Sitting in the empty hall, Mary frowned and looked out the door. The explosions and noises coming from her ears made her fidget and move her body.

Todd sat on the uppermost throne and said nothing.

Mary couldn't help but said to Todd, "Where's the guard? Where's the servant? Why is there no one here except us?"

Todd lowered his head and said calmly: "Soon, some guests will come to visit me, I don't want to be disturbed."

"guest?"

Todd said to Mary in the side seat: "Although you have told me the answer again and again, I still want to confirm to you again, do you really want to stay? Even if there is danger here?"

Mary looked at Todd with a looming resentment in her eyes. She suddenly said, "Your Majesty, even at this time, do you still want to send me away?"

Todd said helplessly: "I am thinking about your safety..."

Mary asked in a deep voice toward Todd, "Your Majesty, I have a question. In your eyes, what kind of existence am I?"

Todd was a little surprised by Mary's question and didn't know how to answer it for a while.

"Stay in the deserted palace every day, dealing with the boring affairs of the kingdom, for the future of the people, and for the expectations of the subordinates, running the Holy Acropolis conscientiously and walking on thin ice. Do you think this is all I want? "

There are grievances, sorrow, anger and tiredness in Mary's words. She shook her head vigorously and said: "This is not the life I want at all!"

"When I was in Twilight City, although I no longer have the power to be supreme, and I don’t have a crown that is highly anticipated, I can be with everything I love the most...Costume design, shop management, art appreciation, without burden. No need to be cautious in words and deeds, let alone living in fear and fear every day!"

Mary stood up from her seat, took off the crown representing the Queen of the Holy Acropolis, and whispered to Todd: "You know, I gave up the easy life in West Side, and gave up my beloved career. What is the reason for going to that hypocritical and repressive ghost place in Holy Acropolis? For whom?!"

"Because of you!"

Mary slammed the crown on top of her head against the ground, her teeth biting her lower lip, tears rolling in her eyes: "It is because you said that I need to go to the Holy Acropolis, so I went there! It is because of you. You said that I need a stable front line, so I stay in that **** and face death and despair every day!"

"I'm waiting every day, waiting for you to appear in front of me and take me back!" Mary said in a choked voice: "But you?! You are missing! You have been missing for a whole year!"

Todd looked at Mary with surprise and guilt on his face: "I don't know..."

"You have left Muxicheng, and those who followed you! The most important thing is that you have completely shattered my hope!"

Before Mary walked to Todd's throne, she complained word by word: "In your eyes, am I a **** to take advantage of? When it is valuable, a few promises can be used at will; when it is not valuable , Just send it to a corner at will, let it fend for itself?!"

Todd held his forehead and waved his hand vigorously: "Mary, I think you must have misunderstood me. I never thought about using you, and I never thought about hurting you."

Mary looked at Todd and asked, "So far, do you still want to comfort me with rhetoric? You always let me go away again and again, and try to reject me thousands of miles away. Isn't it the best proof?"

Todd said with a wry smile: "Mary, listen to me..."

"The Holy King of Muxi! We finally meet!"

A voice full of triumph and joy, sounded at the door of the hall, interrupting the conversation between Todd and Mary.

Todd looked at the gate of the palace hall, the group of heavily armed invaders, without any surprise on his face, as if he had seen an ordinary thing.

Mary turned her back quickly, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then turned to look at the person who came, and said in surprise: "Why are you?!"

Rutledge Dolson led nearly a hundred killers who had been carefully trained by the family for many years, through the secret tunnel under the palace, and came directly to the door of the main hall.

Behind Rutledge, the old Count Nal of the Silver Ring and his group of thugs.

Looking at Todd aloft, Rutledge looked around cautiously and said: "Your Majesty Saint King, please don't bother to call the guards. I have put down all the gates around and opened all the traps. In a short time, no one will come to disturb us."

Before Todd could speak, Count Knar pointed at Queen Mary and yelled: "You're a bitch! I've guessed that you have an ulterior affair with this guy, and the Kingdom of Silver Ring has fallen. To this day, this field is all your fault!"

Mary raised her head proudly, her body exuding a powerful aura that was inaccessible. She looked at the bald fat man who made her hate her, and shouted coldly: "A maggot is a maggot! After eating a kingdom, it is time to choose the next target. ?"

Count Knar drew out his sword and shouted with a flushing face: "What did you say?!"

"It is precisely because of you, greedy, insidious and cunning villains, that the Kingdom of the Silver Ring will finally take the step of subjugation!" Mary stared at Count Knar and shouted angrily: "After you die, your soul Will endure the eternal burning of karma!"

The furious Count Kall rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush to the throne, but Rutledge grabbed him.

"What are you stopping me for?!"

Rutledge looked at Todd and slowly said, "Holy King, have you considered letting others inherit the throne of King Musi?"

Hearing Rutledge's words, Earl Knoll stared at the front in a stunned voice and said: "Inherit the throne of King Musi? Are you crazy? We said from the beginning that we would destroy the kingdom of Musi and restore the kingdom of Silver Ring!"

Sitting on the throne, Todd said to Rutledge with great interest: "Inherit my throne?"

Rutledge said with a smile: "You have no heirs so far, and the heirs of the kingdom have not been settled. If you can get the throne of the king, the Dolson family can sign an agreement with you to support and join the clan. This way This country can complete the transfer of power peacefully without bloodshed or war. Isn't this what you most want to see?"

Hearing this, Earl Knoll’s madness gave rise to smoke: "Rutledge, you traitor! You bastard! You have betrayed the Kingdom of the Silver Ring~lightnovelpub.net~ and betrayed our trust! You will go to hell... "

Rutledge looked at the silent Todd with a cruel smile: "Holy King, if you are doubting my sincerity, I can pay you a small deposit first..."

Before he finished his words, a sharp dagger slipped out of Rutledge's cuff, and his wrist flicked, and the blade of the dagger directly pierced into the back of Count Knar.

Accompanied by the screams from his men, Count Knar looked back at Rutledge in disbelief. The blood slowly overflowed from the corner of his mouth. He didn't even have time to say a complete sentence. Has slowly fallen to the ground.

On Count Knar’s clothes, wipe clean the blood stains on the dagger, Rutledge gave the killers a wink, and then continued to Todd: "Your Majesty, as long as you agree to abdicate, the Dolson family will help You solve the chaos in the city, all the remnants of the Silver Ring Kingdom will be sent to **** one by one. How, this is definitely a good deal, don't you think about it?"

Todd watched the killers begin to process the corpses and set up the scene, and said with a smile, "Rutledge, let's talk?"
