Zhou Jinru looked in the direction of the sound, there was nothing, except for the waiter standing in the corner, there were only him and the queen in the restaurant.

"You're always wandering."

The queen noticed Zhou Jinru's abnormality and put down the knife and fork in her hand.

Zhou Jinru shook his head: "I want to go out for a walk, you know, I am a wanderer, I have never been to the palace, and I feel depressed here." ”

"Okay, you can move in the front hall, my lady will take you there, don't run around, the structure of the palace is complicated, don't get lost."

Zhou Jinru nodded, walked backwards and left, his eyes fell on the queen's face, which was Vina's face, but her expression and posture were different.

Eyes wandered down, and the last thing I saw was the Sword of Eden leaning against his hand.

The queen has a habit of touching the sword from time to time, even when eating, and if it is not deliberately observed, it is easy to ignore this action, at least subconsciously it will feel normal.

Zhou Jinru left the restaurant behind the female officer, and on the way to the front hall, the female officer was curious: "Sir, what did the queen say to you?" ”

"You should ask the Queen."

"No, I don't dare to ask, I don't dare to take the initiative to ask the Queen."

As when I came, the antechamber was quiet, and there was no one.

Standing at the top of the brightly lit marble corridor, Zhou Jinru supported the guardrail with both hands, looking down, and he didn't know when there were three more phantoms on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the two dukes are waiting for you in the study."

The tall man holding the little girl nodded and half-squatted down in front of the little girl: "I'm sorry, Dad still has a little thing to deal with, I'll accompany you a little later." ”

The little girl couldn't hide her frustration: "That's ......"

"Dad does what he says, see what this is?"

The man has an extra pair of rivets in his palm, the kind that can be found everywhere, even on the side of the road.

"This one is given to you, it is regarded as a promise from Dad, it is yours, remember, it can only be given to the most important person."

With rivets in her little hands, the girl looked at the man's distant back, and they slowly disappeared.

"Sir."

With a call, Zhou Jinru came back to his senses, and he knew that the female official was standing behind him.

He asked, "It's quite big, why does it seem that Her Majesty lives alone?" ”

"This is the palace, of course only Her Majesty, is there anything wrong?"

Zhou Jinru did not speak.

The king is not the only one living in Victoria's royal palace, some members of the royal family will stay in the palace, and the antechamber is the political center, where a considerable number of officials will work, and it is also the heart of the country.

Along the way, he saw nothing, except for the statue-like guards, and the people who were able to move except the queen, the female officer behind him.

"Aren't there any officials at work during the day?"

"Yes, it happened to be a day off, so they didn't come."

That's too much of a coincidence, isn't there any? There is no one on duty even at night.

Zhou Jinru sighed and took the initiative to say: "Her Majesty the Queen asked me if I could stay, I guess she wants me to be a court poet, maybe she likes me to tell stories." ”

The lady affirmed: "Sir, you should consider the queen's suggestion, for so long, the queen is really lonely, she has been waiting for someone, no matter how she waits, even if she searches for everyone in Lentinium, it is not what she wants." ”

"Actually, I'm looking for someone too."

Zhou Jinru tilted his head, supported the guardrail with both hands, jumped over, jumped down from the guardrail more than four meters high, and landed smoothly on the ground.

His actions stunned the female officer, and she hurriedly shouted: "Sir, it's dangerous! ”

Zhou Jinru didn't seem to hear the shouting behind him, he saw a small figure, quickened his pace and followed, through a long corridor, to a storage room at the end.

Pushing open the door, a disassembled steam mecha appeared in front of him.

The mottled traces of the metal shell, a few holes on the surface, it seems that it has been beaten by some sharp weapon, it is clear that this piece of equipment is obsolete, the internal power plant has been dismantled and thrown aside, it does not have any ability to move.

The figure of the little girl was just a few meters away, staring intently at the steam mecha, holding a small hammer in her hand, thinking about how to find more secrets in this big guy.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and the sound of footsteps running, and it was impossible to quiet down.

The little girl glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, it was half past ten in the evening, and it was almost time to go to bed.

Zhou Jinru also followed her line of sight, and the clock was fixed at that moment, and the phantom of the little girl passed through his body, pushed open the door and ran out.

Following in her footsteps, more and more phantoms appeared around them, and they gathered around the marble cloister of the antechamber, making frightened sounds.

Guards with weapons came en masse to take control of the situation.

No one cared about the small figure, she squeezed into the crowd with difficulty, it was a corpse lying in a pool of blood, looking at the angle, it seemed to have fallen from a height.

"Daddy......"

Someone finally noticed her presence, and a sigh hit her fragile heart, and the grief and pain had not yet broken her, because of the rivets held in the palm of her hand.

"I've been waiting for someone."

All the shadows disappeared, and the queen wearing the golden crown stood not far away, her expression indifferent, but her tone was indescribably sad.

She couldn't wait for the one who made the promise.

"I don't know if he'll come."

The queen held the Sword of Eden in her hand, and as she walked step by step, she asked the previous question again.

"Would you like to stay?"

Without waiting for Zhou Jinru to answer, she continued: "I'm wondering, are you that special person, if you are willing to stay, as the queen's husband, you will have a duke title, as well as the title of prince, and the subjects of this country will respect you, as long as you want." ”

Zhou Jinru was speechless, every time Wei Na said that she wanted to be a prince, she would stop halfway through the conversation, and now she said it completely, the temptation can be imagined, usually shouting I don't want to work hard, but when the opportunity is really in front of him, he doesn't want it at all.

"Vina, is that what you want to live now?"

Zhou Jinru looked around, the palatial palace was full of female officials who were loyal to the queen's guards and took care of everything in life, but other than that, there were no living people, and there was no life.

This royal palace is a tomb where a little girl is buried.

"What are you talking about?"

Zhou Jinru smiled bitterly: "Can you remember who I am?" ”

"Who are you? I never seem to have asked you what your name was. ”

"Vena, I'm Zhou Jinru, I'm Ah Guang."

As he uttered his name, the queen was in a daze, took two steps back in a daze, and covered her forehead with her left hand.
