Ciudad Saint-Randall.

When night falls, the buildings of the royal capital seem to be immersed in black fog, and occasionally a few slightly yellowed lamps are also mixed into a soft light, quiet and cold.

The swordsman Dai Wei did not linger at Elder Quinn's place, and after saying goodbye in a hurry, he found a random weapon shop and bought a cheap sword, and then traveled west to the outside of St. Randall.

Twenty years have passed, things are not people, only the gilding on the stone pillars of the outer city wall of the royal capital is still as clean as before.

He stared at the closed east gate.

In the past, even under the inky night, there were a few hawkers selling night lanterns, craftsmen returning home from the city after a day's work, and tourists who were in a hurry to rest here.

It seems a little too quiet today.

He was thinking about it, and a small sedan chair for only one person slowly drove out of the city from a distance, followed by a maid.

Immediately afterward, the city gate was quietly hidden.

The dark blue gilt top, the sedan chair carved with gold thread a mermaid, and the attendant swayed in the direction of the swordsman with a lantern flashing in his hand.

With every step of the horse's hooves, every sound, Dai Wei's heart would thump.

Soon, the sedan chair stopped in front of him.

After hesitating for a long time, he knelt on the ground and said in a voice that was neither high nor low: "Your Royal Highness greets the Queen." ”

Between kneeling and worshipping, the woman in the sedan chair had been supported by the maid and walked to the front.

The fragrance on the woman's body contains a fresh breath from the depths of the ocean, and such a smell is very familiar to Dai Wei.

"You're back......" The female voice sounded as she held back her crying.

Queen Ying took off her hood, tears welling up in her blue eyes.

Dai Wei instantly understood that the reason why the city of St. Randre was silent was because of the high position of Her Royal Highness.

She has been a queen for more than ten years, and now she will come out of the palace in person to see herself, the personal guard of the former king......

Dai Wei ...... I miss you. ”

Listening to the familiar voice, Dai Wei never had the courage to raise his head. He remained on his knees, but his hand on his sword kept trembling, and his joints turned white from the exertion.

As if thinking of the past many years ago, Queen Ying asked in a soft voice, frowning, "What about you?" I remember..... Seventeen years ago, you sent me back to Saint-Randre and left, and after all these years, why didn't you even send a letter......"

"How did Your Highness know that the minister was back today?"

The woman fell silent, as if annoyed by the other's avoidance of indifference.

But Dai Wei asked sincerely, he was very excited, but because of his identity, he couldn't show his excitement.

There was a long silence between the two of them before Queen Ying replied, "Elder Quinn has an apprentice by his side. ”

"Does he know?"

"What doesn't the astrologer know?" asked Queen Ying rhetorically.

This familiar tone and this arrogant posture couldn't help but make Dai Wei quickly find the feeling when he got along with Queen Ying more than ten years ago. However, recalling Quinn's attitude towards himself, perhaps the astrologer knew everything, but he just didn't say it.

The old gentleman wanted to prevent himself from meeting the queen this time......

Thinking of this, Dai Wei couldn't help but quickly stand up, then took two steps back, and said in a deep voice: "Your Royal Highness, if there is anything to do, let's make it clear quickly." Below is the former king's guard, and you are the queen of the present, the difference between cloud and mud. ”

Hearing this, Queen Ying couldn't help but laugh. For more than ten years, the old love between the two was washed away.

"Anyone asks, I will only say that you are an old friend of the queen, but that is for others to see, and there should be no such difference between you and me......

Dai Wei's face was serious, and he said solemnly: "Your Royal Highness, if you do too much play, others won't believe it." ”

King Ying's face froze, and his tone was sad and indignant:

"Twenty years...... Today I ordered someone to close the east gate, just so that no one disturbs you to see you, there is no one else here, you ...... Do you still hate me? Don't we even have the slightest affection?"

"Her Royal Highness is too good at lifting people, you used to be a mermaid spirit envoy, and you have always been an ordinary person without spiritual power. You can send as many people as you like, and what kind of relationship can you talk to the slaves?"

"Okay, I know Elder Quinn didn't give you a good look today, you're in a bad mood, I shouldn't talk about myself. Queen Ying pretended to be sad and changed the subject, "However, in the past twenty years, you have ignored our mother and daughter......"

"That's enough, you don't have to bring your daughter with you. Dai Wei's voice was more disgusted, "If you really cared so much, you wouldn't have begged the Spy Patriarch to let him take you back to St. Randall City." ”

A tear fell from the queen's blue eyes, and she asked in a soft and sad voice: "Dai Wei, I know that you are resentful in your heart, and you complain that I insist on going back to the palace. If I had gone with you, would my daughter and I still be living today?"

Dai Wei's hands clenched secretly in his sleeves. The woman's pitiful appearance made it difficult for him to refute.

Ying in front of her is still the same as when she was young, delicate and charming, even if twenty years have passed, she has not seen her face age.

The beauty of a mermaid woman always has a long shelf life. As time passed, Dai Wei would only become more and more inferior in front of this mermaid Meiji, and the distance from her would become farther and farther away.

So much so that when he saw him again after many years, the sense of alienation in his heart was far greater than his longing.

"Everything you have today has been given to you by the king, and it has nothing to do with you. Since Her Royal Highness knows it in her heart, there is no need to put our old feelings on the table. He was ruthless and continued: "I have nothing to do with the palace in Xia, and I only came back this time to catch up with a few friends, and if Her Royal Highness has nothing to do, please let me into the city." ”

"Dai Wei ......"

Before the words fell, Queen Ying threw herself into Dai Wei's arms.

For a moment, he only felt a faint fragrance wafting from the tip of his nose, the same smell as the last time they were separated.

He couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and subconsciously wrapped his arms around Queen Ying's slender waist and brought the two closer together.

But in the next second, he realized that this was the worst mistake he had ever done.

"You're still thinking about me, aren't you?"

It was so quiet outside the royal city that even the voices inside the walls were a little weaker.

After a long time, the queen's voice came from a slightly apologetic man: "This is the last time. I can't give you anything, that's ...... Twenty years of relief to you. ”

But in the next second, Dai Wei changed his tone and continued: "There are always some things in the world that cannot go as people want, and even astrologers who can predict the future are difficult to grasp the future direction...... Elder Quinn warned me not to come to St. Randall today, I thought he was guarding against you, but I didn't expect it...... He's right. ”

Queen Ying broke free from Dai Wei's arms and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Dai Wei's heart trembled, and his hand had already slipped from her waist, "Your Highness will look back for yourself." ”

Seeing that his expression was not good, Queen Ying turned around nervously. What she saw was a little boy under the age of ten, and the gorgeous clothes on his body had already proved his identity.

Patrick...... Why are you here?" said Queen Ying.

"Meet the Queen Mother. ”

The surprise on Queen Ying's face was fleeting, she glanced back at Dai Wei, bent down and said, "It's so late, why are you out of the city?"

The son came out with his mother. ”

The name Patrick, David had only heard of it. He was supposed to be the youngest son of King II, born to a concubine, but grew up beside the queen since childhood.

As soon as Dai Wei wanted to kneel and salute, he was stopped by the queen.

"Not necessarily. No one blames you for being polite. ”

She squatted down, put her hands on Patrick's shoulders, and asked with a smile, "Is there anything wrong with finding the queen mother?"

His Royal Highness the Prince did not answer, and glared at Dai Wei, his eyes like torches.

"Minister, meet His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Patrick choked on this "goodbye", looked at the ambiguous look of his mother and the other party, and pushed Queen Ying's hand away in annoyance, shouting: "Prince Ben is going to tell his father!"

Rise!

Moment.

A figure broke through the wind and stopped in front of the prince.

"Your Royal Highness, the minister is guilty. Dai Wei said in a deep voice.

Looking at the man in front of him who was as sharp as a knife, Patrick looked at Queen Ying and said, "Is the Queen Mother planning to let her lover kill Prince Ben?"

"Huh...... It's too late for the queen mother to love you, so how can she be willing to kill you. Queen Ying bowed her head slightly and said softly, "As a guard, dare to block the path of His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Dai Wei instantly understood, and said loudly: "Your Majesty's sin is to block His Highness's way." ”

"You ......"

Patrick's fingertips flashed with spiritual power, and in an instant, a skate blade appeared on his fingertips.

"Queen Mother, this prince is going to kill someone today, don't stop me!"

Queen Ying frowned slightly, and only stepped forward and gently put her arm on the prince's wrist.

"Don't stop me!"

"The queen mother is not trying to stop you, it is the mother's fault first. Queen Ying persuaded softly: "The queen mother confessed her mistakes to you, and she will also go back to confess her mistakes to the king, don't kill him, okay?"

There was an incredulous look on the boy's face.

The queen leaned down, and a gentle but dangerous smile appeared on her face: "Your Highness hasn't practiced spiritual arts well during this time......, has he?"

As she spoke, her hand touched Patrick's temple.

"Such a shameful thing, His Royal Highness the Prince should forget about it. ”

"Don't ...... The son is wrong...... Queen Mother!"

Between his eyebrows, a blue spiritual light was fleeting. The beautiful woman's eyes woke up from a chaotic storm of spiritual power and became extremely clear.

She stared at Dai Wei, her smile mellow and charming.

"You ......"

The swordsman was a little speechless, but he knew very well what she had just done.

Queen Ying smiled, turned her face to look at Patrick, who was already blank, and asked, "Child, what are you looking for the queen mother?"

"Well...... Patrick rubbed his eyes, pointed at David and asked, "Queen Mother, who is this?"

"This is the queen mother's guard, doesn't Your Highness remember?"

Patrick shook his head and smiled shyly, "My son doesn't usually pay much attention to this. ”

The queen raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's not too early, the queen mother will take you back, okay?"

"Hmm!"
