Blood Dragon

Chapter 210 Night Guest

Now she was alone in the room.Although the little girl was full of irritability, she had no outlet to vent it.She wanted to hit something, but controlled the desire with reason.So the last thing she could do was walk around in the middle of the room.

It was dark, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.Finally, like all girls her age do, she sat at the window and looked at the stars.

She no longer remembers her ascension to the throne.At that time she was too young to remember things.All this country needs is a political banner, and no one really cares what a five or six-year-old girl thinks.It was as if she was in a cloud of mist, she was inexplicably brought into a large hall, and a simple ceremony was held surrounded by many people.There are not many such things in human history records, but there are also many.If there is any difference between her and the king of the same type, it probably lies in the fact that she is more courageous and can calmly speak as the adults ordered in advance.

Of course, these are not things deep in her memory, but what other people told her later.She only had a very confused impression, because at that time she was vague and hazy, and she couldn't even really understand the news of her father and brother's death in battle.

The little girl sighed, and brought her thoughts back to reality from those vague memories.Girls her age are not good at recalling the past.

go out for a walk.The idea came to her suddenly, and she did just that.What did she have to worry about now?She's a queen, the kind that really holds power.And here is her palace, even if it is temporary, it is under her complete control.

As mentioned earlier, this mansion, which was used as a temporary royal palace, has not undergone much change, at least in terms of overall layout, it still maintains its original appearance.Not far from the little girl's residence, there is a garden that once bred the most exquisite flowers and shrubs.However, Ashrufat is not a person who appreciates gardening, so his way of dealing with this garden is to ignore it.After such a long time, there are not many artificial cultivations that are not vigorous enough.Now, there are weeds growing in the garden that are a head taller than the little girl.

There is a strange tranquility in the garden at night.When the little girl walked to the edge of the garden, she suddenly felt a strange noise.In normal times, she would definitely ignore the past, but the surroundings are too quiet at the moment.

"Laria...is that you?"

"Yes," the voice came from nowhere, and the little girl could only look in the general direction - it was the shadow of a wall under the moonlight, but Lalia couldn't be distinguished.This is not surprising to her, because Laria, also known as "Blood Rose", has an armor that can change colors.It was a gift from the vampires, a strange thing made in a way that humans don't understand.The little girl once observed this armor closely.

"What's the matter?" the little girl asked.Suddenly, she found herself a little scared.Maybe it's not too long since he has really been in power, and the feeling of being in power and bowing down to all living beings no longer exists.She found that she was still just a 13-year-old girl, standing alone in a place overgrown with weeds in the dark night.

"Over there, someone came in over the wall." Lalia reminded softly.

"Climb the wall?"

The defense measures of the temporary palace are not strict, and it is far from the real palace.However, if you want to sneak in over the wall from the outside without disturbing the patrols outside, this matter is not so difficult.First of all, you must be familiar with the various secret sentries and the flow changes between patrols, and then you must have an understanding of the layout and roads in the mansion.Finally, you must have very good skills.

In the long time since the little girl lived here, such things as "thieves" and "assassins" have never happened.

"Is...is it an assassin?" The little girl tried her best to keep calm.It doesn't matter, Lalia is by her side.She had seen with her own eyes that Lalia easily killed dozens of enemies by herself, and she already knew that Lalia possessed speed, strength and fighting skills far beyond her appearance.

"Probably not." Lalia replied. "Do I need to catch him? Or just kill him?"

This was the first time the little girl had encountered such a thing in such a long time, or since the night of the coup, so she didn't know what to do for a while.

"Can you catch someone alive?" But after a few seconds, the little girl calmed down.She's the queen now, the one who makes the decisions.

"I can't guarantee it. I'm not good at it, and it's more difficult to catch alive than to kill." Lalia answered directly.

"In short, do your best." The little girl replied.

"I'm going." There seemed to be something moving in the darkness, and it seemed that it was just a breeze blowing by.The little girl stood there and thought about it seriously.The one who sneaked in should be a cultist.But the little girl herself, the concept of believers of evil gods only exists on paper and lacks an intuitive understanding. She only knows a lot of hats that the church puts on believers of evil gods, such as evil, despicable, cruel, vicious and so on.

There was no sound in the distance.Although the little girl tried her best to hear something, all she actually heard was the sound of the wind.Everything seemed to be peaceful, not even the smallest abnormal noise occurred.

"Your Majesty." When the voice sounded, the little girl was really taken aback.Although she immediately tried her best to pretend to be calm, she wasn't sure if Lalia saw her fright just now.

"What's the matter...the intruder..."

"Well, I'm afraid that one is not an intruder. Ah, I mean... the one who came is Count Ashurfate."

"It's him?!" The surprise faded instantly, replaced by ecstasy.However, the ecstasy was immediately replaced by another kind of panic.

"Well, I brought him here." Lalia said, "Then, I will take my leave first."

After a few seconds, the little girl finally came to her senses.In fact, she wasn't ready yet, but Lalia hadn't responded to her cry.

A figure appeared from the other side of the garden, parted the tall weeds, and walked up to the little girl.

The speed of the figure was not fast, but before the little girl came back to her senses, the other party was already standing opposite her.The distance between the two sides was about five steps before the figure stopped.

Under the moonlight, the little girl clearly saw the scar on the bridge of the other's nose.This scar is the most striking feature on Ashrufat's face.In the moonlight, this scar is more conspicuous.

"You..." The little girl wanted to speak, but after she spoke the first syllable, she suddenly found that all the words she wanted to say before had disappeared.Although her mind was not blank, it was filled with strange data such as "we have not seen each other for 30 days plus a day".

……

"Aunt." Xing Ke walked into her aunt's room.As she expected, although it was late, Aunt Mary didn't seem to be sleepy at all.Dressed in sleepiness, she was lying on the bed in a reclining position, her eyes looking at the ceiling.His posture didn't change after Xing Ke entered the door.

"What's the matter?" asked Aunt Mary.

"It's like this...you...the thing we care about most, why don't you mention it?"

Her words were a little rambling, but Aunt Mary understood her niece very well.

"Are you talking about the little queen?" the old woman replied with a smile. "Of course, although I'm old, I'm not that old and confused."

"Then... why don't you take this opportunity to verify it?" Xing Ke said. "Is that true... Is the little queen hugging him..."

"It doesn't matter at all whether it's true or not." Aunt Mary interrupted the other party. "The key to this matter is not the little queen, but Ashuruffat. You should know that the important thing is not the relationship, but the marriage."

"what……"

"Feelings are things that cannot be controlled. Not only are they uncontrollable, they can't even be verified. Sometimes, you don't even know what the feelings in your heart are. Therefore, the correct way is to put aside the uncontrollable things, Do those things that can be controlled. For example, in this matter... The key to your marriage is not the little queen, but Ashuruffat. It is whether he will refuse to honor the marriage contract. Has he fallen in love with the little queen? It doesn't matter whether the queen or the little queen is in love with him. These two things are connected on the surface, but in fact they are completely independent. Focus on the actual marriage, not on the imaginary Emotionally. Hey," the old woman sighed. "The two of you studying magic just turned yourself into a silly house girl. These women don't understand things that they can understand naturally."

"but……"

"For example, if you asked this question just now, what result would you get? If Ashuruffat's heart was attracted by the little queen, or by the throne, asking him such a straightforward question would actually make him give up. The final decision. At that time, there will be no room for redemption. On the contrary, if you don’t tear up your face for the time being, maybe there is still a possibility... I know that your heart is doubting, shaking, and desperately wanting this answer. But what about getting the answer? This is not academic research, and getting the answer is the ultimate goal. What we are going to conduct is a more complex and skillful contest."

Xing Ke noticed the subtle change in her aunt's tone.

"Then, Ashurfat..."

"There's a good chance," said Aunt Mary. "I guess there will be a result today."

"Why today?"

"Today... there are several possibilities. However," Aunt Mary asked strangely. "Think about it, coming to see you at this sensitive time... Do you think it's normal? You also heard what he said just now... General Beler's visit to Falcon City should have happened in the past few days... In other words, In a few days, he can go back to the city generously, and then come back to meet you when he accepts the appointment and leaves. Unless he is in that kind of crazy relationship... Do you think he is this type? So, Coming to see you in a hurry this time... there must be something wrong."

The answer seems to be on the horizon.No matter how stupid Xing Ke is, he still realizes what Auntie really means.

"So..." Aunt Mary said softly. "The matter is very simple. I'm afraid he will meet more than you guys this time, as well as our little queen, or someone else we don't know. And it won't be a simple meeting."
