing whether to shake his head or nod his head at this point. Finally, under the gaze of the queen, she had no choice but to say weakly: "Because, this is something very important to Your Majesty...... So ......"
"What a stupid thing!"
Unexpectedly, the queen interrupted her directly this time, and said in a reprimanding tone: "No matter how important it is, it is just one thing, how can it be compared with others?" ”
How can you compare with people......
What does this mean...... Do you mean that you are more important than a sachet?
Aso stared blankly at the queen's close face, at such a close distance, she could even clearly feel the other party's breathing, and at this moment, the face of this peerless beauty was full of distress and pity.
Someone like her...... Is such a person who is abandoned by the world also valuable in the eyes of the queen......
Asso suddenly felt his eye frame heat up, and his eyes moistened a little. She snorted hurriedly, resisting the urge to cry.
"Quick, adjutant, what are you still doing in a daze, go get the plaster."
The queen commanded a woman behind her. After speaking, he hurriedly squatted down and condensed the water magic in his hand.
When Aso came back to her senses, she realized that her hands had been wrapped in a ball of clear water. This is a water-based spell created by the epic hero, the effect is powerful, and it is automatically cleaning her wounds, and even the queen has carefully warmed the water, which is now soaked in warm water, and Aso's originally frostbitten palm has gradually begun to regain consciousness.
After being immersed in warm water, her hands were warm and comfortable, and the queen even applied her a high-grade plaster from the palace herself.
Aso watched this scene in a daze the whole time, and even forgot to express his gratitude. Of course, if you really want her to thank her, she can't think of any words of thanks, because this is no longer just a feeling that can be expressed.
"What's your name, kid?"
"Huh? I, my name, Sophielan. ”
"Sophielan, a good name, then I'll call you Aso."
The queen smiled and bandaged Aso's wounds as she asked, "Aso, where are your parents?" ”
"I, I didn't...... Parents ......"
The queen paused, but recovered after a long time, and continued to ask, "Then, why are you wearing so little, isn't it cold?" ”
"This ...... I ......"
Asso didn't know how to answer this question.
The queen frowned slightly, and after bandaging the wound, she looked up at one of the people around her. This man is none other than the mayor of this town.
"Mayor Town, I remember that the relief materials for the winter were distributed a few years ago, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I personally ordered the supplies at that time. A little bit and no less. ”
"Oh? So what's going on? ”
The queen asked, pointing at Asso, looking at the mayor.
"This, this...... Your Majesty, there's a reason for that, not what you think? ”
"Oh? Not like that? What is the reason, you can make it clear, since the materials have been distributed, why have some people not received them? What's more, for such a young child, how dangerous should it be to have no clothes to wear in winter? ”
The Queen's voice had gradually turned cold. Whatever the reason, it was the mayor's duty to distribute supplies, and as things stand, there was no doubt that he had failed in his duties.
"This ......"
The mayor's forehead was already sweating, but the child's situation was so special that he really didn't know where to explain his nervousness in the face of the queen.
Seeing that the mayor of the town was speechless for a long time, the queen snorted coldly, ignored him anymore, and took Asso's hand instead.
"Asuo, you don't have to be afraid, tell me honestly, is this person bullying you and not sending you supplies for the winter? I can punish him on your behalf. ”
"No, it's not. Your Majesty, yes, it's my own problem, not the mayor. It's true...... I, I'm because ...... Because ......"
Asso hurriedly explained, but when it came to the specific reason, she couldn't say anything.
The supplies in the town are distributed according to the family, and if there are orphans without families, they will be distributed to the orphanage and the children will collect them in person.
This kind of thing is naturally fine for other children, but Aso is different, she is very resistant to the orphanage, or rather, very scared, every time she enters it, she will inevitably receive a bunch of ridicule or pity from other children, and her ugly appearance will even scare a few new children every time. So for Asso, she would rather live a hard life than go to that place to get something. That's what led to the current situation.
However, how can she tell the queen such an inferiority complex? If she really said it, I wonder if she would think she was a coward because of this...... Although he is indeed a coward......
Just as Aso was in a hurry, an adjutant hurried up to the queen and whispered something to her. The lieutenant was in charge of the herald, and she had just asked the townspeople about the girl's situation, so she immediately came to explain it to the queen.
The queen nodded, thought for a moment, and walked over to the girl's side.
"Aso, since you don't have a home to go to, would you like to go back to the palace with me?"
"The Emperor...... Ay? The Imperial Palace? ”
Asso was stunned for a second, then finally reacted, couldn't help but take a step back, and cried out in surprise.
"The palace refers to...... The royal palace in the city of Aspiro? ”
She confirmed with some incredulity.
"yes, yes."
The queen nodded and smiled, "How is it, do you want to go back with me?" ”
After getting a definite answer again, Asso finally confirmed that the queen was really inviting her to the palace!
The palace is a place that all the clansmen yearn for, and I wonder how many children dream of working in the palace in the future. For Asso, this is something that is even more unthinkable, let alone the palace, even if she can go to Aspiro City once in her life to see her, she will die without regrets.
