The two hundred and tenth night guest

Now she was the only one left in the room. Although the little girl is full of irritability, she has no outlet for venting. She wanted to smash things, but she used her reason to control the desire. So the last thing she could do was walk around the middle of the room.

It was late at night, but she didn't feel sleepy. At the end, like all girls of her age would do, she sat at the window and looked at the stars in the sky.

She no longer remembered her accession to the throne. At that time, she was too young to remember things. All the country needs is a political flag, and no one really cares what a five or six-year-old girl thinks. She was completely in a cloud of mist, and was inexplicably taken into a large hall and held a simple ceremony surrounded by many people. There are not many such things in the records of human history, but there are many of them. If there is any difference between her and the same type of king, it is probably that she is more courageous and can speak calmly according to the instructions of the adults in advance.

Of course, these were not things she remembered deeply, but others told her later. She only had a very confused impression, because she was vague and hazy at that time, and she couldn't even really understand the news of her father's and brother's death.

The little girl sighed and pulled her thoughts back from those vague memories. A girl of her age is not good at recalling the past.

Go for a walk. The thought popped into her mind, and she did. What is she worried about now? She's the queen, the one who really has the power. And this is her royal palace, even if it is temporary, it is under her complete control.

As mentioned earlier, the mansion, which served as a temporary royal palace, has not undergone much change, at least in terms of overall layout. Not far from the little girl's house, there is a garden where the finest flowers and shrubs once flourished. However, Ashrufat was not a gardening man, so his approach to the garden was to ignore it. After such a long time, there are not many artificial cultivations left that are not strong enough. Now, weeds in the garden are growing a head taller than a little girl.

There is a strange silence in the garden at night. When the little girl walked to the edge of the garden, she suddenly felt a strange noise. In normal times, she would have ignored the past, but at the moment it was too quiet.

"Laria...... Is that you?"

"Yes," the voice came from nowhere, and the little girl could only look in the general direction—it was the shadow of a wall in the moonlight, but she couldn't make out Laria. This is not surprising to her, as Laria, also known as the Scarlet Rose, has a piece of armor that changes color. It was a vampire gift, a strange thing made in a way that humans didn't understand. The little girl had taken a closer look at the armor at close range.

"Is there anything wrong?" asked the little girl. Suddenly, she found herself a little scared. Perhaps it is because the real power has not been in power for too long, and the feeling of being in power and bowing down to all beings is now gone. She found herself still just a thirteen-year-old girl, standing alone in the dark in an overgrown place.

"Over there, someone came in over the wall. Laria reminded softly.

"Over the wall?"

The temporary royal palace was not well fortified, and it was far from the real palace. However, if you want to quietly climb over the wall from the outside without alarming the patrol outside, this matter is not ordinary. First of all, you must be familiar with the various secret posts, the flow changes between patrols, and then you must have an understanding of the layout and roads in the mansion. Finally, you must have very good skills.

In the long time that the little girl has lived here, this kind of "thief", "assassin" and the like have never happened.

"Yes...... Is it an assassin?" the little girl tried to keep herself calm. It doesn't matter, Laria is by her side. She'd seen Laria take out dozens of enemies on her own, and she'd learned that Laria possessed speed, strength, and combat skills far beyond her appearance.

"Probably not. Laria replied. "Do you need me to arrest him? or just kill him?"

This was the first time in such a long time, or since the night of the coup d'état, that little girl had encountered such a thing, so she didn't know what to do for a while.

"Can you catch it alive?" but after a few seconds, the little girl calmed down. She is now the queen and the one who made the decision.

"Not guaranteed. I'm not good at that, and it's harder to catch alive than to kill. Laria replied very directly.

"Anyway, do what you can. The little girl replied.

"I went. "Something seemed to be moving in the darkness, and it seemed like it was just a breeze blowing. The little girl stood there and thought about it seriously. This one sneaked in, it should be a cultist. However, the little girl herself only exists on paper about the concept of evil god believers, and lacks intuitive understanding, only knowing that the Daoist Church has put a lot of hats on the heads of evil god believers, such as evil, despicable, cruel, vicious, and so on.

There was no sound in the distance. Although the little girl tried her best to hear something, all she heard was the sound of the wind. Everything seemed to be calm, not even the slightest noise occurred.

"Your Majesty. When this voice sounded, the little girl was really startled. Although she immediately tried to pretend to be calm, she was not sure if her momentary panic had been seen by Laria.

"What's wrong...... The intruder ......"

"Well, I'm afraid that one isn't an intruder. Ah, I mean...... The man who came was Count Ashrufat. ”

"Is it him?!" The surprise faded instantly, replaced by ecstasy. But the ecstasy was soon replaced by another kind of trepidation.

"Well, I brought him here. "Well, then, I'll quit." ”

After a few seconds, the little girl finally came to her senses. She wasn't really ready for it, but Laria didn't react to her cries anymore.

A figure appeared from the other side of the garden, parting the weeds one man high, and walked all the way to the little girl.

The figure was not moving fast, but before the little girl came back to her senses, the other party was already standing opposite her. The distance between the two sides was about five paces before the figure stopped.

In the moonlight, the little girl clearly saw the scar on the bridge of the other party's nose. This scar is the most striking feature of Ashrufat's face. In the moonlight, the scar became even more conspicuous.

"You ......" the little girl wanted to speak, but after the first syllable was spoken, she suddenly found that all the words she had wanted to say were gone. Her mind wasn't blank, but it was filled with weird data like "we've been thirty days plus we haven't seen each other in a day."

......

"Auntie. Xingke walked into his aunt's room. As she had expected, it was late, but Aunt Mary didn't seem to be sleepy at all. She was dressed drowsy and lay on the bed in a reclining position, her eyes looking at the ceiling. After the star carved through the door, the posture did not change at all.

"What's wrong?" asked Aunt Mary.

"That's right...... You...... What do you don't mention about what we care about the most?"

Her words were a bit of a clue, but Aunt Mary understood her niece's meaning very well.

"Do you mean the little queen?" replied the old woman with a smile. "Of course, I'm old, but I'm not old enough to be that old. ”

"So...... Why don't you take this opportunity to verify it?" Xingke said. "Is that really going on...... Did the little queen hold him ......?"

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not. Aunt Mary interrupted. "The key to this matter is not the little queen, but Ashrufat. You should know that the important thing is not the relationship, but the marriage. ”

"Ah......h

"There's no way to control feelings. Not only is it uncontrollable, it's not even verifiable. Sometimes, you don't know what the feelings in your heart are. So, the right thing to do is to leave the things you can't control and do the things you can't control. Let's say this thing...... The key to your marriage is not the little queen, but Ashrufat. It is whether he will refuse to honor the marriage contract. It doesn't matter at all whether he is in love with the little queen or whether the little queen is in love with him. These two things are superficially related, but in fact they are completely separate. Focus on the real marriage, not on the ethereal feelings. Ah," the old woman sighed. "You two have turned yourself into stupid otaku girls who study magic, and these women don't understand anything that they are born with. ”

"But ......"

"For example, if you had asked this question just now, what would have you gained? If Ashrufat's heart was attracted to the little queen, or if he was tempted by the throne, and to question him so bluntly would have made him the most remarkable. At that time, there will be no room for redemption. On the contrary, if you don't tear your face for the time being, there may be a little possibility...... I know that your heart is confused, shaken, and desperate for this answer. But what about getting the answer? It's not a scientific study, getting the answer is the ultimate goal. What we have to do is a more complex and more skillful contest. ”

Xingqi sensed a subtle change in his aunt's tone.

"So, Ashrufatta......"

"The chances are great. Aunt Mary said. "I reckon there will be a result today. ”

"What is today?"

"Today...... There are several possibilities. But," Aunt Mary asked curiously. "Think about it, come and see you at this sensitive time...... Do you think it's normal? You heard what he just said...... General Beller's visit to Eagle Falcon City should have been a matter of the last few days...... In other words, in a few days he will be able to return to the city in a generous manner, and then come back to see you in the name of the time when he has accepted the appointment and left. Unless he's caught up in that kind of frenzied romance...... Do you think he's that type? So, I'm here to see you in a hurry...... There must be a problem. ”

The answer seems to be on the horizon. No matter how stupid Xingke is, he realizes what his aunt really means.

"So......," said Aunt Mary softly. "It's very simple, I'm afraid he's going to see not just a few of you this time, but also our little queen, or someone else we don't know. And it's not going to be a simple meeting. ”
