After Fernando left, Yu Yuan immediately began to check the mission information. The quest interface in this role-playing copy is the same as in the normal game, just more minimalistic.

[Identity: Edith Matilda (Queen)]

[Final clearance mission: Overthrow the rule of the "violent monarch" pseudo-king and assist the real crown prince to take the position of king. ]

Different roles correspond to different tasks. The identity of the queen is not as expected, and the target to help is the crown prince.

"Is there no phased mission?" Yu Yuan asked.

"Yes, but it will not be refreshed directly. It will only be displayed if you trigger it at a specific plot point." Lin Ling explained to him, "The task that is automatically triggered is equivalent to a prompt. It may trigger tasks related to him, help him step by step next, or it may trigger the task by saying something. In short, the degree of freedom is indeed very high, and no two players will play exactly the same plot line."

A high degree of randomness can not only give people a more authentic sense of participation, but also better maintain a sense of novelty.

"We will do a novice guide in the future, but it's an internal beta version now, so I'll be your novice guide. As long as it's not a spoiler-related question, I can answer it if you ask me." Lin Ling remembered something, "Yes. Oh, I forgot to tell you that your first step is to open your own interface, you can get familiar with the background story and the identities of the characters, but more information still needs to be unlocked."

Yu Yuan clicked on the interface according to his words.

[Edith Matilda]

[Identity: Queen of the late King Wells Durrell]

[Hidden identity: ? ? ? ]

[Skill:? ? ? ]

[Talent: God-given appearance, distinguished status, proficient in pharmacology]

Hiding his identity is naturally the witch Lin Ling said when he tricked him into the game, and his skills must also be linked to witches. The talents that come with the three openings correspond to "you can use your appearance to charm others", "unconditionally order people whose status is lower than yourself", and literally mastering the knowledge of pharmacology.

"Look, I didn't lie to you, the queen's identity is indeed very strong, just a 'respectful status' is enough to make many NPCs listen to your orders." Lin Ling said: "Except for the queen, now the only one who comes with this buff at the start is the only one. bishop."

Yu Yuan really couldn't evaluate the talent of "God-sent Beauty", but being able to order NPCs is a great convenience, so he asked, "How can you be considered inferior to me? I can order everything except Fernando?"

If "one person is under ten thousand people" can really be achieved, then the clearance of the queen's role is too simple.

"No, there is a certain rationale for this judgment. The queen's background is not high, so you can't control NPCs who have the status of marquis and above, such as princes or finance ministers, except for kings, but you can definitely bring in any bodyguard. ." Lin Ling explained patiently, "And the order must be reasonable and not too outrageous."

Lin Ling explained it to him for a while, and Yu Yuan probably understood. "God-sent face" is a probabilistic charm, no matter how outrageous things are, as long as they are charmed, they have to do it obediently, even the king can be under his control. And the buff of "honorable status" is aimed at NPCs with low status, and they can be manipulated to run errands and do things for themselves.

Yu Yuan suddenly had an idea of ​​​​playing, "Can I go to charm the king to kill him now, and the crown prince will come back tomorrow and directly ascend the throne."

"..."

Lin Ling was silenced by his bizarre idea, and then said: "Absolutely not, the game has a mechanism to keep it running, and the more advanced the NPC is, the lower the chance of being charmed, the probability of you successfully charming the king is even 100%. None."

He cleared his throat and solemnly emphasized again: "And once you fail, you will become a sister-in-law to seduce your little uncle, and you will not be sent to the underground prison and be directly burned at the stake."

"...Damn, don't mention this word." Yu Yuan felt that he was about to have PTSD.

He had to give up this idea and continue to read other articles, looking for useful information.

[Character relationship]

[Wales Durrell]: The former king, your deceased husband, he has a deep affection for you. As for you on the surface, although you are in love with him, in fact...

Yu Yuan felt that this unfinished subtext might be that this stepmother and queen was a black-hearted lotus, and her relationship with someone was probably very false, and she could be regarded as living up to the hidden witch setting.

[Fernando Durrell]: The current king, the younger brother of the former King Wells. ? ? ?

The place left behind is full of question marks, but this project should be about the relationship between two people. In other words, there should be some relationship between Fernando and the queen, and it is related to the important plot.

Recalling that when Fernando appeared before, he mentioned that he had met privately before, and the queen herself would call him a usurper because he was in a bad mood. Fernando didn't seem to be particularly angry...

Yu Yuan felt that this relationship was very thoughtful and fearful, but if he asked Lin Ling, he would definitely not say it.

Hope it's not what you think it is.

Thinking of this, Yu Yuan still asked sideways, "Lin Ling, since the king is now Fernando, why am I still the queen? Shouldn't he be the queen by marrying the new queen?"

"Ah, I just didn't tell you the time line. Now the old King of Wales has just died more than 20 days ago, and the funeral has just passed. Little Durand will be usurped because he has been in the fief and has not come back. The old king suddenly fell ill. And to die, Fernando made a time difference and moved faster. As for why you are still the queen..."

"On the one hand, the dispute has not yet passed, and no one is entangled with your identity for the time being. On the other hand, Fernando doesn't have any princesses, and naturally there is no new queen."

"Why not?" Yu Yuan was very curious. He saw that Fernando's character introduction was already a certain age, and it was a bit strange that he had not married.

"There are many reasons, some involving spoilers can't be said, but I can share with you a little gossip..." Lin Lingshen said mysteriously: "It is rumored among the ministers and some nobles that he actually does not have this 'ability'. There are also rumors that he was injured in battles in his early years."

"...So it's true?" Yu Yuan really didn't expect such a setting.

"You can't say it."

The most important character relationship unlocked so far should be Crown Prince Durand.

[Durand Durrell]: Crown Prince, eldest son of the previous king. He witnessed his mother's death and his father's marriage to you as the new queen, but he still has a certain dependence on you. ? ? ?

There is also a relationship between unlocking in the back, but a lot of information has been revealed in the front. Crown Prince Durand "depends" on his queen, and perhaps because of this, although the queen does not seem to be a completely positive character, the ultimate task is to help him become king.

There are several other characters' names in the back, but it's not important to browse through it, and there are quite a few to be unlocked. Now it seems that the most clear is the relationship between the "queen" and the two main characters.

There is no need to say more about the crown prince, now in Yu Yuan's heart, this Durand has almost become a pitiful little man, and he needs the help of others to take the position of king. As for Fernando, the relationship is unknown, and they have private contacts. Although Fernando does not respect the queen, he has a certain tolerance for the queen...

After sorting it out again, this relationship gave Yu Yuan another idea.

He tentatively asked Lin Ling again, "Did the king really die of a sudden illness himself?"

"I can't say it." Lin Ling seemed a little helpless, "If you ask me anything related to the plot, I will close the microphone."

Yu Yuan replied, changed his clothes and wanted to go out first to see if he could collect any information.

However, the biggest difficulty now is that he will not wear this kind of clothes at all.

Yu Yuan scribbled and changed the inner base, the outer one couldn't be attached at all, not to mention that there seemed to be something like a skirt support to be stuffed in, so he could only ask Lin Ling for help, "Can I change into men's clothes and go out? ? Is it OOC?"

Lin Ling helped her forehead, "No, you have to ask the maid to come in to help."

The brown-haired maid named Nancy was called in again, two figures were found in the tall full-length mirror, and the maid helped tighten her waist and tied the complicated belt behind her.

Yu Yuan stared intently at the gender-converted self in the mirror. No matter how long he looked at it, he felt very strange. The attributes of a dead house were such that he never thought that he would have such a quiet and gentle day in appearance. Especially this long black curly hair, it was as smooth as silk when it was loose.

After looking at it for a long time, I feel that I am about to be charmed. This may be the effect of the [Godsend Appearance] BUFF.

Nancy adjusted his clothes for him and motioned for Her Royal Highness to sit on a chair and let her tie his hair. Yu Yuan thought that this was a good time to inquire about the news, so he asked, "When did I faint, and how long did I sleep during the day? I feel groggy."

"You fainted at noon, and Lord Howard sent you back to the carriage at that time." Nancy's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and the movements of her men were gentle, "Lord Howard sent you back after one o'clock, you are still the king. What about the person whom Your Majesty came out to pick up in person?"

Hearing this name, Yu Yuan corresponded to one of the unlocked character relationships.

[Wheeler Howard] The current leader of the Knights, I have known you for a long time. ? ? ?

There are also missing parts.

"Howard happened to be nearby?" Yu Yuan asked as naturally as possible.

"Your Highness the Queen, have you forgotten that the place you went to at noon is not very close to the territory of the Knights? Lord Howard came over as soon as he heard of your accident."

It sounds normal, but Yu Yuan still silently made a note of this Howard in his heart.

From the intuition of an experienced player, there is always something unusual happening at the beginning of the general plot.

After combing his hair, Yu Yuan rejected the maid's attempt to put necklaces and earrings on him, and roamed the palace alone on the grounds that he wanted to go out to relax.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and the long corridors were filled with bright lights. The soldiers guarding and the servants passing by saluted him when they saw him.

"Good night, Her Royal Highness."

Yu Yuan was still a little curious at first, but later, he was afraid of the bunch of salute machines and went to places where there were no people.

He spun around like a headless fly. He didn't think of any specific goals for a while, and he didn't encounter any useful characters to trigger the plot points.

"Lin Ling, I'm not saying, you really don't think about giving more hints for the opening?" As a tester, Yu Yuan gave his own advice.

"It will be done, the queen line is indeed not particularly perfect now."

Yu Yuan tugged at the corner of his skirt, "I'm wearing this skirt and stepping on shoes with heels, and I'm going to walk out of the inner eight. Is this a work-related injury?"

"Wake up, stop dreaming." Lin Ling finished the blow ruthlessly, as if inspired by something, "But what you said does make sense. In the future, players of different genders will choose another gender to play the game."

Yu Yuan understood that the role he had chosen, he had to play on his knees.

"Forget it, let me give you a little hint. At this stage, you have three optimal plot points that can be triggered. As a result, I didn't give any hints, only the approximate location, which one you want to choose."

"One, go to the door of Fernando's study and squat, there will be a relatively important male character, but if you are discovered by Fernando, it will have a negative impact."

"Second, if you go to the largest church in the church, you may encounter a bishop or another important NPC."

"Third, go to the cemetery of the old King Wells." Having said this, Lin Ling paused for a while, "If you want to go to the third one, you have to hurry up, the important characters are leaving soon."

——

The cemetery is very quiet.

Yu Yuan, out of some subconscious idea, didn't want to run into Fernando again in a short time, and he was indeed very curious about the king's death.

In his general experience, when a character claims to have died suddenly and unexpectedly, there is usually a problem.

The cemetery was located in a place outside the church. Yu Yuan got a lantern from a guard and walked inside slowly. The place where the king is buried is in the deepest part of the cemetery, and every king seems to be buried here in turn.

Before I got to the innermost part, as expected, there really was an NPC there. It was a blond girl who was kneeling in front of a tombstone with a handful of fresh white flowers in front of her.

The young face is as tender and beautiful as a flower bud, especially this girl seems to have a faint moonlight around her body, almost like some kind of miracle, showing even more fragile beauty.

Yu Yuan stepped forward slowly, seeing this girl with a very sad expression. The other party tilted his head to see him coming, subconsciously wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, and whispered, "Edith, why are you here?"

An interaction occurs, the relationship is unlocked, and the name above the girl's head is [Daisy Durrell].

[Daisy Durrell]: Princess, the second daughter of the previous king. She trusts you and is very close to you.

There was no question mark to hide, the relationship between the two was clear at a glance, and it was no wonder that the other party would call him by his name, which made Yu Yuan a lot more relaxed. Fortunately, although the original queen did not seem to be a completely good person, she seemed to have a good relationship with the prince and princess.

Of course, it is not ruled out that it is the queen's dress, just to brush the royal family's favor.

Yu Yuan tried his best to put on a sad expression and sat down beside the girl, the corners of his eyes also flushed red in the blink of an eye, "I came to see Wells, I didn't expect you to be here too."

Daisy is a girl whose appearance is so weak that she looks like a rabbit. She is even more pitiful when she wears a white dress in the middle of the night. When she encounters someone else, her emotions collapse instantly, and she pours out her sadness to the queen like a flood of dykes.

"I dreamed of my father, he was still laughing at me, I miss him so much..." Daisy cried very pitifully, buried in the queen's shoulders and neck, whimpered and told why she came here tonight, Crying and shedding tears, she kept pumping.

Yu Yuan comforted her softly, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and became a qualified listener.

The cemetery, late at night, the girl in white, the sorrowful cry, is simply the perfect horror film theme.

The crow on the branch cried twice, and the moonlight was gradually obscured by the clouds. When Yu Yuan was comforting people, he glanced at the tombstone inadvertently, thinking that there were corpses buried under his feet, and he felt a little nervous.

The lights seemed to dim a little, and he had no choice but to turn his head and continue to console Daisy. I don't know what the girl was thinking, she came to the cemetery at night.

He sighed silently. Daisy probably really missed her father.

Crying to the end, just when Yu Yuan was starting to worry that the girl should not cry out of her breath, Daisy finally stopped crying and cried until she looked at Yu Yuan with eyes as red as a rabbit, and finally said Yu Yuan. The plot information that the source has been waiting for.

"Edith, can I trust you?" Daisy grabbed his hand. "Will you keep a secret for me, as in those days? I don't want to take on too much by myself."

Feeling that the girl's hands are very cold, it should be because the clothes are too thin. Yu Yuan untied the cloak on his body and put it on her, "You must say it here? Why don't you go back to the palace with me first, it's too cold on your body, and I'm afraid you'll get sick."

As soon as Daisy saw it, she was in a hurry to go out, and she wore casual clothes. It was already late autumn, and she was still wearing summer clothes, even the sleeves were shortened.

"No, I have to make it clear here, I can't wait for a second." Daisy was a little excited, and tears came out of the corners of her eyes. She held Yu Yuan's hand tightly, as if she was holding the last one. Straw, "Edith, listen to me, you also know the rumors circulating among nobles and ministers-Fernando has a problem with his bloodline!"

Speaking of the last sentence, Daisy's eyes widened suddenly, almost terrifying, and her voice suddenly rose.

Yu Yuan was suddenly startled by him, but he said calmly, "Daisy, why are you saying this?"

"Lisa, Earl Sam's sister, his brother came up from the Legion, and she told me something. Edith, you know, Fernando, the half-blood, he used to have his eyes intact before joining the expedition. Yes, but after a certain battle he put on that blindfold and never took it off in front of anyone from then on."

"What's weird about this, it's not an eye injury..."

"No!" Daisy suddenly screamed again, "Not at all, Lisa told me, she heard his brother drinking too much wine with his old comrades again, talking about the old things in the Legion, the teammates around Fernando said He became like that after he came back from the monster's lair... and some people say he died in the monster's lair."

But now Fernando is alive and well in the palace.

"No one has evidence, so it can only be a rumor. Fernando's status is getting higher and higher now, and no one can touch him anymore, but Edith, you know, some people say that Fernando's mother is..."

The last sentence stopped here, Daisy held Yu Yuan's hand tightly, as if afraid that he would not help her, "Edith, you have to help me, there must be something wrong with Fernando, I feel that his secret lies in Under that blindfold - the eyes are the answer! Look for it, the answer is there!"

Yu Yuan was about to be fooled by Daisy's remarks. The most important thing was that there seemed to be something wrong with his intuition, but Daisy was always emotional and didn't give him a chance to interject. He finally stopped, but before he could say anything, there was a sudden commotion outside the cemetery.

The light of torches lit up the cemetery one after another, and they all stopped not far away. Yu Yuan vaguely saw that a group of people was coming, and the leader at the front was vaguely familiar.

When it was close, he could see clearly.

—Unfortunately, it was Fernando.

It had been less than an hour since the last time the two met, and Fernando was still in the same clothes, half of his blond hair was loose. He walked slowly under the night, with a little majesty, but he had an inexplicable smile on his face.

The soldiers who followed were stopped by him, and he was the only one who stepped forward.

"His Royal Highness is really interested, come to the cemetery at this time?" He glanced at the tombstone beside Yu Yuan, "The relationship with my brother is deep enough, isn't it?"

Yu Yuan was about to help Daisy stand up immediately, but at this moment, he suddenly discovered something more unbelievable than Fernando's presence here.

I saw that Daisy, who was holding his hand just now, was gone.

Completely gone, only a bunch of small white flowers remained in front of the tombstone.

He didn't put it up.

Yu Yuan immediately felt a cold sweat on his back.

Seeing that he was sluggish and didn't say a word, Fernando didn't make a sound, just watched quietly.

Yu Yuan stiffly picked up the cloak that had fallen on the ground at some point, turned his head to look at Fernando, "When you just came over, you only saw me?"

Fernando seemed to hear some stupid question and sneered: "Why, are you afraid to find someone to accompany you here in the middle of the night?"

He stepped forward, walked to Yu Yuan's side, leaned forward slightly, exhaled in his ear and said, "Who brought you here? Well, if it's a man, aren't you afraid of making my brother mad again?"

Knowing the hint in the words, Yu Yuan, who was carrying the status of a queen, wanted to slap this person with a backhand, but firstly, the other party was the king, and secondly, the matter of Daisy did seem a little weird, this girl would never take advantage of the just now. The timing ran away, but he couldn't tell what happened to Daisy just now, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "I came by myself."

Fernando also saw this bouquet of white flowers lying on the ground, which was still soaked with water, and tied a bow with a white ribbon.

Yu Yuan: "Go back, I'm tired too."

But no one could figure out what Fernando was thinking. Just when Yu Yuan was about to turn his head to leave, he was caught off guard by the wrist, and his hand was so strong that he almost scratched a layer of red marks on the spot.

"What are you doing..." Before Yu Yuan's words were finished, he swallowed the rest.

Fernando grabbed the collar of his skirt with one hand and pulled it up, covering the exposed position under the collarbone. With a playful smile on his face, he said, "Edith, should you be a little more careful - at least not in front of my brother's grave."

"..." Yu Yuan scolded it in his heart at the time, it was Daisy who had just ripped off her clothes when she was crying against his shoulder.

Thinking of Daisy and her horrified expression just now, the phrase "eyes are the answer" echoed in Yu Yuan's ears.

He looked at Fernando, the fine blond hair covered half of the blindfold of his left eye, which might be a flaw on others, but it seemed to him as a whole, as if he had always been like this, but the blindfold was very suitable for him.

At the same time, Yu Yuan saw that a new task appeared in his task list.

[Fernando's Secret]
