On the Seven Towers

When Liu Pengfei left the yard, his face gradually became solemn. Princess Laura was so eager to kill the queen. She was really a decisive woman. This was also the most unpleasant thing about her. Liu Pengfei asked himself, if it weren't for the princess's young and beautiful body, and sometimes the contrast between a young girl and a black-bellied queen, she really didn't please him in other aspects. He thought that he had made a lot of sacrifices for the school to get close to this woman.

While thinking, Liu Pengfei came to the Royal Guard camp outside the palace. The Royal Guard had been infiltrated by Princess Laura's power a long time ago. Even those who had not been infiltrated were imprisoned in the palace dungeon before last night. Now, those who can stay in this camp are all the princess's people. Some of them are even more qualified than Liu Pengfei's direct descendants. However, as a mid-level mage and with some unclear relationship with the princess, his status is naturally not comparable to these people.

The princess asked him to come here to find a knight named Yaur, who would help him complete this task. Liu Pengfei had never heard of this person, but since he was arranged by the princess to be involved in this matter, he must be her confidant.

This unknown guy was obviously the one arranged by the princess to do the dirty work. Liu Pengfei felt that the princess was quite righteous at this time. He only needed to bear the reputation of this matter, and he didn't need to get bloodstained. The specific action could be left to this Yaur.

As soon as he arrived at the camp, a guard officer came down from the upstairs preparedly. He saluted him before he stood still and said, "Sir Liu Pengfei, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Sir Yaur, I have to do something for the princess and need a few of the most reliable people." Liu Pengfei said.

"Where are you going to do it?" the other party asked.

"It's in the palace, the West Building."

Yaul nodded thoughtfully and said, "In that case, let me go with you. Some things don't require too many people."

The West Building where the queen is is an independent three-story stone building. It was originally used to accommodate visiting guests, but now this independent house is used to imprison the queen.

Liu Pengfei came to the small building and saw that there were nearly 30 soldiers downstairs blocking the entire small building. The high-level knight Agudero, who was in the lead, saw Liu Pengfei coming and nodded slightly and said, "Sir Liu Pengfei, to enter the house behind, you must have the princess's own order. Otherwise, no one can contact the queen."

Liu Pengfei took out a paper roll and handed it to Agudero, who read it carefully and nodded, saying, "My soldiers and I will not go near that house, nor will we care about what happens inside. We only care about one thing, that is, the queen will never be allowed to leave that building."

"Of course, I know this very well." Liu Pengfei replied.

Agudero hesitated for a moment, then said, "Please remember that she is still a queen anyway, and the queen should be treated as she is."

Liu Pengfei patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know."

The soldiers guarding the small building then dispersed to both sides, making way for a path.

When Liu Pengfei and Knight Yaur entered the small building, Agudero sighed as he looked at their backs.

The queen herself was locked in the suite on the third floor. There were only two maids on the first and second floors who were responsible for temporarily taking care of the queen's daily life. Liu Pengfei came to the door of the queen's room on the third floor, and saw that there was a rather complicated seal on the door, which prevented people from touching the door behind.

Liu Pengfei placed a small sign on the seal, and after the seal flashed, it dissipated, revealing the keyhole of the door. He took out a key from his pocket and opened the door.

In the living room inside the door, with her back to the door, sat a purple-haired woman. Liu Pengfei could see that a royal seal was given to her on the back of her neck. This female mage, who was originally at the mid-level, was now just a woman with no power.

Hearing the noise at the door, she jumped up nervously and looked back at Liu Pengfei. There was no grace left in this beautiful woman, and all that was left was fear and terror.

She saw that Liu Pengfei looked both frightened and confused, and screamed, then covered her mouth again. She asked with a trembling voice through her fingers, "Sir, are you Chinese?"

"You don't know who I am?" Liu Pengfei asked in surprise. He always felt that he was an important person around the princess. The leader of the rival in front of him didn't know him, which really showed that she was extremely mediocre in politics and intelligence.

"I don't know. I saw you because of the competition in the fiefdom that day, but you didn't appear, so I don't know your name." The queen whispered.

"My name is Liu Pengfei. I am Princess Laura's staff member and her friend."

"Even the Tower of China has sided with the princess?"

Liu Pengfei did not answer the question directly, but said: "Do you know why I came here today?"

The queen looked at the several strong knights behind him and suddenly burst into tears: "I know, I know, my time is up. But I don't want to die, I really don't want to die."

Liu Pengfei was a little unprepared for the queen's sudden emotional breakdown. He said: "This is the fate that losers have to face. Do you have any other requests?"

The queen covered her face and cried for a long time, sobbing and said: "I don't have anything else, I just want to know whether Javier is dead or alive, and what happened to him later?"

"He was not caught that night, but I don't know where he is now. I guess Metatron took her to hide."

"As long as he is not caught and killed, it means there is still a chance, and the God of War will definitely protect him." Hearing that Javier did not fall into the hands of the princess, she felt better, "May I ask how my husband, the king, is now?"

"The king is not in good condition, and it should be difficult for him to survive today or tomorrow." Liu Pengfei said: "Princess Laura arranged for a mage to treat his body, but his vitality has been exhausted to the extreme, and nothing can be changed."

"I have a last request..." the queen said softly.

"Do you want to see him?"

"Yes! Just take a look. Or... die beside him." The queen nodded repeatedly, and said in a pleading tone, "I don't want to die here alone."

Liu Pengfei frowned and said: "That's impossible. There are very few things I can promise you. Now, I have said everything I can say, and then it's your turn to face your own fate. As the queen, I can give you a choice, how do you want to die?"
