Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 519 Thank you

Seeing her clothes and the filth on her body, the queen frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything, until the girl looked up and saw her face full of scars, which finally surprised the queen. Shrunk sharply.

Although it recovered immediately, this small detail was still captured by the sensitive girl.Immediately Asuo lowered his head with a little inferiority complex.He even hastily put the hood on his cloak over his head to hide his face.

The girl's actions caught the queen for a moment, and soon she realized that she might have hurt the girl invisibly.

The Queen walked up to Asuo, lowered her body slightly, and made herself at eye level with her, and asked, "My child, what do you want from me?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... this, this, this..."

As soon as the queen opened her mouth, Asuo immediately became nervous, stammering and stretching out his hands slightly.

In her hand, she held the sachet carefully.The palm is stretched out flat, as if it is afraid of getting dirty even if it is folded.

The queen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at her waist, only to realize that the sachet that was originally hanging there was gone.

"Son, did you pick this up and want to return it to me?"

The queen took the sachet, touched the girl's head, and smiled softly at her: "Really, thank you, this is a gift from Wei Wei a few days ago to celebrate my ascension to the throne, if you lose it It's really a headache."

"No no no no thanks!"

Being stroked by the Queen, Asuo blushed instantly, feeling a little flattered.This is the first time someone has made such an intimate gesture to her since she was a child.What's more, this is the queen!
The queen not only praised her, but also touched her head, which made Asuo even feel like he was dreaming.Now she felt that all the pain and suffering just now were worth it.

Just as Asuo was indulging in this blissful shock, he suddenly felt that the Queen's touch froze for a moment. She subconsciously looked up and found that the Queen was staring blankly at the sachet in her hand. Asuo followed her Looking at it, I saw that the corner of the sachet was actually stained with filth!

It was a stain mixed with blood, mud and snow water. Although it was only a little bit, it was very conspicuous on such a delicate and beautiful sachet.

how so?How could it be stained?She obviously protected herself very well, and she even washed her hands with snow water because she was afraid that her hands would stain the sachet.

Is it...

Asuo's eyes widened quickly, and she realized the truth of the matter.It was because of the lack of time that she washed her hands with snow water but didn't wash them thoroughly, and because she was sweating nervously, the side close to the palm of her hand was stained.

"This is really bad..."

The Queen suddenly frowned.

"Yes, sorry, I, I... I will be responsible for cleaning it up, I'm really sorry..."

Aso immediately tensed up.I was in a hurry to explain, but I didn't know what to say, so I could only bow and apologize in the end.

"This is really...too serious..."

Unexpectedly, the queen leaned down and gently took Asuo's hands while speaking, looking at the scars on the back of her hands, the queen couldn't help frowning.

At this time, the back of Asuo's hand was covered with purple bruises and frostbite, with wounds of various sizes all over it, and many places were even oozing blood.

Such a tragic situation made the queen feel distressed.

"Who is this? It's too much to do such a cruel thing..."

"what?"

Asuo raised his head in a daze. Could it be that the "serious" that the queen just mentioned did not refer to the sachet, but... his own hand?
The queen looked at the girl's dumbfounded expression, coupled with the matter of the sachet before, and looked back at the street she came from, already having some guesses in her heart.

"Son, don't you just make yourself like this for the sake of the sachet?"

"Ah? I...I..."

Asuo stammered, but didn't know whether to shake his head or nod at this moment.Finally, under the gaze of the Queen, she could only say weakly: "Because, this is something very important to His Majesty...so..."

"What nonsense!"

Unexpectedly, the queen interrupted her directly this time, and said in a reprimanded tone: "No matter how important it is, it is nothing more than one thing. How can it be compared with others?"

How can one compare with...

This means...does it mean that you are more important than the sachet?
Asuo stared blankly at the face of the queen who was so close, she could even clearly feel the other's breathing, and at this moment, the face of this peerless beauty was full of distress and pity.

A person like her... a person who has been abandoned by the world is also valuable in the Queen's eyes...

Asuo suddenly felt his eye sockets heat up, and his eyes became moist.She sniffled hastily, resisting the urge to cry.

"Quick, adjutant, what are you still doing, go get the plaster."

The Queen gave instructions to a woman behind her.After speaking, he hurriedly squatted down, condensing water magic in his hand.

When Asuo came back to her senses, she realized that her hands had been wrapped in a ball of clear water.This is a water spell created by an epic hero. It is powerful and is automatically cleaning her wounds. The queen even warmed the water carefully. At this moment, it is soaked in warm water, and Asuo's frostbitten palms are gradually recovering. perception.

After being soaked in warm water, her hands were warm and extremely comfortable. Afterwards, the queen even personally applied a high-grade ointment from the palace to her.

Asuo watched this scene in a daze the whole time, and even forgot to express his thanks.Of course, if you really want her to thank her, she can't think of any words of gratitude, because this is no longer a feeling that only thanks can express.

"Son, what's your name?"

"Huh? I, my name is Suo, Sophie Lan."

"Sofilan, that's a very good name, then I'll call you Asuo."

The Queen smiled, and while bandaging Asuo's wound, she asked, "Asuo, where are your parents?"

"I, I don't have...parents..."

The Queen's movements paused for a while, but she recovered after a long time, and continued to ask: "Then, why are you wearing so little, aren't you cold?"

"for this I……"

Aso didn't know how to answer this question.

The queen frowned slightly, and after dressing the wound, she looked up at a person in the surrounding crowd.This man is the mayor of this town.

"Mayor, as I remember, the winter relief supplies have been distributed years ago, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I ordered and collected the supplies myself at that time. Not a little bit."

"Oh? Then what's going on?"

The queen pointed to Asuo, looked at the mayor and asked.

"This, this... Your Majesty, there is a reason for this, isn't it what you think?"

"Oh? It's not like that? You can explain the reason clearly. Since the supplies were distributed, why did some people not receive them? What's more, it's so dangerous for such a young child to have no clothes in winter?"

The queen's voice has gradually turned cold.Whatever the reason, it was the mayor's responsibility to distribute the capital, and under the current circumstances, there was no doubt that he had failed in this matter.

"This one……"

The mayor's forehead was already sweating, but this child's situation was really special, he didn't know where to explain it when he faced the Queen's moment of nervousness.

Seeing that the mayor was speechless for a long time, the queen snorted coldly, ignored him, and took Ah Suo's hand instead.

"Asuo, don't be afraid, tell me honestly, is this person bullying you and not giving you supplies for the winter? I can punish him on your behalf."

"No, it's not. Your Majesty, yes, it's my own problem, not the mayor's fault. Really...me, I'm because...because..."

Asuo hurriedly explained, but when it came to the specific reason, she couldn't say it.

The supplies in the town are distributed by family, and if they are orphans without families, they will be distributed to the orphanage in a unified way, and the children will pick them up in person.

This kind of thing is naturally no problem for other children, but Asuo is different. She is very resistant to the orphanage, or is very afraid. Sneering or pitiful eyes, her ugly looks even scare and cry a few new kids every time.So for Asuo, she would rather live a bit harder than go to that place to get things.This has led to the current situation.

However, how could she tell the Queen about such an inferiority complex?If she really said it, I don't know if she would think that she is a coward... Although she is indeed a coward...

Just when Asuo was in a hurry, an adjutant hurried up to the queen and whispered something to her.This adjutant was in charge of delivering orders, and she had already informed the townspeople about the girl's situation urgently, so she immediately came to explain to the queen.

The queen nodded after hearing this, thought for a while, and walked to the girl's side.

"Asuo, since you have no home to go to, are you willing to follow me back to the palace?"

"Emperor... eh? Emperor's palace?"

Asuo was stunned for a second, and then finally realized, he couldn't help taking a step back, and cried out in surprise.

"Is the imperial palace... the imperial palace in Asbiro City?"

She confirmed with some disbelief.

"Well, yes."

The Queen nodded and smiled, "How about it, do you want to go back with me?"

After getting a definite answer again, Ah Suo finally confirmed that the queen was really inviting her to the palace!
The imperial palace, that is the place that all clansmen yearn for. I don’t know how many children’s dream is to work in the imperial palace.For Asuo, this is even more unthinkable, let alone the palace, even if he can go to Aspiro City once in his life to see her, he will die without regret.
