Path of The Dragonborn

Chapter 158: Queen's worries

"As expected of Richard... The plan that attracted the attention of the people of the royal capital, can be said to have won a big victory..." Queen Cecilia issued this alone on the viewing platform of the Queen's Palace in Gransell. Sigh.

To celebrate the 60th birthday of Her Majesty the Queen-at least on the surface, this martial arts convention has come to an end, but from the towering Wangcheng, it is still brightly lit. A large number of fireworks prepared for the conference were released to the sky on this night, and the city, which was usually in peace, was also integrated into the noisy taste.

What's more, it will be the official Queen’s birthday soon. Many foreign tourists who come here are willing to leave. They sing and dance, waiting for the next carnival. Not surprisingly, the enthusiasm driven by the martial arts conference should allow the night in the capital to continue such a hustle and bustle until that day.

Although it is summer, the cool breeze blowing on the high platform under the night sky is also a bit dangerous for an old man who is almost 60 years old. Therefore, when the voice of the familiar magistrate sounded behind her, the queen was not surprised: "Is your majesty here again? Put on a piece of clothing, the wind is still very strong here."

"Haha...Thank you, Sildan." With a warm smile, the queen slowly turned around, "You are probably the only one who is really worried about me in such a big city right now..."

"Don't say that, Your Majesty." Mrs. Hildan hurriedly said, "Richard...The colonel controls everything on the surface, but there are countless people supporting you in private, whether it's the Guards or..."

"Guerilla?" The queen answered with a smile, "I know... I know all of this... I just hope they don't force themselves to participate in this matter... After all, this event will happen, mainly It's because I missed Richard... and they shouldn't have been involved in such a deep thing... The more they know, the greater the responsibility."

"Your Majesty... Colonel Richard's affairs... The responsibility is not on a certain individual." Hildan said with a sorrowful expression. "He wanted to use the kingdom itself as a blockade to make a gamble. If successful, the kingdom will naturally get peace. The power of the empire's frontal confrontation, but the possibility of failure..."

"But it's far greater than success." The queen closed her eyes in pain, "Richard... originally in my heart, his abilities, insights, and skills should be the top level of the new generation of the Kingdom Army... …Although it is not as good as Cassius, at least, I am very relieved to entrust the future of the Kingdom Army to him... It is a pity that this happened, but my evaluation of him was once greatly discounted. It is hard to believe that With his insight and skill, he would make such a move that puts the whole country on the roulette of gambles...this is not a rational choice, but the behavior of a lunatic."

"Yeah... Colonel Richard, where is it..." In this regard, although he has never participated in the actual management of the kingdom's affairs, he has served the queen for so many years, and Hildan also knows these things very well.

"No, in fact Richard has not changed." The Queen said solemnly, "Although his thinking and ultimate goal suddenly became very strange... But in dealing with people, in receiving people and things, in dealing with various situations In terms of handling...even including respect for me, he has not changed anything."

"This..." Mrs. Hildan is at a loss now. Since he hasn't changed at all, how can I explain what is happening now?

"Although this is a bit overconfident, I don't believe it is me... we have been misunderstanding him. If this is not the case, then there must be something else behind that is supporting him. The power of fame led him to deepen his deep concern about the future of the kingdom, and intensified his patriotic feelings that were already too radical. It also transferred Cassius away, entangled him, and gave him activities in the country. The space and time... when I think of the great power that might exist behind Richard, even I..." The queen did not continue, but even Hildan who was in the audience shuddered. If there is such a powerful force that can easily penetrate into a country, then--

"Don't show such a horrible expression, Hildan." The queen said gently, "Stop talking about such horrible topics, let's talk about something else. Counting time, should our champion come to the city? ?"

"Yes, the winner is..."

"Don't tell me yet, Hildan." The queen smiled mysteriously. "It is a surprise to keep the answer to the end."

"...Yes." Hildan supported the queen, step by step down the high stairs.

"I don't know... our champion, can it bring some surprises..." Hildan won't know the thoughts deep in the queen's heart.

It was also at this time that the heavy, strong, historic door of the royal city slowly opened, and three figures appeared on the opposite bank of the moat.

"Very well, Mr. Jin and the others have also gone in." In the dark place near the king city, Heilijia and Fei resumed their cloaks and body appearances. "Actually, that young and beautiful lady, principal Collins, Maduo Chief Ke Gongfang, as well as the grandfather who doesn’t know what he is called...these seemingly sturdy figures have also entered this royal city one after another."

"So, Richard will announce his...ambition today?" Fei asked from the side.

"Yeah...There are so many politicians, it must be right. And if the previous inferences are correct, Richard will launch the general offensive of the underground operation from now on... Before talking to Captain Yulia and the others. It’s almost time for it."

"But... why didn't Olivier come?" Fei remembered the last trio he had just entered, only to find that the figure of the golden skinny egg had disappeared.

"He..." Helija stopped talking, her dazzling blond hair, always felt like she had seen it there, but she couldn't remember it for a while, "It's a bit strange... with his character, it should be absolutely absolute. will not……"

"Wait." Fei suddenly interrupted Heliga's words, her voice became highly tense, "Someone is coming to our side."

"...Very strong." That kind of deep warrior aura can be experienced even across the wall. Although the visitor didn't seem to be malicious, the nerves in Heliga's body were tense. When the plan has reached this point, no more mistakes can be made.

"...Come out, two. I'm not malicious, I just want to invite you to have a good chat." A thick male voice came through the wall, "If possible, we will meet at the Imperial Embassy. I have already turned to the soldiers guarding the door. I told you that when you come to the embassy, ​​please go directly to the private room on the west side of the second floor. I'm waiting." After speaking, there was the sound of footsteps gradually rustling away.

"The imperial embassy...seems to be from the imperial side. But...the fullness of this person's body just now is not weaker than that of Mr. Jin...the imperial embassy actually hides such a master. It's... unexpected."

"Are you going?" Fei confirmed that the other party had completely left her perception zone, "It seems that there is no danger."

"...Go." After careful consideration, Heliga said, "Anyway, there is still some time before I negotiated with Miss Yulia and others... Any sudden changes in the plan should be followed up and adjusted immediately. It’s my style."

Taking off his cloak casually, Heliga's eyes were firm, and he looked towards the West Street District and the direction of the embassy.

"Who would it be... after all?"
