in the name of the queen

Chapter 296 Which Queen?

She is coming.

The accompanying historian looked calm and silently recorded the Queen's itinerary.

The beautiful and glorious Queen Silve Sussex York arrived in the loyal Hanseatic city on September 1794, 9.

Flags with green leaves and five petals of white roses fluttered in the streets, salutes of twenty-one guns roared, and the red carpet stretched from the city gate to the central square.

Caesar Roland personally led overseas officials ten miles out of the city to greet him.

The cheers were deafening as the Queen lifted the curtains and stepped out of her carriage, waving to her subjects.

There was no prearranged support, it was all true feelings.

Roland dared to vouch for his personality, at least he didn't do it.

He smiled and looked at Sif, who was as bright as the sun, and sighed in his heart.

She guides emerging industries such as industry, commerce, education, and finance to flourish.

Is your acting a little overdone?
Roland shrugged and responded with a smile.

The bandwagon effect took effect quickly, and soon more and more people were kneeling down. They did not even dare to look directly at the dazzling halo shrouding the Queen's back.

From this angle, you can watch the city entry ceremony from a distance.

Three points of pride mixed with seven points of joy of reunion after a long separation, gently swaying away.

Stretching out her hands in an upward gesture, she motioned for everyone to get up.

Although it is somewhat inconsistent for an autocratic monarch to promise freedom and dignity to his subjects, everyone is willing to believe that this is enough.

Her vision range has been increased.

However, when Sif came to Hansa City again, everything changed.

The crowd who knelt down and huffed and puffed quickly stood up again.

The corners of Sif's lips rose. She was no longer afraid of the exam because she knew the perfect answer.

Such a beautiful girl must be very attractive when made into an ice sculpture.

Thinking of these achievements, Roland also felt honored as the man standing behind the Queen.

There’s no acting, it’s all emotion.

Sif squinted her eyes and looked at Roland, a little confused.

Sif looked at Roland with her peripheral vision.

Looking at Sif, who was as beautiful and proud as the stars holding the moon, Angelina bit her lip and complained silently.

This is her reward for charging the ice crystal blue ring.

She is not perfect like a human, but like the most beautiful race in the legend, an elf.

This time he really got a perfect answer, and he was even more handsome than he expected for his lines.

She dealt with disloyal opponents.

The entire audience was silent, and then burst into loud cheers.

She personally opened up new frontiers for the empire.

More and more people joined in the chorus, and the singing became louder and louder, making the whole city tremble.

Sif looked majestic yet kind, waving to everyone gracefully and communicating with her subjects with gentle eyes.

When they left the imperial capital, they could not be said to be bereft dogs, at least they were in a state of utter disarray.

I hope you can laugh when you face Her Majesty Sophia.

The sound of the city entry ceremony was carried to a manor not far away.

I don’t know who took the lead, but someone knelt on the ground in excitement and burst into tears.

While they were waiting for the Queen's lecture with excitement and anxiety, Sif's clear voice floated into the distance along with the amplification magic circle, echoing over the city.

Someone sang God Save the Queen, and the melodious melody infected everyone present.

Angelina, who was reading, was disturbed by the loud sound, so she had to put down the book, go out and climb to the roof to look through the telescope.

Appreciation comes from the heart.

It’s another long-lost in-class test.

Roland raised his hands and clapped rhythmically.

It was the first time for many people to see the Queen's heroic appearance with their own eyes. They simply couldn't believe that such a beautiful girl existed in the world.

Just looking at each other once, they completed the communication.

Roland did not remind Sif how to deal with it.

"My subjects, please remember that no one in Sussex has to kneel to anyone. I will defend your freedom and dignity!"

She is now the de facto monarch with complete imperial power.

The welcoming team and the people who came spontaneously totaled more than 30,000 people, but Sif and Roland's eyes were able to accurately lock each other in the crowd.

A monarch with absolute power promises freedom and dignity to his subjects?
It's ridiculous.

How could she say such shameless words without any psychological burden? Who did you learn this from?

Angelina put down the telescope and remained speechless.

Of course she knew who she learned it from, who else could it be, Roland.

This is your last romantic moment, enjoy it.

Angelina jumped off the roof half-heartedly, returned to the study room under the watchful eyes of the two maids, and continued reading.

She had indeed wasted too much time before.

Her Majesty the Queen is right, no matter how busy you are, you should take time to read more.

Thinking that the fire of her life would be extinguished in the Queen's wrath, Angelina inexplicably felt the urgency of time passing.

There was no time to waste, she still had many books to read.

The disputes and intrigues outside suddenly seemed very distant.

Among the books she can borrow, her favorite is astronomy and geography.

It's a pity that she is confined here and cannot go out to see this beautiful world.

Fortunately, she still has a telescope, and night is her romantic time.

She can look up at the stars.

Compared with the vast starry sky, human beings are so small.

Be it Sif or Roland, even the invincible Her Majesty Sophia is nothing compared to the stars in the sky.

Even if that goddess is so high above, what is she compared to the stars in the universe?

We are all ants, but some ants are slightly stronger.

Angelina, who was enlightened, ignored the cheers outside, took out a book "Basic Astrology" from the bookshelf, and studied it carefully.

Look at the stars tonight.

Angelina will watch the stars tonight, and Hanseatic City will welcome the Queen with a grand welcome ceremony tonight.

Some people are excited and want to see something more exciting.

Rupert, the new chief of military intelligence, is also part of the Queen's entourage.

When the Queen goes to sea, it is not as simple as revisiting her old place. Sif came out this time and had no intention of going back soon.

She outlined a development blueprint and returned local government affairs to the cabinet.

It seems like we are back to square one, but completely different from when Edward was in office.

When Edward was there, the imperial power and the prime minister's power were in fierce conflict and constant tension.

After Sif ascended the throne, the cabinet was no longer a political group competing with her for power, but became her agency for handling domestic and foreign affairs.

She holds absolute power.

Only Roland can share the core power from her, everyone else is a wage earner.

Rupert did not want to stay in the country, so he volunteered and asked to accompany him.

His reason is simple. He wants to be closer to the enemy so that the accuracy and timeliness of collecting intelligence will be greater.

Of course, Sif couldn't refuse such a reasonable reason.

In fact, even if Rupert hadn't mentioned it, she would have asked him to accompany her.

A war is about to begin, and logistics and intelligence must come first.

If Rupert didn't offer to accompany him, there was probably something wrong with his loyalty and ability.

But Sif didn't notice the burning soul of gossip in Rupert's eyes.

His information is updated quickly.

He knew that Roland captured Angelina and expelled the Vladimir Empire army.

This information is nothing, and keen experts can always dig out the details that are horrifying to consider.

He noticed that Roland had an extra ring on his left middle finger.

Ice crystal blue ring.

The wedding ring worn by Empress Sofia when she married the former Emperor of the Vladimir Empire seven years ago. She was still very young at that time, beautiful and graceful, with a gentle smile and as pure as water.

She stopped laughing after she personally killed her violent husband.

That wedding ring is a magic ring passed down from generation to generation in Sophia's family.

It's called the Ice Crystal Blue Ring.

It is now worn on Roland's left hand, on the middle finger.

Noticing this detail, Rupert trembled with excitement.

Just with this ring, The Sun could publish several special issues and break sales records!
"Two or three things that have to be said between the queen's loyal subjects and the enemy queen"

"My lover's lover is not my lover"

"Details exposed, she finally noticed the origin of the ring"

"Shocked, the outbreak of the world war happened because of a ring"

Rupert's brain was shaking.

After trembling to the extreme, he was immediately dominated by endless pain.

The Sun cannot write.

In the past, he was just a carefree and idle aristocrat, a carefree aristocratic son, a media tycoon who could gossip as much as he wanted.

But not now.

He is now an important minister of the empire and the chief of intelligence.

Senior officials in the cabinet let their own tabloids report on the Queen's scandal?

Is this good? This is not good.

He is a decent man now and must be a decent man.

Thinking of not being able to expose this shocking discovery, Rupert was so sad that he wanted to cry, but he came anyway.

Even if you can't be exposed, at least you have to be in the front row to watch the show.

How will the Queen treat Roland? Will you be doubtful or angry?
He was curious.

He has provided Her Majesty the Queen with the most detailed information that she can understand.

Rupert, who was dominated by the melon-eating soul, walked a little tiptoe.

During the whole dinner, he was the most distracted.

He had been waiting for the Queen to ask a question, but unfortunately she didn't.

Just when he thought that this moment would not come and they would resolve it privately, the Queen's clear voice still rang out.

"Qing Luo Lan, did you capture any special trophies after defeating Angelina?"

Sif's expression was calm and her tone did not waver.

She glanced across the room, paying attention to everyone's expressions.

Most people are looking forward to getting promoted and getting rich, but Rupert is as anxious as a monkey.

She wanted to laugh.

Although this guy understands intelligence, he doesn't understand people's hearts at all.

There is only one person in this world who deserves her complete trust, and that is Roland.

He was her world.

Isn't it just a wedding ring? Even if Roland asked her to help propose marriage to Sophia on the spot.
She would not blame Roland and would accompany him to the new world.

Take a romantic trip to the River Styx, for example.

How could Roland betray?

Facing Sif's calm "casual" question, Roland strode to the center of the banquet hall, took off the ring from his left hand, and held it up high for everyone present to see.

"Here is the trophy, the ice crystal blue ring, Queen Sophia's wedding ring."

There was silence.

Can this be said?
No one knew what Roland wanted to do, including Sif.

She knew that Roland must have his own reasons for doing this, and she was waiting.

Some were silent, others frowned.

According to the custom of the Rurik people, wearing a wedding ring on the middle finger of the left hand means that you are about to say goodbye to being single.

What Roland did was really outrageous.

Porthos couldn't help teasing: "Your Majesty the Governor, are you planning to marry that bitch?"

Of course, he was not trying to discredit Roland, but he was just reminding Roland to express his attitude quickly so as not to cause misunderstanding.

Most of the people present knew what he meant and burst into laughter.

Xif was also cheering, "Qing Luo Lan, although you have an outstanding position and great strength, it is almost impossible to marry Sophia. I'm afraid you have to get married to have a chance."

Under everyone's gaze, Roland stepped forward step by step with a calm expression.

"Your Majesty, I have made countless contributions to the empire. I would like to ask you to prepare a grand wedding for me that matches my status. I want to propose to that distinguished woman far away in the sky, with outstanding temperament, dazzling beauty, and status that far exceeds mine. "

Wait, what is he talking about?
The whole audience was stunned, and all the guests at the banquet were dumbfounded.

If it's the adjective that follows, it could be Sif or Sophia, but what does "far away in the sky" mean?
Queen Sif is right in front of you.

Everyone is just joking, are you serious?
Sif's reddish cheeks instantly turned white.

The blood all over her body almost solidified, and she was dumbfounded.

There is only one person who meets all the above qualifiers, Sophia.

Her lips trembled, trying desperately to find reasons to comfort herself.

Roland is definitely not in love with his enemy. He will never like a cold woman who murders her husband. He just sacrifices himself in exchange for her survival.

That must be it!

Her mind went blank, and she responded numbly subconsciously:

"As you wish, is the person you propose to marry Sophia?"

There was silence.

A pin dropped on the ground can make a deafening sound.

Just when the atmosphere was almost suffocating, Roland finally couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.

Hearing Sif's heartbroken voice, he felt a little distressed and a little angry.

You idiot, how could I be related to that kind of woman?

Forget it, he can't guess the girl's thoughts, and it's normal for the girl to not guess his thoughts.

It's better to be honest and tell the truth.

Roland moved forward slowly, with steady steps and a firm voice.

"I once met the most beautiful girl in the world."

"I thought it was a dream."

"And yet she appeared in front of me."

"When my heartstrings were plucked by her bright eyes, I finally realized that I had already fallen."

"Beautiful Miss Sylph, are you willing to come down to earth from the clouds and complete the journey of life hand in hand with a mortal like me?"

Sif was stunned.

So far away in the sky turns out to be just an adjective?
She was so stupid that she forgot that Roland was the champion of the essay contest.

"Oh my God, the Queen is pregnant, who did it?" "It's not fiction, it's fact.

Everyone suddenly realized.

Hey, this guy Roland, if you propose, just propose, you have to go around in such a circle.

As expected of a cultured person, he has to turn around when he farts.

Sif stood up and walked to the center of the banquet hall.

Her eyelashes were trembling, and tears wet the corners of her eyes at some point.

Her walking speed was exactly the same as Roland's.

Their steps were steady, moving toward each other.

The speed of running in both directions is countless times faster than traveling alone.

Because some roads cannot be walked by one person.

Such as love.

Sif raised her slender fingers and greeted her.

The ice crystal blue ring was accurately placed on her slender ring finger, adjusting its size adaptively and wrapping her white fingers softly.

She nodded with a sob, closed her eyes, and responded softly: "I do."

With everyone watching, Roland put his arms around her hot and soft waist, leaned over and kissed her.
