Todd poured a cup of coffee for himself and Mary, and then he sat on the chair and quietly treated each other's words.

　　Mary sipped a bitter drink, let out a sigh, and whispered: "I always feel that it has been a long time since I tasted coffee last time."

"If you want, I can send a troop now to send you back to Twilight City." Todd held the mug and felt the temperature on the wall: "You should know that my intention was not to let you You participate in this war."

Mary focused her gaze on the spinning water in the cup and shook her head and said, "I know what you want to say, but I can't leave there now. Those soldiers and people looked into my eyes, revealing hope and begging. , Like unbreakable silk threads, tightly binding me to the throne of Holy Acropolis, I can't go anywhere..."

　　 Todd's eyes were a little dim: "Mary, I'm sorry."

"If you are sorry because I have to bear the responsibilities of the queen, then I can tell you now, no need." Mary sipped coffee in small sips and looked at the man on the opposite side: "If you were Because another thing is expressing my apologies to me, I will gladly accept it."

　　 Todd has gotten his head up: "Another thing?"

　　Mary put down the cup, fixed her eyes on Todd, and asked in a deep voice: "I heard that you refused to accept me as Queen of West Side."

　　 Todd smiled bitterly. It has been almost four years since he came to another world. He still can't accept the straight-forward way of speaking from Westerners.

　　 "I did say that, but it was for some reason..."

　　Mary leaned forward and asked, "Is it because I was married as a woman?"

　　 Todd replied with a headache: "No, it's not, you listen to me explain..."

　　Mary continued to ask: "Is it because of my appearance that makes you dissatisfied?"

　　 "No, you look outstanding, but..."

　　 "Is it because of Rachel?"

　　 Hearing the name that suddenly appeared in Mary's mouth, Todd was taken aback for a moment, his body froze there, and all his movements stopped.

　　Looking at the look on Todd's face, Mary closed her eyes lightly and whispered, "I understand."

Mary, who was in great frustration and sadness, made Todd feel a pain for no reason. He moved his chair towards the woman and whispered: "You may not understand that in the future, Twilight City may never appear. The queen is now."

　　Mary opened her eyes in surprise: "What do you mean by this?"

　　 Todd thought for a moment, organized the words, and slowly said: "After the Battle of the Holy Guard, if we win, then Twilight City must carry out religious reform. I believe you know this."

　　Mary nodded.

"The so-called Reformation is to create a third denomination on the basis of the original Heavenly Father Church and the Orthodox Church. I call this new denomination "Music Protestantism". After the denomination is established, I will fight for the many kingdoms in the diocese to separate them from other sects and join the Protestant religion."

　　 When Mary heard this, she was still a little confused: "Then the establishment of Protestantism and the Queen will not appear in Twilight City. What is the relationship between the two?"

　　 Todd glanced at her, and only said one sentence: "Who do you think the first pope of Protestantism will be?"

　　 Mary's eyes widened and she understood everything at once.

　　 Indeed, as Todd said, if Protestantism is established, looking at the entire Twilight City, no one has the same influence as the king, and the throne of the Protestant Pope can only be seated by Todd.

　　 Then, Todd, as the Pope, naturally cannot marry a woman like a secular king.

　　 Seeing Mary's stunned expression, Todd sighed in his heart. He only told her half of some things, and the facts of the other half were so cruel that he couldn't speak to her at all.

　　 "Your Majesty, if this is the case, then I understand your good intentions." Mary looked a little distressed: "But don't you think about the offspring? Is it possible that you plan to be alone forever?"

　　Mary's words made Todd fall into thought.

　　 Todd thought to himself that he had only had a relationship with two women. One of them was Rachel, and the other had made it clear that they could not have children; the other was Deirdre. I don’t know what her condition was like?

　　 "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Mary's call awakened the contemplative Todd. She asked, "If you have no children, who will inherit the future of Twilight?"

　　 Todd scratched his head: "The question of inheriting the throne of Muxicheng may be more complicated. Now I can't tell you clearly, you will know later."

Mary looked at Todd for a long time, and finally nodded: "Since you have said so, then I will not ask any more. What I want to tell you is that if you really become the Pope, then I promise you, The Holy Acropolis will be the first to convert to Protestantism. And I, as the queen of the Holy Acropolis, will choose to serve the Holy Spirit and God for life and no longer marry."

　　 "Wait a minute! What do you mean by no longer marrying?"

　　 Todd just wanted to ask Mary about the details, the other party drank the coffee in the cup, turned and left the soul space.

　　 Looking at the empty seat, Todd rubbed his hair with his hand, sighed, and said helplessly: "In the end, it became my fault..."

　　———————————————

　　 Battle of the Holy Acropolis, the first day.

　　 Cumberland stood at the head of the city, using the latest high-powered telescope invented by Twilight West, looked at the enemy line and frowned.

"Today, if I guessed correctly, it should be a tentative attack." Cumberland put down his binoculars and ordered to the adjutant next to him: "Notify the army that when the enemy approaches, put them in the middle defensive circle and launch an attack. ."

Watching the adjutant lead away, Cumberland moved his arm, feeling the dull pain caused by the keel parasite's bone hook, and said unhappily: "This ragged beetle is good for everything, but this hook makes people uncomfortable! "

　　 "Master Cumberland, today is the day of war?" Queen Mary, in a uniform, walked up to the city head, came to Cumberland's side, and said to the enemy.

　　 Cumberland turned to his side, and whispered to Mary, "When the battle begins, Ryushi and sling are both unknown threats. You'd better go back to the city fort and wait for the result."

Mary drew her long hair blown by the wind with her hand and smiled and said: "If I appear, it can boost the morale of the army. Even if this kind of encouragement can give us a little more chance of winning, this kind of risk comes to me. It doesn't matter if you say it."

　　 Seeing that he could not persuade the other party, Cumberland simply gave up the argument, he asked: "After we left yesterday, did you and your Majesty talk about...?"

　　"I asked~lightnovelpub.net~ Cumberland raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "What did your Majesty say. "

　　 "He persuaded me, and with good reasons, I can't refute it."

　　 Cumberland widened his eyes: "How could this happen? Does your majesty insist on letting that woman?!"

　　Mary looked at Cumberland and shook her head with a smile: "Things are not the same as you thought. According to your majesty's plan, at the end of the evening, there may not be a queen."

Cumberland shook his head incomprehensibly, and whispered: "There is no queen in Twilight? Do you know what you are talking about? What does this mean?! Have you talked to your Majesty about the future of Twilight... "

　　 "My lord, the enemy has launched an attack!"

　　 Just as Cumberland was talking to Mary, the scout heir who was in charge of monitoring the battlefield issued a warning.

　　 Cumberland, who was interrupted by the battle, raised his beard angrily, and put on the helmet rudely. While purring something in his mouth, he gave Mary a step back gesture and strode to the observation deck.

Seeing the old knight leaving behind, Mary's calm face showed a confused look. She said in words that only she could hear: "But there is another possibility... In the end, the Queen of Muxicheng, will More than one."...
