Accounting (II)
In the deepest part of the palace, in the bedchamber of Her Majesty the Queen.
The Queen looked at Rodhart, who was with the cardinal, her whole face twitching nervously. "You already know ......"
"Yes, I already know. Finish. Rodhart nodded silently.
"I'm not human anymore......" the queen's voice was filled with tears, tears rolling down her eyes.
"Don't worry, it's okay. No matter what you have become, you will remain the same in my heart. You're still you. Rodhart smiled a little sadly, reached out and touched the queen's face, gently wiping away her tears. "So neither of us had a choice, and we had no choice but to stand on the same side as the Bishop. This time, the Bishop and I came to you because we had something to ask for your help. Listen to me, we're going to ......"
When she had heard what Rodhart had said, the queen's whole body trembled, and she said in a trembling voice, "What, do you want me to summon them all here and kill them now?"
"It's just four or five old guys from the military, it's not a big deal. Bishop Javi said lightly.
The queen shook her head: "No." General Thomas, Old Marquis of Minsk, Chancellor of Jensen...... These are the veterans of the two dynasties, the important ministers of the court, and His Majesty and Roland found ...... when they returned."
"They can't come back. The cardinal smiled and shook his head, speaking slowly with an overwhelming confidence. "Even if they're not dead now, I can guarantee that they won't come back if I want to. The biggest obstacle no longer exists, and I can say that there are no scruples in this royal capital. And don't worry, the guilt of killing them will never fall on us, and some of the kings will bear it for us. ”
The queen looked at Cardinal and Rodhart. Unbelievable, "You want to usurp the throne?"
The cardinal smiled and shook his head: "Usurpation? impossible. Neither of us has the qualifications to ascend to the throne, let alone the interest. He reached out and pointed at the Queen. "We're just helping your baby ascend to the throne. ”
"My child, I don't have children......" The queen shook her head in confusion. She knew she didn't have and never would have children.
"I can find a way for you to have. Even if it's not possible, if I say yes. Then no one will not believe it, dare not believe it. And as long as these most respected ministers die, the empire will not be in the hands of the three of us. And as long as I do a little trick, the responsibility of becoming the regent and assisting the throne will naturally fall into the hands of Rodhart......"
"No~" the queen screamed. If it weren't for the fact that the surrounding subordinates had already been ordered to stay away, I am afraid that this sound would have attracted a lot of people. She looked at Bishop Javi with a somewhat hysterical expression. "What the hell are you going to do? I can give it to you if you want a magic academy, and you still threaten him? and put your hand on the Empire......"
"As I said, I don't have much interest in this empire. Interested is him. Bishop Javi pointed to Rodhart. "Do you think I threatened him to stand with me? ”
"You ......," the queen looked at Rodhart.
Rodhart shook his head and sighed. He said, "I'm going to find out what it's going to do? You just need to know that now that's all we can do." If you think about it, if we don't do this, then if Your Majesty finds out your identity one day...... It's safest and best for us to do that......"
The queen shook her head tremblingly and interrupted Rodhart's words: "You actually want to kill Your Majesty and usurp the throne, what should my sister do...... Why do you have to involve me? I don't want these ......."
Rodhart said slowly, "But since this has happened, we have to face it. That's why I asked Bishop Javi to ......."
"Face? Didn't I tell you to go with me? If we leave together, how can we still have these things to face? Just to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, for those powers**. He also said it so nicely...... "The queen is already full of tears." She slid limply off the couch. Fall to your knees. "If you really still love me, why don't you go away with me? I'm a woman, women don't want much, just a man they like, a belonging is enough......"
"But I'm a man. Rodhart said in a deep voice. "A man can't just have one woman. Because men have to face the whole world, so except for this world. There is no more home. ”
The queen raised her teary eyes and looked at Rodhart in amazement. In her impression, this man is always so gentle, so kind, it seems that the words gentleness, mellow and beautiful are spokespeople in reality, and nothing else seems to be visible, as if this man cannot have other emotions except those gentle and beautiful. Now I don't know why, his voice and expression are stirring with things he has never seen before, these things are harder, colder, heavier, but also incomparably powerful, this is the real emotion that has been precipitated in his heart, the emotion of being a man.
"Men see farther and wider than women, and they have more things to face, so no matter how beautifully emotional, you can't dwell on it and ignore the rest, that's an escape. Rodhart also crouched down and put his arm on the queen's shoulder. There was something strange about his expression right now. Although these are indeed his true emotions, it seems that it is not so easy to show in front of people in terms of his city and scheming. And his voice grew deeper and more earnest: "Come with me, Chrissy. If you want to be my woman, come with me. ”
The queen hugged Rodhart tightly and cried, "No...... I beg you, don't do that...... Shall we leave together?"
Finally, Rodhart slowly broke free of the Queen's hand and stood up. There was disappointment, sadness, grief, and a kind of desolate determination in his eyes when he looked at the queen.
The cardinal, who had been watching from the sidelines, shook his head lightly and sighed, "Chris, the twists and turns over the years have not allowed you to grow up, and you are just a little woman after all. If only you could be as capable and mature as your sister. ”
Although in extreme grief, the queen could not help but look at Bishop Javi in surprise at this strange remark. But Bishop Javi no longer looked at her, but at Rodhart, and said, "How......? She's just a little woman after all. She can't afford these things, and she can't do them. ”
Rodhart didn't speak, still looking at the queen with that look. The color of the pain is getting heavier and heavier. Finally, he turned his head and whispered, "Actually, I already knew, but ...... I still hope ......" his voice grew lower. "Forget it...... Do it......"
The weeping queen was stunned, and before she could react, she felt a sharp pain in her limbs.
The sword glowed with white magic danced in the air in a brilliant sword flower before sinking into the scabbard at the cardinal's waist. The queen lay on the ground with a wail, black smoke rising from the wounds on her hands and feet. With a wave of Bishop Javi's hand, the white magic light completely enveloped the queen's figure.
"Stop struggling. The time for your bloodline to awaken is too short, and your strength is too weak, the key is that I helped you fully awaken, so you are similar to a rag doll in my hands. Don't blame me, and I don't blame your lover, we have given you a chance, and you can only blame you for not accepting it. If you don't want to take the initiative to help but know too much, sacrificing yourself will help us more than living. Bishop Javi pulled the queen up and put her on the bed. The Queen's hands and feet twitched. The mouth also opened. But it didn't work, not only could she not move in the light of this white magic land, but she couldn't even seem to speak.
"Everyone knows about the vampire biting Her Majesty the Queen a year ago, plus the cardinal and the priests and priests of the Academy of Magic have certified it together, whether others want to believe it or not, this is absolutely irrefutable. And as long as this identity is recognized. Then many things can be logically followed, such as colluding with Deya Valley to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor and Captain Roland...... The rest of the land just needs to get those old guys done as soon as possible, you take over the Holy Knights, and I take over the Academy of Magic to support you, and this huge Aenfast Empire is in your pocket. Bishop Javi patted Rodhart on the shoulder and said. "Give up a feeling, get a country. No matter how this account is calculated, it is also compatible. ”
Rodhart still did not dare to look at the queen on the bed again, although his expression was still mainly silent sadness, but there was a little excitement in it that could not be concealed, and the two completely different emotions made his expression strange. After a long silence he asked Bishop Javi: "Give me all this country?
The cardinal smiled faintly and said, "I said earlier, as long as you take control of this country, you will also send troops to attack Oufu. As soon as Oufu is destroyed, what you want is nothing more than a sword, a woman. Naturally, the woman I want will not be this kind of little woman. ”
Although the queen lying on the bed couldn't move or speak, she could still listen, cry and be sad. If her heart could really be broken, her heart would be full of holes now. Watching and listening to the man she loves and relies on the most give up himself as a prop and a stepping stone, which is the most fatal injury to any woman.
It's just that she doesn't know that this is also the fate of people like her. This is not actually the ruthlessness of others, but her own incompetence. If you can't get the approval of others, you don't have the ability to be a companion of the other party, but you still have to get along with each other, then the final outcome is only a doll or a tool.
"Lord Rodhart, the fourth squad leader of the Holy Knights has something important to report...... At this time, a voice came from outside the dormitory.
The cardinal and Rodhart looked at each other, this was the person they had sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inspect the situation, and this was the news they had been waiting for. Rodhart said in a deep voice, "Just say it outside." How's it going?"
"Report to your Excellency. The Prime Minister is still in the Prime Minister's Mansion on official business. Nothing out of the ordinary has ever happened. ”
"Huh?" Bishop Javi and Rodhart looked at each other again, but this time their eyes were full of surprise.
They came to the palace as soon as possible in a hurry, but they didn't completely ignore the Prime Minister's Mansion, but sent a few members of the Paladins to reconnoiter the situation there. But they had no idea that it would be such an outcome. Even if the news came back that the Prime Minister's Mansion had been razed to the ground and a great war broke out that affected thousands of people, they would not be so surprised.
"Did you really look into it?" Rodhart asked in a muffled voice.
"The three of us have visited the Bishop at the same time, questioned the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and visited the Prime Minister's Mansion, but we did not find anything out of the ordinary. The answer outside the door was affirmative and confident. In fact, the members of the Holy Knights do have the ability to be confident, and since they say that there is no abnormality, then there will be no abnormalities if others go to check carefully.
"Got it, stand down. Rodhart commanded in a deep voice. It wasn't until the footsteps had faded away that he turned to look at Bishop Javi. "How so? Did we guess wrong?"
"Did they really not go to the Prime Minister......'s Mansion? Where will it go?" Bishop Javi's expression was now more solemn than ever, and the calm expression and confidence that had always been faint were gone. He seemed to be sensing now that maybe not everything was under his control as he thought it would be.
After pondering for a moment, Rodhart snorted: "No matter, whether that kid tells the Prime Minister about us or not, we can ignore it." Anyway, we rushed over to deal with this place, just to prevent accidents from happening on the Prime Minister's side. As soon as Chriss's identity as a vampire here is revealed, her influence can be minimized. And without his influence, even if that kid escaped from the marquis, he would only be a single horse, and he would not affect the overall situation.
Bishop Javi also nodded, and now the tacit understanding between these two people seems to have reached a considerable height. "Now as long as we continue to do what we need to do, it doesn't matter what happens to that kid after that. ”
After a short time, the cardinal came to the outside of the dormitory, found the attendants waiting outside, and issued an order: "Pass me and Lord Rodhart, and Her Majesty the Queen's order, and call General Thomas and Minsk at once...... There is also the Prime Minister's coming to the palace, there are thousands of urgent matters. ”
