17 Her majesty, Her Royal Highness
"Queen...... Your Highness?" Such an unusual title made even Lin surprised for a while, and some people around her who were still unclear about the situation also fell to their knees in panic after hearing it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The girl whom Barton called the queen walked gradually, with a very different pace from the others, obviously an aristocratic step that only a well-educated person could learn, and Lin could appreciate the noble aura that emanated from her just by looking at it.
Behind the girl, followed by three young men.
The one on the left is a dark-haired man with a sword at his waist, he has a cold expression, although his eyes seem to be looking for a hidden threat, and he looks like a knight guarding the girl.
The girl on the right, dressed in a very beautiful maid outfit, with short purple hair and a sunny smile, makes people feel capable and refreshing, so it seems that she should be a maid in charge of daily life.
In comparison, the blonde man who followed the girl was less eye-catching. Although the man was wearing a noble dress, but his face was full of cowardice, he was not commensurate with the gorgeous and noble clothes at all, saying that he was a nobleman, but in fact he was more like a commoner who was bullied, Lin looked at it for a long time and didn't see what effect this person followed.
"Father Barton, the two young ladies are still young, and this must be an unintentional mistake, so I hope you will spare them this time for my sake. "Although the girl is asking for others, she is making her own request without losing the dignity of the royal family.
"Since His Highness said so, then let them be spared this time. Barton said, glancing at his men, and the men who had already retreated immediately retreated.
Soldiers began to appear all around, and the worshippers who watched the excitement were slowly separated and gradually left the church. Within minutes, only Lynn, Father Barton, and the Empress and her guards were left on the scene.
"Father Patton, there have been many disappearances of young girls in the imperial capital recently, and Your Majesty ordered me to come this time just to ask the powerful priest of the intelligence network if you have any clues. The girl crossed her hands over her chest with a meaningful smile on her face.
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere of the scene became very strange, and silence seemed to be the only thing here. Barton bowed his head and was silent, and the knight behind the girl also held a sword in his right hand, ready to strike at any time. Lynn didn't know the background of the church and the country, but even so, she couldn't make out what the girl meant.
This is clearly a suspicion of the priest.
"Ahaha. Father Barton laughed, and smiled easily. "Your Majesty really thinks so highly of me, I'm just a priest, where is there any intelligence network. ”
"Yes, there are more than a million people in the Reliaga Empire who are your believers, and there are many relatives and friends of the priest who hold important positions in the palace, plus the priest, you were also a member of the imperial intelligence agency in your early years, and the priest said that there is no intelligence network, which is really unconvincing. The girl walked to the statue of the goddess in front of her, and leaned her forehead lightly against it, curious about the fact that she used her forehead without using her hands. "Ah, it feels so good, it's not only warm but also very slippery, like real skin, this idol must be made of Rajkkin, right?"
"Your Highness is really well-informed, yes, it is indeed made of Rajkkin. Barton bowed in respect.
"Ah, it seems that there are really a lot of believers in your place, no matter where the Rajk gold is sold, it is a sky-high price, even in the royal palace, the only thing that uses the Rajk gold is His Majesty's throne, and you have the ability to build eleven such tall statues here. The girl said and looked back at Barton.
"Ah...... We can't be stingy with the elemental gods, and it's our believers' job to build their idols with the best materials. Barton said as he reached out and touched the statue of the goddess, not so much touching a statue as touching a woman's skin. "Moreover, the goddess is so beautiful, how can she not highlight her beauty to attract believers?"
"Uh......h It's disgusting...... Lilia felt uncomfortable all over......" At this time, Lilia, who was hiding behind Lynn, suddenly moved, and her two hands kept touching her body.
"How...... What's wrong, Lilia, are you feeling unwell?" Lilia's behavior also made Lynn in front of her notice, and she was startled by Lilia, she touched Lilia's forehead and felt her body temperature.
"Lilia...... Lilia ...... I feel like the uncle over there...... It's disgusting......" Lilia said and pointed in the direction of Barton, who also cast a vicious look, and Lilia, who couldn't see it, seemed to feel his disgust, and shrank directly behind Lynn's back.
"Father Barton, you are magnanimous, and I guess a child's gibberish would not suggest it, would you?" The girl smiled.
"I certainly wouldn't suggest. Barton said as he looked at Lilia and Lynn who was guarding her in front of her. "But I hope they can take care of themselves, this time the offense to the elemental god is settled, but next time, there is no guarantee. ”
Barton left the half-threatening-sounding remark and turned to leave the hall.
"Your Highness, Patton has abundant funds, a strong intelligence network, and has forces all over the empire, if you don't get rid of it as soon as possible, it will be a scourge sooner or later, I suggest that I report the situation here to Your Majesty after I go back this time, and discuss countermeasures. If His Majesty agrees to this, he is willing to lead troops there. As soon as Barton had left, the knight stepped forward to make his own suggestion.
"Having said that, it is definitely not easy to eradicate his forces, and his "Broken Dreams" is the most elite mage unit in the Empire, and our soldiers are estimated to be difficult to resist. Geralt, you are powerful, but you alone are no match for thousands of magicians, and we have to think about it in the long run. After the girl finished speaking, she gently patted her skirt and breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, the girl was very funny and didn't stand still, and fell directly to the ground, while the maid behind smiled helplessly.
"Uh......h It's not easy to be dignified in front of others in this way. The girl also laughed, and she couldn't tell that this was Her Royal Highness just now.
"Your Highness, you have worked hard enough, I will make a good dinner to replenish your strength after I go back this time. The maid tidied up her clothes so that the queen would not show her bad side in front of others.
"That's hard work for you. The girl smiled politely, and only after she had taken care of everything did she turn to look at Lynn and the others. "Be careful next time, this church hides a lot of secrets, we suspect that Father Patton has something to do with the disappearance of the young girl, next time you must come out with your parents, remember?"
Her Royal Highness smiled very gently, but it was a pity that Lin, who was afraid of life, couldn't stand her attitude and avoided it directly, which made someone feel a big blow.
"Thank you, big sister. Unlike Lynn, Lilia pounced happily, grabbing the girl's hands and rubbing her chest affectionately.
Unexpectedly, the girl had a frightened expression on her face and pushed Lilia away......
