Chapter 529 7. Inside the Golden Palace
"Whoo~"

"The annual Magic Association level assessment exam has begun! Today's newspaper has the time and place for the exam! One copy only costs 1 nanoinch!"

"Woo~"

"A brand-new mechanical design module, if you have the ability, you can use it in combination with any ring number of magic."

"duo~"

"Hurry up! Hurry up and get on the bus, okay! The train is about to start and stay here!"

Passing through the wide ocean, the sea breeze caused by the uneven heat and cold at noon landed on the Western Continent from the sea, and captured the bustling land that seemed to be paved with gold.

The ever-expanding city is full of the sound of machinery running, regular signals, and the sound of people talking and hurrying.

On top of the building, numerous flags engraved with the golden "Gedelin Coat of Arms" were attracted by the passing sea breeze and fluttered their faces, dyeing the buildings here with a layer of golden brilliance.

This is Saint Nari, the pearl of human civilization, perhaps since long ago.

Many years ago, even travelers who were traveling in the cold and wild places would love this wonderful place, but even so, after Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne, the brilliance here can no longer be summed up as "Pearl".

Just like the golden light emitted by the dazzling flag, here is the sun, the sun of the Western Continent, and the sun of the whole world.

The sea breeze then moves forward, passing through dense commercial land and residential areas, and entering the hinterland along the central axis of Saint Nari, a golden palace will come into its sight.This is the center of Saint Nari and the power center of the entire Nari.

"Kakkaka!"

The gate guarded by the armored men did not stop the human beings from all over the world who came here for pilgrimage. They often appeared outside the Golden Palace, trying to observe the Queen's thoughts through the building a little distance from them. Think, behold her virtue and wisdom.

"."

"Swally felt that since they also contributed to the coalition forces in the Southern Continent at that time, it is only natural that they should also have a share in the development of New Dragon Court, no matter how big or small."

In the outer court, in a spacious room, an elderly gentleman in a black formal suit stroked his neatly trimmed white "V" mustache, and looked slightly at the colleague beside him and the most important position in his eyes. The queen above is sipping tea.

It has been more than five years since she ascended the throne, and the empress's palace has grown deeper, which made the new prime minister feel a lot of pressure.

The Queen Elizabeth, who combed her long golden hair neatly into an elegant bun, glanced at the Prime Minister and said lightly,

"What do you think, Sir O'oni?"

At this time, they were discussing daily matters, and the topic was, as the Prime Minister said, related to the division of interests in the Southern Continent.

To understand the pros and cons, it is necessary to have a detailed understanding of the previous relationship between Nali, the countries of the Western Continent, and the Green Dragon Court.

In the past, the development of the Southern Continent has always been authorized by the Western Continent to the merchants and nobles below.After all, the rulers of various countries have nothing to do in their own backyards, so how can they have any leisure to engage in the southern continent far away in the sky.

As long as those merchants and nobles hand over enough money, they can get the tacit approval of the countries in the Western Continent to develop the Southern Continent. As long as they bring back those valuable resources and sub-human slaves, who cares what they do there? To ease the conflicts in your own family, why not do it?

This is also the source of so many cities and city lords in the Southern Continent with different forces, independent, and isolated islands. In essence, it is a kind of colonial plunder.

But on the surface, the officials of several countries that signed the "Regulations on the Protection of the Southern Continent" do not support this kind of plundering, but anyway, the southern continent is full of scattered demi-humans and human aborigines, even if they do something, they will die Those who died and became slaves became slaves, and no one would go to the Western Continent to cry for grievances.

It's just that none of the human beings thought that something really happened before.

The city owners who ran over to develop were chased and beaten all the way by the local dragonmen from the southern continent, and rolled back to their hometown with a bruised nose and a swollen face. This matter is more troublesome.

Everyone is not doing well in terms of face and morality, but one thing is clear: they still have to find their way back.

But to be honest, both Schwari and Kadu seem to be a bit stretched on this matter.

Coordinating the army and navy operations across continents will consume a lot of resources and energy of the country. Shivali and Kadu officials don't want to spend this money very much, not to mention from the guys who escaped for their lives. The flying dog jumping dragon queen is not a good stubble. Not only is she very strong, but she also robbed a lot of things from their western continent. If they really want to fight, the dragon queen relies on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea. I don’t know what to fight Time is the head.

The matter was so stalemate, and summed up, the situation in the Western Continent at that time was: the public opinion was very angry, the deployment of troops had to be done immediately, the money was not in place, and there was no progress.

Just when the two countries were bluffing and the thunder was heavy and the rain was light, Queen Elizabeth, who was far to the west in Nali, suddenly handed over a step. It turned out that there was an aboriginal dragonman from the southern continent, who had the same root and origin as that dragon queen. running over to convey the meaning of peace.

Oh, it turns out that the Southern Continent doesn't really want to fight us to the end!

Life still has to live (you still have to save face), let’s turn over the past (turn over the past era of joint development), as long as you don’t bully us in the future (as long as you follow Nali in the future), we can cooperate well ( Just develop the Southern Continent well).

Although Shiwali and Kadu are still greedy for the resources of the Southern Continent, they can't afford so much military expenditure for the time being. Only Nari can afford it, so it's almost enough to drink soup with Elizabeth.

What's more, according to their calculations, maybe they can take advantage of this opportunity to use troops against the southern continent to drag Nali into the quagmire of unlimited investment to curb Elizabeth's expansion. Why not do it?

Therefore, whether it is Shivali or Kadu, the decision at the time was to watch the fire from the other side, wanting to see Nali suffer a lot. As long as you are not a fool, you will know that it must be Nali. The people who were recruited had no foundation at all, let alone any military strength.

The main body of the so-called "Southern Continent Human and New Dragon Ting Allied Forces" is actually the new army drilled by Nali, with some troops from other countries and demi-human troops as embellishments.

This obvious use of troops and the incalculable results of the war caused even the parliament and all levels of society in Nari to oppose Elizabeth's decision.

But Elizabeth did it abruptly. Nali's army was brave and good at fighting in the southern continent, defeated the so-called "Dragon Queen" in one fell swoop, and returned to the deep mountains in the south to lie dormant and dare not come out.
Hearing the Queen's voice in the distance, the Prime Minister named "Ooni" touched his beard again, and then said,

"At that time, His Majesty made a strange move, bought and recruited the legendary pirate Blackbeard of the Eastern Ocean, and took all the ancient relics and technologies of the Storm Sea into his pocket; when making the decision to use troops, he even rejected all opinions, selected talents, reformed the army's long-standing shortcomings, and supervised the battle in real time ; Nali sergeants and people are more dedicated to the country. All these are from our Nali. Even if Shivali and Kadu intend to seek cooperation, they should wait and let them air.
"I think the best official reply is: 'Nali has reached a consensus with Xinlongting and will no longer interfere in the affairs of the southern continent. Please discuss all cooperation matters with Xinlongting in detail, and Nali will not participate.'"

All the ministers next to him were speechless about the new prime minister.

The previous prime minister was a member of the New Party. Although many things still need to be done, many things conflicted with Queen Elizabeth's decision-making, so His Majesty changed a Griffin Party prime minister, hoping that the new prime minister would be a little more obedient.

But as the saying goes, extremes lead to opposites.

This one is really too flattering, in fact, he only needs to say the last sentence, and all the previous praises are all nonsense.

And this is already the refined version after Elizabeth's warning. You must know that at the beginning, he was able to make up such "hidden praise" for several minutes as a reason, and what he paid attention to was a boast.

Above, Elizabeth, who was drinking tea, slowly put down her teacup, then slowly stood up, revealing her elegant long white and gold dress.

Seeing that Her Majesty got up, the ministers below all planned to get up one after another, but Elizabeth only walked to the side of the maid who was holding a warm towel and wiped her hands with the towel to end the lunch.

Then, she waved them to sit down again,

"That's it. Also, when will the matter of the female pirate, Sardinian woman be in place? Princess Isabel is still by her side, do you want my sister to be eaten by sharks one day?"

All the ministers remained silent, and at the same time looked at Marix who was in charge of the Secret Bureau.

He looked at his colleagues beside him expressionlessly, and then said,
"When the Black Chief was bought by us the year before last, he originally wanted to bring back Princess Isabel as a token or bargaining chip with us. So without our permission, he took the first step to scare the snake away and backstabbed the Sardinian woman Pirate. Although the pirate suffered heavy losses and was even seriously injured, he still let her escape. But the black chief said that it was because Princess Isabel was protecting the pirate captain and escaped. He dared not fire for fear of accidentally hurting Princess Isabel, That's why Her Royal Highness

Marix is ​​too senior, and may be the least afraid of Elizabeth among these people.

The meaning of this sentence is so obvious that it doesn’t need to be more obvious. The translation is,
"Don't blame us, it's not your sister, she doesn't want to come back at all!!"

Elizabeth sat back on her seat again, without any extra expression on her face, she just asked,

"Mr. Marix, I remember that you have a granddaughter who is underage. I would like to ask, if your granddaughter rebelled and ran away from home, as a grandfather, will you bring her back or let her wander outside?"

Marix didn't answer, but said,
".According to our information, the pirate captain has been drifting at sea. We intercepted some shores before and caused some losses. Now she may still be wandering in the North Sea, or she may have landed in the North. If she has already landed In the northern border, she must die without a place to bury her. The Turan family will help us watch over it. But it seems that the Turan family also has a little trouble to face. They didn’t elaborate, but it may be related to Saima Snow Mountain.”

"I see, this matter is entirely up to you. Within three months, I will see my Isabel come back. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"No more, Your Majesty."

Elizabeth nodded, then stood up expressionlessly, left the discussion place first, and walked towards the inner court where she lived in Xunri.

Now she is the only one of the Godling family living in the inner court. She originally had two half-brothers, but Elizabeth sent them all out of the palace and sent them to other places.

It is not clear whether it is the power's rejection of any other possibilities or Elizabeth's heart for the blood of this family. In short, she did not kill them, but she did not give them any chance.

The inner court of the Golden Palace is the same as the outer court. There are many inner court ladies and maids who serve her, but she still feels empty, as if she is the only one in the entire Golden Palace. Those ministers, inner court officials and maids are just her cold outer court. Tools and Puppets at .
Especially in front of her own pair of eyes that can see through desires, all the relationships left for her are only cold interests and desires.

It is precisely because of this that she has become more and more reticent.

Even though there are more and more expensive dogs of all kinds from all over the world in the Golden Palace, the place is strangely becoming more and more deserted and quiet.

She lived like this for five years.

The maids behind followed her back from the outer court to the inner court, and many cleaning maids beside her lowered their heads, and the maids following her followed her silently as if they had been deprived of the right to make a sound, until Elizabeth went back to her bedroom alone.

"Go and rest, there are other things tonight."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The maid behind her retreated, and Elizabeth was the only one left in the huge palace. She glanced at the desk full of official documents, and originally wanted to move there and handle the affairs as she expected.

But halfway through the steps, he stayed in place again.

For some reason, she was in a particularly moody mood today, not to say irritable, but feeling like she didn't want to do anything.

She may need a vacation, but she is not a queen who is tense all the time. She knows the principle of combining work and rest, so she will also arrange a short time to rest during high-intensity work.

But even so, it seems that it is not enough anyway, and only constant busyness can fill the void that cannot be relaxed.

After hesitating for a moment, she went straight to her dressing table. After sitting down quietly, her expressionless face was reflected in the mirror, which was no different from five years ago. No, even a younger face.

She looked at her majestic self in the mirror, and didn't move for a long time. She just tapped the prosthetic eye in her eye socket, waiting for it to give a crisp response.

"Prosthetic eyes."

During this period of time, her strength will increase, and her body does not mean to weaken.

She had been so young and golden since she came to the throne, and even the only time she got sick was when Fisher called her and disappeared four and a half years ago.

"buzzing"

The eyes sent back an unknown response from the heart, as if asking "what?", but Elizabeth didn't ask any further questions.

She just rang the bell on the dressing table, as if waiting for something.

"squeak"

A moment later, the door of the bedroom suddenly opened, revealing a smiling middle-aged beauty outside the door.

The middle-aged woman has a gentle appearance, wearing a light golden slim dress that is different from other maids, and her long blond hair is tied into an elegant bun. This is Elizabeth's inner court officer Diane, a Confidante of Her Majesty Elizabeth,

"Your Majesty, I'm here, do you have any orders?"

"... Diane, help me comb my hair."

"Ah, that's really strange. There shouldn't be a dinner party on tonight's schedule."

Having said that, Diane still walked over, stretched out her hand to caress the already tied golden hair accessories on Elizabeth's head very familiarly, and methodically took off the complicated hair accessories on her head one by one.

Elizabeth glanced at Diane who was serving her behind her, her expression didn't change much for her question,
"It was just a sudden thought."

"Because of something, Your Majesty?"

"Nothing."

"It turns out that this is because of some reasons that I can't explain."

"There must be a reason?"

"That is inevitable, Your Majesty, everyone has a reason for everything, and you are no exception."

Elizabeth glanced at the gentle Diane behind her through the mirror again, but did not deny her words again.

With Pandora's prosthetic eye, she can see through everyone's desires, of course she knows that everyone has their own purpose in everything they do, and that is of course desire.

Even Diane behind her was like this. She entered the Golden Palace to serve herself only in the hope that her useless younger siblings would have a place to live.Although Diane didn't mention it to herself, Elizabeth read her request with her prosthetic eyes.

But after all, she had never said anything, and she probably felt it was inappropriate, so she just used her salary in the Golden Palace to subsidize her family.

Elizabeth knew a long time ago that many desires are hidden in her heart, and many of them have no chance to be turned into action; but on the other hand, it must be desire that turns into action.

"Would you like me to guess His Majesty's reason?"

"Oh, I didn't expect you to have such a guessing ability besides being serious?"

"Thanks for the praise, but in the past, my younger siblings and I have never lost a quiz."

Diane stroked Elizabeth's hair, and used a comb to straighten out the broken hair that had been scattered just now, and Elizabeth didn't refuse, just said softly,

"Oh, let's take a guess."

"Well, I guess...it's because of the Lord Fisher Benavidez."

"Snapped!!"

The expression on Elizabeth's face faded little by little, and then she suddenly reached out and patted the other's hand on her hair away.

This time, although the voice was not loud, Diane took a step back and looked down, her palm was already blue.

Looking up again, I saw that Elizabeth's face in the mirror became extremely cold. She sneered and said without looking back,
"Why, I heard the story of Fisher and I in the past, and felt that I had seized a speculative opportunity, but it is too late to say it now? You have worked here for four years, don't you know What should I say, what should I not say?"

"Don't dare, Your Majesty"

Diane smiled wryly and put her injured, bruised palm into her arms. She had worked beside Elizabeth for so long, so of course she knew that many speculators had relied on Her Majesty Elizabeth and the long-disappeared The Fisher story speculates too.
But Diane knew very well that when His Majesty sent the request of "returning only Princess Isabel, which can be exchanged for gold and titles" to the captain of the Sardinian women, she has never found anyone who might be with her. Fisher is in trouble with a lady.

Maybe she didn't care about it from the bottom of her heart, just because the gentleman who hadn't heard from him once told her that he would definitely come back.

And the queen once again chose to trust the other party.

Therefore, in these years, except for the things about Princess Isabel, she no longer has any personal emotions in anything she does, and only weighs Nari's interests.

"Then you said these words today, are you looking for death, Diane?"

After Diane's palm was hit hard behind her, Elizabeth did not stop her movements. She stretched out her hand to the mirror, combed her hair, and asked in such a cold voice.

"Of course not. Your Majesty just asked us about the progress of the Cardinal Factory in Longting City in the Southern Continent. General Barbatos who was stationed there brought a message. I...I just wanted to confirm with Your Majesty, but I didn't expect."

"information?"

Elizabeth's eyes moved slightly, but the action of combing her hair stopped.

Through the mirror, Diane's figure behind her was reflected in her golden eyes, and the other's desire was instantly revealed.

She...doesn't have the desire to speculate on Soli.
Well, the news is
"Your Majesty, the news brought by General Barbatos may be related to that Fisher Benavides."

"possible?"

Elizabeth continued to comb her hair, and her eyes returned to the mirror.

"Yes, the general said that he found a Nari gentleman who was good at blocking attacks with magic broke into our factory that produces cardinals. He was not familiar with Mr. Fisher's appearance, but he only heard the voice next to the Nari gentleman. The female companion called him 'Fisher'. General Barbatos couldn't be sure, so I had to let me report it to you."

Elizabeth was still combing her hair, but her movements were getting slower and slower.

"That is to say, everything is uncertain, everything is just his guess? I did not visit the Southern Continent to award Barbatos' military position in person. I only know that he is brave and good at fighting. How can you guarantee that he is not a speculator?"

"Unfortunately, Your Majesty, I can't guarantee it either. That's why I brought General Barbatos' words word for word, hoping His Majesty will make a decision. Of course, I also reported a little luck. Maybe His Majesty can feel better because of this? "

Resisting the pain in her hand, Diane stretched out her hand again to take Elizabeth's unfinished blonde hair, and slowly tied her back. She also said softly,
"Your Majesty, the information finally said that the gentleman, with a strange female companion, headed for the south of the Southern Continent."

Behind him, after the report, Diane lowered her head, took a step back cautiously, kept her distance, and waited for her order.

In the mirror, Elizabeth's hair accessories changed. She was still as beautiful as the rising queen of Nari like the sun.

She was so majestic, with unquestionable indifference and ruthlessness in her hollow golden eyes.

In the past years, she has always been like this with power in her hands, and everyone, even herself, is used to it.

But under the dressing mirror, a slightly yellowed photo was still placed in the frame.

In the photo, Elizabeth and Fisher, dressed in the costumes of the Royal Academy, stood side by side at the gate of the Royal Academy very close to each other. At that time, the photo camera was still a rare thing, and only a princess like Elizabeth could take it. Come out and leave such a memorial.

On the screen, Elizabeth has a bright smile and bright eyes. Under the slender scholar's robe, her hands are tightly clasped.

Elizabeth looked at the photo expressionlessly, except that the hand that was about to break the back of the court officer's hand behind her was clenched tighter and tighter.
